MEDIA INFORMATION
Visiting teams will determine their own post-game procedure for available players. If those interviews are in person, most opponents choose to conduct those interviews outside their locker room. The location is through Portal 1 of the Coliseum playing floor and through the double-doors to the left at the end of the hallway.
Christened in 1963 as the Georgia Coliseum, the venue was officially renamed and dedicated to the memory of Herman James Stegeman on Saturday, March 2, 1996. Stegeman made many contributions to Georgia’s athletic program during his 20-year tenure (1919-39). He was a pioneer in the development of college basketball in the south, originating the region’s first big basketball tournament when he organized the Southern Conference Tournament in Atlanta from 1921-32. Stegeman Hall on the UGA campus was named for Coach Stegeman in 1946 and for years it was home of the University’s athletic and physical education departments. The athletic department moved its offices to the new coliseum in 1964, and Stegeman Hall was demolished in 1995 following completion of the Ramsey Student Center for Physical Activities.
The Coliseum is actually two separate structures, the roof and the building beneath it. The only connection is an aluminum bellows which seals the joints and permits the rise and fall of the roof with temperature change.
In addition, Stegeman Coliseum was utilized for rhythmic gymnastics and preliminary volleyball competition during the Centennial Olympic Games in 1996.
Stegeman has recently undergone thorough a series of major renovations, receiving a 21st Century face lift. In 2017, fans walked in to the final product following more than $20-million in renovations over several years.
In 2010, Stegeman’s concourses received a remarkable makeover, upgrading the graphics, enhancing spectator access to concessions and restrooms and adding 5,000-square feet of concourse space on each side of the arena. Those efforts won awards from both the American Institute of Architects and the Illuminating Engineering Society of North America.
During the summer of 2017, the arena received a massive center-hung scoreboard, new black seats, an improved LED lighting system, a state-of-the-art sound system and graphics above the horseshoe end celebrating past teams and retired jerseys. That followed work in 2016 which provided a dramatic mural covering the Coliseum’s distinctive end wall.

RADIO NETWORK
THE GEORGIA BULLDOG RADIO NETWORK
The best and broadest exposure possible for UGA basketball comes from the Georgia Bulldog Radio Network, a joint venture between Learfield College and JMI Sports. Not only with its vast number of affiliates but also from its powerful flagship station AM 750 in Atlanta, the network gives coverage to Bulldog hoops unmatched by any program nationwide.
Learfield provides radio network production for more than 50 major college athletic programs within the SEC and other prominent conferences across the United States.
The network flagship is News/Talk 750 WSB – Atlanta’s 50,000-watt, clear-channel station – which provides coverage with a signal that reaches more than 35 states and Canada. Scott Howard and Chuck Dowdle will again handle the play-by-play and color analyst duties, respectively. Coach Mike White can also be heard on weeknights during the season on the Bulldog Hotline, heard over most of the network stations.
SCOTT HOWARD
The voice of Scott Howard has become synonymous with Georgia sports and in particular, with Bulldog football and basketball. Howard returns for his 30th season behind the microphone at Georgia basketball games. First a color analyst with legendary voice Larry Munson, Howard will be working his 26th season as the Bulldogs’ primary play-by-play announcer.
Howard was the sports director at Athens radio stations WNGC-WGAU for 14 years before joining IMG Sports in 2009.
A 1984 Georgia graduate, Howard began his association with Bulldog football as a color analyst alongside Munson in 1994. In 2007, he broadcasted play-by-play action in all of Georgia’s road football games, and the next season he became the program’s primary radio voice by the third game. Howard was also play-by-play announcer for Georgia baseball from 1990-96.
CHUCK DOWDLE
Native Atlantan Chuck Dowdle, one of the most prominent figures in the Atlanta sports scene, will return to the Georgia Bulldog Radio Network for the his 13th season as color analyst for basketball broadcasts. Dowdle retired from WSB-TV in 2009 after 24 years as weeknight sports anchor with the top-rated station. Dowdle also worked for WPLG in Miami from 1973-85. During
that time, he hosted the Don Shula TV Show and also announced football for the Miami Dolphins and the Miami Hurricanes, as well as the NASL’s Ft. Lauderdale Strikers.
During his time at WSB, Dowdle was involved with almost every aspect of Atlanta sports, from announcing Falcons’ preseason games to hosting UGA football and basketball coaches’ shows. He was also the host of “High-Q”, a game show pitting some of the Atlanta region’s brightest high-school students against one another in academic competition.
Dowdle attended UGA in his freshman year, where he played for the basketball team. He then transferred to Georgia State, where he was a pitcher for the baseball team in his junior and senior years, before graduating in 1972.
ADAM GILLESPIE
After serving as the back-up producer/ engineer for the Georgia Radio Network for one season, Adam Gillespie took over in a full-time role beginning with the 2020-21 campaign.
An Athens native who attended high school in Augusta, Gillespie joined the production staff at 680 The Fan in Atlanta in 2005. His role expanded to include producing the postgame show on the Atlanta Braves Network when the stationed the team’s broadcast rights in 2010. That same year, 680 became the official sports-talk partner of Georgia Athletics and Gillespie began producing Bulldog Roundtable, the station’s 30-minute show devoted exclusively to UGA Athletics which airs on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
Scott Howard (right) and Chuck Dowdle will work their 13th season together in 2024-25.

