In Tribute:The 2011-12 Demon Basketball Media Guide is a tribute to the rich tradition of basketball on campus, nearing its centennial in 2012-13. Coach Mike McConathy, fully aware from his childhood of the great tradition of Demon basketball, cel-ebrates the past by displaying the names of each basketball letterwin-ner on the “Builders of Tradition” wall in the team’s locker room. Many other programs sell nametags on lockers, but McConathy’s belief is that those players paid their dues in full during their careers, and they will be honored for those contribu-tions, not because many of them do in fact provide financial support as well as encouragement to the modern-day Demons.

This public media guide was printed at a total cost of $2,398.40. Eight-hundred (800) books were printed with 68 pages in each book. Printing was done by Multi-Ad Media out of Peoria, Illinois.

Ireland has won numerous awards as SID from the Louisiana Sports Writers Association. He was recently awarded the Distinguished American Award” by the S.M. McNaughton Chapter of the National Football Foundation and College Hall of Fame. Several of his assistant SIDs and graduate assistants have advanced to prominence in media fields. Former NSU sports information staffers under Ireland include Bruce Ludlow, assistant com-missioner of the Southland Conference for media relations; Bill Magrath, media relations manager for the Sports Business Daily; Mike Morrison, co-editor of the ESPN Information Please Almanac; Daucy Crizer, assistant AD and business manager at Lamar; Erik Cox, SID at Lamar; Dart Volz, former SID at Southeastern Louisiana; Melissa Reynaud, former assistant SID at LSU; Kenny Lan-nou, SID at Kansas State; and Troy Mitchell, SID at Henderson State.

Depth and quickness in bas-ketball often adds up to an annoy-ing defensive presence. Those are certainly character-istics of the 2011-12 Northwestern State basketball team. Add one of the most dynamic shot blockers in college basketball history, 6-7 senior center William Mosley, and 13th-year Demons coach Mike McConathy believes this year’s squad will be convert-ing swats and steals into offensive opportunities at an alarming rate to opponents. Northwestern State went 18-14 last year, including a 10-6 sec-ond-place finish in the Southland Conference. The Demons led the nation in blocked shots as a team (7.0 pg) as Mosley won the NCAA individual crown with 4.9 rejec-tions. NSU also contended for the national steals title, leading the NCAA during most of non-confer-ence play despite a typically rug-ged out-of-conference schedule, and wound up ninth nationally with a 9.2 average. This year the Demons will have seven games against 2011 postseason teams, including six NCAA Tournament entries, perhaps adding another in the Sears BracketBusters match-up to be set in mid-season. The key question facing Mc-Conathy: who will step up to fill the void created by the departure of 2010-11 seniors Will Pratt and

Devon Baker, last year’s top two scorers who combined for 33 of NSU’s 77 points per game. Senior guard Louis Ellis, the top return-ing scorer at 8.8 ppg, Mosley (7.9 ppg), juniors Shamir Davis (6.7 ppg, 2.7 assists pg) and James Hulbin (5.8 ppg, 4.6 rebounds pg), and newcomers Demetrice Ja-cobs and Gary Roberson will be expected to do so. Also potential instant help: prep signees Jalan

West (class 4A) and Marvin Fra-zier (Class B) led their teams to Louisiana state titles. The Demons will be strong in the middle, and not simply be-cause of Mosley, although he is the cornerstone and is getting NBA attention. He led the nation in blocks (156, 4.9 pg) last year, and impressed Baylor coaches on an Athletes in Action trip in Europe this summer with offensive im-

provement along with the expected athleticism, of-fensive rebounding aggressiveness and acrobatic shot blocking. They reported he sank free throws with relative regularity after his paltry 34.6 percent last season kept him from a likely double-digit scoring aver-age. If he equals last year’s blocks, he will finish fourth in NCAA history in career blocks, beginning the season with 330, sec-ond all-time in the Southland. He averaged 7.9 ppg, 8.8 rebounds pg (third in the SLC) and shot a league best 63.4 percent last year. Mosley will also graduate during the season, following another trademark of the McConathy era. The Demons had a perfect 1,000 APR for 2009-10 in NCAA’s latest report issued in May.

The addition of the 6-9 Frazier, and the return of players who had 90 percent of NSU’s blocks last season, forecasts a formidable front line. Hulbin, in particular, progressed well in the conference season last year and may be ready for a breakthrough junior campaign. Junior college transfers Rober-son, a local product of Natchitoches Central High School, and Jacobs should help perimeter production. Roberson averaged 11.5 points and 4.3 rebounds last season while serving as team captain and help-ing Jacksonville (Texas) CC to a school-record 24 wins. Jacobs, a 6-3, 195-pound na-tive of New York City, averaged 14.5 points and 4.2 rebounds while shooting 57 percent from the field including 49 percent on 3-pointers for a Missouri State-West Plains team that was ranked No. 1 in the country in junior college basketball.

mikE mccoNathYHead Coach • 13th Season at NSU (184-188) • 28th Season Overall (536-347)Alma Mater: Louisiana Tech (1977) There are some ground rules, unwritten but understood, that come with being involved in Mike McConathy’s Northwestern State basketball program.

First, check your ego at the door and get ready to go to work. In fact, forget about that ego. By the time you’re finished here, you’ll have a great sense of pride, most of it in the people who surround you, because of the work you’ve done together. Second, you are part of the NSU basketball family, in every sense of the word “family.” You will be cared for and respected, treated the way Coach Mike wants his own sons to be treated. It’s a two-way street. Everybody you come into contact with deserves the same, whether it’s a teammate, a student trainer, a janitor, a bus driver, or a waitress in a restaurant hundreds of miles away from home. What you do reflects on everybody else in your family, so you do the right things. And you know what’s right and what’s not. Third, you are part of a program whose slogan is “Championship Basketball ... With a Purpose!” As a Demon, you will be challenged to improve yourself each day, in every way, not just on the basket-ball court or in the weight room, but in the classroom and in life skills that will remain long after your last college jump shot settles softly into the net. Fourth, realize how lucky you are to have this opportunity. Enjoy it. Maximize it. Appreciate it, and those who have made it possible, like your family and your coaches and teammates before you ar-rived at NSU. Fifth, let’s have fun. Basketball is a game. Life is a blessing. It ought to be enjoyable to be around your coaches and teammates, who you’re going to spend more time with than anyone else during your college career. Those are among the core values Coach Mike instills in the Northwestern program. They’re not unique principles. McConathy constantly studies the great motivators and success stories, not only in sports but in busi-ness and religion and education and every aspect of life, looking for lessons he and his coaching staff can teach to their young men. You’ll find the fabled UCLA basketball “Pyramid of Success” de-signed by legendary coach John Wooden in the Demon basketball offices. On every practice plan, there’s a “thought for the day” -- and sometimes it is basketball related, but most often, it’s achievement-oriented. When he arrived at his father’s alma mater in March 1999,

tasked with turning around a long-downtrodden program, Coach Mike didn’t run off the players in the program so he could bring in his kind of guys right away. At the press conference announcing his hiring, he talked about bringing Demon basketball back to the level of expectation it had when his father and uncles played for Northwestern in the 1950s. Then, 20-win seasons and conference championships were stan-dard fare. One veteran media member wondered if the new coach was from Mars, so farfetched that goal seemed. After all, NSU had just five winning seasons in 24 years of Division I membership - and had never been close to a conference championship or an NCAA Tournament berth. McConathy only had two scholarships to work with, just a couple of weeks before signing day, but instead of cleaning house, he cre-ated a homelike atmosphere. This program, he told the veteran players, wasn’t his. It was theirs. His role was to shape it into some-thing good, for them and for the players to come. His two pre-teen boys, Michael and Logan, spent as much time in Prather Coliseum as the players did. That wasn’t by accident. Coach Mike told his team that he wanted to be able to have pride in having his boys around the players. So the McConathy kids had a bunch of older brothers, and the players suddenly had a couple of younger brothers, subtly reminding them their conduct was very personal to their new coach. Deep inside, McConathy also was determined to build a pro-gram that would be solid enough that when his sons finished high school, it might appeal to them to be involved, in some way, per-haps even as players, just like their grandfather Johnny and their uncles, George and Leslie, were in the years between World War II and the Korean Conflict, when the NBA was a fledgling league with teams in Ft. Wayne and Syracuse, a decade before color television made its debut. Now, beginning his 13th season as head coach, Coach Mike’s vision has long since become reality. Sticking with the players already in the program worked. His first team posted the first winning season in eight years at North-western, and became the first Demon team to reach the Southland Conference Tournament championship game. A year later, the Demons were back, and they didn’t stop there. The heart of the team he inherited and inspired worked its way to the SLC Tournament title in 2001, into the NCAA Tournament for the first time ever, and to an opening round win as the Demons

became “Dayton’s Darlings” and somewhat of a national media sensation at the outset of March Madness. The swirl of national talk show appearances, the fact that the team’s opening win was the lead story on “SportsCenter” and in the next day’s USA Today sports section, was all part of the bigger picture for McConathy. It was a chance to solidify the foundation that had been established, an opportunity to springboard the NSU program into a position of being a consistent championship con-tender in the Southland Conference. A year later, as seven seniors went through commencement exercises, McConathy was preparing for the consequences of a surprising recruiting decision. The coach who spent 16 seasons in the junior college ranks decided against blending juco players with a few prep prospects to replace the departing senior class. Instead, McConathy and assistants Dave Simmons and Mark Slessinger brought in a dozen high school seniors. Those recruits were the 2005-06 seniors, except for Jermaine Spencer, who had interest from LSU and Texas, among others, but signed with McConathy and the Demons. Spencer took a medi-cal redshirt year as a sophomore, so his senior season came in 2006-07. Behind that 2003 recruiting class, the Demons layered in a handful of talented high school players in 2004 and 2005, and added a blend of prep and junior college recruits since, averting another wholesale rebuilding.

