2014-15 PREVIEW

Junior point guard Jalan West leads the Demons into the 2014-15 with a multi-faceted game that earned him All-Southland Conference honors in his sophomore season.

With one of the best point guards and one of the best shooters in college basketball both back this season at Northwestern State, veteran coach Mike McConathy has a couple of cornerstones in junior Jalan West and sophomore Zeek Woodley to blend with some talented newcomers in 2014-15. The newcomers will be more significant than normal in the Demons’ program for McConathy’s 16th season in charge. NSU returns only seven lettermen from the always deep rotation employed by the winningest college coach in Louisiana history, eight wins away from 600 in his 32nd season overall. West, a 5-10 junior, and Woodley, a 6-2 sophomore, are the last two Southland Conference Freshmen of the Year. West had a spectacular sophomore year. He was the only player in major college basketball to average at least 19 points (19.4), 4 rebounds (4.0), 6 assists (6.4, 8th NCAA) and 2.5 steals (8th NCAA). No NCAA player since Hofstra’s Speedy Claxton in 1999-2000 has had that kind of stat line, according to Sports-Reference.com. He sank 46 percent of his shots, 41 percent on 3-pointers, and 88 percent at the free throw line while earning Mid-Major All-America honors from CollegeInsider.com and College Sports Madness, along with Southland

Sophomore guard Zeek Woodley (23) shot 61.7 percent from the floor as a freshman and proved he could provide a defensive presence as well.

Conference Defensive Player of the Year and first-team All-Southland honors. Woodley ranked fourth nationally, best among guards, with a 61.7 percent shooting average while averaging 13.9 points and 4.6 rebounds, dropping in 80.2 percent of his free throws and 41.7 percent of his 24 3-point tries. He also blocked 25 shots. West and Woodley were two of the top three scorers for last year’s 17-14 team. Four of the top seven are back this season, along with three of the top four rebounders. Senior 6-8 center Marvin Frazier surged at the end of last season. He averaged a modest 5.3 points and 4.6 rebounds, along with 2.1 blocks, but in two Southland Conference Tournament games, averaged 14 points and six rebounds. If he can approach that level of production the NSU inside game will not wilt from the departure of second-team All-Southland forward DeQuan Hicks (15.1 points, 7.3 rebounds), one of five 2013-14 seniors. Senior 6-7 forward Ryan King (3.0 ppg, 2.6 rpg) steadily improved in the second half of his first year in the Demon program, bolstering the interior defense and rebounding. Newcomer Deji Adekunle (6-11) should pad the post rotation as a defender and rebounder.

Newcomers Ta’Jon Welcome and Tony Dobbinson should help compensate for the graduation of guard Brison White, whose 13.1 scoring average was rooted in his ability to fly downcourt in transition. Dobbinson can spell West at point guard. Sophomore 6-3 guard Sabri Thompson (4.1 ppg) flashed scoring punch and was a solid addition in his rookie year. Another sophomore, swingman Tra’von Joseph (2.5 ppg), helped the Demons defend taller backcourts with his 6-5 frame, along with 6-5 junior guard Matt Killian (0.7 ppg). More size is added to the perimeter with 6-11 freshman swingman Reggie Kissoonlal and 6-8 senior squadman Matt LeBato, who missed his first NSU season with an ankle injury. True freshman DeVonte Hall, a 6-1 guard, was a two-time All-Stater at West’s alma mater, Bossier High School, while another true freshman, 6-4 Peyton Prudhomme, could help from behind the 3-point circle. The Demons have been second nationally in scoring each of the past two seasons, while also ranking high in NCAA stats in team steals (over 9.0 both years) and blocked shots in McConathy’s high-tempo style that typically employs 10-12 players each game.

What they’re saying about Jalan West ... “Jalan West (is) a 5-10 guard who’s a blur and someone who has played his best games against the best competition. He had 30 points against Auburn, 28 against Kenneth “Speedy” Smith at Louisiana Tech and 26 against Baylor when his team lost in overtime. You’re talking about a small guard who shot 41 percent from 3-point range, 46.3 percent from the 2-point range and averaged 6.4 assists and 2.5 steals a game. UTEP coach Tim Floyd said that in his own way West is as good as NBA lottery pick Elfrid Payton.” -- Seth Greenberg, former Virginia Tech head coach and current ESPN college basketball analyst

MIKE MCCONATHY

Head Coach 31st Season (592-386) 15th Season at NSU (240-225)

In Southland Conference basketball history, Mike McConathy has a unique and remarkable place as a player and head coach. He’s regarded as one of the greatest players in league history, scoring 2,033 points (20.7 per game) from 1973-77 at Louisiana Tech, leading the Bulldogs to the 1976 conference crown as the Southland Player of the Year. He ranks among the greatest coaches too, entering his 16th season at Northwestern State, where his father, his sons, and his uncles all played. McConathy is poised to post his 600th career collegiate coaching victory and coach his 1,000th college contest this season, his 32nd overall. He is the winningest college coach in Louisiana basketball history, eclipsing legendary bench bosses such as Dale Brown, Leon Barmore, Fred Hobdy and Mike Vining. McConathy is 592-386 overall with a 240-227 record at NSU, including 69 regular-season “guarantee” games at non-conference foes, going 235-158 (.599) with the Demons otherwise. His teams have scored road wins over Oklahoma State, Mississippi State, Auburn and Oregon State, and also knocked off No. 15 Iowa in a 14 vs. 3 seed upset in the 2006 NCAA Tournament. He is a master of March Madness. McConathy’s Demons have made seven Southland Tournament championship game appearances in their 11 conference tourney trips during his 15 seasons. Only the Demons and Louisiana-Monroe (1990-93) have made four straight championship game appearances in the five decades of Southland basketball competition. NSU is 17-8 in Southland Tournament play, most recently nearly spoiling 2014 champ Stephen F. Austin’s chance at NCAA tourney glory, a year after NSU captured the 2013 Southland Tournament crown. That ’13 title gave NSU its third NCAA Tournament appearance under McConathy, the most by any current Southland member. The Demons won their first games in the 2001 and 2006 NCAA brackets, dumping Winthrop in the inaugural Opening Round game in Dayton in ’01 and overcoming a 17-point deficit in the last 8:32 to stun Iowa 64-63 in ’06 at Auburn Hills, Mich., in one of the most memorable games in modern March Madness history. McConathy’s core philosophies include the belief “the MVP of our team IS our team.” His use of a deep rotation, often with wave substitutions of five-for-five, is a tried-andtrue method that annually has NSU playing its best basketball down the stretch. The Demons also are toughened each season by a challenging non-conference slate of games – NSU played the nation’s fifth-toughest out-of-conference schedule in 201314 – and the combination of giving significant playing time to 10-13 Demons all year long helps produce surges like 12 wins in the final 15 games last season. His program is #Southland Strong: The Demons are 27-9 in conference regularseason play in the last two years, 43-23 in the last four. McConathy is 163-122 (.572) against Southland foes, including 146-114 in regular-season matchups.

They benefit from a big homecourt advantage. Venerable Prather Coliseum has more on-the-floor seating than any other Southland venue. The Demons average over 2,000 fans per game in league play in a tough-for-visiting teams environment. NSU is 20-4 at home overall in the past two seasons, 46-10 in the last four years, and has won 71 percent of its home games (142-57) under McConathy. It all attracts quality performers. This year’s team features the last two Southland Freshman of the Year award-winners, guards Jalan West and Zeek Woodley, and NSU had the 2013 league Newcomer of the Year also, DeQuan Hicks. Known for years as “Coach Mike” to his players, McConathy is among a select group

DEMON of major college mentors. Less than two dozen Division I basketball coaches have been at their current school for 16 years. His peers in this distinction include Mike Krzyzewski (Duke), Billy Donovan (Florida), Tom Izzo (Michigan State), Rick Barnes (Texas) and Jim Boeheim (Syracuse). “Coach Mike” is nationally respected by those who coach, and cover, the game. For the seventh year, he will be part of the ESPN/USA Today Coaches’ Top 25 voting panel. He does his own ballot each week. He’s been late once in six years – and that was on a weekend the team was returning from Hawaii. He has also served a three-year term on the NCAA’s coaches’ regional advisory committee assisting with the NCAA Tournament selection process. He received the 2012 National Association of Basketball Coaches Guardians of the Game Pillar Award for Education during NCAA Final Four weekend in New Orleans. It is among the most prestigious awards presented by the NABC, representing one of the four core values of the Guardians of the Game program – education, leadership, advocacy and service. McConathy has constantly promoted educational values for, and with, his players. Almost 90 percent of the seniors in his NSU program have graduated. Last season, eight players had grade point averages over 3.0 in the fall semester. The Demons received “public recognition” from the NCAA in May 2014 and in May 2006 for ranking among the nation’s top 10 percent Academic Progress Rate scores in the NCAA’s annual report. They had a perfect score in May 2011 and have consistently ranked among state, Southland Conference and even national leaders in that and the NCAA’s Graduation Success Rate in McConathy’s 15 seasons. National television and radio analysts and announcers such as Tim Brando, Verne Lundquist and Bill Raftery of CBS Sports, Doug Gottlieb and Jerry Punch of ESPN, and Charles Barkley have expressed their admiration of McConathy, as much for his core values as for his coaching acumen. Three Division I head coaches – Virginia Tech’s Buzz Williams, McNeese’s Dave Simmons and Mark Slessinger of New Orleans – have served on his Demon coaching staff. Demon basketball has evolved in his tenure from being nearly an afterthought in the historic city of Natchitoches to providing the sports heartbeat of northwest Louisiana in February and March.

