BRIGHT FUTURE AHEAD

Tenn., native Chase Dunn, an explo-sive scorer with all-around talent, and redshirt-freshman Charles Newton round out the freshman class. Byron Pickens, a junior transfer from Mineral Area Community College in Missouri and junior Zac Swansey, a transfer from the University of Georgia are also new to the Golden Eagle squad. Swansey will sit out the 2009-10 season due to NCAA transfer rules before finish-ing his final two years of eligibility as a Golden Eagle. “I like our kids, and I like our team,” Tennessee Tech head coach Mike Sutton said. “We won’t be as big, but I think we’ll be a little more athletic, a little better handling the ball, and I think we’ll be an exciting team to watch with the kind of young people that we have, so I’m really excited about this year’s team.” The Golden Eagles were picked to finish seventh in the OVC by the league’s head coaches and Sports Information Di-rectors, but the team has higher expecta-tions for itself. “Each year you want to do your absolute best to win the conference,” Sut-ton said. “To get a home game in the first round of the OVC tournament, which means you have to finish in the top four, that’s one of the things that you set your sites on.” Tech’s 18-game OVC schedule opens with a road game at Jacksonville State on Dec. 5, the only league game for the Golden Eagles until January. After hosting Bryan College on Dec. 20 and Union on Dec. 30, Tech resumes league action with a road trip to Southeast Mis-souri and Eastern Illinois, Jan. 2-4. Tech’s first OVC home game is Jan. 7 against Morehead State, who won the league tournament and represented the OVC in the NCAA Tournament. That game opens a crucial stretch where Tech plays six of eight OVC games at home.

With eight letter-winners return-ing from a season ago, the Golden Eagles bring a host of experience and talent back to the court for the 2009-10 season, the eighth under head coach Mike Sutton. But Tech is still one of the youngest teams in the OVC with a bright future ahead. Leading the way is a trio of seniors - Will Barnes, Frank Davis and Elijah Cun-ningham-Muhammad - who will anchor Tech’s backcourt. Barnes and Davis will each be playing their fourth year as a Golden Eagle, and have already left their mark on the program. Barnes has averaged 6.8 points-per-game throughout his career at Tech, including a career-high 9.8 ppg last season. He is 25th on Tech’s all-time assists list with 163 helpers in his career, and is the Golden Eagles reigning offensive MVP. Davis is on pace to set Tech’s career record in three-pointers made. With 163 entering the 2009-10 season he needs just 47 to tie the record of 210 held by Josh Heard. Davis made 76 three-pointers a season ago, and 67 as a sophomore in 2007-08. Tech will also bring back junior Alfred Jones, and sophomores Kevin Murphy, Zach Bailey, Bassey Inameti and Riley Hunley. Murphy earned Ohio Valley Confer-ence all-newcomer honors and Tech’s Most Improved Player award last season, and is poised for an all-conference caliber season in 2009-10. Bailey was Tech’s best defen-sive player as a freshman last season, and Inameti played in all 30 games, making seven starts in his freshman campaign. The experienced upperclassmen will be joined by a talented group of newcom-ers. Tech’s three incoming freshmen include Terrell Barnes and Jud Dillard, who were high school teammates at Riverdale High School in Riverdale, Ga. Nearby Livingston,

2009-10 Golden Eagle OutlookThat homecourt edge will be as impor-tant as ever in the tough league race, according to Sutton. “The league has continued to get stronger from top-to-bottom,” Sutton said. “We want to be really tough at home, and try to steal some games on the road in a very competitive league. There are a lot of teams who return a lot of players and went deep into the confer-ence tournament last year.” The league slate includes two games with UT Martin, a team which reached the post-season with a visit to the NIT. The Skyhawks are led by one of three new coaches in the OVC. “There are three new coaches in the league, and I think you’ll see some changes at those places,” Sutton said. “The strength of our league will increase because there are a lot of teams who have the potential to finish in the top half of the league.” In addition to Tech’s tough OVC schedule, the Golden Eagles will have maybe their most challenging non-conference schedule in two decades. Tech will begin the season with visits to Minnesota, Memphis and Kansas on the first three Friday’s of the season. “We’ve always had a good sched-ule, but this could be the toughest of all,” Sutton said. “We have five very difficult games early in the schedule, including on the road at potentially the No. 1 team in the country in Kansas and a couple of Top 10 or Top 20 teams in Memphis and Minnesota. Victories will be well-earned with this schedule as we could play really well and come up short against all of these teams, even at home.” Besides those top-notch oppo-nents, the Golden Eagles will host Ball State and Evansville in Eblen Center, and late in the year face a road game against what could be another outstanding op-ponent in a Bracket Buster contest. “Evansville and Ball State are two non-conference teams from high confer-ences,” Sutton said. “It is by far the tough-est schedule we’ve played here, and it’s a

