UNC Asheville is a selective, public liberal arts institution. UNC Asheville’s Intercollegiate Athletics Program reflects the attitudes and values underlying the University’s overall mission: academic excellence, diversity, equity, integrity, service, and accomplishment. The UNC Asheville athletics program contributes to this liberal arts culture in two ways. First, athletics programs foster a sense of community and pride by fielding NCAA Division I teams and developing talented student-athletes who successfully represent UNC Asheville in competition and reflect the University’s commitment to overall excellence. Accordingly, the athletics program encourages an atmosphere of respect for self and others through the development of ethical conduct, sportsmanship, leadership, and citizenship and provides equitable opportunities for all students and staff, including women, minorities and indivduals of all sexual identities. Second, the program provides an additional campus experience for capable students to grow and develop academically, personally, socially, and athletically. This experience promotes institutional commitment and pride on the part of students, faculty, staff, and alumni.

This year the UNC Asheville Bulldogs want to be good for a whole season, not just half the year.

Last season, the Bulldogs got off to an extremely slow start and reached the halfway point of the season with a 3-12 overall record. Asheville lost its first six games, won its next three, and then hobbled to the midway point with another six-game losing streak.

Eddie Biedenbach’s club turned things around though. The Bulldogs went 12-4 the rest of the year and advanced to the semifinals of the Big South Con-ference Tournament for the fourth straight season. Asheville tied a school record for conference wins with 11 and finished in fourth place in the final league stand-ings. The Bulldogs were an overtime loss at Winthrop away from finishing in second place.

It was an amazing turnaround but Biedenbach, the all-time winningest coach in the Big South Conference, wants Asheville to be ready from the start in 2010-11.

“Hopefully with experience and maturity, we can avoid the slow start that we had last season,” stated Biedenbach. “Remember, we were still a pretty young team last year and sometimes you have to go through some growing pains when you’re young. We hope to be a little more consistent from the start this season.”

The Bulldogs have a chance to be a good team in 2010-11. Asheville returns four starters and 11 letter-men from last year’s club. Biedenbach’s club returns four of its top five scorers and a talented recruiting class could make the Dogs a real factor in the Big South Conference race.

“On paper, we measure up to be one of the teams to beat in the Big South,” explained Biedenbach. “How-ever, I think there are about six teams that could win the league this year. I’ve seen in some magazines that we’ve been picked to win the conference, while others have us finishing in fifth or sixth place. We won’t know until we start playing some games.

“I believe we have the makings of a high-quality basketball team that can compete for a champion-ship,” added Biedenbach. “We need to be injury-free at certain positions, and we also need for some of our younger players to step up and make an impact.”

GUARDS

Asheville should have one of the best backcourts in the Big South this year. The Bulldogs return juniors’ J.P. Primm and Matt Dickey. Primm and Dickey have been key players for Asheville since they were freshmen. Both learned a lot last season that should help them to be even better this year.

J.P. Primm

Primm emerged as Asheville’s leading scorer a year ago with a 12.5 average. He also led the Bulldogs in as-sists (172) and steals (64). Primm worked hard over the summer and was the MVP of a Knoxville (TN) sum-mer league. He’ll be even better as a junior.

2010-11 UNC ASHEVILLE BASKETBALL PREVIEW

“J.P. had a good year last season but has worked very hard to improve on his game and he’s done that,” declared Biedenbach. “He was a quarterback on his high school football team and you can see those lead-ership qualities with our team. J.P has a chance to be one of the top guards in the Big South this season.”

Matt Dickey

Dickey was Asheville’s second leading scorer last season with an 11.5 average. He was second in assists (116) and in steals (36). Dickey struggled in the early part of the year after a foot injury from his freshman campaign.

“Matt improved greatly last year and really did a nice job battling back from his foot injury,” commented Biedenbach. “He’s a tough player who can score in a lot of different ways.

“Matt and J.P. could be one of the best guard combi-nations in the Big South,” added Biedenbach. “We need to keep them healthy this year as those two will be a big part of our success.”

6-2 freshman guard Trent Meyer comes to Asheville via Windermere Prep School in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. Biedenbach has high hopes for the rookie.

“Trent is a very promising freshman,” said Bieden-bach. “He’s a great shooter with outstanding range. He’s also an excellent athlete that we’re counting on this season.”

Sophomore Madison Davis gives the Bulldogs some depth in the backcourt. The walk-on is a hard worker who played in five games a year ago.

“Madison gives us everything he can give us,” stated Biedenbach. “We’re hoping he can contribute in games, like he does in practice.”

Red-shirt freshman Josh Seligson learned a lot last season in practice.

“Josh turned into a good practice player and worked hard to make everyone better,” explained Biedenbach. “He has a great attitude and work ethic.”

FORWARDS

The Bulldogs return some talent in the front court.

Junior Chris Stephenson became Asheville’s starter at the small forward spot and had a solid year. He ended up being the Bulldogs’ fifth leading scorer with a 9.6 mark and grabbed 5.1 rebounds per game. Stephen-son made some big shots for the Bulldogs in 2009-10, including a tap-in at the buzzer to give Asheville a win at Gardner-Webb.

“Chris is a multi-talented wing who can play both in the front court and back court,” declared Biedenbach. “He’s matured into a good player, and we expect a lot from him this season.”

BULLDOGS LOOK TO PICK UP WHERE THEY LEFT OFF

Sophomore Jaron Lane was one of the big reasons the Bulldogs caught fire in the second half of the year.

He averaged 6.3 points per game as a freshman and showed some real flashes of brilliance for Asheville down the stretch.

“Jaron is a player who can play either in the front court or back court,” explained Biedenbach. “He learned a lot last season and I believe he’s poised to be a major cog for this year’s team.”

6-6 freshman Toles Hartman comes to Asheville from North Cross HS in Christiansburg, Va. Bieden-bach is excited to have him as a part of the program.

“Toles is a talented player who has great range and a lot of athletic ability,” stated Biedenbach. “I believe he’s one of the best forwards we’ve brought into the program in a long time. We’re looking for some great things from Toles.”

Quinard Jackson is a junior who has steadily im-proved each season. He stared in four games and aver-aged 3.1 points per game, while shooting 50 percent from the field (37-of-74).

“We believe that Quinard is ready to be a major contributor,” declared Biedenbach. “He’s much quicker and more mobile than he’s ever been.”

One of only two seniors on this year’s roster is second team All-Conference selection John Williams. The Raleigh native averaged 11.5 points per game a year ago and tied for the team lead in rebounding with a 6.7 mark. He became the school’s all-time career lead in blocked shots last season and enters this year fourth on the Big South’s all-time career list with 209. Williams is one of the most exciting players in the Big South with his dunks and blocked shots. He shot 58 percent from the field in the 2009-10 season.

John Williams

“John has had a remarkable career here at UNC Asheville and is one of the real high flyers in the Big South,” stated Biedenbach. “He’s improved every year, and we expect to have an All-Conference type of sea-son for us this year.”

Junior College product Jon Nwannu (pronounced Wah-new-new) comes to Asheville from Vincennes Ju-nior College in Indiana.

“Jon is quite explosive around the basket and brings us a lot of energy,” said Biedenbach. “How he adjusts to Division I basketball we’ll determine his playing time.”

CENTER

Asheville has some options in the pivot this year.

Senior Eric Stubbs is a player who has steadily shown improvement with each year. He started five times last season and gave the Bulldogs some good work in the final games of the year.

“Eric has improved with each year and has gained strength and maturity,” pointed out Biedenbach. “We’re hoping for a little more consistency from him. We be-lieve Eric’s ready to make a bigger contribution in his senior season.”

D.J. Cunningham

Sophomore D.J. Cunningham became a solid player for the Bulldogs as a freshman. He rapidly improved throughout the season and then overcame a mid-sea-son injury. Cunningham averaged 8.1 points per game and tied for the team lead in rebounding with John Wil-liams with a 6.7 average. He shot 48.5 percent (90-of-185) from the field.

“We’re going to depend on D.J. all year long for scoring and rebounding,” explained Biedenbach. “I re-ally believe he’s one of the most talented post player that we’ve had at Asheville in a while. D.J. has a super attitude, and we expect him to be an all-conference player before he leaves here.”

Jeremy Harn is a red-shirt sophomore walk-on who is hard worker and makes everyone better with his work ethic.

“Jeremy has a great attitude who works extremely hard every day,” said Biedenbach. “He has been a tre-mendous practice player for us, and we’d like to see that carry into games.”

Big South Announces Preseason Basketball Poll

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (BigSouthSports.com) - The UNC Asheville men’s basketball team is a preseason pick to finish in third place as the league announced its preseason poll and All-Conference team. The announce-ments were made at the Renaissance Suites Hotel as part of the 2010-11 Basketball Tip-Off Media Luncheon.

The Bulldog men’s team earned 181 votes and picked up four first-place votes. Defending regular-season champion Coastal Carolina was picked first, followed by defending BSC champion Winthrop in second place. The Chanticleers received 206 votes, while the Eagles had 191 votes.

Asheville returns four starters and 11 lettermen from last year’s club that went 15-16 overall and came in fourth place in the league standings with an 11-7 worksheet. The Bulldogs recovered from a 3-12 start to the season but recovered in the second half of the year to go 12-4.

