Stan Gouard was one of the best men's basketball players the GLVC has ever seen. He was named National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC) Player of the Year in 1994-95 and 1995-96. He also earned first team All-America honors both of those seasons. He ranks third in scoring (1,619 points) and fifth in rebounding (754 rebounds) on USI's all-time list. Under Gouard's leadership, USI won a pair of GLVC championships (1993-94, 1995-96) and won the Division II national championship in 1994-95. Gouard now serves as an assistant coach at the University of Indianapolis after playing professional basketball in Europe and South America.
