NCAA Tournament Triumphs  Bucknell has made four NCAA Tournament appearances (1987, 1989, 2005, 2006).  In 2005, the Bison became the first Patriot League team ever to win an NCAA Tournament game, upsetting third-seeded Kansas 64-63 in Oklahoma City.  One year later, Bucknell repeated the feat, knocking out Arkansas 59-55. Bucknell was a No. 9 seed in the tournament in 2006, the highest seeding ever for a Patriot League team.  In 2005, the Bison were eliminated in the second round by Wisconsin, 71-62, in a game Bucknell led with nine minutes to play. Top-seeded Memphis defeated Bucknell 72-56 in round two in 2006.

The Bison opened Patriot League play with home wins over Navy and arenas in Washington, Coliseum, and the Carrier Dome, as well as NBA American, stretching their winning streak against conference foes to 23. D.C., Dallas and Oklahoma City. The run ended on Jan. 12 at Holy Cross, but it would be nearly two months before Bucknell tasted defeat again. A hard-fought road win at Lafayette ignited a 14-game winning streak, the longest in-season streak in school history. A three-point home win over Holy Cross in the rematch at Sojka Pavilion highlighted the run. A year after posting an unprecedented 14-0 Patriot League record, the Bison went 13-1 last season and tied for the PL regular-season title with Holy Cross. The Crusaders were awarded the No. 1 seed and pivotal home-court advantage in the Patriot League Tournament based on the league’s final tiebreaker, the RPI. Bucknell opened postseason play at home with victories over Navy and Army by an average margin of 20 points. That set the stage for a third straight Bucknell-Holy Cross showdown for the Patriot League title. Bucknell won at the Hart Center in 2005 and at Sojka Pavilion in 2006, but this time it was the Crusaders who prevailed, 74-66. Seven busloads of orange-clad Bison fans invaded Worcester, Mass., and watched their team erase all of a 19-point second-half deficit, but Holy Cross had enough down the stretch. Despite 22 victories and the PL regular-season co-championship, Bucknell was not selected for an atlarge berth to either the NCAA Tournament or NIT. That brought an end to the brilliant careers of Abe Badmus, Donald Brown and Chris McNaughton, who graduated as the program’s all-time winningest senior class with 87 victories. McNaughton, who ranked sixth on Bucknell’s career scoring list (second among centers), earned both First Team All-Patriot League and Patriot League Scholar-Athlete of the Year honors for the third year in a row. Brown, despite missing seven games with a broken hand near the end of a terrific senior season, earned Second Team honors.

Bison in the Pros Never in the history of Bison Basketball have more Bucknell alumni been playing professional basketball at the same time. As many as 10 recent Bucknell graduates have continued their hoops careers overseas. The most prominent of those is J.R. Holden '98, the point guard for European powerhouse CSKA Moscow. Holden also starts for the Russian National Team, with which he competed at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing after a stunning victory over Spain in the 2007 European Championship. Holden's buzzer-beater gave the Russians the Euro title. Here are some other former Bison now in the pro ranks:  Bryan Bailey ’02 — Averaged about 8 points and 3 assists per game for PGE Turow Zgorzelec in Poland in 2008-09. Previously played in Germany, The Netherlands and Bosnia.  Donald Brown ’07 — Played a season for U.M.F. Tindastoll in Iceland, where he averaged better than 20 points per game. He suffered an injury that kept him out of action last season.  John Griffin ’08 — Enjoyed a very successful debut season with the Proveo Merlins Crailsheim in Germany, averaging 20.3 points and 3.5 assists per game before going down with a knee injury late in the year.  Boakai Lalugba ’03 — Averaged 11.8 points and 7.1 rebounds in 2008-09 in his second season with JL Bourg in France.

Lee averaged 13.1 points and 4.4 rebounds while leading his upstart team to a runner-up finish in the Bundesliga. This year he joins another top German club, the Artland Dragons. Lee played in two NBA Summer League sessions with the San Antonio Spurs and was in veterans training camp in ’06.  Chris McNaughton ’07 — In 2009-10 McNaughton will join Lee’s former team, Goettingen in the German Bundesliga. The Germany native spent the last two seasons playing in Spain. Last year with Palencia, he averaged 10.4 points and 5.1 rebounds while shooting just under 60% from the field.  Chris Rodgers — Played at Bucknell from 2002-04 before transferring to Wilmington College. He played last season for the Konstantin Elephants Grevenbroich in Germany. He previously played for three different EBA teams.  Davorin Skornik ‘04 — Played last season with with Trenkwalder Reggio Emilia in Italy and MFC.2 Branik Maribor in his native Slovenia.

Sojka Pavilion: The Place to Be Bucknell’s recent hoops success has captured the imagination of the campus and surrounding communities, so much so that the Bison have attracted one of the best home-court advantages in the nation. Some Sojka facts:  Sojka Pavilion, Bucknell’s home since 2003, has attracted sellout crowds 18 times in the last four seasons, and the Bison have led the Patriot League in attendance each year.  Bucknell crowds are led by “The Sojka Psychos” student section, clad in all orange behind both baskets.  The spirited crowds have helped the Bison to a 62-23 record in Sojka Pavilion, including a 45-10 mark against Patriot League competition.  Bucknell had a 38-game home winning streak against Patriot League foes that spanned five seasons.  Major-conference foes Villanova and Wake Forest have visited Sojka Pavilion in recent years. The Villanova game attracted a standing-room-only crowd of 4,433, which remains the largest ever to see a basketball game on the Bucknell campus. Wake Forest was the first ACC team ever to play at Bucknell.  Sixteen nationally televised games have been aired from Sojka Pavilion, including the ESPN2 telecast of the 2006 Patriot League championship game between Bucknell and Holy Cross.  Bucknell will play 12 regular-season home games in 2009-10.  A total of 244,146 fans have watched men’s basketball games at Sojka so far.

First-Class Training Facilities Bucknell men’s basketball student-athletes have at their disposal practice and training facilities that are at the head of their class.  On non-game days, Sojka Pavilion transforms into a multi-purpose practice court. The retractable grandstands allow for as many as eight baskets to be put into use, while at the same time letting the team practice every day on its home game floor.  The men’s basketball team has its own private, newly refurbished locker room, featuring a large-screen television and state-of-the-art video technology for team meetings and film study.  The interior decoration, including installation of hard maple lockers and stools, was updated in 2007-08.  As part of the six-year-old Langone Athletics & Recreation Center complex, the spacious Berger Family Weight Room includes varsity-only space for the Bison teams to train under the tutelage of full-time strength & conditioning coach Jerry Shreck and his staff.  Also under the Langone Athletics & Recreation Center roof is a state-of-the art Sports Medicine Center that features numerous treatment modalities including electric stimulation, ultrasound, hydrotherapy and cryotherapy. The hallmark of the complex is its two hydrotherapy tubs (one hot and one cold). Each can hold between 6-10 athletes.

The Premier Scholar-Athlete Experience  Bucknell ranked second nationally in student-athlete graduation rate according to the NCAA’s fall 2008 report. Bucknell has led the nation in graduation rate on several occasions and annually ranks in the top 10.  Sixteen Bucknell varsity athletics programs, including men’s basketball, boasted perfect 100 percent Graduation Success Rates (GSR), factoring student-athletes who entered school between the 1998-99 and 2001-02 academic years.  All 27 Bucknell varsity programs easily meet the NCAA’s Academic Performance Rate (APR) standards. In fact, 17 Bison programs, including men’s basketball, earned NCAA Public Recognition Awards for ranking in the top 10 percent of all teams in their respective sport according to APR scores. That total led the Patriot League and ranked No. 7 nationally.  Doug Allen ‘88, a former Bison basketball player and now an Associate Dean of the School of Management, serves as the basketball team’s academic advisor. Prof. Allen is on call to help members of the team with academic issues and conflicts, and he serves as a liaison between the team and the faculty.  A student-athlete Academic Enhancement Lab is open six days a week throughout the school year. Fully equipped with computers and audio/video technology, the study center is conveniently located on the Sojka Pavilion concourse.

The Lee Idleman Academic All-America Wall, located in the Langone Athletics & Recreation Center, pays tribute to Bucknell’s 117 Academic All-Americans, the fifth-highest total among all Division I institutions.


What it Means to

be a bison

“... the pursuit of athletics in college need not interfere with a fellow’s studies, and if you give a boy a well developed body his brain will get the benefit of it.” — Christy Mathewson, in his book Won in the Ninth, written in 1910

The term “student-athlete” signifies something extraordinary on the campus of Bucknell University. Being a Bison means that you have the rare blend of physical skills along with the drive and passion needed to succeed at the highest level of collegiate athletics. Being a Bison also means that you are a scholar first and foremost. You believe that values associated with Division I athletics, such as time management, leadership, teamwork and grace under pressure, contribute to a well-rounded college experience. At Bucknell, our students, faculty and staff pride themselves as national leaders in upholding the scholar-athlete ideal that balances a challenging academic program with the demands of successful Division I athletics. Being a Bison means that you have pledged to be a student-athlete in the purest sense. In doing so, you will be rewarded for a lifetime.

G.W. Boon is a biomedical engineering major at Bucknell. He is one of four engineering majors on the Bison roster.

Bucknell Bison Athletics Setting the Standard of Excellence

Bucknell takes great pride in its commitment to excellence on and off the playing fields. From Presidents’ Cups to Academic All-Americans to graduation rates that are ranked annually in the national top-10, Bucknell is clearly at the head of the class when it comes to upholding the scholar-athlete ideal.

With three more Patriot League championships in 2008-09, Bucknell has now earned 73 crowns in 19 years in the league. In addition, Bucknell has had 100 conference players of the year, 83 PL coaches of the year and a whopping 476 individual league champions from sports such as cross country, track & field, swimming & diving, tennis and golf.

Bucknell has captured the Patriot League Presidents’ Cup, signifying the league’s all-sports champion, 15 times in the 19-year history of the affiliation, including 11 of the last 12 years. Bucknell claimed the overall and women’s Cup standings in 2008-09. It was the 12th straight year and the 15th time overall that the Bison took home the women’s title. In 2008-09, Bucknell won Patriot League titles in women’s indoor track & field, women’s rowing and men’s golf. Additionally, the baseball and men’s lacrosse teams captured regular-season titles.

According to federal data released by the NCAA in the fall of 2008, Bucknell’s four-year student-athlete graduation rate was second-highest in the nation among student-athletes who entered college between the 1998-99 and 2001-02 academic years. With a four-class average of 89 percent, Bucknell trailed only Davidson (92 percent) among all Division I institutions reporting federal graduation rates (the Ivy League and military academies do not report federal graduation rates). Georgetown, Notre Dame and Holy Cross were also at 89 percent. Bucknell’s student-athlete graduation rate is identical to its overall student-body average of 89 percent.

Bucknell has claimed a league-high 113 Patriot League Scholar-Athletes of the Year since the league’s inception as an all-sports conference in 1990-91.

Bucknell ranks FIFTH in the nation (to Nebraska, Notre Dame, Penn State and Stanford) in total number of ESPN The Magazine All-America selections.

A total of 366 Bison appeared on the Patriot League Academic Honor Roll in 2008-09 after recording a GPA of 3.2 or better during their sport’s competition season. Among all BU student-athletes, 255 made the Dean’s List with GPAs of 3.5 or better in the spring of 2009.

24 of Bucknell’s 27 varsity squads posted team GPAs of 3.0 or better in the spring of 2009.

In addition to the 117 ESPN the Magazine Academic All-Americans produced since 1970, Bucknell has also claimed 276 Academic All-District honorees over the same span, including a school-record 22 in 2008-09.

A major element in ensuring Bucknell’s commitment to athletics excellence is the Kenneth G. Langone Athletics & Recreation Center, which opened fully in 2003. One of the finest collegiate athletics facilities of its kind, the center includes the 4,000-seat Sojka Pavilion, the Olympic class Kinney Natatorium, the Krebs Family Fitness Center and the Berger Family Weight Room. A Hall of Fame area, a display of Bucknell’s Medal of Honor recipients, a new Academic All-America wall, a sports medicine suite, modern offices for coaches and staff, and locker room and classroom space are also included in the facility’s layout.

Bucknell Bison Athletics

A National Model in Promoting the Scholar-Athlete Ideal Bucknell Athletics is first and foremost a student-centered organization, one that strives to be a national model when it comes to operating by a true scholar-athlete model. At Bucknell, student-athletes’ academic programs are their first priority, and providing a competitive Division I athletics program only advances the mission, values and residential learning goals of the university. To that end, the Department of Athletics and Recreation proactively seeks ways to assist student-athletes in their daily academic pursuits. Below are just some of the student-athlete support programs currently in place. FACULTY ATHLETICS REPRESENTATIVE: The faculty athletics representative (FAR) is a member of the faculty or administrative staff who is designated to represent Bucknell in its relationships with the NCAA and the Patriot League. Bucknell’s FAR is Mitch Chernin, Professor of Biology. The FAR can enhance the student-athlete experience by promoting a balance between academics, athletics and the social lives of student-athletes, which affords them opportunities to enjoy the full range of collegiate experiences available to students generally. SIDELINE COACH PROGRAM: This program is a truly unique initiative in Division I college athletics, and it involves the invitation of a member of the faculty, administration, staff or community by one of Bucknell’s 27 varsity teams. The participant has the opportunity to discuss the overall program with the respective coaching staff, including practice preparation and strategy for the upcoming contest. The sideline coach attends a practice session and an actual intercollegiate competition, where he/she is introduced to the team and gains rarely seen insight into the relationships that exist between player-coach and player-player. The purpose of the Sideline Coaches Program is to foster a better understanding by the faculty and administration of the roles played by coaches and athletes in the university’s competitive intercollegiate athletic arena. ACADEMIC ENHANCEMENT CENTER: In the Fall of 2005, the Department of Athletics opened a study/computer lab for student-athletes on the concourse level of Sojka Pavilion. The center is outfitted with computers, a laser printer, four television monitors and a projection unit with computer, VCR and DVD player. Additionally, the study lab can be used as a meeting place for group projects, tutorial area or just a secluded and quiet study space before or after practice. LAPTOP PROGRAM: The Department of Athletics owns a number of laptop computers that may be signed out by student-athletes for use on away trips. STUDENT-ATHLETE ADVISORY COMMITTEE (SAAC): Representatives from each varsity team comprise the SAAC, which is designed to enhance the total student-athlete experience by promoting opportunity, protecting student-athlete welfare, and fostering a positive student-athlete image. The Committee is an invaluable resource for promoting communication between athletics administration and student-athletes; promoting communication between athletics and campus-wide administration; providing feedback and insight, as well as soliciting responses into department issues and proposed NCAA legislation; building a sense of community within the athletics program involving all athletics teams; organizing community service projects and efforts; creating a vehicle for student-athlete representation on campus-wide committees; serving as a collective voice of campus student-athletes; and disseminating information to the student-athlete body. OTHER PROGRAMMING: The Department of Athletics, through the identification of outside speakers and periodic “Brown Bag Luncheons,” thrives to enhance the quality of the student-athlete experience as well as to educate student-athletes on a variety of issues that may affect them throughout their collegiate career. Some recent topics of interest have been alcohol, nutrition, body image, hazing, sexuality, diversity, career development, study skills, religious life and gambling.