challenge, but we’re looking forward to the challenges.” As part of the Hall of Fame Showcase, Tech will play games at Memphis, Kansas and Central Arkansas, and host Oakland University. “The Hall of Fame Showcase is a good thing because we get a home game out of the deal, but the problem is that home game is against an Oakland team which is really good,” Sutton said. “They’ve got a lot of guys back, and they won 23 games last year. That makes the schedule even more challenging.” Tech opens the regular season on Friday, Nov. 13, at Big Ten foe Minnesota, coached by Sutton’s friend and former mentor, Tubby Smith. “It’s the season opener, and it will be difficult,” Sutton said. “Minnesota is extremely talented, they’re coming off an NCAA tournament bid, and they’re very excited about basketball up there. The game is already sold out, and they’re good.” Tech is scheduled to participate once again in a Bracket Buster game on Feb. 20, but won’t know its opponent until close to the event. After that, the Golden Eagles host Jacksonville State on Feb. 27 to close out the regular season. The OVC Tournament is March 2-6, with the top eight teams playing in the first round and the four surviving squads advancing to the finals in Nashville.

Mike Sutton has proven to be one of the best head coaches in the Ohio Valley Conference both on and off the court. As he begins his eighth season as head coach at Tennessee Tech, he will continue to prove the success he has brought to the program. Sutton is the second longest tenured coach in the OVC, but his path has been as long as any. Stricken with the crippling Guillain-Barre Syndrome (GBS) in April 2005 – just months after capturing the OVC championship and OVC Coach of the Year honors – Sutton spent much of that summer paralyzed and clinging to life. But his determina-tion to overcome his circumstances and return to coaching prevailed, as Sutton returned to the sidelines during the 2005-06 season, and led Tech to back-to-back 19 win campaigns. From the preseason to the postseason, Sutton is focused on one thing — the success and well-being of his student-athletes and his program. He has compiled an 114-100 overall record in seven years. Sutton came to Tennessee Tech after serving as an assistant coach at the University of Kentucky, and he quickly proved that he could lead a team to success. In his first sea-son, he guided the 2003-04 Golden Eagles to a 20-12 overall record and a third place finish in the Ohio Valley Conference regular season before falling in the league’s championship game, one step short of reaching the NCAA Tournament field. Sutton became the most successful first-year coach in Golden Eagle history. The team’s 20 wins marked the second-most wins in a season, his 13-3 OVC record was the best league mark by a first-year Tech coach, and his .625 winning percentage was also the best of any first-year Golden Eagle mentor.

In 2004-05, the Golden Eagles rolled to the OVC regular season title, an 18-11 overall record and 12-4 league worksheet, and Sutton was named the OVC Coach of the Year. Following the team’s 19-12 perfor-mance in 2005-06, Sutton was presented with the Most Courageous Award by the United States Basketball Writers’ Association. Among all coaches who have directed the Golden Eagle program more than one year, Sutton ranks third for average wins per season at 16.3. Sutton has proven he can lead his team off the court as well as on the court. His

“In the seven years since he took leadership of our men’s basketball program, Mike Sutton has proven that he is the right person to guide our student-athletes to success, both on the court and in the classroom. Mike is more than an outstanding coach; he’s a committed professional, an excellent leader and a genuine example of determination and spirit.” -Dr. Robert Bell, President, Tennessee Tech University

Mike SuttonHead Coach Eighth Season East Carolina, 1978

Golden Eagles won the OVC Academic Achievement Award in back-to-back seasons in 2006-07 and 2007-08, and had three players on the OVC Commissioners Honor Roll in 2008-09. Tech has put more players on that list than any other school over the past three years, and guard Riley Hunley was the only men’s basketball player in the OVC to win the OVC Medal of Honor by posting a perfect 4.0 GPA in 2008-09. Excelling in the classroom has translated to earning degree’s for Sutton’s student-athletes. By December, all of the student-athlete’s Sutton has brought to Tech who have completed their eligibility will also have earned a degree. In addition to his duties as head coach and running the program at Tennessee Tech, Sutton serves as a voting member

of the Regional Advisory Committee for the 2010 Division I Men’s Basketball Championship. The Advisory Committee helps the Division I Men’s Basketball Committee select at-large teams for the NCAA tournament. With 35 years of coaching experience, Sutton has formulated his system to fit the needs of the players and the program. His ability to adjust in-game combined with his dedica-tion to preparation make Sutton a motivational leader. “I have a lot of variety in my coaching

