3 WINNINGEST ACTIVE HEAD COACHES With 630 career wins as of Nov. 17, 2009, head coach Tom Penders ranks among the NCAA top-five active coaching career leaders. The sixth-year Houston head coach also ranks among the NCAA Division I top- 30 all-time leaders in that category. Rk. Wins Coach Current School Mike Krzyzewski Duke Jim Calhoun Connecticut Jim Boeheim Syracuse Bob Huggins West Virginia Tom Penders Houston Gary Williams Maryland Homer Drew Valparaiso Roy Williams North Carolina Bo Ryan Wisconsin Mike Montgomery California TAKING CARE The Cougars ranked second in the country with only 9.81 turnovers per game in and joined Notre Dame (9.59) to average fewer than 9.85 giveaways per game. It was the fourth straight season that the Cougars lowered their turnovers per game average. Here is where the Cougars have ranked among all NCAA Division I teams in the last four seasons as well as their ranks in UH single-season history. National UH Year Avg.

Center Marial Dahl of Hillsborough Community College will join the Cougars as a junior in At 7-foot, 3-inches tall, he will be the tallest player in school history and only the third African to play for the Cougars.

Joey Shaw led Nevada with 26 points, while Brandon Fields added 24 points... Luke Babbitt tallied 14 points and a game-high 17 rebounds, while Armon Johnson posted 22 points and a game-high 12 assists. LIMITED COMPANY With 30-point efforts in back-to-back games to open the season, senior guard Aubrey Coleman joined an exclusive group in Houston history. Coleman joined Cougar legends Otis Birdsong and Elvin Hayes as the only players in school history to record back-to-back 30-point games during the first two games of any season. He became the first player to accomplish that feat since Birdsong did it against Texas Lutheran (34 pts., Nov. 28, 1976) and against Lamar (Dec. 1, 1976). 30-POINT CLUB With a game-high 32 points at Nevada on Nov. 21, senior guard Aubrey Coleman recorded the fifth 30-point effort of his career. That moved him into a tie for ninth place in school history with Dwight Davis ( ) and Gary Phillips ( ). Up next in the Houston records book is Tim Moore, who posted six 30-point games from 1993 to MORE FOR THE TROPHY CASE After opening the season with back-to-back 30-point games, senior guard Aubrey Coleman was honored as the Conference USA Player of the Week on Nov. 23. It was his first award of the season but his third honor during his career. In addition, he was named the league s Rookie of the Week five times in JUST GETTING STARTED It certainly took very little time for senior guard Aubrey Coleman to knock the rust off during Houston s season-opening win against Nicholls State on Nov. 17. The Houston native scored a game-high 33 points on 12-of-25 shooting with three assists and four steals in 26 minutes. Coleman also came just one rebound short of recording the 15th double-double of his career. His performance tied for the third-most points by any Cougar in a season-opening game. His mark equaled the totals of Robert McKiver (at Rhode Island, Nov. 13, 2006); Tim Moore (vs. James Madison, Nov. 25, 1994). It trailed only the school-record 35-point effort by the legendary Elvin Hayes (vs. Sacramento State, Dec. 2, 1967) and 34 points from Otis Birdsong (vs. Texas Lutheran; Nov. 28, 1976). DOWNTOWN ADAM BROWN Junior guard Adam Brown did a little of everything in the Cougars loss at Nevada on Nov. 21. The San Antonio, Texas, native came off the bench to score a career-high 25 points with five 3-pointers, two rebounds and a game-high steals. Brown scored 12 of his points during a 9-minute run midway through the second half that helped the Cougars turn a 26-point deficit into only a 6-point margin. He showed glimpses of things to come in the Cougars season-opening win against Nicholls State on Nov. 17. Brown posted six points, four rebounds and a steal in only four minutes against the Colonels. This season, he ranks second on the team and among the Conference USA individual leaders with 15.5 points and 3.5 steals per game. IMPRESSIVE OPENING NIGHT With a win against Nicholls State on Nov. 17, the Cougars opened the season in impressive fashion. That victory tied for the second biggest season-opening win since and tied for the fifth-biggest season-opening win ever. The team under head coach Tom Penders opened the year with a win against Florida Tech to set the school record, while the squad enjoyed a home win against UC Davis.

