Big Red Information
Steve Donahue Ninth Year at Cornell • Ursinus ‘84 The Robert E. Gallagher ‘44 Head Coach of Men’s Basketball Steve Donahue completed his eighth season as head basketball coach at Cornell and his energetic leadership has helped the Big Red basketball program gain a new level of national respect as a perennial challenger for the Ivy League title, culminating in leading the 2007-08 team to its first Ancient Eight title and NCAA tournament bid in 20 years. A tremendous motivator, Donahue has set lofty goals for his program. While remaining at the top of the Ivy League standings is the immediate challenge, building a program that consistently competes for Ivy League titles and NCAA berths is the main focus. His team has the second-best Ivy record over the last four years (39-17). He was recognized for his work by being named a court coach by U.S.A. Basketball for the Under-18 national team trials in Washington, D.C., in July of 2008. In each successive season, the quality of play by the Big Red has steadily improved. Donahue has coached and or recruited six of the school’s top 20 all-time leading scorers, an Ivy League Player of the Year, three Ivy League Rookie of the Year players, two NABC all-district selections, four Academic All-District picks and two Academic All-Americans. The 2007-08 district Coach of the Year according to the National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC), the United States Basketball Writers’ Association (USBWA) and CollegeInsider.com (Hugh Durham National Mid-Major Coach of the Year finalist), Donahue directed the 2007-08 Big Red to a 22-6 record and the program’s first Ivy title in 20 years. Cornell became the 13th team in league history to go unbeaten (14-0) and set school records for wins (22), Ivy wins (14), consecutive wins (16), points (2,136) and 3-point field goals made (228) in a season, as well as highest free-throw percentage (.761). Four players were named to the All-Ivy team, including Ivy League Player of the Year Louis Dale. Dale became the second Big Red player to earn the honor, and the second sophomore in league history to capture the award. He was joined as a unanimous first-team selection by classmate Ryan Wittman. Juniors Jeff Foote and Adam Gore were also second-team picks. Donahue was honored during the summer of 2008 to participate with U.S.A.’s Basketball’s Under-18 national team as a court coach during a three-day tryout camp. He was part of a staff, led by Davidson’s Bob McKillop, that helped prepare the team for a silver medalist showing at the FIBA U18 Championship in Formosa, Argentina. Coming off a 16-12 season in 2006-07, the first winning campaign for the Big Red since 1996-97, Cornell had high expectations with the return of eight of the squad’s top 10 scorers and three All-Ivy players (Louis Dale, Adam Gore, Ryan Wittman). The squad posted a 9-5 Ancient Eight record, the most conference wins since 1992-93, while the team finished in the top three in the league standings for the third-straight season. Despite losing the team’s leading scorer and reigning Ivy League Rookie of the Year, Adam Gore, in the season opener, Cornell posted a victory at Northwestern (Big Ten) and closed the season 12-5 after the calendar turned to 2007. Donahue’s 2005-06 team matched the previous season’s win total both overall (13) and in Ivy play (8) while recording back-to-back winning Ancient Eight seasons for the first time since the 1986-87 and 1987-88 teams under Mike Dement. Cornell finished in third place in the final league standings, as both Lenny Collins and Adam Gore earned second-team All-Ivy honors, while
Gore was named the Ivy League Rookie of the Year. The team also won a school record five Ivy League road games. The 2004-05 Ivy League Coach of the Year according to CollegeInsider.com, Donahue’s Big Red squad earned its highest Ivy finish in 17 years with its second-place effort and claimed its first winning Ancient Eight campaign (8-6) since the 1992-93 season. It was only the seventh time in school history that Cornell finished second in Ivy play. Among the many highlights of the season was a sweep of Princeton for the first time in 20 years and the first win at Jadwin Gymnasium in 19 years. The Big Red swept a Yale-Brown weekend for the first time since 1999-2000, hit a school and Carrier Dome record 15 3-pointers against No. 7 Syracuse and defeated St. Bonaventure of the Atlantic 10 on the road in what Jay Bilas of ESPN had called one of the five toughest places to play in the country. The Big Red had two players named All-Ivy (Lenny Collins - first team, Eric Taylor - honorable mention) for the first time since 1997. The team’s 13 wins overall were the most since that same 1996-97 campaign. In 2003-04, Donahue led a team with just one senior to its third-straight season of improvement. The 11 wins overall were the most by a Big Red team in five years, as were the club’s six Ivy wins. Cornell improved its scoring average nearly 10 points per game, went from a -3.0 to a +2.3 rebound margin and lowered its opponent field goal percentage (ranking second in Ivy League play at .426). Cornell’s pressure defense generated 236 steals, good for second in the Ivy League and a school record.

This summer, Donahue spent a week in July as a court coach for the U.S. Under-18 national team tryouts in Washington, D.C. The team, under the direction of Davidson’s head coach Bob McKillop, also featured VCU’s Anthony Grant and Georgetown’s John Thompson III as assistant coaches. The team won the silver medal at the 2008 FIBA U18 championship in Formosa, Argentina, falling to the host team 77-64 in the gold medal game.

“Steve Donahue is a coach’s coach. Cornell is always well-prepared for their opponents and they always play extremely hard. He has changed the culture at Cornell by recruiting players that share his values and vision — to compete for an Ivy League championship.” -- 2006-07 National Coach of the Year Tony Bennett, head coach at Washington State
2007-08 Review
“Coach Donahue is one of the true teachers of the game. His teams play with a high basketball IQ that allows them a chance to beat anyone. His personality alone makes young men want to play for him. I love the way Steve coaches and the way Cornell plays the game.” -- John Beilein, head coach at Michigan
Meet The Big Red
“Sometimes teams come here (Cameron Indoor) and get real tight. Other times, they’re so loose that they’re not afraid to lose, not afraid to fail, not afraid to make mistakes. That’s where Cornell was, and that’s really good preparation on their part. As a result, you have to be real sharp because the crowd, the venue, it adds no pressure on them. That was a well-coached team that we needed to beat tonight.” -- Hall of Fame coach Mike Krzyzewski, head coach at Duke

