PRETTY EXCLUSIVE COMPANYJack Styczynski of the Basketball Times recently published a report on the top NCAA Division I men’s bas-ketball programs over the last decade. His panel of 10 USBWA writers evaluated programs according to anumber of criteria. Belmont ranked as the No. 11 program in America from 2003-12. Then in 2014,Bleacher Report/Turner Sports ranked Belmont as one of the top seven mid-major programs of the lasttwo decades. Notably, Belmont was No. 1 in the category of ‘Federal Graduation Rate’ and No. 4 in thecategory of ‘Program Cleanliness.’ The top 10 programs, in order, were Duke, North Carolina, Gonzaga,Davidson, Wisconsin, Butler, Michigan State, Kansas, BYU, and Creighton. Belmont head Rick Byrd wasranked as the No. 13 head coach. In addition, only Belmont, Gonzaga, and Kansas have earned sevenautomatic bids to the NCAA Tournament in the last 11 years. And only Belmont, Gonzaga, Marquette,VCU, and Xavier among NCAA Division I-AAA (non-football) institutions have reached the NCAATournament seven of the last 11 years.

THANKS FOR EVERYTHINGBelmont’s graduating seniors in 2016 - Craig Bradshaw and Jeff Laidig - accomplished a great deal intheir careers, elevating the Bruin program to a new level of prominence. The duo combined for an aston-ishing four years: 94 victories, five conference championships (three regular season, two tournament), twoNCAA Tournament appearances and two Postseason NIT appearances. Bradshaw was named All-OVCthree times and Academic All-America, while Laidig represented Belmont at the 2016 Final Four as partof the Allstate NABC Good Works Team.

SUSTAINED EXCELLENCEIn Belmont Basketball, Coach Byrd has built a program with staying power. Some of the accomplish-ments of the Bruin program are staggering, almost hard-to-believe, when you consider that Belmont hasonly been NCAA Division I since 1996-97. In addition to the Page 1 ‘Program Profile’ bullet points, con-sider:

• Belmont enters the 2016-17 season as one of only three NCAA Division I men’s basketball programsto earn an automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament seven of the last 11 years (Gonzaga, Kansas).

• Belmont enters the 2016-17 season as one of only seven non-Power 5 programs to earn National Top25 poll votes and post a Top 100 RPI each of the last six seasons (BYU, Gonzaga, St. Mary’s (CA), SanDiego State, VCU, Wichita State).

• Belmont enters the 2016-17 season as one of only 13 programs to win 19 or more games each of thelast 10 seasons (Akron, BYU, Duke, Gonzaga, Kansas, Louisville, Michigan State, North Carolina, Ohio State,



San Diego State, VCU, Wisconsin).• Belmont has won 16 conference championships (nine regular season, seven tournament) since 2006;

third-most nationally over that span (Kansas, Gonzaga).• From 2003-14, Belmont and Kansas were the only two programs in America that won 12 or more con-

ference games for 12 straight seasons.• Since 1997, starting with Belmont, 47 schools have started Division I programs. Only 12 have reached

the NCAA Tournament. Just four - Belmont (seven), Albany (five), Oakland (three), and Portland State(two) - have made multiple trips.

