What is the first thing that comes to mind when someone mentions Gardner-Webb basketball?
If you follow college hoops, chances are you remember the 2007 smackdown of Kentucky in Rupp Arena. Gardner-Webb won by 16 points in Billy Gillispie's second game as UK coach, initiating the chain of events that led to John Calipari taking over in Lexington two short years later.
Something you might not know about Gardner-Webb, the small school from Boiling Springs, N.C.: Chris Holtmann -- yes, that guy -- coached the Runnin' Bulldogs before moving to Butler and then Ohio State. Since Gardner-Webb became a Division I program in 2002, no GWU coach has won more games in a season than Holtmann (21) in 2012-2013.