What Coaches Are Saying About Steve Donahue:
Big Red Information
Donahue developed Ka’Ron Barnes into a first-team All-Ivy selection in 2004, the Big Red’s first player to be honored as one of the league’s top five players in seven seasons. During the off-season, Donahue and the Big Red made its first foreign trip, spending 10 days in Australia. While there, Cornell competed against semi-pro clubs, going 3-1 leading into the 2003-04 campaign. Donahue’s 2002-03 squad nearly doubled its previous season’s win total with its 9-18 finish, while its fifth-place ranking in the Ivy League was its highest since 1999. Barnes was named second-team All-Ivy League, while Lenny Collins earned the Ancient Eight’s Rookie of the Year Award. As part of his philosophy, Donahue has accepted the gauntlet thrown down by the top programs in the Ivy League and upgraded the non-conference schedule. Cornell has played an NCAA finalist twice in the last five years, including eventual national champion Syracuse in 2002-03. In 2003-04, the Big Red hosted eventual national runner-up Georgia Tech. Donahue’s Big Red has regularly played teams from power conferences such as the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC), Atlantic 10, Big Ten, Big East and Mountain West Conferences. Off the court, Cornell players are expected to succeed in the classroom and contribute in their community. Big Red players make appearances in local schools, speaking to students of the importance of a good education. Donahue became the fourth Robert E. Gallagher ‘44 Coach of Men’s Basketball at Cornell on Sept. 6, 2000. He wasted little time making an impact on and off the court. Despite joining the program a little more than two months before the team’s first contest in 2000, Donahue began molding his team. By the end of the season his emphasis on hard work and dedication to the program paid off in a win over Ivy League champ and NCAA participant Princeton and a two-point loss to league runner-up Penn, teams that defeated Cornell by a combined 40 points during the first turn through the Ivy schedule. Despite a rash of injuries that cost the Big Red 54 missed games among its top eight players during the 2001-02 season, Donahue led a team that relied on eight freshmen, the most of any Division I school in the country, to a nearly identical record as in his first season. The team’s biggest improvement could be seen in its defensive play, as the squad lowered its field goal percentage defense from .463 in Donahue’s first season to .428 in his second year. The squad also broke school records for 3-pointers made in a game (14) and a season (200) as Donahue’s full-court offensive philosophy began to take shape. Renowned as a top recruiter and for his offensive mind while an assistant at the University of Pennsylvania, Donahue learned the trade from some of the nation’s top coaches. Donahue served as an assistant coach and recruiting coordinator under Fran Dunphy at Penn for 10 years. During his tenure as a Quaker assistant, he was heavily involved in the recruitment of five of Penn’s top 20 all-time scorers. He was also instrumental in the Quakers winning six Ivy League titles in his last eight years there, advancing to the NCAA tournament five times and earning national recognition with a top 25 ranking. His duties included practice preparation, game coaching, scouting and academic monitoring of players. Donahue served as the head coach of the Quakers’ junior varsity program from 1990-95 and compiled a record of 75-12 (.862). He also served as the director of the Penn Basketball Coaches Clinic and the director of the Quaker Basketball Camp. Prior to joining Dunphy’s staff at Penn, Donahue coached for two seasons at Philadelphia University. During his two seasons there, the Rams won 20 games each season and also competed in the 1989 NCAA Division II tournament. Thus, since 1989, Donahue has been an integral part of programs that have gone to seven postseason tournaments. Plus, he has the unique experience of qualifying for the NCAA tournament in all three divisions (including the Division III tourney as a player with Ursinus). Donahue served as an assistant for current Lafayette head coach Fran O’Hanlon at Monsignor Bonner HS, helping to guide Bonner to the 1987-88 Philadelphia Catholic League championship. Donahue began his coaching career at Springfield HS under Skip Werley, his former college coach. He served as head coach of the junior varsity and assistant coach for the varsity team for three seasons. It was during his playing days at Ursinus College that Donahue developed his leadership skills. He captained both the baseball and basketball teams as a senior, earning four letters in both sports. As a freshman, Donahue helped the basketball squad finish 23-8 and advance to the NCAA Division III tournament. He graduated in 1984 with a bachelor of arts degree in economics and business administration. Donahue and his wife, Pamela, reside in Ithaca with their four children, Taylor, Matthew, Katie and Jack.
Fifth Year at Cornell • Ithaca ‘00 Assistant Coach Zach Spiker returns to the Big Red for his fifth season as an assistant coach under Steve Donahue. During each of his first four seasons, Spiker’s enthusiasm and knowledge of the game helped the Big Red to upper division finishes in the Ivy League. He has also been instrumental in helping Cornell’s recruiting efforts the last four years, culminating in the Big Red winning its first Ancient Eight title in 20 years during the 2007-08 season. With Spiker on the sidelines, Cornell closed its 2007-08 season by setting school records for wins (22) and consecutive wins (16), while also establishing marks for season points and 3-pointers made, as well as free-throw percentage. Cornell became the 13th team in conference history to finish with a perfect league slate (14-0) and was the first non-Penn or Princeton team to accomplish that feat. Louis Dale was named Ivy League Player of the Year, while Ryan Wittman was an NABC All-District selection. Both Jeff Foote and Adam Gore also were named to the All-Ivy second team. Spiker was part of a 2006-07 club that won 16 games and finished third in the Ivy League with nine wins, surpassing the previous year’s total. Ryan Wittman was named Ivy League Rookie of theYear, while Louis Dale was an All-Ivy selection. He also assisted in the development of All-Ivy selection Andrew Naeve. In 2005-06, Spiker helped the Big Red to its second-consecutive winning season in Ancient Eight play for the first time in 18 years. Adam Gore was named Ivy League Rookie of the Year and joined Lenny Collins on the All-Ivy second team. The 2004-05 Big Red earned its highest Ivy finish in 17 years and claimed its first winning Ancient Eight campaign (8-6) since the 1992-93 season. The Big Red had two players named All-Ivy (Lenny Collins - first team, Eric Taylor - honorable mention) for the first time since 1997. The team’s 13 wins overall was the most since that same 1996-97 campaign. Spiker joined the staff in June 2004, returning to Ithaca after spending the previous two seasons at West Virginia, where he served as an administrative assistant under head coach John Beilein, helping the team to a pair of Big East tournament appearances and an invitation to participate in the National Invitation Tournament (NIT) in 2003-04. While in Morgantown, Spiker was responsible for managing on-campus recruiting visits, opponent scouting, postgame film breakdown and overseeing the team’s daily event schedules. Prior to joining the Mountaineer staff, Spiker served from 2000-02 as a graduate assistant coach at Winthrop University under head coach Gregg Marshall, helping the Eagles advance to a pair of NCAA tournaments after winning the Big South tournament in successive seasons. While at Winthrop, Spiker was responsible for team travel, film exchange, directing camps, coordinating recruiting mailouts and managing on-campus visits. He created the school’s first coaching clinic and the team camp. Spiker played two seasons of basketball at Ithaca College before serving as a student assistant coach as a senior, helping lead the Bombers to the 2000 ECAC championship, the first such basketball title in school history. Spiker graduated from Ithaca College in May 2000 with a bachelor’s degree in communications and earned a master’s degree in sport management from West Virginia in the spring of 2004. Spiker and his wife, Jennifer, live in Ithaca and are expecting their first child in February.
The Spiker File Coach Donahue on Coach Spiker: “Zach has really provided us with something we needed. His ability as an organizer, particularly in recruiting, has been a terrific asset. His experience at other successful Division I programs enables us to have a solid foundation on how to go about recruiting. He has great energy and a great passion for the game. He went to Ithaca College and knows the area. He has been a great addition to the program.”
• Spiker has been on the staff of three NCAA tournament teams. • Since joining the Cornell program in June 2004, the Big Red has posted a 39-17 Ivy League record.