GOLDEN STATE OF MINDFormer Belmont men's basketball All-American Ian Clark ('13) earned a regular season roster spot on theNBA Champion Golden State Warriors for a second straight season and embarks on year four in the asso-ciation. This becomes the latest, and arguably greatest, triumph for Clark in his basketball career. In aleague laden with household names from high-profile, high revenue college programs, Clark continues todefy the odds; letting his pure outside shooting stroke, all-court game, and professional approach speakfor itself. The Memphis, Tennessee native led Belmont to three consecutive NCAA Tournament appear-ances and four consecutive regular season conference championships, standing as Belmont's NCAADivision I era career leader in points (1,920) and made three-point field goals (340). After strong perform-ances in the Portsmouth Invitational and Orlando NBA Summer League for the Miami Heat, Clarklatched on with the Golden State Warriors for 2013 Vegas NBA Summer League. Clark would score athen-record 33 points in the championship game, leading Golden State past Phoenix en route toChampionship Game Most Valuable Player honors. Though Clark would ultimately agree to a two-yeardeal with the Utah Jazz, his impression upon the Golden State organization was undeniable. After closinglast season with the Denver Nuggets – and shining with the team from the Mile High City in summerleague – Clark and Golden State got together. But emblematic of his career journey, nothing would behanded to Clark; he would have to earn a regular season roster spot. And that meant beating out a collec-tion of accomplished perimeter players from major conference programs, including former NCAA cham-pion and No. 3 overall pick Ben Gordon. Moreover, his attention to detail and positive outlook impressedWarrior teammates, most notably reigning NBA Most Valuable Player Stephen Curry. Clark scored acareer-high 23 points vs. Portland Dec. 17, and was part of the GSW record-setting 73-9 team last season.

CURBSIDE VIEWIn 13 short seasons, the Curb Event Center has gained a national reputation as being one of the finest newfacilities in college basketball. Since the inaugural 2003-04 season, Belmont is 157-25 (.863) at the CurbEvent Center. Moreover, the Bruins are 113-13 (.897) in league games at the Curb Event Center. Belmonthad its NCAA-best 35 game conference home court win streak snapped Feb. 6, 2016 vs. Eastern Kentucky.Belmont posted an NCAA-best home court winning percentage (.962, 51-2) from 2011-14. The Bruins hadtheir NCAA-best 23 game home court win streak snapped Dec. 1, 2013 against No. 24 VCU. Since Feb. 5,2010, only Kansas and Kentucky have better home court winning percentages than Belmont.

ROAMING THE SIDELINESRick Byrd is in his 31st season at Belmont University. He has compiled a 660-329 record during histenure in Nashville and holds a career mark of 752-384 in this his 36th year. Byrd claimed his 700th careervictory Jan. 17, 2015 at Austin Peay. Named OVC Coach of the Year Mar. 4, Byrd has led his program tosix NCAA Tournament appearances since 2006. Most recently, Byrd was inducted into the GreaterKnoxville Sports Hall of Fame and Tennessee Sports Hall of Fame. He also received the 2012 NCAA BobFrederick Sportsmanship Award for lifelong commitment to ethical conduct and fair play. Following thehistoric 30-5 2011 campaign, Byrd earned a number of postseason honors, including being named HughDurham National Coach of the Year, NABC District 3 Coach of the Year, TSWA Men’s College BasketballCoach of the Year, and Atlantic Sun Conference Coach of the Year. He was also a finalist for the 2013 JimPhelan National Coach of the Year Award, Hugh Durham National Coach of the Year Award, and theSkip Prosser Man of the Year Award. The Knoxville, Tenn. native led Belmont to NAIA Final Fourappearances and was named NAIA National Coach-of-the-Year in 1995 after posting a school-best 37-2record. Byrd is the winningest active coach in the Ohio Valley Conference and the state of Tennessee. Heranks seventh on the career wins list among active Division-I head coaches. Coach Byrd was honored asthe ‘12th Titan’ prior to the Dec. 11, 2011 NFL game between the Titans and Saints at LP Field. He alsoserved as chairman of the NCAA Men’s Basketball Rules Committee from 2013-15.

ON THE ROAD AGAINLike many non-BCS conference men’s basketball programs, Belmont will spend a fair amount ofNovember and December away from home. Last season, Belmont played 10 of 14 non-conference gamesaway from home, and the Bruins did not play a single home game from Dec. 1 to Jan. 2 in 2014. Successaway from home is a great source of pride for the Belmont program. In fact entering the season,Belmont’s 132 road/neutral victories since the start of the 2005-06 season are good for the sixth-most inthe NCAA over that span. Belmont had 10 road/neutral victories last year. In 2010-11, Belmont tied withLong Island and San Diego State for the NCAA lead in “true” road victories with 13. Belmont is 20-3 inits last 23 neutral court games against non-BCS competition dating back to the 2009-10 season.

