Under head coach Paul Russo the E&H men's basketball team continues to create excitement and increase excellence on the court. The team brings new energy and talent to its 2008-09 season and is expected to be a significant threat in ODAC competition. The team builds on recent seasons that have included ODAC scoring records and high conference and national rankings in assists, steals and three-pointers. 

The Wasps have appeared in the NCAA National Championship Tournament five times and reached the "Sweet Sixteen" twice. In addition, the program has produced nine All-Americans, three Old Dominion Athletic Conference Players of the Year, and 16 First Team All-Conference players. The coach at that time, Bob Johnson, who now serves as E&H athletic director, has earned regional Coach of the Year honors three times and is a three-time ODAC Coach of the Year. On top of all this, coach Johnson topped off his 2001-02 season with his 300th career victory.

Recent graduate Justin Call earned First Team Academic All-America honors, was named first-team All-ODAC, ODAC Player of the Year, Virginia College State Player of the Year, NCAA South Region Player of the Year and received the Jostens Trophy (National Player of the Year), the highest honor in Division III men's basketball.
