Shorter University Athletics

Bill Foster coached the Shorter men's basketball teams to 110 wins against only 33 losses in five seasons, helping to build a strong foundation for Shorter Athletics in the early 1960s.

Foster went on to national prominence as a head coach in the NCAA, coaching Clemson University and Virginia Tech to the NCAA Tournament, and winning the NIT with Virginia Tech in 1995.

Foster was an assistant coach for the USA basketball team at the 1994 Goodwill Games and at his retirement, was one of only 16 coaches to win 500 or more games in his career.