background and I think that variety lends itself towards producing a comfort level at this job,” Sutton said. “I want to be supportive of every program at Tennessee Tech University and I want the coaches to know they can count on me if they need me. We have to remember that we’re in this together, serving the students, and I want to do my part.” Sutton began coaching as an assistant at his high school alma mater, D.H. Conley High School, while attending East Carolina University. After spending the 1978-79 season as an assis-tant coach at Lees-McRae (N.C.) Junior College, he was hired by Tubby Smith as an assistant for the 1979-80 season at Hoke County High School in Raeford, N.C. Before the season began, Smith left for an assistant coaching position at Virginia Commonwealth University, leaving Sutton behind but only temporarily. The next year, the two were reunited as assistants at VCU, helping the Rams advance to the 1981 NCAA Tourna-ment. Sutton then left the college ranks and became head coach at Meadowbrook High School in Richmond, Va., taking over a down-trodden program that had tallied a 1-19 record the previous season. He turned the program around during his 13-year career from 1981-94, leading the team to the Class AAA State Cham-pionship in his final season. His coaching efforts earned him The Associated Press Coach of the Year award for 1993-94. He compiled a 176-122 record at Meadowbrook before rejoining Smith

at Tulsa. Including Kentucky, he has had five coaching stops with Smith. While coaching the Wildcats, Sutton’s duties included on-floor coaching and off-campus recruiting. He helped lead Kentucky to three Southeastern Conference regular season championships and three SEC tournament titles. The team played in the NCAA tournament all five seasons he was with the Wildcats, claiming the national title in 1998 with a 35-4 overall record. “In Mike Sutton, you will find a man who invokes an image of integrity, class and enthusiasm,” said University of Minnesota coach Tubby Smith, Sutton’s friend and former boss at Kentucky. “Mike’s work ethic, character and desire to be successful will all serve him well, and he understands that academics must be the first priority of the students. He is a true “team player” and he will bring an up-tempo style of play in a well-coached system that will be fun to watch. His teams will be disciplined, on and off the court.” Sutton was named, as Tech’s 11th men’s basketball head coach in April 2002. “We are very excited about Mike Sutton heading up our men’s basketball program,” said Tech president Bob Bell upon the hiring of the energetic new coach. “Throughout his entire career he has not only been a successful coach, but has proven that he is also committed to outstanding academics.” Sutton appreciates the pace of life at

Tennessee Tech. “One of the things that impresses me the most is the team and family atmosphere at the school,” Sutton said. “Every one is very sup-portive of the program and shows a genuine interest in the players. “The young men in the program are a great group and I really enjoy coaching them,” Sutton added. “I am really impressed by their attitude and the way they are respected by the people associated with the athletic depart-ment and the school. “Tennessee Tech students, staff, alumni, fans and the Cookeville community can look forward to exciting times in the future as the Golden Eagle basketball team continues to build on the Tennessee Tech tradition.” He received his bachelor’s degree in Health and Physical Education from East Carolina University in 1978, and his master’s degree in Health and Physical Education from Appalachian State University in 1979. Born March 21, 1956, in Farmville, N.C., Mike and his wife, Karen, have two chil-dren — Kelly Kern of Fort Mill, S.C. and Scott Hughes of St. Petersburg, Fla. The Suttons have four grandchildren — Grace Sutton Kern (8), Georgia Katherine Kern (5) and Evelyn Riley Hughes (4).Their newest granddaughter Audrey Elizabeth “Libby” Kern was born Feb. 2, 2009.

The Tigers won the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) national championship in 1997-98. Georgetown also finished second in the national tournament in 1999-00 and advanced to the “Sweet Sixteen” in 1996-97 and 1998-99. Payne also served as an assistant coach and recruiting coordinator at Northwestern (La.) State University where he helped lead NSU to its best conference finish in a decade. He was also an as-sistant coach at Union University in Jackson, Tenn., where he was recruiting coordinator and helped lead the team to back-to-back 20-win seasons. Payne was director of player development at Union, and that included the coaching of two NAIA all-Americans. He also coached at Knox Central High School in Barbourville, Ky. He is a graduate of Russell County High School in Russell Springs, Ky., and earned his bach-elor’s degree from Union College in Barbourville, Ky. in 1990.

The Golden Eagles found them-selves playing for their lives on the final day of the regular season in 2008-09, as they visited Jacksonville State tied with the Gamecocks for the eighth and final spot in the Ohio Valley Conference tournament. Tech’s fate would never be in question throughout that game, as the Golden Eagles set a school record converting 29-of-30 free throws en route to a 91-74 disposal of JSU and their 22nd consecutive bid to the OVC tournament. But Tech would run into back-to-back OVC Player of the Year Lester Hudson and No. 1 seed UT Martin in the opening round of the OVC tournament, where the Skyhawks would end Tech’s season with a 12-18 record, and a 6-12 mark in OVC play. The 2008-09 squad had the third most blocks of any team in Tech history with 165, 16 short of the school record 181 set in 1994-95. 2009-10 senior Frank Davis tied five other former Golden Eagles for the second most three-pointers made in a game when he hit seven against Eastern Kentucky, and he moved into third place for three-pointers made in a career with 163. He needs 48 more in 2009-10 to pass Josh Heard as Tech’s all-time leader in that category. Davis made 67 and 76 three-pointers in his last two seasons. Davis also moved into 13th place on Tech’s all-time steals list, another list he will continue to climb in 2009-10. Senior Zac Walker was the re-cipient of the Sam Harley Lynn Award for his overall contributions to the Ten-nessee Tech men’s basketball program,

