Scott Padgett wants his Samford University basketball team to reach new heights by going to the NCAA Tournament every year, just like mid-major Gonzaga. Not just once a lifetime like the Birmingham, Alabama school did in 1999 and 2000, losing in the first round both times.

“We’re all on board to take Samford to the same level as a Butler and Gonzaga, and we have everything that we need to be successful and to get to that point,” said ex-UK standout Padgett last March after signing a new four-year contract extension.

Before becoming the head coach at Samford in 2014, Padgett spent several years as an assistant at Samford, Manhattan College and UK. Padgett, 39, said he came to Samford because of athletics director Martin Newton’s “big dream” vision in developing and helping student-athletes in winning the national and conference championships in all sports.