WHITE MIKE
It was a different type of Selection Sunday for Georgia Basketball in 2022. While the college basketball universe was focused on the release of the NCAA Tournament bracket for “March Madness,” Georgia made significant waves in the news cycle just as the selection show was ending by announcing Mike White as the Bulldogs’ new head coach at 7:54 p.m. ET.
“I am beyond excited for the opportunity to lead the men’s basketball program at the University of Georgia,” White stated. “I believe in the limitless future of Georgia Basketball.”
White, who averaged more than 22 wins per season in 11 campaigns as head coach at Florida and Louisiana Tech, was named the 23rd head men's basketball coach of the Georgia Bulldogs on March 13, 2022. White owns the unique distinction of being named Coach of the Year in three different conferences, securing 2017 SEC, 2015 Conference USA and 2014 WAC honors.
During his first two seasons in Athens, White's teams have displayed consistent and impressive improvement. From the traditional sports information standpoint, you might read something like:
In White's first season, the Bulldogs upped their regular-season win total by double digits from the 2021-22 campaign, producing the second-largest increase among all Power conference programs. Last year, Georgia earned its first postseason bid since 2017 and while advancing to the NIT semifinals reached the 20-win plateau for the first time since 2016.
However, the Bulldogs’ growth from a quantifiably measurable standpoint is even more dramatic.
From the 2021-22 season before White arrived to his second campaign at Georgia, the Bulldogs have ascended an average of 136 spots among six of the most popular basketball metrics as outlined to the right.
THE METRIC IMPROVEMENT
The immediate future looks even brighter. In 2023, Georgia’s freshman and transfer recruiting classes were ranked among the top 20 nationally. A year later, both groups were featured among the nation's top 10. Combined, White and his staff have signed six top-100 prep prospects in the last two classes.
White’s entire basketball career has been a model of consistent winning and postseason play.
In seven seasons at Florida before his arrival in Athens, he compiled a 142-88 record while leading the Gators to six postseason bids including four NCAA appearances. In four campaigns at Louisiana Tech between 2011-15, White’s Bulldogs compiled a 101-40 record, won a trio of conference regularseason titles and advanced to three NITs.
As a head coach, nine of his 13 teams reached the 20-win mark, while four notched 27 or more victories. White’s squads advanced to postseason play during 10 of 12 possible seasons. During another, when the 2020 NCAA Tournament was canceled due to COVID-19, the Gators were a consensus pick for a single-digit NCAA seed.
White’s teams have made solid usage of the opportunities afforded them. Georgia's trek to the 2024 NIT semifinals included impressive road victories at Wake Forest and Ohio State in a three-day span. Florida was one of only six programs nationally to win a game during each of the four NCAA Tournaments contested between 2017-21, headlined by a trip to the 2017 “Elite Eight.” At Louisiana Tech, the Bulldogs won three conference titles – 2013 WAC and 2014 and 2015 Conference USA –and advanced to the NIT quarterfinals in both 2014 and 2015.
White helped five more teams reach 20 wins during his 11 campaigns as an assistant and associate head coach at Ole Miss and Jacksonville State, with the Rebels capturing a pair of SEC West titles. Ole Miss appeared in four NITs during his seven seasons, reaching the semifinals in both 2008 and 2010.
As a player, White was a four-year starter at Ole Miss, including SEC West title teams in 1997 and 1998. He helped the Rebels string together three-consecutive 20-wins seasons from 1997-99, with each culminating with an NCAA Tournament bid – both firsts in program history. White fondly lists his proudest achievement as a player as dribbling out the clock of the Rebels’ 72-70 victory over Villanova in 1999 to give Ole Miss its first-ever “March Madness” victory.
Totaling up the aforementioned, White has been a part of 17 20-win teams during his 28 seasons as a college basketball player and coach, capturing seven regular-season conference regular-season titles and earning 18 postseason bids.
HIGHLY SUCCESSFUL IN GAINESVILLE
Florida earned postseason bids in every season under White, reaching the 2016 NIT quarterfinals, becoming the only SEC program to qualify for four consecutive NCAAs from 2017-21 and advancing to the second round of the 2022 NIT.
From an accolades standpoint, White was voted as 2017 SEC Coach of the Year by both league coaches and the Associated Press after Florida finished second in the league and reached the NCAA “Elite Eight.” He also was honored as the District Coach of the Year by the NABC and USWBA that season. In addition, Canyon Berry was tabbed 2017 SEC Sixth Man of the Year, seven different Gators were named All-SEC a combined eight times, three players were named to the SEC All-Freshman team and two were selected for the SEC All-Defensive unit during White’s tenure.
Florida recorded 21 wins during White’s first campaign in Gainesville, matching the program record for a first-year head coach.
White led Florida to the “Elite Eight” and 27 victories during his second season, just the eighth time in program history the Gators won as many games. In addition, White’s two-season tally of 48 wins ranked as the fourth-most in SEC history. Simultaneously, White and his staff also put together a 2017 recruiting class ranked ninth nationally by ESPN that included three top-10 prospects.
In 2017-18, Florida tied for the most wins over top-25 teams nationally, knocking off six ranked foes. The Gators followed that with a late-season surge in 2018-19. After starting 12-11, Florida finished 20-16 and pulled two more ranked upsets in SEC and NCAA Tournament play.
White collected his 100th win at Florida during 2019-20. His pace of 158 games to reach that milestone was second-fastest in program history only to Billy Donovan’s 154 contests.
The Gators continued their streak of reaching – and winning – during “March Madness” in 2021, which was even more impressive considering Keyontae Johnson, the Preseason SEC Player of the Year, suffered a medical emergency in the fourth game of the season and did not return to action.
A RECORD-SETTING PACE AT LOUISIANA TECH
At Louisiana Tech, White produced the best winning percentage (.716) of any coach in the program’s history as he led the Bulldogs to the Western Athletic Conference regular-season crown in 2013 before winning back-to-back Conference USA titles in 2014 and 2015. The Bulldogs reached the NIT in each of those campaigns and advanced to the quarterfinals in 2014 and 2015. In NIT play, Louisiana Tech recorded a trio of impressive road victories, toppling Florida State in 2013, Georgia in 2014 and Texas A&M in 2015.
White was named WAC Coach of the Year in 2013 and Conference USA Coach of the Year in 2015. He coached the 2015 C-USA Player of the Year, two WAC Newcomers of the Year, the 2014 C-USA Sixth Man of the Year and the 2014 C-USA Defensive Player of the Year. In addition, four Bulldogs combined to earn nine All-Conference certificates during that span.
White’s most impressive coaching effort in Ruston may have been with his first team. Louisiana Tech started 8-10 before going 10-6 the rest of the way and advancing to the championship game of the WAC Tournament. The Bulldogs then went 83-24 over the next three seasons under White.
FROM PRO PLAYER TO STUDENT TO ASSISTANT COACH
White was a four-year starter at Ole Miss and helped the Rebels to a pair of SEC West titles, three NCAA Tournament appearances and the school's first-ever “March Madness” victory. He also earned a spot on two SEC Academic Honor Rolls and was named to the 1999 SEC Good Works Team.
After being invited to the Utah Jazz’s summer training camp, White spent the 1999-2000 season playing professionally for the IBL’s New Mexico Slam and in England before returning to Ole Miss in the spring of 2000 to complete his B.A. in business. The day after his last Final Exam, White made the four-hour drive from Oxford to Jacksonville, Ala., to begin his coaching career at Jacksonville State the next day – literally.
White spent four years at Jacksonville State and helped the Gamecocks secure their first-ever 20-win season in 2003. He then returned to his alma mater and spent seven successful seasons while developing a reputation as one of the nation’s top assistant coaches. White helped the Rebels to four NIT berths, including two runs to the NIT Final Four, and SEC West titles in 2007 and 2010.
BORN AND MARRIED INTO ATHLETIC FAMILIES
Though he was born in Dunedin, Fla., White lived all around the U.S. as his father’s career in athletic administration progressed. His dad, Kevin, was the Athletic Director at Duke from 2008 until he retired at the end of August 2021 Previously, Kevin was AD at Loras College (1982-87), Maine (1987-91), Tulane (1991-96), Arizona State (1996-2000) and Notre Dame (2000-08).
Both of Mike’s brothers and one of his sisters have also excelled in college athletics administration. Danny became the AD at Tennessee in 2021 after serving in the same role at Buffalo from 2012-15 and UCF from 2015-21. He played basketball at Towson and Notre Dame. Brian has been the AD at Florida Atlantic since 2018. He was Deputy AD for external relations at Missouri before moving to Boca Raton. Mariah (Chappell), who swam collegiately at Duke, was Assistant AD for Administration at SMU, where she worked from 2017-23.
White is married to the former Kira Zschau, who was an All-SEC volleyball player at Ole Miss and also has a law degree from Ole Miss. They have five children – two daughters, Rylee and Maggie; twin boys, Collin and Keegan; and another son, Dillon.