The plan worked. The youngest team in the country battled through two losing seasons, appearing ready to turn the corner in 2003-04 before some key players were sidelined. In 2004-05, the payoff began: 21 wins (the most for the Demons since 1960), a Southland Conference co-championship, homecourt advantage in the SLC Tournament and an ESPN-televised champi-onship game at Prather Coliseum. But it was a stunning last-minute loss. That was the painful mo-tivator for the 2005-06 team - the Demons wanted to fulfill their potential, to repeat as champs, host the SLC tournament champi-onship game again, and win there - and in the NCAA Tournament. They did that, and much more. The Demons had a school-record 26 wins, including victories at Oklahoma State, Mississippi State, over Oregon State and No. 15 Iowa in the NCAA Tournament. Attendance records were shat-tered. They earned a TV game in the ESPN BracketBusters. They won the SLC by the widest margin in nine seasons. Northwestern made its fourth SLC Tournament championship game appearance in McConathy’s first seven seasons as head coach. The Demons won the Pontiac Game Changing Performance $100,000 general scholarship prize for the most spectacular play in the NCAA Tour-nament. Northwestern made four national television (CBS, ESPN2, ESPNU) appearances, let alone the cascade of national coverage during their NCAA Tournament run by the Demons of Destiny.

Mcconathy’s Magic

As a player... “Coach Mike” is already inducted into the Louisiana Association of Basketball Coaches Hall of Fame for his career as a high school All-American at Bossier City-Airline High School and as a high scoring guard at Louisiana Tech from 1973-77. He was inducted in Louisiana Tech’s Athletics Hall of Fame in October 2011. McConathy was a gym rat. One of his per-sonal workouts involved shooting baskets in the dark. The hard work paid off for McConathy, who was a fourth-round draft pick of the NBA’s Chi-cago Bulls. Among his 2,033 career points were 45, still the Prather Coliseum single-game re-cord, against Northwestern in his senior year. He was told he had made the Bulls roster, but was released on the final cut. He tried playing in Eu-rope, but soon decided to come home and begin his coaching career.

As a coach before NSU ... McConathy’s start in coaching came as girls basketball coach at his alma mater, Airline High School in Bossier City. Soon, he moved into the college ranks without making any kind of move at all. McConathy won 20 games or more in 11 of his 16 seasons as head coach at Bossier Parish Community College, starting the program from scratch in 1983. They didn’t have a gym or dor-mitories, practicing and playing at Airline when the gym was available. But his teams posted at least 23 wins in each of his last seven seasons at BPCC, and were in the top 10 of the final nation-al junior college Top 25 rankings in each of his last three seasons. His overall 352-159 (.688) record at Bossier

Parish included a remarkable 185-48 (.794) mark since the start of the 1992-93 season. His last six teams won Miss-Lou Conference championships. His 1998-99 club was 26-5 and ranked eighth nationally, a year after the team posted a 27-3 record and finished with a No. 3 national ranking.

Coaching influences ... His father, Johnny McConathy, won a state championship at Bossier High School before he went into administration, eventually serving a long term as superintendent of schools in Bossier Parish. His first college coach was Scotty Robertson, who signed him to play at Louisiana Tech and coaching him his freshman year before becom-ing the first-ever head coach of the NBA’s New Orleans Jazz. Coach Robertson spent more than 20 years in the NBA, serving as head coach in New Orleans, Chicago and Detroit, and retir-ing as Pat Riley’s bench coach with the Miami Heat. Until he passed away in August, Coach Robertson made frequent trips to Natchitoches to visit with the Demons and to duck hunt with his good friends, including NSU soccer coach Jimmy Mitchell. Former state Rep. Billy Wayne Montgom-ery was a highly successful high school coach in Bossier Parish, winning a state champion-ship at Haughton High School before he entered politics. Coach Montgomery and Johnny McCo-nathy are close friends. Coach’s value-centered approach to coaching and life made a huge im-pression on Coach Mike as he grew up in Bossier City. Coach Montgomery was named Mr. Loui-siana Basketball for 2008-09 by the Louisiana As-sociation of Basketball Coaches. Robertson and Montgomery are in the Loui-siana Sports Hall of Fame.

Each March, national media revisit the win over Iowa, capped by Jermaine Wallace’s off-side rebound and fall-away 3-pointer from the corner with 0.5 left. It’s shown over and over on TV, and has continually been featured in lists of all-time NCAA Tournament great finishes and best NCAA games of the decade. Last year, an NCAAsports.com vote by fans tabbed the contest the greatest game in NCAA Tournament history. Also in 2005-06, NSU was among 34 programs around the na-tion, alongside Harvard and Yale, North Carolina and Villanova, Air Force and Navy, to receive special recognition by the NCAA for ranking in the top 10 percent nationally in the Academic Progress Rate report for two years of outstanding work advancing players toward graduation. Seven seniors graduated, five with degrees. For most programs it would be back to the drawing board at that point. For the Demons, it was back to more success in 2006-07 - starting with a jam-packed Prather Coliseum for a season-opening smackdown of Utah State, and finishing a 3-pointer shy of another NCAA Tournament berth. For the third straight year, NSU won an SLC title - this time the newly created SLC East Division crown. Again, the Demons were in the SLC Finals. It was more déjà vu in 2008. For the sixth time in nine seasons, and for the fourth consecu-tive year, the Demons reached the SLC Tournament championship game. Another nailbiting 3-point loss kept them from the Big Dance. But their SLC Tournament dominance is palpable to observers and the competition, who are wary of the Demons’ depth that makes them so formidable in the late season and postseason play. Another equally impressive streak also was extended. For a third straight year, NSU basketball led all Division I basketball programs in Louisiana and in the SLC with their outstanding APR score. Out-standing performances in the APR have continued, with a perfect 1,000 score in the May 2011 report. It’s a tradition that is expected to be rekindled next spring when the 2012 APR is released. It’s all part of Coach Mike’s plan. And it’s a home grown product. McConathy has built with Louisiana players - 13 of this year’s 17 Demons are from the Bayou State. That’s fitting. The McConathy family roots, and values, are deep in the red clay hills of north Louisiana, tracing back decades to his family’s farm in hilly Bienville Parish, where his father and uncles did their chores before they used horses and bicycles to make the six-mile plus trip to basketball practice and games. During his days at Bossier Parish Community College, McCo-nathy had chances to join his college teammate Tim Floyd as an assistant coach at Iowa State and possibly to the NBA, but it never came to pass. He couldn’t put a price tag on raising his boys around their grandparents and uncles and aunts in north Louisiana. Now, as he’s brought Northwestern basketball back, and even beyond to a level it reached when his father played for the Demons, he’s proud his parents, Johnny and Corene, sit across the court at

Prather Coliseum, savoring the experience. On Homecoming day 2009, a Decade of Dynamic Demon Bas-ketball was celebrated with a reunion of those who made it happen -- almost 100 players, managers, trainers, coaches and staff gath-ered at Prather Coliseum for a family picnic. Nearly all of Coach Mike’s first team in 1999-2000 returned, reflecting their appreciation for the respect, care and leadership he provided. Players traveled from around the country to share fellowship with former teammates and brothers in basketball from throughout the first 10 seasons un-der Coach Mike’s guidance. The transformation is accomplished. The challenge hasn’t end-ed -- competition never does -- but Mike McConathy has built a program solid enough that he would be proud to have his own son as part of the team. He’s smiling a bit more broadly nowadays. Michael and Logan graduated with honors after finishing five years in purple and white. But there still is a roster full of “Coach Mike’s boys” who don’t hap-pen to be McConathys, just Demons. Ask any of them, or their predecessors. Demon basketball truly is all a family thing.

