He’s been late once in 12 years – and that was on a weekend the team was returning from Hawaii.

The Demons also made NCAA Tournament trips in 2001 and 2013. NSU is 2-3 in NCAA play, including a 2001 win against Winthrop (coached by Gregg Marshall) in the inaugural Opening Round game in Dayton, Ohio. He crossed the 300-win mark on the NSU sidelines in his 21st season, leading a team with six of its top seven scorers being newcomers to a fourth-place finish in the Southland Conference and a first-round tournament win before the postseason was canceled because of the COVID-19 virus. McConathy, a former Southland Player of the Year himself at then-SLC member Louisiana Tech, has excelled in the conference tournament. He’s advanced to seven SLC Tournament championship games, winning three (2001, 2006 and 2013). 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 19-9 in Southland Tournament play in 13 trips under McConathy. His teams have scored road wins over Oklahoma State, Mississippi State, Auburn and Oregon State. 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-and-true method that has NSU playing its best basketball down the stretch. 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 five years. The Demons received “public recognition” from the NCAA in 2014 and in 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 2011 and have consistently ranked among state, Southland Conference and even national leaders in that and the NCAA’s Graduation Success Rate under McConathy’s guidance. In what has become a recurring event, in July, the National Association of Basketball Coaches has issued its Team Academic Excellence Award to NSU for posting a team GPA over 3.0. His program is #Southland Strong: The Demons are 206-187 (.524) against Southland foes under McConathy. The Demons benefit from a big homecourt advantage at venerable Prather Coliseum, which has more on-the-floor seating than any other Southland venue. The Demons usually average over 2,000 fans per game in league play, which has helped NSU win 66 percent of its home games (186-95) under McConathy. Known for years as “Coach Mike” to his players, McConathy is among a select group of major college mentors. Eight Division I basketball coaches have been at their current school for 20 years. His peers in this distinction include Mike Krzyzewski (Duke), Tom Izzo (Michigan State), and Jim Boeheim (Syracuse). Mike McConathy enters his 38th season coaching in Louisiana colleges, 22nd at NSU.

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. 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. Now, beginning his 22nd 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 2006-07. 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 2005-06 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 third-seeded 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.

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 199899 club was 26-5 and ranked eighth nationally, a year after the team post-

ed a 27-3 record and finished with a No. 3 national ranking.

Coach Mike with his wife, Connie.

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 were 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.

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. 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 was 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.

What They Say “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 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, UTEP 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. 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

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

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.

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.

#KEEPTHEFAITH Jeff Moore Associate Head Coach 15th season at NSU Missouri Valley, 1995 Starting his 15th 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 three former college head coaches on the bench in Moore, Dave Simmons and Morris Scott, 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. He has been the point man as recruiting coordinator as NSU 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. Most recently, center Ishmael Lane signed a professional deal with a Japanese team. Three of Moore’s signees -- Woodley, Koby Achane at Missouri Valley College, and Ronnie Ross at John Wood Community College -- became their program’s career scoring leaders. West owns the Demons’ career assists record. 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 sit in second place for the school’s all-time history for wins in a season. NSU won 59 games across three seasons from 2012-15, while leading the nation in scoring in 2014-15 and ranking second nationally the previous two seasons. 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 Simmons, who was hired as head coach at McNeese in 2006. Moore’s motto: “preparation comes face-to-face with opportunity.” He fits into a legacy of assistant coaches that McConathy has nurtured, three who are current Division I head coaches -- Buzz Williams at Virginia Tech after a great run at Marquette, Paul Weir at New Mexico after a great debut at New Mexico State, along with beloved Southland rival Mark Slessinger at New Orleans. Multiple others have gone on to head coaching positions after their NSU tenures. 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. The Demons returned to significant March basketball in 2019-20 as Moore helped a staff nurture eight newcomers, blending with a core of veterans to finish tied for fourth in the Southland Conference. It's the fifth time since 2010 that NSU has finished in the top four of the 13-member league. NSU won its first-round SLC Tournament game before the postseason was canceled because of the COVID-19 virus.

#KEEPTHEFAITH EX-NSU POINT GUARD MIKE BREY BEGINS 20TH 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 ninth 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 seventh-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. Beginning his 20th season coaching the Irish, Brey has led Notre Dame to 12 NCAA Tournaments, including back-to-back Elite Eight appearances in 2015 and 2016 -- along with six 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. Incuding his time at Delaware, Brey has delivered his team to postseason play 18 times. Brey owns an overall 516-273 career record, 417-221 at Notre Dame.