Meet The Coaches
Nat Graham is in his fourth year as an assistant coach at Cornell under head coach Steve Donahue. Graham, who played three seasons at Penn when Donahue was the team’s assistant coach, came to the Cornell staff after spending several seasons as an assistant coach at both the University of Western Ontario and the University of Toronto. In his first three seasons, Graham has helped Cornell to 51 victories, an Ivy League title and three top-three Ivy league finishes. He has assisted in the development of Ivy League Player of the Year Louis Dale, Rookies of the Year Adam Gore and Ryan Wittman, as well as All-Ivy selections Lenny Collins, Jeff Foote and Andrew Naeve. A fiery competitor on the sidelines and on the practice floor, Graham is also an excellent recruiter who has developed strong relationships with future Big Red student-athletes as well as current members of the team. Graham was instrumental in the Big Red posting school records for wins (22) and consecutive wins (16) in 2007-08. Cornell became the 13th team in conference history to finish with a perfect league slate (14-0) and was the first non-Penn or Princeton team to accomplish that feat. At Western Ontario, Graham helped the team to the Canadian national tournament and also was in charge of conducting clinics and summer leagues along with his regular coaching duties. At Toronto, he was part of a staff that helped the program make a substantial turnaround (9-24 to 17-17) that included a playoff victory. Graham served as the team’s recruiting coordinator and also ran multiple high school tournaments as well as the school’s successful summer camp. Prior to his stint at Toronto, Graham spent two years coaching the boy’s and girl’s varsity and junior varsity basketball teams at MM Robinson HS in Burlington, Ont., and spent two years coaching the Burlington Panthers basketball club squad. The Panthers reached the quarterfinals of the provincial championships and featured three Division I players. After Graham lettered twice in three seasons at Penn and was part of two undefeated Ivy League championship teams, he transferred to Western Ontario. At Western, Graham was a two-time first-team allleague and All-Canada selection. He went on to play for two seasons professionally in Ireland and Denmark before returning to coaching. Graham recently completed his master’s degree in Multicultural Education. He and his wife, Kelly, reside in Ithaca with their 1-year-old son, Silas.

Second Year at Cornell • Hobart ‘05 Assistant Coach Woody Kampmann enters his second season as an assistant coach for the Big Red. He joined the Cornell coaching staff after spending the 2006-07 season as an assistant coach to former Steve Donahue assistant Izzi Metz at Hobart. Kampmann brings tremendous energy to the sidelines for the Cornell staff. In his first season, Kampmann helped Cornell to its first Ivy League title in 20 years, setting school records for wins (22) and conference victories (14). Cornell became the 13th team in conference history to finish with a perfect league slate (14-0) and was the first non-Penn or Princeton team to accomplish that feat. Kampmann helped the 2006-07 Hobart squad to an 11-14 mark and a 7-7 conference record, and helped the team improve throughout the season. The Statesmen won their final four games and five of its final six games overall. He helped in the development of first-team all-league selection John Grazioli and second-team pick Mike Manning. Prior to his stint at Hobart, Kampmann spent the 2005-06 season as an assistant coach at Williams. While at Williams, Kampmann helped the Ephs to a 17-8 record while working primarily with the perimeter players. He also served as head coach of the junior varsity program. As a college senior, Kampmann served as a student assistant coach at his alma mater, helping guide Hobart to a 16-11 record and a first-place finish in the league regular season standings. He was part of a coaching staff that was voted as the league’s best. The team earned a bid to the ECAC tournament, and he helped the Statesmen to a victory over Plattsburgh in the quarterfinals for the program’s first-ever postseason triumph. Kampmann’s collegiate playing career began with two seasons as a letter winner at Colby College before transferring to Hobart. He earned one letter as a junior before transitioning to his role as a student assistant coach. As a young coach, Kampmann has been actively involved on the summer camp circuit, working as a clinician at Princeton and the Eastern Invitational Basketball Camps. Kampmann is a 2005 graduate of Hobart with a degree in American studies.
The Kampmann File Coach Donahue on Coach Kampmann: “Woody brings a new energy and a similar approach to the program. As a young coach, Woody is mature in his approach to the game and the players and I expect that his personality will go a long way in impressing potential recruits. We are lucky to have Woody join the Big Red.”

2008-09 Men’s Basketball Outlook
The old sports axiom that it’s not easy to win a championship, but even harder to defend one, will certainly be put to the test when the Big Red men’s basketball team reconvenes in October for practice. With the primary pieces back in place for Cornell, it will have every opportunity to set itself up for similar success in 2008-09. The 2007-08 Cornell men’s basketball season was one for the ages. A school-record 22 wins and a 16-game win streak, a perfect 14-0 Ivy League slate and the program’s third NCAA tournament appearance highlighted one of the most exciting seasons in the 110-year history of Big Red basketball. Now what can the Big Red do for an encore? Junior Louis Dale First off, they can forget last season. The 2008-09 Cornell basketball team will have to start from the beginning, but this time with all the advantages of championship experience to go along with their significant talent. Last year’s run does little, and at the same time means everything, to repeating its success. Luckily for head coach Steve Donahue, the reigning NABC District Coach of the Year, the cast of characters remains largely the same as they attempt to build on the success of a season ago. After methodically building a program to stand on solid ground, Donahue returns his most talented and deepest group yet. Ivy League Player of the Year Louis Dale and unanimous first-team All-Ivy selection Ryan Wittman are among four starters returning to Ithaca. Guard Adam Gore, who suffered a preseason injury and is expected to return in January for the Ivy League season, and center Jeff Foote, both second-team All-Ivy players, join junior post player Alex Tyler to provide a tremendous core to build upon as the season nears. Add in several experienced veterans fully capable of playing larger roles this season, as well as three newcomers primed to contribute, and the Big Red has the ingredients to again make a name for itself nationally. The Big Red will test itself against a top-rated schedule that includes traditional national powers like Syracuse, Indiana and Minnesota, as well as expected NCAA tournament teams like Siena and Saint Joseph’s. A trip to the NIT Preseason Tip-Off, with an opportunity to advance to play in fabled Madison Square Garden, will also provide motivation to click early in the season as the Big Red attempts to build for Ivy League play. bers in league play, posting averages of 14.4 points, 5.0 assists and 4.6 Backcourt Returning arguably the best backcourt in the Ivy League, the Big rebounds per game.

He also worked backup point guard in 2007-08. Battle is a slasher who can score in- on improving his ability to score off the side or out and has great size on the perimeter. He has been one of the dribble, something that he had already team’s top defenders off the bench the last two seasons. The Wilming- improved on between his freshman ton, N.C., native played a large role on last year’s Ivy championship and sophomore seasons, as well as team, averaging 9.5 minutes per game. He was asked to sacrifice his numbers a season ago for the good of the team, but provided energy and spark off the bench in several key games. Mullen is a much different type of guard than Battle. A strong, physical guard capable of scoring and rebounding with the frontcourt players, Mullen is a good shooter from long range. He is one of the team’s toughest and most competitive players. Mullen played in 14 contests off the bench as a junior. In 30 total minutes, Mullen scored 19 points with six rebounds and added six assists while turning the ball over just twice. He has shown in his three varsity seasons that he is fully capable of stepping into the lineup and contributing in a big way when called upon, as evidenced by his sophomore season stretch where he played nearly 13 minutes per game off the bench.

