Air Force Basketball 2011-12 -- 1
THE USAFA The United States Air Force Academy offers a four-year program of instruction and experience designed to educate, train and inspire men and women to become officers of character, motivated to lead the United States Air Force in service to our nation. Each cadet graduates with a bachelor of science degree and a commission as a second lieutenant in the Air Force. COURSE OF STUDY Cadets are exposed to a balanced curriculum that provides the knowledge, skills and responsibilities essential to a career Air Force officer. The entire USAFA experience is integrated and mapped to achieve a set of desired outcomes in every graduate. The core academic curriculum includes courses in basic sciences, engineering, social sciences and humanities. Cadets take additional elective courses to complete requirements for one of 32 major areas of study. About 50 percent of the cadets complete majors in science and engineering; the remainder graduate in the social sciences and humanities. Some of the most popular majors include management, aeronautical engineering, foreign area studies, history, behavioral science, civil engineering, astronautical engineering, electrical engineering and engineering mechanics. FACULTY COMPOSITION The majority of the Academy’s faculty members, more than 500 total, are Air Force officers. They are selected primarily from career-officer volunteers who have established outstanding records of performance and dedication. Each has at least a master’s degree and more than 55 percent have doctorates or other terminal degrees in their field of study. About 30 percent of the faculty are civilians who bring great depth of disciplinary and educational expertise and provide academic stability and continuity. Faculty members are intensely focused on cadet learning as an integral part of their officer development. The Air Force Academy has been ranked No. 1 in the nation for the most accessible and involved faculty for four years in a row. To provide greater contributions by a diverse faculty, the Academy has several distinguished visiting professors and endowed professors who serve one or more years. Officers from other services, as well as officers from allied countries are also members of the faculty. Distinguished civilian and military lecturers also share their expertise with the cadets during the academic year.
MILITARY EDUCATION AND TRAINING An air, space and cyberspace-oriented military education, training and leadership program begins with basic cadet training and continues throughout the four years. Seniors are responsible for the organizational leadership of the cadet wing, while juniors and sophomores seek to develop team and interpersonal leadership and instructional skills. Cadets are projected into as many active leadership roles as possible to prepare them to be effective Air Force officers. Fundamental concepts of military organization -- drill, ethics, honor, Air Force heritage and physical training -- are emphasized the first summer during basic cadet training. Freshmen then study the military role in United States society as well as the mission and organization of the Air Force. Sophomores receive instruction in communication skills and juniors study the combat and operational aspects of the Air Force. The Academy offers courses in flying, navigation, soaring and parachuting, building from basic skills to instructor duties. Some cadets may fly light aircraft with the Cadet Flying Team. Summer training for cadets is divided into three, three-week training periods. There are a variety of programs available and each cadet is required to complete two training periods each summer with leave during the other period. All new cadets take six weeks of basic cadet training in their first summer. Combat survival training is a required threeweek program during cadets’ second summer. For other second-summer training periods, cadets have options such as working with Airmen in an operational unit at an Air Force installation, airborne parachute training, soaring or basic free-fall parachute training. During their last two summers, all cadets are offered leadership training as supervisors or instructors in the summer programs listed above. Extracurricular activities also are an integral part of the education program. The cadet ski club, drum and bugle corps, cadet chorale and forensics are a few of the programs available. NOMINATIONS Nominations to the Academy may be obtained through a congressional sponsor or by meeting eligibility criteria in other categories of competition established by law. For information on admission procedures, write to HQ USAFA/RRS; 2304 Cadet Drive, Suite 200; USAF Academy, CO 80840-5025.
ATHLETIC PROGRAM The Academy’s athletic program is designed to improve physical fitness, teach athletic skills and develop leadership qualities. To achieve its goals, the Academy offers some of the most extensive physical education, intramural sports and intercollegiate athletic programs in the nation. Cadets take at least three different physical education courses each year.

