A standout basketball player, coach and athletic director, Fred Schaus impacted athletics at West Virginia University like few others.

As a player, Schaus became one of the first WVU cagers to score 1,000 career points (1,009). As a coach he led the Mountaineers to unprecedented success, reaching the NCAA finals in 1959, and as an athletic director, he helped rejuvenate an athletic program that had fallen on hard times in the late 1970s.