and also captured the John P. Hendrix Leadership Award, as head coach Mike Sutton announced the team’s 2008-09 award winners. “I can’t imagine anybody who has given more time and effort to our program than Zac Walker,” Sutton said of his senior guard from Columbia, Tenn. “He was only on scholarship for one year and he missed two seasons with knee injuries, yet

he never stopped fighting. I’m really proud of his efforts. Zac has unbe-lievable character, his academics are outstanding, and he was a leader throughout his career with his citizen-ship and sportsmanship.” Senior Daniel Northern was named the Most Valuable Player for the Golden Eagles, one of numerous honors presented by Sutton at the team’s annual Awards Dinner.The Golden Eagle Award was shared by Alfred Jones and Zach Newton, while the two Academic Awards went to Davis and Riley Hunley. Freshman Kevin Murphy, who earned OVC all-newcomer honors, received the team’s Most Improved Player award. The Best Offensive Play-er honor went to Will Barnes, while freshman Zach Bailey was named the Best Defensive player. Northern earned second-team all-OVC and NABC all-district honors

Even though he was not our leading scorer, if you consider his involvement with his playmaking skills, he really had the great-est impact.” Bailey, a freshman from Ft. Lauderdale, Fla., earned the Best Defensive Player Award. He played in all 30 games, averag-ing 4.0 points and 2.7 rebounds, to go along with 20 steals.“Even as a freshman, he was our best defender,” Sutton said. “He was tough and smart, and he always played hard. He takes a lot of pride in being able to defend his man.” Another freshman, Kevin Murphy, won the Most Im-proved Player Award. A 6-6 swingman from Fairburn, Ga., Mur-phy finished third on the team in scoring in OVC action with 10.7 points per game. He shot 42.4 percent from long range against the league, and also averaged 3.3 rebounds. “From the start of the season to the end, Kevin was our most improved player,” Sutton said. “He gained a better under-standing of our system. He was an explosive offensive player, and he got to be a better rebounder as the season went on.” The Academic Award for the best GPA during the fall semester went to Hunley, a walk-on guard from Knoxville, who posted a perfect 4.0 average. The Cumulative GPA Award went to junior Frank Davis, who was also named CoSIDA Academic All-District following the season. “If he keeps that up, Riley might win that award every year for the next four years,” Sutton said. “He is an outstanding student and a tremendously dedicated young man. “Frank did a good job, despite playing through pain all season with a stress fracture in his back,” Sutton said of the junior guard from Gainesville, Ga., “He’s a good student and he is a really unselfish player.” Davis was second on the team in scoring, averaging 10.0 points per game, and led the team with 44 steals. He connect-ed on a team-best 42.9 percent of his shots to rank second in

the OVC. He was seventh in the league in both 3-pointers per game and steals. Elijah Cunningham-Muhammad, a junior guard from Columbus, Ohio, won the Top Assists and Free Throw awards. He led Tech with 83 assists, and shot 80.8 percent (42-for-52) at the charity stripe. Northern captured the Top Rebounder Award and Blocked Shots Award, while Davis received the Steals Leader and 3-Point Shooter awards. Bassey Inameti, a redshirt freshman from Lawrenceville, Ga., took home the Field Goal Percentage Award, shooting 59.1 percent in his rookie season. The 6-8 center shot 61.4 percent against OVC foes.

after leading Tech in scoring, rebounds and blocked shots in his senior season. He averaged 12.6 points and 8.8 rebounds per game, and blocked 73 shots in 29 games. He finished his career ranked second in blocked shots. “Daniel was our leading scorer and rebounder, as well as blocked shots, named second-team all-OVC, and was an obvi-ous choice for the MVP award,” Sutton said.All three of Tech’s senior players – Walker, Northern and Ra’Shun Bryant -- plus three senior managers -- Greg August, Andy Harrell and Justin Stanford -- earned their degrees in May. “That’s the important thing,” Sutton said. “They came here for an education, and they leave with their degree.” The Golden Eagle Award was shared by Jones and New-ton. Jones was a sophomore playing his first season at Tech after a year at Lincoln College. He played in all 30 games, start-ing 11, and averaged 4.0 points and 2.3 rebounds per game. Newton spent the year as a redshirt. “Alfred was a first-year player who came in and compet-ed every single day,” Sutton said. “He never complained about anything, and he just fought and fought, and was solid in many areas. Zach was a redshirt, but he still had an outstanding work ethic in practice or when working out on his own. Both of them just showed great effort every single day.” The Best Offensive Player Award went to Barnes, a guard who started 24 games and played in all 30 contests, splitting his time between point and wing. He was third on the team in scoring, averaging 9.8 points per game, while shooting 48.3 percent from the field and 38 percent from long range. The junior from Tuscaloosa, Ala., was second on the team in assists with 82 and third in steals with 34. “If you look at everything Will did for our offense, he had the greatest impact on our game,” Sutton said. “He had a high shooting percentage and he was second in assists by one.

