He has created an atmosphere in which his players have been successful and he is again giving back to the school that gave him an opportunity in 1976. After three straight 20-win seasons — a first in Bucknell annals — his career record now stands at 317-202 (.611) overall and 222-159 (.583) at Bucknell. Flannery began his coaching career at Bucknell in 1994-95 by guiding the Bison to an 11-3 final league mark and earning Patriot League Coach of the Year honors. He was the first Patriot League coach to earn such honors in his opening season with a program. The award was especially sweet for Flannery, considering the Bison had opened the year 0-8, before winning 13 of their final 19 games to collect a share of the regular season title. In 1995-96, Bucknell was again solid in league play, going 8-4 in Patriot games, and finishing the season with an overall record of 17-11. Included in those 17 wins was one of the school’s biggest victories of all time, when the Bison knocked off Alabama, 72-64, at the Cessna Holiday Classic at Wichita State. Flannery earned Patriot League Coach of the Year honors for the second time in 1996-97, after directing his squad to an 18-11 overall record, a 9-3 league mark and a berth in the league championship game. Non-league victories at Princeton and Air Force, plus a pair of wins over defending PL champ Colgate were but a few of the highlights from that magnificent campaign. Bucknell was one of just four schools (joining California, Indiana and North Carolina) to knock off Princeton in 1996-97. In 1997-98, Bucknell slipped to 13-15 overall, due in large part to a grueling non-league schedule that included games against Iowa, Penn State, Princeton and Pittsburgh. Within the league, the Bison were again solid at 8-4. His 1998-99 team started slowly, but turned it on down the stretch, winning 13 of its last 16 games before falling to Lafayette in the Patriot League championship game, 67-63. The Bison were 9-3 in the PL during the regular season. The 2003-04 squad featured one of the youngest lineups in school history with three PAT FLANNERY’S RESUME PERSONAL Hometown: Pottsville, Pa.

Bucknell eliminated three-time defending PL champion Holy Cross in the opening round of the conference tournament before falling in the semifinals. In the 2005-06 Patriot League Tournament, after knocking out Lafayette and American in the first two rounds at Sojka Pavilion, the Bison won 61-57 at Holy Cross for their first league title of any kind since 1989. They repeated the feat a year later, sweeping Army, American and Holy Cross before sellout crowds at Sojka Pavilion. In addition to his outstanding teams, Flannery has tutored many standout individuals. He has coached a First Team All-Patriot League player in 11 of his first 12 years at Bucknell, and he helped stars J.R. Holden, Bryan Bailey, Boakai Lalugba, Charles Lee, Chris McNaughton and Donald Brown land professional playing opportunities overseas. Lee, a 2006 graduate, signed with the NBA’s San Antonio Spurs and played with the team throughout training camp in 2006. This summer, Holden helped the Russian national team win the EuroBasket championship and qualify for the 2008 Olympics in Beijing. Pat Flannery ranks second to his own former college coach, Flannery is very well respected by Charlie Woollum, on Bucknell’s all-time list of coaching both his players and his peers in the coachvictories. ing profession. He was selected to speak at the National Association of Basketball Coaches annual convention in Seattle, Wash., in 1995, held in conjunction with the NCAA Division I Final Four festivities. His teams have been actively involved in Coaches Versus Cancer, a program sponsored by the NABC and the American Cancer Society which raises money for cancer research, education, and patient services. The Bison, in fact, played in the CVC Classic for the first time in 2005 at Syracuse’s Carrier Dome. Under Flannery, the Bison have played a very active role in the community. The team has volunteered its time to Central Pennsylvania youth basketball organizations, the Donald Heiter Community Center in Lewisburg and the Janet Weis Children’s Hospital at Geisinger Medical Center. In January 2003, Flannery for the second time took his team to his hometown of Pottsville to play at historic Martz Hall. The Bison played Penn there in 1997, and in 2003 hosted Niagara on the floor where Flannery played his prep ball. Dubbed the Kids Classic, the game raised funds for youth basketball in the Pottsville area. Flannery has also taken three Bucknell teams on summer overseas tours. In 1996 Bucknell went to Denmark and Sweden, in 2000 the team visited Italy and Croatia, and in 2005 the squad toured Ireland and England. 2007-08 Bucknell Men’s Basketball • 65 • www.BucknellBison.com The Coaching Staff NATHAN DAVIS MARK PROSSER ASSISTANT COACH FIFTH SEASON ASSISTANT COACH FIFTH SEASON Now in his fifth season at Bucknell and his 10th as a member of the Patriot League coaching ranks, Nathan Davis returns to Pat Flannery’s staff in 2007-08.