LET IT FLYBelmont has made a national name for itself in recent years by way of its prolific three-point shooting.The Bruins have ranked among the NCAA’s top 25 in three-point field goals per game every year but onesince becoming a Division-I member in 1996-97. Belmont ranked fourth in the nation in three-point fieldgoals per game (10.6) last season. Led by Craig Bradshaw and Taylor Barnette, the Bruins made 338 three-point field goals a year ago. In 2013, Ian Clark ranked third nationally in three-point field goal percentage(.459) en route to the national three-point championships at the Final Four in Atlanta. The Bruin single-game record is 19 made three-point field goals (at Valparaiso, 1/10/00 and at Troy, 12/2/04). And sinceBelmont made the move from NAIA to NCAA Division I in 1996-97, the Bruins rank second nationally inmade three-point field goals over that span (5,678 entering 2016-17 season). Only Duke (5,718) has mademore. Belmont made 17 three-pointers at SEMO (12/31/15) and 39 in its three-game run in the 2015 OVCTournament. The Bruins set a program record with 14 3s in the first half vs. UT Martin (1/5/17).

THANKS FOR THINKING OF US, NATIONAL POLL VOTERSBelmont has received national poll votes each of the last six seasons, including two votes in the 2015Preseason USA Today Coaches’ Poll. Belmont received four Top 25 coaches’ poll votes for the week ofNov. 16. The Bruins received a program-record 31 votes in the Associated Press poll and four votes in theUSA Today Coaches’ Poll released Nov. 25, 2013. Belmont has received national poll Top 25 votes a totalof 23 weeks over the last five seasons. In 2011-12, the Bruins received national poll votes for nine consecu-tive weeks from Jan. 17 to Mar. 14. Belmont joined Brigham Young, San Diego State, Temple, UNLV, UtahState and Xavier as one of only seven non-BCS conference programs to receive AP Top 25 poll votes eachof the last eight weeks of the 2010-11 regular season.

LEND A HELPING HANDBelmont’s offensive philosophy is predicated on sharp, timely passing and unselfish play. The Bruinshave always been among the national leaders in assists per game. Belmont was 10th in the NCAA inassists per game last season (17.0). In fact, Belmont has ranked in the Top 25 in the nation in assists pergame 10 of the last 12 seasons. Belmont recorded a Curb Event Center record 30 assists vs. KennesawState (12/1/11). Four Bruins finished last season with 65+ assists (Luke, Bradshaw, Bradds, Barnette).

GETTING SOME MID-MAJOR CREDThe Belmont program has built a reputation for hard-nosed play and winning, and that is reflected inonline publications. The Bruins are ranked No. 10 in the CollegeInsider.com Mid-Major Top 25 Poll.Belmont has been ranked in the CollegeInsider.com Mid-Major Top 25 Poll 11 straight seasons. Belmont wasalso ranked in every Mid-Major Poll in 2011-12, finishing the season No. 15. Belmont's highest ranking inthe poll was No. 2 on Mar. 7, 2011, when the Bruins also received two first-place votes, and Feb. 4, 2013.Belmont is also a regular in mid-major rankings on ESPN.com, CBSSports.com, Bleacher Report, and MidMajor Madness (which includes conferences outside the Power 5, Big East, MW, AAC).

