T.M. Elmore Gymnasium has been the permanent home of Alabama A&M men's & women's basketball since it was built in 1974. Over the years, the Bulldogs have made this one of the toughest places in the country for visiting teams to come away with a victory.

Although 25 year head coach Vann Pettaway ended his career in 2010-2011 he leaves the Bulldogs homestand at a remarkable 280-64 in Elmore Gymnasium. On three occasions the Bulldogs have gone undefeated at home under Pettaway. The 1988-89 squad finished 17-0 on its home floor, while the 1992-93 and 1995-96 teams finished 15-0 and 14-0, respectively.

The basketball team has earned a remarkable following in the community and on campus. It is not uncommon for Bulldog fans to pack the 6,000-seat arena to near-capacity for home games. And those fans are vocal, loudly cheering on their maroon and white to another home victory.

The T.M. Elmore Gymnasium and Health Sciences Complex is home to the Bulldog volleyball team also, as well as numerous other civic and institutional activities from concerts and pep rallies, to guest speakers and convocations. The building also houses classrooms, office space, training facilities and the Physical Education department.

Willie Hayes now leads the Bulldogs and looks to contiune a winning atmosphere in Elmore.

Student-Athlete Services • A+ Commitment From NCAA compliance and eligibility to the Academic Enhancement Center, the student-athlete services at Alabama A&M University are second-to-none in their commitment to helping ensure success for Bulldog student-athletes, not only on the field, but in life.

The Alabama A&M Athletics Academic Enhancement Center offers Bulldog student-athletes with various essential services to help foster an environment of learning and progress toward graduation at the University. Founded in 2007, the Center has quickly become one of the most effective and popular aspects of student-athlete life as a Bulldog.

With an engaging and enthusiastic staff willing to assist the academic process for every Bulldog studentathlete, the Academic Enhancement Center is vital to the completion of the athletics department mission’s focus to mold Bulldog student-athletes into upstanding and involved citizens once leaving The Hill.

The staff focuses its services on academic counseling, tutoring, registration and scheduling, addition and dropping of classes, laptop loan program, study hall, class attendance monitoring, and progress reports. One of the strongest commitments for the Center is the matriculation to college process for incoming freshmen and transfer students.

The state-of-the-art Academic Enhancement Center facility, which is housed in the renovated Council Training Building in the heart of campus, makes it possible for the staff to better track student-athlete success, not only in the classroom, but in career development and social development as well.

Along with the student-athlete services full-time staff, the department is fortunate to have a dedicated Faculty Athletics Representative in Dr. Ronald Slaughter. Slaughter is a political science associate professor faculty member with research interests in African-American politics and military policy.

Not only is Slaughter quite possibly the No. 1 Bulldogs fan while student-athletes are competing on the field, he also serves as their No. 1 proponent in helping to ensure that Alabama A&M’s athletics department is seen as a beacon to graduating student-athletes and making them productive citizens upon leaving the University. Whether working with fellow faculty members or representatives from the NCAA, Dr. Slaughter serves as a valuable tool in the day-to-day life of Bulldog student-athletes.

New Era in A&M Basketball First-year head coach Willie Hayes inherits four returning starters in sophomores Jerome Hunter, Demarquelle Tabb, Jeremy Crutcher and senior Casey Cantey.

Cantey is the Bulldogs top returning scorer (12.4 ppg), but Hayes is counting on him to raise the level of his game. The Demopolis, AL native finished ninth in the SWAC in scoring.

Among the returning players who logged significant playing time last season, is senior Diamon Alexander and sophomore Demarquelle Tabb.

A swingman, Alexander returns for his final campaign and will be depended on to raise his productivity. He saw action in 25 games last year with seven starts at shooting guard, contributing 2.3 points and grabbing 0.8 boards per game. Postman Tabb led the team and finished sixth in the SWAC in rebounding with 6.0 per game. He also posted a .503 shooting percentage which led the team and help the Greensboro, Alabama native finish second in the league.

Hayes will have a talented contingent of newcomers at his disposal led by transfer Green Hill, who is available to play immediately.

Hill brings a wealth of experience to the program and will provide a veteran backup to Crutcher. Last year, Hill played at Boise State University where he played in seven games.

Returning for the Bulldogs this season will be sophomore Justin Banks, Marcus Lee, Reggie Martin, and Brandon Ellis.

Also joining the Hayes this season is freshmen Devin Colman, Derrick Mosley, Jose Long, and transfers Eddie Hardy from Bevil State Community College, Jeremy Ingram from Enterprise State Community College, and Brandon Allen from Columbia State Community College.

Hayes has assembled a staff that he feels is strong in recruiting and excellent on the floor. His inaugural group of coaches includes a pair of veterans in the assistant coaching ranks.

The new man on "The Hill" is Mr. James Wright. The “Recruiting Machine” as he is known by University of Alabama-Huntsville Director of Athletics E. J. Brophy came to the Rocket City from the University of Arkansas-Pine Bluff.

Wright joins the staff after serving as the coach, president and general manager of the AAU basketball team Rise & Shine from 19932004. During his AAU coaching career, his team was consistently ranked in the AAU Top 25 from 1998-2002, while 85 percent of his players went on to play Division I or II basketball, including former Alabama Crimson Tide standout, Maurice (Mo) Williams, and the University of Mississippi’s Justin Reed. Both are currently playing in the National Basketball Association.

Dexter Holt began his collegiate coaching career under L. Vann Pettaway, the men’s basketball coach at the time, as a graduate, volunteer, and student assistant. Working under Pettaway for seven years, Holt has developed an understanding of the fundamentals of coaching and the transition game. Before his college career, Holt coached many recreational, AAU, and sports festival teams, working with youth ages 6 to 18. His basketball knowledge has been planted from legends and Hall of Famers of Alabama basketball, such as Jerry Dugan (high school coach), Ed Nulter (middle school coach), Press Parham (Alabama A&M) and of course L. Vann Pettaway (Alabama A&M).

Soon after getting the job, Hayes began revamping the Alabama A&M schedule. Opening night for Hayes takes place in the Big Easy as the Bulldogs battle the Green Wave of Tulane University at 8:00 p.m. on Friday, November 11.

Just three days later, Hayes and his troops will return to the friendly confines of T.M. Elmore Gymnasium for their home opener.

The Maroon & White will host the Tornadoes of Talladega College on November 14th. That contest is slated for a 7 p.m. tipoff.

Then on the 19th Oakwood College will challenge the Bulldogs in Elmore, opening tip is 7:30 p.m.

Following the contest versus Oakwood, the Bulldogs embark on a rig¬orous six-game road swing beginning in Tuscaloosa, Alabama against the Alabama Crimson Tide on November 23rd.

The month of December will see A&M head north to take on the University of Michigan (Dec. 17), Georgia Tech (Dec. 19), Tennessee State (Dec.21) and the University of Alabama-Birmingham (Dec. 31).
