2010-11 SEASON OUTLOOK
36
Fresh off leading the Bulldogs to their most wins in 25 years, Louisiana Tech head coach Kerry Rupp start’s his fourth season in Ruston with almost an entirely different team. Gone is 67 percent of the scoring and 57 percent of the rebounding from last year’s squad that competed in the postseason for the first time in four years (CollegeInsider. com Tournament) and finished with a record of 24-11. However, the cupboard isn’t completely bare for Rupp and his staff. For most coaches, if they could choose the positions for their top two returners it would be at point guard and at the post position. Louisiana Tech has just that in senior guard DeAndre Brown and junior forward Olu Ashaolu. “It’s huge,” said Rupp on having experience in the perimeter as well as the post. “On any great team you want to have a good inside and outside presence. When you return a dominant forward and a very good point guard, you have the chance to have a pretty good team.” To supplement the loss of six letterwinners, Rupp and his staff brought in nine newcomers. While it will take a while for each new Bulldog to find his spot on the team, Rupp is confident that the four college transfers brought in will make an immediate impact. “We are excited about the mixture of college transfers we have who give us a big,
strong and physical presence inside. Then we have a group of talented young high school recruits as well,” Rupp said.
Backcourt
Brown returns for his second and final season at Louisiana Tech as the only senior on the team. The 5-11 guard was a member of the Western Athletic Conference allNewcomer Team last season. He averaged 10.6 points and 3.9 assists while leading the Bulldogs to its highest scoring output in eight years (73.1 points per game). Along with Brown, sophomores Darius Redding, Justin Rake and Tevin Hall return to add experience to the position. All three made their first collegiate shot attempts, and each brings something different to the court. Redding is as athletic as they come and improved game-by-game last season as he adjusted to the college game. The 6-4 wing-type guard averaged 2.4 points and shot 47 percent, the second-highest mark on the team. Rake and Hall hold something in common besides earning walk-on spots last season. Both will be counted on to produce this season, especially early on as the newcomers adjust to the collegiate game. “We are going to have to rely on some of our walk-ons that contributed last year to help us out,” Rupp said. “I think a combination of getting those walk-ons to contribute
immediately and getting the junior college guys to step in will really improve our team. We have a good core of guys returning.” Rake is a shooting guard that averaged one point a game in limited minutes last season. Hall was a perfect four-for-four from the field including one three-pointer in eight games played last season. He played more in the latter part of the season including a high of nine minutes in Tech’s final game of the season, a CIT quarterfinal game at Missouri State. Another key returner is Brandon Gibson. The sophomore suffered a foot injury in practice prior to the team’s first game last season and took a redshirt. As a freshman, Gibson averaged 2.5 points per game. “We are excited about Bandon,” Rupp said. “He had a solid year in terms of getting stronger and becoming quicker after his injury.” Five freshmen will look to get playing time in the Tech backcourt including Stojan Gjuroski (Gostivar, Macedonia), Cordarius Johnson (Coushatta, La.), Kenyon McNeaill (Conway, Ark.), CJ Scott (Milford, Del.) and Lonnie Smith (Birmingham, Ala).
Frontcourt
Ashaolu has improved every season in a Bulldog uniform and with the departure of Magnum Rolle, will be looked on to be a leader as the most veteran player on this year’s team.
www.latechsports.com
Last season, Ashaolu recorded 10 double-doubles while averaging 10.7 points and 8.1 rebounds per game. Motivated by Rolle being selected in the 2010 NBA Draft, Ashaolu committed himself this offseason to get in better shape and improve on his strong sophomore campaign. A big difference between this year and last year is depth. The addition of James Johnson (Los Angeles, Calif.) and transfers J.L. Lewis (University of New Orleans), Antwond Roshell (John A. Logan College) and Romario Souza (College of Southern Idaho) will help keep fresh bodies on the court. Tech will also have more height as Souza is listed at 6-10, Roshell at 6-9, Lewis at 6-8 and Johnson at 6-7. “With the returners we have coming back and the newcomers that were added, we will have more depth,” Rupp said. “Now we just have to develop the talent. We are definitely going to be up tempo and play an aggressive style of basketball.”
