1UNIVERSITY OF SAN FRANCISCO MEN’S BASKETBALL MEDIA GUIDE
Selecting a University and Basketball Program that fit the individual is not an easy choice to make. This is a decision that will have a great impact on you, both as a student and an athlete. At the University of San Francisco, student-athletes get the opportunity to grow in the classroom, on the basketball court and, most importantly, in life.
USF is a tradition rich Jesuit Institution and San Francisco’s largest independent university campus. It is located on a hilltop near Golden Gate Park, and over-looks downtown San Francisco and the Pacific Ocean. USF offers Undergraduate and Graduate Programs in arts, sciences, business, and nursing. Profes-sional programs are offered by the School of Nursing, School of Law, School of Business Administration, the College of Professional Studies, and the School of Education. The average undergraduate class size is 25 students. The University has an outstanding reputation for student ethnic diversity and interna-tional student enrollment. On campus and in the city, you will find a broad array of social activities and an interesting mix of cultures unmatched anywhere in the United States.
On the basketball court, USF is a ninety-eight year old program that is the definition of tradition. Beginning with Jimmy Needles in the 1920’s, who ended up leading the US Basketball team to the first Gold Medal awarded in the 1936 Olympics, to the likes of legendary Naismith Hall of Fame coaches Pete Newell and Phil Woolpert and legendary Hall of Fame players KC Jones and Bill Russell, USF basketball has been a dominant program in parts of six decades. Street & Smith’s Magazine rated USF Basketball No. 29 among the top-100 Greatest College Programs of All-Time.
Housed in the historic War Memorial Gym, the Dons have accomplished great things: the second longest win streak in NCAA history with 60 straight victo-ries, 31 NBA Championships won by Dons alumni – more than any other NCAA school, 16 NCAA tournament berths, 15 West Coast Conference Cham-pionships and four USF players and coaches have been inducted to the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame.
I begin the ninety-seventh year of a storied program that sits in the best city in the United States. Our basketball program will take on tough opponents as we compete for championships. I hope you will give strong consideration to all that USF has to offer and envision what it would mean to you to be a mem-ber of the championship-caliber basketball program that we are building.
It is my goal to see our student athletes graduate from the University of San Francisco and go on to establish satisfying careers. Above all, I want them to be productive and successful citizens in the game of life. I believe that you can accomplish these goals and more by becoming part of the University of San Francisco program.
Best of luck to you as a student and as an athlete. I look forward to getting to know you!
Sincerely,
RexWalters,USFBasketball

2009-2010SEASONPREVIEW
A CENTURY IN THE MAKING
One hundred years after the first USF team laced up its shoes to do bat-tle on the hardwood, the 2009-10 edition is generating plenty of buzz after a complete roster makeover by second-year head coach Rex Walters and his staff. In just two seasons under the direction of the former Kansas star and NBA veteran, the Dons have a radically different look to close out the decade. Only one USF player – two-time All-West Coast Conference First Team selection Dior Lowhorn – has spent two seasons in the Green and Gold on a roster filled with talented size and versatile perimeter players.
After two seasons of transition within the program, USF looks poised to challenge in an ever-improving conference. Four starters and six letter-winners return to the fold this year and all gained valuable experience. Lowhorn, who matched Naismith Hall-of-Famer and USF Legend Bill Rus-sell as the fastest Don to 1,000 career points, headlines the group. One of just three players to record at least 600 points in a single season twice (Bill Cartwright & Quintin Dailey), Lowhorn is the first player to lead the WCC in overall and league scoring in back-to-back seasons since Gonzaga’s Jeff Brown accomplished the feat from 1993-95.
Senior guard Dontae Bryant turned in a solid first season on the Hilltop and rated in the top-10 among WCC leaders in assists (3.14), steals (1.34) and assist/turnover ratio (1.69). Senior forward Blake Wallace made some big
contributions in his first season in the Green and Gold and ranked fourth on the team in scoring (8.5) and second in rebounds (4.1). A talented pe-rimeter player, Wallace ranked fifth among WCC leaders in 3-point field accuracy (.425).
Last season, after just two months on the job, the USF coaching staff brought in a group of newcomers who made big contributions in their first seasons on the Hilltop. The first recruiting class signed by Walters and his staff accounted for .518 of the scoring, .528 of the rebounding and .701 of the assists and averaged 35.1 points, 16.9 rebounds and 8.8 assists per game. Entering the 2009-10 campaign this group looks to make even more contributions in their second year in the Green and Gold.
A strong group of sophomores returns ready to put hard-won lessons to work. Guards Peter Smith and Kwame Vaughn and forward Angelo Calo-iaro gained plenty of experience in their rookie campaigns. All three started for the Dons last season and figure prominently for USF in 2009-10. Smith will honor his father’s memory by wearing Phil Smith’s retired No. 20 jersey this season. An exciting playmaker, Vaughn ranked second on the team in scoring (10.8) a year ago. Caloiaro did a little bit of everything for the Dons as a freshman and looks for improvement in all facets as a sophomore. Red-shirt sophomore guard Rashad Green will also compete for the Dons after sitting out all last season under NCAA transfer rules.