“We want to be good the entire season, not just half the year,” admitted Bulldog coach Eddie Biedenbach. “I am excited about the upcoming year. We think we have a chance to be a pretty good team this year but need to stay away from injuries.”

The Bulldog starters back include senior forward John Williams, junior forward Chris Stephenson and junior guards J.P. Primm and Matt Dickey. Williams averaged 11.5 ppg last year and became the school’s all-time leader in blocked shots and has 209 entering his final year. Primm was Asheville’s leading scorer with a 12.5 average. He also topped the team in assists with 172 and steals with 64. Dickey averaged 11.5 points per game a year ago.

“On paper, we measure up to be one of the teams to beat in the Big South,” stated Biedenbach. “However, I think there are about six teams that could win the league this season. I’ve seen in some magazines that we’ve been picked to win the conference, while others have us finishing in fifth or sixth place. We don’t know until we start some playing games.”

EDDIE BIEDENBACHHEAD COACH

N.C. STATE, 1968 • 15th SEASON The 2010-11 season will be Eddie Biedenbach’s 15th year as head coach of the UNC Asheville men’s basketball program. He is the longest tenured-coach in Big South Conference history and became the league’s all-time winningest coach in both conference and overall games last year. Biedenbach has been named Big South Coach of the Year three different times and four times has led the Bulldog program to Big South regular-season titles.

Biedenbach enters this year with 196 victories at Asheville He has registered 117 league wins and is second in Big South Tourna-ment victories with 14. The Bulldogs have finished in the top four in the final league standings 10 different times under Eddie’s lead-ership.

The 2009-10 season was another solid coaching job from the veteran leader. Asheville struggled in the first part and had a 3-12 record at the halfway point of the year. The Bulldogs rallied to go 12-4 in the second half of the season and finish in fourth place in the league standings for the second straight year. Asheville tied a school record for leagues wins with 11 and advanced to the semifinals of the league tournament for the fourth consecutive season.

In the 2008-09 season, Biedenbach’s young team fooled ev-eryone with their play. With four starters gone from the previous year plus the fact that 2008 Defensive Player of the Year Kenny George missed the season, the Bulldogs were a preseason pick to finish in ninth place in the league. Asheville proved the experts wrong in a big way. The Bulldogs had a 15-16 overall record and earned a fourth-place finish in league play with a 10-8 BSC mark. The Bulldogs advanced to the semifinals of the conference tour-nament for the third consecutive year before losing a close game to eventual champion Radford on its home floor. Asheville accom-plished this with only one senior on its roster and four freshmen playing significant minutes throughout the year.

The 2007-08 season was a truly historic one for Biedenbach’s program. He guided Asheville to a school-record 23 wins as the Bulldogs finished with a 23-10 overall record. He led his squad to a share of the Big South Conference regular-season title and

top seed in the league tournament. The Bulldogs became the first school in league history to be selected to the National Invitational Tournament. In addition, Asheville was ranked in the College In-sider Mid-Major poll for the first time in school history, rising to as high as 12th in early February. The Bulldogs also received a vote in the AP Top 25 for the first time ever. Biedenbach directed Asheville to the Big South title game for the fourth time in his career. In addition, the Bulldogs upset BSC school South Carolina, 61-58 and posted impressive non-conference wins over Buffalo and Western Carolina.

The 2006-07 season saw Biedenbach do another superb job making the Bulldogs a better team down the stretch. After strug-gling with injuries in the first part of the year, Asheville won its final three games of the regular season to move into fifth place in the final league standings. The Bulldogs then upset fourth-seeded Coastal Carolina on the Chanticleers’ home court and advanced to the semifinals of the Big South Conference Tournament.

In the 2002-03 season, Biedenbach guided the Bulldogs to a Big South Conference championship. He did so despite playing the toughest non-conference schedule in school history and with a roster of five freshmen and two sophomores. Asheville recovered from a fifth-place finish in the Big South to pull out two overtime wins in the league tournament and then posted an 85-71 victory over Radford in the Big South title game. The program became the first in Big South history to record a NCAA basketball tourna-ment victory when the Bulldogs outlasted Texas Southern 92-84 in overtime in the opening round game. Asheville’s run would final-ly end against top-seeded Texas in the first round of the regional, 82-61 but not before the Bulldogs had made a gallant effort against the Final Four bound Longhorns.

In the 2001-02 season, the Bulldogs finished with a 13-15 overall record but tied for the Big South regular-season champi-onship with a 10-4 mark. Biedenbach was rewarded for his work by being named as the league’s coach of the year for the second time. Asheville recovered from a 1-10 start to go 12-5 the rest of the season.

The Bulldogs enjoyed another successful year under Bieden-bach during the 2000-01 season. A young Asheville team finished with a 15-13 overall record and captured third place in the Big South with a 9-5 league mark. The Dogs earned impressive non-conference victories over mountain rivals Appalachian State and Western Carolina and upset Southern Conference regular season champ East Tennessee State on the road.

In the 1999-00 season, Biedenbach again helped Asheville overcome a tough start and a tough non-conference schedule. A young Bulldog team with seven newcomers started 0-9 and 1-11, facing a schedule that included the likes of Connecticut, Tennes-see, Kentucky, North Carolina State, Saint Louis, Missouri and Vir-ginia Tech. However, Biedenbach would not let his young squad get down, and the Bulldogs kept working to get better. Asheville fin-ished with a 7-7 mark in league play, good for a third-place tie. The Dogs earned some special wins throughout the season, including a 64-63 upset of defending champ Winthrop and an amazing vic-tory over Coastal Carolina late in the season. Asheville trailed by 26 points before rallying for the victory. The comeback was the sixth-biggest in NCAA Division I history at the time. Biedenbach’s charges were ready come tournament time as they knocked off fifth-seeded Liberty in the first round and then upset top-seed Radford 78-71 in the semifinals. The win advanced the Dogs to the championship game for the second time in three years. Asheville finished with an 11-19 record but went 10-8 over the last half of the season with four freshmen each playing more than 20 minutes per game.

In the 1998-99 season, Asheville finished with a deceptive 11-18 overall record. The Bulldogs faced another difficult non-conference schedule with road games at Purdue, St. John’s, Virginia Tech, Auburn, Clemson, Michigan State and Texas Christian. All of those teams participated in postseason play with the exception of Va. Tech. Four made it to the “Sweet 16”, while Auburn and Michi-gan State were number one seeds during that season’s NCAA tournament. After beginning the year 1-11, Asheville rallied with a 10-7 record in the second half of the season and advanced to the semifinals of the Big South Conference Tournament for the fourth straight season.

The 1997-98 season showed Asheville was able to handle the role of favorite as it claimed the program’s first ever outright reg-ular-season crown. The Bulldogs finished the regular season with a Division I school-best 19-9 record and another school-record 11-1 in league play. The Dogs had the fifth-longest winning streak in the nation in January at nine games. Asheville also recorded its first unbeaten season at home in 12 years with a 12-0 mark.

The 1996-97 season, Biedenbach’s first at Asheville, saw the Bulldogs finish with an amazing 18-10 overall record, considering their schedule. The Bulldogs played nine of their first 10 games on the road and 17 games away from Asheville during the season. Biedenbach’s first team proved to be giant killers. The Bulldogs earned road wins over SEC champion South Carolina and Big West power New Mexico State. In addition, Asheville knocked off Southern Conference juggernaut Marshall at home. During the middle of the season, the Bulldogs produced a school-record 11-game winning streak, the third longest in the country at the time. Not bad for a team picked to finish sixth or seventh place in pre-season polls and magazines.

Biedenbach became UNC Asheville’s fifth head coach in May of 1996 when he replaced Randy Wiel.

He arrived in Asheville after serving as an assistant to Les Robinson at N.C. State for three years. While at N.C. State, the Wolfpack win total improved every year and his coaching strongly influenced the development of center Todd Fuller. Fuller was a first-team All-ACC performer in 1996 and a first-round NBA draft pick by the Golden State Warriors.

While playing for N.C. State during the mid-60’s, Biedenbach was a three-year starter for legendary coaches Everett Case, Press Maravich and Norm Sloan, earning All-ACC honors twice. He helped lead the Wolfpack to three ACC Championship game appearances and one league title. After his junior year, Biedenbach was drafted by the St. Louis Hawks of the NBA. He came back for his senior year and despite a painful back injury, led the Wolfpack to the ACC Championship game and was named N.C. State’s Most Valuable Player. Eddie was drafted by three different teams in two sports after his senior year - the Los Angeles Lakers (NBA), the New Jersey Nets (ABA) and the Dallas Cowboys (NFL).

In 2003, he was voted as the N.C. State Player of the Decade for the 1960s.

Following his college career, Biedenbach played one season in the NBA for the Lakers and the Phoenix Suns.

He began a nine-year coaching career at N.C. State as an as-sistant under Sloan. Biedenbach recruited such standouts as David Thompson, Tommy Burleson and Monte Towe, who helped make those Wolfpack teams among the greatest ever to play in the At-lantic Coast Conference. N.C. State won the 1974 national cham-

pionship and three ACC titles while Biedenbach worked there. Thompson was the national player of the year in 1974 and 1975 and ACC Player of the Year three times. He was inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame in the spring of 1996, with Biedenbach in attendance. Biedenbach also recruited Wolfpack greats Derrick Whittenburg, Thurl Bai-ley and Sidney Lowe, who helped N.C. State win another national title in 1983.