A bank shot by Mann that would’ve given the Racers a one-point lead rolled off the rim with three seconds left. In 1990 as a No. 16 seed, Murray State took No. 1 seed Michigan State into overtime before falling 75-71; that game still marks the closest a No. 16 seed has come to knocking off a No. 1 in men’s tourna-ment action. More recently, Murray State has dominated the OVC Tournament, reaching the championship game every year in the 1990’s. The Racers’ 13 OVC Tournament Championships are the most among all OVC schools. The OVC also has the honor of being the only confer-ence to boast the nation’s leaders in scoring, rebounding and assists all in one season. That feat was accomplished in 1991-92 by Morehead State’s Brett Roberts (28.1 ppg), Murray State’s Popeye Jones (14.4 rpg) and Tennessee Tech’s Van Usher (8.8 apg). In 2007-08, UT Martin guard Lester Hudson became the first men’s Division I player to record a quadruple-double in a game, when he registered 25 points, 12 rebounds, 10 assists and 10 steals in a victory over Central Baptist College. Hudson, who ranked fourth in scoring nationally as a junior, returned for his senior season in 2008-09 and was second nationally in scoring (behind Davidson’s Stephen Curry) at 27.5 points a contest. Hudson earned numerous honors (including OVC Player of the Year and OVC Male Athlete of the Year in each 2008 and 2009 and All-American status from several outlets) before being

drafted by the Boston Celtics with the No. 58 pick of the 2009 NBA Draft. Hudson became the first draft pick for the league since 2004 and only the third pick of the last decade for the OVC. The playing field is not the only place where OVC athletes are working hard. The league also recognizes excellence in the classroom. Six Scholar-Athlete Awards are presented yearly to male and female athletes, while others are commended for their academic success by being Medal of Honor recipients or earning a spot on the Commissioner’s Honor Roll. Additionally, the league annually presents one institutional Academic Achievement Award, as well as separate team awards in each Conference-sponsored sport. Since the College Sports Information Directors of American (CoSIDA) Academic All-America program began, the Ohio Valley Conference has had 179 student-athletes honored with the award, including 25 over the last three years (2006-07 to the present). Additionally, the OVC annually presents the Steve Hamilton Sportsmanship Award, in honor of the former Morehead State student-athlete, coach and athletics direc-tor, to a junior or senior student-athlete with significant athletic contributions who best exemplifies the character-istics of sportsmanship and citizenship. Most recently, the Conference has also implemented the OVC Institutional and Team Sportsmanship Awards, which are presented to one institution and 18 sport-specific teams voted by their peers to have best exhibited the standards of sportsmanship and ethical conduct as outlined by the OVC and NCAA. The vision of leadership demonstrated by the Found-ing Fathers in 1948 remains alive today as the Ohio Valley Conference prepares for the future. One example is in regard to the current trend in collegiate athletics administration for increased involvement of university presidents in setting policies and making rules. The presidents of OVC institu-tions, however, have always governed the Conference, long before presidential governance became a national theme. The Ohio Valley Conference sponsors the following sports: baseball, basketball, cross country, football, golf, tennis and track for men, and basketball, cross country, golf, soccer, softball, tennis, track and volleyball for women. In addition, the OVC also sponsors the combined men’s and women’s sport of rifle. Now in its seventh decade of competition, the Ohio Valley Conference has grown significantly from its humble beginnings while increasing the number of athletics oppor-tunities it provides for students. Current league representa-tives include charter members Eastern Kentucky University, Morehead State University and Murray State University, along with Austin Peay State University, Eastern Illinois University, Jacksonville State University, Southeast Missouri State University, Southern Illinois University Edwardsville, Tennessee State University, Tennessee Technological Univer-sity and the University of Tennessee at Martin.

