What Have They Said About The Colonels?• “Give Eastern Kentucky credit because they kicked us for about 12
to 14 minutes there and we were on our heels offensively. We were turning the ball over and we could not stop them defen-sively.”
-- Roy Williams, North Carolina Head Coach March 15, 2007 after EKU went on a 32-9 run midway through the
game in the first round of the 2007 NCAA Tournament
• “That’s why we scheduled this game. That’s the type of team you could see win a game or two in the NCAA Tournament, a la Florida Gulf Coast. Those are the type of teams you want to play, but you’ve got to win. They certainly made that difficult tonight.”
-- Shaka Smart, Virginia Commonwealth Head Coach Dec. 5, 2013 after EKU lost at VCU by three points in overtime
• “The game matched two teams capable of doing some damage in the NCAA tournament, and they didn’t disappoint in a fun-to-watch, wide-open affair that left both teams drained and VCU pushed to the limit.”
-- Tim Pearrell, Richmond Times-Dispatch Dec. 6, 2013 after EKU lost at VCU by three points in overtime
• “I’m telling you, we’ve got this team on tape, on DVD, and they’re a much better shooting team than this. So you’ve got to give our guys credit for what they did defensively.”
-- Bo Ryan, Wisconsin Head Coach
Dec. 14, 2013 after EKU shot 21.1 percent from three-point range and lost at No. 4 Wisconsin 86-61
• “First off, I think this a good win for our team because that might potentially be an NCAA Tournament team. They are a really good team with terrific guards. They do a really good job of changing defenses to keep teams off balance.”
-- Mark Gottfried, North Carolina State Head Coach Nov. 30, 2013 after EKU had a 10-point first half lead, led by six at
the break and trailed by only three with six minutes to go
• “We obviously feel fortunate because I thought Eastern Kentucky was well prepared. They played great. They played loose and cer-tainly gave us everything we wanted.It was a hard-fought game and one in which we had to work our tail off for 40 minutes to come out with a win.”
-- Bill Self, Kansas Head Coach March 21, 2014 after EKU gave No. 2 seed Kansas all it could
handle in the NCAA Tournament

2015-16 NOTESColonel Basketball
Dan McHale, a former Univer-sity of Louisville assistant, was in-troduced as Eastern Kentucky’s new head coach on April 9, 2015.
“We are ecstatic to welcome Coach Dan McHale and his family to the Colonel Family,” Eastern Ken-tucky University President Michael Benson said. “Dan brings years of experience at some top-flight pro-grams to EKU, along with ties to Kentucky and this region. He came to us with the highest recommenda-tions from some of America’s best coaches and we have every con-fidence he will take our basketball program to the next level.”
Before being chosen as Eastern Kentucky’s 20th head men’s bas-ketball coach, McHale completed his second season as an assistant coach at the University of Minnesota where he worked under head coach Richard Pitino. McHale got his coaching start under Hall of Fame coach Rick Pitino as a staff assistant at Louisville from 2001 to 2003.
“I’m extremely excited to be work-ing at Eastern Kentucky University,” McHale said. “I want to thank Presi-dent Benson and Steve Lochmueller for this opportunity. With the leader-ship of these two, it’s an honor to be a part of these exciting times at EKU. We are going to bring excitement to McBrayer Arena with a fast paced style of play. It’s going to be fun for our players and our fans.”
In his first season at Minnesota, McHale helped the Gophers to a NIT Championship and a 25-13 record that included wins over No. 9 Wis-consin and No. 11 Ohio State. The 25 victories are the second-most in program history. The 2014-15 squad won 18 games, including a victory at Michigan State, a team that would reach the Final Four.
“I am extremely excited and proud of Dan McHale,” Richard Pitino said. “Eastern Kentucky is getting a tre-mendous coach and recruiter, but more importantly a great person. He will represent the Eastern Kentucky program in a first-class manner. There is no doubt in my mind that he will do great things there.”
McHale served as a student manager for four seasons (1997-01) at Kentucky. He was part of one national championship team, four NCAA Tournament teams and three Southeastern Conference champi-onships while working with Tubby Smith’s Wildcats.
The Cardinals went 25-7, won the 2003 Conference USA Tournament title and reached the NCAA Tourna-ment in McHale’s second season as a staff assistant at Louisville. During his first stint he assisted with oppo-nent scouting, game preparation and
on-campus recruiting. After one year as the director of operations at Man-hattan College, McHale returned to UofL for two seasons as the director of video operations, overseeing ad-vance scouting video and evaluation video of Cardinal players. In his sec-ond two-year stint at Louisville, the Cardinals won 45 games and played in two NCAA Tournaments.
“Dan is one of the hardest work-ing coaches in our profession,” Rick Pitino said. “I have great admiration for his dedication to our game. He is a great addition to our state.”
In 2007, McHale joined Kevin Willard’s first staff at Iona College. As an assistant, McHale helped lead the Gaels from two wins the season before the duo arrived to 12 wins their first season and 21 wins in year three at Iona. He recruited NBA draft pick and 2012 MAAC Player of the Year Scott Machado to Iona.
McHale followed Willard to Seton Hall when he was named head coach in 2010. In their second season, the Pirates won 20 games. While at Se-ton Hall, McHale was responsible for the Pirates’ defensive game planning and spearheaded opponent scouting and game preparation.
“Eastern Kentucky has hit a home run with the hiring of Dan McHale, who is a rising star within the coach-ing ranks,” Willard said. “He is not only a terrific recruiter and mentor of student-athletes, but he also has a great mind for the game of basket-ball. Dan has earned the opportu-nity to lead a basketball program, and with his outstanding knowledge, personality and work ethic, he will make a positive impact at Eastern Kentucky.”
McHale will look to add to the success of the Rick Pitino coach-ing tree that includes Billy Donovan (Florida), Tubby Smith (Texas Tech), Mick Cronin (Cincinnati), Richard Pitino (Minnesota) and former EKU head coach Travis Ford (Oklahoma State).
McHale has caught the eye of one of America’s top young college basketball coaches – Memphis head coach Josh Pastner.
“Dan is going to do an outstand-ing job at Eastern Kentucky Univer-sity,” said Pastner. “He is a tireless worker and will do the job with great principle and great work ethic. East-ern Kentucky got a winner in Dan McHale.”
The Chatham, New Jersey na-tive earned a bachelor’s degree in business administration and gradu-ated with honors from UK in 2001. McHale and his wife Jackie have two daughters, Lilly and Molly, and a son, Daniel.