2009-2010SEASONPREVIEW
INTERNATIONAL INFLUX
San Francisco will feature a European flavor in 2009-10 with the addi-tion of three talented international players. Freshman center Tomas Bruha (Prague, Czech Republic) is a versatile 7-footer who boasts plenty of inter-national experience after competing for the Czech junior national team. A 2009 Junior College All-American, junior center Moustapha Diarra (Mar-seille, France) brings an impressive resume to the Hilltop after averaging 19 points, 10 rebounds and three blocks per game for Sheridan Junior College (Wyoming). Nikola Stojiljkovic (Paris, France) is a gifted perimeter play-er who competed internationally with the elite INSEP Academy in France.
SO-CAL STANDOUTS READY TO GO
USF mined talent-rich Southern California and landed three outstanding freshmen from the Southland, including a pair of All-State guards. Forward Perris Blackwell (Etiwanda, CA) turned in an outstanding senior season at prep power Etiwanda High School, averaging 15.1 points, 9.2 rebounds and 1.2 blocks per game last year. Dominique O’Connor (Los Angeles) captured LA City Player of the Year honors in one publication and was named to the All-State Team after lifting Westchester High School to the 2009 Califor-nia State Division I Championship, averaging 15.3 points, 6.7 assists and 3.0 steals per game as a senior for the Comets. Michael Williams (Van Nuys, CA) captured All-State honors and was named LA City Player of the Year
after averaging 18.7 points on .450 shooting from 3-point range to go along with 4.1 assists as a Taft High School senior.
THE WEST COAST CONFERENCE
Competition in the West Coast Conference figures to be fierce as usual in 2009-10, the 57th season of league play. For the second straight year, three league teams qualified for the postseason last season. Gonzaga reached the Sweet-16 before falling to eventual NCAA Champion North Carolina and Saint Mary’s won a pair of games in the NIT. Portland earned a berth in the first annual College Basketball Invitational Tournament and fell in the opening round.
THE WCC TOURNAMENT
After an outstanding inaugural event, the 2010 WCC Tournament returns to the Orleans Arena in Las Vegas. The league showcase shattered previ-ous attendance records and the semifinals and finals contests were sellouts. This year marks the 24th men’s and 18th annual women’s tournament.

WAR MEMORIAL GYM UPDATED
Entering its sixth decade of service, War Memorial Gym has undergone significant upgrades for the 2009-10 season. Headlining the changes is a new hard-wood floor, replacing the original installation from 1959. New standalone baskets replace the suspended hoops, improving sightlines and providing a clean-er look to the arena. New banners commemorating USF’s basketball exploits hang proudly from the rafters, while new lighting will accentuate all the chang-es in the “House That Russell Built”.

A PROUD TRADITION OF CHAMPIONS
USF basketball has a rich tradition of excellence reaching back to its first season of competition in 1910 when still called St. Ignatius College. Domi-nant players wearing the Green and Gold and legendary coaches directing them have propelled the Dons to the top of the basketball world in six dif-ferent decades. Jimmy Needles was the first coach to guide USF to prom-inence in the 1920’s, helping the Gray Fog to the 1929 Pacific Coast title and later led the United States to Olympic Gold in the inaugural competi-tion in the 1936 Berlin Games.
Pete Newell guided USF to its first national championship in the 1949 NIT where the Dons were the first West Coast school ever invited to partici-pate. After an inauspicious start, Newell protégé Phil Woolpert lifted San Francisco to the top of the basketball world when the Dons captured back-to-back NCAA titles in 1955-56 and then advanced to the 1957 Final Four, despite the absence of future NBA legends Bill Russell and K.C. Jones.
San Francisco rose to prominence again in the 1960’s under the direction of Pete Peletta and made four consecutive postseason appearances, be-ginning in 1963 when the Dons were picked to finish second in the nation by many pundits. Unfortunately for the Green and Gold, John Wooden’s UCLA squads stood in the way and the Bruins eliminated USF from the NCAA Tournament from 1963-65.
Former Don standout guard Bob Gaillard took over the reigns in the early 1970’s and led USF to five NCAA berths, but were twice eliminated by UCLA during its run of seven straight national championships. Bill Cart-wright, USF’s all-time leading scorer, bookended the 1970’s and elevated the Dons to a No. 1 ranking in 1977.
After a long postseason hiatus, Phil Mathews directed the Dons back into “The Dance” after a sprint through the 1998 West Coast Conference Tournament, capped by an electrifying win against Gonzaga in the title game. San Francisco captured its fifth NIT Postseason invitation in 2004 and are now poised for future success under the direction of former Kansas star Rex Walters.