ASSOCIATE HEAD COACH • 3RD SEASON • RHODE ISLAND ’99
Atlanta native Antonio Reynolds Dean was named Associate Head Coach for the Georgia Bulldogs on April 12, 2022. From his time as a standout post player at one of Georgia’s premier high school programs to the anchor of the winningest class in his college alma mater’s history to stops throughout his coaching career, Reynolds Dean’s career has consistently featured winning teams and postseason play. That trend has continued in Athens as last season Georgia earn its first postseason bid since 2017. While advancing to the NIT semifinals, the Bulldogs notched their first 20-win campaign since 2016.
Dean spent five seasons at Clemson from 2017-22, helping the Tigers to a pair of NCAA Tournament bids and an NIT appearance. He also helped coach Rhode Island to an NCAA Tournament bid in 2017 and Northeastern to a pair of NIT invites in 2010 and 2013.
In his first season at Clemson, the Tigers equaled the school record for victories, posting a 25-10 mark and advancing to the “Sweet 16” round of the 2018 NCAA Tournament for the first time in more than two decades. Clemson reached the NIT’s round of 16 and finished 20-14 in 2019, just the sixth time in school history the Tigers recorded back-to-back 20-win campaigns. Clemson earned another invitation to “March Madness” in 2021 when the Tigers tied for fifth in the ACC standings.
Individually, the Tigers’ post players thrived under Reynolds Dean. In 2020, Aamir Simms averaged career highs and team bests of 13.0 points and 7.2 rebounds and also led the Tigers in assists and blocks. In 2021, he repeated leading Clemson in points (13.4 ppg), rebounds (6.4 rpg) and assists – the only player ever in ACC history to do so twice. Elijah Thomas was named to the ACC’s All-Defensive team in 2018 and 2019.
Reynolds Dean spent two years as an assistant coach at Rhode Island, where he also was one of the Rams’ greatest players ever. In his final season on the staff, the Rams finished 25-10 overall and won the Atlantic-10 Tournament title, their first since his Reynolds Dean’s senior year in 1999. The Rams then defeated Creighton in the NCAA Tournament before falling to Oregon, an eventual Final Four participant, 75-72 in the round of 32. While Reynolds Dean was at Rhode Island, he worked with Hassan Martin, the A-10 Defensive Player of the Year in both 2016 and 2017.
Prior to his stint at Rhode Island, Reynolds Dean was an assistant coach at the College of Charleston for the 2014-15 season and at Northeastern for five campaigns from 2009-14. Reynolds Dean helped lead Northeastern to the 2013 CAA regular-season title and bids to the 2010 and 2013 NITs. He spent 2008-09 at Fairfield as the Director of Basketball Operations.
As a player, Reynolds Dean was a two-time all-state performer at Atlanta’s Frederick Douglass High. He averaged a double-double during each of those seasons, scoring 24.6 points and 15.5 rebounds as a senior after contributing 23.0 points and 13.0 boards as a junior.
Reynolds Dean enjoyed a standout career at Rhode Island, where he was the 1996 Atlantic 10 Rookie of the Year and an All-Atlantic 10 selection in 1999. He helped lead the Rams to 85 wins over four seasons, including a then-school record 25 victories in 1998. Rhode Island earned three NCAA Tournament bids during his career, highlighted by a trip to the 1998 “Elite Eight.”
Reynolds Dean became just the third player in school history to record 1,000 points and rebounds. Among career leaders, he wrapped up his eligibility as the school record holder for games played (131) and also ranked No. 9 in points (1,576), No. 3 in rebounds (1,028) and No. 2 in blocks (235).
A 2015 inductee into the URI Athletic Hall of Fame, Reynolds Dean is the only person in Rhode Island men’s basketball history to play on and coach for an Atlantic 10 Championship team. Professionally, Reynolds Dean averaged 18.7 points and a league-leading 12.2 rebounds with the Dakota Wizards of the International Basketball League (IBL) in 1999-2000. After being named the IBL’s Rookie of the Year in 2000, he played eight seasons overseas in Spain and Argentina.
Reynolds Dean earned a bachelor’s degree in Education with an emphasis in Human Development and Family Studies from Rhode Island in 1999 and secured a master’s in Sports Leadership from Northeastern in 2012. Reynolds Dean is married for the former Donna Carr, who played volleyball for Georgia in the 1990s. He is the proud father of two daughters, Jasmine and Naomi.