“Mike is remarkably relaxed in this pressure cooker. You can tell his players hold a reverence toward him. If you didn’t meet him, you’d think he was too good to be true. He’s a quality human being, more concerned about his kids getting through school and doing well in life than anything else, and they know it.”-- Bill Raftery, CBS Sports2006 NCAA Tournament

“I’ve seen and coached a lot of ath-letes down through the years but even today I can say that Mike Mc-Conathy is the most dedicated ath-lete I have ever been around. He was unrelenting in his drive to improve. He would often wear ankle weights, and he was constantly jumping rope. Even after practice, many nights he would return to the gym, calling a manager to come shag balls for him as he shot and shot and shot to im-prove. It was obvious to me early on that Mike was going to be a special player, but it was definitely his work ethic that set him apart over the course of his career.”-- college teammate, Cal-Riverside head coach Jim Wooldridge

“I have never seen the drive Mike had in any other player on any lev-el. Looking back, I realize that the things we coaches try to empha-size each day to our players are the things that Mike did back then. He was completely self-made and his numbers each year reflected how hard he was working. He could have started for North Carolina, UCLA or anybody else.”-- college teammate, now UTEP head coach Tim Floyd




Mcconathy’s Magic

McConathy is home: family ties to NSU span more than 50 yearsby Jerry Byrd, Bossier Press-Tribune

For more than 50 years, the name of McConathy has been synonymous with Northwestern State University basket-ball tradition. It all started on the Bienville Parish hill farm of O. L. McConathy in 1945, the year that World War II ended. McConathy’s oldest sons, Leslie and Johnny, were plowing corn that day when their work was interrupted by an

automobile winding its way up the dirt road leading to the farmhouse. The three men in the automobile were representatives from the Louisiana Normal College in Natchi-

toches. The Bryceland High School basketball team had defeated Coushatta in a rally at Natchitoches, and the men made the trip to Bienville Parish to offer an athletic scholarship to Leslie McConathy. One of the men was the Normal football coach and athletic director, Harry “Rags” Turpin. Another was Monty Cheeves, an assistant basketball coach. The other was Joe Webb, a chemistry professor who later became head of the alumni association. Webb’s son, Randy, is now the president of Northwestern.

Legend has it that Leslie McConathy picked up his plow by one handle, pointed in the direction of the farmhouse and told them he would meet them there as soon as he and Johnny plowed their way around the hill. But Johnny’s memory is a bit foggy on that point. When they reached the house, the scholarship offer was made and accepted, sealed by a handshake, and the visitors left. A few weeks later, Leslie changed his mind after visiting Louisiana Tech at Ruston, and sent a letter to Coach Turpin informing him that he had decided to attend Tech. Turpin returned to the McConathy farm to

discuss the situation with Leslie and his father. O. L. McConathy asked Leslie if he told the people from Normal that he would go to their college.

“Yes, sir,” he replied. “Then you told the people at Tech you would go to their college?” “Yes, sir.” “Well, that’s a mighty poor way to do business, isn’t it? You gave your word to these people first, so that settles it.” “We lived right behind the school,” Johnny McConathy recalls. Actually, it was six miles as the crow flies -- and much longer when Leslie rode a horse and Johnny pedaled a bicycle to the gym for basketball practice and games. Two years after his older brother went to the Natchitoches college, when Johnny was a senior at Bryceland High

(which had an enrollment of 69 students), no college recruiters made the trip to the McConathy farmhouse. One reason was that Johnny McConathy broke his ankle early in the season. Another was the fact that he was a 6-1,

155-pound stringbean who would grow four inches taller in the next two years. Johnny hitchhiked to Natchitoches, where he found legendary coach H. Lee Prather playing a ping pong game. “What can you do?” Prather asked him between serves.

“I can play ball,” said Johnny. Prather looked at him and shook his head. “You don’t look like much of a ballplayer to me,” he said. “I don’t have anything for you.” Then he resumed his ping pong game. Johnny McConathy wasn’t easily discouraged. When classes started the following fall, he hitchhiked to Natchitoches again. Once again, Prather told him no scholarship was available. But after Johnny managed to hang around for a few days, Prather called in Leslie and told him one of the boys he was expecting hadn’t shown up. “I’ll give your brother an opportunity, one day at a time,” he said. By that time, the Natchitoches school had changed its name to Northwestern State College. Leslie and Johnny McConathy both played on the 1948-49 Demon team which posted a 23-5 record and is still regarded as Prather’s greatest team. So did another McConathy, Herschel, a distant relative from Florien. The McConathy clan was part of a group of settlers from Alabama who traveled west along the route of what is now Interstate 20 (because it was the high ground, and their wagons wouldn’t bog down in the mud.) They hung a left at Arcadia, where they founded the Alabama Baptist Church, and some stayed in Bienville Parish while others continued to Sabine, Vernon an Beauregard parishes. Johnny McConathy went from his “one day at a time” trial period to set a school scoring record and win All-America honors in 1952. After a brief stint in the National Basketball Association, he coached Bossier High to its only state basketball championship in 1960 and later served as superintendent of Bossier Parish schools. Leslie was superintendent of Richland Parish schools. By the time younger brother George McConathy was a senior at Bryceland High, the Bienville Parish school had won a couple of state championships and




Mcconathy’s Magic

Prather, who was then the Northwestern president, made the trip to the McConathy farmhouse himself to complete the clean sweep for the Demons. George became an All-Gulf States Conference star for Demon teams coached by Charles “Red” Thomas. One generation (and several interviews) later, the McConathy connection led to Northwestern State. When he was a senior at Airline High, Mike McConathy was recruited by LSU, Louisiana Tech and Northwestern State. He signed with Tech coach Scotty Robertson, who had coached at Shreveport’s Byrd High when Mike’s father, Johnny was coaching at Bossier High. McConathy became the second Tech player ever to score 2,000 points, passing the milestone in a game with Northwestern in which the Demons’ Billy Reynolds also broke the 2,000 point barrier, something only 16 other players in state history have done. Later, Mike McConathy became the first basketball coach at Bossier Parish Community College, and developed the team from scratch into a perennial national junior college powerhouse. Twice, he applied for coaching vacancies at Northwestern State and wasn’t selected. But Mike Mc-Conathy, like his father, is not easily discouraged. He interviewed for the Demons’ coaching position again in March 1999, and got the job. When Johnny McConathy went to Northwestern State, the Demons were in the middle of a streak of 19 straight winning seasons under Prather, Thomas and Huey Cranford. Six of those teams won 20 or more games. The Natchitoches school had only two losing basketball seasons in the first 47 years of its basketball program. That is the kind of tradition that Mike McConathy grew up hearing about from his father and uncles. That is the kind of achievement that Coach Mike McConathy had to his credit in 16 seasons as head basketball coach at Bossier Parish Community College. Nowadays at Northwestern, it’s clear Coach Mike McConathy has restored the same kind of champi-onship tradition to the Demon basketball program his family helped to shape.

Two generations of McConathy brothers have played for the Demons. Shown (left to right) standing in front of the rock crib at the McConathy family farm in Bienville Parish where the older McConathys grew up - George McConathy, Logan McConathy, John McConathy, Michael McConathy, and Leslie McConathy.

After reading the preceding story, nationally-acclaimed Dayton Daily News columnist Tom Archdeacon spent time with Coach McConathy, his team and his family on the opening day of the 2001 NCAA Tournament. Archdeacon told the story of McConathy’s deep ties to Northwest-ern in the next morning’s Dayton Daily News. Portions of that column are excerpted here:

For Cinderella team, the McConathy magic is backMarch 14, 2001by Tom Archdeacon, Dayton Daily News

The big, white-haired man in the Demon purple shirt laughed and nod-ded: Sure, he’d tell the story of the plow and the promise........”That’s how this all began. It got me there and our brother George, one of our cousins, too, and now... it’s got Mike.” Mike McConathy is Johnny’s son and the m i r a c l e - work i ng , second-year coach of Northwestern State. Tuesday night, that Louisiana field that was plowed 55 years ago bore its best basketball fruit at UD Arena as Northwestern State -- playing the first NCAA Tournament game in school history -- defeated Winthrop, 71-67, in the opening round game of this year’s tournament ........Across Blackburn Court, Doug Ire-land, the Demons’ sports information director, looked out at the scene of the proud father and triumphant son -- who soon would be fighting tears when he talked of his parents and how they’d driven nearly 1,000 miles to be here with him, and nodded: “The McConathy magic is back. This is just an absolute great story.” Northwestern State and the McCo-nathys is one of those charming Cin-derella tales you get early in an NCAA Tournament. It’s a story of honor, un-daunted belief and success.




JEFF moorEAssistant Coach • 6th Season at NSUAlma Mater: Missouri Valley College (1995)

He’s the son of a legendary south Louisiana high school basketball coach. He spent five seasons as a head coach himself in the junior college ranks. He hit the ground running, at a sprinter’s pace, as he joined the Northwestern

State coaching staff in September 2006. His command of basketball strategy and his zeal on the recruiting trail immediately came to the forefront and contin-ues to shine through beginning his sixth year on the NSU staff.

