A DISTINGUISHED PRIVATE UNIVERSITY

The founding of New York University in 1831 by a group of eminent private citizens was a historic event in American education. In the early 19th century, a major emphasis in higher education was on the study of Greek and Latin, with little attention to modern or contemporary subjects. The founders of New York University intended to enlarge the scope of higher education to meet the needs of persons aspiring to careers in business, industry, science, and the arts, as well as law, medicine, and the ministry. The opening of the University of London in 1828 convinced New Yorkers that their city, too, should have a university. The first president of New York University's governing council, Albert Gallatin, and his co-founders said that the new university was to be a "national university" that would provide a "rational and practical education for all." The result of the founders' foresight is today an institution of higher education at the forefront of America's urban research universities. Of the more than 3,000 colleges and universities in America, New York University is one of the 58 private institutions that are members of the distinguished Association of American Universities. Among its stellar – and accessible – faculty are recipients of the Nobel, Abel, and Pulitzer Prizes; the MacArthur, Guggenheim, and Fulbright Fellowships; and Academy and Emmy Awards.

The University includes 14 schools, colleges, and divisions at six major centers in Manhattan. In addition, the University operates branch campus programs in Westchester County at Manhattanville College and in Rockland County at Dominican College. Students come to the University from all 50 states and 150 foreign countries, and when they arrive at NYU they find a remarkable "campus of the city." Twenty-six residence halls offer a warm and friendly home-away-from-home. In addition to encountering outstanding faculty in the classroom and an extraordinary range of academic resources, newcomers find themselves in a dynamic setting for study and learning. Violet banners colorfully mark the buildings housing NYU. Behind these banners are unsurpassed resources: eight libraries holding well over three million books; the Courant Institute of Mathematics; Tisch School of the Arts; the Institute of Fine Arts; cultural and foreign language centers; sophisticated computer facilities; and art galleries. These resources, among many others, blend with the educational environment of one of the greatest cities in the Western World. New York City – the international center of finance, culture and communications – offers unmatched internship possibilities and job opportunities. Student life centers around Washington Square in the heart of historic Greenwich Village. More than 350 NYU clubs and organizations provide students with the opportunity to share interests and discover new ones. When not busy with university life, students can also explore the narrow, winding streets of the Village and discover shops and boutiques, restaurants and cafes, theatres and galleries. The Jerome S. Coles Sports & Recreation Center and the Palladium Athletic Facility enable all NYU students – from varsity athletes to those wishing to swim or workout between classes – to take part in an active sports program. For those who are sports fans, these venues offer exciting athletic events pitting NYU teams against their competitors, many of whom are members of the University Athletic Association, a league of eight major urban research universities with an emphasis on academic achievement, stretching from Brandeis University in Boston to Emory University in Atlanta. The success of New York University graduates can be seen in their exceptional record of admission to the nation's most prestigious graduate and professional schools; in the number of careers launched; and in the achievements of alumni who are leaders in business, government and the arts - every

sphere of public life.

