2015-16 PREVIEW

minutes per game in veteran coach Mike McConathy’s traditionally deep rotation. Northwestern State had one significant graduation loss, 6-foot-8 senior Marvin Frazier (8.2 ppg, 5.2 rpg, third on NSU’s career blocks list), who missed a month of the Southland season with an ankle injury. Newcomers Levi Yancy (6-8, 185, junior), Ishmael Lane (6-8, 250, freshman), Colby Koontz (6-9, 250, freshman) and Malik Metoyer (6-7, 190, freshman) will try to bolster the Demons’ inside game. The “J-Z on Tour” duo is far from the only battle-tested, productionproven veterans back in 2015-16, the 10th anniversary of NSU’s greatest team, the “Demons of Destiny.” That 2005-06 club won 26 games, including regular-season triumphs at Mississippi State and Oklahoma State and a neutral-site win over Oregon State. A pair of losses, a double-overtime neutral-court nailbiter to Iowa State and a last-second defeat at Wichita State, helped forge the fortitude to produce an NCAA Tournament win over 15th-ranked Iowa, which was a No. 3 seed. That squad brimmed with players who could provide winning contributions at any point, and this one has a somewhat similar cast. Senior swingman Matt Killian has 22 career starts and developed into an offensive threat last season. Senior guard Ta’Jon Welcome showed explosive ability in his first year at NSU, while junior Tra’von Joseph recorded three double-doubles helping inside. Junior guard Sabri Thompson averaged 12.2 points in the last six games. Sophomore point guard Devonte Hall made two game-winning plays against Southland foes UIW (a coast-to-coast layup) and McNeese State (a clinching blocked shot) in a solid freshman campaign. “We have a lot of new faces, a lot of old faces, and we’re excited,” said McConathy. “The returners we have were all very special for us last year and we believe they will be even more productive this season. We have four very capable signees who could be impactful.” Southland coaches and sports information directors each picked the Demons to challenge for the conference crown, ranking NSU second in preseason polls in the 13team league. “We don’t talk a lot about it. I think everybody knows we should have a pretty good team. You’ve got to go out and prove that,” said McConathy. “We need to play like we’ve got a bulls-eye on our back. Junior guard Tra’von Joseph provides a burst of Play a little hungry, play a little angry even, trying to prove we’re a athleticism on the wing for the Demons. team that can be at the top of our league.” West, a 5-foot-10 point guard, has averaged 6.4 assists per game for his career and is on pace to finish among the NCAA’s top 25 all time in that category. His 2.6-to-1 career assist-to-turnover ratio ranks him in the top 15 in NCAA history. NSU has been either first (last year) or second nationally in scoring in his 2015-16 Northwestern State Men’s Basketball Media Guide

Northwestern State’s dynamic “J-Z on Tour” featuring Jalan West and Zeek Woodley, together for the third straight season, has a strong supporting cast and what could be a significantly upgraded inside game as the Demons take aim at a Southland Conference championship and a second NCAA Tournament berth in four seasons. West and Woodley were the highest scoring teammates in college basketball last year with their 42.2 average half of the 84 figure that allowed the Demons to lead the NCAA in team scoring for the second time in program history. Woodley finished second nationally in scoring (22.2) while West scored 20 per game (16th in the country) and led the NCAA in assists with a 7.7 average. NSU (19-13) made its fourth postseason tournament appearance this century last March, being selected for the CollegeInsider.com Tournament. The Demons return four starters plus two more who got at least 11 starts in 2014-15, and seven players who averaged at least 16

