BROOKS DONALD WILLIAMSHEAD COACH- 6th Season

Brooks Donald Williams has led McNeese State to back-to-back Southland Conference Tournament titles and NCAA Tournament appearances and consecutive 20 win seasons the past two years. Williams led McNeese to its most successful season in school history in 2011 by wining the Southland Conference regular season title, only the second in program history. Williams didn’t stop there as she guided the Cowgirls to their first Southland Conference Tournament title and first NCAA Tournament appearance that year. For her accomplishments on the court, Williams was named the league’s and Louisiana’s “Coach of the Year”. Last season, Williams led

the Cowgirls to their second consecutive SLC Tournament title and NCAA Tournament. The Cowgirls came close to picking up their first NCAA Tournament win against Kentucky, falling 68-62 to the SEC regular season champions. The Cowgirls posted a 26-8 overall record and a 13-3 conference record and a 12-2 home record. Four of the eight losses were to teams ranked in the preseason Top 25 poll including Baylor, the 2012 National Champs and UCLA, LSU and Texas A&M. The Cowgirls also played in the preseason WNIT (at UCLA) and hosted a WNIT consolation round tournament. Williams led the Cowgirls to a 26-7 overall record, 15-1 Southland Conference record and an undefeated home record (15-0) during the 2010-11 season. The 20 win season was the first for the Cowgirls in 24 years. The overall record matched the best turnaround in NCAA history following a 7-22 overall record in 2009-10. The 26 overall and the 15 conference wins are school records. The Cowgirls got off to their best conference start (6-0) in school history and the 14-5 start was the best overall start in 14 years. McNeese tied the school’s longest winning streak (12 games) and won 19 of its last 21 games of the season. McNeese broke into a poll for the first time in school history, the collegeinsider.com Mid-Major Top 25 Women’s Basketball poll Feb. 15, 2011, coming in at no. 25. The Cowgirls ended the season ranked No. 15 in the final poll. On the court, Williams won her 50th career game in a 73-63 home victory over Northwestern State on Feb. 19, 2011 and has guided the Cowgirls to the Southland Conference Tournament four out of the last five years. In 2009, McNeese picked up a milestone victory with a win over three-time National Champions Louisiana Tech. That year the Cowgirls shot a school record, led the Southland Conference (for the second straight year) and ranked 76th in the nation with a 71.8 free throw percent in 2009. The Cowgirls also ranked second in the SLC with a 34.3 three-point field goal percent. Off the court, Williams and the Cowgirls have participated in numerous community service activities including the Ethel Precht Breast Cancer Walk and the Jeff Davis Bank Toys for Tots drive for the past five years. Williams has ignited a fan following in the community, speaking to groups about her passion and motivation about the revival of the program. Williams’ community and local recruiting efforts have increased attendance drastically. Williams was named one of Southwest Louisiana’s Up and Coming Under 40 recipients by the Times of Southwest Louisiana and Fusion Five Magazine in 2009. She currently serves ast the WBCA Southland Conference Captain and is in her second year of a three year term representing the SLC as a Regional Advisory Committee member for NCAA Division I Women’s Basetball. In her first season, Williams guided the Cowgirls to a 10-21 record and second place tie in the East Division after being picked to finish sixth in the preseason polls. Williams led the Cowgirls to victories in four of their last six games and advanced to the Southland Conference Tournament. Williams’ 2007-08 squad broke seven McNeese records (six team and one individual), tied two, and set a Southland Conference record with 16 three-pointers made in a road victory at Lamar. The Cowgirls also handed the Cardinals their first home loss of the season that night. The Cowgirls also upset longtime national powerhouse Stephen F. Austin and eventual Southland Conference Tournament

champion and NCAA participant Texas-San Antonio. McNeese ended the season leading the league in free throw shooting percent, ranked second in three-point field goals made and assist-turnover ratio, and ranked third in three-point field goal percent. Williams, McNeese State’s ninth head coach, brought interest and excitement back to the Cowgirl program in her first season and has built it into a championship program. In her first full recruiting season at McNeese, Williams continued to show why she is a proven recruiter by signing the Louisiana 3A and 5A state MVP’s and the Northeast Louisiana “Player of the Year”. Most recently, Williams signed the 2009 Louisiana Sports Writers’ Miss Basketball and Class B outstanding player and MVP, along with two local all-state players and a national junior college scoring leader. A native of Jennings, La., Williams spent three years at the University of Southern Mississippi. Prior to her stint with the Lady Eagles, she spent one season at the University of Memphis and three years at the University of Arkansas-Little Rock.

and all three recruiting classes at Southern Miss ranked among some of the best in the nation. She signed the Arkansas “Player of the Year”, Mississippi “Player of the Year”, a junior college All-American, as well as ten Top 100 players in the country. While at Southern Miss, Williams helped the Eagles improve its program each year and went 15-15 her last season with a 9-7 record in Conference USA. Her 2005 class consisted of both the Mississippi and Arkansas prep player of the year as well as a junior college All-American. Her 2006 and 2007 recruiting classes included Louisiana all-state performers from Acadiana High, Jena High, Dominican High and Dutchtown High School. Between college stops, Williams served temporarily as head coach at St. Thomas More High in Lafayette, La. As a prep player at Jennings High, Williams earned All-State, All-Parish and All-District honors.