IN THE NICK OF TIMESenior Nick Smith is another Bruin frontcourt player who will be called upon regularly this season. Smithappeared in 35 games as a freshman, with five double figure scoring games. He scored four points atLipscomb (11/8/13) in his collegiate debut, scored a season-high 11 points vs. Brescia (11/26/13), which hematched at SIUE (2/26/14) and vs. Morehead State (3/7/14). The Bentonville, Ark. native averaged 22points and 13 rebounds per game as a senior leading Bentonville to the Arkansas State High School semi-finals. The 6-8 forward represented the United State in the 2012 Albert Schweitzer Tournament inGermany. Smith set new high school standards for points in a game (44), season (626) and career (1550).Smith would classify as Coach Byrd’s traditional ‘stretch-4,’ but is capable of playing the small forward or‘5’ position as well. In 33 games and six starts last season, Smith had 11 double figure scoring games. Hehad a career-high 30 points vs. UT Martin (1/5/17), 24 points at Morehead (1/12/17), 22 points vs. SIUEdwardsville (1/30/17) and 16 points vs. Murray State in the OVC Championship game (3/7/15). Smithmade the game-winning shot at Western Kentucky (11/22/14).

BRADDS TO THE BONEMuch like Craig Bradshaw before him, senior swingman Evan Bradds has become a rock of consistency.A four-time OVC Freshman of the Week honoree in 2013-14, Bradds can provide production from allangles on the court. The Jamestown, Ohio native had 27 double figure scoring games and six double-dou-bles last season. Most notably, Bradds led the nation in field goal percentage (.688) in 2014-15 and set anew conference standard by shooting nearly 76 percent from the field in league games. An interior threatthroughout his career, Bradds joined Bradshaw on the 2015 NABC All-District and OVC All-Tournamentteams. A original verbal commitment to Ohio University prior to John Groce’s departure for Illinois,Bradds won 74 games over a four-year prep career at Greeneview High School. Bradds averaged 23.4points and 11.0 rebounds per game as a senior en route to Ohio First Team All-State honors. Bradds’grandfather Gary was an All-American at Ohio State and had his No. 35 retired by the Buckeyes. Mr.Bradds was selected No. 3 overall by the Baltimore Bullets in the 1964 NBA Draft. Last year, Braddsscored a career-high 24 points at Western Kentucky (11/22/14) and at Jacksonville State (2/11/15), 22points at Austin Peay (1/17/15) and double-doubles of 22 & 10 vs. UT Martin (1/22/15), 19 & 11 vs. SIUE(1/7/15) and 19 & 18 vs. JSU (1/19/15). He also scored a game-winning three-point play vs. MoreheadState (2/14/15). Bradds was named All-OVC Second Team Mar. 3. Bradds had 21 points and 11 reboundsvs. Murray State in the OVC Championship game (3/7/15) en route to All-Tournament Team honors.Bradds equalled his career-high with 24 points at Marquette (11/13/15) to earn OVC POTW honors. Hehad 28 points, 14 rebounds and four assists on a Belmont NCAA era record 13-for-13 from the field atEvansville (11/21/15), then 30 points vs. South Alabama (11/23/15). He made 22 straight shots over athree-game stretch, four shy of the NCAA Division I record. Bradds went over 1,000 career points in his82nd career game, going for 26 points and 10 rebounds in victory over Valparaiso (12/28/15). Braddsscored a career-high 36 points vs. Tennessee State (1/24/16) and 30 at Jacksonville State (1/28/16). He wasnamed 2016 OVC Player of the Year March 1. Bradds went 15-for-16 FG vs. Austin Peay (3/4/16). After hisjunior season, Bradds was named AP Honorable Mention All-America and Mid-Major All-America.Bradds has been named to the Lute Olson and Julius Erving Award Watch Lists.