three seasons and has made postseason appearances in two of those Among the other non-conference contests, NSU hosts NAIA Tournathree years, going 59-34 in that span, 40-14 in Southland regularment entry LSU Alexandria, ancient rival Louisiana College, and goes to season play. its Shreveport-Bossier fan base to visit Division III Centenary. Woodley, a 6-2 swingman who was the 2014-15 Southland Basketball Student-Athlete of the Year (3.3 GPA), broke the Demons’ 38-year-old single-season scoring mark with 711 points. He was also 26th nationally with his 56 percent shooting aim. Woodley drained 39.8 percent of his 3-pointers, making 39, and hit 81.3 percent at the free throw line, while he averaged 5.0 rebounds per game. As usual, NSU will prepare for the challenging 18-game Southland schedule with a demanding, diverse non-conference slate. There are five visits to Power 5 conference programs, including 2015 NCAA Tournament entries Arizona (who reached the Elite 8), Baylor, Arkansas and Ole Miss, along with a rising Auburn team. The Demons host in-state rival UL Monroe, which won 24 games and reached the finals of the College Basketball Invitational. 2015-16 Northwestern State Men’s Basketball Media Guide Southland Conference Champions: 2004-05 • 2005-06 Southland Conference Tournament Champions: 2001 • 2006 • 2013

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

“Any player who plays some serious HO-R-S-E with his school’s president is OK by me. According to Sports-Reference, the only player on this list who was worth more win shares than Jalan West last season: Kyle Wiltjer. West is a guy who, according to coaches I’ve spoken with in the Southland, is quite clearly the best player in the league. He led the nation in assist average, and at 5-foot-10, is one of the most entertaining guys out there. Root for his team to make the NCAA Tournament.” -- Matt Norlander, CBS Sports

“West has the skill to be the next player in the Stephen Curry and Damian Lillard club of mid-major players who become NBA stars.” -- Kerry Miller, Bleacher Report national college basketball columnist

“His numbers are inflated by Northwestern State’s uptempo style of play. That doesn’t make him any less talented though.” -- Rob Dauster, NBCSports.com analyst

“The Demons single-handedly kept last season from being the lowestscoring in college basketball’s modern history. And West was a big reason why. He’s the rare #ShootersClub candidate that can make 3’s and get to the free throw line in decent numbers. In his three seasons at Natchitoches, West has made 40.1% of his bombs against D-I opponents. He’s also attempted 418 free throws, making 86% of those. At 5-10, he’s the shortest member of this season’s club, so don’t let size get in the way of your sharpshooting dreams, kids. He popped up on at least one top 100 list and he may find himself on an NBA summer league roster in a few months.” -- Ken Pomeroy, KenPom.com

Championship Basketball ... With A Purpose Mike McConathy Head Coach 32nd season (611-399) 17th season at NSU (259-240) Louisiana Tech, 1977 In Southland Conference and Louisiana 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 state and conference 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 17th season at Northwestern State, where his father (John), his sons (Michael and Logan), and his uncles (George and Leslie) all played. McConathy notched his 600th career collegiate coaching victory and coached his 1,000th college contest last season. With 611 victories in 32 seasons, including 19 triumphs in 2014-15, 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 611-399 overall with a 259-240 record at NSU, including 73 regular-season “guarantee” games at non-conference foes, going 254-167 (.603) 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 12 conference tourney trips during his first 16 seasons. Only the Demons (2005-08) and Louisiana-Monroe (1990-93) have made four straight championship game appearances in the five decades of Southland basketball competition. NSU is 18-9 in Southland Tournament play, and captured the 2001, 2006 and 2013 Southland Tournament crowns, with McConathy in charge. That ’13 title gave NSU its third NCAA Tournament appearance under McConathy. NSU is 2-3 in the “Big Dance,” beating Winthrop (2001) and Iowa (2006). The Demons dumped a Gregg Marshall-coached Winthrop squad in the inaugural Opening Round game in Dayton in ’01 and overcame a 17-point deficit in the last 8:32 to stun Steve Alford-coached 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 are toughened each season by a challenging non-conference slate of games – NSU played the nation’s fifth-toughest out-of-conference schedule two seasons ago – 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 of 2013-14 and a run of 11 wins in 13 games late last season. Since the start of his 16 seasons as coach at Bossier Parish Community College in his hometown, McConathy has constantly promoted educational values for, and with, his players. Almost 90 percent of the seniors in his NSU program have graduated. More than half the team has been on the NSU honor roll in the past two years. 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 16 seasons. Last May, NSU led the Southland and state again with a 982 score. His program is #Southland Strong: The Demons are 40-14 (.741) in confer-

