Shaun Morris, Men's Basketball Associate Head Coach at Quinnipiac University, has been selected to participate in the prestigious 2024 TopConnect Basketball Symposium taking place at the Thomas & Mack Center on the campus of University of Nevada, Las Vegas on Monday, June 10 presented by Teamworks and VanWagner. TopConnect, developed by ETSU Athletic Director Dr. Richard Sander, identifies the top assistant basketball coaches in the country and connects them with mid-major Athletic Directors providing tremendous networking and leadership development opportunities for both parties.
In its seventh year, TopConnect develops educational programming that allows these top assistant coaches to hear from a variety of successful leaders and speakers. The 2024 symposium is headlined by Kristi Dosh of College Sports Solutions and Dan Poneman of Poneman & Naiditch Representation.
Panel discussions include:
Shaun Morris just completed his seventh season with the Bobcats in 2023-24. He was promoted to Associate Head Coach in July of 2023 by Head Coach Tom Pecora.
Morris helped lead Quinnipiac to a record-breaking 2023-24 campaign, as the Bobcats set a new record for total wins (24) and won their first-ever regular season MAAC title. QU's 19-4 start over their first 23 games marked the program's best start to a year since the 1965-66 campaign. Morris helped pioneer a Quinnipiac offense that set a new record for total points (2,630).
The Bobcats went 15-5 in conference play during the regular season under the help of Morris. Quinnipiac won 10 consecutive games from Jan. 5 – Feb. 8. The Bobcats finished the month of January with a 7-0 record, marking the first perfect month in the university's Division I history.