That’s 16-year coaching veteran Jeff Moore, whose amazing work ethic and winning personality made him the perfect choice to fill some big shoes on the Demons staff. He replaced current McNeese State head coach Dave Simmons. Remarkably, the Demons didn’t miss a beat. Moore’s strategic acumen and teaching skills were tremen-dous assets as NSU won yet another Southland Conference title in his first season on staff, capturing the SLC East Division crown. In his first two seasons, the Demons made back-to-back trips to the SLC Finals. Moore’s motto: “preparation comes face-to-face with opportunity.” Moore, a 1990 graduate of Lake Arthur High School, spent 2005-06 as an assistant coach at nearby Bossier Parish Community College and the three previous years as an assistant at Tyler (Texas) Junior College. Says Demon head coach Mike McConathy: “He is a great teacher of the game, a tremendous worker, and has an extremely positive, warm personality. He’s rooted in Louisi-ana, which is the heartbeat of our program, and he also has contacts around basketball that broaden our network. “Jeff also has an impressive amount of experience for someone relatively young in the game. He grew up with a dad who was a great basketball coach and the game is definitely a passion for him,” said McConathy. “From being a head junior college coach for five seasons, he understands what we have to do to not only keep our program achieving at a high level, but to move forward.” Moore’s father, the late Wilbert C. “Nooky” Moore, coached for 33 seasons in Louisiana at the high school (Slidell, Rayne, Notre Dame-Crowley, Lake Arthur) and college (assistant coach to Ralph Ward at McNeese State) levels. The younger Moore began his college coaching career in 1995 at his alma mater, Missouri Valley College, after serving as a student assistant coach in 1994-95 following the end of his playing career. He was named an NAIA Scholar All-American at Missouri Valley after earning National Junior College Athletic Association All-Academic honors at Marshalltown (Iowa) Community College, where he was also an honor-able mention all-region performer. He earned a master’s degree in education, with an emphasis in athletic administration, from Northwest-

ern State in 1997. He spent five years (1997-2002) as head basketball coach and athletic director at John Wood (Ill.) Community College, highlight-ed by a 2001 run to the NJCAA regional tournament semifinals. Moore was a standout player at Lake Arthur High School and recently was inducted into the school’s athletic hall of fame. He played on the Louisiana Stars AAU state championship team and was chosen for the Louisiana Pepsi All-Stars Team that toured the Canary Islands. He continues to host summer camps in Jefferson Davis Par-ish starting in 1998 and also hosted senior workout camps in April in south Louisiana, providing an opportunity for hundreds of state prep players to obtain college scholarships at the junior college, NAIA and NCAA levels. His relationships with prep coaches has helped raise attendance at summer NSU camps and clinics to all-time highs. He and his wife Amy, a third grade teacher at the NSU Lab School, have a beautiful and active 4 1/2-year-old daughter, Gracie, and are expecting a baby boy in February.

BiLL LEWitAssistant Coach • 1st Season at NSUAlma Mater: Salisbury University (1991) After establishing a perennial Juco national power at Cecil College, Bill Lewit joins the staff at Northwestern State to help continue what head coach Mike McConathy has built. At NSU, Lewit will not only be coaching basketball, but also work within the university and athletic department mission to implement an even stronger work ethic with measureable outcomes. He also looks to keep and improve upon the same core principles that head coach Mike McConathy has already established within the NSU basketball program.

His biggest contributions to the basketball team will be in player development, social development, academic goal setting, and expanding NSU’s recruitment base. “I am truly blessed to have landed as an assistant coach on Coach McConathy’s staff,” Lewit said. “He is a proven winner who has built a very special basketball program, and most importantly empowers his staff and players to perform on and off the court with the same championship qualities he possesses. I know, just like all the players and coaches before me, I will be better because of my experience with him.” Before coming to NSU, Lewit spent the last two years at the University of New Orleans, where he was associate head coach while the Privateers were in the Sun Belt Conference. Prior to his work at New Orleans, Lewit not only won a national championship in 2006 at Cecil after going 33-2, but also guided the team to the No. 1 spot in the final regular season polls three times, and top-7 finishes in each of his final 11 seasons. The 2006 team was the first team in NCJAA history to start as the No. 1 ranked team at the start of the season, end as the No. 1 ranked team in the final regular season poll, and go on to win the national title. Lewit also earned National Coach of the Year in 2006, and maintained 100% eligibility for his players over his14 years and over 90% graduation of his sophomores. Additionally, Cecil won six Maryland Juco Regular season Conference Championships, five Maryland Juco State Tournament Championships, six Region Championships, and 354 games under Lewit. He was selected conference and region Coach of the Year a combined 15 times. Even before coaching, sports and competition had always been a big driving force for Lewit. He was a football and basketball standout from 1987-91 at Salisbury University (Md.). In his senior season (1990-91), he served as the football team captain, led the team in receptions and receiving yards, held the basketball team’s highest free throw and 3-point shooting percentage, and won the overall Male Scholar-Athlete of the Year Award. To this day, Lewit is still the only athlete at Salisbury to earn four varsity letters in both football and basketball. One of his biggest collegiate highlights was when he recorded 17 points, five rebounds and four assists in the conference championship game to help lead Salisbury earn an automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament. Lewit studied for a Bachelor’s in Communications in 1991, and Master’s in Education/Counseling in 1993, both from Salisbury. In high school, Lewit earned a combined nine varsity letters in football, basketball and baseball at Red Bank Regional HS (NJ). As a senior, he was named to the all-county team in all three sports. Some of his biggest high school accolades were winning three division titles in basket-ball, being selected for the Vince Lombardi Rock and Granite award as one of Monmouth Country’s elite football players, and being honored as Red Bank Regional’s Most Outstand-ing Male Athlete in 1987. Furthermore, Lewit became the youngest Red Bank Regional Alumni to be inducted into the Red Bank Regional Distinguished Alumni Hall of Fame in April, 2010. Lewit is an avid New York sports fan and supports the Yankees, Giants, Knicks and Islanders. His connections in sports to this day are outstanding. His basketball teammate at Salisbury, Russell Springmann, is an assistant coach with the Texas Longhorns basketball team. One of Lewit’s college football teammates, Dan Quinn, is the Defensive Coordina-tor for the Florida Gators football team. Jareem Dowling, one of Lewit’s athletes and former assistants at Cecil, is now an assistant coach for the Morehead State basketball team. Lewit is the son of Bob and Maureen Lewit. He grew up in a catholic family and both his parents and two brothers, Bob and Greg, still live in New Jersey. His grand-mother, Angela Lewit, currently resides in Tampa Bay, Fla. His family has always been his biggest inspiration in life as they stressed Catho-lic faith, family, education, athletics, work ethic and serving others.

JacoB SPiELBauErAssistant Coach • 6th Season at NSUAlma Mater: William Penn University (2007) Jacob Spielbauer, who has been part of the Northwestern State basketball staff for the past five seasons, was promoted this summer to an assistant coaching position under 13th-year coach Mike McConathy. Spielbauer, previously NSU’s director of basketball opera-tions, has taken over recruiting duties and some other re-

sponsibilities formerly handled by Mark Slessinger, hired as head coach at the University of New Orleans after 11 seasons with the Demons. The 27-year-old Wapello, Iowa, native earned a master’s of sport administration during his time at Northwestern. In his first season with the Demons, he helped NSU reach its league-record fourth straight Southland Conference Tournament champion-ship game, and last year, he was part of a staff that led NSU to a second place finish in the conference race. “Jacob has earned the opportunity,” said McConathy. “He came to us with a great basketball background and he immediately became a very valued member of our program. He has excelled at everything he’s done and already has shown he’s going to be very good for us in this expanded role, particularly as it relates to recruiting. “He’s a quality person and has a great future in the profession,” said McCona-thy. Spielbauer was an NAIA honorable mention All-American point guard and an Academic All-American at William Penn University in 2006 and 2007, along with earning all-conference honors for three seasons. He was team captain in his last three years and helped the Statesmen post back-to-back conference champion-ships before their reached the NAIA Division II national tournament in his senior season. At Wapello High, playing for his father Ken, he was a 2003 Iowa All-State pick. His parents, Ken and Karen, have another son, Davis, and a daughter, Emily. His father has been head coach at Wapello for 28 seasons. Spielbauer, born Sept. 18, 1984, enjoys playing and watching all sports.

and 30th year in the profession, Ed Evans has earned the respect of his peers, along with honors from North-western State’s athletic letterwinners and the Louisiana governor’s office for his contributions to the field of sports medicine and athletic training in general and to Northwestern State in particular. Evans was presented honorary membership in the Graduate N Club, the association of athletic letterwin-ners at Northwestern State, during 2005 homecoming ceremonies. Only four other individuals have received such an honor from the N Club, which paid tribute to Evans’ dedicated, unselfish service in four decades (counting his time as a graduate student) to student-athletes at NSU. In 2004, Evans was named the regional “College Athletic Trainer of the Year” by the Southeastern Ath-letic Trainers Association, which includes members who are in the profession in seven states from Louisi-ana to Georgia and Kentucky. Evans served six years as president of the Louisiana Athletic Trainers’ Association and six more as secre-tary/treasurer. He was enshrined in the LATA Hall of Fame in 2000. Evans is a member of the Advisory Committee on Athletic Training to the Louisiana State Board of Medi-cal Examiners. He also serves on the Governor’s Coun-cil for Physical Fitness, appointed early in 2000 by then Gov. Mike Foster. Evans worked as a graduate assistant at Northwest-ern from 1979-82. He earned his masters degree in physical education (1980) and completed 30 hours be-yond the master’s with an emphasis in guidance and counseling. Evans served four years in the U.S Navy as a hospital corpsman and physical/occupational therapy techni-cian. He spent seven years as athletic trainer at Natchi-toches Central High School, working the Louisiana High School Coaches Association’s All-Star games two years, before joining the Northwestern staff.