His first head coaching job was at Davidson College for three seasons (1978-81) and he helped turn the Wildcat pro-gram around. In the 1980-81 season, Biedenbach guided Davidson to a first-place finish in the Southern Conference, the program’s best performance in 10 years.

While Biedenbach was rebuilding the Wildcats’ program around, one of his first hires was a young coach fresh out of col-lege - Rick Barnes. The current head man at the University of Texas and former ACC Coach of the Year at Clemson speaks very highly of Biedenbach.

“I can’t imagine a better person at UNC Asheville than Eddie Biedenbach. He has the experience of being a great player in the ACC, the experiences of being an assistant coach who helped build a national championship team at N.C. State plus the experi-ence of being a head coach,” Barnes stated. “I will always be in-debted to Eddie Biedenbach for giving me my first shot in the coaching profession.”

Also on Biedenbach’s staff at Davidson during his tenure was current Wake Forest head coach Jeff Bzdelik and Davidson head coach Bob McKillop.

From Davidson, Biedenbach moved to Georgia as an assistant coach on Hugh Durham’s staff for eight years. His first season at Georgia (1981-82) saw the Bulldogs reach the SEC championship game for the first time and advance to the NIT. The following year, Georgia reached the Final Four for the first time, upsetting defending national champion North Carolina in the process. The Bulldogs went to postseason play five more times while Bieden-bach was on the Georgia staff.

A native of Pittsburgh, Biedenbach was a two-sport stand-out at Edgewood High School. He lettered in basketball for three seasons, helping lead his school to two league championships, and

was an all-state performer. Biedenbach lettered in football for two seasons and played quarterback and linebacker. In the fall of 1998, Eddie was inducted into the East Boros, Pa. Hall of Fame.

Eddie is a member of the USA Today Top 25 voting panel. He is an active member of the National Basketball Coaches Associa-tion and is a member of that organization’s congress.

Biedenbach is a spokesman for Nike and also a major con-tributor to the Asheville Rotary Club.

He and his wife Barbara, an N.C. State graduate and former Wolfpack cheerleader, have two daughters, Tracy and Amy, plus two grandchildren.

THE BIG SOUTH CONFERENCE

THE 2007-08 BIG SOUTH CONFERENCE REGULAR SEASON CHAMPIONS

Since its founding in 1983, the Big South Conference has matured into a competitive leader in college athletics, actively pursuing excellence on the field of play and in the classroom. The League’s growing presence as an NCAA Division I athletic conference is evident by athletic accomplishments on the national stage, innovative marketing and media partnerships, increased television packages, and quality athletic competition while intentionally fostering the academic, personal, social, athletic and leadership development of each student-athlete. This has evolved into the Conference’s mission of “Developing Leaders Through Athletics.”

The Big South Conference was formed on August 21, 1983, when Charleston Southern (then Baptist College) Athletic Director Howard Bagwell and Augusta President George Christenberry began recruiting members into the Big South, receiving initial commitments from Augusta, Charleston Southern, Campbell, Coastal Carolina and Winthrop. One month later, Dr. Edward M. Singleton was selected as the League’s first Commissioner and continued to solicit new members. His efforts led to the additions of Armstrong State, Radford and UNC Asheville, giving the Big South more than the required six members to constitute an official conference. The Big South’s first year of competition was in the Fall of 1984, and in September 1986, the Big South Conference was granted full-fledged NCAA Division I status.

During its infancy and prior to securing automatic bids to NCAA Championships, the Big South made early strides in earning at-large berths in several national postseason events, including volleyball, women’s basketball and women’s golf. In 1989, George F. “Buddy” Sasser replaced the retiring Dr. Singleton as Commissioner, and in 1990, the League received its first automatic bid – receiving an automatic qualifier to the NCAA Baseball Championship. Under Sasser’s seven years of leadership, the Conference implemented its public relations and compliance programs, and introduced its first-ever men’s basketball television package, featuring the Big South competing among some of the finest teams in the nation. In August 1996, Kyle B. Kallander replaced Sasser as the League’s third Commissioner, and in his 13 years at the helm of the Big South, Kallander has been instrumental in aggressively promoting the Conference to new levels. The Conference has enjoyed record levels in marketing revenue during the past several years, he has brought television coverage to Big South women’s basketball, baseball and softball for the first time in Conference history, as well as increased national television exposure to the League as a whole through aggressive and unique television packages.

Under Kallander’s leadership, the Big South developed and initiated its first long-range strategic plan, re-affirming the League’s vision as a distinctive athletic Conference committed to the quality of institutional life through athletic competition. He also spearheaded the efforts to add football as a championship sport, which came to fruition in 2002, and has solidified Conference membership with the additions of High Point, Gardner-Webb and Presbyterian, and in 2011-12, the return of charter member Campbell University. Kallander’s long range vision has also included technological advancements, as the Conference introduced its first live event video streaming in 2005 and has since expanded its video offerings to more than 600 events annually through a partnership with the member institutions, as well as the creation of several online and social media platforms.

In the last 15 years alone, the Big South Conference has experienced monumental growth and success in nearly every sport. During this time, the Conference has had two individual National Champions, more than 200 All-Americans, has reached the “Sweet 16” in men’s soccer, women’s basketball and baseball, has received national Top 25 rankings in men’s soccer, men’s basketball, women’s basketball, baseball, men’s outdoor track & field, and men’s golf, had an individual selected to play in the NCAA Singles Championship four times in addition to the first men’s tennis doubles at-large selection, had the No. 1 ranked men’s golfer in the country, has had the nation’s top scoring men’s basketball team three consecutive years as well as the national men’s basketball scoring leader twice, received an at-large playoff berth in the Football Championship Subdivision in 2006, and had an institution finish fifth in the NCAA Men’s Golf Championships – the Conference’s highest-ever team finish in an NCAA event.

The Conference’s tagline, “Developing Leaders Through Athletics” was unveiled in 2008-09 in conjunction with the Conference’s 25th Anniversary. The League also honored its heritage with the Top 25 “Best of the Best” moments in League history from 1983-2008, with Liberty University’s 10-year women’s basketball championship run from 1996-2007 being crowned the No. 1 moment in the Big South’s first 25 years. The Conference’s on-field accomplishments have been duplicated in the classroom. Annually, more than 40 percent of Conference student-athletes are named to the Big South’s Presidential Honor Roll for maintaining a cumulative 3.0 grade-point average, and the League has had more than 95 Academic All-Americans in its quarter-century of existence.

Omar Collington dunks at the end of 2003 Big South Conference Championship game.

The 1988-89 UNC Asheville Bulldogs after winning the Big South Conference championship at the Winthrop Coliseum in Rock Hill, S.C. First year coach Don Doucette saw his team win eight of its final 10 games to claim the program’s first Division I title.

It was a script even Hollywood would have a hard time believing.

A new coach is hired. The team struggles for much of the season and then puts it all together to win a championship at the end of the year. But that’s precisely what happened to the 1988-89 UNC Asheville Bulldogs as they claimed their first ever Big South Conference championship. The Bulldogs had an interesting ride to the league championship. UNC Asheville was in its third year in Division I play and was beginning a new era on the coaching front. Long-time head coach Jerry Green left the Asheville program in July to take an assistant’s job at the University of Kansas with Roy Williams. UNC Asheville would turn north to hire a new coach when the school tapped Don Doucette. Doucette had just led Lowell (Mass.) to a Division II national championship in 1988. There were some real highs and lows throughout the season. A double-overtime win at Western Carolina was followed by a three-game losing streak. The Bulldogs made a spectacular rally to beat VMI at the Civic Center in early January only to be wiped out by Appalachian State in the same building five days later. The low point came later in the month when Coastal Carolina came to Justice Center and blew the Bulldogs out, 86-60. It was Asheville’s worst home loss in almost 20 years. Things began to improve in February. UNC Asheville rallied to win five of its final seven games to finish in a tie for third place in the league. The only two losses were a one-point defeat at Charleston Southern and a good effort at ACC power N.C. State where the Bulldogs lost, 90-75. Junior forward Milton Moore torched the Wolfpack for 39 points. Asheville finished the season on a roll with a decisive 105-76 win over Radford before a packed house at Justice Center. The Bulldogs would play the same Highlander team in the opening round of the Big South Conference tournament a few days later.