BASKETBALL His Demons have been to the Big Dance three times (2001, 2006, 2013), winning a NCAA Tournament game in the first two trips, and reached to the Southland Conference Tournament championship game seven times in his 15 seasons (2000, 2001, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2013). Only the Demons and Louisiana-Monroe (1990-93) have made four straight championship game appearances in the five decades of SLC basketball competition. McConathy brought the philosophy of “Championship Basketball … with a Purpose!” to NSU in March of 1999. After winning 70 percent of his games in 16 seasons at Bossier Parish Community College, he took over a program that had never been to the NCAA Tournament and had just five winning seasons in 24 years of Division I history. When he arrived at his father’s alma mater, tasked with turning around a longdowntrodden program, Coach Mike didn’t run off the players in the program so he could bring in his guys right away. At the press conference announcing his hiring, he talked about bringing Demon basketball back to the level of expectation it had when his father and uncles played for Northwestern in the 1950s. Then, 20-win seasons and conference championships were standard fare. One veteran media member wondered if the new coach was from Mars, so farfetched that goal seemed. After all, NSU had had never been close to a Division I conference championship or an NCAA Tournament berth. McConathy only had two scholarships to work with, just a couple of weeks before signing day, but instead of cleaning house, he created a homelike atmosphere. This program, he told the veteran players, wasn’t his. It was theirs. His role was to shape it into something good, for them and for the players to come. His two pre-teen boys, Michael and Logan, spent as much time in Prather Coliseum as the players did. That wasn’t by accident. Coach Mike told his team that he wanted to be able to have pride in having his boys around the players. So the McConathy kids had a bunch of older brothers, and the players suddenly had a couple of younger brothers, subtly reminding them their conduct was very personal to their new coach. Deep inside, McConathy also was determined to build a program that would be solid enough that when his sons finished high school, it might appeal to them to be

McConathy T imeline: How it all got star ted AS A PLAYER... “Coach Mike” is already inducted into the Louisiana Association of Basketball Coaches Hall of Fame for his career as a high school All-American at Bossier City-Airline High School and as a high scoring guard at Louisiana Tech from 1973-77. He was inducted in Louisiana Tech’s Athletics Hall of Fame in October 2011. McConathy was a gym rat. One of his personal workouts involved shooting baskets in the dark. The hard work paid off for McConathy, who was a fourth-round draft pick of the NBA’s Chicago Bulls. Among his 2,033 career points were 45, still the Prather Coliseum single-game record, against Northwestern in his senior year. He was told he had made the Bulls roster, but was released on the final cut. He tried playing in Europe, but soon decided to come home and begin his coaching career. AS A COACH BEFORE NSU ... McConathy’s start in coaching came as girls basketball coach at his alma mater, Airline High School in Bossier City. Soon, he moved into the college ranks without making any kind of move at all. McConathy won 20 games or more in 11 of his 16 seasons as head coach at Bossier Parish Community College, starting the program from scratch in 1983. They didn’t have a gym or dormitories, practicing and playing at Airline when the gym was available. But his teams posted at least 23 wins in each of his last seven seasons at BPCC, and were in the top 10 of the final national junior college Top 25 rankings in each of his last three seasons. His overall 352-159 (.688) record at Bossier Parish included a remarkable 185-48 (.794) mark since the start of the 1992-93 season. His last six teams won Miss-Lou Conference championships. His 1998-99 club was 26-5 and ranked eighth nationally, a year after the team posted a 27-3 record and finished with a No. 3 national ranking.

COACHING INFLUENCES ... His wife, Connie, is a constant presence in the lives of NSU players. They like to drop by her office in Kyser Hall, where she coordinates the Bossier Parish Community College operations on campus. She frequently attends practices, often getting In her fitness workout while watching “her boys.” She’s an invaluable advisor for Coach Mike. His father, Johnny McConathy, won a state championship at Bossier High School before he went into administration, eventually serving a long term as superintendent of schools in Bossier Parish. His first college coach was Scotty Robertson, who signed him to play at Louisiana Tech and coaching him his freshman year before becoming the first-ever head coach of the NBA’s New Orleans Jazz. Coach Robertson spent more than 20 years in the NBA, serving as head coach in New Orleans, Chicago and Detroit, and retiring as Pat Riley’s bench coach with the Miami Heat. Until he passed away in August of 2011, Coach Robertson made frequent trips to Natchitoches to visit with the Demons and to duck hunt with his good friends, including former NSU soccer coach Jimmy Mitchell. Former state Rep. Billy Wayne Montgomery was a highly successful high school coach in Bossier Parish, winning a state championship at Haughton High School before he entered politics. Coach Montgomery and Johnny McConathy are close friends. Coach’s value-centered approach to coaching and life made a huge impression on Coach Mike as he grew up in Bossier City. Coach Montgomery was named Mr. Louisiana Basketball for 2008-09 by the Louisiana Association of Basketball Coaches. Robertson and Montgomery are in the Louisiana Sports Hall of Fame.

2014-15 NORTHWESTERN STATE DEMON BASKETBALL

DEMON involved, in some way, perhaps even as players, just like their grandfather Johnny and their uncles, George and Leslie, were in the years between World War II and the Korean Conflict, when the NBA was a fledgling league with teams in Ft. Wayne and Syracuse, a decade before color television made its debut. Now, beginning his 16th season as head coach, Coach Mike’s vision has long since become reality. Sticking with the players already in the program worked. His first team posted the first winning season in eight years at Northwestern, and became the first Demon team to reach the Southland Conference Tournament championship game. A year later, the Demons were back, and they didn’t stop there. The heart of the team he inherited and inspired worked its way to the SLC Tournament title in 2001, into the NCAA Tournament for the first time ever, and to an opening round win as the Demons became “Dayton’s Darlings” and somewhat of a national media sensation at the outset of March Madness. The swirl of national talk show appearances, the fact that the team’s opening win was the lead story on “SportsCenter” and in the next day’s USA Today sports section, was all part of the bigger picture for McConathy. It was a chance to solidify the foundation that had been established, an opportunity to springboard the NSU program into a position of being a consistent championship contender in the Southland Conference. A year later, as seven seniors went through commencement exercises, McConathy was preparing for the consequences of a surprising recruiting decision. The coach who spent 16 seasons in the junior college ranks decided against blending juco players with a few prep prospects to replace the departing senior class. Instead, McConathy and assistants Simmons and Slessinger brought in a dozen high school seniors. Those recruits were the 2005-06 seniors, except for Jermaine Spencer, who had interest from LSU and Texas, among others, but signed with McConathy and the Demons. Spencer took a medical redshirt year as a sophomore, so his senior season came in 200607. Behind that 2003 recruiting class, the Demons layered in a handful of talented high school players in 2004 and 2005, and added a blend of prep and junior college recruits since, averting another wholesale rebuilding. The plan worked. The youngest team in the country battled through two losing seasons, appearing ready to turn the corner in 2003-04 before some key players were sidelined.