TAYLOR MADE FOR BELMONTOne of the most eagerly anticipated Bruin debuts in 2015 was Taylor Barnette. And boy was it worth thewait. Barnette sank the go-ahead three-pointer with under four minutes vs. Eastern Kentucky in the OVCSemifinal round (3/6/15) and hit the game-winning three-pointer with 3.2 seconds remaining vs. MurrayState in the OVC Championship game (3/7/15). Barnette was named OVC Tournament MVP and ESPNCapital One Impact Performer for the month of March. The Lexington, Ky. native considered coming toBelmont out of high school, but Coach Byrd had only one backcourt scholarship at the time. The scholar-ship was offered to Barnette and Craig Bradshaw, with Bradshaw committing first. As fate would have it,the pair is now brought together. Barnette proceeded to verbal at UCF (decommitting after UCF sanc-tions) and signed with the University of Virginia. Barnette saw action in 26 games and started two gamesfor the Cavaliers as a freshman, averaging 2.6 points, 0.7 rebounds and 0.7 assists per game. He rankedsecond on the team in 3-point shooting accuracy at 43.2 percent. Barnette sat out last season in accordancewith NCAA transfer rules. The 6-3 combo guard was a four-year starter at Lexington Christian Academy,sinking a school-record 226 three-point field goals during his career and had a school-record 40 points ina game. He was voted the No. 2 player in the region prior to his senior season. Barnette ranked second inthe OVC in made three-point field goals (84) last season and had a career-high 28 points at Austin Peay(12/31/16). Barnette faced his former coach, Tony Bennett, and his former team, Virginia, in the 2015NCAA Tournament. Barnette scored 20 points at Pepperdine (12/3/16) and hit the game-winning shot atLipscomb (12/6/16). He went over 1,000 career points at Jacksonville State (2/9/17).

THE BOOK OF LUKERedshirt junior point guard Austin Luke is once again expected to earn the starting point guard role forthe Bruins this season. After providing quality depth at the point guard position for Reece Chamberlainin 2014-15, the Rowlett, Texas native proved ready to run the show. Coach Byrd praised Luke’s play dur-ing Belmont’s foreign tour of England and Ireland in August 2015. The latest in a long line of Bruin floorgenerals, with hard-nosed play and an unselfish mentality, Luke played in 30 games as a freshman. Lukewas a three-time Texas 5A All-District 11 honoree. Luke saw great progress working with assistant coachJames Strong and other redshirts last season. He had six points vs. JSU (1/29/15) and made a clutch driv-ing basket in Belmont’s victory over Southeast Missouri (1/1/15). Luke had two assists in eight minutes inthe NCAA Tournament vs. Virginia (3/19/15). In his first career start, Luke had nine assists and only oneturnover, and provided the go-ahead free throws with 28 seconds left at Marquette (11/13/15). Luke hadnine points and a then career-high 11 assists vs. Western Kentucky (11/18/15). He tallied his first careerdouble-double with a career-high 20 points and 11 assists vs. Tennessee State (1/24/16). Luke led the OVCand ranked 15th nationally in assists per game last season (6.3).

THE MAD HADDENRedshirt junior center Tyler Hadden gives Belmont much needed depth and interior presence. TheCincinnati, Ohio native possesses high skill level and shooting touch, that fits the Bruin profile for versa-tile bigs. Hadden used last season to develop his game and get comfortable in the Belmont system, work-ing in particular with Belmont post coach Brian Ayers. He scored a career-high 13 points at Austin Peay(1/17/15) and nine points at Fairfield (12/20/14). Hadden scored 10 points at [23/25] Rhode Island(11/25/16) and started vs. Middle Tennessee (12/14/16).

THE A-TO-Z ON ZAY

Junior forward Amanze Egekeze (uh-MAHN-zay egg-uh-KAY-zay) filled a huge frontcourt need for the

Bruins in is first two seasons and should emerge as a greater offensive cog this season. A four-year letter-

winner at Huntley High School for head coach Marty Manning, Egekeze emerged as one of the top prep

players in northwest Chicago. He was named Northwest Herald and Elgin Courier-News Player of the

Year. Egekeze helped Huntley HS to four consecutive conference championships and the most victories in

school history (89-26 in four seasons). Egekeze averaged 18.7 points and 8.8 rebounds per game as a sen-

ior, finishing with 1,115 career points. He played AAU basketball for Illinois Wolves coached by Mike

Mullins. Exhibiting poise and maturity beyond his years, Egekeze was Belmont’s top post defender and

shot blocker in 2014-15. He had a season-high 16 points vs. JSU (1/29/15) and tallied eight points and four

rebound in the NCAA Tournament vs. Virginia (3/19/15). Egekeze was named Legends Classic All-

Tournament Team. He had 13 double figure games in ‘16 including a season-high 20 points at UT Martin

(1/21/16). Egekeze had a career-high 26 points and 10 rebounds vs. JSU (1/19/17), 24 points and 11

rebounds at Murray State (2/2/17), and 14 points and 14 rebounds at Milwaukee (12/19/16).

