 As lead recruiter, Gates quickly assembled the youngest and one of the most talented teams in the Mid-American Conference. While tutoring the Huskie guards, the 2008-09 season was highlighted by sophomore guard Darion "Jake" Anderson earning a spot on the Mid American Conference second-team (NIU's first All-MAC representative since the 2001-02 season) and first-year point guard Mike DiNunno being named to the MAC All-Freshman Team. Following the 2007-08 campaign, Anderson was also voted MAC Freshman of the Year.
 One of the sharpest young minds in basketball, Gates orchestrated the Huskies' offense from the sidelines. Statistically, NIU finished the 2008-09 MAC season ranked second in offensive rebounding (12.7 rpg), third in scoring (66.2 ppg), third in three-point field goal percentage (34.7), fourth in assists (12.4 apg), fifth in three-point field goals made (6.17) and fifth in team field goal percentage (42.2). All were significant improvements from the 2007-08 campaign. The 2008-09 season saw the Huskies go 7-5 at home, their first winning record at the Convocation Center since the 2005-06 season. Overall, NIU's win total increased by four wins from the 2007-08 campaign.