2014-15 NORTHWESTERN STATE DEMON BASKETBALL

BASKETBALL In 2004-05, the payoff began: 21 wins (the most for the Demons since 1960), a Southland Conference co-championship, homecourt advantage in the SLC Tournament and an ESPN-televised championship game at Prather Coliseum. But it was a stunning last-minute loss. That was the painful motivator for the 200506 team - the Demons wanted to fulfill their potential, to repeat as champs, host the SLC tournament championship game again, and win there - and in the NCAA Tournament. They did that, and much more. The Demons had a school-record 26 wins, including victories at Oklahoma State, Mississippi State, over Oregon State and No. 15 Iowa in the NCAA Tournament. Attendance records were shattered. They earned a TV game in the ESPN BracketBusters. They won the SLC by the widest margin in nine seasons. Northwestern made its fourth SLC Tournament championship game appearance in McConathy’s first seven seasons as head coach. The Demons won the Pontiac Game Changing Performance $100,000 general scholarship prize for the most spectacular play in the NCAA Tournament. Northwestern made four national television (CBS, ESPN2, ESPNU) appearances, let alone the cascade of national coverage during their NCAA Tournament run by the Demons of Destiny. Each March, national media revisit the win over St. Patrick’s Day win over thirdseeded Iowa, capped by Jermaine Wallace’s off-side rebound and fall-away 3-pointer from the corner with 0.5 left. It’s shown over and over on TV, and has continually been featured in lists of all-time NCAA Tournament great finishes and best NCAA games of the decade. In March 2011, an NCAAsports.com vote by fans tabbed the contest the greatest game in NCAA Tournament history. Seven seniors graduated. For most programs it would be back to the drawing board at that point. For the Demons, it was back to more success in 2006-07 -- starting with a jam-packed Prather Coliseum for a season-opening smackdown of Utah State, and finishing a 3-pointer shy of another NCAA Tournament berth. For the third straight year, NSU won an SLC title - this time the newly created SLC East Division crown. Again, the Demons were in the SLC Finals. It was more déjà vu in 2008. For the sixth time in nine seasons, and for the fourth consecutive year, the Demons reached the SLC Tournament championship game. Another nailbiting 3-point loss kept them from the Big Dance. But their SLC Tournament dominance was palpable to observers and the competition, who are wary of the Demons’ depth that makes them so formidable in the late season and postseason play. That was borne out again in 2013. Northwestern posted its third 20-win season in nine years. Prather Coliseum was the least liked destination for Southland teams. March Madness again enveloped the NSU faithful, and in commencement exercises in December and May, Demon players marched in cap and gown. It’s all part of Coach Mike’s plan. And it’s a home grown product. McConathy has built with Louisiana players as about three-quarters of the Demons who have played for him are from the Bayou State. That’s fitting. The McConathy family roots, and values, are deep in the red clay hills of north Louisiana, tracing back decades to his family’s farm in hilly Bienville Parish, where his father and uncles did their chores before they used horses and bicycles to make the six-mile plus trip to basketball practice and games. During his days at Bossier Parish Community College, McConathy had chances to join his college teammate Tim Floyd as an assistant coach at Iowa State and possibly to the NBA, but it never came to pass. He couldn’t put a price tag on raising his boys around their grandparents and uncles and aunts in north Louisiana. Now, as he’s brought Northwestern basketball back, and even beyond to a level it reached when his father played for the Demons, he’s proud his parents, Johnny and Corene, sit across the court at Prather Coliseum, savoring the experience. The transformation of Demon basketball has been accomplished. The challenge hasn’t ended -- competition never does -- but Mike McConathy has built a program solid enough that he would be proud to have his own son as part of the team. He’s smiling even more broadly nowadays. Michael and Logan graduated with honors after finishing five years in purple and white. But there still is a roster full of “Coach Mike’s boys” who don’t happen to be McConathys, just Demons. Ask any of them, or their predecessors -- Demon basketball truly is all a family thing.

“Mike is remarkably relaxed in this pressure cooker. You can tell his players hold a reverence toward him. If you didn’t meet him, you’d think he was too good to be true. He’s a quality human being, more concerned about his kids getting through school and doing well in life than anything else, and they know it.” -- Bill Raftery, CBS Sports 2006 NCAA Tournament “I’ve seen and coached a lot of athletes down through the years but even today I can say that Mike McConathy is the most dedicated athlete I have ever been around. He was unrelenting in his drive to improve. He would often wear ankle weights, and he was constantly jumping rope. Even after practice, many nights he would return to the gym, calling a manager to come shag balls for him as he shot and shot and shot to improve. It was obvious to me early on that Mike was going to be a special player, but it was definitely his work ethic that set him apart over the course of his career.” -- college teammate, former Cal-Riverside head coach Jim Wooldridge “I have never seen the drive Mike had in any other player on any level. Looking back, I realize that the things we coaches try to emphasize each day to our players are the things that Mike did back then. He was completely self-made and his numbers each year reflected how hard he was working. He could have started for North Carolina, UCLA or anybody else.” -- college teammate, now UTEP head coach Tim Floyd

McConathy is home: family ties to NSU span more than 50 years

by Jerry Byrd, Bossier Press-Tribune

For more than 50 years, the name of McConathy has been synonymous with Northwestern State University basketball tradition. It all started on the Bienville Parish hill farm of O. L. McConathy in 1945, the year that World War II ended. McConathy’s oldest sons, Leslie and Johnny, were plowing corn that day when their work was interrupted by an automobile winding its way up the dirt road leading to the farmhouse. The three men in the automobile were representatives from the Louisiana Normal College in Natchitoches. The Bryceland High School basketball team had defeated Coushatta in a rally at Natchitoches, and the men made the trip to Bienville Parish to offer an athletic scholarship to Leslie McConathy. One of the men was the Normal football coach and athletic director, Harry “Rags”Turpin. Another was Monty Cheeves, an assistant basketball coach. The other was Joe Webb, a chemistry professor who later became head of the alumni association. Webb’s son, Randy, is now the president of Northwestern. Legend has it that Leslie McConathy picked up his plow by one handle, pointed in the direction of the farmhouse and told them he would meet them there as soon as he and Johnny plowed their way around the hill. But Johnny’s memory is a bit foggy on that point. When they reached the house, the scholarship offer was made and accepted, sealed by a handshake, and the visitors left. A few weeks later, Leslie changed his mind after visiting Louisiana Tech at Ruston, and sent a letter to Coach Turpin informing him that he had decided to attend Tech. Turpin returned to the McConathy farm to discuss the situation with Leslie and his father. O. L. McConathy asked Leslie if he told the people from Normal that he would go to their college. “Yes, sir,” he replied. “Then you told the people at Tech you would go to their college?” “Yes, sir.” “Well, that’s a mighty poor way to do business, isn’t it? You gave your word to these people first, so that settles it.” “We lived right behind the school,” Johnny McConathy recalls. Actually, it was six miles as the crow flies -- and much longer when Leslie rode a horse and Johnny pedaled a bicycle to the gym for basketball practice and games. Two years after his older brother went to the Natchitoches college, when Johnny was a senior at Bryceland High (which had an enrollment of 69 students), no college recruiters made the trip to the McConathy farmhouse. One reason was that Johnny McConathy broke his ankle early in the season. Another was the fact that he was a 6-1, 155-pound stringbean who would grow four inches taller in the next two years. Johnny hitchhiked to Natchitoches, where he found legendary coach H. Lee Prather playing a ping pong game. “What can you do?” Prather asked him between serves. “I can play ball,” said Johnny. Prather looked at him and shook his head. “You don’t look like much of a ballplayer to me,” he said. “I don’t have anything for you.” Then he resumed his ping pong game. Johnny McConathy wasn’t easily discouraged. When classes started the following fall, he hitchhiked to Natchitoches again. Once again, Prather told him no scholarship was available. But after Johnny managed to hang around for a few days, Prather called in Leslie and told him one of the boys he was expecting hadn’t shown up. “I’ll give your brother an opportunity, one day at a time,” he said. By that time, the Natchitoches school had changed its name to Northwestern State College. Leslie and Johnny McConathy both played on the 1948-49 Demon team which posted a 23-5 record and is still regarded as Prather’s greatest team. So did another McConathy, Herschel, a distant relative from Florien. The McConathy clan was part of a group of settlers from Alabama who traveled west along the route of what is now Interstate 20 (because it was the high ground, and their wagons wouldn’t bog down in the mud.) They hung a left at Arcadia, where they founded the Alabama Baptist Church, and some stayed in Bienville Parish while others continued to Sabine, Vernon an Beauregard parishes. Johnny McConathy went from his “one day at a time” trial period to set a school scoring record and win All-America honors in 1952. After a brief stint in the National Basketball Association, he coached Bossier High to its first state basketball championship in 1960 and later served as superintendent of Bossier Parish schools. Leslie was superintendent of Richland Parish schools. By the time younger brother George McConathy was a senior at Bryceland High, the Bienville Parish school had won a couple of state championships and Prather, who was then the Northwestern president, made the trip to the McConathy farmhouse himself to complete the clean sweep for the Demons. George became an All-Gulf States Conference star for Demon teams coached by Charles “Red” Thomas. One generation (and several interviews) later, the McConathy connection led to Northwestern State. When he was a senior at Airline High, Mike McConathy was recruited by LSU, Louisiana Tech and Northwestern State. He signed with Tech coach Scotty Robertson, who had coached at Shreveport’s Byrd High when Mike’s father, Johnny was coaching at Bossier High.