PASTRANA ERIK
ASSISTANT COACH • 3RD SEASON • FLORIDA STATE ’07
Erik Pastrana (pronounced puh-strah-nuh) was named an assistant coach at Georgia on March 28, 2022. He spent the 2021-22 season on Mike White’s staff at Florida and also has successful Division I coaching stints at Oklahoma State, Florida Atlantic, Florida International and Stephen F. Austin.
Pastrana has played a pivotal role in Georgia's success over the past two seasons. He helped the Bulldogs up their regular-season win total by 10 victories from 2021-22 to 2022-23, the second largest increase of any Power conference program. Last year, Georgia earned its first postseason invitation since 2017 and then reached the 20-win plateau for the first time since 2016.
During his season at Florida, the Gators went 20-14 and reached the second round of the 2022 NIT. Pastrana spent the two seasons prior to that as an assistant coach and the recruiting coordinator at Oklahoma State. He helped the Cowboys sign the No. 4 recruiting class in 2020 that included Cade Cunningham, the 2021 Big 12 Player of the Year and a first-team All-American who went on to become the No. 1 overall pick in the 2021 NBA Draft.
In 2021, the Cowboys advanced to the finals of the Big 12 Tournament, earned a No. 4 seed in the NCAA Tournament and ended the year ranked No. 11 by the Associated Press – all firsts since 2005. Oklahoma State’s first-round win in the NCAA Tournament was its first since 2009.
Prior to his stint in Stillwater, Pastrana coached at three schools in Florida, his home state. In 2018-19, he was an assistant coach at Florida Atlantic working under Dusty May, one of three former Mike White assistants at Florida who are now Division I head coaches. Pastrana was head coach at Daytona State College for the 2017-18 season, where he led the Falcons to a 19-12 record and had four players named to the Mid-Florida All-Conference Team. A Miami native and Cuban American who is a member of the Latino Association of Basketball Coaches, Pastrana spent the 2016-17 campaign in his hometown as an assistant coach at FIU.
Pastrana also was an assistant coach for three seasons at Stephen F. Austin. During his tenure, the Lumberjacks won three consecutive Southland Conference Championships, produced three straight Southland Players of the Year and earned NCAA Tournament victories over VCU in 2014 and West Virginia in 2016. The 89 wins that staff accrued tied for the most by any coaching staff in its first three campaigns in NCAA history.
Pastrana began his career as a graduate assistant under Frank Martin at Kansas State from 2007-09. While at K-State, the Wildcats won 21 games each season, earned a pair of postseason bids, notched their first NCAA Tournament win in a decade in 2008 and saw freshman Michael Beasley selected with the No. 2 overall pick in the 2008 NBA Draft.
Following his experience with the Wildcats, Pastrana worked as an assistant coach at Labette Community College in Kansas and Northwest Florida State College. At NWFSC, Pastrana helped lead the Raiders to a 30-4 record and an appearance in the NJCAA National Championship game.
Pastrana earned a bachelor’s degree in history from Florida State in 2007 and a master's degree in counseling and student development from Kansas State in 2009. Pastrana is engaged to marry Brooke Di Orio in May 2025.
GOINS ANTHONY
Anthony Goins, who has a consistent history of winning basketball at every stop in his coaching career, was named assistant coach for the Georgia Bulldogs on May 24, 2024.
Prior to his arrival in Athens, Goins spent the past three seasons at Boston College. He also sports stints on the staffs at Clemson, Quinnipiac, Yale and Dartmouth over the last 11 years.
“I couldn’t be more excited to join Georgia Basketball,” Goins said. “Coach White and his staff have done an unbelievable job building the Georgia program the past two years. I could feel the energy and momentum the moment I got on campus. I’m extremely appreciative of Coach White for giving me the opportunity. Coach Grant, the staff and everyone around Boston College have been unbelievable the past three years, but I can’t wait to get to work in Athens!”
Boston College has increased its win total during each of Goins’ season with the Eagles, culminating with a 20-16 finish and a bid to the NIT in 2024. Boston College reached the round of 16 in the NIT and in the process secured the Eagles’ first 20-win campaign and first postseason victory since 2011.
Goins was an assistant coach at Clemson for two seasons from 2019-21, helping the Tigers secure a bid to the 2021 NCAA Tournament. While at Clemson, he oversaw the development of the Tigers' backcourt standouts Tevin Mack, Al-Amir Dawes and Nick Honor.
From 2017-19, Goins was on the staff at Quinnipiac. During the 2018-19 season, the Bobcats finished 16-15 to notch their first winning record in five years. Quinnipiac also received a bid to the CollegeInsider. com Tournament (CIT) in 2019, just QU’s fifth postseason appearance ever. Goins helped to develop three all-conference guards for the Bobcats, including first-team All-MAAC selection Cameron Young.
Goins enjoyed a trio of successful seasons at Yale from 2014-17. The Bulldogs finished 22-10 overall and 11-3 in his year in New Haven to secure the Bulldogs’ first Ivy League title since 2002. Yale improved to 23-7 overall and 13-1 in league play during the 2015-16 campaign, both school-record win totals. The Bulldogs won the Ivy League championship outright to garner the program’s first NCAA Tournament bid in 54 years. Yale, a No. 12 seed, then upset fifth-seeded Baylor in first round of “March Madness,” the first NCAA victory ever for the Bulldogs.
Goins’ collegiate career began at Dartmouth in 2013-14, where he helped the Big Green to their highest win total in 15 seasons.
Goins also spent three seasons as an assistant coach at Salisbury Prep School in Connecticut, which compiled a combined 64-18 record during his tenure.
Originally from Greensboro, N.C., Goins graduated from Oscar Smith High School in Chesapeake, Va. He received his bachelor’s degree in Sports Management from St. John’s in 2008. While an undergrad, Goins served as a practice player for the men’s team and helped with women’s practices as well.
Goins and his wife, Stephanie, have two children: a son, Anthony “Trey”; and a daughter, Reese.

BLAKE PATRICK
ASSISTANT COACH • 2ND SEASON • LOUISVILLE ’09
Patrick Blake joined the Georgia Bulldogs in the summer of 2023 as an assistant coach after enjoying success at every stop of his 13-year college coaching career.
Most recently, Blake served as an assistant coach at Eastern Kentucky from 2019-23 and at Coastal Carolina from 2015-19. During his tenure, both programs established their single-season records for points scored. Blake also enjoyed a stellar run at Chipola College, including leading the Indians to the “Elite Eight” of the 2014 NJCAA Tournament.
Blake helped Eastern Kentucky become one of the nation’s highest scoring teams in his final three seasons. The Colonels paced their conference in scoring offense in each of those years, finishing eighth nationally in 2020-21 (81.8 ppg) in EKU’s final season in the Ohio Valley Conference. EKU led the Atlantic Sun offensively in both 2021-22 (79.3 ppg) and 2022-23 (78.6 ppg).
Blake played an integral role in Eastern Kentucky signing its highest rated group of recruits in the internet age in 2022. That class of Colonels ranked No. 65 nationally by 247Sports, higher than eight Power conference programs. The group included the EKU’s first-ever ESPN four-star prospect and the program’s first Kentucky Mr. Basketball since 1980.
The scoring and recruiting translated into winning by the Colonels. Eastern Kentucky led all Division I men’s basketball teams in Kentucky with 23 victories in 2022-23 after notching 22 Ws in 2020-21.
During Blake’s four seasons in Richmond, the Colonels reached the conference tournament semifinals three times. The 2022-23 season was especially gratifying after the Colonels were picked to finish 10th in the ASUN. Eastern Kentucky went on to reach the championship game of the College Basketball Invitational (CBI), the first time in 78 years that EKU won three games in a national tourney.
Blake also spent four seasons at Coastal Carolina, helping the Chanticleers to a trio of postseason bids and an appearance in the CBI’s championship series in 2016. In his first season in Conway, Coastal finished 21-12, earned the program’s first national postseason victory and went on to reach the CollegeInsider.com Tournament (CIT) semifinals. The following year, the Chanticleers advanced to the CBI's championship series. Blake also helped Coastal Carolina back to the 2019 CBI, where the Chanticleers stunned West Virginia, 109-91, in Morgantown.
Blake’s first full-time coaching stint was at Chipola College in Marianna, Fla., where he served as an assistant coach for two seasons before being promoted to head coach. In three campaigns as head coach, Blake compiled a record of 62-30 and was named the 2014 Panhandle Conference and State Coach of the Year. The Indians were a combined 46-10 with Blake as an assistant coach. In 2012, Chipola went 26-6 and as the No. 3 seed in the NJCAA Tournament reached the quarterfinals before falling to the eventual national champs, Jones County (Miss.) College.
Blake was a graduate assistant at Ole Miss from 2008-10 while Mike White was an assistant coach on the staff. That stint included a 23-4 finish by the Rebels in 2010 when they shared the SEC West Division title and reached the semifinals of the NIT.
Blake graduated from Louisville in 2009 with a bachelor’s in Business Marketing. He was a student manager for the Cardinals for four seasons when they reached the NCAA Final Four in 2005, the NIT semifinals in 2006, the NCAA Round of 32 in 2007 and the NCAA Elite Eight in 2008.
A native of Evansville, Ind., Blake is married to the former Diana Truong. The couple has two sons, Reilly (3) and Brady (2).