REPRESENTING A GLOBAL UNIVERSITY:
An urban university located in one of the world’s most dynamic and diverse cities, the University of San Francisco has long been a pioneer for social jus-tice and students from more than 80 countries currently attend USF. Dons Athletics have long been pioneers of diversity and three of USF’s most leg-endary programs exemplify this trait.
USF’s 1955-56 NCAA Championship basketball team was the first team in NCAA history to feature three African American starters, headlined by NBA legends K.C. Jones and Bill Russell a decade before West Texas State started five en route to the 1966 title.
USF’s storied 1951 “Unbeaten, Untied and Uninvited” football team was one of the top teams in collegiate history, featuring an NCAA record three players who would be inducted into the National Football League Hall of Fame in Canton. A berth in the Orange Bowl was offered, following an unblemished 9-0 season, but only if the Dons left their two African-American players at home. The team declined and USF was forced to immediately drop football due to financial problems.
One of the most successful programs in NCAA history, Dons soccer cap-tured five NCAA Championships beginning in 1966 featuring a “United Na-tions” roster, with prominent players from four continents.
In the 2007-08 academic year student athletes from 34 countries repre-sented the Green and Gold.

USF DONS BAY AREA CONNECTION
Since its first season of competition, San Francisco basketball rosters have featured numerous local products.
USF’s 1949 NIT Championship team featured seven Bay Area products among its top 10 leading scorers, including All-Americans Don Lofgran (Oakland/Oakland) and Renee Herrerias (San Francisco/St. Ignatius). Three players on the roster played at San Francis-co’s Washington High School (Don Giesen, Ross Giudice and Jack Hanley), while St. Ig-natius was represented by a pair (Herrerias and Joe McNamee).
San Francisco’s Back-to-Back 1955-56 NCAA Championship squads featured plenty of San Francisco and East Bay products. In fact, on a roster featuring just one non-Cali-fornian, seven players, including All-American K.C. Jones (Commerce), were native San Franciscans and two more were from Oakland, including All-American Bill Russell (Mc-Clymonds).

2009 RENOVATIONS
During the Summer, USF Athletics honors a remarkable past and prepares for the next generation with a major renovation in War Memorial Gym. Among a number of improvements was the first floor replacement done since the arena opened in 1958-59. Along with the new hardwood flooring, the gym is sporting a fresh court design and a new coat of paint from floor to ceiling. The wooden bleachers on the ends of the court were replaced, and new lights were installed.
Upon entering War Memorial Gym, fans will notice a number of other changes, starting with new entrances to the arena, new retired jerseys hanging above the court, as well as new NCAA and conference champion-ship banners, celebrating the legacy and tradition of USF’s basketball and volleyball programs.
The south lobby of the gym underwent construction as well to create a more permanent concessions area.

A Word from Coach Walters On the Importance of the 6th Man Club
Let’s get the Men’s Basketball Program at the University of San Francisco back to where it belongs. The 6th Man Club is your opportunity to provide our student-athletes and coaching staff all that they need to be successful in the classroom, in the community and on the court. When you become a member of the 6th Man Club, you become a member of our Basketball Program. You will get to meet and know the fine young men that are rep-resenting USF. There will be exciting events and activities that will give you an inside look at what we are building here on the Hilltop.
GAMEDAY: THE 6th MAN CLUB
“The 6th Man Club has helped our program tremendously during my time here at USF. I have participated in special events with
the members and enjoy seeing them at our games. The donations and support they provide our program are really starting to pay
dividends in my senior year. I am excited for the new energy this season in the 6th Man Club.”
- Dior Lowhorn
Your gifts will be available immediately for Coach Walters to address the program’s highest priority needs. A few examples of your support at work, from the perspective of Coach Walters:
DIRECT STUDENT-ATHLETE IMPACT
Your gifts have immediate and direct positive impact on our student-ath-letes. For recruitment, retention, and a competitive edge, your support al-lows my staff and me to provide our players with the highest quality experi-ence while at USF. From training equipment upgrades to supplemental gear, these are the things that can make a difference on the court and in the re-cruiting arena.
ENHANCED ACADEMIC SUPPORT
My focus is on developing successful young men in the classroom, in the community, and on the court. While we have an outstanding academic sup-port department within athletics, we can always benefit from increased re-sources. Whether additional tutors or more personalized attention, your support will help pave the way for the team’s academic success.
IN-SEASON SUPPORT & TRAVEL
Scheduling home games against nationally recognized opponents takes work and resources. Gifts to the 6th Man Club will provide assistance as I work to schedule competitive, compelling, and entertaining home games. In addition, your support is critical as I look to arrange an international and culturally rewarding trip for my players.
MULTIMEDIA & TECHNOLOGY
From projection screens to DVD players, these multimedia devices play a critical role in our ability to conduct individual and team critiques. In addi-tion, an updated locker room environment places USF on par with peer programs and significantly aids my coaching staff and me as we strive to re-cruit the best talent and best fit for the program.