ence regular-season play in the last three years, 56-28 (.667) in the last five. McConathy is 177-126 (.584) against Southland foes, including 159-119 (.572) 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 31-8 at home overall in the past three seasons, 57-14 in the last five years, and has won 72 percent of its home games (153-61) under McConathy. Known for years as “Coach Mike” to his players, McConathy is among a select group of major college mentors. Less than two dozen Division I basketball coaches have been at their current school for 17 years. His peers in this distinction include Mike Krzyzewski (Duke), Tom Izzo (Michigan State), and Jim Boeheim (Syracuse). 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. “Coach Mike” is nationally respected by those who coach, and cover, the game. For the 10th 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 nine 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

Championship Basketball ... With A Purpose 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. National television and radio analysts and announcers such as Fox Sports’ Tim Brando and Doug Gottlieb, Verne Lundquist and Bill Raftery of CBS Sports, Fran Fraschilla and Jerry Punch of ESPN, and Charles Barkley of TBS have expressed their admiration of McConathy, as much for his core values as for his coaching acumen. 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. His Demons have reached to the Southland Conference Tournament championship game seven times in his 16 seasons (2000, 2001, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2013). 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 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 17th 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 in-

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. Montgomery is also in the Louisiana Political Hall of Fame.

Championship Basketball ... With A Purpose terest 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. 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 2013-14. Northwestern State 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 -- a recurring theme that was one win shy of a repeat last season. 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 State 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 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

Championship Basketball ... With A Purpose 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.

Championship Basketball ... With A Purpose 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.

Championship Basketball ... With A Purpose Jeff Moore Assistant Coach 10th season at Northwestern State Missouri Valley, 1995

Entering his 10th 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 59 games in the last three seasons, while leading the nation in scoring in 2014-15 and ranking second nationally the previous two seasons. 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 two Southland Conference Freshmen of the Year, Jalan West (2013) and Zeek Woodley (2014), 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 athletic director in the junior college ranks at John Wood (Ill.) Community College. 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 seasons at Tyler, they qualified for the regional tournament every season. 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 class-

room. 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 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.”

Championship Basketball ... With A Purpose

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 math teacher at the NSU Lab School, have a beautiful and active 8 1/2-year-old daughter, Gracie, and a son, Caige (for Dad’s Cajun heritage), who will turn four in January.

Championship Basketball ... With A Purpose Bill Lewit Assistant Coach Fifth season at Northwestern State Salisbury,1991

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 four 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. The 2014-15 Demons captured the national scoring championship, averaging 84 points per game and extending Northwestern State’s history of high-scoring squads. NSU returned to the postseason after a one-year absence, garnering a berth in the CollegeInsider.com Tournament. Despite significant graduation departures, the 2013-14 Demons made their own mark. The 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 59 games in the past three 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 importantly empowers his staff and players to perform on and off the court with the same championship qualities he possesses. I know, just like all the players and coaches before me, I am better because of my experience with him.” Before coming to NSU, Lewit spent the previous two years at the University of New Orleans, where he was associate head coach while the Privateers were in the Sun Belt Conference. Like McConathy did at Bossier Parish Community College, Lewit built a perennial junior college national power at Cecil College in Maryland. Lewit’s 2005-06 team won a national championship, going 33-2. He guided the team to the No. 1 spot in the final regular season polls three times, and two top-7

finishes in each of his final 11 seasons. The 2006 team was the first team in NCJAA history to start as the No. 1 ranked team at the start of the season, end as the No. 1 ranked team in the final regular season poll, and go on to win the national title. Lewit earned National Coach of the Year in 2006, and he maintained 100 percent eligibility for his players across his 14 years and over 90 percent graduation of his sophomores. Additionally, Lewit’s Cecil teams won six Maryland Juco regular-season conference championships, five Maryland JUCO State Tournament Championships, six Region Championships, and 354 games. He was selected conference and region Coach of the Year a combined 15 times. Even before coaching, sports and competition had always been a big driving force for Lewit. He was a football and basketball standout from 1987-91 at Salisbury University (Md.).