#KEEPTHEFAITH 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.

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.

Northwestern State has a long, proud coaching tradition

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. 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 impacted the coaching profession.

PRATHER COLISEUM

Perhaps the toughest arena to play in the Southland Conference, Prather Coliseum is now in its seventh 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, sports information, compliance, athletic facilities and vice president of external affairs 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.

#KEEPTHEFAITH 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. Chris Maggio

Northwestern State President Chris Maggio is a competitor for all seasons. Northwestern State’s fourth-year president was an all-sports athlete in high school, a college distance runner at NSU, and a high school football, basketball and track coach. He became a college coach in track and field for the Demons and Lady Demons. He even spent a few years as a high school basketball referee. His zeal for competition makes him a dynamic recruiter and fund raiser for NSU, and his ability to mentor staff members and students combines with his warmth and sincerity to produce a tremendously effective university administrator. Those traits, along with U N I V E R S I T Y A D M I N I S T R AT I O N Dr. Maggio’s deep roots and President: far-reaching relationships, . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Dr. Darlene Williams achievement in two years as president. Henderson moved up to run the University of Louisiana System, which includes Northwestern and eight other state universities. Maggio, 56, is a lifelong resident of Natchitoches and long-time faculty and staff member at Northwestern State. He is the university’s 19th president since its founding in 1884, and the first one who is homegrown, along with the first to be a four-year athletic letterwinner as a Demon competitor. Maggio was named vice president for the student experience at Northwestern State in 2016 after serving as interim vice president for just over a year. He maintained his role as vice president for the student experience while serving as acting president. When the NSU Student Services building opened three years ago, designers had a lovely office location for Maggio on the second floor. He asked instead for the room just inside the front door to the building, not connected to any administrative wing, but envisioned as a conference space. His reasoning: Maggio wanted to see everybody who walked in the door, and providing the ability to immediately engage them or at least be easily accessible for anyone who needed help. As vice president, Maggio led the Dean of Students and the Offices of Admissions, Recruiting, Financial Aid, Student Activities and Organizations, First Year Experience and Leadership Development, Judicial Services, Counseling and Career Services, Student Life, the Student Activities Board, Student Government Association, Student Support Services, and Greek Life. Northwestern State has recorded enrollment increases for the past four years, with record numbers in 2017-18, peaked by 11,081 in the fall 2018 semester. Maggio served as assistant vice president of external affairs for university advancement from 2013 until 2015, when he was promoted by Dr. Henderson. He has been a staff member at Northwestern State since 1988, when he joined the track and field coaching staff. After several years as director of admissions and recruiting during record-setting enrollment for NSU, Maggio was selected as director of alumni affairs in 1999, director of alumni and development in 2003, executive director of the NSU Foundation in 2005

and Dean of Students and assistant provost for student success in 2007. During his career at NSU, Maggio also served as director of enrollment services. Under Maggio’s leadership, the NSU Foundation completed its first capital campaign in Northwestern’s history, exceeding a campaign goal of $18.84 million and raising $31 million to support the university. He has also been a faculty member in the Department of Health and Human Performance for more than 20 years as an instructor, assistant professor and associate professor. Maggio came on board the NSU staff in 1988 as assistant track and field coach, then became head women’s coach a year later. After a very successful five years in that capacity, in 1994 Maggio moved into administration as the fundraiser for NSU Athletics before quickly being snapped up to become the university’s director of admissions and recruiting. Maggio is a 1985 summa cum laude graduate of Northwestern State. He won Gulf Star Conference All-Academic honors in track and field and helped the Demons win the 1985 GSC championship. As a senior, he was elected Mr. NSU by his fellow students. Maggio earned his master’s of education at NSU. He received a doctorate in developmental education from Grambling State University. His parents helped run a family business in Natchitoches. His father, Buddy, was honored as a “Natchitoches Treasure” in 2015 by the City of Natchitoches. As a young boy, Maggio became playmates with future Basketball Hall of Fame member Joe Dumars, whose home was near one of the Maggio’s stores. Dr. Maggio’s wife, Jennifer, was formerly on the NSU staff as Coordinator of Adult Education Initiatives. They have three children, Melanie, Scott, and Emily.

