With all but one regular player returning from a season ago when the Texas A&M-Corpus Christi men’s basketball team finished 18-15 – doubling its win total from the prior campaign, the 2009-10 season promises to be one of excitement for third-year head coach Perry Clark and his Islanders.

The Islanders return 87.6% of their scoring, nearly 94% of their re-bounding, 90.4% of their assists and 84.3% of their steals. After returning no players with more than a year of college experience a season ago, this year’s team returns 12 letterwin-ners including seven who started 16-or-more games for A&M-Corpus Christi in 2008-09.

“I thought our team really grew and progressed for the better through-out the course of the season,” said Clark. “The players developed a hunger and an excitement as the season progressed. I anticipate us building on that success and their

continued hunger this season.”Leading the Islander returnees is

senior Kevin Palmer who started all 33 games a season ago. Palmer was named last year’s Southland Con-ference Newcomer of the Year after leading the league in with 18.2 points a game overall and 19.2 against league opponents. The 6-6 guard became only the second Islander

to score 500 points in a season end-ing with 599. He distrib-uted the ball as well fin-ishing with 2.8 assists per game and a team-best 94.

P a l m e r also set an Islander sin-gle-season record in steals with 86. He fin-ished sec-ond in the conference and 11th in the na-tion in Divi-sion I with 2.6 thefts a game. The senior was second on

the team with 5.2 rebounds per out-ing.

Behind Palmer, A&M-Corpus Christi had a balanced scoring at-tack with six players averaging be-tween 6.2 and 8.2 points a game. Five of those players return with only Tim Green – last year’s sixth man – not back for another season after completing his eligibility.

Junior forward Demond Watt is the second-leading returning scorer after finishing with 8.2 p.p.g. He led the Islanders with 6.4 rebounds and 1.3 blocks per game.

Justin Reynolds netted 8.1 p.p.g. and was third with 4.7 rebounds. The 6-8 junior earned honorable mention All-SLC honors. Seven-foot senior center Filip Toncinic returns for his final season. The Croatian averaged a career-best 6.2 points with 4.4 boards an outing.

Junior Horace Bond is another key player and is back for a third

experienCed, BalanCed islanders “The players devel-

oped a hunger and an exciTemenT as The season progressed. i anTicipaTe us building on ThaT success and Their conTinued hun-ger This season.”

season. The 6-8 wing started all 33 games averaging 4.6 points and 4.2 boards. Bond typically draws the toughest defensive assignment.

Two second-year athletes add depth. Sophomore center Jawan Nelson is back for the Islanders in the paint and at 6-9, 290 pounds should improve upon his rookie numbers of 4.1 points and 1.8 boards a game.

The final returning forward is Mar-cus Hammonds, who provides ath-leticism on the wing. Hammonds av-eraged 2.1 points and 1.9 rebounds a contest.

Palmer is not the only returnee in the backcourt. Also back for their final seasons at guard with Palmer are seniors Shamar Coombs and LaMarr Drake.

Coombs missed the first semester for A&M-Corpus Christi but came back to average 8.1 points a contest over the final 23 games and 8.8 a game. He also dished out 2.4 as-

sists, which was third. Drake, who missed the second

half of the year, started the first 16 games tallying 6.6 points a con-test and averaged a team-best 3.2 assists per game. Junior Antonio Topps was hampered by an injury a season ago, but provides a long-range threat in the backcourt.

A pair of newcomers will provide depth in the backcourt for A&M-Corpus Christi. Terence Jones, who missed last season because of eli-gibility issues, is expected to make an immediate impact. The 6-2 guard will help ease the loss of Green from the backcourt after practicing with the team a season ago.

Michael Bables is a 6-1 combo guard who will get the opportunity ease into the college game thanks to the Islander experience.

The Islanders will ready them-selves for a succesful run through the conference by facing a tough non-conference slate. Prior to South-land play, the Islanders will face teams from the PAC 10, Big 12, SEC, Confer-ence USA, and ACC, as well as p e r e n n i a l m i d - m a j o r power Kent State. Includ-ing reigning SLC Cham-pion Ste-phen F. Aus-tin, Clark’s squad will tackle five teams that reached the postseason a year ago.

