The Seattle Redhawks men's basketball team represents Seattle University in NCAA Division I basketball competition. Established in 1946, the team was previously known as the Seattle Chieftains. The program experienced success during the 1950s and 1960s, reaching the NCAA Division I tournament eleven times. Led by Elgin Baylor (the future 1958 number one draft pick), Seattle finished as the runner-up in the 1958 NCAA University Division basketball tournament.
Seattle was a member of NCAA Division I from 1946 to 1980 before budget problems led them to reclassify to NAIA in 1980. They eventually rose to NCAA Division II before rejoining the Division I level in 2008. They are a member of the Western Athletic Conference, which they joined in 2012.[2] They were previously a member of the West Coast Conference (1971–1980).[3] The current head coach is Chris Victor,[4] who was previously the associate head coach.