Dr. Randall J. WebbNorthwestern State President Dr. Randall J. Webb stated when he became Northwestern State University’s 17th president in July of 1996 that his primary objective would be to help make his Alma Mater the best institution it could be. It is apparent after 15 years that Webb is achieving that admirable goal. Enrollment has reached record levels during Webb’s tenure as president and exceeded 10,500 for the first time in history in the fall of 2004. Webb has also been at the forefront in recent years of moving the university toward higher admission standards, which has resulted in some enrollment declines but in the enrollment of students with greater academic potential and aptitude.

Retention has increased at the university, the average ACT score of students has gone up, and high school student leaders are enrolling in Northwestern in record numbers. There has been a substantial increase in the number of high school valedictorians and salutatorians among first-time freshmen at the university. External funding for NSU has also increased dramatically under Webb’s leadership. In the first capital campaign in its history, the university received $32.7 million to far exceed its goal of $18.84 million. That funding included the establishment of numerous endowed chairs and professorships to enhance academic programs at the university. In addition to the private funding, Northwestern has received more grant monies in recent years from state and federal agencies and private founda-tions than at any time since its founding in 1884. Webb has also expanded the university’s outreach by spearheading the development at NSU of the largest electronic education and distance learning network of any university in Louisiana. NSU offers courses and degree programs to students across the nation and world through Internet and compressed video. Millions of dollars have been obtained during Webb’s presidency for new and renovated facilities. A new $6.9 million Wellness, Recreation and Activity Center opened on the campus in 2005; and Morrison Hall, the Family and Consumer Sciences Building, and Williamson Hall have been completely renovated and restored. A new Student Services Center on the site of the former West Caspari Hall will be complete early next year. Over $32 million in construction by a private company has added two modified residence halls to the campus in recent years. Funding has also been ob-tained to rebuild the East Caspari Hall and replace the underground electrical distribution system. Northwestern academic programs and athletic teams continue to receive positive national recognition. The Computer Information Systems pro-gram, for example, won five consecutive national championships in academic competition in systems analysis, and the NSU men’s basketball team defeated Iowa in the NCAA national championship tournament. A former center on the Northwestern football team, Webb is an avid supporter of the university’s athletic programs and has held positions of leadership at the national level in intercollegiate athletics. He has served as chair of the board of directors of the Southland Conference and has been a member of the prestigious NCAA Executive Council and the NCAA Division I Board of Directors that oversee all major policy decisions by the governing body for major college sports. He currently serves as the Southland Conference representative on the NCAA Presidential Advisory Group. A 1965 graduate of Northwestern in mathematics and business education, Webb earned a master of science degree in mathematics from NSU in 1966. He received a doctorate in education from the University of Southern Mississippi in 1971 with a concentration in mathematics and research. Webb was a member of the faculty of Longwood College in Farmville, Va, from 1966 until 1974. He served as Director of Higher Education and Teacher Certifica-tion in the Louisiana Department of Education from 1974 through 1976. He moved to Southeastern Louisiana University in 1976 and in 13 years there held positions as director of institutional research, EEO officer, registrar and member of the math-ematics faculty. He became Dean of Instruction and Graduate Studies and professor of math-ematics at Northwestern in 1989. In that position, he was responsible for campus-wide policy development, planning, advancement, and review of both graduate and undergraduate programs. While Webb was in that position, graduate enrollment increased by 35 percent, and internal funding for faculty research increased by 200 percent. As dean, Webb proposed the concept for NSU’s successful Freshman Connection Program and served as a member of the writing team for a grant proposal that re-sulted in a five year, $1.7 million Title III grant to improve student retention. He also chaired the steering committee for NSU’s Self Study for the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. He has been active in the community as a member of the board of directors of the Natchitoches Chamber of Commerce and as a member of the Association for the Preservation of Historic Natchitoches, the Natchitoches Historic Foundation, the Natchitoches-Northwestern Symphony Society, Rotary Club, and the First Baptist Church. Webb and his wife Brenda have two daughters, both honor graduates of North-western. Tamara and her husband, former NSU All-America baseball pitcher Reggie Gatewood, live in McKinney, Texas, withtheir children Tyler and Ava. Lauren is married to former outstanding NSU baseball player Nick Simokaitis, and they live in St. Louis with their sons Nicholas and Benjamin.

Jerry PierceVice President • External Affairs Jerry Pierce is the Cal Ripken of the Northwestern State athletic program. Day after day, year after year, Pierce is in the lineup, fielding his position with aplomb, and delivering at the plate, knocking a ball out of the park from time to time but always taking an understated profile, seeing himself as a role player. Beginning his 47th year on the university’s staff, Pierce’s impact on NSU and the city of Natchitoches can’t be mea-sured as easily as Ripkin’s Baseball Hall of Fame statistics,

but they are equally indelible. He begins his 21st year as vice president of external affairs at Northwestern. A sig-nificant aspect of his job is oversight of intercollegiate athletics. Pierce works closely with athletic director Greg Burke and all NSU coaches and staff members to keep Northwest-ern athletics competing at a championship level week after week, month after month and year after year. Pierce is an avid tennis player who has been a member of USTA teams that have won more than a dozen state championships, five regional titles and one national champion-

ship. Well before moving into the executive position, Pierce had already served his alma mater, adopted hometown and state with distinction. In his role as vice president, he oversees university operations in athletics, alumni and development, public and media relations and assists President Dr. Randall J. Webb in governmental affairs activities. Many of those duties were his since the 1970s as he worked under four previous presidents as Northwestern advanced from NAIA to NCAA College Division to NCAA Division I athletic status in 1977. A 1961 graduate of Northwestern, Pierce served as trainer for the Demon football team during his college years, work-ing closely with legendary coach Jack Clayton. After earning his journalism degree, Pierce went to work for the New Or-leans Times Picayune, serving as a reporter and editor. He was named executive sports editor at the age of 24. In 1965, he chose to raise his two sons in Natchitoches and returned to NSU as sports information director. He was pro-moted to news bureau director two years later and assumed additional responsibilities in athletics, alumni affairs and oth-er areas through the years. He founded, in 1972, the Louisiana Sports Hall of Fame facility in Prather Coliseum on the NSU campus, providing a home for an entity created in 1958. He established annual induction activities that remain in place nearly four decades later, and served as director of the Hall for 19 years until his promotion to vice president forced him to step aside from the volunteer post. He helped guide Northwestern into three athletic confer-ences (Trans America, 1979; Gulf Star, 1983; Southland, 1987) and NCAA Division I status in 1977. He is a past president of the Southland and has served the conference through other offices and committee positions.

In 1994, he was named one of Louisiana’s 20 most influential sports figures by the Times-Picayune. Also on the list were New Orleans Saints owner Tom Benson, LSU ath-letic director Joe Dean and basketball coach Dale Brown, and Grambling football coach-ing legend Eddie Robinson. His salesmanship and managerial skills were instrumental in convincing Tri-Star Productions to film the 1989 smash hit movie Steel Magnolias, with an all-star cast in-cluding Julia Roberts, Sally Field and Dylan McDermott in Natchitoches and on the NSU campus. The movie’s impact on tourism in Natchitoches continues to resonate more than two decades later. Pierce is regarded as one of the most effective legislative liaisons for Louisiana’s higher education system. He is also a popular after dinner speaker and master of ceremonies who has spoken at hundreds of events since 1965. In addition to his administrative responsibilities, Pierce is a member of the Journal-ism Department faculty. He is the author of one book and editor of two others and has written thousands of editorials, columns, features and other articles for newspapers and magazines. Pierce and his wife Regina, a teacher, live on Cane River Lake in Natchitoches. He has two sons, Randy and Rick, both NSU graduates; and three grandchildren, twins Evan and Amanda, 22, and Miranda, 11, and two stepchildren, Nicholas and Natalie.

