Neil could do it all on the basketball court.  He had the ability to control the game on the offensive end of the court, where he knew how to score better than anyone ever at the Eisenhower College.  As well as being an offensive threat, Neil could dominate the tempo of the game playing defense.  Neil was a triple threat on defense; he could block shots, grab rebounds and create steals in order to help his team win.  Neil was a true leader, being named captain four consecutive years as well as being named MVP.

Neil is the only player in the history of the Eisenhower College to be named an NAIA All-American.  As well as being an All-American, Neil was an All-Conference Player in the Private College Athletic Conference from 1972 to 1974.  He has had one of the most successful athletic careers in Eisenhower College history and his statistics are among the best in the history of RIT.

Neil would eventually take his basketball knowledge to RIT where he became the assistant coach to Bob McVean’s Men’s varsity team.  Neil has been coaching here at RIT since 1997 and continued to bring his knowledge and love for the game back to RIT each year.