The Island-ers open the season at the Duel in the Desert in Lubbock

for three games including contests against Oregon State of the Pac 10 and host Texas Tech. The Islanders will also make trips to BCS foes Ole Miss, Houston, Texas, and Florida State.

“I think the schedule we have put together is challenging,” said Clark. “We are moving towards where we want to go (with the schedule) by playing great in-state rivals like Tex-as, Texas Tech and Houston.

“We have a challenging preseason to get us ready for what we think will be a very competitive conference race.”

2009-10 Texas a&M-Corpus ChrisTi BaskeTBall Media Guide • 7

Veteran college coach Perry Clark enters his third season as the Texas A&M-Corpus Christi head coach and is just the second coach in the program’s history. Clark took over the program after Ronnie Arrow, who built the program from the ground up departed after leading the Islanders to the NCAA Tournament in 2006-07.

Clark has over 29 years of collegiate coaching experi-ence, including 15 as head coach at both Tulane University and the University of Miami (Fla.). As a head coach, Clark has a 277-234 record including seven 20-win seasons and nine postseason appearances. He is entering his 17th sea-son as a head coach this season.

Not only has Clark served as head coach as well as assis-tant and associate head coach positions, he spent the three years prior to coming to the Coastal Bend as a television and radio personality for Fox Sports Network, as well as an analyst for ESPN.

In his first season with the Islanders, Clark helped coach Chris Daniels to a third-team All-Southland Conference selection as he became the all-time leading scorer. Justin Reynolds had one of the top seasons by a freshman under Clark’s guidance. Two players off his first team are continu-ing their careers. Daniels is playing internationally, while Will Bullard is a member of the Harlem Globetrotters.

As in his first two stops, Clark again exhibited his ability to quickly rebuild a program. Having increased the victories total in his second seasons at Tulane and Miami by 19 com-bined, the coach did it last year doubling the Islander win total. After nine wins in his first season in the Coastal Bend, his charges won 18 last year including the program’s first-ever win over a Southeastern Conference team in overtime at Georgia. He mentored Kevin Palmer to the Southland Conference Newcomer of the Year honors and to the league scoring crown.

The Hyattsville, Md. native has been part of building some of the nation’s top programs including his remarkable re-building job at Tulane, as well as Miami.

Clark was hired by Tulane on July 16, 1988 and immedi-ately set forth on rebuilding a program that had been dis-mantled following NCAA sanctions. But Clark did more than just rebuild the Tulane program, he brought it into the na-tional spotlight.

In 11 seasons at Tulane, Clark compiled a 185-145 (.561) record, had six 20-win seasons, seven postseason appear-ances (3 NCAA, 4 NIT) and won the Metro Conference

championship in 1992. He was the 1992 National Coach of the Year and a two-time Metro Conference Coach of the Year (1991, 1992). Clark was inducted into the Tulane Hall of Fame this fall after being inducted into the Louisiana Hall of Fame during the 2008 season.

After going 4-24 in the 1989-90 season, Tulane was 15-13 the next year and Clark was named the Metro Confer-ence coach of the year. In 1991-92, Tulane would remain ranked for 11 consecutive weeks en route to a 22-9 season, its first Metro title, a trip to the NCAA Tournament and a first-round win over St. John’s.

Clark and staff followed up the next season signing one of the nation’s top recruiting classes. In 1993-94, despite half the team’s scoring and rebounding production coming from freshmen, Clark and the Green Wave were in postseason play again, reaching the second round of the NIT.

In 1995, Tulane was back in the NCAA Tournament, win-ning another first-round game and posting the second-most victories in school history (23). The next season, the Wave made its deepest run ever in postseason, reaching the NIT Final Four and finishing 22-10. The postseason and 20-win streaks continued in 1996-97.

He took over the program at Miami in 2000 and spent four seasons with the Hurricanes where he led them to a 65-54 record. In his first three seasons with the program, he accumulated 51 wins, the most by a Hurricane coach and became the only Miami coach to take the Hurricanes to the postseason in each of his first two seasons.

