Misc. Information

Head coach Tom Wood completed his 27th season at Humboldt State in 2007-08. Woods joined the program in 1981-82 after serving as an assistant at Cal Poly-San Luis Obispo for eight seasons. Success for Woods has come late. In the seven years prior to 2001, Woods managed an unimpressive 83-101 mark. Since 2001, Woods has produced a 177-58 (.753) record (helped in part by a change in conferences) averaged 22 wins per season, and made seven NCAA appearances. Woods was a prep star at South Fork HS (Mirada, CA) and played collegiately at UC Davis. In 2007-08, the Lumberjacks went 20-9 but got beat in the first round of the NCAA tourney by Chaminade.
