Cooper, a two-time MAC Player of the Week this season, became the first two-time First Team selection from Ohio since Jerome Tillman ( 07, 09) and consecutive firstteam choice since Brandon Hunter did it three times ( 01-03). Cooper recorded the first triple-double Ohio history when he recorded 14 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists in a win at Portland.

As he enters his fourth season as head coach at Ohio University, Groce has wasted no time instilling that same fire into every facet of the Bobcat program. In 2010, he became the fifth coach to lead Ohio to the NCAA Tournament in it s 104-year history. A stirring run through the Mid-American Conference Tournament featured an overtime win on the road in the first round, a toppling of regular-season champion Kent State in the quarterfinals, a victory over archrival Miami in the semifinals and capped with another overtime victory against the defending conference champs, Akron. The historic season did not end in Cleveland as Ohio advanced the to the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2005 and third time in the last 20 years. The 13-seeded Bobcats faced 4-seeded Georgetown and knocked off the Hoyas, It was Ohio s first win against a nationally-ranked program since 1998 and advanced them into the NCAA Second Round for the first time since The win was also the fifth all-time for the Green & White in the Big Dance. Ohio led the league in scoring by averaging 74.7 points per game and had five players average 10.5 points or more for their campaigns. The 2,763 points scored last year were the most by any Bobcat team, breaking the previous mark of 2,668 set during the season. The Green & White also finished second in the league in three-point field goal percentage (.366), three-point field goal percentage defense (.312), rebounding offense (37.1), assists (14.16), turnover margin (+2.51) and three-point field goals made (7.51). While Groce s attacking style of play undoubtedly leads to results on the court, it also benefits the Ohio players when it comes time to collect hardware. Last year, D.J. Cooper was named the MAC Freshman of the Year after an outstanding season. The guard was one of just two players in the nation to rank in the top 15 in both steals and assists which also helped him land a spot on the 2010 CollegeInsider.com Freshmen All-America Team. Armon Bassett was an honorable mention All-MAC performer after leading Ohio with 17.1 points per game and finishing fourth in the league in scoring. Bassett was named the MAC Tournament MVP after averaging 29 points per game and setting a MAC record with 116 points scored. Already known as one of the premier recruiters in the college game, Groce and his staff enjoyed an off-court success of a different kind during the season as their five-player 2009 recruiting class was regarded as the 10th-best in the country among mid-majors and one of the top-70 in the nation overall by Hoop Scoop Online. Two members of the class were named the best incoming players at their position in the MAC by Rivals.com, while all five were nominated for McDonald s High School All-America status during their final prep campaigns. For this upcoming season, Groce has brought in even more talent with the addition of four freshmen and two transfers. Since his first day on the job, Groce, a former teacher, has also placed great importance on the academic success of the Ohio program. Groce s first three quarters on the job saw the Bobcats post team grade-point averages that ranked among the five-best in the 15 academic quarters since the beginning of the school year. Under his tutelage, 14 Ohio players have earned an individual GPA of 3.00 or better for a quarter a combined 22 times. Prior to his arrival in Athens, Groce spent four seasons on staff at Ohio State, the final two as associate head coach. During his tenure, he helped the Buckeyes to 105 victories, including a school-record 35 wins in , a pair of outright Big Ten regular-season titles, two NCAA Tournament appearances, a berth in the 2007 NCAA National Championship game and the 2008 NIT title. Groce was also heavily involved in recruiting at Ohio State and played a vital role in bringing future first-round NBA draft-picks Greg Oden, Mike Conley, Jr., and Daequan Cook to Columbus, earning him the title of Rivals.com Recruiter of the Year in His 2007 class at OSU, which featured a five-star prospect and two four-star recruits, was also ranked sixth in the nation. The Danville, Ind., native began his coaching career in 1993 as an assistant at his alma mater, Taylor University, in Upland, Ind. During that time, Taylor posted a record and earned a pair of trips to the NAIA national tournament. He helped the Trojans to a 29-5 record and a No. 1 national ranking in Groce broke into Division I basketball as a member of Herb Sendek s staff at NC State in 1996, ultimately serving as an assistant with the Wolfpack from NCSU earned postseason bids in each of his four years on the sidelines, including a trip to the 2000 NIT semifinals. With his hiring at Ohio, Groce became the eighth former Sendek assistant to ascend to the Division I head coaching ranks. In , Groce moved on to Butler, where he joined Thad Matta s staff for the first of his eight years working with the current Ohio State head coach. With Groce on the bench, the Bulldogs captured both the Midwestern College Conference regular-season and tournament crowns, and advanced to the second round of the NCAA Tournament. Groce accompanied Matta to Xavier in 2001, helping lead the Musketeers to a overall record and an appearance in the NCAA Tournament in each of his three seasons on staff. The crown jewel of Groce s time in Cincinnati was a berth in the 2004 NCAA Elite Eight. After starring for current Iowa head coach Todd Lickliter at Danville High School, Groce played basketball for three years at Taylor, helping the Trojans to a composite record and three trips to the NAIA Tournament, including an NAIA Final Four bid in He earned a bachelor s degree in mathematics from Taylor in Born on Sept. 7, 1971, in Muncie, Ind., Groce and his wife, Allison, have two sons, Conner and Camden.