A PLACE LIKE NO OTHER
Located in the heart of one of the world’s most lively cities, the University of San Fran-cisco boasts an ideal living and learning environment. Golden Gate Park, the largest municipal park in the United States is in our backyard. Lone Mountain, one of San Fran-cisco’s 10 highest peaks, is our home. And our view can’t be beat.
The USF student body is the most ethnically diverse of the 28 Jesuit colleges and uni-versities and is among the top-20 most ethnically diverse of all colleges and universities in the country. But our diversity goes beyond ethnic categories to include a rich mix-ture of economic, educational, religious and geographic backgrounds. USF students are the first in their families to go to college as well as children of doctors and lawyers. They are from 48 states, two U.S. Territories and 84 countries.
USF STUDENTS MAKING A DIFFERENCE
The results are in: USF offers a more cultural, community-minded college experience than most U.S. universities, according to a UCLA study of more than 150 four-year universities. According to the survey of freshmen students across the country, 73 per-cent of USF students did community service, compared to a national average of 53 percent.
USF’s 8,500-member student body is composed of students from 75 countries, and is ranked in the Top 15 national universities for student diversity and international stu-dent enrollment.
The University of San Francisco is also known for its public service efforts. USF stu-dents do more tutoring, volunteering, and visiting museums than the national average. While here, students say their appreciation for cultural differences and social justice issues increases. According to a May 2002 survey of graduating seniors, nearly 70 per-cent of students say their appreciation of those increased while at USF, while about 60 percent said USF enhanced their sense of social justice.
REVEALED: GARDEN OF EDEN? ALMOST
USF prides itself in being a “green” campus committed to protecting the environment. The university recently installed solar panels on the roof of the Hayes-Healy residence halls and the Koret Center to reduce reliance on fossil fuels. The campus isn’t just a col-lection of buildings. It’s also home to more than 100 species of native California plants-planted, potted, and positioned all over a picturesque 55 acres. The grounds have twice been recognized nationally with Professional Grounds Management awards. Among the stand-outs are majestic Redwoods, spiraling Monterey Cypress, and its smaller hy-bridized cousin and university tree, the Leyland Cypress.

HEAD COACH REX WALTERS Second Year (Kansas, 1993)
A DON OF THE NEW ERA
A new era began April 7, 2008 when the University of San Francisco named Rex Walters head coach of the men’s basketball program. The former Kansas star and NBA veteran hit the ground running and entering his second sea-son on the Hilltop, all but one player on the 2009-10 roster was brought to USF by Walters and his coaching staff. San Francisco has added talented size and versatile perimeter players who look prepared to follow Walters’ man-tra: Play hard. Play smart. Play together.
MAKING STRIDES IN YEAR ONE
In his first season at USF, Walters took over a full blown rebuilding project with just six letter-winners and two start-ers returning. Despite the challenges, Walters directed the Dons to a 5-1 start - the best for the Green and Gold since 1999-00 - and directed USF to its first winning non-conference season since 2004-05. Along the way, San Fran-cisco won the 2008 Verizon Wireless Tipoff Classic and defeated two conference champions - Boise State (WAC) and UC Santa Barbara (Big West). The road victory by the Dons at Hawaii was the first non-conference true road triumph since the 2005-06 campaign and the first win against the Rainbow Warriors since 1988. With the win in the Islands, Walters became the first Dons boss to win his coaching debut since Jim Brovelli in 1985.
In his first season in San Francisco, Walters coached All-West Coast Conference First Team selection Dior Lowhorn, who led the league in scoring for the second consecutive season (20.1). First year Dons recruited by Walters and his staff made 101 of a possible 150 starts in 2008-09 and averaged a combined 35.1 points, 16.9 rebounds and 8.8 assists per game.
USF’s first year players accounted for more than half of the team’s scoring (.518) and rebounding (.528) and chipped in more than 70 percent of the total assists.
Walters and his staff are committed to success in the classroom as well and four Dons earned selection to the 2008-09 WCC Commissioner’s Honor Roll. The overall team GPA made a jump from the previous year and USF was rep-resented on the WCC Winter All-Academic Team.