Christopher Bledsoe became New York University’s Director of Athletics, Intramurals and Recreation in September 1996. Prior to joining NYU, he served as the Director of Athletics and Intramurals at Pace University in Pleasantville, NY, from 1988-1996. Bledsoe directs a department whose varsity sports program, which competes within NCAA Division III, has risen to 21 teams with the addition of women’s golf in 2007-08. There are also 26 intercollegiate club teams comprising over 1,250 student-athletes, a recreation course program enrolling over 11,000 persons each year and an intramural program with over 8,500 participants annually. Bledsoe’s department also manages and operates the Jerome S. Coles Sports and Recreation Center and the Palladium Athletic Facility, which are utilized by over 4,000 patrons each day. The 2007-08 athletic season was one of the best in Violets history. NYU’s men’s cross country team captured its first-ever NCAA Division III National Championship, while the men’s swimming and diving (9th) and wrestling (12th) teams earned their best-ever finishes at their respective national tournaments. Overall, the Violets finished #31 in the NACDA (National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics) Directors’ Cup. The 2006-07 season was also an extremely successful one for NYU varsity sports, as the program rose to a high of #5 of 440 schools in the NACDA Directors’ Cup in the final 2007 winter rankings before finishing the year an all-time best #14. That success was based mainly on the strength of the men’s cross country team’s national runner-up finish and Final Four appearances by the men’s soccer team and the women’s basketball team. In addition, the men’s indoor track & field team (10th), the men’s swimming & diving team (15th), and the combined men’s and women’s fencing squad (19th) all finished among the top-20 at their respective national championships. Under Bledsoe’s leadership, NYU was honored as the 2006 ECAC (Eastern College Athletic Conference) Jostens Institution of the Year, an award presented annually to the ECAC institution that “best exemplifies the highest standards of collegiate academics and athletic performance.” Bledsoe, who earned a bachelor of science degree from Fairfield University in 1980 and a MBA from Pace in 1992, was also a director of the Metropolitan Intercollegiate Basketball Association (MIBA), the former sponsoring body of the National Invitation Tournament (NIT).

head coach JOE NESCI21st Season • 353-164 (.683)

Brooklyn college (‘79)

Joe Nesci is in his 21st season as head coach of the New York University men’s basketball program. During his time as the Violets’ bench boss, Nesci has led his squads to 19 winning seasons, 13 postseason appearances – including seven straight NCAA Division III Men’s Basketball Championship trips from 1992-98, as well as the 2007 Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC) Division III Metro Tournament title – and to a 353-164 (.683) overall record. Last season, Nesci won his 350th game when the Violets defeated Case Western Reserve University, 64-54, before 1,914 fans at the Jerome S. Coles Sports Center on Feb. 8. He is the program’s pacesetter in coaching winning percentage and trails only NYU Hall of Famer Howard Cann in career victories (411) and games coached (641). In 2007-08, Nesci took a young and unproven squad and developed them into one of the surprise teams in the competitive University Athletic Association (UAA). NYU went 16-11, including a 6-8 UAA mark, and advanced to the ECAC Tournament semifinals after earning a fourth postseason invitation in five years. Last season included a thrilling 92-85, double-overtime victory over the University of Rochester, then ranked #6 nationally, at the Coles Sports Center on Feb. 17.

Nesci’s role in developing the trio of senior guard Charlie Parker, junior center John Mish and sophomore forward Keith Jensen helped them earn a spot on the UAA All-Association Honorable Mention squad. Additionally, the freshman tandem of forward Richie Polan and guard D.J. Glavan became key members of the Violets’ rotation, with Polan emerging as a starter. Off the court, six Violets earned UAA Winter Sport All-Academic honors. Once again, Nesci fielded an outstanding defensive squad last winter, as NYU ranked 18th nationally in scoring defense, allowing just 62.4 points per game. In 2006-07, the Violets led all of NCAA Division III in field-goal percentage defense (35.4) and rebounding margin (+10.5 rpg) en route to going 22-6 (8-6 UAA) and capturing the ECAC Metro Tournament championship – the first postseason title in program history. For his efforts in 2006-07, Nesci captured National Invitation

Tournament (NIT)/Metropolitan Basketball Writers Association (MBWA) Division III and Basketball Coaches Association of New York Coach of the Year honors. That season, center Jason Boone became the program’s first All-American in 40 years when he earned D3hoops.com Third Team accolades. In addition, Boone and swingman Michael DeCorso became the 13th and 14th Violets, respectively, under Nesci to finish their careers with more than 1,000 points. Nesci, along with fellow NYU coaching greats Cann and Lou Rossini, holds the distinction of having led his team to the NCAA Final Four. After winning the UAA Championship and a school-record 25 games, he led the Violets to the 1993-94 NCAA Division III National Championship Finals, where they fell 66-59 in overtime to Lebanon Valley College. Nesci was honored by the MBWA as its Division III Coach of the Year for the third consecutive season after earning Co-Coach of the Year honors the previous two seasons. In addition, he and his assistants were named UAA Coaching Staff of the Year for the second consecutive season after successfully defending their 1992-93 title. The 1994-95 season may well have offered the strongest evidence of Nesci’s impressive coaching skills. After losing all five starters from the 1993-94 team, Nesci took an inexperienced group of players and led them to a 22-5 record that included a