BASKETBALL After reading the preceding story, nationally-acclaimed Dayton Daily News columnist Tom Archdeacon spent time with Coach McConathy, his team and his family on the opening day of the 2001 NCAA Tournament. Archdeacon told the story of McConathy’s deep ties to Northwestern in the next morning’s Dayton Daily News. Portions of that column are excerpted here:

For Cinderella team, the McConathy magic is back March 14, 2001 by Tom Archdeacon, Dayton Daily News

Two generations of McConathy brothers have played for the Demons. Shown (left to right) standing in front of the rock crib at the McConathy family farm in Bienville Parish where the older McConathys grew up - George McConathy, Logan McConathy, John McConathy, Michael McConathy, and Leslie McConathy.

McConathy became the second Tech player ever to score 2,000 points, passing the milestone in a game with Northwestern in which the Demons’ Billy Reynolds also broke the 2,000 point barrier, something only 16 other players in state history have done. Later, Mike McConathy became the first basketball coach at Bossier Parish Community College, and developed the team from scratch into a perennial national junior college powerhouse. Twice, he applied for coaching vacancies at Northwestern State and wasn’t selected. But Mike McConathy, like his father, is not easily discouraged. He interviewed for the Demons’ coaching position again in March 1999, and got the job. When Johnny McConathy went to Northwestern State, the Demons were in the middle of a streak of 19 straight winning seasons under Prather, Thomas and Huey Cranford. Six of those teams won 20 or more games. The Natchitoches school had only two losing basketball seasons in the first 47 years of its basketball program. That is the kind of tradition that Mike McConathy grew up hearing about from his father and uncles. That is the kind of achievement that Coach Mike McConathy had to his credit in 16 seasons as head basketball coach at Bossier Parish Community College. Nowadays at Northwestern, it’s clear Coach Mike McConathy has restored the same kind of championship tradition to the Demon basketball program his family helped to shape.

The big, white-haired man in the Demon purple shirt laughed and nodded: Sure, he’d tell the story of the plow and the promise.... ....”That’s how this all began. It got me there and our brother George, one of our cousins, too, and now... it’s got Mike.” Mike McConathy is Johnny’s son and the miracle-working, second-year coach of Northwestern State. Tuesday night, that Louisiana field that was plowed 55 years ago bore its best basketball fruit at UD Arena as Northwestern State -- playing the first NCAA Tournament game in school history -- defeated Winthrop, 71-67, in the opening round game of this year’s tournament .... ....Across Blackburn Court, Doug Ireland, the Demons’ sports information director, looked out at the scene of the proud father and triumphant son -- who soon would be fighting tears when he talked of his parents and how they’d driven nearly 1,000 miles to be here with him, and nodded: “The McConathy magic is back. This is just an absolute great story.” Northwestern State and the McConathys is one of those charming Cinderella tales you get early in an NCAA Tournament. It’s a story of honor, undaunted belief and success.

JEFF MOORE

Assistant Coach

Ninth season at NSU Missouri Valley, 1995

Hometown..................................................... Lake Arthur, La. High School..................................................... Lake Arthur HS College...................................... Missouri Valley College, 1995 Wife.......................................................................Amy Moore Children................................ Gracie, daughter and Caige, son

Entering his ninth season with the Northwestern State men’s hoop squad, Jeff Moore is a cornerstone of the program. Coach Mike McConathy entrusts his staff with responsibilities that many Division I coaches don’t delegate. But with two former junior college head coaches on the bench in Moore and Bill Lewit, the Demons are blessed with high caliber help. Moore’s in-game strategy and stewardship of all aspects of the program have weaved seamlessly with McConathy’s players-first, family values approach. As NSU has won 40 games in the last two seasons, while ranking second nationally in scoring each year and among the NCAA top 10 in steals and blocks, Moore’s savvy and his passion have been precious assets for Demon basketball. He has been the point man as recruiting coordinator as NSU has signed the last two Southland Conference Freshmen of the Year, Jalan West (2013) and Zeek Woodley, and the 2013 Southland Conference Newcomer of the Year, DeQuan Hicks. Moore helped steer the 2012-13 Demons to a 14-seed in the NCAA tournament after another Southland Tournament championship. The 23 games the Demons won in 2012-13 sits in second place for the school’s all-time history for wins in a season. Moore’s amazing work ethic and winning personality made him the perfect choice to fill the big shoes on the Demons’ staff when he replaced current McNeese State head coach Dave Simmons in 2006. He fits into a legacy of assistant coaches that McConathy has nurtured, three now Division I head coaches -- Buzz Williams at Virginia Tech after a great run at Marquette, along with beloved Southland rivals Simmons at McNeese and Mark Slessinger at New Orleans. Remarkably, after the departure of Simmons, the Demons didn’t miss a beat. Moore’s strategic acumen and teaching skills were tremendous assets as NSU won yet another Southland Conference title in his first season on staff, capturing the SLC East Division crown. In his first two seasons, the Demons made back-to-back trips to the Southland Finals. Moore’s motto: “preparation comes face-to-face with opportunity.” “ ‘It’ in leadership terms is the guy that makes it all work and pulls it all together. He knows all the necessary things to do for our program. Jeff Moore has ‘it’,” said McConathy who became Louisiana’s all-time leader in college wins in 2013. “His compassion for players and passion for doing the right things are impeccable. I truly have been blessed to have him on my staff.” Before coming to NSU, he spent five years (1997-2002) as a head coach and

There he made a run to the NJCAA regional tournament semifinals in 2001 and coached Ronnie Ross a Jeanerette, La., product who was ranked as a Top 10 junior college prospect at guard by TSN Basketball Magazine. Ross was the first of three Top 10 junior college prospects by position that Moore coached. Kurt Looby and Jessan Gray played for Moore at Tyler Junior College when he was an assistant from 2002-05. In his three PLAYING EXPERIENCE seasons at Tyler, they qualified for the 1992-94 Missouri Valley College regional tournament every season. 1990-92 Marshalltown Community College After TJC, he coached at Bossier Parish Community College as an assistant for one season before Coach Mike called his number. At BPCC, the Cavaliers won the Miss-Lou Conference and Tournament Championship and qualified for the Region XXII Tournament for the first time in five years. Moore not only has a commitment to excellence on the floor, but in the classroom. Ninety percent of Demon basketball players have graduated since Moore arrived, and NSU’s APR has continued to climb including 1000 marks in 2010, 2011 and 2013. In 2014, the program received NCAA national recognition for ranking in the top 10 percent in Division I, and again led all conference and state public institutions in the NCAA Graduation Success Rate with a 98 percent score. He’s recruited big-time players such as Koby Achane from Welsh, La., Missouri Valley College’s all-time leading scorer; Will Mosley from Shreveport, who is fifth alltime in NCAA Division I history in blocks; and Trey Gilder of Dallas, who played with the NBA’s Memphis Grizzlies and was a NBA D-League All-Star. “He is a great teacher of the game, a tremendous worker, and has an extremely positive, warm personality,” said McConathy. “He’s rooted in Louisiana, which is the

One-on-one with ... Coach Jeff Moore How would you describe your coaching philosophy? Moore: “My philosophy is just up-tempo, which coming from junior college when I was the head coach, we always played a real up-tempo, pressing style, which coincides exactly with Coach McConathy. It wasn’t exactly like what I did, but it was an easy transition.” Your father was a longtime coach. Was there ever a doubt you would follow in his footsteps? Moore: “No. From a young age, I always knew that’s what I wanted to do. There was never a change in any of that. I’ve been blessed to be around a game that has given me a lot.”

