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.
Dan Boyce is a die-hard Sydney Kings fan who grew up in Melbourne during the roaring 90's of Australian Basketball and spent far too much time collecting Futera NBL Basketball cards.

COLLEGE
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.
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. 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.
As a junior in 1993/94, Feaster averaged 28.0 points per game, which placed him second in the nation behind Purdue's Glenn Robinson. 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 saw him earn his third all-conference selection behind a third consecutive season in which he led Holy Cross in scoring at 25.0 points per game. This mark also ranked him ninth nationally, and for his efforts 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 (in 2012/13, his record would be broken by Lehigh's C.J.McCollum). Despite setting the conference scoring record, he still only ranks second all-time at Holy Cross (Ron Perry scored 2,524 points between 1976–77 and 1979–80).