This game would be close all the way. It was tied 58-58 when Radford was called for an offensive foul with 30 seconds left. The Bulldogs took the lead for good on a Moore jumper at 60-58 with 10 seconds remaining. Lance Mitchell hit two free throws to seal the victory for UNC Asheville, 62-58. The fourth-seeded Bulldogs would take on top-seeded Coastal Carolina the next day. Coastal had ripped Asheville twice during the year. This was a different game. The Dogs took the lead right before halftime. Asheville steadily built the lead behind the play of junior guard Maurice Caldwell, sophomore guard Brian Combs, sophomore center Brent Keck and Moore. Asheville earned a trip to its first championship game with an 88-76 upset victory. UNC Asheville’s opponent in the title game would be an equally hot Campbell squad. The game was tight for much of the first half before forward Harvey Shropshire scored eight straight points to give the Bulldogs a 43-37 halftime lead. Asheville rolled in the second half as five players scored in double figures led by Combs with 15 points. Moore ended up with 13 points and was named Big South Tournament MVP. Caldwell just missed a triple-double with 12 points, 10 rebounds and nine assists. The Bulldogs cruised to the title, 93-78. Keck and Shropshire joined Moore on the all-tournament team. “I was real proud of this team,” stated Doucette. “They hung in there with me as we learned about each other throughout the season. We really came together as a team through some tough times and put it all together in February. We got a few breaks along the way and earned a championship. It was a storybook ending to the season.” And after all, Hollywood likes a happy ending.

1989 BIG SOUTH CHAMPIONS

All’s well that ends well. The UNC Asheville Bulldogs were the preseason pick to win the 2003 championship. And in the end, that’s just what the Bulldogs did – win the 2003 Big South Conference title. But it was a long and interesting trip to that title. People predicted the Bulldogs were going to win the 2003 Big South title but did it without realizing that UNC Asheville had lost some players from the previous season. The 2002 team had tied for the Big South Conference regular-season title and only had one senior on that club. However, two key players from that club decided to transfer and another key player would miss the season. Asheville was not the team that people thought it was going to be before the season even started. The Bulldogs navigated through their usual difficult non-conference schedule. UNC Asheville had an incredible four-game stretch where it played at Connecticut, Holy Cross, Oklahoma and Kansas. The Dogs had another player decide not to play and suddenly early in conference play, Asheville was down to 10 players. The Bulldogs bench was nothing but freshmen. Led by seniors’ Andre Smith, Alex Kragel and Ben McGonagil, UNC Asheville battled hard and was a force in league play by mid-February. The Bulldogs were just a game out of first place at 7-3 with four conference games to go. But the road was not kind to this young Asheville team. The Dogs dropped three straight road games, two in the final minute of play setting up a home game with Winthrop to end the regular season. Asheville needed a win to earn a home game in the first round of the Big South Tournament. It didn’t happen. The Eagles dominated UNC Asheville and won easily, 76-65 before a sell-out crowd at Justice Center. The loss moved the Bulldogs to fifth place, their lowest finish in league play in eight years, and put them on the road for the opening round. UNC Asheville would travel to Elon for the first round of the tournament. The Bulldogs led most of the way but could never put the Phoenix away. Elon led by two late but two free throws from McGonagil tied the game and send the contest to overtime. In overtime, Elon led 66-65 when Smith and Kragel teamed up for some of the biggest plays of the year. After a Asheville miss with 15 seconds left, Kragel forced a jump ball to give the ball back to the Bulldogs.

Asheville played for the final shot and Kragel sent a perfect pass to Smith, who nailed a long 3-pointer with four seconds left to give Asheville the dramatic 68-66 win. The victory sent the Bulldogs to the semifinals for the first time in three years but standing in their way was Winthrop. The Eagles entered the tournament with four straight Big South Conference championships and had beaten UNC Asheville eight straight times. The Dogs trailed by 11 midway through the second half but sophomore Bryan McCullough scored a career-high 18 points to keep Asheville close. The Dogs trailed by three late in regulation when freshman Chad Mohn hit a dramatic 3-pointer to tie the game at 71-71 with 20 seconds left. Winthrop had a chance to win at the buzzer, but Mohn blocked a last-second shot to send the game into overtime. Smith took over in overtime and scored the Bulldogs first eight points to give UNC Asheville a five-point lead. The Eagles rallied and took an 80-79 lead on a 3-pointer of their own with 7.8 seconds left. For the second straight game, Asheville’s season would come down to the final possession. Kragel would etch his name in Bulldogs fans hearts forever as he sank a 15-footer at the buzzer to give UNC Asheville a dramatic 81-80 victory. Wow!!! Thanks to two overtime victories, the Bulldogs were in the Big South Conference championship game. UNC Asheville would face sixth-seeded Radford for the championship. The Highlanders had also picked up two upsets to get to the title game. They were coached by 1986 UNC Asheville graduate Byron Samuels. There would be no overtime in this game. The Bulldogs took control in the first half as they went on a 16-0 run. Kragel hit a half-court shot at the end of the half to give Asheville a 16-point lead. Radford made several runs in the second half but each time the Bulldogs would hit a key shot to blunt the momentum. Asheville would roll to an 85-71 victory and into the NCAA Tournament. Smith was named MVP of the tournament, while Kragel, McCullough, and McGonagil all earned spots on the all-tournament team. “This team simply had a great heart and a super attitude the whole year,” said head coach Eddie Biedenbach. “We went through a lot during the season but never stopped working. This was a week we’ll never forget.”

TEAM RECORDS

The first men’s basketball championship for the Bulldogs came in the 1968-69 season when the Bulldogs captured the District 6 championship and advanced to the NAIA Tournament in Kansas City. It was the last year the school would be known as Asheville-Biltmore College, and head coach Bob Hartman had an excellent team ready to make a run for a championship. The Bulldogs were built around three great players. They were point guard Jim McElhaney from Hartman’s hometown of South Bend, Ind., guard-forward Mickey Gibson, a left-handed sharpshooter who transferred from the University of Kentucky and center Rod Healy, a native of Kokomo, Indiana, who is still the school’s all-time leading rebounder. Hartman’s Indiana pipeline brought him McElhaney and Healy but Gibson was a different story. “As a sophomore at the University of Kentucky, Mickey got married during Christmas vacation,” stated Hartman. Coach Adolph Rupp said no married man could play for the Kentucky. “He was playing in an industrial league around Banner Elk, and we heard about him through some of his relatives,” added Hartman. “We were awfully fortunate to get Mickey Gibson to come to school here. He was a smart player with no limit on his range.” The Bulldogs rolled to a 16-8 regular-season record and qualified for the District 6 playoffs. Hartman’s club was at home in the semifinals and knocked off Erskine College, 76-70 behind 28 points from McElhaney, despite not playing well. “We played terrible,” stated Hartman after the game. “We had the shakes the whole game. I hope we can play better against Newberry.” The championship game would be played against Newberry at Wofford College, and the Bulldogs would play better. The Indians brought a noisy crowd to Wofford, and hit a shot at the halftime buzzer to lead by six. Hartman wasn’t too worried. “We showed them a phony press in the first half and then we clamped down in the second half,” remembered Hartman. “Rod hit three shots early in the second half to get us going. Mickey started popping in shots and we were on our way.” Gibson took over the game and finished the contest with 36 points as Asheville-Biltmore rolled to a 90-81 win. The school, which was in just its second year of competition on the NAIA level, had earned a trip to Kansas City for the national tournament. Up first for the Bulldogs was heavily-favored Grambling College led by future NBA player Freddie Hilton. Led by McElhaney’s 27 points and Gibson’s 20 points, A-B made its national tournament debut a successful one with an 86-74 victory. The Bulldogs season would end the next day with a loss to Monmouth (N.J.), 115-81. “That first championship was pretty special,” remarked Hartman. “We were a pretty new school and to get to Kansas City meant so much to the city and the school.”

UNC Asheville earned its second district championship in 1971 and did it in dramatic style. The cast was a little dif-ferent than the 1969 championship team. Jim McElhaney was still playing for the Bulldogs along with Rod Healy and Greg Headen. Mike Grace, a freshman, teamed up with McElhaney in the backcourt. UNC Asheville’s biggest competitor that year was mountain rival Western Carolina. The season would produce three memorable UNCA-WCU match-ups. The Bulldogs won at Justice Center, 84-81 but the Cats edged Asheville in Cullo-whee, 84-80. The teams would meet one more time for the District 6 championship at Memorial Auditorium in Greenville, S.C. This one was a classic with one incredible ending. The game was close all the way and went to overtime, tied at 52-52. The teams couldn’t settle the game in the first overtime period and were tied, 54-54. In the second overtime period, WCU took control and led 61-58 with 49 seconds left. Dean Nanney scored for the Bulldogs to cut the lead to 61-60. The Catamounts ran the clock down to 10 seconds be-fore Howard Winston, one of WCU’s top players, was fouled. Winston missed the front end of the one-and-one. However, WCU got the rebound and Winston was fouled intentionally by Grace with seven seconds left. Incredibly, Winston missed both free throws. The second miss was rebounded by Healy. He quickly got the ball to Grace, who then threw the ball to a 6-5 forward named Joe Kagel. Kagel loved to shoot the ball but had a disdain for de-fense. He took two dribbles down the sideline and then put a shot from 35 feet out. Bank, swish. The Bulldogs won 62-61 and earned their second trip to Kansas City in three years. “That’s a game you’ll never forget,” stated UNC Asheville coach Bob Hartman. “I’ll remember Joe Kagel’s shot forever. It was a great game, and we were fortunate to have the ball last. The Bulldogs’ trip to Kansas City was a short one as a very good Stephen F. Austin squad won 91-73. UNC Asheville finished the season with a 20-10 overall record and memories of a game that will last a lifetime.