“Charles knows what it takes to be a successful student-athlete at this level,” head coach Mike White said. “He is extremely proud to be a Georgia Bulldog and in many ways has lived the experience we want for all of our players. I’m confident he’ll make a major impact within our program.”
Mann played in 132 games between 2012-16, the most ever by a four-year player, and is one of only 12 Bulldogs ever to play on three 20-win teams.
“It’s a surreal feeling that still seems like a dream,” Mann said. “Coming home means more than anything. It’s not just the next job – it’s my dream job.”

Bulldog athletic teams have won three team national championships and a total of seven SEC crowns, while there have been 15 individual national champions.
The women’s soccer and volleyball teams have made the NCAA Tournament in backto-back years for the first-time ever.

Before returning to UGA in 2016 as Executive Associate Director of Athletics, Brooks served as Deputy AD at Louisiana-Monroe from 2015-16 and Director of Athletics at Millsaps College from 2014-15. He was Director of Football Operations (2008-11) and Assistant & Associate Athletic Director for Internal Operations (2012-14) in his previous stint at UGA. Brooks also was director of football operations at ULM from 2004-08 after gaining experience as a student at LSU working as an equipment manager and a student assistant coach.
Brooks graduated from LSU (’02) with a degree in Kinesiology and completed his master’s degree in Sport Management from UGA (‘14). He and his wife, Lillie, have twin sons, Jackson and James, born in July of 2009 and a third son, Davis, born in March of 2012. The Brooks have become a vital part of the Athens community. Just two weeks after becoming Athletic Director, Brooks pledged $100,000 to create a need-based scholarship to support UGA students from Athens-Clarke County. His gift created a Georgia Commitment Scholarship (GCS), adding to the more than 550 endowed, need-based scholarships created since the GCS program launched in January 2017.
MOREHEAD JERE
UNIVERSITY PRESIDENT GEORGIA J.D. ’80
President Jere W. Morehead began his tenure as the 22nd University of Georgia president on July 1, 2013. Under his leadership, UGA has risen in the rankings of the best public colleges and universities and has completed a series of initiatives to enhance student learning and success, including a requirement for experiential learning for all undergraduates. Additionally during President Morehead’s tenure, the university completed the most successful capital campaign in its history and established the UGA Innovation District, through which students and faculty partner with industry leaders to create products and enterprises that strengthen Georgia’s economy. UGA has increased its research expenditures by more than 50% over the past decade and is ranked first in the nation for the number of research-based products reaching the marketplace.
In keeping with his focus on student success, President Morehead launched the ALL Georgia program to support students from rural areas and created the Double Dawgs program, which enables students to save time and money by earning an undergraduate and graduate degree in five years or less. Demand for a UGA education has more than doubled during the past decade, and the university’s enrollment reached an all-time high last fall.
President Morehead has served the University of Georgia for more than 35 years in both faculty and administrative roles. Before becoming president, he was senior vice president for academic affairs and provost from 2010 to 2013. Prior to 2010, he held several key administrative assignments, including vice president for instruction, vice provost for academic affairs, associate provost and director of the Honors Program, and acting executive director of Legal Affairs.
He is the Meigs Professor of Legal Studies in the Terry College of Business, where he has held a faculty appointment since 1986. He is a co-author of several books and book chapters, including The Legal and Regulatory Environment of Business, and he has published scholarly articles on legal topics ranging from export controls to jury selection. He has served as editor-in-chief of the American Business Law Journal.
President Morehead currently serves as co-chair of the University Leadership Forum, a national initiative led by the Council on Competitiveness. Additional service includes membership on the boards of the Georgia Research Alliance, Georgia Chamber of Commerce, Atlanta Regional Council for Higher Education, Metro Atlanta Chamber of Commerce, and Emory University Candler School of Theology. He also is a member of the National Football Foundation board of trustees.
He is the immediate past chair of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division I board of directors. He previously served as president of the Southeastern Conference (SEC) and chair of the SEC executive committee and as a member of the NCAA’s board of governors; presidential forum; working group on name, image, and likeness; and federal and state legislation working group.
In 2021, he received the Chief Executive Leadership Award from the Council for the Advancement and Support of Education District III for outstanding leadership and service in support of education. He has received several university-wide teaching awards, including the Josiah Meigs Award—UGA’s highest honor for teaching excellence, the Russell Award for Excellence in Undergraduate Teaching, the Teacher of the Year Award in the Terry College of Business, and the Lothar Tresp Outstanding Honors Professor Award. He also earned the UGA School of Law’s premier honor for alumni, the Distinguished Service Scroll Award. Following a nearly $12 million capital campaign, the University System of Georgia Board of Regents named the Honors College at the University of Georgia in his honor.