HISTORY OF THE ACADEMY In 1948, a board of leading civilian and military educators was appointed to plan the curriculum for an academy that would meet the needs of the newly established Air Force. The board determined that Air Force requirements could not be met by expanding the other service academies and recommended an Air Force Academy be established without delay. In 1949, then Secretary of the Air Force W. Stuart Symington appointed a commission to assist in selecting a site and on April 1, 1954, President Dwight D. Eisenhower authorized creation of the United States Air Force Academy. After considering 580 sites in 45 states, the commission narrowed the choice to three locations. The summer of 1954, Secretary of the Air Force Harold Talbott selected a site near Colorado Springs, Colo. Colorado contributed $1 million toward purchase of the property. In July 1955, the first Academy class entered interim facilities at Lowry Air Force Base, Denver, while construction began. It was sufficiently completed for occupancy by the cadet wing in late August 1958. Initial construction cost was $142 million. Women entered the Academy on June 28, 1976, as members of the class of 1980.
USAFA SENIOR LEADERSHIP Lt. Gen. Michael C. Gould Lt. Gen. Michael C. Gould is Superintendent, U.S. Air Force Academy, Colorado Springs, Colo.

DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS Dr. Hans J. Mueh Mueh has been just as successful behind the scenes with the administration of the department. Mueh restructured the department with an internal/external model that has streamlined resources and made the department more effective from top to bottom. In addition, he has the department on course to become a federally chartered non-profit organization which will lead to more fund-raising opportunities.
Dr. Hans J. Mueh is in his eighth year as the director of athletics at the Air Force Academy. A retired Air Force brigadier general, Mueh was vice dean of faculty for two years prior to his retirement from active duty in the summer of 2004. Mueh was heavily involved in Academy athletics before becoming director of athletics. He was the Academy’s faculty athletics representative from 1996-2004 and was a long-time member of the board of directors for the Air Force Academy Athletics Association. Since becoming the director of athletics, Mueh has led the Academy to some remarkable feats. In 2007, the Academy was one of only three schools (Michigan State and Boston College) to reach post-season play in football (2007), men’s basketball and ice hockey (2006-07). It marked the first time a service academy has ever had a team compete in the post-season in all three sports. In addition, under Mueh’s watch the men’s basketball team has played in an NCAA tournament and the National Invitational Tournament’s Final Four. Mueh hired current head coach Jeff Reynolds and helped him continue Air Force’s winning tradition last season. The ice hockey team has won three straight conference championships and made three straight appearances in the NCAA tournament. Mueh was on the selection committee that hired current head coach Frank Serratore and led the Academy’s move into the Athletic Hockey Association. The women’s basketball program has shown steady improvement and tied a school record with four league wins in 2006-07.
Mueh has also been active within the conference and the NCAA. He was recently selected to be part of the NCAA Division I Amateurism Cabinet and has been active on the NCAA’s academics/eligibility compliance cabinet, the men’s golf committee and the region 7 postgraduate scholarship committee. Mueh has been equally active within the conference on various leadership committees. He is currently on the awards and recognition committee and has previously served on the joint council executive committee, and committees on championships, television and sportsmanship. Before assuming his duties as vice dean at the Academy, Mueh was permanent professor and head of the department of chemistry at the Academy, a position he held since October 1987 where he oversaw the annual design and instruction of 25 undergraduate courses for 1,500 cadets annually. Mueh was born Jan. 8, 1944, in Celle, Germany, and emigrated to the United States in 1951. He entered the Air Force in 1962 as a member of the Academy’s eighth graduating class, and graduated with a bachelor of science degree in chemistry in 1966. While at the Academy, Mueh was a two-year letterwinner in soccer as a goalie. He still holds the Academy record for saves in a game with 30, accomplishing it twice in 1965 against North Carolina and Benedictine. In his junior and senior years, Mueh helped the Falcons to the Rocky Mountain Intercollegiate Soccer League championship and quarterfinal berths in the NCAA tournament.
The football program, the Academy’s flagship sport, went through a major overhaul. Mueh led the transition from the retirement of the legendary Fisher DeBerry after 23 years at the helm to hiring current head coach Troy Calhoun, a 1989 Academy graduate. Calhoun’s impact was immediate, leading the Falcons to a 9-4 overall mark and a second-place finish in the Mountain West Conference in 2007. The Falcons qualified for their first bowl game in five years, playing in the Armed Forces Bowl in 2007 and 2008.

