Jim Sollars |
With ten years of previous head coaching experience, Jim Sollars was hired in 1986 as the head women's basketball coach at the University of Portland. In his first 11 years at Portland, Sollars also served the university as a history professor. He ended his 31-year teaching career upon announcing his retirement following the 1996-97 academic year.
Despite injuries to key players throughout the season, the 2006-07 Portland Pilots managed a six-win improvement over the previous season, while offering a glimpse into the future with the emergence of a strong freshman class. Portland consistently featured a line-up dominated by underclassmen on its way to a 10-20 overall record and a 2-12 mark in the WCC.
In 2003-04, Sollars led Portland to a fourth-place finish in the WCC with an 8-6 conference record. The Pilots advanced to the semifinals of the WCC Tournament, losing a heartbreaker to top-seed Loyola Marymount 59-54 in overtime.
Sollars recorded his 250th career victory as the Pilot head coach with a 64-62 win over conference rival San Francisco on Feb. 14, 2003. Under Sollars' leadership at Portland, 29 players have earned All-West Coast Conference honors, four players have been named the WCC Player of the Year, and he has coached two Pilots (Laura Sale and Deana Lansing) to honorable mention All-America status. His players also show excellence in the classroom as he has guided 26 WCC All-Academic Team selections, 11 CoSIDA Academic All-District Team picks and one WCC Scholar Athlete of the Year, while two athletes have earned first team CoSida Academic All-America honors.