Clark’s 2001-02 Hurricane squad finished 24-8 and re-ceived the school’s fourth NCAA Tournament berth and set a school record for wins in a season. Included in the 24 wins were a school-record 14 consecutive victories to open the season. His Hurricanes were not ranked in the preseason, but were ranked for the final 13 weeks of the season. Miami ended the year ranked No. 21 by the Associated Press.

Success has also followed Clark’s players, particularly in the early stages of their careers. In his stints at Georgia Tech and Tulane, Clark went a phenomenal eight for nine, from 1983 to 1992, in helping produce the conference’s top rookie, including a Metro record three in a row at Tulane.

At Tech, it was Mark Price (1983), Bruce Dalrymple (1984), Duane Ferrell (1985), Tom Hammonds (1986) and Dennis Scott (1988). At Tulane, Anthony Reed (1990), Kim Lewis (1991) and Pointer Williams (1992) claimed consecu-tive Metro Conference Freshman of the Year honors.

Clark also has coached 17 players who were drafted or have gone play in the NBA. Twelve of those draft-ees have gone in the first of second rounds including 2002 selection John Salmons who taken with the 26th pick of the first round by the San Antonio Spurs, and James Jones who a sec-ond round selection by the Indiana Pacers in the 2003 NBA Draft.

Other NBA draftees include An-thony Reed and Jerald Honeycutt at Tulane, Frank Brickowski from Penn State, and Dalrymple, Ferrell, Ham-monds, Yvon Joseph, Craig Neal, Brian Oliver, Price, John Salley, and Scott from Tech.

Before he became a head coach, Clark was the associate head coach at Georgia Tech from 1986-88 and an assistant for the Yellow Jackets from 1982-86 under Bobby Cremins. He also served as assistant coach at Penn State from 1978-1982 and started his coaching career at legend-ary DeMatha Catholic High School in Maryland as an assistant coach under legendary prep coach Morgan Woot-ten.

Former South Carolina State and Tennessee State head coach Cy Alexander was named associate head coach this past summer by A&M-Corpus Christi head coach Perry Clark.

“To have a coach the caliber of Cy Alexander to join our staff says a lot about our program,” said Clark. “He brings a tremendous amount of experience to the team and is a proven winner.

“Cy also brings new energy and a passion for the game. His work ethic on the court and as a recruiter is second to none.”

Alexander, who most recently served as the head coach at Tennessee State University, has 24 years of head coaching experience and has a career record of 344-306.

In six seasons with the Tigers, Alexander led the team to a 67-107 mark. He capped the 2007-08 season by leading the Tigers to the Ohio Valley Conference Tour-nament Championship game in 2008. It was the first time the Tigers had reached the OVC tournament finals since 1998.

Prior to taking over the Tiger program, Alexander spent 16 seasons at South Carolina State University. In Orangeburg, S.C., he led the Bulldogs to five sea-sons of 20-plus wins. During his tenure, Alexander directed the Bulldogs to five NCAA Tournaments and five Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference championships. He posted a 277-202 won-loss record, making him the winningest coach in MEAC and South Carolina State University history.

Under Alexander, South Carolina State finished ei-ther first or second in the MEAC in all but one of his final 12 seasons. The Bulldog program was named the American Sports Wire Black College National Champi-ons three times (1996, 1998, and 2000) under Alexan-der’s guidance.

“I am really excited about the chance to join the pro-gram,” said Alexander. “I am extremely appreciative of the opportunity that Coach Clark has given to me.

“I believe this program is ready to take the next step and I am ready to work hard to help them get there.”

Assistant coach Brian Merritt is in his third season with Texas A&M-Corpus Christi. He handles many of the day-to-day activities of the Islander program including working with the team’s post players, recruiting, han-dling community relations and managing the supporrt staff.