NEWELL’S CAREER STATISTICS
BULLDOGS MAKE MORE STRIDES IN WHITE’S SECOND SEASON
DOGS
The Georgia Bulldogs continued their consistent and impressive improvement under head coach Mike White.
A year after upping their regular-season win total by 10 victories – the second-largest jump of any Power conference program during 2022-23 – the Bulldogs upped that mark and returned the postseason in 2024.
After securing its postseason bid since 2017, Georgia reached the 20-win plateau for the first time since 2016 while advancing to the semifinals of the NIT.
The Bulldogs improvement was readily apparent during their postseason success. Throughout play, Georgia challenged the league’s best teams on a regular basis. The Bulldogs owned double-digit leads in games against four of the SEC’s eight NCAA Tournament teams before falling to each. In the NIT, Georgia closed out similar contests against Xavier, Wake Forest and Ohio State, with the latter two of the aforementioned coming on the road.
“There are a couple we all wish we could have back, just like there are every season,” White said after the Ohio State win. “We just weren’t able to beat those teams on those nights. But we’re better now.
“We were picked near the bottom (of the SEC), but we have higher expectations and standards within our program,” White said. “If we finish a few of those close ones a little better, we could potentially be in that other tournament. But I love the character our guys are showing. They’re playing with gratitude, playing with appreciation for the opportunity and taking advantage. That’s huge.”
Those results weren’t the only confirmation of the Bulldogs’ progress in year two under White.
Entering the NIT, six of the most commonly utilized models had the Bulldogs up by an average of 53.9 spots. With additional improvement among the five that continued to update during postseason play –Torvik, KenPom, NET, BPI and SOR – that average finished the season up to 59.2 positions as outlined to the right
Demary, who was named to the league’s All-Freshman team in balloting of league coaches, led all SEC freshman in games started, both overall (34) and in SEC action (17). The lone game he was not on the floor for the opening tip was UGA’s “Senior Day.” Demary was one of only five freshmen in the SEC who averaged double figures in conference action at 10.5 ppg.
THE METRICS t
Cain was one of just 10 SEC freshmen who scored 6.5 ppg or more in league games. He did much of his damage from 3-point range, with 50 of his 103 field goals (48.5 percent) coming from behind the arc.
Career numbers of Anselem-Ibe, DeLoach, Hill, Melendez, Moncrieffe, Sunahara, Tchewa & Thomasson include games played prior to transferring to UGA
FRESHMEN MAKE THEIR MARK
Georgia’s freshmen made a impressive impact during the 2023-24 season, particularly in SEC play. Blue Cain, Silas Demary Jr. and Dylan James all got a starting nod in the Bulldogs’ last eight games – the first time a trio of freshmen started for Georgia since Anthony Edwards, Toumani Camara and Sahvir Wheeler did so in 2020.
Cain and Demary were two of only eight freshman who logged 20.0 mpg in SEC outings. James saw his playing time jump significantly late in the campaign, averaging 17.5 mpg in the last 15 games.
In addition to his increased playing time, James averaged 4.9 ppg and 3.2 rpg in Georgia’s last 15 contests, more than double the 2.1 ppg and 1.4 rpg he contributed in seven games played during the Bulldogs’ first 22 outings of the season.
DOGS’ BENCH PROVIDES PRODUCTION
Georgia ranked No. 21 nationally in benching scoring during 2023-24, contributing 28.5 ppg.
Georgia’s reserves outscored their counterparts in 30 of 37 games, including a span of 16 straight outings from the second game of the season against Wake Forest on Nov. 10 to a Jan. 20 trip to No. 8/10 Kentucky. Georgia sported an impressive cumulative scoring margin of +387 in bench points – an advantage of +10.5 ppg.
Silas Demary Jr. started more games – both overall and in league play – than any other freshman in the SEC.
2023-24 SEASON NOTEBOOK
EVERYONE GETS A NOD
All 12 scholarship Bulldogs who played during 2023-24 started at least one game, comprising 12 different starting fives.
Georgia mixed and matched seven players to form three sets of starters in the first 10 games. The Bulldogs then settled into the same starting unit for the next 10 contests.
Over the last 11 regular-season outings, Georgia used eight different sets of starters. The lineup shifted again at Wake Forest in the NIT, when Frank Anselem-Ibe started with Russel Tchewa out with an illness.
Noah Thomasson was the only Bulldog to start every game...although Silas Demary Jr. got the nod for every game but “Senior Day.”
GEORGIA’S MAGIC NUMBER IS ON THE “OTHER” END OF THE FLOOR
Dr. James Naismith’s 13th and final rule was “The side making the most goals in that time shall be declared the winner.”
For Georgia, the number of points the opposing team scores has been an extremely strong indicator of success. The Bulldogs are 28-2 when holding its opponents under 70 points during Mike White’s tenure.
LOTS OF NAIL-BITERS FOR THE DOGS
Georgia’s NIT victories over Xavier and Ohio State were not decided until the final horn, upping the number of “close games” for Georgia during 2023-24 to 18.
Of the Bulldogs’ 37 games...
• 18 were within one-possession in the last 5:00. Georgia was 10-8 in those.
• 16 were within one-possession in the last 90 seconds. Georgia was 8-8 in those.
• 13 were within one-possession in the last 30 seconds. Georgia was 8-5 in those.
BULLDOGS FIND ROAD SUCCESS
Georgia’s victory at Ohio State in the NIT quarterfinals represented the Bulldogs’ sixth road win of the season and upped the Bulldogs’ record to 6-6 in road contests.
Georgia was a combined 7-44 on the road over the five seasons prior to 2023-24. The six road Ws were the most the Bulldogs have recorded in a season since 2014-15.
WHITE STRONG IN POSTSEASON
With Georgia’s win over Xavier, Mike White improved to 9-0 in opening games of the NCAA Tournament and NIT. Following UGA’s run to the 2024 NIT semis, White is now 16-9 in postseason – 6-4 in the NCAAs and 10-5 in the NIT.
While at Florida, White was the only SEC coach to earn NCAA bids in every tourney contested between 2017-21...and the Gators were an NCAA lock in 2020 before the tournament was cancelled.
Florida also was one of only six Division I programs to win a game in each of those four NCAA tourneys from 2017-21 along with Kansas, Gonzaga, Michigan, Villanova and Florida State. Headlining those bids was the Gators’ trip of the 2017 “Elite Eight.”
White has NIT records of 5-3 at Louisiana Tech, 2-1 at Florida and 3-1 at Georgia, with road wins at Ohio State (2016 & 2024), Florida State (2013), Georgia (2014), Texas A&M (2015) and Wake Forest (2024).
White’s postseason success dates back to his career as a four-year starter at Ole Miss. He helped the Rebels to their first back-to-back NCAA bids in 1997 and 1998 and added a third straight in 1999. White lists dribbling out the clock against Villanova in Ole Miss’ first NCAA Tournament win ever as a senior as the most memorable moment of his playing career.
DON’T LOOK ETHEL...OF STREAKS
The Bulldogs’ 2023-24 season was certainly a streaky one. Georgia put together a 10-game winning string from Nov. 24Jan. 10, tying the fourth-longest in program history and the longest in 75 years as outlined to the left.
Within their 12-3 start to the campaign, the Bulldogs were a perfect 10-0 at Stegeman, equaling their seventh-longest home winning streak ever and the fifth-longest since moving into the arena in 1964.