In the midst of his 16th year as director of athletics at Northwestern State, Greg Burke has received national acclaim for the job he’s done in his adopted hometown. Burke has been athletics director at Northwestern since Aug. 29, 1996, when his first day included speaking at the annual NSU/Independence Bowl Kickoff Luncheon. Burke is the longest serving AD at any Louisiana institution. He has steered NSU athletics to many of its greatest accomplishments while overseeing a program that has fielded championship caliber teams in nearly all of the school’s NCAA Division I sports. Last year, he was included among 29 winners of the Under Amour AD of the Year Award presented by the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA). He was also among four winners chosen to be involved in a Street and Smith’s SportsBusiness Journal panel discussion on current Division I athletics issues. Joining NSU’s Burke were Purdue’s Morgan Burke (no relation), Samford’s Bob Roller and Lee Fowler of North Carolina State, with the transcript of their discussion distributed to national media by the Sports Business Daily. Burke just completed a term as the 2010-11 president of the Football Championship Subdivision Athletics Directors Association. Burke’s 15 years as athletic director include 32 Southland Conference regular-season or tournament championships, 54 All-American and Academic All-American student athletes, and three U.S. Olympic competitors. Seventeen NSU teams have taken part in NCAA or WNIT postseason competition. Under his guidance, Northwestern State has led all 13 public institutions in Louisiana, and all 12 Southland Conference institutions, in the NCAA’s Academic Progress Rate and Gradu-ation Success Rate reports. The school’s athletic facilities have undergone nearly $7 million in improvements in the past four years. NSU in 2004-05 became the first (and remains the only) Southland Conference member in the league’s five decades of history to sweep football, men’s basketball and baseball champi-onships in the same athletic year. It’s been done only once in Southeastern Conference history, by Alabama in 1933-34, and only four times in Big Ten Conference history, the last time by Michigan State in 1979-80. Those accomplishments have come with one of the more modest athletic budgets in the state and conference. Burke’s management skill and fundraising ability have been pivotal. Burke generated a $2 million series of sponsorships for new scoreboards installed for 2008-09 at all NSU athletic venues and spearheaded the $700,000 Second Century Circle fencing project for athletic venues. Burke has displayed a remarkable ability to hire dynamic head coaches, including several whose success at Northwestern State has propelled them to national prominence in subsequent positions. Some of his best hires remain on staff at NSU. Two, basketball’s Mike McConathy and soccer’s Jimmy Mitchell, guided Northwestern in NCAA Tournament play in their second seasons and have been back to postseason since. NSU’s 2006 basketball team scored one of the most memorable upsets in the history of March Madness, coming from 17 down to stun No. 15-ranked Iowa 64-63. Burke has selected head coaches who have subsequently been hired by Alabama, Florida, Missouri, New Mexico, Kentucky, Virginia, Mississippi State and Wichita State. From his first day on the job, Burke has stressed the importance of having a balanced athletic program. To that end, tremendous competitive strides have been made in women’s athlet-ics under his guidance. The NSU soccer program was the first one in Louisiana ever to reach the NCAA Tournament and remains the only one with multiple appearances. Volleyball set attendance records and has made its best-ever showings in conference play in recent years. In softball, NSU posted the nation’s most improved win total in 2010 regular-season play under second-year coach Donald Pickett, and moved among league contenders in 2011. The Lady Demons joined Stanford as the only women’s tennis programs in the country in 2010 with only one regular-season loss, while sweeping Southland regular-season and tournament titles and making a first-ever NCAA Team Tournament appearance. While on-field success by Demon and Lady Demon teams has been a source of pride for NSU supporters, Burke is equally proud of the tone which has been set within the NSU athletic program as it relates to academic achievement and community service. The academic accomplishments are reflected annually in the NCAA’s APR and GSR studies. Community service by NSU student-athletes, coaches and staff more than doubled to over 5,000 hours in 2009-10 and remained at that level in 2010-11. Burke spearheaded the adoption of the slogan “Great Tradition, Brighter Future” for NSU Athletics, and the creation of NSU Athletics “Cornerstones” for student-athletes: “Academic Achievement, Personal Responsibility, Competitive Success … Every Minute, Every Hour, Ev-ery Day!” In 2005, Burke was one of three recipients of the All-America Football Foundation’s Gen. Robert R. Neyland Outstanding Athletic Director Award and that same year, was also tabbed as one of two Natchitoches Parish Cenla Newsmakers of 2005 by the Alexandria Town Talk newspaper’s editorial staff. He received the 2006 “Outstanding Alumni Award” from his alma mater, Marlington High School in Alliance, Ohio, recognizing his community service and professional achieve-ments. Burke became one of only 21 alumni honored since the award was instituted in 1982. In June 2006, he was a featured speaker and panelist at the National Association of Colle-giate Athletic Directors convention in New Orleans, addressing members of the College Ath-letic Business Managers of America and also participating in a panel discussion of “Fundrais-ing from an Athletic Director’s Perspective” speaking to the National Association of Athletic Development Directors. Since 2007, Burke has been a member of the prestigious NCAA Championships/Sports Management Cabinet, a 49-person panel which makes recommendations to the NCAA Board of Directors on key issues facing Division I athletics. He previously served a four-year term on the NCAA Division I Football Issues Commit-tee (1999-2002) and concurrently served a term on the eight-member NCAA FCS Committee that administers the national playoffs. Since his committee term expired, Burke has served as a site supervisor for Football Championship Subdivision playoff games across the nation and he is regarded as one of the country’s premiere advocates of FCS football. In 2004, NSU received the highest possible rating, “fully certified,” from the National Collegiate Athletic As-sociation, affirming that Northwestern operates its athletic program in substantial conformity with operating principles adopted by the NCAA Division I membership. Burke is a past president of the Natchitoches Kiwanis Club and remains active in that civic group. He has also been part of the steering committee for the Natchitoches Christmas Festival and is a former president of the Natchitoches Area Jaycees. He is involved with the American Heart Association and was 2010 March of Dimes chairman locally. He and his wife, Susu, is a Natchitoches native, NSU graduate and an elementary teacher. Their 17-year-old daughter, Catherine, is captain of the St. Mary’s High School cheerleading squad, in addition to being a point guard on the basketball team and a member of the tennis team.

Kyle Barnard has been named the interim athletic ticket manager and is also assisting with development. His duties include working with event management, external af-fairs, and alumni relations aside from his ticket manager needs. His career plans are to become an associate athletic director.

His first year at Northwestern State served as a graduate assistant for the department. While working with game day operations and marketing/promotions, he served on the diver-sity council for NSU during the NCAA recertification process. Kyle organized a NCAA diversity workshop for both coaches and players. Barnard received his undergraduate degree in kinesiology and fitness from Ouachita Bap-tist University. He was a 4 year letterman and a 3 year starter on the offensive line for the OBU football team. As a captain his junior and senior year, the team had their highest ranking in school history. He served as member and president of OBU’s Student-Athlete Advisory Com-mittee. While attending OBU, Kyle reached the dean’s list and was a member of IFC (Inter Fraternal Council) and also was a member of Rho Sigma men’s social club. His hometown is The Woodlands, Texas. In high school, he was named to the all-district and all-county teams at The Woodlands High School. Kyle also earned a power lifting letter. The son of Ron and Brenda Barnard, he was born Nov. 13, 1987, in Corpus Christi, Texas and has one brother, Conall. He is currently married to Brittany Barnard, a pediatric RN at Cabrini Hospital. Faculty Athletic Representative Jody Biscoe is Associate

Professor of Psychology and Addiction Studies at Northwestern State, where he is the coordinator for the undergraduate Addiction Studies, and Substance Abuse/Prevention concentrations. Since 2006, he has served as Faculty Athletic Representative for NSU. This role includes

the chair of the NSU Athletic Council. Since 2006, Northwestern State University has made numerous paradigm shifts in how it addresses the needs of student-athletes; however, one thing has been consistent in that its student-athletes are winners on the field and in the classroom. All have heard about higher educational institutions being penalized by the NCAA for academic improprieties. NSU has attempted to be a model program of “Doing Things the Right Way,” by following the Athletic Department motto: Great Tradition – Brighter Futures. This past year, NSU was one of only four schools in the State of Louisiana that did not receive any penalties for low NCAA Academic Progress Rates (APR) with baseball, soccer, softball, tennis, women’s indoor & outdoor track, and volleyball rating in the top three in the Southland Conference. Among the 40 Northwest-ern State student-athletes and athletic staff members who graduated in spring 2010, 10 of the 20 receiving undergraduate degrees graduated either cum laude or magna cum laude. Gradu-ation rates of student-athletes in soccer, volleyball, men’s basketball, baseball and football ranked in the top four of the Conference. These accomplishments could not have been achieved without the support and efforts of the student-athletes, coaches, faculty, and administration. Also, Jody is the Director for the Louisiana Addiction Technology Transfer Center at NSU. He has served on the National Addiction Technology Transfer Center’s (ATTC) - Practice and National Leadership Institute Committee. In addition, he has coordinated five nationally recog-nized leadership institutes for Louisiana, Texas and New Mexico and a member of the National ATTC Leadership Directors Committee. Recently, he was appointed to the NAADAC - National Addiction Studies & Standards Collaborative Committee. This past year, Jody was selected to serve on the United States Health and Human Services – Substance Abuse & Mental Health Service Administration Expert Panel concerning workforce issues. Jody’s married to his wife, Veronica (Roni), an avid runner, and daughter Roxy is a senior co-captain on the varsity cheerleading squad and Lady Tiger basketball team at St. Mary’s School. All are devoted Demon fans! Cary Bruno is the Assistant Academic Coordinator with over-

sight of the following sports: freshman football, softball, volleyball, men’s track and cross country, women’s track and cross country, and

women’s basketball. Cary is also the Director of the Enhanced Academic Program, a program that mentors academically underprepared student-athletes. Bruno also assists Carrie Crowell with the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee and the CHAMPS/Life Skills Program, which is designed to assist with the transition phase of college to work . Bruno was a member of the Lady Demon Softball team from 2005-2009. During her time at Northwestern State, her most memorable honors include the esteemed Southland Confer-ence Steve McCarty Citizenship Award as well as being selected as the Southland Conference Softball Student Athlete of the Year in 2008.