Merritt, a native of St. Mary’s County, Md., came to the Coastal Bend from Hampton University. At the MEAC school, he worked with guards as well as co-ordinated all recruiting efforts. In his time at Hampton, he recruited Rookie-of-the-Year Michael Freeman, All-Rookie Matt Pilgrim whom later transferred to Kentucky and then Oklahoma State, as well as Vincent Simpson who was named second-team All MEAC last year as a junior. Off the court, Merritt helped facilitate an aca-demic support program that helped earn a 2.74 team grade-point average, which was the highest in the past 10 years at Hampton.

Prior to his time at Hampton, he spent three years at the University of Louisville where he served as the Director of Basketball Operations and assisted in op-ponent scouting under head coach Rick Pitino. Mer-ritt also broke down film and assisted in on-campus recruiting. While at Louisville, he assisted in helping land three, Top 20 recruiting classes, which included 2009 first round picks Terrence Williams and Earl Clark. The players in those classes propelled the Cardinals to back-to-back Elite Eight finishes.

“Although he is a young coach, he has a wealth of experience having been at Louisville for three years under Rick Pitino, who is one of the top coaches in the country,” said Islander head coach Perry Clark.

“He knows the ins and outs of recruiting and I think he is an asset to the program.”

Merritt played two seasons of basketball in college. He played his first season at Butler (Pa.) Community College. His second season was at NCAA Division I Towson (Md.) University. He earned a Bachelor of Sci-ence degree in sports management in 2003 from the America East Conference program.

Kevin Norris — a former star guard at the Univeristy of Miami, who spent several years playing in various international pro leagues, is entering his third year as a member of Perry Clark’s coaching staff.

On the court, Norris primarily works with the guards and assists in the scouting of opponents. Off the court, the former Hurricane is responsible for the Islanders strength and conditioning and plays a key role in re-cruiting.

Before coming to the Island, Norris served as an as-sistant coach at Tallahassee Community College. Prior to his time at Tallahassee, Norris played basketball at Miami under current Florida State University basketball coach Leonard Hamilton.

At Miami, Norris, a four-year letterman, was named to the Big East All-Rookie Team as a freshman. Later that season, he led UM to its first postseason appear-ance in 31 years with a National Invitation Tournament contest at Penn State.

Prior to his junior season, Norris was named an as-sistant captain for the Hurricanes. As a junior, he hit a pair of free throws with eight-tenths of a second re-maining to give Miami a 61-59 upset win over ninth-ranked Villanova. The victory was the Hurricanes’ first road win over a ranked opponent. As a senior, he led the Hurricanes to their first NCAA appearance since 1960 as a No.-11 seed. He currently holds the school record for steals with 208 and is second all-time in as-sists with 493.

He is the only player in Miami Hurricane history to lead the team in assists four consecutive seasons. He was in the starting lineup each game during his final three seasons on his way to a record 108 consecutive games started. At the time he joined the Islander coaching staff he was among the Hurricanes’ all-time leaders in three-point field goals made (6th-134), three-point field goals attempted (4th-407), and games played (9th-113).

Following his collegiate career, Norris played profes-sionally overseas in Italy, France, and the Czech Re-public, as well as in Canada with the Calgary Drillers of the American Basketball Association.

In an era of considerable change in inter-collegiate athletics, the Southland Confer-ence continues to be a model of innovation, stability and consistent achievement as it cel-ebrates the academic and athletic accom-plishments of its member institutions.

What began as a small gathering of col-lege administrators more than 45 years ago, the Southland Conference has transformed it-self into a dynamic and respected consortium of 12 member universities in three states. Be-ginning with a historic meeting of five institu-tions in Dallas on March 15, 1963, that includ-ed current members Lamar University (then Lamar State College of Technology) and the UT Arlington (then Arlington State College), the Southland Conference set on an extraor-dinary course that has proven successful well into its fifth decade of existence.

On July 1, 2006, the Southland Confer-ence commemorated another milestone as the league membership reached 12, marking the largest configuration ever for the organiza-tion. The addition of the University of Central Arkansas and Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi expanded the Southland into the Little Rock metro area and into the eighth largest city in Texas. Central Arkansas and A&M-Cor-pus Christi enhanced the Southland Confer-ence in innumerable ways, including athletic and academic successes, strong and princi-pled leadership, and strong fan support and media coverage.