first-round NCAA Tournament win. Nesci, whose NYU head-coaching career began during the middle of the 1988-89 season, posted his milestone 300th career victory on Nov. 26, 2005, against Elmira College (81-40). After joining the NYU staff as an assistant coach in June 1984, Nesci took over as head coach in Jan. 1989. That squad went 6-5 under his guidance and 16-12 overall. Nesci began his coaching career at Xavier High School in Manhattan, where he was also Chairman of Physical Education from 1982-87. A 1979 graduate of Brooklyn College with a degree in health, Nesci and his wife Jane have three children: Alyssa, who graduated from NYU in 2008; Andrew, who currently attends NYU, and Amanda. The family resides on Staten Island, NY.

Sean Grant is in the first year of his second tenure as an assistant coach with the New York University men’s basketball program. Grant began his coaching career with the Violets after graduating from NYU in 2002, serving two years as an assistant under head coach Joe Nesci from 2002-04 while helping with recruiting, practice preparation, player development, and scouting. He also was the head coach of the NYU junior varsity program in 2003-04. Grant’s most recent stop was a two-year stint at Washington and Lee University (2006-08). He coordinated the Generals’ recruiting, assisted in the planning of team practices and supervised the strength and conditioning program. In 2007-08, Grant was part of the Old Dominion Athletic Conference (ODAC) Coaching Staff of the Year as Washington and Lee reached the ODAC Tournament quarterfinals. Prior to his tenure at Washington and Lee, Grant assisted former NYU assistant coach Tom Satran at Connecticut College (2004-06). He helped the Camels with recruiting and skill development. Grant graduated from NYU’s Steinhardt School of Education with a degree in early childhood and elementary education. A four-year player for the Violets’ men’s basketball team, he was a three-time University Athletic Association Winter Sport All-Academic honoree and a recipient of the NYU Scholar-Athlete Award. A native of Bethany, CT, Grant resides in Brooklyn, NY.

John Pelin is in his first season as an assistant coach with the New York University men’s basketball program. Most recently, Pelin served two years as an assistant coach at Drew University (2006-08), where he assisted in all facets of the Rangers’ program. Prior to beginning his coaching career, Pelin was a four-year player for the Gettysburg College basketball team. During his playing days, the Bullets earned one NCAA Division III Men’s Basketball Championship appearance and two Eastern College Athletic Conference Division III South Tournament invitations. A 2005 graduate of Gettysburg with a degree in management, Pelin is a native of Brockport, NY, and resides in Manhattan.

Kevin Wenk is in his third season as an assistant coach with the New York University men’s basketball program. In 2007-08, Wenk helped an inexperienced group entering the season emerge as one of the surprise teams in the University Athletic Association (UAA). NYU went 16-11 (6-8 UAA) and advanced to the semifinals of the Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC) Division III Metro Tournament. In 2006-07, Wenk was part of a coaching staff that led the Violets to a 22-6 record and the ECAC Division III Metro Championship, the first post-season title in program history. A 1996 graduate of Bucknell University with a degree in economics, Wenk was a four-year member, a two-year starter and a two-time captain of the Bison basketball team. He twice won Bucknell’s Malcom Musser Award for Leadership. Ironically, Wenk played two seasons under head coach Pat Flannery, whose Lebanon Valley College team defeated current NYU head coach Joe Nesci’s Violets in the 1994 NCAA Division III Championship Game. Wenk played both the point guard and shooting guard positions for Bucknell, and contributed on the defensive end by routinely being assigned to cover the opposition’s main offensive weapon. He quickly established a reputation for himself as a formidable opponent with his toughness, drive to win and invaluable leadership. Wenk, who also currently works as a Director in the Municipal Markets Division for Merrill Lynch in Manhattan, enrolled at NYU and earned a MBA in finance from the Leonard N. Stern School of Business’ Langone (evening) Program in 2003. A native of Vienna, VA, Wenk resides on the Upper West Side of Manhattan.

