Coach Tony Shaver shares his coaching journey from being a Student Assistant with the UNC JV Team while also playing for Dean Smith to becoming the all time winningest coach in the history of Hampden-Sydney as well as William & Mary.

While playing in Chapel Hill, UNC went 95-26, including a pair of trips to the NCAA Tournament in 1975 and 1976. During the 1975 season, the Tar Heels won the ACC Tournament and advanced to the Sweet 16. During the 1973 and 1974 season, UNC made the National Invitational Tournament.

The High Point, NC native talks about coaching at Episcopal HS in Alexandria Virginia and what led him to chase the dream of being a college basketball coach. At Hampden-Sydney College (NCAA DIII) he coached many student athletes who went on to coach basketball (Andy Gray, Ryan Odom, Griff Aldrich, Dee Vick, Russell Turner and lots more) and he wore multiple hats. The three-time ODAC Coach of the Year led them to 358 wins including 207 wins in the ODAC, during his 17 years at the helm. During his tenure they made 11 NCAA Tournament appearances including 7 trips to the Sweet Sixteen and 2 trips to the Final Four. They were the runner up of the 1999 NCAA DIII national championship after suffering a double-overtime 1-point loss to Bo Ryan's University of Wisconsin\u2013Platteville team in the national championship game. 

He left H-S as the all time leader in coaching victories to become the Head Coach at William & Mary. In Williamsburg he was a two-time Colonial Athletic Association Coach of the Year and was twice selected as a finalist for the National Mid-Major Coach of the Year. The Tribe has posted four of its nine 20-win seasons under Coach Shaver.

W&M recorded three-straight 20-win seasons in 2013-14, 2014-15 and 2015-16, marking just the second streak of three years in program history. The Tribe captured the CAA regular season Championship in 2015. Twice, Shaver led the program to berths in the National Invitation Tournament (NIT), only the second and third post season bids in program history. His teams reached 4 CAA tournament championship appearances and even notched victories over ACC programs Wake Forest and Maryland. His win total at William & Mary is more than twice as much as any other coach in the history of the program.

Coach Shaver answers the question about what's next for him as far as coaching basketball is concerned and much more!