In addition to its two newest members, the Southland Conference lineup also consists of Lamar University, McNeese State University, Nicholls University, Northwestern State Uni-versity, Sam Houston State University, South-eastern Louisiana University, Stephen F. Aus-tin State University, the UT Arlington, UTSA, and Texas State University.

All told, the revised membership of the Southland encompasses more than 180,000 current students and an alumni base of ap-proximately 920,000. Famous alums from Southland Conference schools include former President Lyndon B. Johnson (Texas State), former CBS news anchor Dan Rather (Sam Houston State), retired U.S. Central Com-mand General Tommy Franks (UT Arlington), NBA executive Joe Dumars (McNeese State), ABC news anchor Robin Roberts (Southeast-ern Louisiana), country music star George Strait (Texas State), Major League Baseball stars Hunter Pence (UT Arlington), Kevin Mil-lar (Lamar) and Ben Broussard (McNeese State), NBA legend Scottie Pippen (Central Arkansas) and actor Lou Diamond Phillips (UT Arlington).

The cities of the Southland are diverse and progressive, ranging from international busi-ness and cultural centers such as the Dal-las/Fort Worth metroplex, San Antonio and

the New Orleans area, to the historical cit-ies of Nacogdoches, Texas, and Natchi-toches, La., to the home of the modern oil boom, Beaumont, Texas, to the unique Cajun French cultures found in the Louisiana cities of Thibodaux and Lake Charles. Southland Conference institutions also draw large num-bers of students from the metropolitan areas of Houston, Little Rock, Baton Rouge, Austin, and Shreveport.

The Southland sponsors 17 championship sports, all at the NCAA Division I level. The eight men’s sports include baseball, basket-ball, cross country, football, golf, tennis, and indoor and outdoor track & field. The wom-en compete for nine championships in bas-ketball, cross country, golf, soccer, softball, tennis, indoor and outdoor track & field, and volleyball. The Conference earns automatic qualification to NCAA championships in base-ball, men’s and women’s basketball, men’s and women’s cross country, football, men’s and women’s golf, women’s soccer, softball, men’s and women’s tennis, and volleyball.

Southland Conference football ranks among the best Football Championship Sub-division (FCS) leagues in the nation, and en-joys an annual expectation of competing for the national championship with multiple teams advancing to the NCAA playoffs each year. In 2002 and 2003, McNeese State finished the regular season ranked No. 1 in the nation, and advanced to the 2002 national champion-ship contest, the sixth such title game appear-ance since the league joined FCS in 1982.

The Conference can lay claim to five na-tional championships, including College Divi-sion championships through former members Arkansas State (1970, UPI) and Louisiana Tech (1972, National Football Foundation).

Louisiana Tech also won the first-ever NCAA-sanctioned national title, winning the Division II playoffs in 1973. Tech followed that with the UPI’s Division II national championship in 1974. Louisiana-Monroe won the 1987 FCS national title.

McNeese State, which has made 13 ap-pearances in the national playoffs, played in the 1997 and 2002 NCAA Division I FCS na-tional championship games, while Stephen F. Austin played in the 1989 title game and has four playoff appearances. Northwestern State has played in the playoffs six times, and ad-vanced to the semifinals in 1998, while Sam Houston State has earned four trips to the postseason, including the semifinals in 2004. Nicholls has participated three times in the playoffs. Last season, Texas State made its second postseason appearance in four years.

The Southland has produced 152 first-team football All-Americans during its history, and has sent such talent to the professional ranks including Oakland’s Keith Davis (Sam Houston State), Carolina’s Josh McCown (Sam Houston State), Buffalo’s Terrence Mc-Gee (Northwestern State), Kansas City’s B.J. Sams (McNeese State), Detroit’s Kevin Smith (McNeese State), Minnesota’s Fred Evans (Texas State), Tennessee’s Jacob Ford (Cen-tral Arkansas), and Oakland’s Luke Lawton (McNeese State).