Schedule
Similar to last season, Tech’s schedule consists of an in-season tournament, instate opponents and a big-time road game. Of the 15 non-conference games, nine of them will take place in Louisiana or Texas. The Bulldog’s most difficult test is in the team’s first game of the season, a trip to Austin, Texas to face the Longhorns on Nov. 10 in the first game of the 2K Sports Classic
benefiting Coaches vs. Cancer. “I am honored to play at the University of Texas against a premiere program and to participate in a game that represents such a great cause,” Rupp said. “We wanted to start out with a very challenging opponent so we have something to shoot for right from the beginning. It gives us a chance immediately to find out what we are all about.” The Bulldogs open their home schedule against Austin College on Nov. 13 before hosting Houston on Nov. 17. The game against the Cougars will be the second 2010 NCAA Tournament team they will face in three games. Tech then heads to Irvine, Calif. to continue play in the 2K Sports Classic benefiting Coaches vs. Cancer where it will face Seattle, Navy and UC Irvine Nov. 19-21. On Nov. 26, the Bulldogs play at UALR before hosting SMU (Dec. 1) and I-20 rival Louisiana-Monroe (Dec. 4). They continue play in-state with road contests at Northwestern State (Dec. 7) and McNeese Sate (Dec. 11) before traveling to face Houston Baptist on Dec. 14. Rupp holds a 12-3 record all-time against teams from the state of Louisiana. Tech plays on Dec. 18 as UT-Arlington comes to the Thomas Assembly Center. The Bulldogs then play at Iowa on Dec. 21 prior to opening conference play at Boise State on Dec. 29. However, Tech’s non-conference schedule doesn’t stop there. After the Bulldog’s
game against New Mexico State on Feb. 12, Tech plays at North Dakota on Feb. 16 and then hosts an ESPN BracketBuster game on Feb. 19 against an opponent yet to be determined. For the first time since Louisiana Tech has been a member of the WAC, the conference tournament is at a neutral location. The tournament will be held in Las Vegas, Nev. on March 9-12. After back-to-back seasons that saw nine-win improvements, Rupp looks to sustain the success of last season. Despite losing three key starters, this season’s team has more depth and height than Rupp has ever had while at Tech. “I think the goal now is to stay, in the 20-win range,” Rupp said. “We want to stay in the top half of the league, win a championship and get to postseason play. We have a core group returning and are adding some junior college kids, who can make an immediate impact. It all depends on our physical presence inside, how well we develop the newcomers and how quickly they adjust.”

RUPP
HEAD COACH
Kerry Rupp enters his fourth season as the head coach of the Louisiana Tech Bulldog men’s basketball program. Rupp has also developed a reputation as one of the top recruiters in college basketball today and continues to build Louisiana Tech basketball back to prominence. In his time at Tech, Rupp has taken the program to heights that haven’t been reached in years. He’s led Tech to an improvement of nine-wins in each of the last two seasons. The 2009-10 Louisiana Association of Basketball Coaches Coach of the Year and Louisiana Sports Writers Association Coach of the Year led the Bulldogs to a 24-11 record that season, their best since 1985.
Amidst the 24-win season was a 10-game win streak, the most since 1985, and they also received votes in the AP Top 25 for the first time since 1991. Rupp took Tech to postseason play for the time in four years with an appearance in the 2010 CollegeInsider. com Tournament and recorded a win in the postseason for the first time in eight years. In the 2008-09 season, Rupp led Tech to 15 wins, a nine win improvement over the previous season. It was the fourth most improved team in Tech history and the most since 1994-95. Rupp came to Tech after stints at AlabamaBirmingham, Indiana and Utah with plenty of years of experience in the collegiate coaching ranks, and a history of being involved with winning programs. Prior to the 2006-07 season at UAB, Rupp was associate head coach under Mike Davis at Indiana from 2004-2006, when the Hoosiers made an NIT berth in 2005. Rupp also coached DJ White who was named the 2005 Big 10 Freshman of the Year and recruited and signed Ben Allen from Melbourne, Australia, who participated on the World Team in the 2005 Nike Hoop Summit. From 2000-2004, Rupp coached under Rick Majerus for the University of Utah, where the Utes amassed an impressive 70-26 overall record, went to three NCAA Tournaments, an NIT bid and went to the Mountain West Championship game twice. Rupp was also responsible for the Utes’ recruiting of Andrew Bogut, who would become the National Player of the Year, First Team All-American and the top pick in the 2005 NBA Draft. Rupp also had duties as interim head coach for the part of the 2004 season at Utah and finished with a 10-4 record with a Mountain West Tournament Championship for the first time in school history. Rupp arrived at Utah after a successful 24year high school coaching career, where he served as an assistant coach (1986-90) and then head coach (1990-2000) at Salt Lake City’s East High School. In addition to leading the Leopards to four region titles
1978-79
and two state title game appearances, Rupp also was an assistant football coach and served as the school’s athletics director from 1992-2000. Rupp was named the 1999 Coach of the Year by the Utah High School Activities Association. Prior to East High School, Rupp was the head boys’ basketball coach at Unitah (1978-79) and Murray (1979-82) high schools. Rupp also served as an assistant football coach at Salt Lake City South High School from 1982-86. A 1972 graduate of Cyprus High School, where he was an All-American in basketball and all-state performer in football and basketball, Rupp played two years at Utah State before transferring to Southern Utah. He was named the Thunderbirds’ team MVP and earned all-district and allconference honors as a senior in 1977. Rupp has been involved in basketball on several levels. He coached the Utah All-Stars against the adidas national team in 1995, and he directed the Utah High School 4A All-Stars against the 5A All-Stars in 1996 and 1997. He coordinated the Utah Jazz’ Summer League (currently Rocky Mountain Review), when it was held at East High School in 1993 and was part of the Seattle Supersonics’ summer league staff during the 1996 Rocky Mountain Review. Rupp has also worked numerous basketball camps, including the Rick Majerus Big Man-Guard Camp and was director of the Karl Malone Basketball Camp. Rupp also served as the co-executive director of the Karl Malone Foundation For Kids. Rupp earned a bachelor’s degree in physical education from Southern Utah in 1977. He was born Feb. 24, 1954. He and his wife Lori have five daughters; Alie, Lindsey, Shelby, Billie and Randie.