VP - Merrill Lynch Consultant - Accenture Senior VP - Penn State-Geisinger Medical Center Head Men’s Basketball Coach - Villanova University JAY WRIGHT HAS WILDCATS THRIVING BISON WELL-REPRESENTED OVERSEAS Under the direction of 1983 Bucknell graduate Jay Wright, the Villanova men’s basketball team has returned to glory as one of the nation’s elite teams. In 2005-06, Wright’s Wildcats won a school-record 28 games, captured the Big East regular-season title, earned the program’s first-ever NCAA Tournament No. 1 seed, and advanced to the Elite Eight. Wright was a three-year letterman in basketball at Bucknell, where he received the Kribbs Award as team MVP in 1981-82 and the Musser Award for leadership in 1982-83. Wright was a freshman at Bucknell when current Bison coach Pat Flannery was a senior, and the two were publicly reunited in December 2005 when Wright brought his fourth-ranked Wildcats to Sojka Pavilion to play in front of the largest crowd in school history. Villanova prevailed, 79-60. Before arriving at Villanova in 2001, Wright was head coach at Hofstra for seven seasons, where he led the Pride to a pair of America East titles. He has also been an assistant coach at Villanova and UNLV. In August 2005 he served as head coach of the gold medal-winning U.S. team at the World University Games in Turkey. Wright was named USA Basketball Co-Developmental Coach of the Year after leading the U.S. to an 8-0 record. While J.R. Holden ‘98 and Charles Lee ‘06 have made the biggest splashes among Bucknell graduates in the professional ranks (see p. 36 for more on Holden’s amazing story), the Bison have sent numerous players overseas to continue their basketball careers. Among them are pair of 2007 graduates who inked pro contracts over the summer. Chris McNaughton and Donald Brown signed with clubs in Spain and Iceland, respectively. Interestingly, one of McNaughton’s first games for his new team — C.B. L’Hospitalet in Barcelona — came against a familiar foe in Holy Cross, which was winding up a summer overseas tour in Spain. McNaughton had 10 points in a victory over the Crusaders. Another 2007 graduate, point guard Abe Badmus, returned to the Nigerian National Team for the FIBA Africa Cup this summer. Badmus started the team’s first two games — a 109-35 rout of Liberia and a 77-54 win over Central African Republic — but suffered an injury and did not compete the rest of the tournament. Former Bison all-stars Boakai Lalugba ‘03 and Bryan Bailey ‘02 are also still active in the European professional ranks. Lalugba will play for Bourg in France this season after previous stops in Sweden and Finland. Bailey played last J.R. Holden season with Artland Dragons Quakenbruek in Germany. 2007-08 Bucknell Men’s Basketball • 70 • www.BucknellBison.com Community & Alumni Relations BISON GIVE BACK TO THE LEWISBURG COMMUNITY Head coach Pat Flannery believes very strongly in lending a helping hand to those less fortunate, and he and his staff have kept the Bison basketball team extremely active in the community over the past decade-plus. Whether it’s visiting sick children at a local hospital, raising money for the September 11 disaster relief fund, or running clinics for local youths, the Bucknell basketball program is proud to return the favor for the fantastic support the Lewisburg community has shown the Bison through the years. The team has made it a tradition to pay a Halloween visit to the Janet Weis Children’s Hospital at the Geisinger Medical Center in Danville, Pa., each fall. The coaching staff and a host of Bison players make the trip to the hospital to lift the spirits of the children they spend time with. For the players, the experience is both eye-opening and gratifying. In addition to the hospital, the Bucknell basketball team spends time with the children at the local elementary and middle schools, and at the Heiter Community Center in Lewisburg. Coach Flannery also invites youth basketball teams from all over the region to come to Sojka Pavilion and “strut their stuff ” for the crowd during halftimes of the Bucknell games. Bison players and coaches have also served Thanksgiving meals at the Heiter Center in recent years. In the wake of the horrific attacks on New York City, Washington, D.C., and Western Pennsylvania, the team sold T-shirts that featured the Bucknell Basketball insiginia and the American flag. In 2008 the Bison will host the Fourth Annual Dirk Sojka Slam Dunk with Bison Basketball, with proceeds benefitting Suncom Industries, where persons with disabilities learn to reach their full potential. Suncom was the workplace of Dirk Sojka, son of Gary and Sandy Sojka, until Dirk’s passing in July 2002. Flannery and his staff also place great emphasis on alumni relations, keeping former Bison players in the Bucknell Basketball family. The annual summer golf tournament is one of several events geared toward alums and supporters of Midnite Mania — always a spirited the program. This past summer, event more than 100 golfers participated in the event. A fall alumni family weekend and an annual alumni game are also regular functions. Last season, the 1986-87 team was honored on the 20th The 1987 team was honored last season on the 20th anniversary anniversary of the program’s of its ECC Championship and first-ever NCAA appearance. first-ever NCAA Tournament appearance. Suncom Industries workers are all smiles at the 2006 “Dirk Sojka Slam Dunk with Bison Basketball.” Competitors prepare for the annual Bison Golf Classic. Coach Pat Flannery makes his farewell speech to summer campers in Sojka Pavilion. Abe Badmus presents Lee Felsburg with the 2007 Backcourt Club Award, given for loyalty and friendship to the program. Josh Linthicum hands out Halloween candy at the Janet Weis Children’s Hospital. San Francisco Giants pitcher Steve Kline and the Bison players sign autographs at a Junior Bison Club party after a home game. 2007-08 Bucknell Men’s Basketball • 71 • www.BucknellBison.com The Backcourt Club Membership as of Oct. 5, 2007.