Georgia’s only other road win over an AP top-25 team came on Dec. 29, 1977, when the Bulldogs upset No. 7 Louisville, 73-70, in the championship of the Louisville Classic.

Terrance Woodbury (above left) and MVP Sundiata Gaines (above right) led Georgia to the 2008 SEC Tournament championship with an unforgettable run that included two games in one day. After knocking off Ole Miss in overtime on Thursday, a category F2 tornado struck downtown Atlanta on the night of March 14 shortly before the Bulldogs were to take on Kentucky. It forced postponement of that second-round game, and the tournament’s remainder was played at Alexander Memorial Coliseum (top), home court of arch-rival Georgia Tech. Georgia defeated both the Wildcats and Mississippi State on March 15 and then outlasted Arkansas in the championship game on March 16.

THE ''OTHER CINDERELLA'' OF 1983 THE FINAL FOUR
N.C. State’s victory over Houston in the 1983 NCAA Championship game is one of the college basketball’s most memorable games. Somewhat lost is Georgia’s run as the “other Cinderella” that year. The Bulldogs upset No. 3 St. John’s and No. 8 North Carolina to win the NCAA East Regional at the Carrier Dome advance to Albuquerque before falling to the Wolfpack in the NCAA semifinals.

The late Alec Kessler, an All-America forward at Georgia in 1989-90, arguably rates among the top scholar-athletes in collegiate history. Kessler, a 3.91 student in Microbiology, was twice named the U.S. Basketball Writers Scholar-Athlete of the Year. For being so honored, Kessler was awarded a pair of $20,000 post-graduate scholarships. Kessler, who played four seasons for the NBA’s Miami Heat, in 1991 donated all $40,000 from these scholarships to UGA’s general scholarship fund.

From a team perspective, Wilkins led Georgia to the 1981 NIT, the Bulldogs’ first postseason appearance. A year later, he helped Georgia advance to the NIT semifinals.
Wilkins entered the NBA Draft after his junior year. He was the No. 3 overall pick by the Utah Jazz but soon thereafter traded to the Atlanta Hawks. Wilkins played the majority of his career with the Hawks, where he was a nine-time All-Star, a seven-time All-NBA selection and a two-time slam dunk champion.
In 1991, Wilkins became the first Bulldog to have his jersey – No. 21 – retired by Georgia.
Wilkins was inducted into the Georgia Sports Hall of Fame in 2004, was a member of the Atlanta Sports Hall of Fame’s inaugural class in 2005, was Georgia Basketball’s first inductee into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 2006 and was inducted into the National Collegiate Basketball Hall of Fame in 2016.

UGA CIRCLE OF HONOR WILLIE ANDERSON HUGH DURHAM
Anthony “Zippy” Morocco came to Athens from Youngstown, Ohio and became UGA’s first All-American in basketball and one of the Bulldogs’ best two-sport performers ever.
Morocco led the SEC in scoring in 1953 at 23.6 points per game on 590 points, breaking the existing SEC mark of 540 points by Kentucky’s Cliff Hagan. He led the Bulldog football team in kickoff returns three consecutive years and in punt returns twice. He also was Georgia’s top receiver in 1950 and averaged over 10 yards every time he touched the ball.
Morocco was elected to the state of Georgia Sports Hall of Fame in 1986.

The Circle of Honor is designed to pay tribute to extraordinary student-athletes and coaches who by their performance and conduct have brought honor to the university and themselves, and who by their actions have contributed to the tradition of the Georgia Bulldogs. The criteria for selection also stipulate that each recipient has earned his or her academic degree.
During 17 seasons at Georgia, Hugh Durham elevated Georgia Basketball to a national stage.
Durham is UGA’s winningest coach with 297 victories. Prior to his arrival, Georgia had never received a postseason bid in 74 seasons. The Bulldogs reached postseason play 11 times during Durham’s tenure and also won their first SEC Tournament in 1983 and SEC Championship in 1990. He was named SEC Coach of the Year three times – in 1985, 1987 and 1990.
In UGA’s initial NCAA Tournament appearance in 1983, the Bulldogs advanced to the Final Four. Durham’s Dogs defeated St. John’s and North Carolina to win the East Regional before falling to eventual champion N.C. State.
Durham posted 633 career victories in 37 seasons, with 230 at Florida State and 106 at Jacksonville bookending his wins at Georgia. He was the first coach in Division I history to take two schools to their first Final Four and just the sixth to reach the Final Four at two schools.
Durham was inducted into the FSU Hall of Fame 1980, the Kentucky High School Hall of Fame in 1994, the Florida Sports Hall of Fame in 1999, the Georgia Sports Hall of Fame in 2009, the Kentucky Sports Hall of Fame in 2012 and the National Collegiate Basketball Hall of Fame in 2016.
ALEC KESSLER
Alec Kessler is widely regarded as one of the greatest student-athletes in the history of college athletics.
On the basketball court, he broke UGA’s career scoring record, was named SEC Player of the Year and All-America in 1990 and was chosen No. 12 overall in the NBA Draft.
Kessler graduated with a 3.91 GPA while majoring in Microbiology. He was named men’s basketball’s Academic All-American of the Year in both 1989 and 1990 and was selected as the top Academic All-American for all sports in 1990.
Kessler was elected to the state of Georgia Sports Hall of Fame in 2015.
Atlanta native Willie Anderson blossomed into one of the college basketball‘s most diverse talents during his career at UGA. As a senior, Anderson averaged 16.7 points, 4.0 assists and 1.9 steals in 1988. He then earned a spot on the U.S. Olympic Team that summer.
Anderson was drafted No. 10 overall by San Antonio Spurs in the 1988 NBA Draft. He was a first-team All-NBA Rookie pick in 1989 and went on to play nine seasons in the NBA.
Anderson was enshrined in the State of Georgia Sports Hall of Fame in 2020.