Lewisburg, Pennsylvania

One of the Best Small Towns In America Bucknell’s hilltop campus slopes into Victorian Lewisburg, population roughly 6,000, a town in which historic preservationists have influence. Lewisburg enjoys ornamental vanities that are not part of modern architecture. Gingerbread porches, carved wooden doors and three-globed street lights that make this town memorable. Historical roots are important in Lewisburg. The town celebrates the holidays with the annual Victorian Holiday Parade and exhibits at the Packwood House Museum and the Slifer House Museum. Its many historical sites include an Underground Railroad station. A weekly market brings Amish farmers to town in horse-drawn wagons. Lewisburg is ranked 15th in the nation in the book, The 100 Best Small Towns in America, written by Norman Crampton. The town earned this ranking by scoring high in areas such as the number of physicians per 100,000, the percentage of college-educated residents, the lowest number of serious crimes, and its location near state parks as well as being host to an institution of higher learning. The borough of Lewisburg began its early life as “Derrstown” named for its settler, landowner, and miller Ludwig Derr. While the date remains obscure, the historians point out that in English, the German name for Ludwig is Lewis. The town’s growth from 1785 until well into the 19th century was slow due to the lack of transportation, until a ferry was built to carry wagons across the Susquehanna River and a canal was completed in 1833. Lewisburg, surveyed in 1769, was not officially founded by Ludwig Derr until 1785. The borough was incorporated on March 31, 1812. Located on the Susquehanna, it has benefited with every development in transportation: turnpike, canal, railroad and now, highways. Enhanced by the chartering of Bucknell University on February 5, 1846, and the seating of the county government on October 9, 1855, the community expanded its development past Fifth Street to what is now Route 15. Most of the builders of this community are protected through historic district regulation. Education has always played a primary part in Lewisburg’s social society. As early as 1790 the basics were taught in private homes. In 1805 the “Log Cabin Academy” was built. In 1835 three new schools were added, while the present system consists of two elementary schools, a middle school — which was recently named the top middle school in the state — and a high school. Sixty-five percent of Lewisburg’s high school graduates go on to college. For more on Lewisburg, please visit the Lewisburg Downtown Partnership Web site at www.lewisburgpa.com.

bucknell no. 1 in salary potential among u.s. liberal arts colleges Graduates of Bucknell University have the highest earning potential in the nation, a research survey revealed in July 2008. The 2008 Education and Salary Report, prepared and released by Seattle-based PayScale Inc., named Bucknell graduates No. 1 among graduates of top U.S. liberal arts colleges by salary potential. The top liberal arts college category showed that the starting median salary for Bucknell graduates was $54,100, while the mid-career median salary was $110,000. Bucknell was followed by Colgate University at $52,800 and $108,000 and Amherst at $54,500 and $107,000, respectively. The salary report, the first issued by the company, also ranked Bucknell 13th among all Northeastern colleges and universities for salary potential. Dartmouth College, Princeton University, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Yale University, and Harvard University were Nos. 1-5, respectively. Except for Cooper Union (No. 9), Bucknell was the only predominantly undergraduate institution in the top 14 in this category. National Reputation A number of recent reports have served to underscore Bucknell’s national reputation: • In 2007, The Washington Monthly ranked Bucknell No. 7 among the best liberal arts colleges in the country when it comes to fostering research and promoting an ethic of service and social mobility. • Last year, the Peace Corps listed Bucknell at No. 6 on its top 25 list of small colleges and universities producing Peace Corps Volunteers. • Last February, Kiplinger’s Personal Finance magazine rated Bucknell as the 11th best value in private liberal arts colleges.

jay wright leads ‘nova to final four

holden becomes bucknell’s 4th olympian

Under the direction of 1983 Bucknell graduate Jay Wright, the Villanova men’s basketball team has returned to national prominence. Since arriving at Villanova in 2001, Wright helped the Wildcats reach a number of milestones, including a then-school-record 28 wins in 2005-06, a Big East regular-season title, a first-ever No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament and an Elite Eight trip in 2006. All of that was surpassed in March 2009, however, when Wright led his team into the Final Four at Ford Field in Detroit. Wright was a three-year letterman in basketball at Bucknell, where he received the Kribbs Award as team MVP in 1981-82 and the Musser Award for leadership in 1982-83. Wright was a freshman at Bucknell when former Bison coach Pat Flannery was a senior, and the two were publicly reunited in December 2005 when Wright brought his fourth-ranked Wildcats to Sojka Pavilion to play in front of the largest crowd in school history. Villanova prevailed, 79-60. Before arriving at Villanova in 2001, Wright was head coach at Hofstra for seven seasons, where he led the Pride to a pair of America East titles. In August 2005 he served as head coach of the gold medal-winning U.S. team at the World University Games in Turkey. Wright was named Former Bison coach Pat USA Basketball Co-Developmental Coach of the Flannery (L) with Jay Wright Year after leading the U.S. to an 8-0 record.

Another unlikely chapter in the amazing basketball story of J.R. Holden unfolded last summer, when the Pittsburgh native and 1998 Bucknell graduate suited up for Team Russia at the Olympic Games in Beijing. Holden’s underdog career path has been well-documented. First, he transformed himself from a lightly recruited guard into a 1,300-point scorer and a twotime First Team All-Patriot League selection at the Division I level. Holden has had a successful and lucrative overseas career that has taken him to Latvia, Belgium, Greece and Russia. He is now one of the top stars in European basketball, where he led the powerful CSKA Moscow team to the 2006 Euroleague title, and as a naturalized Russian citizen, he nailed the game-winning jumper to give Russia the Eurobasket 2007 title and a berth in the Olympics. In Beijing he started all five games and averaged 38.6 minutes, 17.6 points and 4.8 assists per game. In his Olympic debut, he had 19 points in Russia’s victory over Iran, then he added five points against Croatia, 25 against Lithuania, 20 against Australia and 19 against Argentina. Among all Olympians in pool play, he was the No. 5 scorer, and he also ranked No. 1 in minutes played and tied for third in assists. Holden became Bucknell’s fourth Olympian. The first was Dave Morley, who swam for his native Bahamas in the 1984 Olympics in Los Angeles. Cindy Ryder Matthes ‘88 competed for Team USA in rowing at the 1992 Olympics in Barcelona, while rower Brett Wilkinson ‘98 was also a J.R. Holden member of Team USA at the 2004 Games in Athens.

The 2009-10 Bison


2009-10 Season Outlook

deeper bison counting on renewed focus to pave way to quick turnaround What a difference a year makes. Head coach Dave Paulsen turns an Arctic shade of pale when he flashes back to the Bison team he inherited in the late summer of 2008. It was a team plagued by injuries and fitness issues, none bigger than the loss of reigning Patriot League Defensive Player of the Year Stephen Tyree to a season-ending knee injury. Projected starters G.W. Boon and Darryl Shazier both missed significant chunks of the preseason due to injury and all three seniors had health issues, leaving a major leadership void. Even the assistant coaches, pressed into preseason drills and scrimmages, were regulars in the athletic training room. The depth concerns were all the more problematic given that Paulsen, who was hired in May to succeed the retired Pat Flannery, was trying to install a new system and a new philosophy with such a fragmented group. That was the backdrop of a frustrating seven-win season, in which Bucknell lost four games in overtime and six others by four points or less. With an unproductive preseason — Paulsen admits today that the team did not begin to practice effectively on a daily basis until mid-January — the Bison were prone to slumps on both the offensive and defensive ends of the floor. Now flash ahead to the fall of 2009, and the situation is much more settled. The team’s overall health is significantly better, the players are confident in Paulsen’s system, and just as important, Paulsen now has a good feel for each individual’s personality and game.

“We are just light years ahead of where we were a year ago,” Paulsen says. “The returning guys are completely bought in. They understand what we are trying to do and how we are going to do it. They have embraced it and have worked hard in the offseason. And I now have a comfort level knowing who these guys are and what makes them tick. Where does Pat Behan operate more effectively versus Enoch Andoh versus Stephen Tyree? “We have made significant progress in really trying to re-create that basketball culture where we are positioned for success in terms of work ethic, attention to detail, unselfishness and leadership. You have to have those things before you can win games, and you have to have them for sure before you can win close games.” Paulsen says that almost every Bison player has come back this season more skilled and in better physical condition. For many of the returnees, the knowledge that a promising five-man freshman class has arrived to compete with them for minutes has been a major motivating factor toward a productive offseason. At the very least, the competitive level of Bucknell’s practices will be noticeably different in 2009-10. Offensively, Paulsen’s newly installed motion scheme seemed to fall victim to the unproductive preseason more than any other aspect. It is a system that requires precise dribbling, cutting and passing, something that would take some time to learn even with a healthy

roster. On top of those timing issues, the Bison were inconsistent shooting the ball. They shot only 38.4 percent from the floor as a team, the lowest percentage in the Patriot League and the eighth-lowest figure in all of Division I basketball. Their 3-point percentage (.343) was solid — second-best in the Patriot League and in the middle of the pack nationally — so obviously a


2009-10 Season Outlook major emphasis this offseason centered around finishing in the lane and around the rim. G.W. Boon (53), Bryan Cohen (51) and Darryl Shazier (37) all ranked among the league leaders in 3-pointers made a year ago, and the Bison should have plenty of options beyond the arc. “We have improved significantly as a team in our shooting drills in practice,” Paulsen says. “Last year we would put five minutes on the clock and ask out perimeter guys to make 50 threes. At the beginning of the season no one could do it. By the end of the year some guys were hitting 51 or 52. And now we have guys making over 60. And one of the things we like about our freshman class is that every one of them is a good shooter at his position. Whether they can do it at the college level remains to be seen, but they were all very good shooters in high school and we think they will be able to continue it here. “I think one of the main reasons we would go into shooting slumps was guys wearing down due to lack of depth. Also, until the very end of the year with Pat Behan, we did not have much of a credible inside presence at all, so everything was based on the perimeter on out. I think we’ll have more inside scoring, and we have worked very hard on driving the basketball from the perimeter. That should get us more open looks and hopefully improve our percentage.” The Bison have also returned in 2009-10 with a renewed focus on the defensive end of the floor. Last season Bucknell defended the 3-point arc very well. The team led the league and ranked 31st nationally in 3-point percentage defense (.312). But playing most of the season with a smaller lineup, the Bison struggled defending the lane, and a number of opposing low-post players had big nights against them.

Bryan Cohen

we gave some really good defensive efforts from mid-January on. But because of our inability to score at key junctures, the defense became exposed. A greater attention to detail is going to help us defensively, as will our guys being a year older and wiser. Having better depth will help. Ironically, being a better offensive team will help our defense. When you can score the ball a couple of times in a row, you get a little spring in your step and it becomes easier to get in your stance and chase a guy through a screen.”

“We have made significant progress in really trying to re-create that basketball culture where we are positioned for success in terms of work ethic, attention to detail, unselfishness and leadership.” — Head Coach Dave Paulsen Paulsen says that much of the team’s defensive struggles last season were actually manifested in the offensive issues. “Last year, how we were playing offensively was such a big change for the returning players, I probably spent too much time on that early in the season,” Paulsen offers. “Early in the year we had some games where we scored plenty of points and started to look better offensively, but we couldn’t guard anybody. Then we made a concerted effort to shore up the defense, and then we couldn’t score. It was like one of those situations where you put a finger on the dike, only to spring a leak somewhere else. “In the Patriot League we were second in the league in field goal percentage defense behind only a veteran American team. I thought

Personnel-wise, the Bison return six of their top seven scorers from last year, with only guard Justin Castleberry (11.5 points per game) lost among that group. Senior Patrick Behan, a Second Team All-Patriot League selection in 200809, is back after leading the team in scoring (13.8 ppg) and rebounding (6.8 rpg). Off-guard Bryan Cohen (11.8 ppg, 4.1 rpg) is coming off a breakout freshman year in which he established himself as not only a key scorer but also as one of the league’s best defenders. Junior point guard Darryl Shazier averaged a career-high 7.8 points per game and also became the first Bucknell player ever to lead the Patriot League in assists (4.6 apg) last season. When Paulsen turned to a smaller lineup last January, sliding Behan to center, junior G.W.

Boon (9.8 ppg, 4.4 rpg) became the starting power forward. Senior Zach Evans (2.4 ppg, 3.3 rpg) and sophomore Enoch Andoh (3.0 ppg, 3.7 rpg) both played more than 12 minutes per game as key reserves. Five freshmen bolster the roster this season as well, with help arriving at every spot on the floor. Canadian star Bryson Johnson will likely begin as Shazier’s backup at the point. Mike Muscala, a 6’10” Minnesotan with plenty of game both inside and outside, is expected to garner significant minutes up front. New Jersey Shore region star Joe Willman and local product Colin Klebon (Southern Columbia High School) also have bright futures in the frontcourt. And sharpshooting guard D.J. Rowe comes in as a recruited walk-on from Harrisburg’s Cedar Cliff High School. “This freshman class is going to be exciting to watch grow up in Bucknell uniforms over the next four years,” says Paulsen. “It’s not a matter of ‘if’ they are going to be good players, but just a matter of ‘when.’ Collectively they have to embrace the process of trying to get a little bit better every day. Some days are going to be better than others. There are going to be ups and downs. That’s what it means to be a freshman in college.” The addition of the strong freshman class and the return of Tyree means that the team’s depth will be drastically better than last season. Now, Paulsen is working to coax his returning starters into taking a leap forward to become not only true leaders in the locker room, but toward playing with the confidence that would allow them to become stars on the floor. “We still need to prove that we are tough enough to win those close games down the stretch, and we need a couple of guys to step up, and not in a selfish way, but prove they are first team all-league type of players,” Paulsen offers. “If you are going to win your league you need a solid rotation where you can go nine or 10 deep, but you also have one or two first team

2009-10 Season Outlook

G.W. Boon

all-league guys where you can look to make the big plays down the stretch for you, night in and night out, and especially on the road. We have guys who are capable of getting there, but they haven’t done it yet. I’m excited about seeing where the journey takes us.” Following is a more detailed look at the Bison lineup for 2009-10. Backcourt Junior Darryl Shazier played almost every minute at the point last season, probably too many minutes if you ask Dave Paulsen. That is not because Shazier did not have a solid season, but because he tended to wear down late in games after averaging over 36 minutes per contest, the second-highest figure in the Patriot League. Still, he led the league in assists (4.6) and assist-to-turnover ratio (2.06) while giving the Bison stability at the point guard position. Shazier significantly improved his longrange shooting last season, upping his 3-point field goal percentage from 23.8 as a freshman to 37.0 a year ago. He scored in double figures nine times, with a career high of 21 against Army on the road. Two areas of improvement that Paulsen is working on with Shazier are his mid-range game and the vocal aspects of running the point. “Darryl struggled shooting the ball inside the arc, and we want him to improve on his midrange game,” says Paulsen. “In the workouts so far, he has significantly improved his mid-range game. He has made progress so far, but he really needs to work even harder at becoming more of a vocal leader and an extension of the coach

on the floor. He has embraced the need to do that, and he is working at that and is making progress. He’s not there yet, but he is way ahead of where he was a year ago.” Alongside Shazier is sophomore Bryan Cohen, who may have been the team’s most pleasant surprise last season. The new Bison staff was quickly impressed by Cohen’s vast array of skills, but even then they could not imagine all he would contribute as a first-year player. Cohen started every game in the backcourt and averaged better than 33 minutes per game, the most among all Patriot League rookies. That he averaged 11.8 points per game only told part of the story. He handled the ball well, scored both inside and outside, and as an athletic 6’5” two-guard, he proved to be a key defensive weapon. This summer Cohen was a part of Bruce Pearl’s gold-medal-winning United States team at the Maccabiah Games in Israel. He played a key role off the bench, scoring double figures in four of the team’s six games, with a high of 18 points in a win over Russia. “Bryan had just a phenomenal freshman year,” lauds Paulsen. “What some people don’t understand is that in addition to scoring in double figures he was called upon to guard the other team’s best perimeter player. He has had a very good offseason. He had a terrific experience with the Maccabi team playing with and against some high-level players.” Tyree’s return is a big deal for the Bison on a number of fronts. At full speed, he is one of the elite stoppers in the Patriot League, as evidenced by his defensive player of the year award in 2007-08. At 6’3”, he can defend point guards, power forwards, and anyone in between. He averaged almost five rebounds per game as a sophomore, and he was so successful getting the ball to the basket that he shot 57.9 percent from the field (66.7 percent in conference play). “It’s great to have him out there again,” says Paulsen. “I wouldn’t say that he’s 100 percent yet, and I don’t know that he will be 100 percent again, but he is such a competitor. The competitiveness level has been raised to another level with him out there. Even if it’s a 2-on-2 drill during a workout, he wants to win it. His game is not pretty, but very effective. That leadership component that was missing with Stephen on the sideline last year is very apparent now.” Like Tyree, Boon is another versatile player who is hard to label by position. Boon is perhaps best equipped to play on the wing, particularly as his ballhandling skills continue to improve, but he finished last season starting at the power forward spot as Paulsen went to a smaller lineup. At times throughout his first two seasons Boon has provided instant offense for the Bison. Before joining the starting lineup midway through 2008-09 he was leading the Patriot League in points per minute. He scored

in double figures eight times as a reserve, including a 24-point game against Wagner and 20 at Navy. In his first two games as a starter he scored 20 points against Lafayette and 15 against Colgate, leading Bucknell to wins in both games. But he was less consistent after that, scoring in double figures in only two of the team’s final 11 games. Still, he led the team with 53 3-pointers last season and ranked fifth in the league in 3-point percentage (.393). “G.W. had a solid sophomore year,” says Paulsen. “He showed flashes of brilliance. He would come off the bench and score 20 points, followed by games where he wouldn’t score. The next step for him is to become more consistent on a daily basis. He has made significant progress in the offseason in his ability to dribble and drive the basketball. That’s going to bode very well for him because he is such a good shooter. He can make threes in bunches, but now his ability to drive the ball and finish at the rim is going to make him a more complete player.” Freshman Bryson Johnson brings terrific offensive credentials to the Bison lineup, where he figures to play a significant role fairly quickly. A native of Nova Scotia, Johnson prepped at St. David’s Catholic in Ontario, where he was a first team all-provincial selection as a senior. A strong ballhandler and outside shooter, Johnson averaged over 20 points and nearly four 3-pointers per game as a senior. His ability to adapt to the speed of the collegiate game defensively will determine how much he plays as a freshman, but one thing has been clear early in the preseason: Johnson has natural leadership abilities. He has already become one of the team’s most vocal players. “Bryson is a gym rat,” says Paulsen. “He is a natural leader with a very high basketball IQ, and he is a terrific shooter. Those are four nice qualities to have. The pace of the game and the athleticism are the things he’ll have to adjust to.” Senior Matt Fiery and freshman D.J. Rowe are walk-ons who provide good depth in the backcourt. Both players are very competitive and are working hard to increase their own minutes, and at the same time they have a keen