HEAD COACH REX WALTERS Second Year (Kansas, 1993)
ROCK, CHALK
He first made his name known in college, starring for two seasons at Kan-sas. In 68 starts under Roy Williams, he averaged 15.6 points per game, leading the Jayhawks in scoring during both his junior and senior campaigns.
KU combined to go 56-12 overall in 1991-92 and 1992-93, winning back-to-back Big Eight titles, capped by a trip to the 1993 Final Four. Walters was named to the All-Big Eight team both seasons and was Big Eight Male Ath-lete of the Year as a senior in 1993.
As a junior, Walters averaged 16.0 points per game as the Jayhawks went 27-5. In his senior season, KU had a record of 29-7, with Walters scoring at a clip of 15.3 points per game. Walters was an outstanding scorer from all areas of the court at Kansas, shooting nearly 51% from the field, 42% from three-point range and 85% at the free throw line. His college career origi-nally began at Northwestern University, where he earned honorable men-tion from the Big 10 in 1989-90 after leading the team in scoring (17.6 ppg), three-point shooting (47.3%), free throw shooting (79.4%) and assists (125) as a sophomore.
THE NEW JERSEY NETS SELECT...
After graduating from Kansas in 1993 with a B.S. in education, Walters was selected by New Jersey as the 16th overall pick in the 1993 NBA Draft. He went on to play seven seasons in total with the Nets, Philadelphia 76ers and Miami Heat, averaging 4.6 points and 1.7 assists per game in 13.7 minutes.
Walters averaged a career-best 6.8 points per game for Philadelphia in 1996-97, and made 67 career starts in 335 games. His career assist-to-turn-over ratio was nearly two-to-one. He was New Jersey’s top three-point
shooter in 1994-95 (36.2%) and Philadelphia’s top long-range marksman in 1996-97 (38.5%). A fierce competitor, Walters averaged 12.8 points and 7.3 assists per game in eight starts for the 76ers to end the 1995-96 season. Walters’ professional career spanned nine seasons in total, ending in 2002 after playing internationally for two years and winning an American Basket-ball Association title with the Kansas City Knights.
BEGINNING THE COACHING JOURNEY
Walters’ coaching career began in 2002-03 in Overland Park, Kansas, where he served as an assistant coach for the Blue Valley Northwest High School team that reached the Kansas Class 6A State Tournament.
Walters’ pedigree for coaching began as a player, receiving tutelage from some of the game’s legendary coaches. Roy Williams at the University of Kansas and the NBA’s Chuck Daly, Larry Brown, and Pat Riley all mentored Walters during his years as a player.
PERSONAL
Walters and his wife, Deanna, have five children: Addison (13), Drew (11), Riley (8), Gunner (6), and welcomed their fifth child, Ace Jordan (1), in June of 2008. The Walters family resides in San Francisco
BAY AREA NATIVE RETURNS
A prep star at Piedmont Hills High School in San Jose, Walters made a welcome return to the Bay Area to begin his second Division I head coaching assignment. No stranger to the tradition and legacy of USF Basketball, Walters spent summers playing
in pick-up games at War Memorial Gym while building an outstanding resume as a top collegiate player at Kansas.
BUILDING A WINNER AT FLORIDA ATLANTIC
It was during his senior season at Kansas that Walters made his first con-nection with Matt Doherty, who joined the team as an assistant coach. The two reunited again for Doherty’s single season at FAU, opening the door for Walters’ move to the top.
Coach Walters comes to USF from Florida Atlantic University. In his first season at the helm, Walters guided Florida Atlantic to its second consecu-tive winning season. It was the first time the program posted back-to-back winning campaigns since the team had three straight years of winning bas-ketball from 1989-90 to 1991-92.
In 2006-07, the Owls won 10 Sun Belt Conference games, the third-most for a first-year Sun Belt member. The team also set a program scoring re-cord, averaging 74.9 points per game. Two of Walters’ student-athletes were named Second Team All-Sun Belt, the first student-athletes honored with a major postseason distinction under his direction. The Owls were 15-18 and 8-10 in Sun Belt Conference play in 2007-08.
Prior to Florida Atlantic, Walters’ first collegiate coaching job came at Val-paraiso, a two-year stint as an assistant under Homer Drew. The 2003-04 Hornets were 18-13 overall and advanced to the NCAA Tournament after capturing the Mid-Continent Conference with a record of 11-5.