ASSISTANT COACH
Curtis Condie enters his fourth season as an assistant coach at Louisiana Tech. With Condie’s help, Tech went 24-11 during the 2009-10 season, their best record since 1985 and their second-consecutive nine-win improvement. He also helped Tech’s first big improvement from six wins in 2007-08 to 15 wins in 2008-09. The Bulldogs made an appearance in the CollegeInsider.com Tournament and recorded a win in the postseason for the fist time in eight years. Condie came to Tech after a head coaching year at Texas A&M International University and an associate head coaching role at Utah Valley University. In just six months with TAMIU after taking over six weeks into the school year and two weeks before
the season started, Condie led the Dustdevils to a 14-win season after the school only won four games the previous year. With a 14-13 finish, he is the only coach with a winning record at TAMIU.

DR. billy
bundrick
HEAD TEAM PHYSICIAN/ORTHOPEDIC SURGEON When it comes to athletic injuries at Louisiana Tech, the Bulldogs and Lady Techsters look to one of their own as well as one of the best in the United States -- Dr. Billy Bundrick. Dr. Bundrick, who runs the Bone and Joint Clinic in Shreveport, La., has been a familiar face to the Louisiana Tech athletic programs for many years. “I enjoy working with the athletes at Louisiana Tech,” Dr. Bundrick said. “It is a joy to work with athletes because they are people who want to get better and get back on the field.” It was in 1957 that Dr. Bundrick, a young standout football player, decided to transfer to Louisiana Tech from Texas A&M. He earned three letters in football at Tech, including co-captaining the 1959 team to a 9-1 record. He gave up football after that season, graduated from Tech and went to LSU Medical School in New Orleans. Ever since those playing days as a Bulldog, Dr. Bundrick has loved Louisiana Tech University and its athletic programs. In 1969, Dr. Bundrick joined the staff at the Bone and Joint Clinic in Shreveport, and he has remained one of the chief orthopedic doctors in the South ever since. He regained his connection with Louisiana Tech in 1973 when former Bulldog coach Pat Collins saw him at a Captain Shreve High School football game and asked him if he could travel to Ruston to help with the medical treatment of the players during practices. Dr. Bundrick agreed and has been going back and forth from Shreveport to Ruston for the past 30-plus years. Dr. Bundrick’s association with Tech has reached almost four decades and he says he still loves every minute of what he does. Most recently, he was honored by the American Academy of Sports Medicine with the Thomas Brady Award, which recognizes local excellence in sports medicine. Funded by the generous support of Dr. Bundrick, the Tech Sports Medicine Department now has a state-of-the-art training and rehabilitation facilitiy in the William S. Bundrick Sports Medicine Center located in the Charles Wyly Athletic Center. The 3,800 square foot facility contains a Swimex therapeutic pool, cardiovascular equipment, private staff offices and a physician’s examination room. Dr. Bundrick is married to Linda C. Covington.