Gore in the starting lineup is Reeves. The junior has shown flashes of All-Ivy talent with his ability to shoot the basketball and finish in the lane above the rim. A tremendous athlete, Reeves has been an efficient scorer as a reserve in his first two seasons, but after a summer of hard work, is ready to grab a share of the limelight. He saw action in 27 contests as a sophomore, averaging 11.6 minutes while scoring 3.5 points and grabbing 1.5 rebounds per game. In a contest that essentially clinched the Ivy League title a season ago, Reeves exploded for 14 points off the bench in a showdown against Brown. He hit on 5-of-5 field goals and all four 3-pointers in the victory. Another player who might emerge and play major minutes is Wroblewski. Though just a freshman, the 6-0 guard was a coveted recruit in the Ivy League and like Gore, can play either guard position. Also like his senior counterpart, Wroblewski can bury the 3-pointer and will be one of the team’s top shooters. His ability to create for teammates with the basketball and his quickness on both ends of the floor make him an obvious candidate to see minutes in 2008-09.

The Schedule
Matchups against Syracuse, Indiana, Minnesota, Saint Joseph’s and defending MAAC champion Siena highlight the 2008-09 slate, as does the team’s first-ever appearance in the NIT Preseason Tip-Off. The Big Red is guaranteed seven games against 2007-08 postseason teams that won 20 or more games. Additionally, the Big Red could play as many as eight games against postseason squads and nine against 20-win clubs, depending on its NIT opponents. Overall, Cornell’s non-conference opponents posted a 235-150 record (.610) and a 124-80 mark (.608) in their respective conferences a year ago. The Big Red opens the regular season at home and will honor the 2007-08 Ivy champions with a banner raising prior to its contest against provisional Division I newcomer South Dakota. The Coyotes went 22-7 last year against a Division II schedule, falling in the first round of the NCAA tournament. Cornell will make its first-ever appearance in the NIT Preseason Tip-Off when it heads to Chestnut Hill, Mass., on the campus of Boston College for a first-round contest against traditional Big East power St. John’s. Depending on the outcome of that game, Cornell will play either Loyola (Md.) or the host Eagles in the consolation game or with a spot in the semifinals on the line. Cornell is guaranteed four games in the tournament. If it can win both games in the Boston College pod, it would advance to Madison Square Garden from Nov. 26-28. If it is one of the 12 teams that do not advance to MSG, the Big Red will be reseeded and assigned to one of three campus sites for two more games. Defending Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference champion Siena (23-11) will host the Big Red at the Times Union Center in Albany, N.Y., on Saturday, Nov. 22. Cornell won a matchup between two of the top mid-major programs in the East a season ago by a score of 83-77 at Newman Arena. Three major conference schools will bring the Big Red in over the span of six days, beginning with a trip to Bloomington, Ind., to face the Hoosiers (25-8) on Sunday, Nov. 30. The game will be a homecoming for Monrovia, Ind., native Adam Gore and will send Ryan Wittman to play in the same arena that saw his father, Randy, earn Big Ten Player of the Year honors. Three days later, Cornell will make a trip up I-81 to face preseason Top 20 foe Syracuse (21-14) on Wednesday, Dec. 3 at the Carrier Dome. The Big Red will attempt to snap a 30-game losing streak to the
Big East power and Central New York rival in the process. The week wraps up on Saturday, Dec. 6, when Cornell visits NIT qualifier and 20-game winner Minnesota (20-14), its second trip to Big Ten country in a week. It will be a homecoming for Wittman, who hails from Eden Prairie. Cornell will face a pair of Atlantic 10 foes from Philadelphia in La Salle (15-17) and St. Joseph’s (21-11) after final exams and prior to the Christmas break. The Big Red will welcome the Explorers to Newman Arena on Dec. 20, then heads to the City of Brotherly Love to play the Hawks at the Palestra on Dec. 22. St. Joe’s was an NCAA tournament qualifier and went 21-11 a season ago in the A-10. The Big Red closes 2008 and opens 2009 with four of its next six games at home prior to the start of the Ivy League season. Cornell returns from Christmas for the first-ever meeting with America East challenger Boston University (14-17) on Monday, Dec. 29, then meets Quinnipiac (15-15) on Wednesday, Dec. 31, in a rematch of last year’s New Year’s Eve classic that saw the Big Red overcome a nine-point deficit in the final two minutes for an 86-84 overtime victory. Donahue will welcome his alma mater for the first time when Cornell faces Division III Final Four participant Ursinus (29-4) on Saturday, Jan. 3, to kick off the new year. A 1984 graduate who earned four letters in both basketball and baseball, Donahue sports a perfect 8-0 record against non-Division I opponents as a head coach. Cornell and Bucknell (12-19) renew their long-standing rivalry on Tuesday, Jan. 6, with both teams attempting to take the lead in the all-time series. The two squads have split their 42 games right down the middle, with the Bison capturing the last five meetings. Wrapping up the non-conference schedule will be a road contest against Division I newcomer Bryant (18-13) on Jan 12. The Bulldogs will play an 11-game Division I schedule in its provisional season before joining the Northeast Conference for the 2009-10 campaign. After opening defense of its Ancient Eight title at Columbia on Saturday, Jan. 17, the Big Red will play five of its next seven conference contests at home. A return trip by the Lions on Jan. 24 is followed by home games against Brown and Yale on the final two days of January. February will have Cornell on the road three of the four weekends, beginning with a trip to Princeton and Penn on Feb. 6 and 7. The only home weekend of the month will pit the Big Red against Harvard and Dartmouth on Feb. 13 and 14. Cornell then heads to Yale and Brown, followed by contests with the Big Green and the Crimson on the return trip on Feb. 27 and 28. The Big Red closes out the regular season at home against perennial Ivy League powers Penn and Princeton on March 6 and 7 in Newman Arena.

of Colorado and Salt Lake Community College, Van Burck will provide a physical presence at 6-11 and 255 pounds. His ability to set great screens for the Big Red shooters and to get easy baskets on the offensive glass will also prove instrumental for the Big Red in 2008-09. One of the most promising prospects is Osgood, who will have a chance to play a significant role as a sophomore after seeing limited action as a rookie. An outstanding athlete, he can pull defenders out with his ability to shoot the basketball or go around them for easy baskets. Osgood is a solid rebounder who has the potential to develop as a shot blocker. He made 4-of-5 field goal attempts as a freshman and scored his first collegiate points on a dunk in transition against Alvernia College. Wire is a similar player to Kreefer with his basketball sense and passing ability. He is a physical and tough athlete who is versatile enough to play either forward position. Wire has also shown the poise to be called upon in big situations if needed. Keeping with the comparisons, Hill will remind some of a bigger version of Geoff Reeves. A strong shooter from the perimeter, Hill is an outstanding athlete and a solid defender. He has good court sense, but will not be pressed into action before he’s ready due to the team’s depth.