Zach Evans

2009-10 Bucknell Men’s Basketball • 28 • www.BucknellBison.com


2009-10 Season Outlook interest in making their teammates better every day in practice. Fiery is in his third year in the program, while Rowe joins the Bison after scoring over 1,500 points and hitting over 200 3-pointers at Cedar Cliff High School in Harrisburg. “Matt is a great teammate,” Paulsen says. “He works his rear end off every day in practice. He is the epitome of unselfishness and character. He makes us better every day. D.J. is smart, tough, and a very good shooter. He’s going to make us better every day, and he is going to compete to get himself on the floor.” Frontcourt Headlining the Bucknell frontcourt group is senior Patrick Behan, who transformed himself into an All-Patriot Leaguer last season after coach Dave Paulsen decided to go with a smaller starting lineup and moved Behan to center. The switch made excellent use of his unorthodox offensive style, as he was able to use his quickness advantage to spin his way around slower centers. As a result, Behan averaged almost 19 points and nine rebounds over the last 11 games of the season. He had eight 20-point games, including five straight near the end of the year. “Pat had a good season last year, and he was very, very good the last third of the season,” says Paulsen. “It was a combination of him gaining confidence and embracing playing around the basket more. We were a more effective

Enoch Andoh

team with him playing center and going with a predominantly smaller lineup, and he was able to find a way to be effective playing that way. And also it took me awhile to figure him out. He has kind of a funky game. He doesn’t really fit any labels. He has this whirling, spinning way about him, but he puts the ball in the basket. He definitely raised his competitiveness level and his toughness level.” After two seasons of limited action, senior Zach Evans played a prominent role off the bench for the first time last year. He appeared in a career-high 28 games and averaged over 12 minutes per outing. Evans is an energy player who can rebound, defend and toss in an occasional basket. “Zach had some real good moments last year and gave us a spark off the bench,” says Paulsen. “His good moments were in direct proportion to his willingness to buy in to his role. He can really help us as a penetrator, as a rebounder, as a defender, and as a guy who makes timely baskets when it’s appropriate.” Sophomores Enoch Andoh and Probese Leo both got a taste of the college game as rookies last year. Andoh saw the most time of

the three, playing in all 30 games while averaging just over 14 minutes per game. He had his moments, most notably a 13-point, 10-rebound effort in a win over Colgate, and while Andoh had some difficulty with turnovers and finishing at the basket, the early indoctrination should bode well for his future. “Enoch has made very good progress,” Paulsen says. “He came back in August this year in much better physical shape than at this time last year. He looks completely different. His body is toned up and he’s in better shape. His work ethic and his attention to detail are much better. I’m very happy with the strides he’s made.” Bucknell’s recruiting class capably addressed the team’s depth concerns up front. Mike Muscala, Joe Willman and Colin Klebon all appear to have bright futures in Orange & Blue. Muscala is the tallest of the three at 6’10” and will contribute at both the 4 and 5 positions. Muscala can score inside, but he also likes to get out in transition and can shoot the ball from as deep as 3-point range. “Mike is a very skilled frontcourt player” says Paulsen. “He can score with both hands around the basket, he has a real good touch and is a good passer. He can step out and hit a three, and he can really run the floor. The pace and the physicality of the game is going to be the eye-opener for him. How well he adjusts to that will determine how good he is this year. For Mike, I’m sure there are going to be some games where he is going to look unbelievably good, and then some others where he may struggle. That’s part of the maturation process.” Willman was enjoying a prolific senior year at Monmouth (N.J.) Regional High School when it was abruptly cut short in mid-January when he took a spill after a fastbreak dunk, and suffered two broken wrists while trying to brace himself from the fall. He is now fully recovered and anxious to get back on the floor. Willman is a do-it-all type, one of those players who does not stand out in any one area, but who can contribute in many ways. He is an outstanding athlete who loves to get on the glass and do the little things that make teams better. “Joe is kind of a throw-back player,” Paulsen offers. “He’s tough, he’s hard-nosed, he’s competitive. He may not be the biggest guy on our front line and he may not be the quickest, but no one is more competitive. He’s tough, and he just finds a way to get the ball in the basket. He needs to continue to improve in each facet of his game, but I’d be surprised if he doesn’t get himself on the floor in a fairly significant fashion from day one.” After a record-setting career at nearby Southern Columbia High School, Klebon is going through an adjustment period in his initial weeks in a Bucknell uniform. At his best he is a hard-working forward who shoots well, gets to the free-throw line and can defend. “Colin can score around the basket, he can knock down a three and he can score in between,” says Paulsen of Klebon’s game. “He can rebound. He has some good natural ability and has a way of finding the basket. The level of play and the pace of play will be a big adjustment for him. Again, it’s not a matter of ‘if’, but ‘when’ with him. He is going to have to be patient, get a little better every day, and not let expectations get in the way of that process. He’s going to be really good, but he needs to understand it may take some time.”

Evans, Holy Cross, So., G Andrew Keister, Holy Cross, Jr., F Marquis Hall, Lehigh, Sr., G Cleveland Richard, Army, Sr., G  COMINGS & GOINGS: Bucknell’s 2009-10 roster features five newcomers, all freshmen: Bryson Johnson, Colin Klebon, Mike Muscala, D.J. Rowe and Joe Willman. Meanwhile, from last year’s squad, Justin Castleberry, Josh Linthicum and Jason Vegotsky have graduated, while walk-on Ryan Ebner opted not to play basketball this season in order to concentrate on his baseball career.  BEHAN, COHEN HONORED: Last season Patrick Behan earned All-Patriot League honors for the first time. Behan garnered a second-team nod after averaging a career-high 13.8 points and 6.8 rebounds per game. Bryan Cohen also represented the Bison on the Patriot League All-Rookie Team. He led all PL freshmen in minutes played (33.5) and was second in scoring average (11.8). Cohen is Bucknell’s 10th all-rookie selection since joining the Patriot League in 1990-91, and the Bison have now had an all-rookie pick in seven of the last eight years. Dating back to Bucknell’s days in the East Coast Conference, it was just the second year in the last 26 that the Bison did not land at least one first-team all-league selection.  STRONG FINISH FOR BEHAN: Patrick Behan enjoyed his best season yet in 200809, punctuated by a terrific run to end the season.  Behan posted eight 20-point games, the most by a Bucknell player since Kevin Bettencourt had eight in 2003-04. Behan finished the regular season with five straight 20-point games, which was the longest such streak in the Patriot League last season, and the longest by a Bison player since Bryan Bailey finished the 2001-02 regular season with five 20-point games in a row. The school record for consecutive 20point games is six, accomplished by Bob Barry in 1978-79, Greg Leggett in 1989-90 and Chris Simpson in 1993-94. Normally a “4” man, Behan was asked to play quite a bit at the center position in the

Patrick Behan

second half of the season, and over the last 11 games he topped the 20-point plateau six times and had 18 or more points eight times. He averaged 18.9 points and 9.0 rebounds while shooting 53.5% from the field during that stretch.  BEHAN JOINS 400/200 CLUB: Patrick Behan achieved a rarity in 2008-09 when he accumulated 400 points and 200 rebounds in the same season. He finished with 415 points and 205 rebounds to become the 22nd Bison player to accomplish the feat. The last Bucknell player to do that was Charles Lee (412/210) in 2004-05. Lehigh’s Zahir Carrington was the only other Patriot League player to do it last season.  COHEN ON FROSH SCORING CHART: Bryan Cohen scored 353 points last season, the fourth-highest total ever by a Bucknell freshman. Only Gerald Purnell (467 in 1974-75), Bob Barry (441 in 1976-77) and Al Leslie (367 in 1977-78) scored more as freshmen.  BISON LEAD LEAGUE IN ATTENDANCE: Despite its record, Bucknell led the Patriot League in home attendance in 2008-09, earning its fourth straight PL attendance title. The Bison drew an average of 2,509 fans to Sojka Pavilion last season.

 3-POINT TRIO: For the first time ever, Bucknell had three players with 50 or more 3-point field goals last season. G.W. Boon had a team-high 53 3-pointers, followed by Bryan Cohen with 51 and Justin Castleberry with 50. Only two other Bucknell teams had three players connect on at least 40 treys: the 1990-91 team with Keith Fenton (60), Mike Bright (50) and Bill Courtney (41); and the 2004-05 team with Kevin Bettencourt (78), John Griffin (47) and Charles Lee (46). Last year’s squad nearly had four players with 40 threes, but Darryl Shazier just missed with 37.  40 NOT ENOUGH: Last season Bucknell broke the program record for most overtime games (6) and overtime periods (8) in a season. The Bison went 2-4 in those OT contests. Some other overtime nuggets from last season:  The official results said that Bucknell played 30 games last season. But a closer look reveals that the Bison played a total of eight overtime periods. That adds up to an extra 40 minutes of action, or the equivalent of one extra game. Never before in its 114-year history had Bucknell played three consecutive overtime games until it did so early last season against Boston University, Saint Francis (Pa.) and Old Dominion.

Darryl Shazier

Had the Bison rallied to force overtime against Wagner, they would have tied the national record. Jacksonville (1982), Illinois State (1985) and Dayton (1988) all played four straight overtime games to share the NCAA mark.  20-20-20-20-20 VISION: Bucknell had five different players score 20 points in a game last season, the first time that has happened since 1994-95. Darryl Shazier, Bryan Cohen, Justin Castleberry, Patrick Behan and G.W. Boon all topped 20 at least once (all but Shazier did it multiple times). In 1994-95, Brian Anderson, Kihlon Golden, Sekou Hamer, Dave Steigerwald and Kevin Wenk all registered 20point games.  SHAZIER HAS FLAIR FOR DRAMATIC: Point guard Darryl Shazier is only half way through his Bucknell career, but he has already won or tied three games in the waning seconds with dramatic 3-pointers. Two of those shots have come against Colgate. During his freshman season at Colgate, Shazier hit a hanging, game-tying 3-pointer with a defender draped all over him as the final buzzer of regulation sounded. That sent the contest to overtime, where the Bison eventually won 91-85. Shazier’s big shot was just his second field goal of the night. Just two weeks after he hit the tying shot against Colgate, Shazier hit another game-tying trey with 13 seconds left to force overtime against the Lafayette at Sojka Pavilion. Again the Bison won in OT, 77-75. That was Shazier’s only field goal of the game. On Jan. 24, 2009 against Colgate at Sojka Pavilion, Shazier hit a right-corner 3-pointer with 0:02 left in overtime to defeat Colgate 64-62. That was Shazier’s only field goal of the night.  SHAZIER THE FIRST BISON TO LEAD PATRIOT LEAGUE IN ASSISTS: Last season Darryl Shazier became the first Bucknell player to win a Patriot League assists title. He averaged 4.60 per game, just ahead of American’s Derrick Mercer (4.38). Shazier was also the only player

in the league (among those with 3.0 or more assists per game) with at least twice as many assists as turnovers. He led the PL in assist-toturnover ratio (2.06).  WELCOME BACK, STEPHEN: Bucknell suffered a major blow last season when junior Stephen Tyree suffered a season-ending knee injury in a September intrasquad pick-up game in Sojka Pavilion. Tyree was developing into one of the Patriot League’s best young players, and in fact he won the PL Defensive Player of the Year Award as a sophomore. Tyree led the Bison in assists (2.8), rebounds (4.8) and field-goal percentage (.579) in 2007-08, and he averaged 7.0 points per game (9.8 in league play). Tyree is expected to be back in the lineup in 2009-10.  BINGO!: The NCAA instituted the 3-point shot in 1986-87, and since then Bucknell has played 677 games. The Bison have failed to make at least one 3-pointer in only five of those 677 games (1/30/89 at Cornell, 1/16/93 vs. Lafayette, 2/5/00 at Navy, 12/22/00 at Penn State and 2/29/04 at Colgate). Bucknell has converted a trifecta in 158 straight games entering the 2009-10 season.

 SUB-.500 PL RECORD A RARITY: Only four times in 19 Patriot League seasons have the Bison finished under .500 in the league. The Bison went through a 38-4 stretch in league play from 2005-07, and they are 166-86 in Patriot League regular-season games, the best record of any league team. Season Rec. Pct. Reg. Ssn.

The Bison have reached the championship game six times, including wins in 2005 and 2006, and reached at least the semifinals in 15 of 19 years.

DAVE Paulsen on Andoh: “Enoch has made tremendous strides since the end of his freshman season. Last year I don’t quite think he had a grasp of what he was in for, which is typical of many freshmen. It would not have been as drastic, but we were in a situation where we had to play him minutes before he was ready. He is responding to the challenge that is being posed by some pretty talented freshmen, and I look for him to have a strong year.”

DAVE Paulsen on BEHAN: “I was pleased with what Pat did the last third of the season, and I am very pleased with what he has done from that point until now. He has worked very hard. He has completely bought into his role and what we are trying to do, and he has become much more of a leader. He has worked hard on his body. I think he’s ready to have a really good senior year.”

DAVE Paulsen on BOON: “We are really trying to get G.W. to embrace the notion that it’s OK to be ‘the guy’ in a particular game or for a particular stretch of a game if that’s what your team needs. He’s such a humble kid, almost to a fault at times. He needs to embrace the spotlight in a humble fashion. If he can relish that opportunity, he can be a star.”

DAVE Paulsen on COHEN: “Bryan simply had a tremendous freshman year, when you consider all of the minutes he played and all of the things that we asked him to do. I think he has a little bit of a swagger now — in a humble way — and he realizes that he can be a special player. He wants to be a special player and he’s really working at it. I’ve been really pleased with his progress.”

Dave Paulsen on Evans: “Zach is a very good competitor. When practices really get competitive he is in the middle of it, and he has a little bit of a nasty streak to him, in a good way, in a positive way. He ups the competitive level in practice. In games, he is an ‘energy’ guy for us. He can come in and rebound, defend, block a shot.”

DAVE Paulsen on LEO: “Probese’s knowledge of the game has improved and he has showed flashes of being able to be a productive player, but he needs to understand the intensity and the work ethic and the conditioning level that is required to play Division I basketball. He hasn’t gotten there yet, but we are optimistic that he will.”

DAVE Paulsen on SHAZIER: “Darryl had a good sophomore year, leading the league in assists. He shot the ball pretty well from 3-point line. He played tons of minutes. He tried exceptionally hard to understand what we wanted and how to go about doing it. His productivity was good and his effort was very good. I think the areas that we have identified where he needs improvement he is working hard on. I’m very happy with his progress.”

DAVE Paulsen on TYREE: “Stephen’s basketball IQ is very high. That was apparent to me last year when he would be at practice or a film session, unable to play because of his injury, and he was one of the guys who could point out what we were doing well or not well, or what the opponents were about to do. He saw things that others didn’t. He’s a natural leader, he gives us a presence more than anything. He’s made significant progress, and it’s great to have him back on the floor.”

