e-mail Dave at Dave.Wilson@QueensU.ca	Dave Wilson - Head Coach Wilson continued with Canada Basketball again this past summer - this time as an assistant coach of the U18 National team that competed in Buenos Aires, Argentina. The team captured the Silver Medal, sweeping all South American teams. Their lone loss came at the hands of Team USA. Heading into his 27th season as head coach (28th with the program) Wilson feels that the work done by the players over the summer, under the direction of coaches Tim Orpin and Adam Lynn, will prove invaluable to the development of the team this season. With only 7 returning (active) players and five talented recruits, it will take some time for this team to gel. "While we may be a little slow 'out of the blocks', I believe this team will develop into a solid performing team. A very cohesive group, they are continually developing and understanding their own and each other's strengths,' comments Wilson. In the last 8 years, the team has competed for three OUA East Championships, won two OUA East Division Championships, one OUA Championship, and has made two CIS Championship appearances. Queen's truly is a program that combines the best of both worlds - first rate academics and first rate basketball. Noted for his commitment to his athletes both on and off the court, Wilson feels that it is essential for athletes to know that the entire coaching staff is willing and able to help with matters relating to basketball, school, and life in general. Continuing to improve his coaching credentials, Wilson has accumulated an impressive background in addition to his tenure at Queen's: Assist. Coach, National Jr. Team - Silver Medal, All Americas Championship (Argentina - 2008) Head Coach, World University Games Team - 7th Place finish (Thailand, 2007) Assist. Coach, National Young Women’s Team - Bronze Medal N. American Championship (Mexico 2006) Assistant Coach, National Jr. Team - 9th place finish, World Championship (Tunisia 2005) Assistant Coach, National Jr. Team - Bronze Medal, N.

American Championship (Brazil 2001) Chartered Professional Coach (ChPC) NCCP Level IV Certified Coach National Coaching Institute High Performance Coaching Diploma OUA East Coach of the Year in 1998 & 1993 Wilson's post-secondary education began at West Virginia University before transferring to Queen's to complete a B.A., B.P.H.E., B.Ed. and an M.Ed. As an educator, he believes strongly in the value of a Queen's education, and the ability to combine schoolwork with the rigours of the varsity basketball program. He is extremely proud of the academic success of the players in the program, boasting a 100% graduation rate over his 27 years. Himself a former Gael, Wilson makes his home in Kingston with his wife, Laurel, and son, Tai (17).
	Tim Orpin - Assistant Coach Orpin, an outstanding tactician and motivator, enters his 23rd season with the Gaels.
