Last Week
Macalester dropped its first two Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference games of the 2014-15 season as second-half rallies in both games failed to overcome first-half deficits.
 
In Tuesday's 68-58 home loss to St. Olaf, the Scots trailed by as many as 15 points in the second half but chipped away at the Oles' lead, eventually getting to within five at 61-56 when Kilgour hit a three-point basket with one minute 52 seconds to play.
 
However, St. Olaf converted five of six free throws in the final minute to put the game away.
 
Saturday, Macalester suffered a 54-44 loss at Carleton, shooting just 27.5 percent from the floor, including a 1-for-18 performance from three-point range.
 
Despite trailing by 19 with 6:05 to play in the game, the Scots made a run, outscoring their hosts 11-2 down the stretch with Max Horvath scoring five points and Kareem Ismail four in the game's final five minutes.
 
Ismail, who had a game-high 18 points, scored 14 points in 14 minutes in the second half.

He's the Boss
Tim Whittle is in his sixth season at Macalester and owns a 14-115 career record.

Whittle came to Macalester following a successful assistant coaching stint at national-powerhouse Washington University in St. Louis, where he was the top assistant and recruiting coordinator for the two-time NCAA Division III national champions (2008 & 2009). In five seasons he helped guide the Bears to a 112-30 overall record and three consecutive Final Four appearances (2007-09).
 
Prior to his stint with Washington University, Whittle served as an assistant coach for three years (2001-2004) at the University of the South in Sewanee, Tenn., where he was also head men's golf coach and assistant cross country coach.

In 1996, following his graduation from Washington University with a degree in finance and management, he began a four-year career in the banking business for SunTrust Bank in Atlanta, before joining the Florida Marlins. As the manager of finance, he coordinated efforts to fund a $400 million baseball stadium in downtown Miami.

As a player, Whittle was a four-year letter-winner at Washington University, helping the Bears to a 79-27 record and two NCAA playoff appearances, including reaching the 1996 Elite Eight. He received a Master's in Education degree in 2008 from William Woods University in Fulton, Mo.