BIG MACK

Junior forward Mack Mercer has battled injuries, but is expected to be a major contributor this season. A

heralded prep player, Mercer was ranked among the top players in the state of Indiana and was named to

prestigious Indiana Senior All-Star team, one of only 13 players in the entire state so honored. The 6-9 for-

ward averaged 17.5 points, 9.5 rebounds, and 3.8 blocked shots per game as a senior for Plymouth HS

and averaged 19.0 points and 8.7 rebounds per game as a junior. He played AAU basketball for Eric

Gordon All-Stars coached by Brian Keeton. Mercer scored his first career points vs. Trevecca (11/19/14).

After taking some time to get used to Coach Byrd’s system, Mercer made his presence felt during confer-

ence play last season. Consistently scoring through contact, drawing fouls, and making free throws confi-

dently, Indiana native was one of Belmont’s best players in February. Mercer scored 13 points on only

three field goal attempts vs. Murray State (1/14/16). Mercer missed nine games last season.

SUPER SOPHOMORES

After strong freshman campaigns, Dylan Windler and Kevin McClain are expected to take even greater

steps forward in 2016-17. Coach Byrd as penciled in Windler as Craig Bradshaw’s successor on the wing,

and Windler’s all-court game and poise will be ready for the challenge. Windler ranked among OVC

leaders in blocked shots last season and became the third freshman of Belmont’s NCAA Division I era to

start a postseason game, starting at Georgia (3/16/16) in the Postseason NIT. He had a career-high 23

points vs. Southeast Missouri (1/7/17) and Eastern Kentucky (2/16/17), and sank the game-winning basket

vs. Lipscomb (11/29/16). As for McClain, the Jennings, Florida native possesses tremendous burst offen-

sively, creating openings for himself and teammates, while also being a suffocating on-ball defender. In

his college debut at Marquette, McClain converted two, 4-point plays as part of the Bruins’ win. McClain

scored a career-high 13 points vs. Cleveland State (12/22/16).

A NEWCOMER OF EVERY SIZE

Belmont has three newcomers, with over a foot span in height. 6-11 Seth Adelsperger, an agile center

from Peru, Indiana, who averaged 15.2 points, 9.0 rebounds and 5.0 blocked shots per game as a senior,

ranking Top 5 in state of Indiana in blocked shots. Adelsperger redshirted last season to gain experience

in Coach Byrd’s system and work with post coach Brian Ayers. 6-4 guard Michael Benkert, another

Indiana product, thrived as a senior, earning 2015 IBCA/Subway Boys’ Basketball All-State and Indiana

North-South All-Star Classic roster honors. Like Adelsperger, Benkert redshirted last season, and should

provide tremendous lift and defensive spark off the bench. 5-11 true freshman Nick Hopkins is one of the

most electrifying scorers ever signed by the Bruin program. The 2016 Tennessee Mr. Basketball for Class

A, Hopkins averaged over 33 points per game as a senior and tallied nearly 3,000 career points for

Fayetteville (TN) HS.

WELCOME TO THE FAMILY

Coach Byrd and his staff could not be more excited about the Bruins’ incoming class of freshmen.

Talented and coachable, this group could rival the vaunted Class of 2009 that included Ian Clark, Kerron

Johnson, Trevor Noack and Blake Jenkins. DeAndre “Pedro” Bradshaw, Caleb Hollender, Grayson

Murphy, and Nick Muszynski comprise the Belmont Class of 2017.