Tommy McClelandAthletic Director

Tommy McClelland was named athletics director at McNeese State on March 19, 2008. Prior to being named Athletics Director, McClelland served at Interim Athletics Director and Assistant Athletics Director of Internal Affairs. In his short time at McNeese, McClelland has been quick out of the gate. He started the “Partner with the Pokes” program that provides a smaller, more attractive sponsorship package for local small businesses. On top of the “Partner with the Pokes” program, McClelland has raised over $2.8 million in private donations since April of 2007

and was instrumental in increasing corporate sponsorships over $750,000, while securing new clients and multi-year sponsorships. He also planned and helped implement a multi-city summer tour, the “Cowboy Round-Up Tour”. The Cowboy Round-Up Tour is a two week period in June where coaches, administrators and other department staff travel to various cities in Southwest Louisiana and Southeast Texas. Fans have the opportunity to meet the coaches and administrators to talk about Cowboy and Cowgirl Athletics. McClelland was also responsible for increasing football season ticket sales in 2008 for the then highest total in school history to 8,008 and then topped that at 8,035 in 2009. In addition, he was instrumental in setting single game attendance records in volleyball, softball, soccer and women’s basketball. McClelland is not just limited to selling tickets. He devised a plan to resurrect the “M” Club for former student-athletes. He negotiated a new syndicated radio network for football, men’s and women’s basketball and baseball. Included in that deal was the first ever radio station that was solely dedicated to broadcasting women’s basketball. McClelland also re-negotiated football’s TV replay contract from a one station deal to broadcasting games on three different stations and the internet. One of the main goals for McClelland was to improve the life of the student-athletes and increase the fans experience. The most effective way to accomplish both goals in to improve athletic facilities. In his short time as Athletics Director, McClelland has overseen the completion of:

•- New bleachers in Memorial Gym•- Chair backed center section of Cowgirl Diamond•- Canopy over the stairwell in the North end of Cowboy Stadium •- Hodges Street Fieldhouse•- New grandstands at Cowboy Diamond•- New bleachers at Cowgirl Soccer Field•- New artificial synthetic replicated turf at Cowboy Stadium•- New basketball court and goals•- Upgraded football practice facilities•- Covered center section at Cowgirl Diamond•- New lights for Cowgirls Soccer Field•- New weight room for track & field•- Renovation of men’s basketball and women’s volleyball offices, including a new state of the art theater style media room •- Renovation and expansion of the Jack V. Doland Fieldhouse

A combined total of over $11 million in facility renovation and new construction has been made since 2007. During his tenure as Athletics Director, McNeese has won the Southland Conference football championship (2007, 2009), Southland Conference soccer Tournament (2006) and regular season championship (2007), Southland Conference Softball Tournament (2010), the Southland Conference Men’s basketball regular season (2011) and the Southland Conference Women’s basketball regular season (2011) and the State Farm Southland Conference Women’s Basketball Tournament Championship (2011, 2012). In 2011, under McClelland’s leadership, McNeese hosted the first round of the NIT postseason tourament as they hosted ACC member Boston College on ESPNU. McClelland holds a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree from Northwestern State where he was a football and track standout. The native of Basile, LA., served as a graduate assistant at Northwestern State in athletics and also worked at the Southland Conference office as an administrative intern, assisting with championship events. McClelland is also a 2012 graduate of the Executive Program of the Sports Management Institute and attended instruction at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill’s Kenan-Flagler Business School and the University of Southern California’s Marshall School of Business. McClelland is married to the former Jessica Stokes of Garrison, Texas. They have two sons, Lawson and Grayson. They reside in Lake Charles.

and an all-Louisiana selection. Besides leading the team in scoring in both seasons she also led in rebounds. Her 15.8 average for the 1975-76 season continues to stand as a school record. She played three seasons of professional basketball, served as an assistant coach at McNeese and is a teacher on coach in the state system.

Pat Jean (1980-83) Inducted 1996 During a four year career with the Cowgirls, she set just about every team record. She still holds the school records for points scored (2,461) and rebounds (1,571). She also ranks second in the state of Louisiana in career rebounds and is seventh in points scored. Jean was a four-time all-Louisiana selection and an all-Southland Conference pick for the only year that she played in the conference. In 1983, she also led the conference in rebounding with a 13.7

mark. She continues to hold 14 McNeese State records.

Sonny Watkins and Bridget Martin served as co-head coaches for four years (1990-94). During that time they were one of a few co-head coaches in the nation. The duo guided McNeese to three Southland Conference Tournaments and produced two All-Southland Conference players in Robin Daniels and Tangela McAlister. Both players garnered individual honors as well. Daniels was named the league’s “Freshman of the Year” in 1992 while McAlister was named the SLC “Newcomer of the Year” that same year. In 1993, McAlister was named to the Basketball Times All-America Team, only the fourth and last McNeese player to become an All-American. Watkins later served as the Universities Athletic Director from 1995-2007 while Martin went on to serve as head coach for seven more years before being named McNeese’s Associate AD for Compliance and Senior Woman Administrator in 2002, titles she still holds to date.