Coach Moore stands with his family: wife, Amy; daughter, Gracie; and son, Caige, in front of the family’s Natchitoches home

heartbeat of our program, and he also has contacts around basketball that broaden our network.” Moore has coached over 80 players in his career from his home state of Louisiana. “He grew up with a dad who was a great basketball coach and the game is definitely a passion for him,” said McConathy. “From being a head junior college coach for five seasons, he understands what we have to do to not only keep our program achieving at a high level, but to move forward.” Moore’s father, the late Wilbert C. “Nooky” Moore, coached for 33 seasons in Louisiana at the high school (Slidell, Rayne, Notre Dame-Crowley, Lake Arthur) and college (assistant coach to Ralph Ward at McNeese State) levels. The younger Moore began his college-coaching career in 1995 at his alma mater, Missouri Valley College, after serving as a student assistant coach in 1994-95 following the end of his playing career. He was named an NAIA Scholar All-American at Missouri Valley after earning National Junior College Athletic Association All-Academic honors at Marshalltown (Iowa) Community College, where he was also an honorable mention all-region performer. He earned a master’s degree in education, with an emphasis in athletic administration, from Northwestern State in 1997. Moore was a standout player at Lake Arthur High School and was inducted into the school’s athletic hall of fame. He played on the Louisiana Stars AAU state championship team and was chosen for the Louisiana Pepsi All-Stars Team that toured the Canary Islands. He continues to host summer camps in Jefferson Davis Parish starting in 1998 and also hosted senior workout camps in April in south Louisiana, providing an opportunity for hundreds of state prep players to obtain college scholarships at the junior college, NAIA and NCAA levels. His relationships with prep coaches have helped raise attendance at summer NSU camps and clinics to all-time highs. He and his wife Amy, a fourth and fifth grade teacher at the NSU Lab School, have a beautiful and active 7 1/2-year-old daughter, Gracie, and a son, Caige (for Dad’s Cajun heritage), who will turn three in January.

Do you have one memory from growing up about your dad as a coach that stands out? Moore: “One time I saw him go out on the floor. He got a technical for being on the floor. No, the ref told him he was getting a technical for every step back to the bench, and I saw him take his jacket off and throw his jacket to his assistant, and he leaped and dove into the bench and only got one technical and didn’t get thrown out.” Do you see any similarities between your dad and Coach Mike? Moore: “The faith part. My dad always had his teams pray before games. That’s something we do here. My dad was a hard worker. When I lost my dad, coming here was a blessing. I’ve been without him for 10 years. My dad’s been the most influential person in my life, and I think the reason I came here was I needed someone like Coach Mike in my life. I had a lot of options to be a Division I assistant and none of them worked out, but for some reason, it happened here. Hard work -- that was my dad. My dad was just like coach (Mike). He would do anything for anybody. He would give them the shirt off his back. Working for coach has been real easy for me, because my dad never stopped. Coach is that way. He would do anything for anybody.”

BILL LEWIT

Assistant Coach

Fourth season at NSU Salisbury University, 1991

Hometown.....................................................Little Silver, N.J. High School.......................................... Red Bank Regional HS College.......................................................................Salibury

Bill Lewit won a national championship as a junior college head coach and has predictably made tremendous impact on the Northwestern State program as the Demons have re-emerged as a nationally-relevant mid-major over his first three seasons on Mike McConathy’s staff. In just his second season, Lewit helped the Demons reach the second round of the NCAA Tournament. NSU led the nation in scoring during the regular season (83.3 ppg), and finished second in that stat, and sixth (9.8 pg) in steals. The Demons went 23-9, the second-best win total in a century of basketball at NSU, winning the Southland Conference Tournament. The resulting NCAA Tournament berth was extra special for Lewit when the Demons drew the Florida Gators in a second-round matchup, and then battled nosefor-nose into the middle of the second half before Billy Donovan’s powerhouse squad pulled away. Lewit’s dad and Donovan’s father grew up together in Rockville Center, N.Y., and Billy’s uncle, Don Sullivan, was the best man in Lewit’s parents’ wedding. Despite significant graduation departures, the 2013-14 Demons made their own mark, although postseason play eluded NSU. Last season’s Demons Hoop Squad blew out Auburn 111-92 on the road and was again among NCAA Top 10 leaders in scoring, steals and blocked shots, and took eventual Southland champ Stephen F. Austin down to the wire twice. NSU has won 40 games in the past two years thanks in no small part to Lewit. His deeply insightful scouting reports, bench acumen, and player development are vital elements of Demon basketball. His breakdowns of practice and game video results in steady improvement by the NSU players, who frequently make their way up the aisle on the team bus on road trips to sit with Lewit and glean his precise observations on their games. His impact has been immense as well in social development, academic goal setting, and expanding NSU’s recruitment base. His contributions helped the Demon program earn two NCAA academic plaudits in 2014 – national public recognition in May for ranking among the country’s top 10 percent on the Academic Progress Rate study, and then in October, No. 1 rankings in the Southland Conference and among Louisiana’s public institutions (again) on the NCAA Graduation Success Rate with a near-perfect 98 percent. Yet in his understated way, Lewit says he is getting the better part of the deal as a Demon basketball family member. “I am truly blessed to be an assistant coach on Coach McConathy’s staff,” Lewit said. “He is a proven winner who has built a very special basketball program, and most

One-on-one with ... Coach Bill Lewit Your family shares a close bond with Billy Donovan’s family. Do you keep in contact with Coach Donovan and how much of a resource is he to your career? Lewit: “My dad and mom grew up in Rockville Center, N.Y., on Long Island and my dad was a year ahead of Billy Donovan’s dad at St. Agnes Cathedral High School in Rockville Center and they were both members of the basketball program. Billy’s uncle, Don Sullivan was my dad’s best man in his wedding held at St. Agnes. Don Sullivan lived two doors down from my grandmother in Rockville Center, N.Y. Our families have shared time together, and I can remember as an 8th grader watching Billy play during his senior year in high school at St. Agnes during the 1982-1983 season. My older brother Bob was a senior in high school that year at Red Bank Regional in New Jersey and his team finished 31-0 winning the state title and the No. 1 overall state ranking in the Newark Star Ledger. Early in my coaching career I used to work Billy’s summer camps at Marshall University and University of Florida, and I learned so much from being around him and his staff during those years. Billy has always been a viable resource but I have not stayed as connected to him in recent years.” You bring a championship background to NSU, having coached Cecil College to a national championship. What have you taken from that experience into your career at the Division I level? Lewit: “I learned so many things about building and sustaining a program during my time as head JUCO coach that has helped me add value to any Division I program. First, it is about a plethora of responsibilities outside the lines, such as fundraising, budgeting, scheduling, recruiting, academics, community service, student services, camps, public relations, managing people, etc. Second, I learned the value of player, person, student, development, such as making players better with persistent skill improvement and better understanding of the game by breaking down and analyzing film with them, teaching life skills during teachable moments, life skills workshops with guest presenters, academic improvement by utilizing existing and developing resources. Thirdly, I understand the premium you must put on relationships and how to be resourceful especially at schools that are not funded nearly led the team in receptions and receiving yards, held the basketball team’s highest free throw and 3-point shooting percentage, and won the overall Male Scholar-Athlete of the Year Award. To this day, Lewit is still the only athlete at Salisbury to earn four varsity letters in both football and basketball. One of his biggest collegiate highlights was when he recorded 17 points, five rebounds and four assists in the conference championship game to help lead Salisbury earn an automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament. Lewit earned a Bachelor’s in Communications in 1991, and Master’s in Education/ Counseling in 1993, both from Salisbury. In high school, Lewit earned a combined nine varsity letters in football, basketball and baseball at Red Bank Regional HS (N.J.). As a senior, he was named to the all-county team in all three sports. Some of his biggest high school accolades were winning three division titles in basketball, being selected for the Vince Lombardi Rock and Granite award as one of Monmouth County’s elite football players, and being honored as Red Bank Regional’s Most Outstanding Male Athlete in 1987.