VERN FLEMING
1984 LOS ANGELES OLYMPIC GAMES
Vern Fleming, one of the finest Bulldog performers in history, made his mark at every level of competitive basketball. In 1984, he earned a spot on the U.S. Olympic Team and played a large role in its Gold Medal-winning effort.
Fleming averaged 7.7 points during the Los Angeles Olympics, connecting on 51.1 percent of his shots. He also tallied 19 rebounds, 19 assists and nine steals.
Many consider the 1984 Americans as the finest amateur assemblage in the sport’s history. The squad featured future Naismith Hall of Fame inductees Michael Jordan, Chris Mullin and Patrick Ewing.
From 1984-95, Fleming was a standout player for the NBA’s Indiana Pacers.
WILLIE ANDERSON
1988 SEOUL OLYMPIC GAMES
Willie Anderson was star performer of the 1987 and 1988 Bulldogs, leading the ’87 squad to an NCAA Tournament berth.
In 1988, Anderson was selected to the U.S. Olympic Team and in the same year was the first-round draft pick of the San Antonio Spurs. The Americans earned a bronze medal at the Seoul Olympics. Anderson averaged 5.0 points per game while pacing the squad by shooting 64.0 percent from the field. He also added 13 rebounds, six assists, six steals and four blocks.
Anderson returned from Seoul and played seven years for the Spurs before doing stints with Toronto, New York and Miami to round out his 10-year career in the league.
Anthony Edwards earned first-team all-tournament honors after he helped lead the USA to a fourth place finish at the 2023 FIBA World Cup in Manila. Edwards paced the USA in both scoring (18.9 ppg) and playing time (26.0 mpg) and also was the team’s second-leading rebounder (4.6 rpg).
The following summer, Edwards played a pivotal role in the Americans’ march to a fifth-straight Olympic Gold Medal in Paris.
The Atlanta native averaged 12.8 ppg, 2.8 rpg, 1.2 apg and a team-high 1.3 spg in 16.3 mpg. Edwards posted double-figure scoring totals in four of six Olympic outings, including a 26-point outburst against Puerto Rico which made him the youngest American (22 years old) to reach the 20-point plateau in Olympic competition since Dwight

Jones started all five games for the Americans and averaged 7.4 points for the Gold Medal winners.
TREY THOMPKINS
Thompkins played a key role in the U.S. winning the 2009 FIBA U19 World Championship, averaging 10.6 points – second-best on the team – and 5.1 rebounds. A year later, he was named to the USA Select squad that trained alongside the USA National Team.
DAMIEN WILKINS
Wilkins started every contest in the 2015 Pan Am Games helped the Americans secure a Bronze Medal. He averaged 13.2 points while shooting 54.8 percent from the floor, 75.0 percent from 3-point range and 70.8 percent from the line.
YANTE MATEN ANTHONY EDWARDS
Yante Maten donned the Red, White & Blue for USA Basketball in 2020 for the National Team participating in qualifying for the 2021 Americup. Maten started both games and averaged 14.0 points and 5.5 rebounds in wins over The Bahamas and Mexico.

PREVIOUS PLAYING FACILITIES
Since the inaugural season of 1905-06, Georgia basketball has called six different buildings home. These facilities have held a wide range of usefulness and pertinence to basketball. There’s little doubt, however, that the Bulldogs’ current home of Stegeman Coliseum is the best, most accommodating home they’ve ever had.
During the 1906-12 seasons, Georgia games were played in the old Athens YMCA building located at the corner of Lumpkin and Clayton Streets, currently the site of the Georgia Theater. The seating capacity for spectators was about 200, but it didn’t seem to matter in those days. The earliest Bulldogs played their games in relative anonymity. Very rarely did the attendance reach full capacity at the YMCA building.
The building that is now called Memorial Hall on campus was the second gymnasium used by the Bulldog cagers. Construction on this facility began in 1910 and was to be built by the Alumni and the YMCA in a joint effort. The Alumni Association, however, eventually assumed full responsibility for the funds for its construction. Only in a partial state of completion, the team began to use the auditorium of “Alumni Hall,” as it was called then, for its home games. Spectators viewed the games from a balcony which ran around the playing court, and the baskets were affixed to this balcony. In fact, the balcony became quite the ad-

vantage for Bulldog hoopsters, who had to tailor the arc of their shots to avoid hitting it.
Alumni Hall was used until about 1920, when the team moved to another on-campus location known as “The Octagon.” It was located about where the current Main Library parking lot is, between the library and Jackson Street. Built in 1916 for $3,600 and for the purpose of accommodating summer-school functions, the Octagon was made of wood and sat approximately 1,400 people. The main problem for basketball was the lack of a heating system in this 8-sided building. There was also a four-foot opening around the wall up to the roof, with the roof overhanging to prevent rain from blowing in. The Octagon was used sparingly because of the absence of heat and also because of the ever-growing crowds.
Moss Auditorium, formerly the third floor of what became the Gallant-Belk store, was used for most of the games from 1920 until Woodruff Hall was completed. Crowds of up to 1,500 were estimated to have attended some of the home games.
Around this time, however, Coach Herman J. Stegeman was building quite a program. It be came necessary for the basketball team to enjoy its own facility to accommodate the large crowds. Just before the completion of Woodruff Hall in 1925, the Bulldogs moved back into Alumni Hall, the construction of which had finally resumed after a fund-raising drive.
Excavation began on November 20, 1924 for the construction of Woodruff Hall, the building that was named for George and Harry Woodruff of Columbus, Ga. This facility was built in a cen tral on-campus location, where the Journalism/ Psychology building now stands, and had a seat ing capacity of 3,500. There was space enough for three basketball courts, with the main court measuring not quite the required length of 94 feet. Built at an estimated cost of $53,000, Woodruff Hall was officially dedicated by Dr. S.V. San-
ford on Feb. 21, 1925 in a game where Georgia defeated Georgia Tech 34-24.
Woodruff Hall served as the Bulldogs’ home for nearly 40 years. By the end of that stretch, however, many believed it had become the bane of the program.
Harbin “Red” Lawson was Georgia’s coach for the last 13 years in Woodruff Hall. Publicly, he joked that it was the only basketball facility where wind direction and velocity affected his strategy. Other coaches, led by Kentucky’s Adolph Rupp, despised playing games there. So dimly lit was Woodruff Hall that Auburn coach Joel Eaves turned out half the lights in his own gym, just to prepare for the Georgia game.
Eventually, Eaves became Athletic Director at Georgia. Two years into his tenure, in 1964, the Bulldogs dedicated their current home as the Georgia Coliseum. In 1996, it was given its current name of Stegeman Coliseum in honor of the man that first lifted the Georgia basketball program into prominence.
Over its 50 years, Stegeman Coliseum has hosted its share of memories, and also extracurricular functions. Operated in a co-op agreement with the University’s agricultural college, the Bulldogs once shared the building with various rodeos and other livestock shows. And in 1996, the world’s sporting attention turned to Athens, where
Zippy Morocco, Georgia’s first All-American in 1953, played three years in the spartan conditions of Woodruff Hall, home of the Bulldogs from 1925 until 1964.