The Coaching Staff


Head Coach Dave Paulsen

Dave Paulsen, a two-time National Coach of the Year who led Williams College to the 2003 Division III national championship, was named the head men’s basketball coach at Bucknell on May 20, 2008, and he enters his second season on the Bison bench in 2009-10. Paulsen, a 1987 Williams graduate and a Phi Beta Kappa scholar, has coached at every level of college basketball over the last two decades, has won 65 percent of his games as a head coach, and is considered a highly sought-after consultant on the principles of the motion offense. Paulsen, 45, came to Bucknell as its 20th head basketball coach after leading Williams to the top of the Division III ranks. In eight years at Williams, he guided the Ephs to a 170-53 (.762) record, including a combined 61-3 mark in 2002-03 and 2003-04. His team captured the 2003 national championship and was the national runner-up in 2004. The National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC) Coach of the Year in both 2003 and 2004, Paulsen’s teams won three NESCAC championships (2003, 2004, 2007) and made four NCAA Tournament appearances (2002, 2003, 2004, 2007). He was a three-time NESCAC Coach of the Year and two-time New England Coach of the Year. “Bucknell men’s basketball has established a superb record of winning on the court with outstanding young men who are dedicated scholar-athletes,” said Bucknell president Brian C. Mitchell at the time of Paulsen’s hiring. “Coach Paulsen is precisely

the first-class leader we sought for this exceptional program. He knows what it is like to recruit the best student-athletes, to prepare them for success on the national level, and to bring honor and credit to the university in doing so. We are proud to welcome Coach Paulsen into the Bison coaching staff, and look forward to the tremendous successes ahead of him.” “At the end of a comprehensive national search, it is clear that Dave Paulsen is the coach who can build upon Bucknell’s winning tradition in the men’s basketball program,” said director of athletics John Hardt in announcing Paulsen’s hiring. “Coach Paulsen has recruited successfully at the Division I level, and he has built a championship program at an academically minded liberal arts institution. Perhaps more impressive than his won-loss ledger is his track record in developing quality student-athletes who represent their school and their community with pride. During the search process, it did not take long to understand just how well-respected Coach Paulsen is across the coaching profession, both as a colleague and as a basketball strategist. I am very excited to welcome Dave and his family to Bucknell. We are eager to facilitate his successful transition and to him beginning his work with the Bison program.” Prior to his tenure at Williams, Paulsen served as head coach at Le Moyne from 19972000 and at St. Lawrence from 1994-97. He compiled a three-year record of 42-39 at Le Moyne, while also serving as the school’s director of NCAA compliance. At St. Lawrence, he posted a 50-28 record in three seasons, including the 1995-96 and 1996-97 campaigns in which the Saints made back-to-back NCAA Tournament appearances, and he was twice named the Upstate Collegiate Athletic Association Coach of the Year. In 14 years as a head coach at Williams, Le Moyne and St. Lawrence, Paulsen produced a record of 262-120 (.680). In 1989-90, Paulsen served as the graduate assistant coach on Steve Fisher’s staff at Michigan while completing his master’s degree in history. Paulsen was part of a Wolverines program that went 23-8 and advanced to the second round of the NCAA Tournament, and he had

the opportunity to coach six players who would later become NBA draft picks. From 1990-94, Paulsen was the senior assistant coach and recruiting coordinator at Cleveland State, helping the Vikings to a 64-50 record in four seasons, including a 22-6 record (15-1 Mid-Continent Conference) in 1992-93. Paulsen graduated from Williams cum laude with departmental honors in history. He was also a member of the Ephs’ varsity basketball team. In 1987, his squad captured the ECAC New England Division III championship. Upon his return to Williams as head coach, Paulsen also served as an assistant professor of physical education, which is fitting since he is widely regarded as one of college basketball’s most accomplished teachers. Known as an offensive innovator, Paulsen has produced four acclaimed instructional videos, entitled “Ten Offensive Principles for the Adaptable Motion Offense,” “Motion Offense for Beginners,” “Developing Explosive Perimeter Players,” and “Principles of Effective Post Play.” Paulsen has been a featured clinician at more than 50 developmental camps and coaches conventions throughout the nation, including the prestigious Nike Championship Basketball Clinics. He was even asked to participate in a pair of clinics in Portugal. “I am very excited about the opportunity to carry on the tradition of success that has been built at Bucknell through the years,” said Paulsen. “Bucknell has distinguished itself among a very small group of schools that have been able to win games in the NCAA Tournament and yet hold true to the ideal of the scholar-athlete.” Paulsen and his wife, Kathy, have three daughters: Claire (14), Sara (10) and Molly (7).

At Rider, Fischer coached NBA lottery pick Jason Thompson, who was the top senior taken in the 2008 Draft. Thompson was picked 12th overall by the Sacramento Kings.

Keppler coordinates the work of six professional staff members, a graduate assistant, an intern and a dedicated group of student assistants. The head trainer at Carnegie Mellon University for 11 years before coming to Bucknell, Keppler is a member of the National Athletic Trainers Association and is both state- and nationallycertified. From 1982-84 he served as president of the Pennsylvania Athletic Training Society, and from 1984-97 he served with the Athletic Training Advisory Commission to the State Board of Physical Therapy. He is currently the Convention Chair for PATS and was inducted into that organization’s Hall of Fame in June 2006. Keppler is a 1973 graduate of Florida State University and holds a master’s degree from the University of Pittsburgh. After working with the football program for his first three years at Bucknell, Keppler moved to the fieldhouse training room to coordinate the athletic training office for the entire athletic department.

The philosophy of the Bucknell sports medicine team is a commitment to providing the best care for Bison student-athletes. Its injury and rehab protocols are developed to help decrease athletics-related injuries, increase injury recovery time, and combine strength and flexibility, endurance and sport-specific functional activities. Every injured Bucknell student-athlete is attended by an athletic trainer at the time the injury occurs. Each of Bucknell’s professional staff trainers are state and nationally certified, and they are assisted on-site by a quality team of student athletic trainers. The care for all Bucknell students ultimately falls under the direction of Dr. Donald Stechschulte, the director of the University’s student health service. Athletes sustaining serious injuries requiring immediate attention in a hospital setting are sent to the emergency room of the Evangelical Community Hospital, located just two miles from the Bucknell campus.

PARTNERSHIP WITH GEISINGER SPORTS MEDICINE In August 2005, Bucknell director of athletics and recreation John Hardt and Geisinger chief of sports medicine Daniel Feldmann, MD, announced a partnership that makes Geisinger Sports Medicine the exclusive sports medicine provider for Bucknell University Athletics. Geisinger’s team of orthopaedic specialists, certified in a wide array of specialties, is responsible for the care and treatment of more than 700 Division I student-athletes participating in varsity athletics at Bucknell. Geisinger Health System is an integrated, physician-led healthcare services organization that serves more than two million residents throughout central and northeastern Pennsylvania. It includes a 650-member multi-specialty physician practice, a tertiary/quaternary medical center and an acutecare community hospital, adult and pediatric trauma centers, a nationally acclaimed alcohol and chemical dependency treatment center, heart and cancer institutes, a neurosciences program, two research centers, 41 community practice offices and one of the largest not-for-profit rural HMOs in the country. In addition to meeting the on-campus needs of the Jason Taylor Andrei Tarsici Mark Keppler Tiffany Thompson Allen Mardis Bucknell student-athletes, Geisinger has just opened Assistant Athletic Assistant Athletic Asst.

Community & Alumni Relations

Bison Give Back to the Lewisburg Community Head coach Dave Paulsen believes very strongly in giving back to the local community that has shown so much support to the Bison basketball program throughout the years. In each of his first two seasons at Bucknell, Paulsen and his team conducted a free instructional clinic and autograph session that was very well attended by local youths. In addition, team members visited two local elementary schools to participate in the Dream to Read program, where players read books with youngsters in their classrooms, and the team visited a local soup kitchen to serve meals to needy families. In recent years the team has made it a tradition to pay a Halloween visit to the Janet Weis Children’s Hospital at the Geisinger Medical Center in Danville, Pa., each fall. The coaching staff and a host of Bison players make the trip to the hospital to lift the spirits of the children they spend time with. For the student-athletes, the experience is both eye-opening and gratifying. On Jan. 9. 2010, the Bison will host the Sixth Annual Dirk Sojka Slam Dunk with Bison Basketball, with proceeds benefitting Suncom Industries, where persons with disabilities learn to reach their full potential. Suncom was the workplace of Dirk Sojka, son of Gary and Sandy Sojka, until Dirk’s passing in July 2002. Paulsen and his staff also place great emphasis on alumni relations, keeping former Bison players in the Bucknell Basketball family. The annual golf tournament is one of several events geared toward alums and supporters of the program. This past summer, more than 100 golfers participated in the event. The annual Alumni Game will be held on Jan. 30, 2010.

In its second decade of combining academic and athletic excellence, the Patriot League sponsors championships in 23 men’s and women’s sports. Initially started as an NCAA Division I-AA football conference in 1986, the Patriot League became an all-sport conference in 1990 and includes American, Army, Bucknell, Colgate, Holy Cross, Lafayette, Lehigh and Navy as full members, and Fordham and Georgetown as associate members. These institutions are among the oldest and most prestigious in the nation and their alumni have, and continue to play leadership roles in shaping our country. Since 1998, the Patriot League has ranked first each year among all Division I conferences awarding athletic aid in the NCAA Graduation Rate Report. The League finished in the top spot with 96 percent of its teams reporting a graduation rate of 85 percent or higher. In addition, 76 Patriot League teams earned NCAA Public Recognition Awards after posting Academic Progress Rate (APR) scores in the top 10 percent of all squads in their respective sports. The Patriot League’s mission is simple, to provide successful competitive athletic experiences while maintaining high academic standards, and to prepare its student-athletes to be leaders in society.

The Presidents’ Cup The Presidents’ Cup signifies overall excellence in the 23 sports sponsored by the Patriot League, and Bucknell has won the Cup 15 times in its 19-year existence, including 11 of the last 12 years. The Presidents’ Cup is awarded annually to the institution that accumulates the highest point total over the entire academic year, with points awarded on the basis of the school’s finish in each of the 23 Patriot League sports. If there is a league tournament in a sport, the points are awarded based on the average of the regular season and tournament finish, and if there is no post-season tournament, points are awarded based on regular-season standings.

Landon Milbourne scored 16 points to help Maryland to an 81-52 victory over Bucknell in the season openers for both teams, spoiling the Bison coaching debut of Dave Paulsen. Greivis Vasquez added 13 points, six rebounds and six assists for the Terrapins, who had four players in double figures. Patrick Behan led the Bison with 12 points and a career-high nine rebounds, while freshman Bryan Cohen had a nice debut with nine points, three rebounds and two steals. Bucknell did a lot well but struggled to get shots to drop all night. They did hold Maryland to 42.9 percent shooting and held their own on the glass, getting outrebounded only 48-45.

For the second time in four days the Bucknell men’s basketball team fell in overtime, this time by a 69-59 margin at Saint Francis (Pa.). Freshman Bryan Cohen scored a career-high 22 points, but the Red Flash outscored the Bison 34-9 from the free-throw line, including a 19-for-22 showing from the line in overtime. Bucknell rallied from a 10-point second-half deficit to force overtime, but four missed free throws in the final five minutes may have prevented a winning result. The Bison were 9-for-17 from the line, while Saint Francis was 34-for-39. Mislav Jukic scored 19 points on 8-for-10 shooting to lead Saint Francis. Jukic had seven big points and a steal in the overtime period. Devin Sweetney added 15 points and 10 rebounds, while Cale Nelson added 14, all from the free-throw line. Bucknell’s early season offensive struggles continued, as the Bison shot only 33.3 percent.

boston university 71, bucknell 68 (OT) sojka pavilion lewisburg, pa. • nov. 18, 2008

It was a tale of two halves for Bucknell in its home opener against Boston University. The Bison were unconscious from long range in building up a 16-point first-half lead, but they were equally cold in the second half and fell 71-68 in overtime before 3,022 at Sojka Pavilion. Justin Castleberry scored a team-high 17 points, but typical of Bucknell’s night they all came in the opening half. The Bison made 3-pointers on five consecutive possessions, spanning just 2:36, and went 7 of 11 from long range in the opening half. After shooting 51.6 percent from the floor en route to a 43-31 halftime lead, Bucknell made just 4 of 24 shots (1 of 9 from 3-point distance) and scored only 16 points in the second half. Bryan Cohen and Enoch Andoh both scored 10 points to reach double figures for the first time, while junior Zach Evans was a spark off the bench, producing nine points and eight rebounds in 30 minutes, all career highs. For the Terriers, Corey Lowe atoned for missing the front end of a 1-and-1 in a tie game with 1.7 seconds left in regulation by hitting the go-ahead runner in the lane with 40 seconds left in overtime.

Wagner 83, bucknell 79 sojka pavilion lewisburg, pa. • Nov. 29, 2008

Bucknell was not having much luck in overtime this season, so against Old Dominion the Bison tried their hand at double-overtime. This time it worked out, as Justin Castleberry scored a career-high 31 points, including an acrobatic go-ahead layup with 15 seconds to play in a wild 83-82 victory at Sojka Pavilion. The first Bucknell victory for new head coach Dave Paulsen came on the heels of back-to-back overtime losses to Boston University and Saint Francis (Pa.). The Bison played a third straight overtime contest for the first time in school history. Point guard Darryl Shazier, a Newport News, Va., native who had played AAU ball with four Old Dominion players, just missed Bucknell’s first-ever triple-double. Shazier finished with 14 points, nine rebounds and nine assists — all career highs. Patrick Behan chipped in 16 points and eight rebounds and Bryan Cohen added 21 points and nine boards for the Bison, who avenged a 10-point loss to the Monarchs in the previous season’s BracketBusters matchup.

Career nights from Patrick Behan and G.W. Boon were not enough for Bucknell, whose second-half rally fell just short in an 83-79 loss to Wagner at Sojka Pavilion. Behan scored 27 points and Boon added 24 for the Bison, who cut a 17-point deficit down to two in the final minute, only to fall to 1-4 on the season. Joey Mundweiler hit six 3-pointers and scored 19 points to lead Wagner, which won its fourth straight game to get to 4-1 on the season. Four of those 3-pointers came at critical junctures in the second half to help stymie Bucknell’s rally. Darryl Shazier scored 14 points, equaling his career high from the Old Dominion game. Behan scored 18 of his 27 in the first half. Boon hit four second-half 3-pointers, including treys on three straight possessions to kick-start Bucknell’s comeback. But despite the personal-best scoring nights from Shazier, Behan and Boon and a 48-point second half, the Bison struggled defensively for most of the night. The 83 points allowed were their most ever in a regulation-time game at Sojka Pavilion.

La SALLE 68, BUCknell 65 Tom gola arena philadelphia, pa. • dec. 2, 2008

Kimmani Barrett scored 15 points and La Salle outscored Bucknell 18-2 over a six-minute span in the second half in a 68-65 win over the Bison at Tom Gola Arena. Justin Castleberry scored 20 points, G.W. Boon had 14 and Patrick Behan 10 and nine rebounds for the Bison, who made a valiant comeback attempt from 16 down in the second half but came up just short. Darryl Shazier, the Patriot League assists leader at 6.0 per game coming in, added nine more with only one turnover, but the Bison were outrebounded 51-37 and outscored 13-5 from the foul line as La Salle was whistled for only seven fouls all night. A short leaner by Behan and Josh Linthicum’s layup off a drive and dish from Castleberry gave the Bison a 35-32 lead, flipping around their three-point halftime deficit. But Jarrell Williams hit a tying three at the other end, igniting a game-changing 18-2 La Salle run.

Jeff Teague scored 26 points to lead No. 15 Wake Forest to an 81-52 victory over Bucknell at Joel Coliseum. Darryl Shazier led a balanced Bucknell scoring attack with 12 points, connecting on a career-high four 3-pointers. The Bison trailed by 14 at the half, but pulled within seven with a 7-0 run to start the second period. After a Cohen steal on the first possession of the half, Shazier canned his fourth 3-pointer of the game. Josh Linthicum then grabbed a weak-side offensive rebound and put it back in, and Cohen hit a 16-foot jumper to make it 36-29. Wake Forest answered with a 7-0 run of its own, however, keyed by five straight points from Williams, and the Demon Deacons led by double digits the rest of the way.