In the 2009 NFL Draft, the league saw four players taken, the most among FCS confer-ences and the most since five were selected in the 2002 NFL Draft. The league had two players selected in each of the three previous drafts and has seen 21 players taken in the NFL Draft since 2000.

Among the former NFL stars from the Southland include Fred Dean, who was in-

ducted to the Professional Football Hall of Fame in 2008 to become the first former Southland Conference player to earn induc-tion in Canton. Other great NFL players from the Southland include Super Bowl XXIX quar-terback Stan Humphries, Bill Bergey, Fred Barnett, Roger Carr, Marvin Upshaw, Larry Centers, Kavika Pittman, Mike Barber, Bruce Collie, Tim McKyer, Pat Tilley, Jackie Har-ris, Eugene Seale, Bubby Brister, Billy Ryck-man, Rafael Septien, Buford Jordan, Marcus Spears, Terrance Shaw, and Ray Brown.

In addition to football, the Southland Con-ference can point to a number of accomplish-ments in all sports.

Men’s basketball has experienced a tre-mendous amount of success during the Southland’s 45-plus years. The league has sent two teams to the NCAA Sweet Sixteen, as well as a squad to the NIT Final Four. Bas-ketball stars Karl Malone, Joe Dumars, Jeff Foster, Dwight “Bo” Lamar, Andrew Toney, Devin Brown, and Mike Oliver played in the conference. In 2006, Northwestern State, playing as the No. 14 seed in the NCAA Tour-nament, defeated No. 3 seed Iowa, 64-63, in first-round action. In 2008, the league saw two postseason teams (UT Arlington in the NCAA Tournament and Stephen F. Austin in the NIT) for the first time since 2001.

In women’s basketball, the Southland also has its share of tradition with Louisiana-Mon-roe advancing to the 1985 NCAA Women’s Fi-nal Four, and Stephen F. Austin sustaining it-self as one of the most successful programs in the history of the sport. In 2008, the Lady-jacks became the sixth program in NCAA Di-vision I history to record more than 800 wins, joining Tennessee, Louisiana Tech, Old Do-minion, Texas and James Madison.

For three consecutive seasons (2007-09) the Southland has sent two teams to the post-season as UT Arlington made its second ap-pearance in the NCAA tournament in 2007 and UTSA saw its first action in the big dance in 2008 and made a return trip in 2009. A Southland team has played in the WNIT nine times, including each of the last three years. .

Baseball has emerged as a huge Southland Conference strength with the league earning numerous national rankings and NCAA Tour-nament berths. The Southland consistently ranks among the top-10 conferences in the country. Major leaguers such as Ben Sheets, the league’s highest draft pick (10th in 1999 by the Milwaukee Brewers), Micah Hoff-pauir, Hunter Pence, David Segui, Brian Law-rence, Ben Broussard, Chuck Finley, Jerald Clark, and Terry Matthews once played in the league. Former UT Arlington shortstop, Trey Hillman, a three-time All-Southland selection from 1983-85, was named the manager for the Kansas City Royals following the 2007 season and coached the American League in the MLB All-Star Game this past July.

Southeastern Louisiana pitcher Wade Mi-

ley was the 43rd overall selection in the 2008 Major League Baseball First-Year Player Draft to become the 11th-highest player selected in league history. In 2005, McNeese State pitch-er Jacob Marceaux was a first-round pick by the Florida Marlins, becoming the sixth South-land player taken in the first round.

Softball continues to enjoy success on a national level, as the league has knocked off at least one nationally ranked opponent since 1995, including a win by McNeese State over 19th-ranked LSU in 2009. In the 2003 NCAA Tournament, UT Arlington and Texas State enjoyed unprecedented success as each won two games in the national event. The league has also won at least one game in the NCAA tournament in three of the past five years. Texas State shut out No. 12 Northwestern in the opening game of the 2009 NCAA Tourna-ment.

The Southland has a proud history in vol-leyball as UT Arlington has represented the conference eight times in the NCAA tourna-ment, advancing all the way to the NCAA Vol-leyball Final Four in 1989. In 2006, Stephen F. Austin moved to the second round following an opening-round win against Alabama.