Following graduation, Mueh completed two assignments in intelligence before attending the University of Wisconsin where he earned his master’s degree in chemistry in 1970. He later earned a doctorate degree in chemistry from Wisconsin in 1976 as a distinguished graduate. He has also completed Squadron Officer School, Air Command and Staff College and Air War College. Between earning the two degrees, Mueh returned to the Academy as an instructor in the department of chemistry from 1970-72. He also served as assistant soccer coach and played semi-pro soccer with the Aurora Internationals in Denver during those two years, leading the Internationals to the Colorado state title in 1971. He volunteered for duty in Vietnam and served as an intelligence officer in Saigon, Republic of Vietnam and at Nakhon Phanom RTAB, Thailand, in 1972 and 1973. After earning his doctorate degree, Mueh returned to the Academy in 1976 as an associate professor of chemistry. He remained at the Academy except for a stint in 1985-86 as the special assistant for technical matters at the Defense Intelligence Agency at the Pentagon. In 1986, he assumed the position of acting head, department of chemistry, before being selected for his position of permanent professor and head of the department of chemistry in 1987. As faculty athletics representative, he was active in both the Western Athletic Conference and Mountain West Conference, and was the Academy’s representative on the transition team to form the new MWC, the only faculty athletics representative on the team. He competes in golf, racquetball, handball and tennis, and has promoted Air Force Academy intercollegiate sports throughout his tenure, beginning with work as chairman of the hockey eligibility committee, officer representative to the men’s golf team and five years as the officer representative to the football team. Mueh is married to the former Sally Flax of Cincinnati, Ohio. They have three children, Kristine, Kurt and Deborah.
Director of Athletics Dr. Hans Mueh introduces Jeff Reynolds as new head coach at Air Force on April 17, 2007. Dr. Mueh is in his eighth season as the Director of Athletics. In 2006-07, Air Force was one of just three Division I schools to reach postseason play in football, men’s basketball and ice hockey and the first service academy to accomplish the remarkable feat.
USAFA ATHLETICS Few schools in the country have an athletic program as extensive as the Air Force Academy’s. The goals of the athletic program are to enhance the physical conditioning of all cadets, to develop the physical skills necessary for officership, to teach leadership in a competitive environment and to build character. There are three subdivisions of the athletic program: intercollegiate athletics, intramurals and physical education. The intercollegiate program has 17 men’s and 10 women’s NCAA-sanctioned teams, facing some of the top competition in the nation. Men’s teams are football, baseball, basketball, ice hockey, cross-country, fencing, golf, gymnastics, indoor and outdoor track, lacrosse, rifle, soccer, swimming and diving, tennis, water polo and wrestling. The Academy fields women’s teams in basketball, cross-country, fencing, gymnastics, rifle, indoor and outdoor track, swimming and diving, soccer, tennis and volleyball. In addition, the Academy sponsors two non-NCAA programs; boxing and cheerleading. The majority of the Academy’s men’s and women’s programs compete at the NCAA Division I level in the Mountain West Conference. The Falcons compete in this conference against teams from Boise State, Colorado State, New Mexico, San Diego State, TCU, UNLV and Wyoming. All sports also compete against non-conference opponents, including many nationally-ranked teams. The football team competes annually for the Commander-in-Chief’s Trophy, which is emblematic of service academy football supremacy. The Falcons have won the trophy 18 times, which is more than any other academy. The winner of the annual rivalry visits the White House to have the trophy presented by the President of the United States.

The USAFA Cadet Field House is one of the most impressive buildings in the country. It’s a modern, versatile structure with seemingly endless uses. The $5.6 million building is five stories high and 396 feet by 426 feet, the size of three football fields laid side by side. The structure is divided into three areas--basketball arena, ice hockey arena and multipurpose area. The three sections have a combined seating capacity of more than 9,000. Clune Arena seats 5,858. The Cadet Ice Rink has a seating capacity of 2,470, while the multi-purpose area seats 1,000 fans for track and field competitions. The department’s newest facility, the Holaday Athletic Center (above), was completed in July 2011.