Entering its 62nd year, the Ohio Valley Conference continues to build on the success that has made it the nation’s eighth-oldest NCAA Division I conference. For only the second time in a decade, the Conference expanded by adding Southern Illinois University Edwardsville as the league’s 11th member in 2008. The move expanded the OVC’s geographical footprint to the St. Louis market and marked the first change in membership since expanding to the state of Alabama (Jacksonville State, Samford) in 2003. The 2009-10 school year saw a change in leadership as Beth DeBauche was named the seventh full-time Com-missioner in league history on July 28. She is currently one of just five females to be the head of a Division I confer-ence, and one of just eight to lead a Division I conference all-time. The last three commissioners of the OVC have moved onto jobs as the commissioner of the Big Ten, Big 12 and the Mid-American Conferences. The OVC’s proud past dates back to 1948, but seeds for the new league were actually planted in 1941. It was then that Roy Stewart, the athletics director at Murray State, Charles (Turkey) Hughes, the athletics director at Eastern Kentucky, and Kelly Thompson, the public relations director at Western Kentucky, first broached the idea of forming a new conference. Discussions were put on hold by World War II, but reemerged Feb. 27-28, 1948 at the Ken-tucky Hotel in Louisville as the three original institutions combined with Morehead State, Louisville and Evansville to form the OVC. In 1955, the OVC became only the second six-member league nationally to earn an automatic bid to the prestigious NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament, which, at that time, was limited to only 24 participants. The Confer-ence quickly proved worthy of that bid, as Morehead State defeated Marshall (107-92) and Wayne State (95-84) in the 1956 tournament. Fifteen years later, former OVC member Western Kentucky became the first and only Conference team to reach the Final Four. The Hilltoppers defeated Jacksonville, Kentucky and Ohio State before losing to Villanova in double overtime. WKU went on to finish in third place after beating Kansas 77-75 in the consolation game. Since that time, the OVC has recorded some of the biggest upsets in the history of the NCAA Tourna-ment. Perhaps the most famous moment came in 1987, when Austin Peay came from fourth place in the regular season to win the OVC Tournament and earn the league’s automatic bid. The Governors drew powerful Illinois, and were such big underdogs, that ESPN broadcaster Dick Vitale promised to stand on his head if APSU won the game. After a 68-67 victory over the Illini, and a narrow 90-87 overtime loss to eventual Final Four participant Providence in the second round, Vitale made good on his promise in a visit to Clarksville two months later. Murray State added to the OVC’s string of upsets

students braved a driving night rainstorm to pilfer a huge block-tin eagle statue from the charred ruins of a resort hotel in Monteagle. They painted the creature - with a wingspan of over six feet - a glistening gold, and suspended it from the rafter for public inspection at the following day's basket-ball game in Memorial Gym. Then-Governor Frank G. Clement, a lifelong friend of the hotel owner, was in Cookeville to speak . He worked out a compromise between his friend and the school students, who wanted to retain the eagle as their mascot.

Over the years, a wide variety of art-work and drawings have been used to represent the Ten-nessee Tech Golden

Eagles. Some of those include a drawing which appeared in media guides in the mid 1970s, and a cartoon-style mascots in the early 1980s that was dubbed ‘the purple chicken” by Tech students.

THIS IS TENNESSEE TECH

WHERE QUALITY COUNTS For more than 90 years, Tennessee Tech has served the various needs of the region, the state and beyond. Not only is Tech renowned as a fine institution of higher education, it also serves as a public re-source center and encourages scholarly research and creative activity by its faculty and students. Today, Tech makes a number of contributions to economic devel-opment locally, regionally and nationally. Tech’s 65,000-plus alumni occupy positions of leadership in educa-tion, business, industry, government and public service. Tennessee Tech is widely known as an institution noted for its academic quality -- an institution where the energies of the faculty, staff and students are devoted to ensuring that the university’s quality is maintained and enhanced. The university’s vision is guided by the “T.E.C.H.” framework — technological leadership, enrollment growth, a caring campus, and high quality. The university is divided into seven academic divisions offering 44 programs of study leading to the bachelor’s degree and 20 pro-grams of study at the graduate level. More than 75 percent of the 370 full-time faculty members hold doctoral degrees. Considered one of the most picturesque campuses in the South -- and one of the safest -- the buildings carry an attractive Georgian style of architecture that lends the Tech campus an Ivy-league character. Tech was established in 1915 as Tennessee Polytechnic Institute, lo-cated on the site of its forerunner, Dixie College. TPI gained university

status in 1965, reflecting the institution’s role as a multipurpose, state-supported university. Tech’s current enrollment contin-ues to include students from almost all 95 Tennessee counties, along with students from more than 40 other states and about 40 foreign countries.

CAMPUS LIFE Tennessee Tech students know that there is a lot more to college life than what goes on in the classroom. Nearly 200 student organizations on campus offer activities ranging from academic, athletic, cultural, political, community-oriented, social to spiritual. At Tech, it’s easy to get involved and make friends. Campus recreation coordinates 11 intramural and club sports: basketball, bowling, flag football, golf, racquetball, rugby, soc-cer, softball, tennis, volleyball and wrestling. The Fitness Center is a free, full-service health club for students. It houses a fully equipped weight room, 25-meter indoor pool, cardiovascular equipment and an indoor track. Tech is also a center for the arts, presenting concerts, theatre productions, lectures, dance per-formances, films, workshops, demonstrations and art exhibits each year. And, of course there’s always an athletics event to attend. Tennessee Tech’s athletic teams compete in the Ohio Valley Conference for 16 sports on the NCAA Division I level, and students can attend all regular season athletic events absolutely free!