One of New York City’s most visible basketball greats, Cal Ramsey is in his 26th season as a member of the Violets’ basketball staff. Ramsey, who also served NYU as Assistant Director of Alumni Relations for 20 years, received the NYU President’s Alumni Achievement Award in 2004 for his contributions to his alma mater. “Cal’s wealth of experience is a big plus for our program,” said head coach Joe Nesci. “He is always there for our players, both on and off the court.” A 1959 graduate of NYU’s School of Commerce with a degree in business administration, Ramsey earned All-America status as a senior. He still holds a number of Violet hoop records, including rebounds in a game (34 vs. Boston College), season rebound average (19.6), career rebounds (1,101), and career rebound average (17.5). He is eighth on NYU’s all-time scoring list with 1,275 points. Following his collegiate career, Ramsey moved on to play for the NBA’s St. Louis Hawks, New York Knicks and Syracuse Nationals. He currently works for the Knicks as Director of Special Events and Community Relations Representative. Also a former television commentator for the Knicks and the City University of New York, and a radio analyst for St. John’s University, Ramsey was inducted into the NYU Athletics Hall of Fame in 1978 and into the New York City Basketball Hall of Fame in 1994. Ramsey’s dedication, service and contributions to the New York City basketball scene have not gone unnoticed. In 2002, he received the National Invitation Tournament’s (NIT) Man of the Year Award, while in April 2005, he received the Distinguished Service Award from the Metropolitan Basketball Writers’ Association (MBWA). Currently, Ramsey serves on the advisory board of the Frank McGuire Foundation, which provides grants to high school coaches who exemplify the spirit and qualities that McGuire displayed during his coaching career. Ramsey is also on the Board of Trustees for the Children’s Aid Society and is a member of the Friar’s Club. A native of Selma, AL, Ramsey resides in Manhattan.

COACHING STAFF


Entering his 21st season as head coach of the New York University men’s basketball team, Joe Nesci knows the value of patience. Indeed, patience has been central to his coaching philosophy the last couple of seasons. Last year, Nesci (who sports a 363-164, .683 career record) took a team that returned only one starter from 2006-07 (a team that went 22-6) and guided it to a 16-11 finish. The record included a 6-8 mark in the highly-competitive University Athletic Association (UAA) and a trip to the semifinals of the Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC) Division III Metropolitan Championship Tournament. Heading into this season, the Violets return two of three players who started every game last season: juniors Omar Meziab and Keith Jensen (the since-graduated Charlie Parker was the third). Several veteran players who have received significant playing time also return, including senior captain John Mish, senior co-captain Bill Morrissey, junior Zachary Kuba, and sophomores Richie Polan, D.J. Glavan and Derek Becker. So there should be reason for optimism among Violets fans, according to Nesci. “I like the way we’re working together,” Nesci said. “The players are doing a good job of building chemistry. I’m pleased with the effort so far.” Nesci will look to his returning players to lead the way. In that regard, the 6-foot-2 Meziab will be one of the key men for the Violets. Last year, he averaged 6.4 points per game, boasted an assist to turnover ratio of almost 2-to-1 (63 assists, 32 turnovers), and made an impact on the defensive end with 25 steals. “We’re expecting a higher level of consistency from Omar,” Nesci said. “Last year, he showed some overall improvement and gave us solid play.” Meziab’s likely partner in the backcourt will be the 6-0 Glavan, who shot 50% from the field (51-102) as a reserve last season, averaging 19.5 minutes per game. “D.J. played valuable minutes last year for us, and he’ll definitely challenge for a starting spot,” Nesci explained. Another prominent backcourt player for the Violets will be the 6-0 Becker. He only played 8.8 minutes per game last season, but did appear