HEAD COACH JEFF REYNOLDS
Jeff Reynolds, the seventh head coach in Air Force basketball history, begins his fifth season at the helm in 2011-12. Reynolds guided the Falcons to a 1616 record last season and a spot in the CollegeInsider.com tournament, AFA’s first post-season appearance since 2007. After defeating North Dakota 77-67 at Clune Arena in the first round, the Falcons fell to eventual champion Santa Clara, 88-75, on the road in the second round. The Falcons were 6-10 in the Mountain West, good for a sixth-place tie with Utah. Reynolds led Air Force, which was picked ninth in the preseason poll, to the biggest jump of any MWC team from predicted to actual finish. The 2010-11 season was a pleasant surprise after two consecutive 10-21 campaigns, including an injury-riddled ‘09-10 campaign in which seven significant players missed a total of 61 games, forcing Reynolds to use 10 different starting lineups. The previous season, he led the
Falcons to their first-ever victory at the Mountain West Conference Championships with a thrilling, 71-67 victory over Colorado State in the first round. In fact, counting AFA’s 59-40 win over Wyoming at the 2010 MWC Tournament, Reynolds has the second-most conference tournament victories of any coach in program history with two. Reynolds, who served as an assistant coach with the Falcons for two seasons before his promotion to head coach on April 17, 2007, led the Falcons to a fifth-place finish in the Mountain West Conference in his first season after Air Force was picked eighth in the preseason media and coaches poll. That was also the greatest margin between prediction and actual finish in the conference that season. Reynolds, who enters the ‘11-12 campaign with a 134-106 career record in eight seasons, took over a program that had just graduated its best class ever and returned one player that had ever started a game. He led the team to an impressive 16-14 overall record and 8-8 mark in the Mountain West Conference. In addition, he was instrumental in helping Tim Anderson earn the MWC Defensive Player of the Year award. During his two seasons as an assistant, Reynolds helped guide Air Force to two of its most successful campaigns on the basketball court. In 2005-06, the Falcons were 24-7, the best record in program history, and played in the NCAA Tournament for just the fourth time ever. In ‘06-07, Air Force posted a 26-9 record,

setting a new school record for most victories in one season, and advanced to the semifinals of the NIT. Air Force was just one of 17 Division I teams to win at least 50 games in those two seasons. In addition, the Falcons posted a 31-1 record at Clune Arena and Reynolds helped four Falcons, Jacob Burtschi, Nick Welch, Dan Nwaelele and Matt McCraw, join the 1,000-point club during the 200607 campaign. Reynolds came to the Academy after serving as an assistant coach at Tulane for five seasons. During his time at Tulane, Reynolds coached Linton Johnson, who has played in the NBA for six seasons, most recently with the Phoenix Suns. Johnson was a member of the San Antonio Spurs when they won the NBA championship in 2005. Prior to his stint at Tulane, Reynolds served as the head coach at Division II Wingate University in Wingate, N.C., where he logged an impressive 61-27 record in three seasons. In those three seasons, Reynolds built the program into a Division II powerhouse. In 1999-2000, his team led the nation in scoring defense and posted an impressive 26-4 record, closing the year with a final national ranking of No. 7 and a spot in the NCAA Tournament. In 1998-99, Reynolds guided Wingate to its first NCAA Tournament bid, as well as its first national ranking, and the Bulldogs closed that season with a 23-6 mark as Reynolds earned South Atlantic Conference Coach of the Year honors.
As the top assistant coach at his alma mater, UNC-Greensboro, from 1995-97, Reynolds helped the program to the 1996 Big South Championship and a bid to the 1996 NCAA Tournament. The Spartans fell to Elite Eight team Cincinnati, 66-61, in the first round. Prior to that, he served for four years as the top assistant at UNC-Wilmington, helping the Seahawks to Colonial Athletic Association Most Improved Team honors in 1992. Reynolds began his coaching career at James Madison University in 1981, serving as a partime assistant for a team which won 24 games and advanced to the NCAA Tournament in 1982. He went on to Division II power Randolph-Macon College, which reeled off three straight NCAA Tournament appearances and earned a No. 4 national ranking in the final poll of 1984. He logged one year as the head coach of North Carolina Wesleyan College in 1985-86, leading the program to a 21-7 mark and the Dixie Conference Championship, before moving on to Winthrop College as an assistant coach for four years. At Winthrop, he was directly involved in the team’s transition from Division II to Division I, and, in 1988, the school captured the Big South Conference Championship. Reynolds, 56, is married to the former Janet Montgomery and the couple resides in Colorado Springs.