Patrick Behan scored 22 points and Justin Castleberry tallied all 20 of his in Bucknell’s Sojka Pavilion-record 54-point second half, leading the Bison to an 81-75 victory over visiting Drexel in a close, physical affair. Bryan Cohen added 16 points for the Bison, who trailed by 11 early in the second half before rallying for its second consecutive victory. Coming off an 11-day layoff for final exams, Bucknell struggled at the start, shooting 34.8 percent in the first half while allowing the Dragons to shoot 54.2 percent, and the Bison trailed 35-27 at intermission. But things turned around for the home team after the break thanks to great 3-point shooting (5-7), 17 points from the foul line and a newly unveiled 1-3-1 zone defense that forced Drexel into 34.1 percent shooting in the second half. Scott Rodgers scored 24 points and Gerald Colds added 21 for Drexel, which defeated Bucknell 65-53 in Philadelphia the previous season.

bucknell 63, binghamton 60 sojka pavilion lewisburg, pa. • dec. 9, 2008

Bryan Cohen had 16 points and six rebounds, but it was his defensive play on Binghamton scoring whiz D.J. Rivera in the game’s waning seconds that punctuated Bucknell’s 63-60 victory. The Bison forced eventual AmericaEast champion Binghamton into 0-for-16 shooting from 3-point range and snapped a three-game losing streak heading into an 11-day layoff for final exams. Patrick Behan added 15 points, six rebounds and three assists, and G.W. Boon pitched in nine points and a career-high nine rebounds for the Bison, who never trailed in the game and led for the final 35:03 of the game, despite some nervous moments at the end of both halves. The Bearcats, who came in with a three-game winning streak that included a 10-point road win over Rutgers, were led by Rivera’s 21 points, one more than his America Eastleading average. Down one in the final seconds, the Bearcats went to their best player, Rivera, who tried to drive down the left side of the lane. He pulled up and tried to lean into Cohen, who got a piece of his well-contested shot. The ball went out of bounds off a Binghamton player, and the Bearcats fouled Cohen on the inbounds. Cohen made two free throws to ice it.

mARIST 89, bucknell 63 mccANN CENTER POUGHKEEPSIE, N.Y. • dec. 28, 2008

Ryan Schneider hit 13 of 19 shots and had 29 points, nine rebounds and five steals to lead Marist to a runaway 89-63 victory over Bucknell at the McCann Center. G.W. Boon led the Bison with 14 and Bryan Cohen added 11, but a 33-7 run in the middle part of the game was too much to overcome. Dejaun Goodwin scored 16 points and Javon Parris added 15 for the Red Foxes, who made 34 of 68 shots and became the first team all season to shoot 50 percent from the floor against Bucknell. Marist put on quite a shooting display, led by Schneider. The Red Foxes hit 9 of 19 3-point shots (6 of 11 in the second half) and made a number of long jumpers just inside the arc.

Down by 18 early and by 14 at the half, Bucknell staged a spirited second-half rally, only to go home frustrated after letting some late chances get away in a 90-82 double-overtime loss to St. Bonaventure. Justin Castleberry scored a game-high 23 points and Bryan Cohen added 19, but the Bison fell after having chances to win at the end of regulation and the first overtime. St. Bonaventure got 22 points, eight rebounds and nine blocked shots from freshman center Andrew Nicholson along with 18 points from Chris Matthews, 17 from Jonathan Hall and 16 from Ray Blackburn. The Bison made only 6 of 27 (.222) first-half shots, fell behind 31-13 16:11 into the game and 34-20 at the half. But they hit 7 of 12 3-pointers after halftime and came all the way back, even taking the lead in the final minute.

CORNELL 75, BUCKNELL 64 NEWMAN ARENA ITHACA, n.y. • jan. 6, 2009

Bryan Cohen (20 points) and G.W. Boon (15 points) tried to shoot Bucknell back in the game after falling behind by 22 points, but in the end the hole was just too big and Cornell prevailed 75-64 at Newman Arena. The Bison pulled within six in the final minute, but the Ivy League champions made enough free throws down the stretch to win their 14th straight home game. Louis Dale scored 20 points and leading scorer Ryan Wittman scored 14 of his 17 in the second half for Cornell, which snapped a five-game losing streak to Bucknell. Center Jeff Foote, after going 0-for-5 in the first half, finished with 12 points, nine rebounds and five blocks. The Bison had the ball down seven with 23 seconds left when they were whistled for a moving screen. Zach Evans stole the inbounds pass but double dribbled, and Cornell iced it at the free-throw line.

Kaleo Kina scored 25 points and hit one of Navy’s three critical 3-pointers down the stretch, leading the Midshipmen to a 71-67 victory over Bucknell in the Patriot League openers for both teams. G.W. Boon scored 20 points and Darryl Shazier had a career-high 18 points along with seven assists for the Bison. The Midshipmen were an uncharacteristic 3-for-22 from 3-point range in the first 36-plus minutes of the game and had missed 11 straight, but they canned three in a row — two from Adam Teague and one from Kina — in the final 3:16, each one stretching a one or two point game to two possessions. The blazing hot left hand of Boon and a layup by Shazier helped Bucknell cut a nine-point deficit at the 5:49 mark to just one with 3:47 left. After a defensive stop, Bucknell had a chance to take the lead, but Shazier missed a 17-foot jumper, and Teague hit a transition 3-pointer from the right side to extend the lead back to four.

Garrison Carr scored 25 points, 12 coming at the free-throw line in the second half, leading American to a 69-55 victory over the Bison at Bender Arena. Justin Castleberry tallied 15 points and G.W. Boon and Bryan Cohen had 14 each for the Bison, who endured a cold shooting night en route to their seventh straight loss. Darryl Shazier handed out eight assists, Patrick Behan had 10 rebounds and Boon had nine boards for the Bison, who finished with a 48-37 rebounding advantage but could not overcome a 28.8 percent shooting night. Jordan Nichols scored 10 points and Derrick Mercer had seven points and 12 assists for American, which won its fifth in a row. American opened up its first double-digit lead at the 7:24 mark of the first half when Bryce Simon hit a 3-pointer that hit the rim and the top edge of the backboard before falling in. That capped a 10-2 run and gave the Eagles a 24-14 lead.

holy cross 68, BUCKNELL 56 SOJKA PAVILION LEWISBURG, PA. • jan. 17, 2009

Andrew Keister tallied 18 points and 10 rebounds and Holy Cross used a dominant effort on the boards and good free-throw shooting to outlast Bucknell 68-56 before 3,490 fans at Sojka Pavilion. Patrick Behan scored 12 points and G.W. Boon and Jason Vegotsky had 11 each off the bench for the Bison. Holy Cross received a big lift off the bench from seniors Pat Doherty and Alex Vander Baan. Doherty had 18 points, seven assists, five rebounds and three steals, and he went 13-for-14 from the free-throw line, many of them coming in the final minutes of a close game. Vander Baan had 11 points in 11 minutes and hit the biggest shot of the day for the Crusaders, a contested 3-pointer with 4:47 to play just after Bucknell had climbed all the way back within three points after trailing by as many as 20 early in the second half.

Bucknell also got a huge lift from freshman Ryan Ebner off the bench. Ebner, who ceded his spot in the starting lineup to Boon, had six points, four rebounds, an assist and a blocked shot in 14 minutes.

Darryl Shazier’s only bucket of the game was a 3-pointer with 2.8 seconds remaining in overtime, lifting Bucknell to a wild 64-62 victory over Colgate at Sojka Pavilion. G.W. Boon scored a team-high 15 points and had a key 3-pointer and a blocked shot in the final minute of the game. Yaw Gyawu led Colgate with 18 points, while Alex Woodhouse had 11 points, eight rebounds and six blocks. Bucknell got big lifts from three of its rookies. Brian Cohen scored 14 points, Enoch Andoh set career highs with 13 points and 10 rebounds in his best game in a Bison uniform, and Ryan Ebner had two points, three rebounds, a blocked shot and the assist on Shazier’s winning basket. Shazier’s dramatic shot followed a frantic loose-ball scramble as the final seconds melted away. With Bucknell down a point, Boon tried to drive the lane but his shot was blocked by Woodhouse. The rebound ultimately squirted into the hands of Cohen, standing at the free-throw line with his back to the basket. Cohen passed out to Ebner, who found Shazier in the right corner. The lefty point guard swished a contested jumper to win it.

Marquis Hall hit a shot in the lane with one second remaining in the game to give Lehigh a come-from-behind 61-59 victory over Bucknell at Stabler Arena. The Mountain Hawks rallied from 10 down in the second half to stun the Bison and keep them winless on the road this season. Justin Castleberry and Patrick Behan scored 18 points each for the Bison, while Bryan Cohen had 10 points and Darryl Shazier added five points and seven assists. Hall tallied 16 points for Lehigh, while Zahir Carrington had 13 points and 11 assists. Bucknell got off to a great start in this one, taking a nine-point halftime lead and stretching it to 10 early in the second half. But the Bison hit a cold spell, managing only a pair of free throws over a seven-minute span, and Lehigh climbed back in it. Cohen swished a tying 3-pointer with 19 seconds left. Lehigh called timeout and called Hall’s number. The point guard drove into traffic and flipped up a hanging shot that hit the rim twice before dropping in with one second to play.

Cleveland Richard scored a career-high 28 points, 20 of them coming in the second half, to lead Army to a 76-65 victory over Bucknell at Christl Arena. The Bison got a career-high 21 from Darryl Shazier, 15 from Justin Castleberry and 12 from Patrick Behan. The Black Knights broke open a close game with a 10-0 run late in the first half and led by as many as 16 in the second before Bucknell mounted a comeback. The Bison drew within four, but precise foul shooting down the stretch by Army stifled the rally. A key sequence in the second half came about five minutes in, when Richard’s five-point possession stretched Army’s eight-point lead to 13. Casteberry was called for an intentional foul on Richard’s layup attempt and he hit both free throws. After the inbounds, Richard hit a 3-pointer from the top of the key to give the Black Knights a 43-30 lead.

Anthony Hill scored 14 points and Alex Woodhouse had 13 points, eight rebounds and five blocked shots to help Colgate dig out of an early hole and defeat visiting Bucknell 68-57 at Cotterell Court. Patrick Behan tallied 18 points and seven rebounds, but the Bison were outrebounded 42-29 and dropped their third in row. Bucknell also received 13 points from Justin Castleberry and 11 from Bryan Cohen. Bucknell jumped out to a great start in this one, with Behan and Castleberry combining for 11 points in a gameopening 17-4 run. The Bison held Colgate to one field goal in the first 9:47 of the contest, with Behan’s leaner from the left side of the key giving the visitors a 13-point lead. But the cushion evaporated in the middle part of the half, as Bucknell went 4:44 with only one field-goal attempt, which was blocked, and six turnovers. That led to a 17-2 Colgate run.

navy 62, bucknell 60 (OT) sojka pavilion lewisburg, pa. • feb. 7, 2009

Patrick Behan logged 20 points and a career-high 14 rebounds, but it wasn’t enough as the Bucknell men’s basketball team fell to Navy 62-60 in the Bison’s school-record sixth overtime game of the year. Bucknell battled from start to finish and overcame a 12-point second-half deficit, but it just could not buy a bucket in several key stretches. Kaleo Kina led Navy with 17 points, 10 rebounds and seven assists, but Bucknell freshman Bryan Cohen made him work hard for his points. Kina was 4-for-19 from the floor and 1-for-10 from 3-point range, but he went 8-for-13 from the free-throw line. It was a tense defensive struggle all the way, as both teams shot under 32 percent on the night. Cohen and G.W. Boon hit back-to-back 3-pointers midway through the first half to give the Bison an 18-10 lead, but those would be the team’s only two treys of the night. In addition to 2-for-17 shooting from long range, Bucknell had a number of shots in close roll off the rim.

Another chapter in Bucknell’s season of frustration was written at Sojka Pavilion, as the Bison dropped a 52-50 decision to first-place American. Bucknell battled back from a 10-point second-half deficit but could not get the lead, and Darryl Shazier’s potential game-winning 3-pointer caromed off the front iron as time expired. Bryan Cohen and Patrick Behan scored 13 points apiece and Justin Castleberry added 12 for the Bison. With the exception of one stretch at the end of the first half, Bucknell was strong defensively all night. The Bison forced the Patriot League’s most accurate 3-point shooting team into a 4-for-18 night at the arc, and with the freshman Cohen matched up on sharpshooter Garrison Carr, Bucknell held him to 13 points (more than four below his average) on 6-for-15 shooting, 1-for-6 from 3-point range. The Bison could not take advantage of its good defense, however, as it shot only 30.0 percent from the floor on the night, with many of the misses coming on mid-range open looks.

bucknell 72, holy cross 66 hart center worcester, mass. • feb. 14, 2009

Patrick Behan led four Bucknell players in double figures with 23 points and eight rebounds, and the Bison knocked off Patriot League co-leader Holy Cross 72-66 at the Hart Center. Darryl Shazier added 17 points, G.W. Boon had 16 and Bryan Cohen 11 for the Bison, who snapped a 14-game road losing streak dating back to the previous season. The Bison came into the game riding a five-game losing streak, while Holy Cross had won five in a row, but Bucknell turned in a poised effort against a physical team in front of a nearsellout crowd on the road. With Shazier hitting five 3-pointers and Boon four, Bucknell made 9 of 18 treys and shot 45.8 percent overall. The Bison were also terrific from the free-throw stripe, where they made 19 of 23. Behan was 9-for-9 at the line in the last six minutes of the game before missing two with three seconds left in the game. Down 32-30 at the half, Bucknell roared out of the locker room with 14 straight points to open the second stanza. The last dozen of those points came from the 3-point arc, where Shazier hit his fourth of the day and Boon stroked three in a row.

Ryan Willen scored a career-high 20 points and Michael Gruner and Andrew Brown added 16 each to lead Lafayette to 71-68 victory over Bucknell on at Kirby Sports Center. Patrick Behan had 20 points and nine rebounds, but the Bison came out of the gates slowly and could not build on the big win at Holy Cross in its previous outing. Justin Castleberry hit for 16 points, Bryan Cohen added 15 and Darryl Shazier 10 for Bucknell, but it wasn’t enough to prevent the Bison from dropping a 20th game for just the second time in school history. Lafayette snapped an eight-game losing streak and avenged a 10-point loss to Bucknell earlier in the year. On the heels of one of its best shooting nights of the year in the win at Holy Cross, the Bison got out to a slow start in this one. They made only four of their first 18 shots and finished the first half 7-for-28 with 12 turnovers.

Delaware 81, bucknell 68 sojka pavilion lewisburg, pa. • feb. 21, 2009

After playing 33 minutes of its best basketball of the season, Bucknell abruptly ran out of gas in its BracketBusters matchup with Delaware, and the Blue Hens scored the game’s final 25 points to steal an 81-68 win at Sojka Pavilion. Jawan Carter scored 26 points for Delaware, while Patrick Behan produced 23 for the Bison, his third straight game with 20 or more points. With seven minutes to play in the game Bucknell was shooting 52.1 percent from the field and had a seemingly commanding 68-56 lead. But from that point forward, the Bison went 0-for-11 from the floor, 0-for-2 from the foul line and committed five turnovers. Delaware took advantage, making six of nine shots, including two critical 3-pointers from Carter and one from Brian Johnson, and the Blue Hens polished things off by making 9 of 10 free throws in the final 1:38. G.W. Boon scored 16 points, while Justin Castleberry and Bryan Cohen added 11 each. Darryl Shazier dished out eight assists, but it was not enough as the Bison fell to 6-21 on the season.

Julian Simmons scored 21 points and Army used a 19-2 run to start the second half to break open a close game and surge past Bucknell 70-53 at Sojka Pavilion. Overshadowed by the disappointing loss was another big night from Bucknell junior Patrick Behan, who finished with 23 points and 12 rebounds. It was his fifth straight 20-point game and his eighth of the year, the most since Kevin Bettencourt had eight in 2003-04. But overall it was a tough offensive night for the Bison, who shot 30.4 percent from the field and 21.1 percent (4-19) from 3-point range after going 10-for-17 from the arc just three days earlier in a win over Lehigh.

Patrick Behan recorded his fourth straight 20-point game, totaling 23 points and nine rebounds to lead Bucknell to a convincing 72-51 victory over visiting Lehigh. Bryan Cohen added 17 points on 4-for-5 3-point shooting for the Bison, who posted their largest victory margin in almost two years. Cohen hit his first four 3-point attempts of the night and Jason Vegotsky canned his first three, and all told the Bison made 10 of 17. The hot shooting was only half of the story for Bucknell. At the defensive end the Bison forced Lehigh to miss 18 of its first 22 shots of the night. The Mountain Hawks went just 5-for-29 from the field in the first half while Bucknell stockpiled a 31-15 halftime lead. Lehigh crossed the 50-point barrier on an uncontested layup with less than a second left in the game.

R.J. Evans scored a career-high 31 points to lead Holy Cross past Bucknell 75-56 in the first round of the Patriot League Tournament. Patrick Behan tallied 15 points and 12 rebounds for the Bison, who bowed out in the first round for only the fourth time in the 19-year history of the Patriot League Tournament. It was its first opening-round loss since 2000. The key sequence in the second half came with Holy Cross up 38-35 with 15:34 to play when Cohen, Bucknell’s best defender, was whistled for his third foul. Evans scored six straight points with him on the bench to extend the Crusaders’ lead to nine at 44-35. Andrew Beinert got hot later in the half, canning three straight 3-pointers just 1:33 apart to give Holy Cross leads of 10, 11 and 14, all game highs at the time.