One-on-one with Bill Lewit 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 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 a 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 your 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.”

Championship Basketball ... With A Purpose EX-NSU POINT GUARD MIKE BREY BEGINS 15TH 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. Brey guided the Fighting Irish to an Elite Eight appearance in his 16th postseason as a head coach, including his time at Delaware. Brey owns an overall 431-216 career record, 332-165 at Notre Dame.

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.

Shown (l-r) are Demons whose jersey numbers have been retired: Vernon Wilson, Dr. Charles “Red” Thomas, and Johnny McConathy

CHARLES “RED” THOMAS

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 State’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 scoring average 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.

Championship Basketball ... With A Purpose 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.

Championship Basketball ... With A Purpose 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 State, 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 State. 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 This photo by Gary Hardamon captured Jermaine Wallace getting ready to fire the winning shot. true in March Madness will do the same thing for generations of NSU students.

Dr. Jim Henderson

Northwestern State President

He opened his introductory press conference last September playfully asking why the student newspaper -- that he edited two decades ago -- played the story covering his selection as president-elect on Page 3. Then Dr. Jim Henderson held up the Current Sauce, with a full front page photo and headline commemorating the previous weekend’s landmark Demon football victory over old rival Louisiana Tech, and deadpanned: “they got it right.” The proud alumnus has shown tremendous passion for every aspect of Northwestern State University in his new role. He officially assumed the office Jan. 1 upon the retirement of Dr. Randall J. Webb, now president emeritus after leading NSU since the summer of 1996.

Dr. Darlene Williams in his previous campus leadership role, over the past six years at Bossier Parish Community College. His inclusive, transparent management style blends with a seemingly ever-present persona across the Natchitoches campus and anywhere Demons, or prospective Demons, may be. Henderson spent his first semester as NSU’s leader this spring establishing new bonds within the region, aiming to grow Northwestern State into the leading university in the region. He made reaching out to students and student-athletes a priority, gaining valuable feedback that helped Henderson guide NSU through the statewide threat of serious budget cuts that were finally averted last spring by the state legislature, with Henderson’s active lobbying contributing to the successful and remarkable preservation of current budget levels. Prior to NSU, Henderson served as chancellor of Bossier Parish Community College since 2009. In that time, BPCC expanded enrollment by more than 84 percent and increased annual certificate and degree completions by 90 percent. From 2011-13, BPCC was among the five fastest growing community colleges in the nation with enrollments of between 5,000 and 9,999. Under Henderson’s leadership, the college created market responsive programs in nursing, oil and gas technology, construction management, industrial technology and engineering. Henderson was senior vice president, workforce and economic development/career & technical education for the Louisiana Community & Technical College System from 2005 to 2009. He served as appointing authority and chief executive officer of the LCTCS comprised of eight regional technical colleges serving more than 26,000 students. Under his leadership, the statewide technical college system with 42 individually accredited campuses was transitioned into eight regionally accredited technical colleges. During Henderson’s tenure, LCTCS enrollment grew by 98 percent and helped obtain more than $65 million in grants, appropriations and private funding to enhance workforce development. In partnership with Louisiana Economic Development, Henderson helped create Louisiana FastStart, the nation’s top-ranked state workforce training program. From 2001 to 2005, he was director of administration and director of workforce development for the Louisiana Department of Labor. After graduating from NSU with a journalism degree in 1994, Henderson was in the private sector for 10 years in hotel management. He worked for Mississippi Management, Inc., Kemmons Wilson Companies and Ryco Management, playing a leadership role as each company achieved record growth in profitability. A native of Shreveport, Henderson met his wife Tonia at NSU and they married before both graduated. His mother, Martha, is a former administrator at NSU. His father, Clem, a revered high school coach and principal in Shreveport, passed away in March. NSU’s new president earned a Master of Science in Administration from the University of West Florida and a Doctor of Management from the University of Maryland – University College. The Hendersons have three children, Reagan, Nicholas and Alexander.