The Tennessee Tech Athletic Department unveiled a new brand on Aug. 31, 2006, with an all-new set of logos for the Golden Eagles. The brand is new, but the tradition remains -- the name Golden Eagles. How did TTU adopt the name? In the first quarter of this century, Tennessee Polytechnic Institute was a tiny school, located in the rugged, mountainous Upper Cumberland region where Golden Eagles were plentiful, soar-ing above the lush, upland forests. It's easy to understand how those early students and faculty could narrow their choices for their athletic team's nicknames to "Golden Eagles" or "Mountaineers." On February 14, 1925, the nickname "Golden Eagles " was officially adopted. The school news-paper, The Oracle, printed a story that outlined the efforts of a committee to suggest several possible nicknames to Athletic Association members for their consideration. The two most popular names were "Golden Eagles" and "Mountaineers," and the association, by a vote of 139-18, proudly declared its preference. It wasn't until 27 years later that a tangible mascot found its way to the campus. Several Tech

ATHLETIC ADMINISTRATION

MARK WILSONDirector of Athletics - Maine 1991

Mark Wilson’s first five years as Direc-tor of Athletics at Tennessee Tech have been highlighted by vision, energy, and enthusi-asm. Those factors have facilitated growth and excellence in all areas and have placed the focus on generating a better student-athlete experience. In 2007, Wilson received a five-year contract extension to keep him at the helm of the Golden Eagle athletic programs through 2012.

Wilson was recently appointed to a position on the NCAA Leadership Council through April, 2011. It will give the Ohio Valley Conference, TTU and Wilson a voice in a variety of strategic decisions that can affect intercolle-giate athletics. Wilson, 40, has led Athletics to several milestone accomplishments during his first four years, including enhanced facilities and fund raising, high profile staff additions, and compliance and academic success. Under Wilson’s guidance, the program has continued to focus on the academic success of its student-athletes, with soaring numbers each semester on the Athletic Director’s Honor Roll. Tech’s student-athletes have achieved their highest overall combined semester GPAs. Wilson also developed a strategic plan for Tech’s athletic facilities and has already seen some of those plans become reality. During the past two years, Tech has completed several construction projects to athletic facilities, including resurfacing the outdoor tennis courts, a new natural grass prac-tice field, installation of new turf in Tucker Stadium, renovating the running track, renovating the football offices, meeting rooms and locker rooms, new lights at Tucker Stadium and installation of electronic targets in the rifle

rage. Most recently, Athletics opened a spacious, new basketball office complex in Eblen Center. Additional building plans call for a new strength and conditioning facility and a student-athlete center. Another step achieved under Wilson’s direction has been increased fund raising and development efforts with the goal of providing the nec-essary resources for Tech’s student-athletes, coaches and staff. All of those accomplishments have come while the department has continued to stay focused on compliance with all NCAA rules and regula-tions. Wilson was named Director of Athletics on July 1, 2004. He came to Tennessee Tech from Ohio University. Since his first day at Tech, Wilson has made rapid and steady prog-ress. He began by restructuring the department and implemented plans for a better student-athlete experience. In addition, athletics launched a dynamic new website, gained NCAA certification and was found in complete compliance, created a far-reaching “WIN” program for academic success, opened an entertaining and popular Tailgate Park, and started plans for two capital projects. Before going to Ohio, Mark served as the Director of Athletic Market-ing for the University of Massachusetts. He also worked as a graduate assistant in the UMass athletic department and interned with the North-western University ticketing and marketing departments. Wilson received his bachelor’s degree in 1991 from the University of Maine in physical education and health, and earned his master’s in sports management from the University of Massachusetts in 1994. Mark and his wife, Michelle, have two daughters, Katey (14) and Meaghan (9).

The success of Tennessee Tech University’s athletic teams is tied closely to the academic progress of each student-athlete, and the academic performance of each Tech student-athlete is closely monitored by the coaching staff as well as an experienced staff in Academic Services. Tech’s student-athletes continue to excel in the classroom. Each semester, the Athletic Director’s Honor Roll pays tribute to more than 150 students in athletics, including athletes, trainers, managers and cheerleaders, and the overall GPA of the department has climbed steeply in the past six semesters. Student-athletes are the most visible component of a university, entertaining thousands of fans, students, alumni, family and friends. Their athletic abilities and achievements are a focus for national attention, as athletic events not only bring back faithful alumni, but serve as a welcome mat to the university for potential new stu-dents. Student-athletes devote many hours to practice, conditioning and training in an effort to be the best they can be. These hours are not required by non-athletes in the student body, and these extra demands can compete with academics for the student-athlete’s time and energy. The Tech Athletics Department works to provide help with course content (through tutors and monitored study hours) as well as with time management and study skills and any other academic support services that will allow Tech student-athletes to maximize their academic potential.