A skilled big man who brings tremendous passion and energy to the court, Foote became one of the most dominant post presences in the Ivy League. Foote can score in the post and is an exceptional passer for his size. He will also run the court in transition. A fan favorite at Newman Arena, he has good footwork in the post offensively and good timing to block and alter shots defensively. Foote also rebounds well in and out of his area. The 7-0 center is constantly improving after two and a half years without playing competitively. He added 20 pounds to his frame during the offseason, allowing him to be even more of a force with his added strength. As a junior Foote emerged quietly as a force to be reckoned with in the post after not playing basketball in two and a half years and earned second-team All-Ivy honors. The 7-0 center ended the season averaging 7.9 points, 6.3 rebounds and 1.4 blocked shots per game while playing in 22 games off the bench. He shot 55 percent from the floor in 21.5 minutes per game. Foote ranked fifth in the Ivy League in rebounding and third in blocked shots overall, while ranking third in defensive rebounding (4.45) and fourth in offensive rebounding (1.82). He ended the season with 11 double-figure scoring and four double-figure rebounding games to go along with four double-doubles. He paced the team in rebounding in 10 of his 22 contests. The junior had a career-best 18 points in a win over Princeton and notched double-doubles in Ivy play against Yale, Penn and Dartmouth. Foote opened his career in fine fashion, posting 10 points, 11 rebounds, four blocks and two steals in a loss at Bucknell. At St. Bonaventure Foote spent a year and a half at St. Bonaventure University, making the team as a walk-on during the fall of 2005-06. He redshirted his freshman season before leaving the program prior to the 2006-07 campaign. At Spencer-Van Etten HS Foote was a four-year letterwinner at Spencer-Van Etten HS, averaging 15 points, 13 rebounds and six blocked shots per game as a senior. He was a first-team all-league selection and was picked to play in the section’s Exceptional Senior All-Star game. Foote averaged over three blocks per game during his prep career and set a league record for rejections in a season. He also lettered once each in football and soccer. Personal Jeffrey Bernard Foote is the son of Don and Wanda Foote and has an older brother. His father played basketball at Niagara from 1976-79. He is enrolled in the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences.

Kreefer is an ever-improving big man who works well in the high post for the Big Red thanks to his ability to shoot the basketball. He will again be an important contributor in his senior season in large part because of his knack for being around the basketball and his passing ability. He causes problems against smaller players because of his size and strength, while bigger defenders are forced to come out on him thanks to his outside game.

ITHACA, N.Y. - The sophomore tandem of Louis Dale and Ryan Wittman combined for 49 points and 15 rebounds to help Cornell snap an 18-game losing streak to Penn, topping the three-time defending Ivy League champions 87-74 in front of a sold-out Newman Arena. Wittman had a career-high 25 points and added six rebounds, including hitting four second-half treys that turned the tide, and Dale added a career-high 24 points to go along with nine rebounds and four assists in the victory. Adam Gore chipped in with 14 points, including a perfect 8-of-8 day at the charity stripe. Andreas Schreiber netted 23 points and ripped down nine boards to lead the Penn attack, while freshman guard Harrison Gaines had an impressive 19-point, seven-assist, zero-turnover effort off the bench.

Cornell 71, Princeton 64 March 8, 2008 — Jadwin Gymnasium
PRINCETON, N.J. - Cornell completed a historic Ivy League campaign, posting its first perfect season with a 71-64 victory over Princeton at Jadwin Gymnasium. The Big Red improved to 22-5 overall and 14-0 in Ivy League play, becoming the 13th team in league history to post an unbeaten season. The victory made Cornell the first team other than Penn or Princeton to complete an unbeaten conference slate, and also made the Big Red the fourth team since the 1957-58 campaign to sweep the Penn-Princeton weekend. Jason Hartford had 15 points and eight rebounds, including a key offensive putback late in the contest, while Louis Dale had a dominating second half and ended the contest with a game-high 21 points to go along with four assists and three rebounds, while Ryan Wittman notched 16 points to go along with four rebounds and four assists. Cornell shot 52 percent from the floor and overcame an uncharacteristically poor 6-of-16 effort from the free-throw line. Princeton’s Kareem Maddox had 16 points and Nick Lake had 15 off the bench, while senior Kyle Koncz notched 10 points. Cornell (22-5, 14-0 Ivy) Min.

No. 11 Stanford 77, Cornell 53 March 20, 2008 — The Honda Center
ANAHEIM, Calif. - The greatest season in Cornell men’s basketball history came to an end with a 77-53 loss to third-seeded Stanford at the Honda Center in the first round of the 2008 NCAA tournament. A stifling Cardinal defense proved too much for the Big Red, limiting the 14th-seeded Cornell squad to 30.5 percent shooting for the game, including 15.6 percent in the first half. Louis Dale, the 2007-08 Ivy League Player of the Year, scored a team-high 12 points and added six rebounds and two assists, while Adam Gore (11 points) and Alex Tyler (10 points) were also in double figures. Kenny Brown led Stanford in scoring with 18 points on 6-of-8 shooting (4-of-5 from 3-point range), while Robin Lopez made 7-of-9 shots for 14 points and added five blocked shots. Cornell (22-6) Min.

ITHACA, N.Y. - It was a night 20 years in the making and eight years in production. On the night Cornell clinched its first outright Ivy League title since 1988, Steve Donahue saw everything he might have envisioned when he took the Big Red head coaching job eight years ago. With a sold-out Newman Arena crowd backing an undefeated championship team, Cornell became the first Division I men’s team to clinch a berth in the 2007-08 NCAA tournament with an 86-53 victory over Harvard.Adam Gore had a team-high 14 points, including hitting four 3-pointers, while Ryan Wittman added 13 points and six rebounds and Louis Dale had 12 points and eight assists.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa. - Louis Dale had 24 points to lead five Cornell players in double figures as the Big Red claimed a 94-92 shootout victory over Penn, snapping a 19-game losing streak at the Palestra in the process. Dale added seven assists, four rebounds, two steals and a blocked shot to his tally to pace the Big Red, who swept the Quakers for the first time since the 1988-89 campaign. Adam Gore hit for a season-best 19 points, including 14 points in the first half, Ryan Wittman chipped in with 17 and Alex Tyler had 16. Jeff Foote rounded out the double figure scorers with 12 points and 10 rebounds for his fourth double-double of the year. Three players did the majority of scoring for Penn, as Tyler Bernardini had 25, including a 5-of-10 effort from 3-point range, and Brian Grandieri notched 21 points to go along with seven rebounds. Harrison Gaines had 19 points and six assists while directing a Penn offense that shot 50 percent from the floor, including 55 percent in the first half. For the second time this season, the Big Red took Penn’s best shot and came out on top of the three-time defending champion, proving it worthy to represent the Ivy League.