An Involved President When Dr. Jim Henderson took the reins at Northwestern State, the new NSU president didn’t stand on precedent. Instead, he set a few of his own. From his back-and-forths with student athletes and the student body as a whole on Twitter (@DrJBHenderson) to his appearance as the color anlayst during Northwestern State’s women’s basketball game against Stephen F. Austin Feb. 5, 2015, Henderson has infused the campuses that comprise Northwestern State University with a new energy that has filtered throughout northwest Louisiana. While pushing a serious message of improving NSU, Henderson has found a way to mix in some levity as well. A week before making his radio debut, Henderson became the first coach/president to be playfully ejected from an NSU Greek basketball game.

Dr. Jim Henderson (right) made his radio color analyst debut Feb. 5, 2015, during the Stephen F. Austin-Northwestern State women’s basketball game in Prather Coliseum.

Jerry Pierce

Vice President • External Affairs Few people have served Northwestern State as long as alumnus 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 25th 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. In his role as vice president, he oversees university operations in athletics, alumni and development, public and media relations and assists NSU Athletic Council President Dr. Jim Henderson in governmental affairs activities. Many of Jody Biscoe (Chair) those duties were his since the 1970s as he worked under five previous Hall Adams presidents as Northwestern advanced from NAIA to NCAA College Division LaCarsha Babers to NCAA Division I athletic status in 1977. Brittany Blackwell A 1961 graduate of Northwestern, Pierce served as trainer/manager Cole Gentry for the Demon football team during his college years, working closely with Baylee Gray (Student) legendary coach Jack Clayton. After earning his journalism degree, Pierce Kelee Grimes went to work for the New Orleans Times Picayune, serving as a reporter Steve Gruesbeck and editor. He was named executive sports editor at the age of 24. Lori LeBlanc In 1965, he chose to raise his two sons in Natchitoches and returned Dr. Jack Pace Dr. Charles Pellegrin to NSU as sports information director. He was promoted to news bureau Christie Price director two years later and assumed additional responsibilities in athletKelee Roddy ics, alumni affairs and other areas through the years. Steve Story He founded, in 1972, the Louisiana Sports Hall of Fame facility in Sabri Thompson (Student) Prather Coliseum on the NSU campus, providing a home for an entity created in 1958. He established annual induction activities that remain in Ex-Officio Members place nearly four decades later, and served as director of the Hall for 19 Greg Burke years until his promotion to vice president in April 1990 forced him to step Carrie Greene aside from the volunteer post. Dustin Eubanks Roxanne Freeman He helped guide Northwestern into three athletic conferences (Trans Dr. Patrice Moulton America, 1979; Gulf Star, 1983; Southland, 1987) and NCAA Division I staDr. Vicki Parrish tus in 1977. He is a past president of the Southland and has served the Jerry Pierce conference through other offices and committee positions. Dr. Randall Webb In 1994, he was named one of Louisiana’s 20 most influential sports figures by the Times-Picayune. Also on the list were New Orleans Saints owner Tom Benson, LSU athletic director Joe Dean and basketball coach Dale Brown, and Grambling football coaching legend Eddie Robinson. His salesmanship and managerial skills were instrumental in convincing Tri-Star Productions to film the 1989 smash hit movie “Steel Magnolias,” with an all-star cast including Julia Roberts, Sally Field and Dylan McDermott in Natchitoches and on the NSU campus. The movie’s impact on tourism in Natchitoches continues to resonate more than two decades later. Pierce is regarded as one of the most effective legislative liaisons for Louisiana’s higher education system. He is also a sought-after dinner speaker and master of ceremonies who has spoken at hundreds of events since 1965. In addition to his administrative responsibilities, Pierce is a member of the Journalism Department faculty. He is the author of one book and editor of two others and has written thousands of editorials, columns, features and other articles for newspapers and magazines. Pierce and his wife Regina, a recently retired teacher, live on Cane River Lake in Natchitoches. He has two sons, Randy and Rick, both NSU graduates; and three grandchildren, twins Evan and Amanda, 24, and Miranda, 13, and two adult stepchildren, Nicholas and Natalie.

