From Hall of Honor press release dated June 14, 2003:

In the storied history of the Wittenberg men's basketball program, Steve Iannarino is among the all-time greats. Still the program's leader in career scoring with 1,973 points in 117 games from 1983-87, Iannarino is everywhere in the men's basketball annals. He averaged 16.9 points per game, topped 500 points in a season three times in his four seasons and his HPER Center-record 40 points in a 1987 game against Denison ranks sixth on the school record list for points in a game. Iannarino was a three-time All-OAC honoree, and he still ranks 12th in conference history for points in a career. He was also a two-time second-team All-America selection. Wittenberg compiled a four-year record of 93-27 during Iannarino's career, won one OAC championship and advanced to three NCAA Division III Tournaments, winning two regional titles and finishing third in 1987. Iannarino graduated from Wittenberg in 1987, and he later coached boy's basketball for two years at Bishop McGuinness High School in Winston-Salem, N.C. His teams went to the state Final Four in 1996 and the state tournament quarterfinals in 1997, and Iannarino was named conference coach of the year in 197l. He now is Sr. Customer Advocate for TIAA and resides in Huntersville, N.C., with his wife, Darla.