Meet The Coaches
ITHACA, N.Y. - In a showdown between the two best teams in the Ivy League, Cornell’s role players made all the difference. Cornell’s bench outscored Brown’s 25-3 as the Big Red rallied from a 12-point first-half deficit to knock off the Bears 74-65 at Newman Arena. Adam Gore scored 15 of his 18 points in the first half, while reserves Jeff Foote (11 points, eight rebounds, two blocked shots) and Geoff Reeves (14 points) gave the home team a lift in front of 4,254 fans. Both Alex Tyler and Jason Hartford chipped in with nine points and five rebounds. The Big Red won despite uncharacteristically poor shooting games from its leading scorers, sophomores Ryan Wittman and Louis Dale. The pair shot just 4-of-20 from the floor and combined for 13 points, but the duo played solid all-around floor games. Wittman added six points and two steals, while Dale had nine assists and just two turnovers. Brown had four players in double figures, with seniors Damon Huffman (19 points) and Mark McAndrew (18 points, three rebounds, two steals) leading the way. Chris Skrelja had 12 points, 11 rebounds and four assists to fill out the stat line and Matt Mullery chipped in 10 points.

Cornellians have been successful in the NBA (both on the hardwood and in the board rooms) and have often challenged the best teams in the country. From Cornell Hall of Famers Howard Ortner and Sam MacNeil to Albert Sharpe and Royner Greene, Big Red coaches have routinely put their teams in positions to compete for championships, claiming six EIBL or Ivy League titles.

The Roosevelt, N.Y., native averaged 20.0 points per game as a senior, helping the Big Red to a 14-12 mark and an 8-6 Ivy League record. Bantum, a 1990 inductee into the school’s Hall of Fame, closed his career as Cornell’s all-time scoring leader (1,411 points), as well as holding records for the best career field goal percentage (.622), most career free throw attempts (617) and most career starts (100).

Louis Dale — 2008 Dale became the second sophomore in Ivy league history to earn Player of the Year honors after ranking second on the team and sixth in the Ivy League in scoring (13.7 ppg.) and leading the Ancient Eight in assists (4.9 apg.). The three-time Ivy League Player of the Week made a school record 52 consecutive shots from the charity stripe.

Cornell became the 13th team in conference history to finish with a perfect league slate (14-0) and was the first non-Penn or Princeton team to accomplish that feat.

History and Records
1966-67 Cornell used a career-high 37 points from Gregg Morris to topple Adolph Rupp and Kentucky 92-77 on Dec. 28 in Lexington, Ky. It was a loss which came ‘as a shock’ to the Baron of the Bluegrass, as the Wildcats didn’t lead at all during the game. In Feb., Princeton came into town ranked No. 2 nationally with a record of 20-1 and with first place in the Ivy League up for grabs. Cornell pulled out a 62-56 over the Tigers. Once again it was Blaine Aston who gave the Big Red the lead for good with just under 3:00 minutes remaining.

Meet The Big Red
1950-51 The Big Red win 20 games for the first time. First team all-Ivy League selection and senior co-captain Paul Gerwin led the team, averaging 13.4 points, 8.6 rebounds and 4.8 assists for the Big Red.
Cornell has had many connections to the NBA over the years, as three former student-athletes have played in the league with a total of 12 players being drafted over the years. Nat Militzok was the first Cornellian to play in the NBA, seeing time for both the Toronto Huskies of the BAA (the forerunner of the NBA) and New York Knicks during the 1946-47 season. In 57 total games, Militzok averaged 4.3 points. He had the honor of playing in what is considered the first NBA game for the Knicks against the Huskies in Toronto on Nov. 1, 1946. The longest career belonged to Ed Peterson, who played a season with the Syracuse Nationals in 1949-50 before suiting up for the Tri-City Blackhawks the following year. In 115 NBA games, Peterson averaged 7.0 points. Gene Berce played three games for Tri-City during the 1949-50 season after being drafted by the New York Knicks a year earlier. He averaged 3.3 points and 0.7 assists. The highest drafted player was Lee Morton ‘54, going 25th overall in the third round to the Rochester Royals in the 1954 draft. Both George Farley ‘60 (fifth round, 34th overall in 1960) and Louis Jordan ‘59 (6th round, 42nd overall in 1959) have also gone among the top 50 players drafted. Additionally, former Big Red letter winners Cody Toppert ‘05 and Jeffrion Aubry ‘99 have played in the National Basketball Development League (NBDL), the NBA’s sanctioned minor league. Off the court, Bryan Colangelo ‘87 was named the NBA’s Executive of the Year in 2005 as the team president and general manager of the Phoenix Suns and currently serves in the same role for the Toronto Raptors organization.

In the mid 1800s, two New York state senators, Ezra Cornell and Andrew Dickson White, shared the bold dream of founding a “truly great university.” Cornell, a plain-spoken inventor, wanted “an institution where any person can find instruction in any study,” including the mechanical arts and agriculture. White, a scholarly graduate of Oxford and Yale, yearned to establish a university where “truth shall be taught for truth’s sake” in the arts and sciences. Together they created a nonsectarian university that was the first in the eastern United States to admit women and that pioneered the concept of elective courses. Their egalitarian vision and innovative ideas, which set Cornell apart at its opening in 1868, continue to guide the university today. Cornell includes 13 colleges and schools. On the Ithaca campus are the seven undergraduate units—the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences; the College of Architecture, Art, and Planning; the College of Arts and Sciences; the College of Engineering; the School of Hotel Administration; the College of Human Ecology; and the School of Industrial and Labor Relations—as well as four graduate and professional units: the Graduate School, the Law School, the Johnson Graduate School of Management, and the College of Veterinary Medicine. (The Weill Medical College and the Weill Graduate School of Medical Sciences are in New York City.) An Ivy League university that is also the land grant institution of New York State, Cornell is a unique combination of public and private divisions committed to teaching, research, and public service. Cornell’s 13,700 undergraduates and 6,000 graduate and professional students come from all 50 states and more than 100 countries. Interdisciplinary study and research are
Cornell hallmarks, as is attention to undergraduate education. The university’s 2,200 faculty members are active teachers as well as researchers—Nobel laureates often conduct introductory courses— and the lines of traditional disciplines are easily crossed. Engineering students dabble in photography; theatre arts students explore the world of computers; physics majors learn landscape architecture. National Science Foundation studies on programs in research and development at U.S. universities consistently rank Cornell among the top 10 or 11 in total research and development expenditures, and in federally financed expenditures. Cornell ranks second among U.S. universities in funds allocated by the National Science Foundation for programs in academic science and engineering. Cornell has five national research centers: the Center for High Energy Synchrotron Studies, the Floyd R. Newman Laboratory of Nuclear Studies, the National Astronomy and Ionosphere Center (which operates the world’s largest radio-radar telescope, in

Cornell may be a cutting-edge research university, but that doesn’t mean undergraduate education is an afterthought. A Cornell undergrad could spend the morning in a meeting with a professor for an independent study and the afternoon in large survey courses like psych 101. Students here work hard. Besides attending classes, there’s reading, writing, and research, not to mention preparing for exams. But students still find time to build friendships, volunteer off campus, hold part-time jobs and play sports. And while some students spend their four years close to campus, many go farther afield. They study natural medicinals in South America, marine biology off the coast of Maine, and public policy in Albany, N.Y. In addition to universityrun programs in New York City, Washington, D.C., and Rome, Italy, Cornellians travel to sites around the world, polishing their language skills and broadening their horizons.