Greg Burke

Director of Athletics The Burke File

AGE: 59 (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; director of athletics, Northwestern State, 1996-present. BIG FAN OF: Cleveland Browns, Indians and Cavaliers • INTERESTS: Working out, watching ESPN and VH1 Classic, family outings.

In his 20th 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 August 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 all of the school’s NCAA Division I sports. Those achievements have garnered several awards for Burke, including the “Outstanding Contributions to Amateur Football Award” by the north Louisiana chapter of the National Football Foundation and College Football Hall of Fame and the Under Amour AD of the Year Award presented by the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA). He is a past recipient of the All-America Football Foundation’s General Robert R. Neyland Outstanding Athletic Director Award and also was tabbed as one of two Natchitoches Parish Cenla Newsmakers of 2005 by the Alexandria Town Talk newspaper’s editorial staff. He also is a familiar face on the national level by virtue of serving on several NCAA and NACDA committees, including being president of the Football Championship Subdivision Athletics Directors Association and a member of the NACDA Executive Committee. He currently is a member of the NCAA Committee on Academics and has served on the NCAA Championships/Sports Management Cabinet. He previously served 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 19 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. The school’s athletic facilities have undergone more than $9 million in improvements in recent years, including a $2 million replacement project for all scoreboards funded completely through private sponsorships the past four years. The newly established Demons Unlimited Foundation has set annual giving records each of the past two years while embarking on an ambitious initiative to grow the athletic endowment to $5 million under the recently initiated “Perpetually Purple” program. 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. Burke has displayed a remarkable ability to hire dynamic head coaches. Women’s basketball co-head coaches Brooke and Scott Stoehr have guided NSU to the NCAA Tournament twice in their three-year tenure, co-head coaches Hugh and Stephanie Hernesman led the volleyball program to its first Southland tournament title and NCAA berth, first-year women’s tennis coach Olga Bazhanova led the Lady Demons to the 2015 conference regular-season title and a berth in the tournament championship game while baseball coach Lane Burroughs in his third year has revived that program with a 2015 second-place finish in the league standings. Anchors of the NSU department include current head coaches Mike McConathy, Louisiana’s all-time career basketball wins leader, and 2015 Southland Conference softball coach of the year Donald Pickett, whose team won the conference regular season title for the first time in 15 years and played in its third straight conference tournament championship game. Several other Burke hires had great success at Northwestern State that propelled them to national prominence in subsequent positions. 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. NSU received the Southland Conference’s inaugural “Southland Strong” Community Service Awards and an NSU student-athlete has been a recipient of the Southland Male or Female Citizenship seven times since the award’s inception eight years ago, including having both winners the past two years. 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!” 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, was 2010 March of Dimes chairman locally, and currently is on the Natchitoches Convention and Visitors Bureau Board of Directors. An Ohio native, he received the 2006 “Outstanding Alumni Award” from his alma mater, Marlington High School, recognizing his community service and professional achievements. His wife, Susu, is a Natchitoches native, NSU graduate and an elementary teacher. Their 21-year-old daughter, Catherine, graduated from St. Mary’s High School in May of 2012 and plans to pursue a career in collegiate athletics when she graduates from Louisiana Tech in May 2016.