2011-12 OPPONENTS CABLE CAR CLASSIC Dec. 29-30 @ Santa Clara, CA
In 1967 the Cable Car Classic was founded by Art Santo Domingo, a former public relations director of the San Francisco Giants, and his long-time friend, the late Harry Jupiter, a sports writer for the San Francisco Examiner, who passed away three years ago. This year’s Classic will feature hostSanta Clara, Eastern Michigan, Air Force and Wagner. In 31 of the Classic’s 44 years, the Classic has featured a team that would receive a bid to the NCAA Tournament just months later. For 10 years it has featured multiple teams who would later advance. The 1995 Cable Car Classic proved to be one of the strongest fields with all four teams advancing to the 1996 NCAA Tournament in March. Penn State won the Cable Car Classic with Georgia Tech, Santa Clara and Bradley also making the post-season. Georgia Tech won the ACC that year as well. Those participating in past Cable Car Classics read like a who’s who in college basketball history. From the Santa Clara teams of the 1960’s and ‘70’s that featured the talents of Bud Ogden, Dennis Awtrey and Kurt Rambis and the USF squads, led by Kevin Restani, Winford Boynes and Bill Cartwright to traditional basketball powers such as Dean Smith’s North Carolina Tar Heels featuring Michael Jordan and James Worthy and the Ralph Sampson-led Virginia Cavaliers, to the ‘90s with Stephen Marbury of Georgia Tech to this century’s teams, including one of the Air Force Academy’s best-ever teams in 2006. The Falcons won the Cable Car Classic in 2006, defeating George Washington, 66-52, in the first round and host Santa Clara, 78-48 in the championship game. Jacob Burtschi was named the tournament’s Most Valuable Player.

The Mountain West 57 -- Air Force Basketball 2011-12
THE MOUNTAIN WEST From its inception in 1999, the Mountain West has been committed to excellence in intercollegiate athletics, while promoting the academic missions of its member institutions. Progressive in its approach, the MW continues to cultivate opportunities for student-athletes to compete at the highest level, while fostering academic achievement and sportsmanship. Now in its 13th year, the MW has been assertive in its involvement with the NCAA governance structure and has taken a leadership role in the overall administration of intercollegiate athletics. The Mountain West has marked several achievements over its first 12 years of existence, most notably becoming the first to establish a sports television network dedicated solely to an intercollegiate athletic conference (The Mtn.). The Mountain West also was the first to experiment with the coaches’ challenge in the college football instant replay system, and was the first non-automatic-qualifying BCS conference to participate in four BCS bowl games, winning three. Additionally, the Mountain West was the first conference to have a member institution with No. 1 overall picks in both the NFL and NBA drafts in the same year (Utah’s Alex Smith and Andrew Bogut, respectively in 2005). With San Diego State’s Stephen Strasburg claiming the No. 1 pick in the 2009 MLB Draft, the Mountain West is one of two conferences to have the No. 1 selection in each of the NFL, NBA and MLB drafts since the MW was founded in 1999. In 2011-12, the Mountain West will be among the first conferences to implement a league-wide state-of-the art basketball instant replay system. The Mountain West is noted for its geographic diversity. Some of the most beautiful terrain and landscapes in the nation can be found within Mountain West boundar-
ies, including the majestic Rocky Mountain range, which borders three MW institutions (Air Force, newest member Boise State and Colorado State). The high plains of Wyoming (elevation 7,220 feet – the highest Division I campus in the nation) contrast with the desert city of Las Vegas (the fastest growing metropolitan area in the West) and the Pacific Ocean locale of San Diego State. The southwestern flavor of New Mexico complements the western heritage and culture of Fort Worth, Texas, home of TCU. The Mountain West was conceived on May 26, 1998, when the presidents of eight institutions — Air Force, BYU, Colorado State, New Mexico, San Diego State, UNLV, Utah and Wyoming — decided to form a new NCAA Division I-A intercollegiate athletic conference. The split from a former 16-team conference re-established continuity and stability among the membership within the new league and signaled the continuation of its traditionrich, long-standing athletic rivalries. Three of the MW’s eight original members have been conference rivals since the 1960s (New Mexico, Wyoming and Colorado State), while San Diego State (1978) and Air Force (1980) were longtime members as well. UNLV and TCU entered the fold in 1996 and the Rebels continued as one of the original eight institutions that formed the MW in 1999. TCU re-joined the group with its first year of competition in the Mountain West in 2005-06. Effective July 1, 2011, Boise State University became the newest member. California State University, Fresno and the University of Nevada, Reno will join the Mountain West effective July 1, 2012. Also on July 1, 2012, the University of Hawai‘i will become a football-only member of the Conference.
When the Mountain West officially began operations on July 1, 1999, the new league had in place a seven-year contract with ESPN, giving the OUNTAIN EST broadcaster exclusive national MEDIA CONTACTS television rights to MW footCraig Thompson, Commissioner ...........(719) 488-4040 ball and men’s basketball, and three-year agreements Javan Hedlund, Assistant Commissioner/Communications to send the league’s football (719) 488-4051 ................ jhedlund@themwc.com champion to the Liberty Bowl and a second team to the Las Kim Melcher, Director of Communications (MBB Contact) Vegas Bowl.