THE SHOT!

In 2005, Bucknell captured its very first Patriot League championship by defeating Holy Cross on its home floor, 61-57. For the Bison, the postseason fun didn’t end at the Hart Center. The following Sunday evening, fans packed an on-campus auditorium for the NCAA Tournament Selection Show, eagerly awaiting word on Bucknell’s “Big Dance” destination. Soon they learned that the 14th-seeded Bison would be headed to the Ford Center in Oklahoma City to face the No. 3 seed — the mighty Kansas Jayhawks. The excitement quickly turned to reality, considering Kansas had been ranked No. 1 in the nation for most of the year (and were still ranked first in the RPI), and the Jayhawks had already been to 33 NCAA Tournaments and 12 Final Fours. Kansas’ hallowed history hardly intimidated the Bison, however, as Kevin Bettencourt’s four-point play in the opening moments got them going, and the contest would soon develop into an “Instant Classic.” Bucknell led for most of the first half, and by as many as seven points, before Kansas closed the half on a 10-0 run to take a 31-28 lead to the locker room. There were five lead changes and four ties over the first 12 minutes of the second half, and the Bison seemingly had the game in hand when Abe Badmus stroked two free throws to put Bucknell up 62-57 with 1:22 to play. But Kansas quickly rallied for a 63-62 lead behind six straight free throws, the last two by Keith Langford with 25 seconds left. The Bison were hardly done, though, as Chris McNaughton spun into the paint and rattled in a short jump-hook over All-American Wayne Simien with 10.5 seconds left (see photo at left). When Simien’s 15-foot jumper at the buzzer drew only iron, a sea of orange jerseys flooded the Ford Center hardwood. Not only did the 64-63 victory snatch the attention of the nation, but it was the historic first NCAA Tournament win for Bucknell and the Patriot League. Two days later the Bison had to somehow put the Kansas victory in the rear view mirror and take on a very talented Wisconsin team that had captured the Big Ten regular-season title. And it was a very game effort, indeed. Bucknell shook off an early 13-point deficit and rallied to take the lead as late as the nine-minute mark of the second half. But the Badgers had too much down the stretch and escaped with a 71-62 victory, despite an eye-popping 23-point showing from McNaughton, who made 10 of 14 shots from the field going toe-to-toe with First Team All-Big Ten selection Mike Wilkinson. A true “Cinderella Story,” the Bison for a few days in March captured the imaginations of the sporting world, both for their inspired play on the floor and their poise, composure and sportsmanship off it. A fairy tale, indeed.


Bucknell made a return trip to the NCAA Tournament in 2006, but this time the scenario was a bit different. In 2005 the Bison were seeded 14th, and to many they were extreme underdogs going into the Kansas game. This time, however, Bucknell came into the tournament as a No. 9 seed — the highest ever for a Patriot League team — and there would be no more sneaking up on anyone. That didn’t mean that Bucknell’s first-round opponent was any pushover. Hardly. The Bison drew Southeastern Conference juggernaut Arkansas, powered by eventual NBA lottery pick Ronnie Brewer. Making things even tougher was that the game was played in Dallas, just a short drive from Fayetteville. In fact, the Razorbacks had won 19 straight games in Dallas, where they maintain their largest alumni base. Several hundred orange-clad Bison fans made the trek to the posh American Airlines Center, making for a spirited atmosphere. And for the second year in a row, the “Sojka Psychos” had to make plans for a long weekend. The gritty, battle-tested Bucknell squad used some lights-out 3-point shooting and its typical stingy defense to outlast the Hogs 59-55. Charles Lee equaled his career high with 24 points and fellow senior co-captain Kevin Bettencourt knocked down five 3-pointers and scored 18 points for the Bison. While Lee and Bettencourt played obvious starring roles, it was junior point guard Abe Badmus and junior reserve forward Donald Brown who came up big down the stretch. Badmus, who did not attempt a single field goal all day yet finished with seven assists and only two turnovers in 34 minutes, knocked down two monumental free throws with seven seconds left to stretch a two-point lead to four. Brown came down with two critical late rebounds, and with the game tied at 55-55 with just over a minute to play, he just beat a 10-second backcourt violation, alertly finding Lee open under the basket for the go-ahead layup. While Brewer finished with 14 points in his final collegiate game, the Bison held Arkansas 19 points below its season scoring average. Bucknell made 11 3-pointers and committed only five second-half turnovers. In the second round, Bucknell ran into Memphis, the No. 1 seed in the Oakland Regional, in an attempt to make it to the Sweet 16 for the first time in school history. Things looked good early, as the Bison sprinted to an early 10-4 lead behind 3-pointers from Lee and Bettencourt, but the athletic Tigers responded with a 20-2 run and eventually won 72-56. Chris McNaughton led Bucknell with 15 points, while captains Bettencourt and Lee had 12 and 11, respectively, in their final game of their brilliant careers. While the college basketball world may not have been quite as stunned this time around, chapter two of this Bison fairy tale was just as sweet.


A year earlier, Bucknell was the “darling of the dance.” The prestigious private school with an enrollment of about 3,400 that stunned perennial power Kansas in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. The victory made national headlines as the first-ever NCAA triumph for the Bison, or any Patriot League school for that matter. The team earned an ESPY award in the “Best Upset” category and spent the summer reliving the biggest win in the history of the program. As the 2005-06 campaign started, with virtually the entire roster returning intact, everyone wanted to know what Bucknell could do for an encore. And despite heaping expectations, both internal and external, all the Bison did was fashion their finest season yet. Even with a large “bulls-eye” on its back every night, Bucknell shattered the school victory record with a fancy 27-5 ledger, repeated as Patriot League champion and made a return trip to the second round of the NCAA Tournament after a thrilling 59-55 win over Arkansas. The Bison carried the sixth-best record in the nation — and the highest graduation rate (100%) — entering the NCAA Tournament. Among its impressive non-conference victories were road wins at then-No. 17 and eventual Big East champion Syracuse and DePaul, as well as a home victory over Atlantic-10 finalist Saint Joseph’s. The Bison really made their mark in Patriot League play, becoming the first team in the 16-year history of the conference to run the table, going a perfect 14-0. Three more double-digit wins in the Patriot League Tournament — capped by an impressive 74-59 win over Holy Cross — brought them a second straight league title. Then they earned a No. 9 seed in the NCAA Tournament, by far the highest in school and league history. Once in the field of 65, the Bison made sure their weekend in Dallas would be a long one. With co-captains Charles Lee and Kevin Bettencourt combining for nine 3-pointers and 42 points, Bucknell knocked off Southeastern Conference power Arkansas in the first round, validating the Kansas victory. In the round of 32, Bucknell ran into top-seeded Memphis, and the Conference USA champ wore down the Bison with its speed, strength and depth. Bucknell whittled a 19-point deficit down to nine in the second half, but the Tigers just had too much down the stretch, and the magical season that nobody wanted to end did just that on a rainy Sunday in Dallas. Of Bucknell’s five losses in 2005-06, three came at the hands of No. 1 seeds in the NCAA Tournament — Memphis, Duke and Villanova. Northern Iowa, which topped Bucknell in double overtime in an ESPN BracketBusters classic, earned an at-large bid out of the highly respected Missouri Valley Conference and was also nationally ranked at times during the season. Speaking of national rankings, in 2005-06 Bucknell also achieved its first-ever listing in a national poll. On Feb. 13 the Bison were ranked 24th in both the Associated Press Poll and the ESPN/USA TODAY Coaches’ Poll. Bucknell was also ranked 25th in the final Coaches’ Poll of the season. While not without star power, Bucknell’s greatest asset was its depth and its unselfish team play, particularly on defense. Armed with a tricky matchup zone defense, the Bison entered the NCAA Tournament ranked second nationally in scoring defense (55.3). In 32 games in 2005-06 they allowed 60 or more points only nine times and 70 or more only five times, while on nine occasions they kept teams under 50.


It started with a 74-52 win at Navy on Jan. 7 and ended with a 74-59 victory over Holy Cross in the Patriot League championship game at Sojka Pavilion. A perfect record, something that had never been done before in the 16-year history of the Patriot League. An unprecedented 14-0 regular-season mark and three more wins in the tournament gave the Bison 17 straight conference triumphs in 2006. Those 17 victories came in all shapes and sizes. There were lopsided wins — two by 30 or more points, and four by 20 or more — and there were some close calls, most notably in Worcester, Mass., where the Bison miraculously rallied from 15 down with 16 minutes to play to win 57-52. When Bucknell topped Army 70-47 on Senior Night at Sojka Pavilion in the regular-season finale, the Orange & Blue became the first team to run the table in Patriot League play. Previously, six teams had finished with one loss, including Bucknell in 1993 (13-1). Additionally, the Bison became the 200th Division I team in NCAA history to go unbeaten in their conference, and the 90th to do so with at least 14 wins. Bucknell joined Gonzaga (14-0 in the West Coast Conference) and George Washington (16-0 in the Atlantic 10) as the only teams in the country to finish unbeaten in its league in 2005-06. As the No. 1 seed, the Bison earned the right to play at home throughout the Patriot League Tournament, no small factor since they hadn’t lost to a league foe at Sojka Pavilion in four years. With large, partisan crowds at their backs, the Bison outlasted Army, 59-47, in the first round and American, 64-50, in the semifinals. That set up a rematch with No. 2 seed Holy Cross in the championship game. The previous year the seeds were reversed, and Bucknell won the title on the Crusaders’ home floor. With ESPN2 cameras in place, Holy Cross came out with revenge on its mind and trailed by only four at the half. But senior captains Kevin Bettencourt and Charles Lee put the Bison on their backs, hitting one critical shot after another, including nine 3-pointers between them, and Bucknell pulled away with a crushing 15-2 run. At the eight-minute mark the Bison had a commanding 60-44 lead, and soon after most of the crowd of 4,110 was dancing on the floor and the Sojka Pavilion nets were cut down for the first time. Following the game Lee was named Patriot League Tournament MVP, making him the first repeat winner of the award in league history. Lee registered 16 points, seven rebounds, four steals and three assists in the championship game, and he logged 43 points in the three tournament games. Bettencourt, who hit six 3-pointers and scored 23 points in the title contest, and center Chris McNaughton were also named to the all-tournament team. Donald Brown also had a magnificent tournament, capped by a 14-point, fiverebound performance against Holy Cross.


Bucknell entered the 2006-07 campaign coming off the winningest season in program history, and even though the Bison graduated two of their all-time greats in Kevin Bettencourt and Charles Lee, expectations were still high heading into the season. It was a tough start, with heartbreaking overtime losses to Wake Forest at home and Penn State on the road contributing to a frustrating 0-4 start. Things turned around quickly, however, and a 15-point win at Yale kicked off a 5-1 stretch that also included the two most impressive non-conference wins of the year: a 60-57 victory over reigning Final Four participant George Mason at the BB&T Classic and a terrific 68-67 victory at Atlantic 10 power Xavier. The Bison opened Patriot League play with home wins over Navy and American, stretching their winning streak against conference foes to 23. The run ended on Jan. 12 at Holy Cross, but it would be nearly two months before Bucknell tasted defeat again. A hard-fought road win at Lafayette ignited a 14-game winning streak, the longest in-season streak in school history. A three-point home win over Holy Cross in the rematch at Sojka Pavilion highlighted the run. A year after posting an unprecedented 14-0 Patriot League record, the Bison went 13-1 and tied for the PL regular-season title with Holy Cross. The Crusaders were awarded the No. 1 seed and pivotal home-court advantage in the Patriot League Tournament based on the league’s final tiebreaker, the RPI. Bucknell opened postseason play at home with victories over Navy and Army by an average margin of 20 points. That set the stage for a third straight Bucknell-Holy Cross showdown for the Patriot League title. Bucknell won at the Hart Center in 2005 and at Sojka Pavilion in 2006, but this time it was the Crusaders who prevailed, 74-66. Seven busloads of orange-clad Bison fans invaded Worcester, Mass., and watched their team erase all of a 19-point second-half deficit, but Holy Cross had enough down the stretch. Despite 22 victories and the PL regular-season co-championship, Bucknell was not selected for an atlarge berth to either the NCAA Tournament or NIT. That brought an end to the brilliant careers of Abe Badmus, Donald Brown and Chris McNaughton, who graduated as the program’s all-time winningest senior class with 87 victories. McNaughton, who ranked sixth on Bucknell’s career scoring list (second among centers), earned both First Team All-Patriot League and Patriot League Scholar-Athlete of the Year honors for the third year in a row. Brown, despite missing seven games with a broken hand near the end of a terrific senior season, earned Second Team honors.

Abe Badmus (5), Chris McNaughton (32) and Donald Brown (4): Bucknell’s winningest senior class.

(Clockwise from top): Rob Thomas, Justin Castleberry, Stephen Tyree and Patrick Behan all emerged as key players for the Bison in 2006-07.

bucknell’s retired jerseys On Saturday, Feb. 25, 2006, former Bucknell basketball stars Hal Danzig and Al Leslie became the first two members of the men’s program to have their jerseys retired. The ceremony took place at halftime of Bucknell’s men’s basketball game against Army. Danzig and Leslie are both members of the Bucknell Athletics Hall of Fame, and they are widely considered the program’s best players of their respective eras and two of the greatest in the history of Bison basketball. Leslie’s No. 22 jersey and Danzig’s No. 44 uniform are now permanently hung on the wall of Sojka Pavilion’s East Concourse.

#44 hal danzig Harold M. “Hal” Danzig of the Class of 1959 was one of the first true basketball superstars to play at Bucknell. A two-time All-East selection and an Honorable Mention All-American as a senior, Danzig was the starting center on three of Bucknell’s all-time great teams, and he holds school rebounding records that many consider to be unbreakable. When Danzig joined the Bucknell varsity squad in 1956-57, the Bison had won 16 games in a season only once in their history. They collected that exact number of wins in each of his three varsity seasons, amassing a 48-23 overall record. Nicknamed “Moose,” Danzig was the team’s leading scorer all three years and totalled 1,163 career points. At the time, that was the second-highest point total in school history, only 20 off the record held then by Joe Gallagher. As a junior he compiled what was then a school-record 426 points. But Danzig is best known today for his extraordinary rebounding totals. He hauled in 1,134 rebounds in three seasons. More than 45 years later, no Bison player has come within 148 rebounds of that impressive total. He increased his yearly rebounding average each season, from 15.0 to 16.1 to a whopping 16.8 rebounds per game. His career rebounding average of 15.97 per game is staggering. Co-captain of the 1958-59 Bucknell team, Danzig was named to the ECAC All-East and Associated Press All-Pennsylvania teams for two consecutive years and was on the All-Middle Atlantic Conference University Division first team and Palestra All-Opponent second team as a senior. The 6’6”, 230-pounder received Honorable Mention United Press International (UPI) All-America Honors in 1959, and he was selected to participate in two senior all-star games. Danzig was inducted into the Bucknell Athletics Hall of Fame as a member of its fifth class in 1983. Danzig came to Bucknell from East High School in Rochester, New York. His son, Carl, later served as an assistant coach at Bucknell under both Charlie Woollum and Pat Flannery.

#22 al leslie Albert V. Leslie is widely considered Bucknell’s greatest men’s basketball player. A Baltimore native and graduate of the McDonogh School, Leslie was a prodigious scorer during his four years with the Orange & Blue, despite being lightly recruited out of high school as a 6’3” center. At Bucknell he played guard and some small forward, and he shattered school records for points in a game (45), season (564) and career (1,973), records that still stood in the history books at the time of his jersey retirement in 2006. A 1981 Bucknell graduate, Leslie was selected by the Indiana Pacers in the second round of the NBA Draft and was the team’s last cut before the start of the regular season. He later played briefly for the Rochester Zeniths of the Continental Basketball Association. Leslie, who was the first Bison player to be taken in the NBA Draft, later returned to Bucknell as an assistant coach for two seasons. Leslie led the Bison to school victory records in his sophomore (18-7) and junior (20-7) years, as well as two consecutive East Coast Conference Western Section titles. He was a three-time All-ECC selection, and in 1980 he was an all-district pick by the U.S. Basketball Writers’ Association. A year later Leslie earned All-East plaudits, and he won the Kribbs Award as team MVP three straight years. His season total of 564 points in 1979-80 shattered a school record that had stood since the 1960-61 season. His 20.9 scoring average was second-best in school history, and in January of his junior year Leslie poured in a record 45 points in a 105-89 victory over American University. As a senior, Leslie tallied 537 points and had another 40-point game (41) against West Chester. He finished his career with an 18.1 scoring average, thirdbest in Bison annals. He started the final 105 games of his career and scored in double figures in all but 11 of them. Called “the finest player ever to wear a Bucknell basketball uniform” by his head coach, Charlie Woollum, Leslie was inducted into the Bucknell Athletics Hall of Fame in 1986.

