72010-2011R A D F O R D ThesixthheadcoachinRadfordmen’sbasketballhistory,BradGreenbergjoinedthe Highlander family on March 23, 2007. He has a long, impressive resume that in-cludes nearly 30 years in basketball in a variety of capacities, including successful NBA andcollegiatecoaching,aswellasmanagementandmediaexperience. In just three years on the bench of the Highlanders, Greenberg has guided his clubs to a number of school and Big South records while putting together an overall record of 50-44, making him third quickest in program history to hit the 50-win plateau. In league play under his leadership, Radford is an impressive 33-17, including a 28-8 mark the last two years. Prior to Greenberg’s arrival on the Radford campus, theHighlandermen’sbasketballprogramhadn’texperi-enced back-to-back winning campaigns since the 1999-2000 and 2000-01 seasons and was 15 games under .500 the previous three seasons. Coming off the school’s second trip to the NCAA Tournament, Greenberg and the Highlanders put together one of the toughest non-conference schedules in 2009-10, which included trips to No. 7 Duke, top-ranked Kansas and Louisville. Highlighting Radford’s out-of-league slate was a 27-point home win over George Mason, a 2006 NCAA Final Four participant. In2009-10,theBigSouthpreseasonfavoritesfinished19-12overalland13-5inBigSouth play, earning the league tournament’s No. 2 seed. InadditiontofinishingsecondintheBigSouthregularseasonstandings,theHighlanders ran through February with a 7-1 mark for the second consecutive season, improving to 19-5 in the month under Greenberg. Dating back to the 2008-09 season, Radford has won 15 of its last 18 league road games, which included a conference-tying record of 11 straight. Along with their impres-sive road resume, the Highlanders have recorded wins in 28 of their last 36 Big South regular season contests, and 32 of their last 41 against league competition, including the conference tournament. As a team, Greenberg’s 2009-10 club was among national leaders in defensive fieldgoalpercentage(27th/.397),reboundingmargin(7th/7.4)andassistspergame(16th/16.2). To go along with their team statistical rankings, several Highlanders ranked among the nation’s best, including Art Parakhouski, who led the nation in rebounding (1st/13.4) anddouble-doubles(1st/26),whilefinishing14thinscoring(21.4)and10thinfield-goalpercentage (.581).

Just after leading his club to the 2009 NCAA Tournament, Greenberg was tabbed the Richmond Times Dispatch State Coach of the Year. In just his second year, Greenberg led Radford to its seventh 20-win season in school history. Along with leading the Highlanders to their most wins since the 1990-91 campaign, Radford tied the conference record for league wins in a season with 15. Greenberg’s Highlanders also won a school-record nine-straight games away from home, which is currently the second longest streak in the nation.

The new school standards set in Greenberg’s second season included rebounds in a game (65, at VMI, 2/21/09), blocks in a contest (12, vs. UNCA, 3/5/09), single-season free-throw attempts (811) and rebounds (1,324).

“It’s amazing that I’m saying this with ev-erything that Brad Greenberg has done in his career, but he’s one of the top up-and-coming college head coaches in the country. What he’s done in his brief tenure at Radford is nothing short of amazing. The guy has an eye for talent, but what’s overlooked is his ability to connect with his players and get every ounce out of his guys as possible.”

The Big South Conference Since its founding in 1983, the Big South Conference has matured into a competi-

tiveleaderincollegeathletics,activelypursuingexcellenceonthefieldofplayandin the classroom. The League’s growing presence as an NCAA Division I athletic conference is evident by athletic accomplishments on the national stage, innovative marketing and media partnerships, increased television packages, and quality athletic competition while intentionally fostering the academic, personal, social, athletic and leadership development of each student-athlete. This has evolved into the Confer-ence’s mission of “Developing Leaders Through Athletics.”

The Big South Conference was formed on August 21, 1983, when Charleston Southern (then Baptist College) Athletic Director Howard Bagwell and Augusta Presi-dent George Christenberry began recruiting members into the Big South, receiving ini-tial commitments from Augusta, Charleston Southern, Campbell, Coastal Carolina and Winthrop. One month later, Dr. Edward M. Singleton was selected as the League’s firstCommissionerandcontinuedtosolicitnewmembers.Hiseffortsledtotheaddi-tions of Armstrong State, Radford and UNC Asheville, giving the Big South more than therequiredsixmemberstoconstituteanofficialconference.TheBigSouth’sfirstyear of competition was in the Fall of 1984, and in September 1986, the Big South Conferencewasgrantedfull-fledgedNCAADivisionIstatus.

During its infancy and prior to securing automatic bids to NCAA Championships, the Big South made early strides in earning at-large berths in several national post-season events, including volleyball, women’s basketball and women’s golf. In 1989, George F. “Buddy” Sasser replaced the retiring Dr. Singleton as Commissioner, and in1990,theLeaguereceiveditsfirstautomaticbid–receivinganautomaticqualifierto the NCAA Baseball Championship. Under Sasser’s seven years of leadership, the Conference implemented its public relations and compliance programs, and introduced itsfirst-evermen’sbasketballtelevisionpackage,featuringtheBigSouthcompetingamongsomeofthefinestteamsinthenation.

In August 1996, Kyle B. Kallander replaced Sasser as the third Commissioner, and in his 13 years at the helm of the Big South, Kallander has been instrumental in aggressively promoting the Conference to new levels. The Conference has enjoyed record levels in marketing revenue during the past several years, he has brought televisioncoveragetoBigSouthwomen’sbasketball,baseballandsoftballforthefirsttimeinConferencehistory,aswellasincreasednationaltelevisionexposuretotheLeague as a whole through aggressive and unique television packages.