The “WIN” program: Work Intensely NowThe WIN Program was implemented in the fall semester of 2004 to provide additional support for freshmen and student-athletes whose general academic progress places them at risk for maintain-ing eligibility and graduating. The program involves the student-athlete, coach(es), academic advisor, tutors, and others to build academic skills for suc-cess. Participation in the program is primarily based on grades, and coaches or the academic advisor may recommend additional participation at any time. All incoming freshmen meet at least one time per week with their coach to discuss academic progress and needs as well as time management and study skill techniques. Other aspects of the program include monitored study hours, tutoring, and study skills workshops.

Former volleyball standout Laura Sidor-

owicz was named Tech’s 2005 NCAA

Woman of the Year. She graduated

with a 3.911 grade average.

The Tennessee Tech strength and conditioning program is a blend of science, technology, nutrition and one-on-one attention to each athlete. Golden Eagle student-athletes make a year-round

commitment to physically preparing to play their sport at the highest level. At TTU, a program is tailored to match each student-athlete’s individual needs with the sport-specific physical demands. This includes strength, speed, power, agility, flexibility, metabolic conditioning and motivation. This combination allows Tennessee Tech’s student-athletes to better reach their specific goals. Another

major focus of the strength staff is the development of sport-specific speed, agility and conditioning.

CHIP PUGH Head Strength and Conditioning Coach

Chip Pugh is in his fourth year as Tennessee Tech’s strength and conditioning head coach. He oversees the physical development of student-athletes in all 16 sports, provid-ing support in building toward championships. Pugh served three years in the same position at Winthrop University where he cre-ated and developed a highly successful strength and conditioning program that helped win 12 conference championships. An alumnus of Ohio University, he was an offensive lineman on the football team while earning a bachelor’s degree in sport industry and a master’s degree in physical edu-cation.

Pugh believes that the qualities that athletes can develop in strength and conditioning will not only aid in their athletic development, but will also help them build quality character components necessary for life. A native of Parkersburg, W. Va., he began his coaching career at his alma mater as an assistant strength and conditioning coach where he primarily worked with men’s and women’s track, men’s and women’s swimming, and women’s soccer. He also assisted coach Ethan Reeve, currently the head strength and conditioning coach at Wake For-est, with football while at Ohio. After leaving Ohio University he became the head

strength and conditioning coach for football at Marietta (Ohio) College, where he also worked as an assistant foot-ball coach. Additionally, during his two years at Marietta College he also served as a campus minister to the college.

Pugh is a certified member of the National Strength and Conditioning Association and the Collegiate Strength and Conditioning Coaches’ Association. He also holds the Club Coach certification through USA Weightlifting.

He is a Level-I certified CrossFit trainer and conducts personal training classes open to the public using the CrossFit methods.

Chip and his wife, the former Nicole Carey, were mar-ried July 29, 2000. They live in Cookeville, where they are active in sprint triathlons and CrossFit.

By taking advantage of expert instruction, Golden Eagle student-athletes are afforded every opportunity to maximize their athletic potential

Victories on the field, court or track often find their be-ginnings in a place without cheering fans and blaring bands — the strength and conditioning center. And the scope and quality of a team’s strength and conditioning facility loom large during recruiting season, so Tennessee Tech’s Department of Intercollegiate Athletics has plans to build a new facility to capture the attention of recruits and enhance the training of Tech’s student-athletes. “Building this strength and conditioning center is the most important thing we can do to properly train Tennessee Tech’s student-athletes and compete for recruits,” said Mark Wilson, director of athletics. “All our OVC peers and many high schools have nice, big strength centers that allow stu-dent-athletes to train efficiently and to be bigger, faster and stronger. Today’s student-athletes expect a certain standard of facilities and equipment in a Division I athletics program.” The need for a new facility is punctuated by the fact that Head Strength and Conditioning Coach Chip Pugh currently runs three shifts of workouts a day just to accom-modate all the football student-athletes in the current 2,500 square foot facility. Shifts are also scheduled for student-ath-letes on Tech’s other 15 teams. Additionally, it is prohibitive for safety reasons to perform heavy lifts like the power clean in a facility located on a third floor instead of a ground floor facility. “This project is the number one priority in the athletics department,” said Wilson. “We’ve done all we can do in the existing space to make it work for our athletes.” At an estimated cost of $2 million, the proposed

strength and conditioning center will feature approximately 21,000 square feet of space and state-of-the-art equipment. The building will house 8,000 square feet of weight room space, 9,000 square feet of indoor practice space, and 4,000 square feet of support/locker room space. The new build-ing will be located west of the softball complex close to Pine Ave. This location allows for access to the newly built outdoor strength and conditioning area that includes an obstacle course, speed training sand pit, as well as a natural grass prac-tice surface. “We need this facility to put the tools in place to help make our teams successful,” he said. “And once we get the student-athletes here, they’ll have a greater opportunity for competitive success by becoming better athletes.” Tech is scheduled to begin construction on the new Strength Center this winter.