Arecibo, Puerto Rico), the Cornell Nanofabrication Facility, and the National Science and Technology Center for Computer Graphics and Scientific Visualization. The university also has four national resource centers: the Latin American Studies Program, the East Asia Program, the South Asia Program, and the Southeast Asia Program. Cornell University Library’s 17 Ithaca-campus units provide an array of reference, information, and instructional services. At the southeast edge of the Arts Quad, Olin and Kroch libraries house the largest concentration of resources in the humanities, social sciences, and area studies, including extensive Asia collections, and rare books, manuscripts, and archival materials. Mann Library, on the Ag Quad, has materials in agriculture, biology, biotechnology, and related fields. Other libraries specialize in African and African American studies, engineering, entomology, the fine arts, hotel management, industrial and labor relations, law, management, mathematics, music, the physical sciences, and veterinary medicine. Famed for its woodlands, gorges, and waterfalls, the 745-acre main campus is on a hilltop overlooking Ithaca, a lively city of about 30,000 situated at the southern end of 44-mile-long Cayuga Lake, in the Finger Lakes region of New York state. Campus attractions of special interest include the Johnson Museum of Art, the Cornell Plantations, and the Cornell Lab of Ornithology and Sapsucker Woods wildlife sanctuary. The heart of New York state’s wine-growing region is less than an hour away, as are the Corning Glass Center and Museum and the Watkins Glen auto circuit. New York City is about a four-hour drive from Ithaca.

At a research institution, scholars don’t just acquire knowledge — they help create it. Cornell’s faculty members have garnered such prizes as the Nobel and the Pulitzer, not to mention MacArthur “genius” grants and countless other honors. These same luminaries teach undergraduate classes and include students on their research teams. Cornell serves as a land grant institution, receiving funding from New York State for its colleges of Human Ecology, Agriculture and Life Sciences and Veterinary Medicine and for its School of Industrial and Labor Relations. In return, the university offers reduced tuition to state residents in those colleges and helps citizens apply the research generated here to improve the state’s economy and the health of its people. A network of more than 200,000 alumni around the world supports the efforts of current students by sponsoring internships, offering career counseling and mentorship, and providing much of the financial support that maintains the university’s world-class libraries, laboratories, and faculty. Four thousand courses offered by nearly 100 departments, more interdisciplinary programs than you’ll find at any other university in the country, research opportunities for undergraduates in nearly every field, and faculty-guided independent study give you the wherewithal to shape a program that speaks to your interests and passions and grows with you over your four years here.
Nestled in the heart of New York State’s beautiful Finger Lakes region is Tompkins County, with Ithaca at its center. Long known for the excellence of its educational and research institutions, and more recently for its multitude of scenic wonders, Ithaca is indeed, “Gorges.” • Ithaca and Tompkins County are located in the central Finger Lakes Region of New York State, five hours from New York City, three hours from Niagara Falls, two hours from Rochester and 4.5 hours from Philadelphia.

• The 14 counties in the Finger Lakes Region cover more than 9,000 square miles, or roughly the size of New Hampshire or Vermont, and slightly larger than the state of New Jersey. • Ithaca offers more restaurants per capita than New York City.
The beauty of Ithaca and the Cornell campus is unmatched. Ithaca is host to over 150 waterfalls, all of which lie within a 10-mile radius of downtown. Tompkins County is also home to three of the six gorge parks in New York state. Among the amazing sites is Taughannock Falls (above). At 215 feet high, Taughannock has a greater vertical drop than Niagara Falls. Below, Ithaca Falls is one of the more spectacular sights, located just minutes from the Cornell campus.
• The Sagan Planet Walk, built to honor the memory of Ithaca resident and Cornell University astronomer Carl Sagan, is a true-to-scale model of our solar system. It is one of the only walkable “planet walks” in the world. The Sciencenter, Ithaca’s hands-on museum and outdoor science playground, is the sponsor of the Sagan Planet Walk, and is one of eight museums involved in the partnership of educational attractions called the DISCOVERY TRAIL. Some others include the Museum of the Earth and Cornell’s Laboratory of Ornithology. • The downtown Ithaca Commons was named one of the New York’s top design projects of the century by the state chapter of the American Institute of Architects. • Ithaca was designated “America’s Most Enlightened City” by the Utne Reader in 1997.

Assistant Strength Coach
2007-08 Review
Tom Howley has been the strength and conditioning coach at Cornell since July 1995 and was promoted to assistant director of athletics in 2005. In that role, he oversees the design and implementation of athletic performance programs for Cornell’s 36 varsity sports. The comprehensive, year-round programs include strength and power development, mobility skill training and conditioning, and are implemented in a motivating, team-oriented environment. Prior to his arrival at Cornell, Howley was the assistant director of strength and conditioning at East Carolina University from 1991-1995. During these seasons, the Pirates participated in two bowl games (1992 Peach Bowl and 1995 Liberty Bowl), qualified for the NCAA baseball regional tournament (1994) and played in the NCAA basketball tournament (1993). Howley was a graduate assistant strength and conditioning coach at Auburn University from 1989-91, where he earned his master’s degree in exercise physiology. The Tigers were the 1989 Southeastern Conference co-champions, the 1990 Hall of Fame Bowl and the 1991 Peach Bowl champions. Howley also served as an assistant coach with the special teams. A 1988 graduate of Tulane, Howley earned a bachelor of arts degree in history and was a three-year letterman and two year starting offensive lineman on the football team. The Green Wave played in the 1987 Independence Bowl his senior year. He was the recipient of the New Orleans Quarterback Club Student-Athlete Award as a senior. Howley is an active participant in the Cornell University/Ithaca College chapter of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes. He and his wife, Amanda, reside in Ithaca with their daughter, Anna Corrine.