Bucknell Athletics Hall of Fame

J.R. Holden ‘98 was a first-ballot Hall of Fame inductee in 2008. The Bucknell Athletics Hall of Fame, established in 1979 to honor the very best in the history of Bucknell athletics, welcomed six new members this fall when the Class of 2009 was inducted during ceremonies on Homecoming Weekend. This year’s induction brings to 211 the number of outstanding student-athletes, coaches, administrators and friends of Bucknell whose contributions to Bison athletics are forever preserved in the Hall. Hall of Fame plaques are displayed on the second floor of Gerhard Fieldhouse. Among the members of the 2008 Hall of Fame Class was the 45th member of the Bucknell basketball family to be inducted — J.R. Holden ’98. Holden has gained fame in recent years for his heroic exploits with CSKA Moscow and the Russian National Team, particularly after he hit the game-winning shot in the championship game of the 2007 European Championship, giving Russia a spot in the 2008 Olympics. But his Bucknell career was also noteworthy, as he transformed from a lightly recruited guard into a two-time First Team All-Patriot League selection. A two-time team MVP, Holden scored 1,327 career points, which ranked ninth in program history when he graduated. He is one of only three players in school history with 1,000 points and 300 assists. His best year came as a senior, when he led the team in 11 statistical categories, including scoring (18.2), assists (4.1) and steals (1.5), and he led the Patriot League in assists and ranked second in scoring that year. Bill Courtney, a 2007 inductee, was one of the top scorers in program history. As a junior he set the school single-season scoring record with 619 points — a record that still stands — and he also led the team in assists that season. His 1,499 career points ranked fifth in school history at the time of his graduation and now ranks eighth. A First Team All-Patriot League selection in 1991 and 1992, Courtney’s 14.6 points-per-game average ranks 10th in program history. Patrick King, one of the more inspiring student-athletes to be enshrined in the Hall, was inducted in 2006. A walk-on to the Bison men’s basketball squad, King made his way through the junior varsity ranks, eventually earned a starting forward position and as a senior was named Patriot League Player of the Year after averaging 20.3 points per game. An Academic All-America selection in 1992, King is the school and Patriot League-record holder for field-goal percentage in a season (.670 in 1990-91) and career (.638).

In 2005 Harvey Carter ‘73 and Mike Bright ‘93 were inducted. Carter was a three-year starter and two year captain of the Bison basketball team. He was a First Team All-Middle Atlantic Conference selection as a senior in 1972-73, when he led the team in scoring at 14.2 points per game under coach Jim Valvano. He logged 1,013 points and 783 rebounds in his career, making him one of only 13 players in school history to collect 1,000 points and 500 rebounds. Bright was a top player on Bucknell’s outstanding teams of the early 1990s. He was the Patriot League Player of the Year as a senior in 1993, when he led the Bison to a 23-6 record and the league’s regular-season title. Outstanding in all phases of the game, Bright is Bucknell’s No. 3 all-time scorer with 1,670 points, trailing only fellow Hall of Famers Al Leslie (1,973) and Bob Barry (1,809). Mike Joseph, a member of the Class of 1990, was a 2003 Hall of Fame inductee. Joseph was a three-year starter and a member of two East Coast Conference championship squads that advanced to the NCAA Tournament. He was a two-time All-ECC selection and set nine Bucknell records, including the marks for career assists, free throws, free-throw percentage and 3-point percentage. Now Bucknell’s No. 6 all-time scorer, Joseph’s .884 career free-throw percentage ranks 14th in NCAA history. Former basketball stars Ted Aceto and Mike Butts, both of the Bucknell Class of 1989 were members of the Hall of Fame Class of 2000. Aceto lettered four times in basketball and three times in baseball (he missed his junior year with an injury). He scored 1,118 points in his career on the hardwood, and helped the Bison earn their only two trips ever to the NCAA Tournament in 1987 and 1989. On the diamond, he was a first team all-conference shortstop in 1989 when he led the league and ranked 12th in the nation with a .444 average. His .408 career batting average still stands as a Bucknell record. Following graduation, he played two years in the New York Mets system. Butts was the leading scorer on both the 1987 and 1989 NCAA men’s basketball teams for the Bison. He is one of just two players in Bucknell history with over 1,300 (1,355) points and 850 (860) rebounds in a career. He continues to hold game, season and career blocked shot records for the Orange and Blue, and was a two-time All-ECC First Team honoree. As a senior, he was honorable mention All-East and honorable mention All-America. In addition, he excelled in the classroom and was a two-time Academic All-America selection. Bill Gravely ’77, a former track and field standout and basketball player, was inducted in 1998. Gravely, who still holds indoor and outdoor triple jump records, played basketball for three seasons, averaging 5.8 points and 5.1 rebounds in his career. In 1997, former Bison basketball players Ellis Harley ’59 and Pete Fry ’32 were inducted into the Hall. Harley starred in both basketball and baseball, and at the time of his graduation, ranked fifth in school history with 757 career points. He co-captained the Bison as a junior and senior, and played on three straight teams that won 16 games. Harley has been a Lewisburg resident for more than 30 years, served as Bucknell’s associate vice president for finance until his recent retirement. Fry, who died in April 1997, played four sports at Bucknell. He was a leading scorer on the hardwood for the Orange and Blue, a back and end with the football team, a star pitcher and outfielder with the baseball team, and a member of the track and field program. Longtime Bucknell coach Charlie Woollum

was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1995. Woollum coached from 1975-94 and had a 19-year record of 318-221. That victory total is higher than that of any other coach in any one sport in Bucknell’s intercollegiate athletic history. Woollum recently retired after serving six seasons as head coach at William & Mary. Alvin F. “Doggie” Julian is another member of the Hall of Fame. Julian is also a member of the National Basketball Hall of Fame. In addition to a distinguished career as an athlete at Bucknell, Julian was a highly successful coach at Muhlenberg, Holy Cross and Dartmouth, and his 1947 Holy Cross team, led by Bob Cousy and George Kaftan, won the NCAA title. Other members of the Bucknell Hall of Fame include Mal Musser ’18, who played and coached at Bucknell and is the only basketball coach other than Woollum and Pat Flannery to win more than 100 games with the Bison; George Haines ’43, Joe Gallagher ’52, Joe Steiner ’62, Jim Wherry ’70, Bob Barry ’80 and Al Leslie ’81, all of whom held the school scoring record when they graduated; Hal Danzig ’59, the career rebounding leader; and John Anderson 1905, who scored 80 points in a single game. Perhaps the most famous member of the Hall of Fame is Christy Mathewson, an outstanding athlete at Bucknell who is also a member of the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, N.Y.

The Plan for Bucknell Bucknell is a unique national university where liberal arts and professional programs complement each other, where 3,400 full-time students are educated for a lifetime of critical thinking and strong leadership. For more than 160 years, the University has remained true to its fundamental purpose: to educate and prepare students for lives that make a difference and have a positive impact on the world. In keeping with that purpose, the University has developed The Plan for Bucknell, which includes its collective vision — “To provide students with the premier undergraduate experience in American higher education.” Students helped shape this vision because of their confidence in the University. The Plan comprises five strategies: Strengthen the Academic Core aims to ensure that a Bucknell education is challenging and engaging, with openness to new ideas and a culture of innovation; Deepen the Residential Learning Experience will provide a residential learning and living experience that complements the academic program, integrates the athletics and recreation program and promotes personal growth and development and civic and ethical responsibility; Enhance Diversity is a commitment to diversity in all its forms within a civil and supportive environment of open exchange to prepare Bucknell graduates to live and work in a globally integrated and intercultural world; Build Bridges will bring the world to Bucknell — through visiting scholars and sports teams, international students and alumni, guest speakers, international focus semesters, and electronic communications — and bring Bucknell to the world through strategic partnerships and community engagement activities as well as opportunities for off-campus study and faculty research; Secure Our Financial Future will secure resources necessary to engage new opportunities, lessen dependence on tuition, and ensure our financial future. The Plan for Bucknell was unanimously approved by the Board of Trustees on April 29, 2006, having previously been approved by the students and faculty. We have begun implementing it and are determined to make it a reality over the next decade.

ATHLETICS MISSION STATEMENT The Department of Athletics and Recreation strives to set the standard of excellence for intercollegiate and intramural programs in higher education, thereby advancing and drawing attention to the mission, core values, and educational goals of Bucknell University. The Department believes that studentathletes’ academic programs must be their first priority. It is therefore committed to maintaining Bucknell’s high national ranking for student-athletes’ graduation rates and for producing Academic All-Americans, and to continued leadership of the Patriot League in Academic Honor Roll nominations, based on grade-point averages. The coaches’ and staff’s paramount responsibility is maintaining academic priorities and supporting student-athletes’ education, even while providing the rigorous and serious NCAA Division I athletic opportunities Bucknell student-athletes seek. Further, the Department promotes the personal growth of student-athletes and the general student body by encouraging personal health, development, and balance among intellectual, social, civic, and physical pursuits; by celebrating challenge and com-

petition; and by preparing participants for service and leadership in the world. Coaches and staff direct a rich array of athletic programs and recreational opportunities aimed at increasing student engagement, as well as strengthening character, healthy living, teamwork, sportsmanship, and spirit. In creating shared experiences for students, faculty, and staff, as well as alumni, family, and friends, the Department’s programs add substantially to Bucknell’s sense of community and foster life-long relationships with Bucknell. The Department embraces the University’s decision to compete at the highest extramural

level, in Division I of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA). Division I membership is valuable not only because this level of competition maximally challenges student-athletes, but also because it signals clearly Bucknell’s high standards and seriousness of purpose in all extracurricular endeavors and it helps position Bucknell apart from other National Liberal Arts Colleges. Likewise, the competitive success the Department seeks, measured in part by consistent contention for the Patriot League Presidents’ Cup, reflects positively upon Bucknell’s student-athletes and the University alike, and it brings distinction and national recognition to Bucknell. A student-centered operation, the Department is committed to providing equitable opportunities to women and men, as well as members of minority and majority groups of all kinds. The Department subscribes to, and complies with, all principles and regulations of the Patriot League, the Eastern College Athletic Conference, and the NCAA. The department is proud that so many of today’s exemplary Bison scholar-athletes will be tomorrow’s outstanding leaders.

T

he Bucknell University Department of Athletics and Recreation prides itself on setting the standard of excellence when it comes to success both on the playing fields and in the classroom. With 15 Patriot League Presidents’ Cups in 19 years, national leadership in graduation rates, 117 ESPN the Magazine Academic All-Americans in 38 years and 113 Patriot League Scholar-Athletes in 19 years, Bucknell is clearly at the head of the class in terms of upholding the scholar-athlete model. The 2003 addition of the Kenneth G. Langone Athletics and Recreation Center, one of the finest collegiate athletics and recreation venues of its kind, ensures the continuation of that success. The facility enhances each of Bucknell’s 27 varsity programs and greatly expands the scope of its growing intramural and recreational sports offerings. A visually appealing structure located along Moore Avenue on the “downhill” side of campus, the Langone Athletics and Recreation Center was designed to reach out to all members of the campus community, including the student body, varsity student-athletes, faculty, staff and alumni. Three primary venues lie within the facility: the Arthur D. Kinney Jr. Natatorium, the 4,000-seat Gary A. Sojka Pavilion and the Krebs Family Fitness Center. Other features include a new location for the Bucknell Athletics Hall of Fame, a display of Bucknell’s Congressional Medal of Honor recipients, a sports medicine and athletic training suite, classrooms, modern offices for coaches and staff

home of the Bison baseball team; and the spacious West Fields Complex, which encompasses Depew Field (baseball), Varsity Softball Field and the adjoining Graham Field (Astroturf for field hockey and women’s lacrosse) and Varsity Soccer Field (natural grass) venues that now feature a brand new stadium/press box facility. A closer look behind the walls of the Kenneth G. Langone Athletics and Recreation Center:

Ramer Schaffner Memorial Hall

Ramer Schaffner Memorial Hall greets guests as they enter the Langone Athletics and Recreation Center. The entry hall features the busts of 2nd Lt. George H. Ramer and 1st Lt. Dwite H. Schaffner, Bucknell’s Congressional Medal of Honor recipients, and provides access to Gerhard Fieldhouse and the Krebs Family Fitness Center on the ground level. Guests may proceed to the second level to enter Davis Gym, administrative offices and the Hall of Fame, which celebrates Bucknell’s Patriot League championships and other notable feats.

Krebs Fitness Center

and increased locker room space for varsity and recreational athletes. The facility is named in honor of Ken Langone, a 1957 Bucknell graduate who, along with his wife Elaine, pledged $11 million toward the center’s construction. Langone was a member of the university Board of Trustees from 1980 to 1996. One of the special qualities of the Langone Athletics and Recreation Center is the manner in which it supplements the pre-existing facilities. The new construction surrounds Gerhard Fieldhouse and historic Davis Gymnasium, which has been restored as a competition venue for the Bison volleyball and wrestling teams, as well as intramural, recreation and other varsity practice activities. As Bucknell continues to strive toward its mission of setting the standard of excellence in college athletics, the Langone Athletics and Recreation Center is the centerpiece in an already impressive cache of athletics facilities that includes the 13,100-seat Christy Mathewson-Memorial Stadium and its FieldTurf and 8-lane track surface; the scenic Bucknell Golf Club; Depew Field, the

Promoting lifetime wellness, the Krebs Family Fitness Center contains state-of-the-art cardiovascular and strength conditioning equipment. The 16,000-square-foot center includes over 175 positions for equipment within three distinct areas. The first-level cardiovascular and pin-select equipment is open for student, faculty and staff use at all times. Directly above, the mezzanine also contains cardio equipment, with scenic views of the campus and natatorium. The third area, the Berger Family Weight Room, sits on the former site of Freas-Rooke Pool, and is used for instructional free-weight training and varsity workouts.

allowing for multiple team practices and recreational swimming to occur simultaneously. Natatorium amenities include seating for 500 spectators, restrooms, separated varsity and visiting team locker rooms, a poolside classroom, sauna, steam room and concession stands. Already Kinney Natatorium has played host to several major events, most notably the 2005 NCAA Men’s Water Polo Championship. The facility has also served as host of the 2003, 2005 and 2007 Patriot League Swimming and Diving Championships, the 2004 Eastern Women’s Water Polo Championship and an exhibition game against the U.S. women’s water polo national team, drawing rave reviews at each. Beginning in the spring of 2005, the Pennsylvania state swimming championships moved to Kinney Natatorium. The facility has proven to be quite a home pool advantage for Bucknell, which became the first institution in league history to capture both the men’s and women’s swimming and diving championships in the same season in 2003. A total of 20 meet records and 16 league marks fell that weekend.

Sojka Pavilion

Sojka Pavilion provides the Bison men’s and women’s basketball programs with one of the finest arenas in the East. A “first-class” venue capable of seating 4,000 spectators for sporting and other campus events, the pavilion has walk-down access to all seats and unobstructed views of the playing surface or concert stage for all spectators. The seating bowl features approximately 1,500 fixed seats and 2,500 retractable seats, enabling an “expandable” open floor area with sufficient space for three basketball courts for recreational activities and varsity practices. The spacious upper-level concourse includes two concession areas, restrooms, handicapped seating and several suites that overlook the floor. Behind the scenes, on the floor level, Sojka Pavilion provides a green room for performance acts and other functions, a catering kitchen for special events, ticket windows, locker room space for home and visiting teams and officials, and a loading dock capable of accommodating team buses and production trucks for televised events. More than two-dozen nationally televised basketball games have been aired from Sojka Pavilion, including the ESPN2 broadcast of the 2006 Patriot League championship game and an ESPN360 airing of the Bucknell-Villanova men’s game that drew a school-record crowd of 4,433.