in 23 games and should see his workload increase this season. “Derek was a key reserve for us last season,” Nesci said. “He played well in limited minutes, and we’re counting on him to contribute more this season.” The Violets’ main strength should be their frontcourt, beginning with Meziab’s partner in the 27-starts club, the 6-4 Jensen. The San Diego native was the Violets’ leading scorer last season, averaging 10.9 points per game. He led the team in scoring six times, cracking the 20-point barrier in three of those games. His highest scoring effort came on Feb. 10 when he poured in 23 points in a 76-69 win over Emory University. “He’s a solid frontcourt player and a good defender,” said Nesci of Jensen, who also averaged 4.1 rebounds per game. But the coach saves his most effusive praise for his seniors, particularly the 6-5 Mish, who led the team in scoring in each of the last five games of the season. He recorded the team’s highest point total (24) of the season in the Violets’ 63-58 win at Carnegie Mellon University on Jan. 20. Overall, Mish shot 56.4% (101-179) from the field. “John had a tremendous second half for us in UAA play and down the stretch,” Nesci said. “He was our most valuable player and our most consistent player by the end of the season.” The 6-8 Morrissey is also expected to play a larger role by the end of the season. He averaged only 5.2 minutes in 18 games last year. “We have two great role models in our seniors,” Nesci offered. “Both John and Bill have great work ethics. They’ve done a tremendous job thus far.” Polan will be another key 6-8 presence in the frontcourt. As a freshman, he played in all 27 games, started 22 times, averaged 9.1 points, and returns as the team’s leading rebounder (5.5 rpg). “Richie can rebound and is a very skilled perimeter player, as well,” said Nesci of Polan, who shot almost as well from beyond the arc (43.5%, 47-108) as he did overall from the field (46.3%, 88-190). Kuba is another returnee with solid experience. The 6’4” swingman played in 25 games last season and averaged 6.3 points and 2.8 rebounds per game.

Another group that might see an increase in playing time this season will be the foursome of 6-2 sophomore guard Andrew Baker, 6-3 junior guard Danny McMahon, 6-3 junior guard Chip Borsi, and 6-8 junior center Clayton Taibi. All of them saw limited playing time last season. “My expectation is that this group will continue to improve and be ready to go at the start of the season,” Nesci noted. “They’ll have to play hard on both offense and defense. So far, I like what I see from our reserves.” The freshman class may also provide depth for the Violets. In the backcourt, 6-1 Jude Dworaczyk and 6-2 Allen Tate are “all-around solid guards who play hard and are ready to compete for possible playing time,” according to Nesci. Up front, 6-6 Ben Dorman is “a versatile forward who can play both inside and out,” while the 6-8 Andy Stein “is physically ready to compete every day in practice and will provide depth at center as the season begins,” Nesci suggested. The season opens on Nov. 15 when NYU takes on the University of Redlands at the Kean University Classic. The home schedule begins Nov. 22 as the Violets host Baruch College in the opening round of the annual NYU Tip-off Tournament. The team begins another grueling UAA season on Jan. 9 against Carnegie Mellon. In keeping with the theme of patience, Nesci won’t set any specific goals for this season, saying that simple progress is enough. “The goals for this season will be to show patience with this young team with an eye towards continuing to improve throughout the season,” Nesci revealed. “Though we are still a young team, we do have more experience this season than last and we will continue to work hard. I feel that we’ll be a good team and improve our play throughout the season.” Junior Keith Jensen is NYU’s leading returning scorer.

“i like the way we’re working together. The players are doing a good job of building chemistry. I’m pleased with the effort so far.”