BULLDOGS IN THE POSTSEASON

UNC Asheville 92, Texas Southern 84, OTNCAA Opening Round

March 18, 2003Dayton Arena/Dayton, Ohio

DAYTON, Ohio – Once again overtime was UNC Asheville’s time. The Bulldogs made their NCAA tournament debut a successful one as they outlasted Texas Southern, 92-84 in overtime before a packed crowd of 7,711 at Dayton Arena. The win was UNC Asheville’s fourth straight and raised its overtime record to a perfect 5-0. Three of the Bulldogs four past wins have come in overtime. Asheville will play top-seeded Texas in the first round of the NCAA tournament in Birmingham on March 21. UNC Asheville became the first team from the Big South Conference to win a NCAA tournament basketball game. Senior guard Andre Smith made sure his team would play one more game as he scored a season-high 28 points, including 10 in overtime. Bryan McCullough added 15 points, Alex Kragel hit three second-half 3-pointers and finished with 14 points, Ben McGonagil had 12 points and Joseph Barber 11 The Bulldogs (15-16) led by four late in regulation only to see the Tigers get a last-second shot from Lionel Willis with 3.4 seconds left to tie the game at 75-75. But Smith took charge right away in overtime. He sank a long trey 10 seconds into overtime to give the Bulldogs the lead for good at 78-75. Asheville also got a clutch three-pointer from freshman Chad Mohn to give Asheville an 86-79 lead. Oliver Holmes came off the bench to grab two key offensive rebounds. Barber also scored a key bucket when he rebounded a missed Bulldog free throw and scored. Smith sealed the game with a layup with 40 seconds left and added two free throws for the final margin. “We have a saying that we use all the time and that’s we are not going to be denied,” commented Kragel afterwards. “Even though we went to overtime, we just wouldn’t be denied.” “The people who are playing great right now are the ones who are enjoying basketball and having fun,” stated UNC Asheville coach Eddie Biedenbach. “We’re one of those teams. “Once again our guys dug down and found a way to get it done,” added Biedenbach. “We made some big shots when we had to have them, especially in overtime. “We made some mistakes on defense late in regulation that allowed them to tie the game,” Biedenbach also said. “But in overtime, we really rose to the occasion.” The Bulldogs didn’t know much about Texas Southern but did know one of its players. Sophomore Allan Lovett began his college career at Asheville and played one year during the 2000-01 season. He transferred to TSU and enjoyed a fabulous game with 28 points. The first half went back and forth before a late Bulldog surge put Asheville in front, 43-39. The Tigers came out and grabbed the lead quickly in the second half. The lead ballooned to 60-51 midway through the second half when the Bulldogs roared back. Kragel hit back-to-back three-pointers to cut the lead to 60-57. UNC Asheville eventually took the lead behind two free throws from Smith to lead 70-69. Another Kragel trey with 40 seconds left pushed the margin go 73-69 before the Tigers tied the game at the end of regulation.

NOTES – Andre Smith’s 28 points was a season-high…the Bulldogs had five players in double figures…UNCA won despite having two starters foul out early in overtime…the game was UNC Asheville’s first ever NCAA tournament contest…the Bulldogs are now a perfect 5-0 in overtime.

Andre Smith scored a season-high 28 points to lead UNC Asheville to a 92-84 NCAA opening round tournament win over Texas Southern at the Dayton Arena.

Texas 82, UNC Asheville 61First Round/NCAA Tournament

Friday, March 21, 2003Birmingham/Jefferson Civic Center/Birmingham, AL

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – UNC Asheville’s improbable run to the NCAA tournament ended with an 82-61 loss to top-seeded Texas in the first round of the tournament before a sell-out crowd at the Jefferson County Civic Center. The Bulldogs finished the season with a 15-17 record, while the Longhorns began a NCAA trip that would see them advance to the Final Four. UNC Asheville did not go down without a fight. Texas, behind the play of National Player of the Year T.J. Ford, jumped out to a quick 29-10 lead. The rout appeared to be on at that point. Not so fast said Asheville. The Bulldogs would slowly creep back in the game. Asheville scored on five of its last seven possessions of the first half to cut the lead to 10 at 36-26. Ben McGonagil led the charge with eight points in the final five minutes. Alex Kragel scored to open the second half and suddenly the Bulldogs were within 36-28. But Texas scored on 10 of its next 12 possessions to slowly expand the lead and keep Asheville at bay. Ford finished with eight points but had 11 assists. Andre Smith led all scorers with 19 points, including two impressive slam-dunks in the second half. He dunked on an alley-oop and then went through the Texas defense for a slam later in the half. McGonagil added 14 points for the Bulldogs, while Kragel finished with nine points. The game was a reunion for UNC Asheville head coach Eddie Biedenbach and Texas head coach Rick Barnes. It was Biedenbach who gave Barnes his start in coaching when he hired him as a volunteer assistant at Davidson back in 1978. “We played well but we needed to play well to beat UNC Asheville today,” commented Barnes afterwards. “They certainly played well and made us earn everything. We’re happy to get by them and advance in the tournament.” Biedenbach was proud of his team’s effort. “Our margin of error is pretty small in a game like this but

our guys showed a lot of heart for staying in there as long as we did against a great team like Texas,” stated Biedenbach. “We just didn’t have the size and strength of Texas to win the game.”

NOTES – Andre Smith finished his career at UNC Asheville as the sixth all-time leading scorer with 1,495 points…the Bulldogs were the only team in the NCAA tournament with a losing record…the 21-point margin of defeat was the closest a Big South Conference team came in the NCAA 64-team tournament since UNC Greensboro lost to Cincinnati, 68-63 in 1996…Smith was the leading scorer in the game with 19 points…UNC Asheville ended up playing the top three teams in the Big 12 Conference in Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas, all three of those teams made it to the Final Eight with Kansas and Texas advancing to the Final Four.

Ohio State 84, UNC Asheville 66First Round/ NIT Tournament

Tuesday, March 18, 2008Value City Arena/Columbus, Ohio

COLUMBUS, Ohio – Jamar Butler scored 21 points and added 10 assists to lead Ohio State past UNC Asheville 84-66 in an NIT first-round game on their home court. During one span in the second half, the senior point guard scored or assisted on 15 consecutive points for the Buckeyes (20-13), who were passed over by the NCAA tournament a year after finishing as the national runners-up. Ohello Hunter had 16 points, Kosta Koufos 15 and David Lighty 13 for the Buckeyes, who shot 56 percent from the field while making their eighth NIT appearance. Reid Augst had 20 points, Bryan Smithson 17 and KJ Garland 10 for the Bulldogs (23-10), the first Big South Conference team to play in an NIT game. They had shared the conference’s regular-season title and made it to the Big South tournament final before losing to Winthrop, which captured the automatic NCAA berth. Asheville’s Kenny George played well, scoring 12 points with 11 rebounds. He hit 6-of-7 shots from the field, blocked a shot and added an assist in 27 minutes. It was the junior center’s sixth double-double of the year. “We battled and played hard but turned the ball over too many times in the first half,” commented UNC Asheville coach Eddie Biedenbach. “We shot the ball very well, especially in the first half and did a great job rebounding but a lot of that good work was undone by our turnovers.” The Buckeyes built a 10-point lead at halftime and then pulled away in the second half. Asheville made a season-high 16 turnovers in the first half that allowed Ohio State to score 22 points off those turnovers. The Bulldogs shot 64 percent (14-of-22) from the field in the first half. Butler had a hand in all of the scoring in a 15-7 run midway through, scoring 10 points and assisting on a 3-pointer by Jon Diebler and Dallas Lauderdale’s dunk off an inbounds pass for a 70-54 lead. The Buckeyes had two big streaks in the first half, going on a 10-0 run for a 27-16 lead only to have the Bulldogs counterpunch with a 12-2 run to pull to 29-28. Ohio State then closed the half on a 16-7 run for a 45-35 lead at the break. Asheville was within 61-53 with 12 minutes left before Butler hit a long three-pointer with the shot clock winding down to allow the Buckeyes to take a 64-53 lead. The Bulldogs could get no closer than 10 the rest of the game. NOTES - Asheville shot 52 percent from the field (27-of-52) for the game. It was the 20th time this season the Bulldogs shot at or better than 50 percent from the field. The Bulldogs out-rebounded the Buckeyes, 35-26. Garland finished the game with seven assists and 520 career assists.

Bryan Smithson was UNC Asheville’s leading scorer in 2007-08. He had 17 points in his final game at Ohio State.

Kenny George enjoyed one of the greatest seasons that any UNC Asheville player ever experienced in 2007-08. The Chicago native became the the first men’s basketball player to lead the nation in a statistical category when he set a school and Big South record in field goal percentage. Kenny shot 69.6 percent from the field as he went 151-of-217 from the floor. He set a single-season record for blocked shots with 93 and finished eighth nationally in that category (3.3 per game). Kenny became the first player in school history to record a triple-double when he scored 20 points, grabbed 12 rebounds, and blocked 10 shots in an 83-71 victory at Campbell. He was named the Big South Conference Defensive Player of the Year and earned second team all-conference honors.

KENNY GEORGE

In the final men’s basketball home game of the 2001-02 season, a special ceremony was held to honor UNC Asheville’s all-time winningest coach, Bob Hartman. Coach Hartman was the school’s head men’s basketball coach and athletics director. The ceremony was held to rec-ognize him for all of his efforts during his tenure.

