Kevin McGeehan, who has been the Associate Head Coach for the last four seasons, has helped guide the Spiders to four 20-win seasons, four postseason appearances and final national rankings of No. 24 in 2009-10 and No. 21 in 2010-11 all in the last five years.

McGeehan's sixth season on the coaching staff at the University of Richmond ended with an Atlantic 10 Championship, second-straight NCAA Tournament bid, Sweet 16 appearance and a second-straight final Top-25 ranking for the Spiders.

Richmond won a school record 26 games in 2009-10, finished 13-3 in Atlantic 10 play, reached the A-10 title game and received an at-large bid as a No. 7 seed in the NCAA Tournament. The Spiders broke that school record for wins in 2010-11 finishing 29-8 and 13-3 in A-10 play, reaching the title game for the second-straight year and coming away with its first A-10 Championship in 10 years in the league.

The Spiders defeated No. 25 ranked Vanderbilt and Morehead State to reach the 2011 Sweet 16. Richmond's recent success has also included a 32-7 record against Atlantic 10 teams in the last two years, tournament victories in the South Padre Island Invitational (wins over Missouri and Mississippi State), the Chicago Invitational Challenge, defeating No. 8 Purdue in the title game, and the Orange Bowl Classic, defeating No. 13 Florida.

The Spiders have eight victories over BCS conference teams in the last two years, including a five in the 2010-11 season. Richmond has won seven of its last 10 games against ranked opponents.

What makes the Spiders' recent success even more impressive is the situation that head coach Chris Mooney and McGeehan inherited when they arrived from Air Force in 2005-06. Not many people would have envisioned an Atlantic 10 title, Sweet 16 and Top-25 rankings when watching Richmond take the court without a guard on scholarship and with a 5-foot-10 true freshman walk-on averaging 15 minutes per game.

That short-handed team mustered a 13-17 season and after a squad of mostly freshmen experienced growing pains in the 2006-07 season, the Spiders' string of four-straight 20-win and postseason appearances began in Mooney and McGeehan's third year in the West End. Mooney and McGeehan started coaching together at Lansdale Catholic High School in the mid 1990's, before moving to Beaver College (now Arcadia College).

When Mooney left Beaver College to go to Air Force, McGeehan took over the head coaching duties for two years before moving to Springfield High School in Erdenheim, Pa., where he was also a guidance counselor. When Mooney became the head coach at Air Force in 2004-05, McGeehan joined him Colorado Springs. He helped lead Air Force to an 18-12 overall record in 2004-05, which marked the second most wins in school history. The Falcons led the entire nation in scoring defense and finished second in the country in fewest turnovers per game in 2004-05.

"Kevin is a terrific coach who excels in all areas of the game," Mooney said of McGeehan. "He is a truly great teacher of the game."

A 1995 graduate of Gettysburg, McGeehan was the captain of the men's basketball team his senior season. He received his bachelor's degree in psychology and then earned a dual master's degree in secondary and higher education and counselling from West Chester in 1999.

In addition to being the head coach at Beaver College and Springfield High School, McGeehan has been director of Summer Basketball Camps for Upper Dublin Township, Springfield Township and Beaver College.

McGeehan and his wife, Melissa, were married in 2004 and have two sons, Jack and Connor, and a daughter Grace.