as well as the competition. You have to show your players how much you care about them before they can appreciate how much you know. You have to develop relationships with people so you can connect the dots when a problem calls for an immediate solution or a long-term solution. You have to make sacrifices and stretch a dollar as far as you can. As small college coach, you learn to be versatile as you have to wear many hats and that makes you that much more of a sustainable employee. All the skills I was able to hone at the junior college level as a head coach has prepared me to assist or lead at any level.” How would you describe your personal coaching philosophy? Lewit: ” It is vital that you communicate effectively to your players that they need to accept being part of something bigger than themselves. The team takes precedence over their individual needs and when the team succeeds then they will succeed. I believe it was JFK who said: “When the sea rises all the ships rise with it.” You have a finite amount of time to develop your players and team and you need to plan your work and work you plan. Strength and conditioning, individual skill improvement through repetition of the fundamentals, demanding effort while teaching team execution are essential building blocks between the lines. I’m a proponent of the five laws of teaching: 1) Tell them, 2) show them, 3) have them demonstrate, 4) correct 5) repeat. I think it is important they understand there is a meaningful scoreboard everyday whether it be measurable shooting drills, conditioning drills, ball handling drills, intrasquad scrimmage, etc. There is also intangibles that are not necessarily easy to measure but are equally important such as: leadership, motivation, discipline, confidence, accountability, sportsmanship, competitiveness, teamwork, positive attitude, work ethic (one more mentality), sacrifice, respect, and effective communication. I believe in treating players equally but not necessarily identically. The rules will apply to all of them but the way you motivate, approach, relate, teach might be different. As a coach, you need to take advantage of the platform you have and teach life lessons as they may or may not relate to basketball. It is my fervent wish that player’s not only earn a degree but obtain an education.” Furthermore, Lewit became the youngest Red Bank Regional Alumni to be inducted into the Red Bank Regional Distinguished Alumni Hall of Fame in April, 2010. Lewit is an avid New York sports fan and supports the Yankees, Giants, Knicks and Islanders. His connections in sports to this day are outstanding. His basketball teammate at Salisbury, Russell Springmann, is an assistant coach with the Texas Longhorns basketball team. One of Lewit’s college football teammates, Dan Quinn, is the defensive coordinator for the National Football League’s Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks. Jareem Dowling, one of Lewit’s athletes and former assistants at Cecil, is an assistant basketball coach at Southern Mississippi. Lewit is the son of Bob and Maureen Lewit. His parents and two brothers, Bob Jr. and Greg, live in New Jersey. His grandmother, Angela Lewit, currently resides in Tampa, Fla. His family has always been his biggest inspiration in life as they stressed Catholic faith, family, education, athletics, work ethic and serving others.

What has been the most important thing you have learned from Coach McConathy and his staff? Long: “The most important thing I have learned from Coach Mike is that you have to know who you are. He always talks about how, in order to be successful, you have to know who you are and what you can do, not what others can do, but still have great expectations for yourself and our players.” Your father was a longtime coach. Do you see any similarities between him and Coach McConathy? Long: “Sometimes I do, they are similar in their personalities. My dad got out of coaching and into administration when I was young, but from what I remember he really got after his players and they both carried a lot of the same expectations on and off the floor from their players. What are your career ambitions and how has your time here helped enhance them? Long: “My ultimate goal is to remain in Division I coaching for the rest of my career. Working for Coach Mike and working alongside coaches like Coach (Jeff) Moore has helped me tremendously in my development as a young coach. Our staff is very diverse, and has taught me all of the little things that go into helping run the program smoothly. The biggest thing I have learned from working here that will help me reach my goals is taking care of the important things. Winning games is obviously extremely important, but the things that make that easier are what we focus on here -- academic achievement and community involvement.”

EX-NSU POINT GUARD MIKE BREY BEGINS 14TH YEAR COACHING NOTRE DAME While answering the first question at the July 15, 2000 press conference announcing his hiring as basketball coach at Notre Dame, Mike Brey talked about his days playing college basketball for Tynes Hildebrand at Northwestern State. Brey, a two-year starter for the Demons, still ranks eighth at NSU in career assists with 311 from 1977-80, an average of 4.3 per game. He led the team as a sophomore with 180, still the fifth-best single-season total in school history. In the moments after being introduced as the new Notre Dame coach, Brey listed Hildebrand alongside Duke’s Mike Krzyzewski and Morgan Wooten, the legendary DeMatha High School coach, as major influences in his basketball philosophies. Brey played for Wooten, who helped Hildebrand recruit him. After college, Brey coached under Wooten, then moved to Duke and helped the Blue Devils reach six Final Fours and win two NCAA titles. Brey then took over as head coach at Delaware and was 99-52 there in five years before taking the Notre Dame job. When Brey took over, the Irish hadn’t been to the NCAA Tournament in 11 seasons. Now beginning his 13th season coaching the Irish, Brey has led Notre Dame to eight NCAA Tournaments, six first-round wins, and a trip to the 2003 Sweet Sixteen after winning the Big East Conference championship -- along with four NIT appearances. In 2010-11, Brey won the U.S. Basketball Writers Association Henry Iba Coach of the Year Award as the national coach of the year after leading the Fighting Irish to a No. 4 national ranking and a No. 2 seed in the NCAA Tournament. Adding in his time at Delaware, Brey had a streak of 15 straight postseason appearances, including 10 NCAA Tournaments, until last season and he has an overall 399-210 career record, 300-159 at Notre Dame.

TOP 100 DEMONS OF THE CENTURY (1912-2012) CHOOSING THE TOP 100: To commemorate the Centennial Celebration of Demon Basketball for the 2012-13 season, a Top 100 Demon Basketball Players of the Century roster was selected. Selections were made by a blue-ribbon panel of media, coaches, former players and longtime observers of the NSU program. Players from this 2012-13 team were not eligible for consideration. The group was split into two different groups, the “Fantastic 50,” that spans from 1912-13 until 1975-76 and the “Fab 50” that spans from 1976-77 until 2012-13. The honorary captains were chosen by the panel as their stories emerged during the Top 100 selection process.

Northwestern State’s first All-America basketball player, winning that honor in 1941. He later became head basketball coach at NSU and guided the Demons to an outstanding 129-76 (.629) record in seven years at the helm, never experiencing a losing season during his entire tenure. Also an excellent trackman, Thomas was enshrined into the Northwestern State Graduate “N” Club Hall of Fame in 1971.

JOHNNY MCCONATHY

Northwestern’s second All-America selection, the father of Demon baskeball coach Mike McConathy earned that distinction for his play during the 1951 season. McConathy set a school record for most points scored in a single season with 562 and a 21.6 average. He was invited to play in the College All-Star Game in Chicago and was the fifth pick in the first round of the 1951 NBA Draft by Syracuse. McConathy, who also participated in track at NSU, was a member of the 1973 class that was enshrined into the Graduate “N” Club Hall of Fame.

VERNON WILSON

Named as an All-America in 1973, Wilson remains NSU’s all-time leader in average points-per-game with a career figure of 20.6 ppg, scoring 1,548 points in just 75 games. Wilson led the Demons in scoring during each of the 1971, ’72 and ’73 seasons, earning team MVP honors for those three years. Named the 1971 Gulf States Conference Rookie of the Year, first team all-Louisiana in ’72 and ’73, he was chosen to the first team of the NAIA District 30 squad that toured Israel while playing against that country’s Olympic team.

BASKETBALL Northwestern State has a long, proud tradition of producing highly successful basketball coaches

Northwestern State University’s long tradition of producing educators is easily traced back to 1884. It was then that Louisiana State Normal School was formed and dedicated to the preparation of teachers. Coaches are, in the most fundamental sense of the word, teachers. They issue highly technical instructions, they constantly test their students, and they seek to inspire them. Basketball coaches at Northwestern have been doing it for almost a century now. These “teachers” have turned out hundreds of great students who have become successful coaches. The tradition of producing basketball coaches from within the Demon program goes back to: H. Lee Prather, Charles”Red” Thomas, Huey Cranford, Tynes Hildebrand, Wayne Yates, Don Beasley, Dan Bell, J.D. Barnett and continues today under Mike McConathy. NSU’s acclaimed School of Health and Human Performance has produced many notable high school and college coaches. These coaches were taught by the likes of Buddy Bonnette and Jim Simmons. At last count the list of NSU graduates in the coaching ranks (past and present) in the sport of basketball is well over 500. Here is a partial list of some notable former Demon players and NSU graduates who have made impact in the coaching profession (please submit additions via e-mail to ireland@nsula.edu):

PRATHER COLISEUM

Perhaps the toughest arena to play in the Southland Conference, Prather Coliseum is now in its sixth decade of hosting Northwestern State basketball and is named after H. Lee Prather, the all-time winningest coach in Demon Basketball history. The 3,400-seat multi-purpose facility was constructed in 1963 and sits on the banks of Chaplin’s Lake, just south of Turpin Stadium. The coliseum houses offices for men’s and women’s basketball, volleyball, soccer, the NSU news bureau and sports information offices. The arena was given a major facelift before the 2012-13 season with the addition of a permanent wood floor that fits three basketball courts, attractive new courtside purple seating that includes end-zone bleachers and new interior signage and banners.

