NBL EXPERIENCE
Rob Feaster made his NBL debut with the Perth Wildcats at 28 years of age. He scored 13 points in his first game.
Feaster battled through leg injuries during his second season in Perth and at the end of the 2002/03 season he was offered a contract to return, but at a 30 percent pay cut. He chose to sign a larger, two-season deal with the Giants for the 2003/04 season, becoming the focal point on offence.
“We see him as our franchise player,” said Giants chief executive Rod Hind after signing Feaster.
Rob Feaster played three seasons in the NBL, playing for both the Perth Wildcats and the Victoria Giants. He averaged 19 points, 6.5 rebounds, and 2.7 assists in 84 NBL games.

In 1991–92, Holy Cross finished 18–11 overall and reached the Patriot League tournament semifinals under head coach George Blaney.
Feaster’s college career at Holy Cross began in 1991/92.
In 29 games, he averaged 8.0 points and 3.2 rebounds, and was named the Patriot League Rookie of the Year.
He followed that campaign with a sophomore season in which the Crusaders placed second in the conference regular season, won the Patriot League Tournament, and earned a berth in the 1993 NCAA Tournament.
In 1992–93, Holy Cross went 23–7 overall (12–2 Patriot League) under head coach George Blaney, won the Patriot League tournament to earn the conference’s automatic NCAA Tournament bid, and lost to Arkansas 94–64 in the first round as a No. 13 seed in the East region.
Feaster led the team in scoring at 17.7 points per game for the season and was also named the conference tournament's most valuable player.
He totaled 532 points across 30 games (17.7 points per game) in 1992–93, and he recorded 57 steals that season.
It was Holy Cross' first NCAA Tournament appearance since the 1979–80 season, and with a 24–7 record, just their third 20-win season since then as well.
In the 1993 Patriot League tournament run, he earned Tournament MVP honors after scoring 66 points and collecting nine steals across three games as Holy Cross defeated Army, Fordham, and Bucknell to win the title and reach the NCAA Tournament.
As a junior in 1993/94, Holy Cross finished 14–14 overall (9–5 in conference) and reached the Patriot League tournament semifinals, with Feaster serving as a team captain alongside John Young.
Feaster averaged 28.0 points per game in 1993–94, which placed him second in the nation behind Purdue's Glenn Robinson, and his 28.0 scoring average is listed as the second-best in Holy Cross history.
He totaled 785 points across 28 games in 1993–94 (28.0 points per game).
On February 19, 1994, Feaster scored a Hart Center record-tying 46 points against Navy.
On March 5, 1994, he scored a then–Patriot League Tournament record 43 points in a semifinal loss to Navy, and he scored 30 or more points 13 times during the 1993–94 season.
Despite the prolific scoring, the Crusaders only finished with a 14–14 record.
He was selected to the All-Patriot League team for the second straight year.
Feaster's final season in 1994/95 came with Holy Cross finishing 15–12 overall (9–5 in conference) and reaching the Patriot League tournament quarterfinals under head coach Bill Raynor, with Feaster again serving as a team captain (alongside Gordon Hamilton).
He earned his third all-conference selection behind a third consecutive season in which he led Holy Cross in scoring at 25.0 points per game.
He totaled 674 points across 27 games in 1994–95 (25.0 points per game) and led the team in rebounding with 186 total rebounds (6.9 per game).
This 25.0 scoring mark ranked ninth nationally in 1994–95, and he was named the Patriot League Player of the Year.
When Feaster finished his college career, he had scored a then-Patriot League record 2,224 points, and he ranks second all-time at Holy Cross behind Ron Perry (2,524).
