8 LON KRUGER - HEAD COACH Longtime collegiate and NBA basketball coach Lon Kruger finished his third season as the Runnin Rebels head coach in , a season that put the program back in the national spotlight. Hired at UNLV on March 15, 2004, as the 10th fulltime head coach in UNLV men s basketball history, Kruger s fi rst two Runnin Rebel teams showed positive signs of progress under his leadership - progress that paid off in his third season in Las Vegas. In March, Kruger and the Runnin Rebels made the program s first NCAA Tournament Sweet 16 appearance since 1991, becoming only the fi fth team in UNLV men s basketball history to reach 30 wins in a season. The squad was ranked in both major polls for the fi rst time since 1993 and won the Mountain West Conference Tournament championship for the fi rst time since Finishing the season with an overall record of 30-7 (UNLV s best since reaching the Final Four in 1991), this year s team was ranked 14th in the country in the final ESPN/USA Today Coaches Poll. The 2007 NCAA Tournament marked UNLV s first since 2000, but the program had gone 15 years without a win in the Big Dance. That changed in a big way this past March as UNLV, a seven-seed in the Midwest Region, marched past 10th-seeded Georgia Tech and second-seeded Wisconsin in Chicago. Kruger became just the second coach in school history to win an NCAA Tournament game and in his 10th career trip to the Big Dance as a head coach, he became just the fi fth man in college basketball history to take four different schools to the NCAA Tournament. He is just the fourth coach in NCAA Tournament history to take three different programs to the Sweet 16 since the field was expanded to 64 teams and is one of just three coaches to win at least one game in the tournament with four different schools. UNLV fi nished tied for sixth in the country in total wins this past season and became the first team in the eightyear history of the Mountain West Conference to reach 30 victories in a season. The team also defeated four ranked teams, the program s most in a season in 16 years also marked a return of dominance by UNLV at home as it recorded a 19-1 record at the Thomas & Mack Center, including wins in each of its last 17 games at home, which is tied for the 10th-longest active home-court win streak in the country. During MWC action in 2007, UNLV fi nished second, just one game back in the standings with a 12-4 league mark. UNLV recorded a perfect home mark (8-0) in conference play for the fi rst time since the season. Additionally, the 12 conference wins for UNLV was the most in a season by the Runnin Rebels in 14 years. Coach Kruger took over a program at UNLV in 2004 that had gone through a period of signifi cant instability, with nine different head coaches in the previous 13 seasons. Over that span, the program made just two NCAA Tournament appearances, both fi rst-round losses. During his fi rst two years in charge of the Runnin Rebel program, Kruger constructed a foundation for success and his teams demonstrated characteristics that Kruger-led squads have always shown: unselfishness, teamwork, toughness and a positive attitude geared toward continual improvement throughout the season. Those teams recorded overall marks of and 17-13, respectively. His team was invited to the National Invitation Tournament and advanced to the second round, while the squad won 10 MWC games, which equaled the UNLV record for most wins in MWC action to that point. In his three seasons at UNLV, Kruger has compiled a mark. In July, he was honored by a local radio station as its 2007 Sportsman of the Year. A veteran of two-plus decades as a head coach on the collegiate and professional levels, Kruger came to Las Vegas after a four-year stint in the NBA. Following 18 years as one of the nation s most successful college coaches, Kruger spent three seasons ( ) as the head coach of the Atlanta Hawks and then part of the season as an assistant with the New York Knicks. At the collegiate level, Kruger has compiled an impressive overall mark in 21 seasons as a head coach at Pan American ( ), Kansas State ( ), Florida ( ), Illinois ( ) and UNLV (2004-present). His milestone 350th-career win came at home against Utah at the Thomas & Mack Center on Feb. 22, Another impressive statistic that illustrates his ability to build programs is the fact that he has led all five of the schools he has coached to 20-win seasons. Kruger, 54, has guided his teams to the postseason on 13 different occasions, with 10 appearances in the NCAA Tournament and three in the NIT. He has compiled eight

9 LON KRUGER - HEAD COACH 20-plus victory seasons, was a two-time SEC Coach of the Year (1992 and 1994) and led his Florida squad to the NCAA Final Four. At Illinois, Kruger led the Illini to three NCAA Tournament second-round appearances in his four seasons and compiled an mark (.628). In his fi rst season at Illinois, Kruger guided the Illini to a overall record and a fourth-place fi nish in the Big Ten Conference after the team had recorded a ninth-place fi nish the previous year. In his second season, Kruger took a group of players that was picked to fi nish seventh in the Big Ten and led the Illini to the school s first Big Ten Championship since That team posted a second-straight 20-win season with a record. Kruger s third Illini team returned no starters and the Big Ten s youngest and most inexperienced team faced the second-toughest schedule in the nation (Sagarin ratings). That team recorded fi ve wins against ranked opponents and came within one game of the NCAA Tournament by falling to No. 2 Michigan State in the conference championship. Kruger s last Illinois squad finished and again made it to the second round of the NCAA Tournament. During his six-year stint at Florida, Kruger transformed the Gators from a program that was not a factor in the SEC race to a team that posted a single-season school-record 29 wins and went on to postseason play four times. The year before Kruger took over the program ( ), Florida fi nished 7-21 overall and 3-15 in the SEC. In six seasons in Gainesville, Kruger twice led the Gators to the NIT and twice to the NCAA Tournament. His crowning achievement came in 1994 THE KRUGER FILE Born: August 19, 1952 Hometown: Silver Lake, Kan.