PONTIAC GAME CHANGING PERFORMANCE

General Motors Regional Director Tim Hughes (right) presents a check to Demon head coach Mike McConathy, NSU President Dr. Randy Webb and the Demons.

One shot, years in the making, and making a difference for years to come. There’s obvious historic sports significance of the game-winning 3-point basket just before the buzzer by NSU’s Jermaine Wallace in the 2006 NCAA Tournament win over 15th-ranked Iowa. It’s burned into the history of March Madness and is sure to reappear for years to come, in anticipation of more magic by underdog teams, and in comparison to fantastic finishes yet to be achieved. But the shot also has a more tangible impact at Northwestern, thanks to General Motors and its sponsorship of the Pontiac Game-Changing Performance contests awarding $100,000 to the university whose moment in each March Madness is voted by fans as the most spectacular play of that year’s NCAA Tournament. There is a $5,000 winner for each of the four weeks in the tournament, and the “final four” winners compete against each other before the fans vote determines the top prize winner during the national championship game. The funds are designated for use in the university’s general scholarship fund. Fans in 2006 picked the Wallace game-winner as the play of the tournament. GM Regional director Tim Hughes came to the NSU campus to present the $100,000 check to President Dr. Randy Webb, Coach Mike McConathy and the Demons. McConathy and a committee including university faculty and administrators set up guidelines for the money. McConathy and the group set up an endowment with the money, so that it would benefit students for decades to come. The “Wallace Pontiac Game Changing Performance Scholarship” is dedicated to undergraduate students who have attended college for at least four years in pursuit of their first undergraduate degree. The $750 per/semester award goes to students who meet criteria including: • Leadership outside of the classroom • Participation and leadership in recognized student organizations, spirit groups, marching band, club sports or intercollegiate sports for athletes who have completed their eligibility • Community and university service Already, dozens of NSU students have been helped by the scholarship. One grateful recipient is Sandra Shirah, a non-traditional student from Pineville. She was a criminal justice major and single mother who graduated in December of 2007. Her daughter was a student at Louisiana College while her mother attended Northwestern. Shirah took her classes online as many NSU students do. She saw an e-mail notice

about the scholarship sent to all NSU undergraduates and applied for the scholarship. She had been affiliated with the Pineville police department for 20 years. She had a long list of community service activities, including teaching resume development to inner city residents. “If not for the Wallace Pontiac scholarship, I would not have been able to complete getting my undergraduate degree without taking out another student loan,” she said. That’s just one shining example of how the shot that made Demons’ dreams come true in March Madness will do the same thing for generations of NSU students.

COACH MIKE IS A WINNING THOROUGHBRED Mike McConathy is a winning coach, but Coach Mike is also a winning horse. Natchitoches native, NSU graduate and longtime Louisiana thoroughbred horse owner Firal Ryder, a late longtime season-ticket holder, named one of his horses after the Demons’ coach. “Coach Mike” has lifetime earnings of more than $300,000. She – yes, that’s right, this “Coach Mike” is a filly – made her big splash at the Fair Grounds in New Orleans, wining a $50,000 allowance race.

There has been a substantial increase in the number of high school valedictorians and Vice President for Technology, Research and Economic Development: salutatorians among first-time freshmen at the university. External funding for NSU has also increased dramatically under Webb’s leadership. In the first capital campaign in its history, the . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Dr. Darlene Williams university received $32.7 million to far exceed its goal of $18.84 million. A second campaign, which concluded in 2012, raised more than $36 million, surpassing a goal of $25 million. That funding included the establishment of numerous endowed chairs and professorships to enhance academic programs at the university. In addition to the private funding, Northwestern State has received more grant monies in recent years from state and federal agencies and private foundations than at any time since its founding in 1884. Webb has also expanded the university’s outreach by spearheading the development at NSU of the largest electronic education and distance learning network of any university in Louisiana. Northwestern State offers courses and 34 accredited degree programs to students across the nation and world through Internet and compressed video. Several university online programs have been rated as being among the best buys in the United States. Millions of dollars have been obtained during Webb’s presidency for new and renovated facilities. The new facilities include the Wellness, Recreation and Activity Center, Student Services Center and University Place I and II. Morrison Hall, the Family and Consumer Sciences Building, Williamson Hall, Russell Hall and Caspari Hall have been completely renovated and restored. Northwestern State’s academic programs and athletic teams continue to receive positive national recognition. The Computer Information Systems program has won 12 national championships in academic competition over the past 12 years. The university achieved Tier I status in the U.S. News and World Report ranking of regional universities on two occasions. The master’s program in nursing was rated as one of the Top 100 by U.S. News. A new Doctor of Nursing Practice program was created along with a Post Master’s Certificate in Global Security and Intelligence and a master’s in homeland security. The university has added new undergraduate academic programs in theatre, criminal justice, unified public safety administration, organizational leadership, addiction studies, liberal arts, general studies, communication and allied health under Webb. Northwestern State is looking to add and enhance academic programs that meet the state’s workforce development needs. Several faculty earned prestigious Fulbright Fellowships to teach internationally and Northwestern State students have received several of the top scholarships awarded for graduate studies. Demon and Lady Demon athletic teams have won team conference championships in baseball, men’s and women’s basketball, football, soccer, softball and women’s tennis and had numerous All-Americans in men’s and women’s track and field. Student-athletes at Northwestern State also excel academically as the university has the state’s top five-year average among Louisiana Division I Football Championship Subdivision schools in the NCAA’s Graduation Success Rate study. Northwestern State is among the Southland Conference leaders in graduation rates. The athletic program has also recorded strong results on the NCAA Academic Progress Report led by state and Southland Conference-best scores by the men’s basketball program in the latest survey. A former center on the Northwestern football team, Webb is an avid supporter of the university’s athletic programs and has held positions of leadership at the national level in intercollegiate athletics. He has served as chair of the board of directors of the Southland Conference and has been a member of the prestigious NCAA Executive Council and the NCAA Division I Board of Directors that oversee all major policy decisions by the governing body for major college sports. He served as the Southland Conference representative on the NCAA Presidential Advisory Group. A 1965 graduate of Northwestern in mathematics and business education, Webb earned a master of science degree in mathematics from NSU in 1966. He received a doctorate in education from the University of Southern Mississippi in 1971 with a concentration in mathematics and research. Webb was a member of the faculty of Longwood College in Farmville, Va., from 1966 until 1974. He served as Director of Higher Education and Teacher Certification in the Louisiana Department of Education from 1974 through 1976. He moved to Southeastern Louisiana University in 1976 and in 13 years there held positions as director of institutional research, EEO officer, registrar and member of the mathematics faculty. He became Dean of Instruction and Graduate Studies and professor of mathematics at Northwestern in 1989. In that position, he was responsible for campus-wide policy development, planning, advancement, and review of both graduate and undergraduate programs. While Webb was in that position, graduate enrollment increased by 35 percent, and internal funding for faculty research increased by 200 percent. As dean, Webb proposed the concept for NSU’s successful Freshman Connection Program and served as a member of the writing team for a grant proposal that resulted in a five year, $1.7 million Title III grant to improve student retention. He also chaired the steering committee for NSU’s Self Study for the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. He has been active in the community as a member of the board of directors of the Natchitoches Chamber of Commerce and as a member of the Association for the Preservation of Historic Natchitoches, the Natchitoches Historic Foundation, the Natchitoches-Northwestern Symphony Society, Rotary Club, and the First Baptist Church. Webb and his wife Brenda have two daughters, both honor graduates of Northwestern State. Tamara and her husband, former NSU All-America baseball pitcher Reggie Gatewood, live in Long Valley, N.J., with their children Tyler and Ava. Lauren is married to former outstanding NSU baseball player Nick Simokaitis, and they live in Crestwood, Mo., with their sons Nicholas and Benjamin. Randy and Brenda Webb

He makes weekly rounds to all departments just to stay in touch with us and see how faculty members and our students are doing. He is not an untouchable leader, and I think that is a remarkable quality. I am very sad to see him leave BPCC, but I have no doubt he will be an excellent choice for NSU.” Amy Williams, Assistant Professor of Nursing, Bossier Parish Community College

“Northwestern has great days ahead. Dr. Henderson is a man of the highest level. He is a person of great integrity and knows how to empower people.

