SIR Bidwell Branch 110 Luncheon September 26, 2022

Basketball

The September program explored some factors which have allowed the Chico State Men’s Basketball Program to have such unprecedented years of success since at least 2014 when they won their first Western Regional Tournament and advanced to the Elite 8 in Division II basketball. Since 2013, only five teams out of over 300 Division II schools have been able to make it to the Elite 8 three or more times. Chico State is one of them. During those recent years no other team in their Conference—the CCAA—has advanced to the Elite 8. How has Chico State been able to pull off such an amazing feat? The initial plan was to have Greg Clink, the current Head Coach, speak but because of a time conflict it was decided to have the current Assistant Coach Cevin Meador provide some insight into this question. This is perhaps even better because the coaching aspect will not be filtered through Coach Clink’s modesty. Cevin is in his second year at Chico and has had coaching experience at several schools including three seasons as an Assistant Coach in our conference at Cal State Monterey Bay.