One of Louisiana Tech’s own returned home six years ago as Dr. Shane Phillips opened his private medical practice and took over as the primary care physician for the Bulldogs and Lady Techster athletic programs. Dr. Phillips attended Cedar Creek High School in Ruston before picking up his undergraduate degree at Louisiana Tech in 1993. He then moved on to medical school at Louisiana State University of Medicine in New Orleans where he graduated in 1999. He completed his residency at the University of Alabama Family Practice Residency Program in Tuscaloosa and wrapped up his fellowship at the American Sports Medicine Institute in Birmingham. During his fellowship, he worked closely with Samford University and Birmingham Southern University, serving as those schools’ team physician. The 39-year-old also serves as team physician for Cedar Creek High School. Dr. Phillips, who is the great grandson of Thomas Assembly Center namesake Sam Thomas, is a member of TeamMD, an area high school sports medicine outreach program that covers 22 local high schools in the north Louisiana area. Dr. Phillips is married to Lauren DeCou and he has a 16-year-old stepson named Zach, a three-year-old son named Beau and a one-yearold daughter Emma.

In its nearly 50 years of existence, the Western Athletic Conference continues to evolve and MEDIA feature some of the nation’s best intercollegiate competition. One thing that remains unchanged is the persistent nature of the nine schools in the WAC to advance their programs to contend at the top levels of the NCAA. The WAC provides its student-athletes the chance to travel to scenic destinations and gain exposure in some of the nation’s most diverse markets. In addition, the WAC’s student-athletes work to achieve the highest levels of success with the academic support of their respective institutions. The WAC has experienced tremendous success. The WAC has sent a total of 31 teams to bowl games since 2001, including more than half of its teams in 2008 with a record-tying five teams. Boise State has won 102 football games since joining the conference, the most in the nation during that time span (2001-09). The conference has sent teams to BCS bowl games in three of the last four seasons as Boise State made a repeat appearance with a victory in the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl this past year following Hawai‘i’s 2008 Sugar Bowl and Boise State’s unforgettable victory in the 2007 Fiesta Bowl. In men’s basketball, the WAC has sent at least two teams to the NCAA Tournament in 24 of the past 27 seasons. Every current school in the WAC has competed in the NCAA Tournament since 1990. In baseball, the WAC has boasted two national champions since 2003 including Fresno State’s College World Series victory in 2008. In women’s sports, Fresno State softball has competed in every NCAA Tournament ever held while Louisiana Tech basketball has played in all but three. In 2009, Hawai‘i made its fourth trip to the NCAA Volleyball Final Four since 2000. Current WAC alums have made their presence felt as well. David Carr (Fresno State) was the first player selected in the 2002 NFL Draft. Cheryl Ford (Louisiana Tech) was named the WNBA Rookie of the Year and helped the Detroit Shock win the league’s championship in 2003. In 2004, the United States’ softball team won the Olympic gold medal with former Fresno State players Laura Berg and Lovie Jung. Jeff Weaver (Fresno State) earned the win in the St. Louis Cardinals’ World Series clinching victory in 2006. Quarterback Colt Brennan (Hawai‘i) finished third in the 2007 Heisman Trophy voting, and in 2008, Natasha Kai (Hawai‘i) helped the United States to a gold medal in soccer at the Olympics in Beijing. In 2001, the WAC partnered with ESPN for coverage of football and basketball giving the conference national exposure from one of the most respected broadcast entities in the country. An extension was signed in 2008 that guarantees over 300 regular season WAC contests and 45 championship events will be aired on the ESPN networks through the spring of 2017. The WAC also officially added WAC.tv in 2006 to give fans streaming internet access to many of its postseason championships
including volleyball, soccer, swimming and diving, basketball, gymnastics, softball and baseball. The WAC is the sixth oldest among the nation’s 11 Division I-A conferences. Its history traces back to July 27, 1962, when the original six-team league of Arizona, Arizona State, Brigham Young, New Mexico, Utah and Wyoming began competition. The first championship was held in November 1962, when Arizona won the men’s cross country title and New Mexico followed with the first WAC football title. Arizona finished second in the NCAA College World Series and, less than three years later, Arizona State claimed the league’s first NCAA title when the Sun Devils won the College World Series trophy. Fresno State was the last WAC school to earn an NCAA team title when it won the College World Series in 2008. Since 1962, several changes have occurred. UTEP and Colorado State became members in September 1967, while Arizona and Arizona State withdrew on June 30, 1978. The WAC then added San Diego State (1978), Hawai‘i (1979) and Air Force (1980). Before 1990, the WAC sponsored championships only in men’s sports. However, a merger with the High Country Athletic Conference formed a single conference under one administrative structure, and the 1990-91 athletic year was the first in which both men and women competed under the WAC name. Fresno State was added in 1992, and then in 1996, the women’s programs from Air Force and Hawai‘i along with six new schools (UNLV, Rice, San Jose State, SMU, TCU and Tulsa) came into the WAC. Air Force, Brigham Young, Colorado State, UNLV, New Mexico, San Diego State, Utah and Wyoming withdrew on June 30, 1999. Nevada (2000), Boise State (2001) and Louisiana Tech (2001) were added while TCU withdrew following the 2000-01 season. The current membership was established on July 1, 2005, when Idaho, New Mexico State and Utah State joined the WAC after Rice, SMU, UTEP and Tulsa withdrew. The WAC has had just five commissioners in its history. Paul Brechler was named the first leader of the conference and held the position from 1962-1968. He was followed by Wiles Hallock (1968-71), Stan Bates (1971-80), Dr. Joe Kearney (1980-94) and Karl Benson (1994-present). Presently, the WAC crowns team and individual champions in 19 sports – eight men’s and 11 women’s. For the men, there are championships in baseball, basketball, cross country, football, golf, tennis, indoor track and field and outdoor track and field. Championships for women are held in basketball, cross country, golf, gymnastics, soccer, softball, swimming and diving, tennis, indoor track and field, outdoor track and fieldand volleyball. The WAC office has been located in the Denver area since the conference’s inception with the exception of a two-year stay in Phoenix from 1964-66.

