Now in his 20th year at Grinnell College, Head Coach David Arseneault has become nationally and internationally renowned for his innovative coaching techniques and offensive-minded basketball.

Known for full-court pressing and three-point shooting, his teams have led all playing levels in scoring for 13 of the past 15 seasons, while ranking first in the country in three-point shooting for the 11 of the past 15 years.

In 2003-04, his Pioneers led the country in scoring with a then-NCAA record of 126.2 points per game. During the 2001-02 campaign, the team averaged previous NCAA record marks of 124.9 ppg and 20.4 three-pointers per contest.

A by-product of his high-flying, fast-paced basketball has been increased player participation, enthusiastic home crowds and a virtual assault on the offensive records section compiled by the NCAA Statistics Office.

While on sabbatical in 1996, Arseneault fulfilled numerous coaches' requests by publishing a book entitled, "The Running Game - A Formula for Success" and an instructional video called "Running To Extremes." In 2004, he produced another video, "Running to Win" that describes the evolution of the program's playing style. These instructional tools explain his unique playing and substitution style, which emphasize shooting the ball every 12 seconds and incorporating as many as 16 players per outing.

Arseneault received his Bachelor of Arts in Administrative Science from Colby College (1976) and Master of Education from Brock University (1985). He has been honored as the Midwest Conference Coach of the Year three times (1993-94, 1995-96, 2000-01) and has led the Pioneers to eight post-season appearances and four Midwest Conference Championships (1995-96, 2000-01, 2002-03).

In addition to heading up Grinnell's prestigious men's basketball program, Arseneault has also led the College's women's golf team since 2000.

Arseneault resides in Grinnell along with his wife, Ellie, a third-grade teacher at Davis Elementary School. They have two children - David who is in his fourth year at Grinnell College - and Jennie who is at the University of Virginia.

Boulton begins his second year as an assistant coach for the Pioneers. Boulton is a 1994 graduate of Simpson College where he was a two-year letter winner in basketball for the Storm. He was a member of the 1991-92 squad that qualified for the NCAA Division III Tournament and captained the 1993-94 team.

Boulton began his coaching career as an assistant at Montezuma High School in 1994-95 and then coached at Lynnville-Sully High School during the 1995-96 season, helping the Hawks finish third at the Class 1A State Tournament. He became head coach at Seymour High School in 1996 and held that post until 1998 when he went to Keota, where he coached until 2002 while also serving on the Iowa Basketball Coaches Association Board of Directors. Boulton works for Grinnell College as the assistant director of the Pioneer Fund and resides in Montezuma with his wife, Marie, and their two daughters, Elise (5) and Mia (2). The Boultons are expecting a third child in January. His father-in-law is assistant coach Al Rabenold.
