Whereas, Coach Kresse was TAAC's Coach of the Year with Marion Bushy named the conference's Player of the Year, the only time a first year TAAC team has claimed either honor; and
Whereas, Head Coach Kresse has won 364 games over fifteen seasons at the College of Charleston losing only 98, resulting in a .788 winning percentage; and
Whereas, receiving the at-large invitational bid to the NCAA is an outstanding tribute to the Cougars, to the superior coaching of Coach Kresse and his staff, and to the dedication and hard work of each and every Cougar player; and
Whereas, Coach Kresse, his staff and the Cougar men's basketball team have brought great honor to the College of Charleston and the State of South Carolina and are to be congratulated for their NCAA Tournament bid and for a truly memorable season. Now, therefore,