MAACO Bowl Las Vegas, San Diego Country Credit Union Poinsettia Bowl, AdvoCare V100 Independence Bowl and Gildan New Mexico Bowl. An innovator in the postseason bowl structure, the MW engineered many “firsts,” as league teams have participated in five inaugural bowl games (2000 Silicon Valley, 2001 New Orleans, 2002 San Francisco (Emerald), 2005 Poinsettia, 2006 New Mexico), as well as placing the first non-automatic-qualifying BCS team into a BCS bowl game with Utah’s appearance in the 2005 Tostitos Fiesta Bowl. From the gridiron to the diamond, Mountain West teams enjoyed an outstanding year in 2010-11. For the third consecutive year, the MW sent a record five football teams to bowl games, posting the best win percentage among the 11 FBS conferences for the fourth time in seven years. The Mountain West finished with a 4-1 (.800) mark in postseason play and claimed the 2010-11 Bowl Challenge Cup, becoming the only conference to win the trophy four times since the award’s inception in 2002-03. Two MW teams were ranked in the final BCS Standings and USA Today/ESPN Coaches polls for the third straight year. TCU’s No. 3 BCS ranking marked the highest finish by a non-automatic-qualifying team in the final BCS Standings, surpassing the Horned Frogs’ No. 4 ranking in 2009. The Horned Frogs’ automatic bid to the Rose Bowl marked the MW’s fourth BCS bowl game since 2004. The MW set a record for attendance with 1.86 million fans coming to football games in the 2010 season. Three men’s basketball teams represented the Mountain West in the 2011 NCAA Tournament, marking the 11th time in the last 12 years the Conference has sent multiple teams to the Big Dance. Regular season co-champion San Diego State captured the MW Tournament title to earn the league’s automatic bid, while MW co-regular-season champion BYU was joined by UNLV in receiving at-large invitations. San Diego State and BYU advanced to the Sweet Sixteen.

TEAM AWARD WINNERS The Bob Spear Award is given to the player that is outstanding in all areas of the Academy -- academics, athletics and military performance. The award started in 1991 and is named for former head coach Bob Spear. Known as the “Father of Air Force Basketball,” he coached the Falcons from 1957-71. Spear led the Falcons to a 177-175 record and is the winningest coach in school history. Spear led Air Force to winning seasons in seven of his 15 years and the school’s first two NCAA Tournament appearances. His 1960 and 1962 squads were selected to the Midwest Regional. Spear also coached two of Air Force’s five AllAmericans (Bob Beckel and Cliff Parsons). Aaron Benson was the inaugural winner of the award following the 1990-91 campaign. Derek Brooks won the award last season.