Rex had a great career, not only as a high school, college and professional player, but he had the passion
of a person who wanted to be a coach. That is what has led him to this opportunity.
He will do a great job.
- Pat RileyPresident, Miami Heat
I think Rex is one of the hardest working players that I had the good fortune to coach in the NBA. Any player
playing for him will be playing for a guy that knows what it takes to be the best player possible. If any player wants
to improve as a basketball player, Rex is the coach they want to play for.

While teaching at Santa Clara, he was recognized for Teaching Excellence and Campus Leadership with the Sears Roebuck Foundation Award.
Early in his career, Father Privett was an instructor at Jesuit High School in Sacramento and Principal of Bellarmine College Preparatory in San Jose.

Regarding USF athletics, Fr. Privett has said, “High graduation rates, partici-pation in community outreach and success in competition all come togeth-er in our USF student-athletes. I am gratified by the high standards achieved in all areas by our student-athletes and the contribution of our intercolle-giate athletic program to the USF community.”
Father Privett strongly supports the commitment to provide all USF teams with the necessary resources to consistently compete for West Coast Con-ference titles. “I am pleased that our trustees unanimously endorsed our Mission and Goals Statement for USF Athletics,” he said. “I support this statement and am confident that the goals we have set for ourselves are achievable and that USF can be a model Division 1 Jesuit intercollegiate ath-letic program.”

MBA - Stanford (1987)
INTRODUCTION:
Debra Gore-Mann begins her fourth year as the Executive Director of Athletics in 2009-10. In her third year as A.D., the University of San Francis-co won the 2008-09 West Coast Conference Men’s All-Sports Award. The honor marked the second time in school history that USF has won the award. The Dons also finished second in the annual Commissioner’s Cup, the highest finish in USF history.
“The 2008-09 year was an extraordinary year in so many ways for USF Athletics,” said Gore-Mann. “We had a strong year thanks to our fall sports teams performing well and the rest of our teams taking advantage of the momentum that start-ed with men’s soccer and volleyball. Our spring sports teams then added to their accolades, pro-pelling us into second overall in the WCC stand-ings. It was truly a collective effort by coaches, staff and student-athletes that we achieved so much last year. We hope to be able to capture the title outright in the near future”.
San Francisco won the Men’s All-Sports Award thanks to first place finishes by the Dons’ men’s golf and men’s soccer programs. The two league championships marked the first time since 2005-06 that the Dons earned two men’s champi-onships in a year - also the only other time the Green and Gold captured the league’s Men’s All-Sports Award.
The 2008-09 year proved to be a successful one for the USF Athletic Department as seven of its athletic programs advanced to their respective NCAA Tournaments. By virtue of winning WCC titles, men’s soccer and men’s golf earned au-tomatic bids to the postseason, while volleyball and women’s golf earned at-large bids to the postseason tournament after finishing second
in league standings. Men’s and women’s track and field, cross country and women’s tennis each had individuals from their programs selected to com-pete in the national postseason.
During 2008-09, USF also claimed many of the West Coast Conference’s top honors, landing three Player of the Year accolades, three Coach of the Year honors and a Freshman of the Year nod. On the coaching side, men’s golf head coach Gary Nelson, men’s soccer head coach Erik Visser and women’s golf head coach Ria Quiazon were named the WCC Coach of the Year for their re-spective sports. USF also added 20 First Team All-West Coast Conference honors to its list of 2008-09 accomplishments.
With the conclusion of the 2008-09 academic year, the West Coast Conference announced the eighth annual Commissioner’s Honor Roll, which recognizes those student-athletes that possess at least a 3.0 GPA on a 4.0 scale. USF placed 96 stu-dent-athletes on the 2008-09 list with 14 earning Gold Honors, 15 earning Silver Honors, and 67 earning Bronze Honors. Women’s soccer had a department high four student-athletes earn gold honors, highlighted by 2009 College of Arts and Sciences Valedictorian Anika Steig.
“In addition to USF’s athletics performances last year, we are equally proud of our student-athletes and their academic excellence,” said Gore-Mann. “This season we saw a renewed commitment to academics from several teams which was re-flected in the overall increases in team GPAs and APR scores. In addition, we are most proud of our graduated senior and goalkeeper, Anika Steig, who was selected as class Valedictorian. The Pol-itics major and Peace and Conflicts minor’s ac-complishments in the classroom were so impres-sive when one couples it with the commitment Anika made to being a student athlete. Anika was our second class valedictorian after Tavo Hall (BB) who was selected in 2007. Our alumni, staff and administration can take pride in USF Athlet-ics commitment to developing both students and athletes who represent our institution with dis-tinction and honor.”
Gore-Mann was named Athletics Director at the University of San Francisco July 21, 2006, and is the first female Director of Athletics at USF and just the third overall in West Coast Conference history. At USF, Gore-Mann serves as the Execu-tive Director of the university’s athletic program, which features seven women’s and seven men’s sports teams, including basketball, golf, tennis, track/field and cross country; soccer, volleyball, and baseball. USF’s athletic staff includes more than 30 full and part-time coaches and adminis-trative and support personnel who provide ser-vices to about 240 student-athletes.
At Stanford, Gore-Mann served as Senior Associ-ate Athletic Director for Finance and Operations from 1999-2005 and most recently served as Se-nior Associate Athletics Director for External Relations and Senior Women’s Administrator. She shared financial responsibility for the more
than $50 million annual Stanford Athletic De-partment budget and shared management of 34 sports. Gore-Mann served as Senior Project Man-ager on the recent Stanford Stadium renovations and served as the lead negotiator on the Cardinal all-school apparel contract with Nike, Inc.. Prior to her tenure at Stanford, Gore-Mann worked in the corporate sector for Bechtel Enterprises, Inc (1993-99), Morgan Stanley & Co. (1987-92) and Raychem Corp (1982-85).
Gore-Mann is married to former USF varsity bas-ketball player Anthony Mann, who was a member of the 1985-86 “Return to Basketball” squad and has a daughter, Quinci.