TEAM FIRST

Josh Lester and Burton Sampson round out the Belmont roster. Lester was a standout at nearby

Brentwood Academy, while Sampson was a two-time TSWA Division II All-State honoree at the Webb

School in Knoxville. Both have proved capable and could compete for reserve roles. Both have provided

lifts off the bench during their careers.

One of the most successful andrespected coaches in the country,Head Coach Rick Byrd has been amodel of consistency in leadingBelmont's transition from an NAIAinstitution to a perennial headlinerand championship program inNCAA Division I.

Under Byrd, Belmont has reachedpostseason play in 10 of the last 11seasons, including NCAATournament appearances in seven of

the last 11 years. In fact, among all NCAA Division I men’s basketball pro-grams, only Belmont, Gonzaga and Kansas have earned automatic bids tothe NCAA Tournament seven times in the last decade.

All told, Belmont has won 16 conference championships (nine regular sea-son, seven tournament) since 2006 - only Kansas and Gonzaga have wonmore over that span. Unquestionably, Byrd has built a program with stay-ing power.

Belmont has earned national Top 25 poll votes and Top 100 RPI standingeach of the past six seasons, and has victories over the likes of NorthCarolina, Stanford, Marquette, Alabama, Cincinnati and Missouri, amongothers, to its credit.

Despite playing 20 of 32 games away from home, 2015-16 marked thefourth time in as many years Belmont claimed an OVC Championship.Since 2003, no program in America has more conference victories than theBruins (234).

Two-time NCAA field goal percentage champion Evan Bradds and CraigBradshaw were showered with awards, with the duo earning All-Americaand CoSIDA Academic All-America honors.

Annually among the nation's highest scoring and most efficient offensiveteams, Belmont led the country in two-point field goal percentage for thethird time in the last four years.

Byrd ranks sixth among all active NCAA Division I head coaches in careervictories with 752.

Only three head coaches in the nation have been at their respective institu-tions longer than Byrd's 30 years of service at Belmont. Under Byrd's guid-ance, the Bruins have won 259 games and posted a remarkable 179-43(.806) record in conference games over the past 11 years.

In addition, Belmont joined an exclusive fraternity of programs to win fivestraight regular season conference championships. Since the Bruinsbecame an NCAA Division I member institution in 1996-97, only Belmont,Butler, Cincinnati, Duke, Gonzaga, Harvard, Kansas, Nevada and Xavierhave won five straight conference regular season championships.

Named OVC Coach of the Year in 2013 and 2014, and finalist for the HughDurham National Coach of the Year Award for a third time in four seasons,Byrd has been named District or Conference Coach of the Year on 12 occa-sions.

With Belmont’s victory at Austin Peay Jan. 17, 2015, Byrd became the 25thcoach in NCAA Division I college basketball history to reach 700 careervictories. He also joined Mike Krzyzewski, Jim Boeheim, Bob Huggins,Roy Williams, Bo Ryan, and Rick Pitino as one of only seven active NCAADivision I head coaches with 700 or more career victories.

With Belmont's victory over Indiana State Nov. 14, 2013, Byrd passed leg-endary UCLA head coach John Wooden in career victories.

Additionally, Byrd is first among all active NCAA Division I men’s basket-ball head coaches (min. 10 years at school) when ranked by percentage ofschools’ all-time wins; having accounted for over 68 percent of the totalvictories in Belmont history.

In 2012, Byrd received the NCAA Bob Frederick Award for his lifelongcommitment to sportsmanship, ethical conduct, and fair play. Moreover,he received induction into the Tennessee Sports Hall of Fame and theGreater Knoxville Sports Hall of Fame.

Byrd was a voter in the ESPN/USA Today Top 25 Coaches' Poll until 2015-16, and served as NCAA Men’s Basketball Rules Committee Chairmanfrom 2013-15.