In addition, Houston also improved to 23-5 (.821) during all-time season openers inside Hofheinz Pavilion. IRON MAN Senior guard Kelvin Lewis has been a regular in the lineup throughout his Cougar career. Entering Saturday s at Nevada, the Fort Worth native has competed in each of the last 64 games with starts in each of the last 37 contests. Both streaks are the longest among current Cougar players. However, Lewis does much more than just compete in those games; he plays and finishes them. A year ago, Lewis led all players in Conference USA, competing an average of minutes per game. A CHIP OFF THE OLD BLOCK Senior guard Kelvin Lewis never needs to look into the stands to find his father during games; he only needs to check the Cougar bench. Kevin Lewis is in his fourth season at Houston in as the senior associate coach. The elder Lewis works closely with the Cougar post players and assists in all recruiting. The elder Lewis was a four-year letterman at SMU from 1982 to 1986, earning All-Southwest Conference honors as a senior. OFF THE COURT Senior forward Sean Coleman has been a reliable contributor for the Cougars, both on and off the court.

DON T OVERLOOK DESMOND At 5-8, sophomore guard Desmond Wade easily is the shortest member of the Cougars team, standing four inches shorter than the next tallest player on the squad. However, he is more than the smallest player on the team. He ranks as one of the shortest players to play in UH history. Guard Herbert Johnson was the shortest player in UH history, competing at 5-5 on the team. At 5-8, Wade joins a group of players, including Calvin Murphy, Jr. ( ), guard Vinnie Caruso ( ), guard Denny Bishop ( ), guard Bryan Schisler ( ), guard Sam Sells ( ) and guard Bennie McMorrough ( ). However, of that group, only Murphy, Bishop, Schisler and Sells competed in games during their collegiate careers. In addition, Schisler was listed at 5-9 for his final two seasons in a Cougar uniform.

6 TOM PENDERS Head Coach Sixth Season at Houston 36th Season Overall Record at UH Overall Record Connecticut 1967 Fifth winningest active coach t-no. 28 all-time Winning basketball has followed head coach Tom Penders everywhere he has worked, and the University of Houston is certainly no exception. Penders begins his sixth season as the head coach at the University of Houston in with eyes on the program s fourth postseason appearance during the last five years. Taking over a program that had posted double-digit wins only twice in the seven seasons before he arrived in 2004, Penders has led the Cougars to five straight winning seasons with at least 18 wins each year and four postseason berths With 102 victories through his first five seasons at UH, he compiled more wins during that stretch than any coach in program history. In addition, he became the first coach in school history to lead the Cougars to five straight seasons with at least 18 wins. He also added his name to the national records book as PENDERS YEAR-BY-YEAR RECORD Overall Conference Year School Record Pct. Record Pct.

With the Cougars win at Conference USA rival UCF on Feb. 2, 2008, Penders recorded the 600th win of his career. Earlier in the season, he competed in the 1,000th game of his collegiate career during a win over C-USA rival UTEP on Jan. 19, Penders became only the 34th coach in NCAA history to reach 600 victories and only the 24th to have competed in at least 1,000 games.

Before arriving at Houston, Penders compiled winning records at all but one stop before leaving. Although he departed Columbia with a record following the season, he built a program that had won only five games the year before his arrival into one with back-toback winning seasons during his final two years. Throughout his coaching career, his teams not only won but captured a national audience with their record-setting styles of play. His teams at Texas and George Washington set school records for most points in a season and renewed fan interest at each school. With such an impressive body of work, Penders added another award to his trophy case in the summer of For his achievements on the court and his athletic accomplishments during his playing days, Penders was inducted into the Fairfield County (Conn.) Sports Hall of Fame. This was the third such honor he received during his career.