Hartman, a former three-sport letterman at Purdue, came to Asheville in 1962 and was the program’s head basketball coach until 1979. He served as athletics director until 1981 and continued to teach in the Health and Fitness Program until retiring in 1990. In 2001, a group of Coach Hartman’s players got together and decided to honor their former coach. They raised money to form a scholarship named after him that will be given to a deserving basketball player every year.

Coach Hartman led the Bulldogs to some great moments during his coaching career, including two trips to the NAIA national tournament in Kansas City in 1969 and 1971. Coach Hartman helped pave the way for UNC Asheville to be the Division I athletics program, as it is today.

Bob Hartman was head men’s basketball coach at UNC Asheville for 17 seasons and led the Bulldog program to 258 victories and two district championships.

UNC Asheville head men’s basketball coach Eddie Biedenbach had a scholarship named after him by long-time Bulldog booster Christine Currry in the 2004-05 season. The scholarship goes to a basketball player each year. Ms. Curry donated $50,000 to begin an endowment project for the Eddie Biedenbach Scholarship at UNC Asheville, kick-starting a program with a goal of fully endowing athletic scholarships at the school.

“She’s a great lady and a great friend,” said Biedenbach. “I haven’t won enough games here to deserve it, and I haven’t died yet, so I don’t know if it should have my name on it, but I’m very honored and humbled that Christine would do that.”

Fiske Guide Gives High Marks to UNC Asheville and its Environmental Studies Program UNC Asheville is once again ranked among the nation’s top colleges in the 2011 edition of the “Fiske Guide to Colleges” published in July. The Fiske Guide calls UNC Asheville “one of the best educational bargains in the country.” “This public liberal arts university offers all the perks that are generally associated with pricier private institutions: rigorous academics, small classes, and a beautiful setting,” says the Fiske Guide, noting that UNC Asheville provides all this for a fraction of the cost of a private college. In addition, for the seventh consecutive year, UNC Asheville’s Environmental Studies Program was named to the Fiske Guide’s list of pre-professional programs with unusual strength in preparing students for careers. Students in UNC Asheville’s program learn to address environmental issues through a multidisciplinary approach that includes biology, ecology, geology, chemistry, physics, economics, public policy, and other natural and social sciences. Undergraduate research is an important feature of the curriculum, and the Environmental Studies Department stresses on-the-job internships in organizations involved with environmental issues. TheFiskeGuidealsofindsplentytoappreciateinUNCAsheville’s“picturesquemountainlocationinoneofthemost liveable small cities anywhere.” According to the Fiske Guide, “whether it’s the lush environment or the money you’re saving, the University of North Carolina at Asheville will have you seeing green.”

UNC Asheville Named One of the 50 “Best Value” Public Colleges in the U.S. by Princeton Review Rising costs in today’s challenging economy has pushed up the price of everything from gas to groceries. But there are still great values to be found in higher education, according to “Best Value Colleges for 2010” ranking released today from the Princeton Review. UNC Asheville was among just 50 institutions nationwide named to the “Best Value” Public Colleges list. The Princeton Review also published a 50 “Best Value” Private Colleges list, for a total of 100 colleges in all. UNC Asheville was the only college or university in Western North Carolina to make the list. This is the fourth year that UNC Asheville has been selected by the Princeton Review as one of the 50 best value public colleges in the country. AccordingtothePrincetonReview,theschoolsthatmadethe“BestValue”listare“first-rateinstitutionsofferingoutstandingacademicsatarelativelylowcostofattendanceand/orgenerousfinancialaid.” The Princeton Review praised UNC Asheville’s growing national academic reputation, noting that the University provides “students a private school experience at a public school cost.” It also favorably notes the University’s numerous academic options, small class size and strong focus on the liberal arts. The ranking applauds UNC Asheville’s accessible faculty and the diverse offering of student activities both on and off campus. The Princeton Review selected the top 100 institutions as its “Best Value” choices for 2010 based on its surveys of administrators and students at more than 650 public and private colleges and universities.

And according to U.S. News & World Report’s current college rankings, UNC Asheville is among the top 25 liberal arts colleges in the nation whose students graduated with the least debt in 2008.

Dr. Anne Ponder became the sixth Chancellor of the University of North Caro-lina Asheville in October 2005.

Chancellor Ponder is a native of Asheville and a lifelong educator. She earned her bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral degrees in English from the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill. She began her academic career at Elon College (now Elon University) in North Carolina, where she was the first woman and first pre-tenure professor to receive the Daniels-Danieley Award for Excellence in Teaching. During her nine years at Elon, she taught English and communications, and founded the college’s Honors Program.

She later joined Guilford College in North Carolina, where she was an associate professor of English and interdisciplinary studies and served as associate academic dean. At Kenyon College in Ohio, she served as professor of English and drama, academic dean, adding ‘vice president for information technology’ to her portfolio.

In 1995, she was selected to become president at Colby-Sawyer College, a private liberal arts college in New London, N.H., where she would serve for ten years.

At UNC Asheville, Chancellor Ponder has led a campuswide collaboration resulting in a five-year Strategic Plan and then imple-mented an administrative reorganization that focuses University resources on the Strategic Plan’s highest priorities. As part of that strategy, the UNC Asheville campus now serves as the new na-tional headquarters for the Council of Public Liberal Arts Col-leges.

Chancellor Ponder is a nationally known expert on institu-tional effectiveness, strategic planning, and fundraising and re-source development. She has been a frequent faculty member of Harvard University’s Institutes for Higher Education, and has writ-ten a chapter on strategic planning for the book “Leading Ameri-ca’s Branch Campuses,” edited by Samuel Schuman and published by the American Council on Education.

In addition to serving the University, Chancellor Ponder is a member of the Mission Hospitals Audit Committee, and the Unit-ed Way of Asheville and Buncombe County Board of Directors. She also serves as a member of the Asheville Community and Economic Development Alliance.

Chancellor Ponder is the daughter of Eleanor Ponder, and the late Herschel Ponder, both of whom trace their Asheville family roots back to the 1780’s. She is married to Christopher Brook-house, an award-winning writer and publisher previously on the English faculty at UNC Chapel Hill.

Janet R. Cone is in her seventh year as Director of Athletics at UNC Asheville. Since arriving in 2004, she has led the Department of Athletics through a five-year strategic plan that has resulted in improvements in the student-athlete experience, resources for coaches and staff, facilities, competition levels and increased community support.

Last year, Chancellor Anne Ponder appointed Cone to the newly-created position of Senior Administrator for University Enterprises. In this position, Cone will oversee the North Carolina Center for Health and Wellness, manage specific community relationships and serve as a member of UNC Asheville’s fundraising team. She will continue as a member of the Chancellor’s Senior Staff and assist Chancellor Ponder in more closely aligning the university with the North Carolina Center for Creative Retirement.

Student-Athletes have excelled in the classroom under Cone’s leadership. In 2004, she created the Athletic Director’s 3.0 + Club that recognizes all student-athletes who make a 3.0 or better grade point average each semester. More than 600 student-athletes have made the club during Cone’s six years, and in 2009-10, a record number of student-athletes earned that distinction.

During that same time period, more than 500 student-athletes have been named to the Big South Presidential Honor Roll, and in 2009-10 more than 60 percent of UNC Asheville’s student-athletes have earned this impressive academic distinction. The Department of Athletics has also successfully hosted two Big South Conference Tournaments that produced revenue for the school.

Cone has overseen construction projects that will dramatically improve the facilities in which UNC Asheville’s Bulldog student-athletes compete and train. (1) The North Carolina Center for Health and Wellness/Kimmel Arena is presently under construction. Funded partly through a $35 million state appropriation, Cone helped raise more than seven million dollars in private funds to construct the Kimmel Arena, a major convocation space that will accommodate larger group events than the campus has been able to host before. Among other things, this will allow the university to host its own graduation on campus, attract major venue speakers and performances, and will secure a future home for men’s and women’s basketball teams. (2) Renovation and repairs to the Karl Straus Track began in the spring of 2009 and should be completed in the next year. Cone helped raised more than one million dollars in private funding for the track project. (3) Cone negotiated a partnership with the Crowne Plaza Hotel and Resort for construction of a new Bulldog tennis facility which has indoor courts, composition courts and six hard courts that each Bulldog team played in last season.

She has also been a leader in the Asheville community. Last year, Cone helped create the Asheville Sports Commission which helps bring athletic events to Buncombe County. She worked closely with the commission to help bring the Southern Conference Men’s and Women’s Basketball Tournament back to Asheville starting in March of 2012 with some of the games being played at Kimmel Arena.

The 2007-08 year was another outstanding year for Cone and the Department of Athletics. The men’s basketball team was co-regular season champions of the Big South Conference and earned a bid to the National Invitational Tournament, making UNC Asheville the first men’s basketball team in Big South history to receive a bid to the NIT. Cone helped the department successfully host the Big South Conference Men’s Basketball Tournament and Women’s Basketball Tournament in back-to-back weekends. In October of 2007, Cone was named the 2007 Division I-AAA Administrator of the Year by the National Association of Collegiate Women Athletic Administrators. UNC Asheville Chancellor Anne Ponder was delighted to see Cone receive the award. “Janet Cone’s inspirational leadership has set a very high standard for our student-athletes and our coaches, all of whom continue to be winners both on and off the field,” stated Ponder. “We are thrilled that she is being recognized in this way for her vision, her energy, and her tenacity, qualities our University benefits from each and every day.”

