am excited to have Steve join us at Ball State," Thompson

Steve is a great recruiter and is familiar with the region after
working at Valparaiso earlier in his career. His years of
experience in basketball, both as a coach and as a player, will
be invaluable." |

recruited and signed two All-Conference and All-District Players
-- Jason Keep and Brandon Gay -- plus recruited Abdoulaye
N'daiye to San Diego. |
| He
assisted with all facets of the San Diego program with emphasis
on player development, national and international recruiting,
academics and scouting. San Diego captured the West Coast
Conference Championship and advanced to the NCAA Tournament in
2003. |
| From
1995 through 2000, Flint was an assistant to Homer Drew at
Valparaiso University and helped the Crusaders to five
consecutive 20-win seasons, five consecutive Mid-Continent
Tournament Championships and five consecutive NCAA Tournament
appearances, including the 1998 NCAA Sweet 16. He was
