David Lee Holt NKU Hall of Fame
Shields finished his 16-year career on the Norse sideline with a 306-170 record. He led NKU to regional championships in both 1996 and ’97, and the Norse advanced to the NCAA Division II national championship games in each of those seasons. Shields guided NKU to seven 20-win seasons - the most in Norse men’s basketball history - and three GLVC championships. His 1996-97 team won a school-record 30 games en route to national runner-up honors. During that same season, NKU’s Paul Cluxton became the first player in NCAA history to lead the nation in free-throw percentage without missing from the line (94-for-94).