The Friedman Center
Champions are crowned during the season, but championships are earned long before competition begins. Cornell’s 900 varsity athletes have exclusive access to one of the newest and best training facilities in the nation—the 8,000-squarefoot Friedman Strength and Conditioning Center. Completed in June 1997, this impressive $2 million addition to Bartels Hall reflects the university’s strong commitment to athletic excellence. Coaches and team members alike credit the center, its world-class equipment, and first-rate staff with adding immensely to the success of the Big Red athletic program. The Friedman Center contains freeweight, selectorized, plyometric, and cardiovascular equipment and has been designed to meet the diverse training needs of Cornell’s athletes. The center can accommodate up to 100 users at a time without compromising safety or function. Its unique features include airconditioning, a 175-watt stereo system, and damage-resistant flooring. Cornell’s varsity strength and conditioning program—nicknamed “Big Red Power”—focuses on enhancing performance and preventing injury. The new facility and equipment enable the staff to prescribe year-round sport-specific programs with variety and precision. Before the training programs are designed, the muscular and metabolic needs for each sport—and for each position within the sport—are analyzed. Athletes are then assessed to identify their individual strengths and weaknesses, and follow-up assessments are conducted at regular intervals. Comprehensive workouts are prescribed to address deficiencies and promote the development of skills used during competition. Injury prevention also is emphasized. Through resistance training, the number and the severity of injuries are reduced. If an injury does occur, the strength and conditioning staff works closely with the sports medicine staff to ensure a safe and complete rehabilitation. The objective is to allow the athlete to resume full participation as soon Tom Dilliplane as possible.

Athletic training at Cornell University is dedicated to providing all student-athletes in the department with the highest level of health care. The care given by the Big Red training staff goes well beyond the daily medical concerns that every Division I program has regarding injury prevention, treatment and rehabilitation. The total health care of the individual is the goal of the Cornell program.

Meet The Coaches
The Ivy League is truly one of a kind. While the 2006-07 academic year marked the 50th season of official Ivy League athletic competition, the rivalries and traditions in the League go so much deeper. The first official athletic competition between League schools was more than 150 years ago (1852, Harvard-Yale rowing) and the first football game was more than 130 years ago (1872, Columbia-Yale). In the early days, the Ivy schools dominated college athletics. All-America status, Olympic medals and national championships were routinely earned by students from the Ancient Eight. Today, Ivy Leaguers continue to claim national titles and Olympic medals — as well as All-America and Academic All-America status. Hundreds continue athletic careers as professionals and hundreds more as coaches and athletic administrators. The student-athletes also are among the nation’s leading public servants, doctors, journalists, lawyers, scientists, scholars, business leaders, entertainers, educators and so much more. The success of the League comes without athletic scholarships while maintaining self-imposed high academic standards. The Ivy League has demonstrated a rare willingness and ability, given the pressures on intercollegiate success throughout the nation, to abide by these rules and still compete successfully in Division I athletics. Sponsoring conference championships in 33 men’s and women’s sports, and averaging more than 35 varsity teams at each school, the Ivy League provides intercollegiate athletic opportunities for more men and women than any other conference in the country. All eight Ivy schools are among the “top 20” of NCAA Division I schools in number of sports offered for both men and women. The term “Ivy colleges” was first in October, 1933 by Stanley Woodward of the New York Herald Tribune to describe the eight current Ivy schools (plus Army). On Feb. 8, 1935, Associated Press sports editor Alan Gould first used the exact term “Ivy League.” The first “Ivy Group Agreement,” signed in 1945, applied only to football. It affirmed the observance of common practices in academic standards and eligibility requirements and the administration of need-based financial aid, with no athletic scholarships. The agreement created the Presidents Policy Committee, including the eight Presidents; the Coordination and Eligibility Committee, made up of one senior non-athletic administrator from each school; and the committee on Administration, comprised of the eight directors of athletics. The Ivy Presidents extended the Ivy Group Agreement to all intercollegiate sports in February 1954. Their statement also focused on presidential governance of the League, the importance of intra-League competition, and a desire that recruited athletes be academically ‘representative’ of each institution¹s overall student body. Although that is the League¹s official founding date, the first year of competition was 1956-57. The Ivy League office is housed in Princeton, N.J., under the leadership of Executive Director Jeffrey H. Orleans, who has been at that post since 1984.

Chris Wlosinski 10th Year at Cornell The Andrew ‘78 & Margaret Paul Assistant Director of Athletics for Student Services and Compliance Chris Wlosinski took over the role of the Andrew ‘78 and Margaret Paul Director of Student-Athlete Support Services in August 2001 and was promoted to Assistant Athletic Director for Student Services and Compliance in March 2005. In her position, she has assumed a dedicated role focused on student-athlete support and compliance with NCAA and Ivy League rules. Cornell and its counterparts embrace a philosophy that includes the notion that student-athletes should experience a mainstream collegiate life, but the university also recognized the extra demands placed on this special population. In August of 1998, the position, the first of its kind in the Ivy League, was created, a role that asks Wlosinski to work as an available and reliable adviser who understands the lifestyle student-athletes lead and assists them in balancing their academic, athletic and personal challenges. In this capacity she also serves as a liaison with the colleges and directs student-athletes to appropriate campus-wide resources for academic and personal needs. When Wlosinski first joined the Big Red program, she worked collaboratively with the director of student-athlete support services, coaches and administrators to provide counseling and academic support services serving 36 varsity sports. She developed and maintained personal contacts with ad-

ministrators and professors throughout Cornell’s seven colleges, and she assisted the director in monitoring the academic progress of student-athletes. Most of Wlosinski’s time is devoted to personal meetings with student-athletes, and while the bulk of her work focuses on freshmen, sophomores and transfer students, she does assist athletes from all classes and across all colleges at Cornell. Wlosinski came to Cornell in August 1999 and worked in compliance, student services and event management. In June 2000, she accepted the position of associate director of alumni affairs and development for athletics where she served until assuming her current position. Prior to joining the Cornell staff, Wlosinski spent a year each as an athletics administrative intern at Bates College and Plymouth State College. She also served as a special education teacher for the learning disabled for seven years in Lancaster, Pa. Wlosinski graduated from Millersville University in 1989 with a bachelor’s degree in special education and from Plymouth State College in 1999 with a master’s degree in education.

The Cornell men’s basketball team plays in Newman Arena at Bartels Hall, one of the finest facilities in the Ivy League.
The arena is named for F. R. Newman (‘12), who was considered one of the nation’s foremost experts in industrial fuel-oil marketing. Helen Newman Hall, named for his wife of 36 years, is also part of his legacy and one of his many gifts to Cornell. The Big Red closed the chapter of play at Barton Hall and began a new tradition at Newman Arena in January of 1990. The Big Red beat Army 96-70 in the inaugural contest at Newman Arena on Jan. 6, 1990. That began a six-game home win streak to open the building. The Big Red is off to a fantastic start in Newman, which was officially dedicated in 1993, compiling a 132-101 (.567) record on its court in 18 seasons. Since opening its doors to play, the arena has hosted 416 basketball games and 178 volleyball matches, including the 1996 Ivy League volleyball tournament. The arena has also hosted the Harlem Globetrotter basketball team and has held speeches by world leaders such as Nobel Peace Prize winner, Archbishop Desmond Tutu of South Africa, and Lee Teng-hui ‘68, President of Taiwan. The arena provides seating for 4,473 fans, and features telescoping bleachers that allow for conversion to three courts for practice.
