A HOUSE RESOLUTION

TO CONGRATULATE COACH JOHN KRESSE AND THE COLLEGE OF CHARLESTON MEN'S BASKETBALL TEAM FOR AN OUTSTANDING 1993-94 SEASON AND THE GREAT HONOR OF RECEIVING AN AT-LARGE BID TO THE NCAA BASKETBALL TOURNAMENT AND TO WISH THEM THE BEST OF LUCK IN THE TOURNAMENT.

Whereas, the 1993-94 College of Charleston men's basketball team has received an at-large bid to the NCAA Basketball Tournament, a fantastic honor for a very deserving coach and team; and

Whereas, Coach John Kresse led the Cougars to a 19-8 winning season in their third full season as an NCAA member; and

Whereas, the Cougars finished with a sixteen-game winning streak, currently the nation's longest, a 24-3 record and the Trans America Athletic Conference Title; and

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,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:

That the members of the House of Representatives, by this resolution, congratulate Coach John Kresse and the College of Charleston men's basketball team for an outstanding 1993-94 season, its Trans America Athletic Conference title, and for the honor of receiving an at-large bid to the NCAA Basketball Tournament, and further, the members of the House of Representatives wish the College of Charleston Cougars the best of luck in their NCAA Tournament play.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to Alexander M. Sanders, Jr., President of the University of Charleston and to John Kresse, Head Basketball Coach, University of Charleston.