She also heads the Enhanced Academic Program which provides additional help for student-athletes and aids in maintaining a healthy and successful balance between academics and athletics. Crowell served an internship in the summer of 2008 with the Missouri Sports Hall of Fame, helping stage events supporting a Nationwide Tour golf tournament co-sponsored by the Hall. She also assisted in daily operations of the museum in Springfield, Mo., and helped stage the Missouri High School Basketball All-Stars Game. Crowell was a member of Alpha Lambda Delta honors society from 2005-2007, graduating in three years with a 3.74 grade point average. She made the SLC Commissioners’ Academic Honor Roll in the last three seasons she competed for NSU, capped by a 2006 season in which her defense helped the Lady Demons set a school record for least goals allowed per game. Crowell graduated with her Masters of Science in Sport Administration with a 4.0 GPA in May 2009.

Dustin Eubanks is in his 13th year in the NSU athletic de-partment and his 12th year at the helm of the compliance duties, keeping all athletic personnel current and in accordance with NCAA and Southland Conference guidelines.

A 1996 education graduate of Northwestern, the 38-year-old avid fan of all teams that hail from Pittsburgh seized an opportunity to serve as a graduate assistant in the sports informa-tion department at Northwestern while beginning the pursuit of his master’s degree in health and physical education (concentration in sports administration), which he obtained in May of 2003, and was impressive enough to earn a promotion to full-time status in November 1998. Eubanks is married to the former Dawn Hornsby of Branch and the couple has two daugh-ters, Emilie (16) and Taylor Nicole (5). The sisters share the same birthdate. Dustin and Dawn, who is the Associate Director of Financial Aid at NSU, will celebrated their eighth wedding anniversary this summer.

Roxanne Freeman began working at NSU in 1983 as an accounting clerk in business affairs. She transferred to the athletic department as football/baseball/track secretary and served under Sam Goodwin, Leon Johnson and several baseball coaches for eight seasons before graduating with a B.S. in accounting in May 1995.

Freeman then became the compliance coordinator and academic advisor during a three-year span before leaving in 1998. She returned to NSU in the Fall of 2000 in her current position as Business Manager where she now serves as liaison between the athletic department and business affairs. She has one son, Aaron Pizani, who is also an NSU alum.

Todd Garzarelli was named as the Associate Athletic Direc-tor for External Affairs in October 2011 after a successful three-year stint at Southern Illinois University-Edwardsville and will oversee all external areas at Northwestern State, including the NSU Athletic As-sociation.

Garzarelli came to Northwestern State from SIUE where he immediately made an impact on the SIUE Athletics Department in helping but the external unit from the ground up. During his short tenure, he signed the school’s first-ever apparel contract, helped launch a newly designed website, and worked to enhance the radio network that included online streaming for the first time. He also established a corporate sponsorship platform and a compreshensive annual fund and put together a major gift program and portfolio to enhance a $50 million capital campaign. Prior to SIUE, Garzarelli was at Northern Illinois University, where he served most recently as the Associate Athletic Director for Marketing, Corporate and Broadcast Relations. During his tenure at NIU, revenue in corporate sponsorship, tickets, licensing, hospitality and media trade all increased dramatically. Garzarelli also successfully negotiated and landed multi-year agreements with Chicago Sports Leader in radio WSCR 670 AM “The Score” and Comcast Sport-net Chicago which gave Huskie Athletics inmeasureable exposure in radio and television. In all, the Huskie football team played in more than 40 regional or national television broadcasts during his tenure. Garzarelli also established the first NIU All-Access platform on internet that streamed over 100 audio and video events annually. Before his time at NIU, Garzarelli previously worked as the Director of Marketing and Pro-motions at the United States Military Academy (Army) from 2001 to 2004. He also served as marketing associate at the University of Missouri during the 2000-2001 season. He spent one season at the Air Force Academy as a Marketing and Development Assistant and one season as an Assistant to the Director of External Affairs at Saint Francis (Penn.). At Army, he helped maintain an 18-station radio network that covered most of the U.S. market and assisted in a regional television agreement for Army football. He also played an instrumental part in landing Jeep as the Title Sponsor of the annual Army/Navy Football game. Army Athletics increased corporate sponsorships, tickets and overall attendance under Garzarelli’s watch. Garzarelli received a sport management degree from Slippery Rock University in 1998. He also earned a master’s in sport management from Northern Illinois in 2006. Garzarelli and his wife, Leah, have a five-year old daughter, Goia, and a two-year old son, Gabe.

After a brief hiatus from college athletics, Clay Shaw returns

to the profession as the new assistant for sport marketing and pro-motions at Northwestern State.

An Ohio native, the 2003 graduate of the University of Toledo earned his bachelor’s degree in graphic design with coursework in

business and marketing. He enrolled at Bowling Green University in 2006 to work towards a career in sports mar-keting and was a volunteer intern. He followed that with a marketing assistant internship at the University of New Mexico and the University of Tulsa.

He landed his first full-time job in college athletics as the promotions coordinator at Cali-fornia State University-Bakersfield. Shaw stepped away from college athletics to work in professional sports as a ticket repre-sentative for the Fresno Grizzlies Triple-A baseball team, and the NHL’s Tampa Bay Lightning. Prior to joining NSU, Shaw spent two years with Bisk Education as a representative of Villanova University Online.

Rocky Smith is in his first year as the Director of Athletic Facilities and Game Operations at NSU. Smith began his career as a student worker under Alan Pasch and progressed his way from student worker to graduate assistant to then assistant director. He has served as game manager for the majority of sports for

NSU along with special event management for the university. A native of Bedford, Texas and a graduate of Trinity High School, Smith earned his bach-elor’s degree in general studies from NSU and is currently pursuing his master’s degree in sports administration. At Trinity, he participated in gymnastics state and national competitions in rings, pommel horse, and parallel bars. In college, he was a part of the Spirit of Northwestern marching band as a bass trombonist and a four year rower. Smith is in his third year of being an assistant coach for the rowing team specializing in sculling. Born March 9th of 1986, he is the son of David and Robbie Smith and brother of younger sister Delayne Smith.

Scott Smith is no stranger to Northwestern State athletics. He has spent the last two years with the Lady Demon tennis program while working on a master’s degree. He joined the staff as an assistant coach and brought experience to the tennis program as a teaching pro and a head college coach.

From 2002-2004, Smith was a tennis teaching professional at the Raveneaux Country Club in Spring, Texas, as well as the Woodlands Country Club in Houston. The next two years he was the assistant coach at the University of the Ozarks from 2004-2006 and became the head coach at Ozarks from 2006-2008. He has been a tennis teaching professional at the Westside Tennis and Fitness Club in Houston since 2008 before joining Coach Patric Dubois on the NSU coaching staff in August 2009. Smith received his B.S. degree in business administration in 2007 from the University of the Ozarks. He received his associate’s degree in recreational leadership – Tennis Teaching from Tyler (Texas) Junior College in 2002. He is currently working on his master’s degree in sport administration here at Northwest-ern State.

While answering the first question at the July 15, 2000 press confer-ence announcing his hiring as basketball coach at Notre Dame, Mike Brey talked about his days playing college basketball for Tynes Hildebrand at Northwestern State. Brey, a two-year starter for the Demons, still ranks eighth at NSU in career assists with 311 from 1977-80, an average of 4.3 per game. He led the team as a sophomore with 180, still the fifth-best single-season total in school history. In the moments after being introduced as the new Notre Dame coach, Brey listed Hildebrand alongside Duke’s Mike Krzyzewski and Morgan Woo-ten, the legendary DeMatha High School coach, as major influences in his basketball philosophies. Brey played for Wooten, who helped Hildebrand recruit him. After college, Brey coached under Wooten, then moved to Duke and helped the Blue Devils reach six Final Fours and win two NCAA titles. Brey then took over as head coach at Delaware and was 99-52 there in five years before taking the Notre Dame job. When Brey took over, the Irish hadn’t been to the NCAA Tournament in 11 seasons. Now beginning his 12th season coaching the Irish, Brey has led Notre Dame to seven NCAA Tournaments, four first-round wins, and a trip to the 2003 Sweet Sixteen after winning the Big East Conference championship -- along with four NIT appearances. Last year, Brey won the U.S. Basketball Writers Association Henry Iba Coach of the Year Award as the national coach of the year after lead-ing the Fighting Irish to a No. 4 national ranking and a No. 2 seed in the NCAA Tournament. Adding in his time at Delaware, Brey has a streak of 14 straight postseason appearances, including nine NCAA Tournaments, and he has an overall 337-172 career record, 238-120 at Notre Dame.