2007-08: A LOOK BACK

The 2007-08 New York University men’s basketball team could best be characterized by its ability to defy the odds, skeptics and its own inexperience to earn its fourth postseason appearance in the past five seasons. While head coach Joe Nesci fielded one of the youngest teams of his 20-year tenure, the Violets managed to go 16-11, including a 6-8 mark against an arduous University Athletic Association (UAA) schedule, and reach the Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC) Division III Metropolitan Tournament semifinals. Most importantly, Nesci saw significant growth from a roster possessing scant varsity experience. After averaging 6.7 minutes per game as a rookie, sophomore forward Keith Jensen (10.9 ppg, 4.1 rpg, 38.8 3FG%) emerged as one of the best young all-around talents in the UAA, earning Honorable Mention All-UAA notice after leading NYU in scoring. Junior center John Mish (9.8 ppg, 5.0 rpg, 56.4 FG%) might have been the biggest revelation of all the Violets, starting the final 11 games and eventually earning Honorable Mention All-UAA accolades after playing sparingly at the start of the season. He scored in double digits in 14 of his final 15 games, with his breakthrough performance coming when he netted 24 points as NYU overcame a 15-point deficit to defeat the #24 ranked Carnegie Mellon University, 63-58, on Jan. 20 in Pittsburgh. Joining Jensen and Mish among the starting five were sophomore guard Omar Meziab, who played just 19 minutes in 2006-07 after being promoted from the junior varsity, and freshman Richie Polan. Meziab (6.4 ppg, 83.6 FT%) provided steady play in the backcourt and tallied 17 points in his first collegiate start in a 61-53 win over Framingham State College on Nov. 17. Meanwhile, the 6-8 Polan emerged as one of the top newcomers in Division III with his sharp outside shooting and solid rebounding. Polan poured in 22 points against then-#2 ranked Brandeis University on Jan. 12, then scored 20 to spark a 92-85, double-overtime upset of then-#6 University of Rochester on Feb. 17 at the Jerome S. Coles Sports Center. Others who developed into valued contributors included 6-4 sophomore forward Zachary Kuba (6.3 ppg, 2.8 rpg), one of the few returning Violets who saw action in 2006-07. Kuba scored all 20 of his points after halftime in the thrilling victory over Rochester, including a three-pointer late in the first overtime to force the decisive second extra session. Meanwhile, freshmen guards D.J. Glavan (4.7 ppg, 50.0 FG%) and Derek Becker (2.0 ppg, 63.3 FG%) showed the type of defensive tenacity that inspired Nesci to keep them on the court late in games. Glavan also proved he could score with the ball, as his 23-point performance in a 70-54 win over Endicott College on Dec. 9 attested. Junior Bill Morrissey (1.1 ppg, 1.3 rpg), a 6-8 center,

Senior Charlie Parker ranked second in scoring on the Violets and earned Honorable Mention All-UAA accolades.

became a trusted low-post option off the pine late in the season. Senior co-captains Charlie Parker and Michael Magee entered the campaign as the two Violets who had seen extended varsity action, and they helped lead the team to respective winning streaks of seven and five

games. An Honorable Mention All-UAA selection at guard, Parker (10.4 ppg, 83.3 FT%) was named the Most Valuable Player of the NYU Holiday Tournament (Dec. 29-30), hit for 18 points in the triumph over Rochester and ended up fifth all-time in three-point field-goal percentage (39.3). Meanwhile, Magee (7.8 ppg, 6.1 rpg), a 6-9 pivot, enjoyed his best season statistically before an injury sidelined him for the second half of the year.

UNIVERSITY ATHLETIC

ASSOCIATION New York University is a member of the University Athletic Association (UAA). Organized in 1986, the UAA is a unique group of universities dedicated to running competitive athletic programs while maintaining academic standards of the highest quality. The eight members of the UAA are committed to a philosophy that values athletics as an integral part of the student’s total education and believes that excellence in athletics and academics are not mutually exclusive. Accordingly, NYU student-athletes are treated the same as other students in admissions, financial aid, and academic policies. In addition, all men’s and women’s sports receive equal emphasis. The other members of the UAA, all private research universities with undergraduate, graduate, and professional programs, are: Brandeis University (Waltham, MA); Carnegie Mellon University (Pittsburgh, PA); Case Western Reserve University (Cleveland, OH); the University of Chicago (Chicago, IL); Emory University (Atlanta, GA); the University of Rochester (Rochester, NY); and Washington University (St. Louis, MO). The University Athletic Association sponsors competition in 22 sports — 12 sports for men and 10 sports for women —- including football, soccer, cross country, volleyball, basketball, fencing, wrestling, swimming & diving, indoor track & field, outdoor track & field, tennis, golf, softball, and baseball. During the 2007-08 season, the NYU men’s cross country team won its second consecutive UAA Championship en route to capturing its first-ever NCAA Division III National Championship. The wrestling team earned its fourth UAA championship. The men’s golf team, as did both the men’s and women’s swimming & diving teams, placed third at their respective championship events. Overall, NYU has collected 38 UAA Championships in seven different sports since the Association’s inception in 1986.