Jerry Pierce

Vice President • External Affairs Only a couple of people have served Northwestern State as long as alumnus Jerry Pierce has, and nobody has done so in a more understated manner. In his 55th 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 29th 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. During NSU’s 2018 Homecoming celebration, Pierce was honored at the N-Club Hall of Fame ceremony, becoming only the second person to receive the “Leadership Award” from the organization of former Northwestern athletic letterwinners. Pierce, an avid tennis player, has been a member of USTA teams that have won more than a dozen state championships, five regional titles and NSU Athletic Council one national championship. Jody Biscoe (Chair) Well before moving into the executive position, Pierce had already Dr. Landon Amberg Katrice Below served his alma mater, adopted hometown and state with distinction. In Maggie Black (Student-Athlete) his role as vice president, he oversees university operations in athletics, Steven Boyd alumni and development, public and media relations and assists President Scott Burrell Dr. Chris Maggio in governmental affairs activities.

Greg Burke

Director of Athletics The Burke File

AGE: 64 (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 a quarter century at the helm of the Northwestern State Athletic Department, Greg Burke is highly regarded far past the 318-area code due to the work he’s done in his adopted hometown. Burke, a native Ohioan and avid fan of all Cleveland pro sports teams, has been the Demons’ athletics director since 1996. Burke is the longest serving AD at any Louisiana or Southland Conference institution, and is believed to be the longest-serving AD in state history. He has steered NSU athletics to many of its greatest accomplishments while overseeing a program that has fielded championship-caliber teams in most of the school’s 14 NCAA Division I sports. Highlights in Burke’s two-plus decades as athletic director include 42 Southland Conference regular-season or tournament championships, 75 All-America and Academic All-America student athletes, and three U.S. Olympic competitors. Twenty-six NSU teams have participated in NCAA or other postseason competition. The athletic program’s $10 million “Victorious” facility campaign has resulted in $1.7 million of construction and updates to the baseball, softball, football, soccer, and track complexes in the past year. Updates are also visible in the Athletic Fieldhouse and at Prather Coliseum, including a new interactive N-Club Hall of Fame display. The “crown jewel” of the campaign will be a $3.5 million strength and conditioning center that will also include significant updates to the department’s sports medicine areas. These completed projects come on the heels of the addition of a $1 million video board and $600,000 chairback seating upgrade at Turpin Stadium made possible through private gifts and sponsorships in the past three years. Fundraising initiatives reached new levels in 2018-19 through increased giving to the Demons Unlimited Foundation that exceeded $2.5 million in restricted and unrestricted gifts, as well as to the “Perpetually Purple” endowment program. The athletic department also recently signed an exclusive multi-media rights agreement with Peak Sports Management. Competitively, one of the biggest achievements under Burke: 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. From his first day on the job, Burke has stressed the importance of having a balanced athletic program. Tremendous competitive strides have been made in women’s athletics under his guidance. Since 2013, Lady Demon basketball (2014, 2015), softball (2013, 2014), tennis (2013, 2015), volleyball (2015) and baseball (2018) have reached NCAA Tournaments. Most recently, Jasmyn Steels had arguably the best year in Southland Conference history for a female track and female athlete by winning the long jump title at the NCAA Division I Indoor Championships and finishing second at the NCAA outdoor meet. 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 a remarkable ability to hire dynamic head coaches. Anchors of the department are current head coaches Mike McConathy, Louisiana’s all-time career basketball wins leader; softball coach Donald Pickett, and track and field coach Mike Heimerman, a trio with over 50 combined years on staff at NSU. Three former student-athletes in Burke’s tenure have become NSU head coaches, including fourth-year baseball coach Bobby Barbier, who guided the Demons to the 2018 NCAA Regionals after winning the first conference tourney title in school history. Numerous Burke coaching and staff hires have had great success at Northwestern State that propelled them to national prominence in subsequent positions. Over 100 former NSU student-athletes, coaches and support staff members, most of them here with Burke as AD or assistant AD (1986-92), are working in college athletics at some level. Former Demons are head coaches in 12 Division I conferences - SEC, Big XII, ACC, MWC, Conference USA, Sun Belt, Ohio Valley, Big Sky, Patriot, Southern, SWAC, and Southland – as well as several others at the Division II and NAIA levels. Former Burke lieutenants Todd Garzarelli (Indiana University Pennsylvania), Jason Horn (Xavier-NO) and Adam Jonson (LSU Alexandria) are now athletics directors. OthersBurke proteges include Tommy McClelland (athletic director at Louisiana Tech), Roman Banks (athletic director at Southern University), Kurt Gulbrand (senior associate AD for development at Tennessee), Jodie Libadisos (associate AD for student-athlete enhancement at South Florida), and Dennis Kalina (deputy athletic director at Binghamton). 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 and engagement outreach by NSU student-athletes, coaches and staff totaled nearly 7,000 more for the 2018-19 year. NSU was the inaugural winner and has twice been runner-up for The Southland Conference’s “Southland Strong” Community Service since its inception five years ago. NSU has also had the most Southland Conference “Steve McCarty Citizenship Award” honorees since that award’s inception in 2008. 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 February 2013, 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. In 2010, 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. 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’s NCAA committee service has included terms on the NCAA Committee on Academics and Championships/Sports Management Cabinet. He previously served a term on the NCAA Division I Football Issues Committee (1999-2002) and concurrently served on the eight-member NCAA FCS Committee that administers the national playoffs. He begins a five-year term on the NCAA Women’s Basketball Committee in 2020. Burke is a member of the Natchitoches Convention and Visitors Bureau board, and on the board of directors for the Central Louisiana Community Foundation. He is 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 member of the Natchitoches Area Jaycees. He has been 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 daughter Catherine graduated from St. Mary’s Catholic School in May of 2012 and completed her graduate studies at UL Lafayette in December 2019 after earning her undergraduate degree from Louisiana Tech. She began a career in public relations and marketing in May 2018. She and Joseph Faucheaux of Natchitoches were married in July 2020.