ON TO THE PROS
We all know the names of legends like Bill Russell and K.C. Jones, but you may not know that USF has sent 23 other standouts to the courts of the NBA, nine total players drafted in the first round alone. Like Jones and Russell, USF Hall of Famers Jim Brovelli and Bill Cartwright have also spent time coaching in the NBA.
Former USF head coach and Naismith Hall-of-Famer Pete Newell also spent much of his career as a scout and General Manager of NBA teams like the Lakers.
MR. BILL
After three All-American seasons at USF and three NBA Championships as a player (‘91, ’92, ’93), Bill Cartwright won two more rings as an assis-tant coach for the Chicago Bulls (‘97, ‘98) and has been in the NBA coach-ing ranks ever since. He is currently an assistant coach for the Oklahoma City Thunder.

TEAM HIGHLIGHTS
USF defeated Manhattan (68-43), Utah (64-63), Bowling Green (49-39) and Loyola of Chicago (48-47) to win the title. The Dons were coached by USF and Naismith Hall of Famer Pete Newell.
The Dons finished the season with a 25-5 mark, after finishing just 13-11 the previous season. Don Lofgran led the team in scoring with 14.7 points per contest.
At the time of USF’s championship, the NIT was considered the top postseason tournament. NCAA champion Kentucky lost in an early round of the NIT. Guards Ross Giudice (USF), Rene Herrerias (California) and forward John Benington (Michigan State) went on to become major college coaches.
Newell and his USF successor, Phil Woolpert, were teammates at Loyola University of L.A. and were coached there by legendary USF coach Jimmy Needles. The Dons beat Loyola of Chicago on a last second free-throw by Giudice.
Former NFL Commissioner Pete Rozelle served as the team’s sports information director.

TEAM HIGHLIGHTS
USF became just the third team to win back-to-back NCAA titles.
USF went undefeated during the 1955-56 season, going a per-fect 29-0. The Dons eventually won 60 straight, then an NCAA record and still the second longest streak in Division I history.
USF won two prestigious in-season tournaments, the Holiday Festival (Madison Square Garden) and the DePaul Invitation-al in Chicago.
Dons’ guard K.C. Jones did not play in the NCAA tourna-ment games, due to it being his fifth year of eligibility. Hal Perry stepped into Jones’ shoes and scored 14 points in the semifi-nals and finals.
Although the team repeated as NCAA champs there were important new players on the team. Mike Farmer (8.4 ppg.), Carl Boldt (8.6) and Gene Brown (7.1) led the newcomers.
USF outscored its opponents 72.2 to 52.2 over the season, a 20-point margin.
Again Phil Woolpert used a surprise tactic, guarding Iowa forward Carl Cain with guard Gene Brown, which turned the contest. USF won the title 83-71.
Hal Perry and Bill Russell were named to the NCAA All-Tour-nament Team.
TEAM HIGHLIGHTS
USF became the first team in NCAA history to advance to three straight Final Fours and pushed its NCAA Tournament winning streak to 11 straight before falling to Kansas, 80-56
Won their third of four consecutive California Basketball Asso-ciation Championships, outscoring league opponents 67.0 ppg - 55.5 ppg
After dropping a 51-47 decision to ancient Bay Area rival Santa Clara, the Dons won 12 of their last 13 games to close out the regular season.
San Francisco won its third straight NCAA Regional champion-ship, dispatching Idaho State 66-51 and then seized a 60-56 win against California. The contest against the Golden Bears fea-tured a meeting between Dons coach Phil Woolpert and his mentor Pete Newell.
California Basketball Association MVP Mike Farmer set the tone for the Dons, averaging 12.0 points and 9.1 rebounds per game, while Gene Brown led USF in scoring at a 15.1 points per game clip.
San Francisco’s 60-game winning streak ended December 17, exactly two years after it started, with a 62-33 loss at Illinois.
USF posted its third of four straight 20-plus win seasons in 1956-57, despite having to replace 46.5 points and 32.3 re-bounds per game represented by departed stars Carl Boldt, K.C. Jones, Hal Perry and Bill Russell.
1957 NCAA FINAL FOUR
- March, 1957 - Municipal Auditorium, Kansas City, MO