NYC BASKETBALL HALL OF FAMERS

NYU has always had a rich history tied to the game of basketball. Several student-athletes enjoyed stellar collegiate careers, with several moving on to play in the National Basketball Association. The New York City Basketball Hall of Fame has recognized 11 past NYU greats who have made a significant contribution to the sport either by playing or coaching. The goal of the Hall of Fame is to help younger generations of players become better competitors while also cultivating their academic and personal lives off the court.

OUR FACILITIES

The Jerome S. Coles Sports and Recreation Center, which opened in September 1981, is the hub of recreational and athletic needs for the University’s students, faculty, staff, and alumni. Each year, the facilities accommodate a wide range of individual and group recreational sports and fitness activities, including over 1,000 different courses at various skill levels serving 11,000 participants, as well as club sports and an intramural program enjoyed by approximately 8,500 students. The Center also serves as the primary home of the University’s 21-sport intercollegiate athletic program. The operating schedule of the Center provides every member of the University community with an opportunity to participate in these activities, or to make use of open space for individual workouts. The Center also has played host to the following events: NCAA Basketball National Championships, NCAA Regional Wrestling Championships, NCAA Regional Fencing Championships, NCAA Regional Volleyball Championships, ECAC Regional Basketball Championships, Metropolitan Wrestling Championships, International Wrestling events, International Fencing Association Championships, University Athletic Association Championships in several sports, and the National Collegiate Tae Kwon Do Championships. The Center is located at 181 Mercer Street (between Bleecker and Houston streets), covers 142,000 square feet and has four levels (roof, lobby, natatorium, and fieldhouse). Recently, NYU undertook extensive renovations of the rooftop, including the removal of the previous roof system, replacement of the roof ’s water proofing membrane, installation of a new state-of-the-art tennis and track surface, and extension of the three-lane sprint running course. Up to 3,000 members use the facility daily. Approximately 1,900 spectators can be seated in the fieldhouse bleachers and 230 can be seated in the natatorium bleachers. The Center is barrier-free and accessible to physically challenged persons. Several of NYU's varsity teams play their home games/matches at Coles: men's & women's basketball, men's & women's fencing, men's & women's volleyball, and men's wrestling.

The Palladium Athletic Facility (PAF), located on East 14th Street near Union Square, is the latest in cutting-edge sports complexes designed to feel like a private health club. The facility boasts an aerodynamically designed, L-shaped, deep-water pool, perfect for anything from swimming laps to varsity-level competition. Some of the highlights of the PAF, which opened in the fall of 2002, include a 3,140 square-foot weight room complete with free weights, selectorized machines and a FitLinxx workout system. The Fitlinxx system is a series of weight-lifting machines connected to a com-puter network that not only tells one how fast to pump, but also remembers previous workouts and weight-settings. The PAF also features a 3,433 square-foot aerobic fitness room dedicated to cardio equipment, which includes treadmills, elliptical trainers and exercycles. Each machine is outfit-ted with consoles into which patrons can plug their own headphones to receive audio from the nine TV stations playing in the room or the eight commercial-free cable radio stations. From this environment, one can move to the 30-foot-high climbing center or to the group cycling

room. The main gym can be used for either volleyball or basketball. The auxiliary gym is outfitted with a high-tech sound system and progressive fitness equipment, such as exercise balls and body bars, making it the perfect haven for recreation classes. In addition, it has two half-sized basketball courts, which can be utilized when recreation classes are not in session.