Matt VINES

Assistant Sports Information Director 6TH YEAR AT NSU Former sports journalist Matt Vines stepped into the assistant sports information director role in May 2019 after serving three years as the assistant director of communication at Northwestern State. Vines will cover and promote men’s basketball and softball, assist on football and soccer and oversee graduate assistants on a variety of other sports. Vines, a former sports writer at The Jackson (Tennessee) Sun, The (Monroe) News-Star and The (Shreveport) Times, began his sports information career as a graduate assistant in 2015 before joining the university as its assistant director of communications. Since becoming an SID, he’s won a first-place feature writing award from the Louisiana Sports Writers Association. In his print journalism career, Vines won two first-place feature awards and one third-place feature awards from the Tennessee Associated Press Managing Editors. He also won various other quarterly awards from his employer Gannett. He covered high school, college and a handful of professional sporting events in his 10 years in newspapers.

Football Press Box named after Doug Ireland Longtime Northwestern State scribe Doug Ireland spent countless fall nights on the Turpin Stadium press level, feverishly recounting the latest Demon football contests. Now, that press area high above the Turpin turf will bear his name. Starting in the 2019 football season, media will compose their own NSU football articles on the Doug Ireland Media Level of Turpin Stadium after the Louisiana Board of Supervisors approved the measure in their June meeting. “Doug is truly deserving of this special recognition,” said Jerry Pierce, vice president for external affairs. “He has promoted Northwestern’s sports programs effectively for three decades through extensive media initiatives, and it is appropriate for the name of the media area of the stadium press box to reflect his immeasurable contributions to the university.” NSU director of athletics Greg Burke, who has been a part of the Demon athletics department for most of Ireland’s 30 years as sports information director, said honoring Ireland in a visible way is an easy decision. “It is appropriate and fitting for Doug to be honored in this enduring manner as an illustration of the lasting mark he leaves on the NSU athletic program after so many years of service and dedication,” Burke said. A 1986 broadcast journalism graduate from Northwestern State, Ireland returned to his alma mater in January 1989 and began a three-decade career promoting NSU’s 14 intercollegiate teams. Armed with nearly a decade’s worth of experience in newspapers and as an assistant sports information director at UL Lafayette, Ireland quickly put his stamp on NSU athletics. His 1992 football media guide earned “Best in the Nation” honors in the Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) ranks from the Collegiate Sports Information Directors of America. The award-winning sports information director took home 33 Louisiana Sports Writers Associations honors just since 2000, including the 2017 LSWA Story of the Year.