FORMER FALCON GREGG POPOVICH HAS WON FOUR NBA TITLES WITH SAN ANTONIO SPURS San Antonio Spurs head coach and general manager Gregg Popovich is a former Falcon. Born in East Chicago, Ind., Popovich, a 1970 graduate of the Air Force Academy, is the son-in-law of the late Air Force athletic trainer Jim Conboy. As a senior at Air Force, Popovich led the Falcons in scoring with a 14.3 average and served as team captain while helping the team to a 12-12 record. He graduated with a degree in Soviet studies, followed by a five-year military commitment in the United States Air Force. Soon thereafter, he made his first foray into coaching, spending six years as an assistant at the Academy. He then spent eight seasons as the head coach of Pomona-Pitzer College in Claremont, Calif., leading the team to its first conference championship in 68 years in 1985-86. He then joined Larry Brown as an assistant for the Spurs. After a two-year stint coaching with Don Nelson at Golden State, Popovich returned to the Spurs as general manager in 1994. Popovich added head coaching to his long list of responsibilities on Dec. 10, 1996, when he replaced Bob Hill on the Spurs’ sideline. With a roster decimated by injuries to key players such as David Robinson and Sean Elliott, the Spurs struggled through the remainder of the season, finishing a lowly 20-62, including 17-47 under Popovich, who is also the team’s executive vice president of basketball operations. But they struck it rich in the NBA Draft Lottery, coming away with the right to pick first in the 1997 NBA Draft. And as expected, Popovich chose Tim Duncan, the All-American from Wake Forest who teamed with Robinson to form a formidable Twin Towers. The Spurs soared to 56-26 in 1997-98, setting an NBA record for the greatest single-season turnaround in league history by winning 36 more games than the year before. San Antonio beat Phoenix in the first round of the playoffs but lost to Utah in five games in the Western Conference Semifinals. In 1998-99, the Spurs posted a league-best 37-13 record during the strike-shortened regular season and followed that up with a 15-2 mark in the playoffs, beating Minnesota 3-1 and then sweeping the Lakers and Portland before defeating New York 4-1 in the NBA Finals. Popovich led the Spurs to their second NBA title in 2003 after posting a 60-22 record during the regular season. San Antonio defeated the New Jersey Nets, 4-2, in the NBA Finals. Popovich was named NBA Coach of the Year following the season. The Spurs gave Popovich his third NBA championship ring in 2005 after posting a 59-23 regular season record. San Antonio defeated the defending champs, Detroit Pistons, in seven games in the NBA Finals. After producing an NBA-high 63 victories during the 2005-06 campaign, the Spurs won their fourth title under Popovich in ‘06-07 by sweeping the Cleveland Cavaliers in four games. Popovich is one of only two active NBA coaches with multiple NBA titles (Phil Jackson-10) and one of only four coaches in NBA history with at least 100 playoff victories, joining Jackson, Pat Gregg Popovich (second from right) with Manu Riley and Larry Brown. Popovich has also been a champion off the court. In 1991, he teamed with Frank Martin to Ginobili, Tim Duncan and Tony Parker and the create the Spurs/Pizza Hut Drug-Free Youth Basketball League. Currently, the league plays at 75 2007 NBA Championship Trophy. Popovich has locations in and around San Antonio. More than 20,000 boys and girls – ages 7 to 16 – played in the won four NBA titles. league in 2002-03 (Spurs guard Devin Brown played in the Spurs Drug-Free League). Prior to each game, every participant takes the Drug-Free League pledge, promising to remain drug and alcohol free while showing good sportsmanship and fair play. Popovich, active in the San Antonio community, was also honored by President George Bush in February 1992 with a “Daily Point of Light Award” for the Spurs Drug Free Basketball League. He was also named a distinguished graduate by the Academy in 2008.

CREDENTIALS
Players: Air Force players are available for interviews any day the team practices. Players will not be available on non-practice days. All interviews will be scheduled before practice (primarily between 1:30 and 2:15 p.m.). If the requested player is not available before practice, all efforts will be made to conduct the interview after practice. Please request each player at least one day in advance so the player can be properly notified.
General: All credentials must be requested from the athletic communications office no later than noon (MT) the day before the game. No credentials will be issued the day of the game. Visiting team media are urged to request credentials through the team they cover and credentials will be distributed in advance of the game.

Head Coach Jeff Reynolds: Air Force head coach Jeff Reynolds is available on Mondays and Fridays between 1:15 and 1:45 p.m. during the regular season.