Track & field has also served as a proud asset for the conference as the league has produced numerous national champions and Olympic medalists. The Southland boasts 27 men and three women student-athletes who have won NCAA track and field national cham-pionships, including A&M-Corpus Christi’s Shadrack Songok (10,000-meter run) in 2007 and 2008 and McNeese State’s Brad Gebau-er (pole vault) in 2007. The league has also produced U.S. Olympic track & field medalists Earl Bell, Thomas Hill, Al Joyner and Charles Austin, Liudmila Litvinova, along with oth-er Olympians. With the addition of five more All-American sea-sons in 2009, the league continues to find nation-al success in both indoor and outdoor track and field. In the indoor circuit, the Southland boasts 58 unique all-time All-Americans that have won a combined 10 national champion-ships. Likewise in the spring outdoor season, the league has seen 132 different All-Americans, includ-ing 105 men and 27 women, combine to win 20 national titles.

Golf has traditionally been a strong Southland sport as exemplified by La-mar men’s golfer Chris Stroud, who finished third individually at the 2003 NCAA National Championship and is a current member of the PGA Tour. The league has sent multiple teams into postseason play on numerous occasions,

including each of the last two seasons with both Lamar and UT Arlington qualifying for a regional.

The conference has increased sponsor-ship and championships opportunities for fe-male student-athletes in recent years, adding women’s golf and soccer as league sports. In 2007, Stephen F. Austin became the first Southland team to score a goal in the NCAA tournament, while Texas State became the first women’s golf program to compete in the NCAA tournament.

The Southland Conference has repeated-ly demonstrated its commitment to the aca-demic and athletic success of its student-ath-letes. With the F.L. McDonald Postgraduate Scholarship Award, the league annually hon-ors one male and one female scholar-ath-lete with a stipend for postgraduate study. The Scholar-Athlete Award is given to each institution’s male and female student-athlete with the highest grade-point average. Also, student-athletes with grade-point averages above 3.0 are honored on the Southland’s an-nual All-Academic teams and Commissioner’s Honor Roll.

In addition to providing expanding opportu-nities for student-athletes, the Southland Con-ference and its member institutions are very involved in various community outreach pro-grams. Many of these programs provide pos-itive life skills training such as academics, citizenship and leadership to school-aged stu-dents in Southland communities. The Steve McCarty Citizenship Award, initiated in 2005-06 and named after the former Stephen F. Austin athletic director, properly recognizes accomplishments off the court for a male and female student-athlete.

texas a&m-CorPus Christi......athletiC training

Along with starting a new intercolle-giate athletic program from ground zero, Texas A&M-Corpus Christi began building its athletic training program during the 1999-2000 campaign to help care for the student-athlete. Under the direction of Jerry Hilker, the Director of Athletic Training, assistant athletic trainers Julie Ellena, Dan Huffman, and graduate assistants Elissa Jaime, Liz Laird and Tracey Oakes, Island-ers receive the best care in the prevention and rehabilitation of injuries. Support is provided by a handful of team doctors and student athletic trainers enrolled in the athletic training program.

The athletic training facility will be moving into Island Hall in May of 2010 providing state-of-the-art 3,500-sq. feet of space, a Hydroworks hydrotherapy pool, increased office space and numerous other amenities for the care of student athletes.

texas a&m-CorPus Christi......President flavius killebrew

Dr. Flavius C. Killebrew became the tenth President of Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi on January 6, 2005, appointed by The Texas A&M University System Board of Regents.

Dr. Killebrew came to the University from Can-yon, where he was Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs at West Texas A&M University (WTAMU). He was born and raised in the Texas Pan-handle town of Canadian, where he worked the fam-ily ranch alongside his father and three brothers. He earned bachelor’s degrees from WTAMU in 1971 and a year later was awarded his master’s degree.

In 1976, Dr. Killebrew received a doctorate in zool-ogy from the University of Arkansas. That same year he returned to WTAMU as a Professor of biology and moved through the faculty ranks, achieving ten-ured professor rank in 1988. He was named Director of the Graduate School, a title that changed to Dean of the Graduate School and Research in 1991. He was appointed interim Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs in 1994 and the following year, the appointment was made permanent.