Jerry Pierce

Vice President • External Affairs Only a handful of people have served Northwestern State as long as Jerry Pierce has, and nobody has done so in a more understated manner. In his 50th year on the university’s staff, Pierce’s impact on NSU and the city of Natchitoches is indelible. He’s never wanted or gotten top billing, but consistently, he gets results to benefit the university. He is in his 24th year as vice president of external affairs at Northwestern. A significant aspect of his job is oversight of intercollegiate athletics. Pierce works closely with athletic director Greg Burke and all NSU coaches and staff members to keep Northwestern athletics competing at a championship level week after week, month after month and year after year. Pierce is an avid tennis player who has been a member of USTA teams that have won more than a dozen state championships, five regional titles and one national championship. Well before moving into the executive position, Pierce had already served his alma mater, adopted hometown and state with distinction.

Greg Burke

Director of Athletics The Burke File

AGE: 58 (Born Oct. 22, 1956) • HOMETOWN: Alliance, Ohio • HIGH SCHOOL: Marlington ’74 • COLLEGE: Mt. Union ’78 (cum laude) POSTGRADUATE: Kent State ’86 • BEFORE HE WAS A.D.: Sports writer, Alliance (Ohio) Review, 1972-78; director of news and sports information, Hiram (Ohio) College (1978-85); administrative intern, NSU athletics, 1985-86; director, NSU Athletic Association, 1986-92; director of athletic development, University of Akron, 1992-96. BIG FAN OF: Cleveland Browns, Indians and Cavaliers • INTERESTS: Working out, watching ESPN and VH1 Classic, family outings.

In his 19th year as director of athletics at Northwestern State, Greg Burke has received national acclaim for the job he’s done in his adopted hometown. Burke has been athletics director at Northwestern since Aug. 29, 1996, when his first day included speaking at the annual NSU/Independence Bowl Kickoff Luncheon. Burke is the longest serving AD at any Louisiana or Southland Conference institution. He has steered NSU athletics to many of its greatest accomplishments while overseeing a program that has fielded championship caliber teams in nearly all of the school’s NCAA Division I sports. Last February, he was presented the “Outstanding Contributions to Amateur Football Award” by the north Louisiana chapter of the National Football Foundation and College Football Hall of Fame. Two years ago, he was included among 29 winners of the Under Amour AD of the Year Award presented by the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA). Burke was the 2010-11 president of the Football Championship Subdivision Athletics Directors Association. He has just been named to the newly formed NCAA Committee on Academics, a 20-person group replacing the Committee on Academic Performance, which included Burke, and the NCAA Academic Cabinet. Burke also has served on the NCAA Championships/Sports Management Cabinet. He previously served a four-year term on the NCAA Division I Football Issues Committee (1999-2002) and concurrently served a term on the eight-member NCAA FCS Committee that administers the national playoffs. Burke has served as a site supervisor for Football Championship Subdivision playoff games across the nation, and he is regarded as one of the country’s premiere advocates of FCS football. Burke’s 17 years as athletic director include 37 Southland Conference regular-season or tournament championships, 61 All-American and Academic All-American student athletes, and three U.S. Olympic competitors. Twenty NSU teams have taken part in NCAA or WNIT postseason competition. All of the school’s athletic facilities have undergone nearly $7 million in improvements in the past four years. Burke spearheaded a $2 million series of sponsorships for new scoreboards installed for 2008-09 at all NSU athletic venues; the $700,000 Second Century Circle fencing project for athletic venues; and a $500,000 softball grandstand project completed earlier this year. NSU in 2004-05 became the first (and remains the only) Southland Conference member in the league’s five decades of history to sweep football, men’s basketball and baseball championships in the same athletic year. It’s been done only once in Southeastern Conference history, by Alabama in 1933-34, and only four times in Big Ten Conference history, the last time by Michigan State in 1979-80. Those accomplishments have come with one of the more modest athletic budgets in the state and conference. Burke’s management skill and fundraising ability have been pivotal. Burke has displayed a remarkable ability to hire dynamic head coaches. In just their second seasons, women’s basketball co-head coaches Brooke and Scott Stoehr guided NSU to the NCAA Tournament while baseball coach Lane Burroughs executed the best one-season turnaround in Southland Conference history and tied NSU’s school record. Anchors of the NSU department include current gead coaches Mike McConathy, Louisiana’s all-time career basketball wins leader; 2013 Louisiana softball coach of the Year Donald Pickett; Hugh and Stephanie Hernesman, who just led the volleyball program to its best two seasons in the 31-year history of the program; and Patric DuBois, whose Lady Demon tennis program has two Southland Conference titles in the past four years. Several other Burke hires had great success at Northwestern State that propelled them to national prominence in subsequent positions. From his first day on the job, Burke has stressed the importance of having a balanced athletic program. To that end, tremendous competitive strides have been made in women’s athletics under his guidance. Along with the aforementioned volleyball surge, NSU’s soccer program was the first in Louisiana to reach the NCAA Tournament. Softball and tennis made NCAA Tournament appearances in 2013, the second in four seasons for Lady Demon tennis, and softball returned in 2014. Burke has established a high standard for NSU Athletics in academic achievement and community service. The academic accomplishments are reflected annually in the NCAA’s APR and GSR studies. Community service by NSU student-athletes, coaches and staff more than doubled to over 5,000 hours in 2009-10 and has remained at that level. Burke spearheaded the adoption of the slogan “Great Tradition, Brighter Future” for NSU Athletics, and the creation of NSU Athletics “Cornerstones” for student-athletes: “Academic Achievement, Personal Responsibility, Competitive Success … Every Minute, Every Hour, Every Day!” In 2005, Burke was one of three recipients of the All-America Football Foundation’s Gen. Robert R. Neyland Outstanding Athletic Director Award and that same year, was also tabbed as one of two Natchitoches Parish Cenla Newsmakers of 2005 by the Alexandria Town Talk newspaper’s editorial staff. He received the 2006 “Outstanding Alumni Award” from his alma mater, Marlington High School in Alliance, Ohio, recognizing his community service and professional achievements. Burke became one of only 21 alumni honored since the award was instituted in 1982. Burke is a past president of the Natchitoches Kiwanis Club and remains active in that civic group. He has also been part of the steering committee for the Natchitoches Christmas Festival and is a former president of the Natchitoches Area Jaycees. He is involved with the American Heart Association and was 2010 March of Dimes chairman locally. His wife, Susu, is a Natchitoches native, NSU graduate and an elementary teacher. Their 20-year-old daughter, Catherine, graduated from St. Mary’s High School in May of 2012 and attends Louisiana Tech. Burke with his wife Susu and daughter Catherine

Since 2006, Northwestern State University has made numerous paradigm shifts in how it addresses the needs of student-athletes; however, one thing has been consistent in that its student-athletes are winners on the field and in the classroom. All have heard about higher educational institutions being penalized by the NCAA for academic improprieties. NSU has attempted to be a model program of “Doing Things the Right Way,” by following the Athletic Department motto: Great Tradition – Brighter Future. This past year, NSU was one of only four schools in the State of Louisiana that did not receive any penalties for low NCAA Academic Progress Rates (APR) with baseball, soccer, softball, tennis, women’s indoor & outdoor track, and volleyball rating in the top three in the Southland Conference. Among the 40 Northwestern State student-athletes and athletic staff members who graduated in spring 2010, 10 of the 20 receiving undergraduate degrees graduated either cum laude or magna cum laude. Graduation rates of student-athletes in soccer, volleyball, men’s basketball, baseball and football ranked in the top four of the Conference. These accomplishments could not have been achieved without the support and efforts of the student-athletes, coaches, faculty, and administration. Also, Jody is the Director for the Louisiana Addiction Technology Transfer Center at NSU. He has served on the National Addiction Technology Transfer Center’s (ATTC) - Practice and National Leadership Institute Committee. In addition, he has coordinated five nationally recognized leadership institutes for Louisiana, Texas and New Mexico and a member of the National ATTC Leadership Directors Committee.