Kinney Natatorium

Kinney Natatorium features a 50-meter by 25-yard Olympic class pool, which accommodates four varsity programs — men’s and women’s swimming and diving and men’s and women’s water polo — while enhancing the recreational aquatics opportunities for the Bucknell community. The pool itself features two moveable bulkheads,

Athletics Facilities Whether it is the varsity student-athlete, the intramurals participant or the fitness buff looking for a nice workout, members of the Bucknell community benefit from a wide array of first class athletics facilities. The completion of the Kenneth Langone Athletics & Recreation Center in 2003 highlighted a facilities boon at Bucknell. Sojka Pavilion, Kinney Natatorium and the Krebs Family Fitness Center are the centerpieces of the sparkling new indoor facility, nicely complementing the renovated Davis Gym and Gerhard Fieldhouse, all of which lie under the same roof. Christy Mathewson-Memorial Stadium is the largest of the outdoor facilities, with 13,100 seats surrounding the FieldTurf playing surface and recently resurfaced 8-lane track. The West Fields complex also has a new look with the recent installation of Graham Field, featuring an AstroTurf surface for field hockey and women’s lacrosse, and its neighboring Emmitt Field, a four-year-old natural-grass facility constructed with a modern drainage system. Holmes Stadium, completed in 2007, is an impressive covered grandstand featuring all chair-back seating, along with the accompanying support facilities (locker rooms, athletic training room, press box, concession/merchandise stand, etc.) that service both fields. The next phase of the West Fields improvement project includes significant upgrades for baseball and softball. Also located on the western end of campus are numerous grass fields for intramurals and recreation, as well as Bucknell’s own highly regarded 18-hole golf course. The Bison rowing team has its own boathouse located about 10 miles south of campus, along the scenic Susquehanna River. That is the only athletics facility that is not located within a short walk from the center of campus. The quality and location of these venues makes Bucknell one of the most sports-friendly campuses in the nation.

University Administration bucknell’s 16th PRESIDENT DR. BRIAN C. MITCHELL Bucknell has long been known for its strong academic programs and broad opportunities for leadership and service. As president of the University, Brian C. Mitchell’s vision is to build on that tradition of excellence by helping Bucknell fulfill its goal of providing the premier undergraduate experience in American higher education. This is no small task, but President Mitchell’s background indicates that he is well prepared. He is both a scholar and a leader in higher education. A historian by trade, he received his Ph.D. from the University of Rochester. He is a specialist in 19th-century urban, ethnic, and labor history and the author of the critically acclaimed Paddy Camps: The Irish of Lowell, 1821-1861. He has been widely quoted in The New York Times, The Christian Science Monitor, The Chicago Tribune, The Pittsburgh PostGazette, The Philadelphia Inquirer and The Chronicle of Higher Education, among others.

Along with his passion for learning, President Mitchell brings significant professional experience to Bucknell, having most recently served as a college president and as president of the Association of Independent Colleges and Universities of Pennsylvania. In July 2007, he became chair of both the Patriot League Division I athletic conference and of the Association of Independent Colleges and Universities, and he will continue to serve on the boards of Geisinger Medical Center and Bucknell University. Through these volunteer activities, he is working to build bridges between Bucknell and other institutions of learning and research. President Mitchell’s dedication of time and energy to higher education is rivaled only by his dedication to his family, as his wife, Maryjane, and their two sons will attest.

Athletics Administration John P. hardt

The Hardt File . . .

Director of athletics & RecreatIon At the helm of a proud and flourishing Bison athletics program is director of athletics and recreation John Hardt, who is now in his 10th year at Bucknell and his 24th year in athletics administration. Hardt administers a broad-based sports program with a proud and successful history. Since his arrival, Hardt has orchestrated one of the nation’s most assertive facilities overhauls, built and maintained relationships with major donors, restructured the athletics administration in order to help Bucknell stay ahead of the curve in the fast-paced world of Division I athletics and built upon Bucknell’s long-standing tradition of scholar-athlete excellence. Hardt is privileged to oversee a varsity athletics program that has long been at the head of the class in the Patriot League, both on the playing fields and in the classroom. From Presidents’ Cups to Academic All-Americans to the nation’s best graduation rate, Bison Athletics carries a proud heritage. While building on Bucknell’s athletic and academic excellence is paramount, Hardt has also incorporated progressive ideas in the area of external relations. Initiatives such as the Bison Magazine online video series, a new graphics identity package, an informative and visually appealing athletics Web site and a revamped Bison Club all serve to bring Bison Athletics into the homes of its supporters. Hardt reorganized the management structure of the department and implemented a sport management group, dividing the direct oversight of 27 men’s and women’s varsity programs among Hardt and four associate directors of athletics. During his productive tenure at Bucknell, Hardt has overseen eight consecutive years of growth in Bison Club donations, and he has seen the program benefit from several major gifts. While the Kenneth G. Langone Athletics and Recreation Center is the crown jewel of a successful university fundraising campaign, other significant offerings include a $7.6 million donation from William Graham — one of the largest in university history — which was directed toward women’s athletics and the successful restoration of wrestling to varsity status. Graham Field, the new AstroTurf venue at the West Fields, was also a result of that gift. Other major gifts have included the funding of the FieldTurf playing surface and new lighting in Christy Mathewson-Memorial Stadium, the brand new Holmes Stadium grandstand/press box facility that supports both Graham Field and Emmitt Field, the ongoing upgrades to the baseball and softball facilities, as well as endowments for football, track and field, water polo and swimming and diving. While much has been achieved in the last eight years, Hardt’s vision for Bison Athletics carries well into the future. Working with campus and department leadership, he has developed a long-range plan for Bucknell Athletics that meshes with President Brian Mitchell’s strategic plan, entitled The Plan for

Bucknell. Hardt’s plan focuses on future facilities upgrades, places an emphasis on diversity and gender equity, and promises the continued commitment to a student-centered athletics and recreation program that adheres to the student-athlete ideal. Hardt, who received the Gen. Robert R. Neyland Outstanding Athletic Director Award in March 2008 the All-American Football Foundation’s 91st Banquet of Champions, also remains very active in athletics governance at the national level. In 2006-07 he served as chair of the NCAA Football Championship Subdivision Committee, and last fall he joined the Division I Baseball Committee. He began his tenure at Bucknell on February 15, 2000, after serving four years as associate director of athletics at Michigan State University. While there, Hardt supervised the sports medicine staff, strength and conditioning, equipment operations, computing and tech services and NCAA/Big Ten rules compliance. In addition, he handled legal and contractual issues for the department. Prior to his tenure at MSU, Hardt spent five years at Syracuse University as director of athletic compliance and four years with the NCAA’s national office as a compliance representative. A native Iowan, Hardt is a 1984 honors graduate of the University of Iowa, and he was a member of the Hawkeyes’ 1982 Rose Bowl football team. He later earned his law degree from Iowa and is a doctoral candidate in Iowa’s College of Education.

senior associate director of athletics Tim Pavlechko, a 1991 Bucknell graduate, is in his 10th year as a member of the Bison athletics staff, and his eighth as Senior Associate Director of Athletics. A former Bison student-athlete and graduate assistant coach, Pavlechko returned to Bucknell from the NCAA office in Indianapolis, where he spent three years as an assistant director of championships. At Bucknell Pavlechko serves as chief aide to the director of athletics in the management and leadership of the department. Pavlechko supervises 13 sports, including men’s basketball, at Bucknell. In addition, Pavlechko oversees the areas of facilities/game management, athletic training/sports medicine, strength and conditioning and personnel. He has had primary oversight of Bucknell’s recent athletics facilities boom, including the construction of the Kenneth G. Langone Athletics and Recreation Center and the multi-phase West Fields project. In 2006-07, Pavlechko began serving on the NCAA Division I Men’s Lacrosse Committee, and he continues his three-year stint as chair of the committee. During his days at the NCAA office, Pavlechko was responsible for the administration and conduct of seven national championships, including Division I wrestling and men’s lacrosse, which annually ranked among the top-five revenue producing championships within the association. He served as liaison to numerous coaches associations and sport governing bodies. In addition, Pavlechko handled corporate partner relations and was a group technology liaison with the championships division. Prior to his work at the NCAA, Pavlechko spent five years working in the athletic department at UNLV. After spending the 1993-94 year as an external affairs intern with the department, he became a game operations representative. In 1995 he was promoted to coordinator of game operations and athletic facilities, overseeing game operations for 15 sports while managing seven athletic facilities. A native of Boalsburg, Pa., Pavlechko graduated from Bucknell with a bachelor of science degree in business administration, and he went on to earn a master of science degree in business administration from Bucknell in 1993. Pavlechko played center and guard on the Bison offensive line, and he remained with the program as a graduate assistant for two years coaching the defensive ends and long snappers. Pavlechko resides in Lewisburg with his daughters, 14-year-old Ella and eight-year-old Lauren.

Dr. mitch chernin NCAA Faculty Rep.

In May 2003, Dr. Mitch Chernin, professor of biology, accepted an appointment to become Bucknell’s NCAA Faculty Representative, replacing colleague Dr. Gary Sojka, who served in that capacity for two years. Chernin, a member of the Bucknell faculty since 1985, is tasked with representing Bucknell and its faculty in relations with the NCAA and the Patriot League. In addition, he provides campus leadership on athletically-related issues and acts as a liaison with the University’s governance system. Chernin has been a member of the university’s Committee on Athletics since 2001 and recently oversaw its successful NCAA re-certification process. A fundamental believer in Bucknell’s commitment to the scholarathlete model, Chernin firmly believes that a student’s college education extends well beyond the confines of the classroom or laboratory. “It is the university’s responsibility to provide opportunities for students to develop leadership, self-awareness, confidence and discipline,” he said.

amanda backus

associate director of athletics & senior woman administrator Amanda Backus is in her ninth year as Associate Director of Athletics and Senior Woman Administrator at Bucknell. Backus came to Bucknell from Quinnipiac University in Hamden, Conn., where she had served as the senior woman administrator and associate athletic director for compliance and student services since July 1999. In that role, she provided leadership and guidance to 21 Division I sports programs, with an emphasis on 11 women’s programs. Backus also coordinated and implemented all NCAA, NEC, MAAC and institutional rules and procedures governing the conduct of Quinnipiac’s intercollegiate athletic program. That process included the education of institutional faculty, staff, athletics interests and student-athletes regarding NCAA compliance. At Bucknell, Backus serves as an important aide to the director of athletics and supervises 14 Bison sports, including women’s basketball. She oversees Bucknell’s unique Faculty Sideline Program and oversees all gender equity and minority opportunity issues. She is also a key campus liaison in the areas of financial aid and admissions, multicultural affairs, the Women’s Resource Center, psychological services, LGBT and with the faculty and deans. In 2005-06 she was the department of athletics’ liaison in Bucknell’s successful NCAA re-certification process, and she serves as Bucknell’s Title IX coordinator. Backus recently completed service as chair of the NCAA Division I Field Hockey Committee, and in 2007-08 she chaired the Division I Women’s Lacrosse Committee. Prior to her tenure at Quinnipiac, Backus spent a year and a half at Cornell University where she served as a compliance and event management intern, then as the assistant compliance coordinator and event management supervisor. Backus received her undergraduate degree from Franklin & Marshall in 1992, and she earned her master of science degree with a concentration in athletic administration from Springfield College. Her husband, Jared, is a former member of the Bison football coaching staff who is now on the staff at Temple. The couple has a six-year-old son, Garrett, and a three-year-old daughter, Grace.

“It seems to me that many, if not all, of these qualities can be attained by participating in athletics at the highest level.” Chernin arrived at Bucknell in the fall of 1985 after a post-doctoral stint at Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons. He received his bachelor’s degree in marine biology from the University of Massachusetts-Dartmouth in 1973, before going on to earn a master’s degree in tropical marine biology from the University of Guam in 1979 and a Ph.D. in molecular biology from Clemson University in 1982. Promoted to associate professor of biology in 1991 and to the Herbert L. Spencer Professorship in Biology in 1997, Chernin has taught courses in molecular biology, developmental biology, organismal biology, biochemical methods, introduction to molecules and cells, genetics, virology and general biology. Formerly the biology department chair, Chernin has published and presented numerous papers on his research, earning an impressive list of grants along the way. A wrestler in high school, Chernin has served as a faculty sideline coach for the Bucknell football and field hockey teams, and he has been a strong advocate for the department’s faculty sideline coaching program. In 1986 he organized a biology department tailgate at a Bison football game, and over the years the tailgate has grown immensely in popularity and is now a staple on Bison football Saturdays in Lewisburg.

Athletics Administration terrie grieb

associate director of athletics, business & team services After 21 seasons and more than 300 victories as the head coach of the Bucknell softball program, Terrie Grieb turned her attention full-time to her administrative duties in the fall of 2000. In her role as Associate Director of Athletics for Business and Team Services, Grieb is responsible for all accounting and business services and the department’s overall budget and finance. She oversees purchasing, ticket operations, team transportation and lodging, human resources and the department’s clerical and secretarial staff. Grieb also oversees the department’s Student-Athlete Advisory Committee. Grieb was a highly regarded head coach at Bucknell from 1978-2000. She began her tenure with the Bison as the head volleyball and softball coach and assistant women’s basketball coach. Grieb holds the distinction of being the only woman in Bucknell history to coach three varsity sports in one season when she directed the softball, women’s basketball and volleyball teams in 1980-81. Excluding one sabbatical season, Grieb was the only coach Bucknell Softball had known. During her tenure, she was honored as conference coach of the year six times, collecting her final honor after the 1999 season. She garnered top mentor honors three times while a member of the Patriot League — a feat equaled by just one other league coach. Grieb compiled a 307-324-2 mark during her 21 years, including a Patriot League title in 1997. Grieb was also the first head coach of the Bucknell women’s volleyball program, directing the squad from 1978 through the 1984 season. Over those seven years, the Bison compiled a 90-96-1 mark, capped by a 22-11 season in 1983. After two seasons as the assistant women’s basketball coach, Grieb directed the women’s basketball team to a 7-12 mark in 1980-81. Following that season, she served as an assistant for the program until 1991. Grieb began her administrative duties as assistant athletic director for business services in 1997, establishing her relationship with the University’s finance, procurement and payroll offices. A native of Loganton, Pa., Grieb graduated from Lock Haven University in 1977 with a bachelor’s degree in health, physical education and recreation. She was a standout basketball and softball player for the Eagles.

todd newcomb

associate dir. of athletics, external affairs & Bison club Todd Newcomb, a 1988 Bucknell graduate, is in his 11th year as a member of the Bucknell staff and his ninth as Associate Director of Athletics for External Affairs and Director of the Bison Club. After two years as the department’s director of athletic communications, Newcomb now focuses his efforts towards this important position within the department. He is responsible for managing and directing the department’s fundraising, development and alumni relations programs. He works closely with the Development and Alumni Relations staff and is responsible for coordinating annual, planned, capital and special gifts for the department of athletics and recreation.

the voice of the bison: doug birdsong Doug Birdsong is in his 10th season as the “Voice of the Bison.” A 1987 Marshall University graduate who called play-by-play for college and high school athletics for 17 years before coming to Lewisburg, Birdsong was named Radio/TV Coordinator and Marketing Specialist at the University in July of 2000. In addition to calling the action for the Bison men’s basketball team, Birdsong is the play-by-play voice of the Bucknell football team, and he also broadcasts numerous events from many of Bucknell’s varsity programs. Birdsong has broadcast a number of NCAA Tournament contests during his tenure at Bucknell, and his call of the final seconds of the men’s basketball team’s 2005 upset of Kansas was repeated on a number of national outlets. He has also called NCAA action in women’s basketball, baseball, men’s lacrosse and men’s and women’s soccer. When Birdsong arrived at Bucknell he became just the second full-time “Voice of the Bison,” replacing Bob Behler, who held the position for more than 13 years before leaving to go to the University of Massachusetts. Birdsong came to Bucknell from AVC Communications in Cambridge, Ohio, where, as the Sports Director, he managed the playby-play crews on five radio stations for 11 years. He called play-by-play for Muskingum College football, men’s and women’s basketball, softball and volleyball, and also handled the same duties plus baseball for area high schools. Birdsong was also responsible for writing and producing 11 daily sportscasts focusing on the six area high schools and Muskingum College. Prior to his experience at AVC, Birdsong worked at WTCR in Huntington, W.Va., after

graduating from Marshall. While he was a student at Marshall, he worked for WMUL as its Sports Director and called football, basketball and baseball for the Thundering Herd. In addition, Birdsong produced and hosted a weekly one-hour sports talk show. He has won numerous awards, including citations from the Pennsylvania Association of Broadcasters for “Best Local Sporting Event Coverage” two years in a row. Birdsong has also won four Outstanding Sports Operation for Playby-Play citations from the Associated Press in Ohio, and two from the Associated Press in West Virginia. In 1999, he was chosen as the Eastern Ohio Interscholastic Athletic Administrators Association Media Person of the Year.