The author of more than 60 journal articles, Dr. Kil-lebrew is still an avid researcher and frequent pre-senter at conferences and conventions. Based largely on his efforts and expertise, the Cagle’s Map Turtle Graptemys caglei has been recommended for listing as a threatened species.

Dr. Killebrew is active in several educational orga-nizations, including the Association of Texas Colleges and Universities, the American Association of State Colleges and Universities, the Texas International Education Consortium and the Council of Public Uni-versity Presidents and Chancellors. He is also on the Advisory Board of the Texas A&M University Press and the editorial review boards of several academic

publications. In addition, he serves on the boards of the USS Lexington, the South Texas Institute for the Arts, and the American Bank Advisory Board.

Dr. Killebrew is married to the former Kathy Bart-ley, and they have a daughter and granddaughter.

texas a&m-CorPus Christi......athletiC direCtor tim fitzPatriCk

Timothy Fitzpatrick was named the third athletic director in the history of the Texas A&M-Corpus Christi athletic depart-ment on Wednesday, Aug. 19 after spending the past four seasons in a senior leadership role in the Indiana University athletic department. He fills the position that had been va-cated since 2008.

Prior to joining the Islanders, Fitzpatrick had served since January 2005 as the senior associate athletic director at Indiana. With the Hoosiers, he was responsible for internal administration of the department, oversaw capital construc-tion and facilities management, and had oversight of the football and women’s basketball programs. Additionally, Fitzpatrick managed IU’s external units, including marketing, ticket operations, licensing, merchandising, department web-site, and publications.

During his tenure, he helped the department negotiate a $21,000,000 contract with Adidas and worked extensively with Learfield Sports/IU Sports Properties and the Big Ten Network, who brought a combined $9,000,000 in revenue to the program each year. He also saw his area help gen-erate $1,971,183 in ticket sales revenue in excess of bud-geted projections, a 15-percent improvement.

Fitzpatrick came to IU after spending the previous five years as COO and associate athletics director for external operations at the U.S. Military Academy. Fitzpatrick directed a fundraising effort that saw Army’s donor base grow from 750 to 6,700 and funds grow from $500,000 to $1.8 mil-lion. He also cultivated the Army Sports Network from two radio stations to 18, including 50,000-watt WEPN-AM 1050 in New York City. During his tenure at West Point, corporate sponsorship revenue jumped from $250,000 to $920,000.

Fitzpatrick arrived at West Point from the University of North Carolina-Charlotte, where he served as the associate athletics director for external affairs and executive director of the athletic foundation. Fitzpatrick’s work at Charlotte re-sulted in a 26-percent increase in annual gifts and a 39-per-cent increase in planned gifts.

Prior to Army and Charlotte, Fitzpatrick served in a similar role at Pittsburgh. In addition to serving as the men’s bas-ketball sport administrator, he directed a staff that gener-ated a record $1.4 million in sponsorship revenue and a $125,000 increase in annual giving.

Fitzpatrick was a senior associate athletics director at the University of North Texas from May 1994 to June 1996. He was instrumental in UNT’s transition from NCAA Division I-AA football to the Big West Conference, and during the 1994 football season, North Texas was one of three programs na-tionally to have every football game televised in its home market. This local television package generated more than $700,000 in corporate sponsorship revenue.

He gained considerable experience as assistant commis-sioner of the Southwest Conference from 1992-94. Fitzpat-rick negotiated a $2.25 million, three-year men’s basketball tournament sponsorship with the Dr. Pepper Company, and oversaw the league’s television syndication efforts.

Fitzpatrick began his athletic administration career as the assistant marketing director at Army before moving on to Virginia Commonwealth as the director of marketing and ticket sales (1984-87) and assistant athletics director for Marketing and Public Relations from 1987-92.

A 1981 graduate of Hampden-Sydney College with a bachelor’s degree in English, Fitzpatrick earned his mas-ter’s degree in sports administration from Ohio University in 1982.

Tim is married to Kerry Marks, and they have a son, James.