UNC ASHEVILLE HEAD COACHES

Since UNC Asheville first fielded athletics teams in the 1930s (then known as Biltmore College), the bulldog has been its mascot. Early students chose the bulldog for its fierce and tenacious reputation. In the decades that have followed, the bulldog has become a beloved symbol of our University.

In 1948, “Puck,” arrived on campus and began a tradition of live bulldog mascots that lasted into the 1980s. Puck, named after the character in Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream, was followed by Puck II and in the 1960s by Chug-a-lug. In the 1980s the campus welcomed Winston, named after British Prime Minister Winston Churchill, both for his bulldogged resolve as well as his appearance. Winston appeared for only a year and the tradition of a live mascot fell out of use. In 2009 thanks to a group of student organizers, UNC Asheville welcomed a new bulldog mascot to the University community. “Rocky I” made his first public appearance at halftime of UNC Asheville’s homecoming basketball game on Feb. 21, 2009. Alumni couple, Alexis Johnson (’97) and Ed Johnson (’96), also a member of the math faculty, are his keepers.

The name “Rocky” was suggested by staff member Nancy Williams during a naming contest sponsored by the Athletics Department in 1995. Though the rumor has often been that the name came from Sylvester Stallone’s famous character, Rocky Balboa, which is based on the American prize fighter Rocky Marciano, the name was chosen because it means steadfast, much like the mountains that surround campus. Ironically, the name “Rocky,” which is of English origin, is a derivation of the name “Roch” (also Rocco and Roque) after St. Roch, the Patron Saint of Dogs.

In addition to the live bulldogs, the UNC Asheville mascot has also been depicted by an army of costumed students. Since the 1960s, students dressed as the bulldog have rallied the fans at thousands of games in support of Bulldog Athletics. The present incarnation of Rocky was introduced during the 2006-2007 season and is the first to accurately reflect the logo image of the bulldog used on signs and in print publications. That image, introduced during the 2004-05 season is the fifth official incarnation of the UNC Asheville bulldog logo.

In the late 1990s, the image of the bulldog, or “Rocky,” was immortalized in aluminum through a gift by the Class of 1998. Sculpted by Matt West (‘00) and modeled after a canine friend of the University, Pete “Bubba” McGill, the statue of Rocky stands in front of the Justice Center as a sentinel over campus. Careful observers will note a chipped tooth and a torn ear, signs of his ferocity. Despite his tough outward appearance, the statue of Rocky is beloved by fans. Continuing a tradition begun by the Class of 1998, each year, during convocation and commencement, freshman and seniors rub his head for good luck before going to the ceremonies. Seniors are also often spotted getting their picture made riding Rocky in the days leading up to graduation.

UNC Asheville is proud of its bulldog heritage. Today, Rocky, in all of his forms serves as a rallying point for fans far and wide.

Important NCAA Terms

A prospective student-athlete is a student who has started classes for the ninth grade. In addition, a student who has not started classes for the ninth grade be-comes a prospective student-athlete if the institution provides such an individual (or the individual’s relatives or friends) any financial assistance or other benefits that the institution does not provide to prospective students generally. An indi-vidual remains a prospective student-athlete until one of the following occurs (whichever is earlier):

(a) The individual officially registers and enrolls in a minimum full-time program of studies and attends classes in any term of a four-year collegiate institution’s regular academic year (excluding summer); or(b) The individual participates in a regular squad practice or competition at a four-year collegiate institution that occurs before the beginning of any term; or (Re-vised: 1/11/89, 1/10/90)(c) The individual officially registers and enrolls and attends classes during the sum-mer prior to initial enrollment. (Adopted: 4/28/05, Revised: 1/17/09)

Contact: A contact is any face-to-face encounter between a prospective student-athlete or the prospective student-athlete’s parents, relatives or legal guardians and an institutional staff member or athletics representative during which any dialogue occurs in excess of an exchange of a greeting. Any such face-to-face encounter that is prearranged (e.g., staff member positions himself or herself in a location where contact is possible) or that takes place on the grounds of the prospective student-athlete’s educational institution or at the site of organized competition or practice involving the prospective student-athlete or the prospective student-athlete’s high school, preparatory school, two-year college or all-star team shall be considered a contact, regardless of whether any conversation occurs. However, an institutional staff member or athletics representative who is approached by a pro-spective student-athlete or the prospective student-athlete’s parents, relatives or legal guardians at any location shall not use a contact, provided the encounter was not prearranged and the staff member or athletics representative does not engage in any dialogue in excess of a greeting and takes appropriate steps to immediately terminate the encounter.

Contact Period: A contact period is that period of time when it is permissible for authorized athletics department staff members to make in-person, off-campus recruiting contacts and evaluations.

Evaluation: Evaluation is any off-campus activity designed to assess the academic qualifications or athletics ability of a prospective student-athlete, including any visit to a prospec-tive student-athlete’s educational institution (during which no contact occurs) or the observation of a prospective student-athlete participating in any practice or competition at any site.

Evaluation Period:An evaluation period is a period of time when it is permissible for authorized ath-letics department staff members to be involved in off-campus activities designed to assess the academic qualifications and playing ability of prospective student-athletes. No in-person, off-campus recruiting contacts shall be made with the pro-spective student-athlete during an evaluation period.

Quiet Period: A quiet period is a period of time when it is permissible to make in-person recruit-ing contacts only on the institution’s campus. No in-person, off-campus recruiting contacts or evaluations may be made during the quiet period.

Dead period: A dead period is a period of time when it is not permissible to make in-person recruiting contacts or evaluations on or off the institution’s campus or to permit official or unofficial visits by prospective student-athletes to the institution’s cam-pus. The provision of complimentary admissions to a prospective student-athlete during a dead period is prohibited, except as provided in Bylaw 13.7.2.5 for a pro-spective student-athlete who visits an institution as part of a group. During a dead period, a coaching staff member may not serve as a speaker at or attend a meeting or banquet at which prospective student-athletes are in attendance, except as provided in Bylaw 13.1.8.1, and may not visit a prospective student-athlete’s educa-tional institution. It remains permissible, however, for an institutional staff member to write or telephone a prospective student-athlete during a dead period.

Initial Eligibility: A student-athlete who enrolls in a member institution as an entering freshman with no previous full-time college attendance shall meet specific NCAA academic requirements, as certified by the NCAA Eligibility Center, as approved by the Ex-ecutive Committee, and any applicable institutional and conference regulations, to be considered a qualifier and thus be eligible for financial aid, practice and compe-tition during the first academic year in residence.

“The athletics scholarship I received from UNC Asheville allowed me to focus solely on my academics and soccer, without being concerned about how to pay for school. I donate to the Bulldog Athletics Club now so that current and future student-athletes can enjoy the same experience I did. Being a student-athlete at UNC Asheville was one of the best experiences of my life and the values and lessons I learned have helped me in my professional career and my personal life. Go Bulldogs!”

As the calendar turns from 2010 to 2011, the UNC Asheville Bulldogs and their fans will continue to mark the final season of basketball at the Justice Center. This is a bittersweet time in the history of the Athletics program, as the basketball teams say goodbye to their home since 1963, and reflect on the memories of the last six decades. But the sadness and nostalgia from this transition are tempered by the excitement surrounding next season, when UNC Asheville will be the home for the new Wilma Sherrill Center and Kimmel Arena, which will serve as the Bulldogs home court going forward.

Located in the heart of campus, and attached to the existing Health and Fitness Center, the Sher-Located in the heart of campus, and attached to the existing Health and Fitness Center, the Sher-Located in the heart of campus, and attached to the existing Health and Fitness Center, the Sherrill Center will be a state-of-the-art facility dedicated to supporting UNC Asheville’s emphasis on in-terdisciplinary research, with an initial focus on three of North Carolina’s most urgent health concerns: childhood obesity, workplace wellness, and active aging. The 133,000 square foot building will also serve as an invaluable resource to the state by assessing community-based programs that address critical wellness issues, supporting UNC Asheville’s programs in health and wellness promotion, and increasing collaboration among health and wellness providers across the Western Carolina region and the state. The Sherrill Center will also extensively involve the members of the North Carolina Center for Cre-ative Retirement (NCCCR), located in the nearby Reuter Center.

But this facility will also provide other opportunities, and especially to the campus community. The building will also house a Wellness Café, a Chancellor’s Conference Room for meetings and other events, the school’s Health & Wellness Department academic offices, numerous classrooms and labs, a Demonstration Kitchen to be used for nutrition training, and a meditation room. The Sherrill Center will also offer a Dance studio, Fitness and Weight room, a Large Group Fitness Room for aerobics, tai chi, and other classes, a resource room for student collaborations, and a number of gathering spots and

study areas for students.