THE OPPOSITION
This Year marks the 57th anniversary of Men’s Basketball in the West Coast Conference. San Francisco is the currently league’s most successful team with two NCAA Championships (1955-56), three Final Four appearances (1955-57) and 16 NCAA Tournament berths.
When the West Coast Conference got its start back in 1952, the founders really had only one goal in mind - to create a convenient way for five Bay Area schools to play bas-ketball. What has grown from that original vision 57 years ago is a marvelous cohesive athletics league which is competitive at the national level in 13 sports.
The eight current members of the WCC span the Western United States from Cana-da to Mexico. Though the institutions range from the pine forests of the Northwest to the sun-drenched beaches of Southern California, the combined excellence in athletics and academics sets the conference apart on the national scene and draws the individ-ual institutions together in a common mission.
The WCC sponsors championships in baseball, men’s and women’s basketball, men’s and women’s cross-country, men’s and women’s golf, women’s rowing, men’s and wom-en’s soccer, men’s and women’s tennis and women’s volleyball.
The league was chartered by five Bay Area institutions (Pacific, Saint Mary’s, San Fran-cisco, San Jose State and Santa Clara) as the California Basketball Association, playing its first game on January 2, 1953. After two seasons of play under that name, the con-ference expanded to include Loyola Marymount and Pepperdine in 1955, and became the “West Coast Athletic Conference” in 1956. The name was shortened to “West Coast Conference” in 1989.
The current alignment of Gonzaga, Loyola Marymount, Pepperdine, Portland, Saint Mary’s, San Diego, San Francisco and Santa Clara has remained unchanged since 1979, making the WCC the third most stable conference in the nation. Only the Ivy League and Pacific-10 have been together longer.
In 2001-2002 the conference celebrated its 50th anniversary and named the Top-50 Athletes in Conference history. Eight USF stars made the list including Taggert Bozied from baseball, and Bill Cartwright, Mike Farmer, K.C. Jones, Bill Russell and Phil Smith from men’s basketball. Former women’s basketball stars Valerie Gillon and Lindhe were also selected.
As for its overall success, the WCC has annually advanced at least one team to a na-tional championship semifinal since 1989.

SUPPORTING USF ATHLETICS
Since its inception in 1984, the Green & Gold Club has raised funds for the University of San Francisco’s athletic programs, through scholarship and program support. Achieving athletic excellence is and always will be a team effort. Financial contributions from alumni, parents and friends give our stu-dent-athletes the competitive edge needed to realize their dreams.
A WORD FROM COACH WALTERS ON THE IMPORTANCE OF THE 6TH MAN CLUB
Let’s get the Men’s Basketball Program at the University of San Francisco back to where it needs to be.
The 6th Man Club is your avenue to provide our Student-Athletes and Coaching Staff all that they need to be successful in the classroom, in the community and on the court. We have so much to offer here at USF, but at the same time there are things that we are lacking and definitely need.
When you become a member of the 6th Man Club, you are directly helping us address those needs. Also being a member of the 6th Man Club means you are a member of our Basketball Program. You will get to meet and know the fine young men that are representing USF. There will be exciting events and activities that will give you an inside look at what we are build-ing here with the Basketball Program.
Thank you for taking the time to read this information. We appreciate your support and we look forward to seeing you at War Memorial Gym on game night.
Sincerely,
Rex Walters Head Coach - Men’s Basketball University of San Francisco