Standing left to right are NSU’s retired numbers: Vernon Wilson, Charles “Red” Thomas, and Johnny McConathy.

5- CHARLES “RED” THOMASNorthwestern State’s first All-America basketball play-er, winning that honor in 1941. He later became head basketball coach at NSU and guided the Demons to an outstanding 129-76 (.629) record in seven years at the helm, never experiencing a losing season during his en-tire tenure. Also an excellent trackman, Thomas was enshrined into the Northwestern State Graduate “N” Club Hall of Fame in 1971.

14 - JOHNNY McCONATHYNorthwestern’s second All-America selection, the father of Demon baskeball coach Mike McConathy earned that distinction for his play during the 1951 season. McConathy set a school record for most points scored in a single season with 562 and a 21.6 average. He was invited to play in the College All-Star Game in Chicago and was the fifth pick in the first round of the 1951 NBA Draft by Syracuse. McConathy, who also participated in track at NSU, was a member of the 1973 class that was enshrined into the Graduate “N” Club Hall of Fame.

24 - VERNON WILSONNamed as an All-America in 1973, Wilson remains NSU’s all-time leader in average points-per-game with a career figure of 20.6 ppg, scoring 1,548 points in just 75 games. Wilson led the Demons in scoring during each of the 1971, ’72 and ’73 seasons, earning team MVP honors for those three years. Named the 1971 Gulf States Conference Rookie of the Year, first team all-Louisiana in ’72 and ’73, he was chosen to the first team of the NAIA District 30 squad that toured Israel while playing against that country’s Olympic team.

Northwestern State has a long, proud tradition of producing highly

successful basketball coaches Northwestern State University’s long tradition of producing educators is easily traced back to 1884. It was then that Louisiana State Normal School was formed and dedicated to the preparation of teachers. Coaches are, in the most fundamental sense of the word, teachers. They issue highly technical instructions, they constantly test their students, and they seek to inspire them. Basketball coaches at Northwestern have been doing it for almost a century now. These “teachers” have turned out hundreds of great students who have become successful coaches. The tradition of producing basketball coaches from within the Demon program goes back to: H. Lee Prather, Charles”Red” Thomas, Huey Cranford, Tynes Hildebrand, Wayne Yates, Don Beasley, Dan Bell, J.D. Barnett and continues today under Mike McConathy. NSU’s ac-claimed School of Health and Human Performance has produced many notable high school and college coaches. These coaches were taught by the likes of Buddy Bonnette and Jim Simmons. At last count the list of NSU graduates in the coaching ranks (past and present) in the sport of basketball is well over 500. Here is a partial list of some notable former Demon players and NSU graduates who have made impact in the coaching profession (please submit additions via e-mail to [email protected]):

One shot, years in the making, and making a difference for years to come. There’s obvious historic sports sig-nificance of the game-winning 3-point basket just before the buzzer by NSU’s Jermaine Wallace in the 2006 NCAA Tournament win over 15th-ranked Iowa. It’s burned into the history of March Mad-ness and is sure to reappear for years to come, in anticipation of more magic by underdog teams, and in comparison to fantastic finishes yet to be achieved. But the shot also has a more tan-gible impact at Northwestern, thanks to General Motors and its sponsorship of the Pontiac Game-Changing Perfor-mance contests awarding $100,000 to the university whose moment in each March Madness is voted by fans as the most spectacular play of that year’s NCAA Tournament. There is a $5,000 winner for each of the four weeks in the tournament, and the “final four” winners compete against each other before the fans vote determines the top prize winner during the national championship game. The funds are designated for use in the university’s general scholarship fund. Fans in 2006 picked the Wallace game-winner as the play of the tournament. GM Regional director Tim Hughes came to the NSU campus to present the $100,000 check to President Dr. Randy Webb, Coach Mike McConathy and the Demons. McConathy and a committee including university faculty and administrators set up guidelines for the money. McConathy and the group set up an endowment with the money, so that it would benefit students for decades to come. The “Wallace Pontiac Game Changing Performance Scholar-ship” is dedicated to undergraduate students who have attended college for at least four years in pursuit of their first undegraduate degree. The $750 per/semester award goes to students who meet criteria including:

• Leadership outside of the classroom • Participation and leadership in recognized student organizations, spirit groups, marching band, club sports or intercollegiate sports for athletes who have completed their eligibility • Community and university service

Already, 17 NSU students have been helped by the scholar-ship. One grateful recipient is Sandra Shirah, a non-traditional stu-dent from Pineville. She was a criminal justice major and single mother who graduated in December of 2007. Her daughter was a student at Louisiana College while her mother attended North-western. Shirah took her classes online as many NSU students do. She saw an e-mail notice about the scholarship sent to all NSU under-

graduates and applied for the scholarship. She had been affiliated with the Pineville police department for 20 years. She had a long list of community service activi-ties, including teaching resume development to inner city residents. “If not for the Wallace Pontiac scholarship, I would not have been able to complete getting my undergraduate degree without taking out another student loan,” she said. That’s just one shining example of how the shot that made Demons’ dreams come true in March Madness will do the same thing for generations of NSU students.

Coach Mike is a winning thoroughbred Mike McConathy is a winning coach, but Coach Mike is also a winning horse. Natchitoches native, NSU graduate and longtime Louisiana thoroughbred horse owner Firal Ryder, a season ticket holder, named one of his horses after the Demons’ coach. “Coach Mike” has lifetime earnings of more than $300,000. She – yes, that’s right, this “Coach Mike” is a filly – made her big splash two years ago at the Fair Grounds in New Orleans, wining a $50,000 allowance race, her second win. Coach Mc-Conathy and Mr. Ryder regularly attend races at Louisiana Downs in Bossier City.

They came back better basketball players. More important, James Hulbin and William Mosley came back as better men following summer Athletes In Action tours across the globe. Hulbin went to China, Mosley to Macedonia, two of the most ancient civilizations on Earth. The Northwestern State Demon basketball teammates, both natives of Shreveport, joined basketball teams presenting Christian ministries in unfamiliar lands to people in vastly different cultures. “It meant a lot to me. I was glad I got accepted,” said Mosley. “Being around basketball players with a strong Christian commitment, it was great all around. I loved it over there.” Said Hulbin: “We used basketball to get the message of Christian values across to people. It was good to have the opportunity and it was great to see how the people reacted to us. The love and support they gave us was amazing.” Spending time in ancient lands made Mosley and Hulbin appreciate the privileges that America provides. “They were very humble people. The stuff we take for granted is greatly valued by them,” said Hulbin, whose tour began in Beijing and included a trip to the Great Wall of China while the team spent most of its time in the Chinese countryside. “The small things to us are the biggest things in their lives. “Poor over here is doing alright there. If you’re poor in the parts of China we visited, you’re probably living in something like a tire shop. It is a very bare-bones lifestyle, but it’s all they know,” he said. Mosley’s observations of life in the Balkan peninsula near Greece and Serbia were similar. “The lifestyle is so different. The homes are old and too many of them are not in good shape. We’d see people without shoes, in really tough conditions, and it was sad to see a lot of things we came across,” he said. “From the food to the lifestyle, it was not what we take for granted. Our hotels seem like top of the line mansions compared to what we had to stay in over there. I was happy to be back, but I was happy for the experience, too,” Mosley said. “We were surrounded by good people everywhere we went. “We went to a couple of locations where there had been warfare, and we actually went to an arena where gladiators had fought back in ancient times. It was an unforgettable experience.” While taking in the culture and sights, Mosley and Hulbin developed their games, and their confidence. Mosley played on a team coached by Baylor assistants and including several Big XII players, including a pair from Kansas. They played against solid European competition. “Going over there, I found that anybody can play, no matter where you’re from. The guys from the big-time conferences are just like us. They love to play and it’s not about where you’re from, it’s what can you do,” said Mosley. As for the opponents, “they weren’t as physical as we are, but they had some great shooters, from 1-5. The trip helped me gain confidence offensively, and on my free throw shooting. It helped me out a lot.” It was a leap of faith, no pun intended, for the NSU players to join the tours. They are now huge proponents of the experience. “I really didn’t know about Athletes in Action, but when I got the material and found out more, I thought it would be a great experience and it was,” said Mosley. “The ‘wow moment’ for me was getting to know Mike Siegfrieds (of AIA), who is a great all-around person. The only person I can compare him to is Coach Mike because of their personalities and attitudes, how they handle people and situations, how caring they are, how Christian they are.” For Hulbin, whose sampling of the local fare revealed his taste for chicken hearts and chicken feet, lamb on a stick and kung pao chicken, the AIA tour was a life-changing journey. “It was a totally different culture. I never thought I’d have that experience,” he said. “I’d definitely go back. It was great, and anybody who has the opportunity to do it, I’d say don’t hesitate, go.”
