Fontbonne and Greenville set a new Division III single-game scoring record on Wednesday night when the Griffins outlasted the Panthers 164-154 in overtime. The 318 points breaks the record of 315 set by Grinnell and Simpson in 1994.

Lance Thornhill, who has been an assistant coach for the Griffins for the past 16 seasons, will finally get a shot as head coach.

Anthony Hall, who just took over as head men's basketball at Fontbonne last year, is moving on.

Both Fontbonne programs have new head basketball coaches this season, but they should be well-known to Griffins fans already.

Fontbonne has named Anthony Hall the school’s new head men’s basketball coach. Hall, currently the associate athletic director for the university, succeeds Steve Schafer.

Steve Schafer, who had been with the Griffins for three seasons, will be starting up a new program at Benedictine in Mesa, Ariz.

Steve Schafer was tabbed to try to fill the shoes of coaching legend Lee McKinney, who passed away earlier in the offseason.

Fontbonne committed major violations in its financial aid process, awarding nearly $50,000 in aid based on high school athletics participation.

McKinney was a two-time cancer survivor but couldn't quite finish the season on the sidelines. He passed away Monday morning.

Lee McKinney, Skip Molitor and Mike Neer will be honored by their Division III coaching brethren at their upcoming convention at the D-I Final Four.

Longtime Fontbonne coach Lee McKinney confirmed what D3hoops.com reported last week: This is his last year coaching.

Two-time cancer survivor Lee McKinney, winner of 518 games and more than 300 at Fontbonne, has been hospitalized. He's been taking chemo treatments throughout the season.

The Fontbonne men's basketball team knocked off Maryville (Mo.) 90-81 on Saturday afternoon to earn Griffin coach Lee McKinney his 500th career collegiate victory.

For Fontbonne head men's coach, Lee McKinney, Oct. 15th could not come fast enough. Along with being the first day of his 41st season, it was also his first day back on campus following a successful battle with lung cancer.