But for Bulldog basketball fans, the best part of the new building will be Kimmel Are-na, which will be the home for the men’s and women’s teams. The arena will have a capacity of approximately 3200 for games, and is capa-ble of hosting up to 3800 for concerts, speakers, conferences, and other events. Kimmel Arena

The sherrill CenTer

will also serve as the site for the University’s December graduation and as a backup for the Spring Commencement. This will be the first facility on campus that is capable of accommodating the entire campus community.

The arena will offer several benefits for guests, providing unparalleled sight lines, comfortable seat-ing, and modern amenities consisting of: two Daktronics video boards, a center-hung scoreboard, digital scorer’s table, ample restroom facilities, a wide concourse which also serves as a walking track, and two large concession stands with TV displays so fans won’t miss a moment of the action. Also included will be the Bulldog Scholarship Hospitality Lounge to be used for game day entertaining, a satellite Sports Medicine Room where the athletes can receive taping and treatment, an Arena Box Office, and the new Bulldog Team Store, where fans can purchase merchandise and apparel. There will also be a UNC Asheville Athletics Hall of Fame to honor the traditions and Bulldog Student-Athletes of seasons past.

and kimmel arena

The 2010-11 basketball season will be the last season that UNC Asheville basketball teams play in the Justice Center. The on-campus facility has been the home to Bulldog basketball for the past 47 years. Both the men’s and women’s basketball team will move next door to the Kimmel Arena starting in the 2011-12 season.

While it will be the last year for bas-ketball games, the Justice Center will still be the home of UNC Asheville volleyball. The gym will also be used for intramurals and other things, so the Justice Center isn’t going away either.

There are a lot of memories for Bull-dog fans, friends and opponents at Justice Center. A national championship team played here along with players that played in the NBA and WNBA plus coaches who went on to coach in the NBA and top col-legiate programs.

The building was constructed in 1963 for a cost of close to $500,000. It was originally called the Physical Education Building. The school was known as Asheville-Biltmore College and was a Junior College. The first ever basketball game played here was on December 5, 1963 when the Bulldogs hosted Tusculum College. The Pioneers were able to win the game, 70-58 but just two days later the Bulldogs picked up their first vic-tory in their new home, 68-66 over Lees-McRae.

Bob Hartman was the first men’s basketball coach for Asheville-Bilt-more College that would play in the new gym. He also served as Athletics Director and he would lead the young program through their final days as a junior college and the early days of being a four-year school. The school became a four-year school in the 1964-65 season and finished with a 14-13 overall record. Coach Hartman would continue to produce exciting and winning teams throughout the rest of the decade.

The gym would host more than just the Bulldogs during that time as the Harlem Globetrotters played in front of a sell-out crowd on March 18, 1965. The previous year had seen the 12th annual Blue-White High School All-Star game played in front of another sell-out crowd.

In the 1967-68 season, the Bulldogs would be ranked nationally in the NAIA for the first time ever. Coach Hartman’s club opened the sea-son by capturing the Optimist Tournament at home with wins over Mars Hill and Hanover (IN) College. Hanover was coached by future NBA head coach Del Harris.

The following season was the Bulldogs first ever championship team to play in the gym. Asheville-Biltmore, led by Kentucky transfer Mickey Gibson and Indiana native Jim McElhaney, would win the District 6 cham-pionship and advance to the NAIA Tournament in Kansas City.

The next year had another big change for the school as it became a part of the North Carolina state system and would be named UNC Asheville. In the summer of 1970, NBA great Rick Barry would host a camp called Rick Barry’s 1970 All-Star Basketball Camp in the gym. Coach Hartman and Barry would host a camp that would include instructors such as future NBA coaches Doug Moe, Larry Brown and North Carolina standout Charlie Scott.

The 1970-71 season would see another championship as the Bull-dogs captured the District 6 championship with a buzzer-beating win over Western Carolina in Greenville, S.C. The Bulldogs would play in front of sell-out crowds throughout the season at home, including a victory over the Catamounts.

In 1973, the Bulldogs would host their first ever District 6 cham-pionship game when Asheville faced South Carolina State for a trip to Kansas City. S.C. State would win the title game, 87-78.

The Physical Education Building would be renamed on November 28, 1975 for Asheville native and legendary football player, Charlie Justice. An Asheville native, Charlie “Choo-Choo” Justice earned an extraordi-nary record as a local football player before he joined the military. After World War II, he was an All-American at the University of North Carolina - Chapel Hill. At UNC-Chapel Hill, his ability was credited with lifting the Tar Heels to national prominence during the 1946-49 seasons. He went on to play four seasons with the Washington Redskins, and was named to the Professional Football Hall of Fame in 1961.

The first official game in the newly named Justice Center came on Nov. 28 when the Bulldogs defeated Hanover College, 71-57 as Bamford Jones scored 19 points. The dedication took place during the first night of 10th annual Optimist Tip-Off Tournament. The building was officially named Justice Center before the Asheville-Hanover game.

THE JUSTICE CENTER

Coach Hartman retired following the 1978-79 season and Jerry Green a player from the Asheville-Biltmore days, would be the program’s second head coach. He quickly got the Bulldogs winning again as he led the program to five straight winning seasons plus leading it from the final days of NAIA to NCAA Division II and Division I.

The Bulldog men’s team wasn’t the only winning basketball team in Justice Center during that time. Women’s basketball had come to UNC Asheville in the mid 70’s and in the early 80’s a great team was taking shape. Led by head coach Helen Carroll, the Bulldogs were becoming a force in the NAIA’s District 26 race. In the 1983-84 season, the Justice Center would feature a national championship team.

The Bulldogs, led by All-America center Sheila Ford and key play-ers Trish Wyatt and Kim Duncan led the school to its only national title. Asheville finished with a 32-5 overall record and went unbeaten at Jus-tice that special season. The Bulldogs would earn a trip to Cedar Rapids, Iowa, site of the NAIA National Championship, when they routed Spring Garden (Pa.) 87-59 at Justice Center. Carroll’s unseeded team pulled off four great wins in Cedar Rapids, including a 72-70 overtime victory over Portland. Wyatt, an Asheville native, would hit the winning shot.

The Justice Center would continue to give Bulldog fans highlights in the Division I era that started in 1986. Jerry Green led Asheville to some memorable wins before leaving in the summer of 1988 to become an Assistant Coach at the University of Kansas. Green would join Asheville native Roy Williams at Kansas as Williams was named head coach.

The third men’s coach in school history would be New England na-tive Don Doucette. Doucette came to the mountains in the summer of 1988 and made an impact right away when he led the Bulldogs to the 1989 Big South Conference championship. One of Asheville’s best Justice Center moments that year came late in the season when Asheville would beat Radford, 103-74. The Highlanders were coached that night by future Clemson head coach Oliver Purnell.

The women’s program could not build on the magic of the 1983-84 season but coaches’ Mary Ann Myers, Lalon Jones, Ray Ingram and Kath-

leen Weber would still manage to pull out some great wins. In December of 1988, the Bulldog women’s team would welcome national power N.C. State to Justice Center coached by the late Kay Yow. The Wolfpack fea-tured future WNBA players Andrea Stinson and Rhonda Mapp and won handily, 84-44 before a close to sell-out crowd at Justice.

On the men’s side, Eddie Biedenbach succeeded Randy Wiel as head coach in spring of 1996. Biedenbach led Asheville to two consecutive Big South Conference regular-season titles as the Bulldogs went 21-1 at Jus-tice during those two years. A highlight win was a victory over Georgia State on Nov. 25, 1997 when the Bulldogs defeated Lefty Driesell’s Pan-thers, 74-64.

The Justice Center would be renovated in the middle of the 1999-00 season as chair-back seats were added behind the benches plus new bleacher seating would go on the opposite side. That year would also see a first at Justice Center when it would host a TV game as SportSouth televised a double-header involving UNC Asheville and High Point.

Women’s basketball would add some excitement to Justice when Betsy Blose became head coach in the spring of 2002. Blose coached the most improved team in the nation during the 2003-04 campaign when the Bulldogs went from 3-25 to 19-9.

The Justice Center would see another Bulldog championship team in March 2007 when Blose’s team captured the Big South Conference championship. Athletic Director Janet Cone convinced the Big South to send the women’s tournament in 2007 and 2008 to the Justice Center. With great crowds watching each game, the Bulldogs would win three games, including a 67-57 victory over Radford in the championship game that was televised regionally by FoxSports.

The men’s team would enjoy the spotlight the following year. The Bulldogs would win a school-record 23 games and would garner all sorts of national attention thanks to the play of 7-9 center Kenny George. Ken-ny would lead the national in field goal percentage and would be featured on ESPN and the New York Times. Asheville would capture the regular-season championship and host the Big South Tournament. The Bulldogs

played to overflowing crowds at Justice Center the whole sea-son. ESPN’s cameras would be at Justice Center to broadcast the semifinals and championship game of the Big South Tourna-ment. Asheville would get to the finals of the tournament before being beaten by Winthrop, 66-48.

The final season of basketball at Justice Center will be celebrat-ed throughout the season with a countdown at each game as someone from UNC Asheville’s past will take down a number. The final regular season game will be played on February 26, 2011 when the Bulldog men’s team hosts Radford. A special ceremony will be held following the game to celebrate the legacy of the basketball played at Justice Center.