WAC COMMISSIONER When Karl Benson was named the fifth commissioner in the history of the Western Athletic Conference on April 20, 1994, he brought with him a wealth of experience and a personal history of success to the position. Since that time, Benson not only has laid a strong foundation for the WAC’s future, he also steered the conference through unsettled times during the late 1990s and again a few years later when the defection of member institutions threatened the WAC. Through his leadership and vision, it didn’t take long for the WAC to regain its place among the nation’s top Division I conferences. Benson has spearheaded conference expansion with the additions of Nevada, Boise State and Louisiana Tech earlier this decade and an additional round of expansion with the invitations of New Mexico State, Utah State and Idaho a few years ago. Nationally, Benson has earned the respect of his peers after serving on the NCAA Management Council from 1999-2002, and a five-year term on the NCAA Men’s Basketball Committee from 2002-06. Benson hit the ground running when he was hired in 1994 and initiated several programs that improved the conference’s national position in virtually ever category. He was instrumental in developing multi-year agreements with the Holiday Bowl, Cotton Bowl, Copper Bowl, Las Vegas Bowl, Silicon Valley Football Classic, GMAC Bowl and currently, the Humanitarian Bowl, Sheraton Hawai‘i Bowl, New Mexico Bowl, Poinsettia Bowl and Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl. In the summer of 2005, he implemented “Play Up” a new marketing campaign to improve the public and private perceptions of the WAC and its members through national, local and regional touch points. The conference officially added WAC.tv prior to the 2006-07 season, giving fans streaming video access to many of the postseason championships of the sports offered by the WAC. In 1995-96, the WAC signed an exclusive multi-year agreement with ESPN for the unprecedented live telecast of its basketball and football. Included in that deal was a women’s basketball contract, the first in conference history. In 2008, Benson negotiated an extension with ESPN that gives the WAC over 300 regular season contests and 45 championship events that will be aired through the 2016-17 season. Benson came to the WAC after four successful years as the commissioner of the Mid-American Conference. There, he implemented several innovative projects and was instrumental in the formation of the Las Vegas Bowl. Prior to taking the reins of the MAC, Benson served on the NCAA
70
staff for more than four years where he was the director of NCAA championships when selected as MAC commissioner.

2009-10 REVIEW Game 1 Louisiana Tech 80, Texas-Pan American 11/14/08, Edinberg, Texas EDINBERG, Texas – Sophomore Olu Ashaolu recorded his second-career double-double as Louisiana Tech opened the season with an 80-62 win at Texas PanAmerican on Saturday. It is the second consecutive 1-0 start for the Bulldogs who were led by Ashaolu’s 18-point, 12-rebound performance. Both were career highs for the Toronto, Ontario native. Tech had three other players join Ashaolu in double figures as senior Kyle Gibson had 16, junior DeAndre Brown had 13 and senior Magnum Rolle with 12. “I like our balance,” Tech head coach Kerry Rupp said. “I think this is going to be a very balanced team inside and out. We just have to keep our competitive edge, play hard and rebound.” It took nine seconds into the game for Tech to get its first points of the season as senior Jamel Guyton found Rolle cutting to the basket for a quick 2-0 lead. Rolle was whistled for his second foul with 16 minutes to go in the half with a 9-5 lead. Tech used a combined effort from junior Shawn Oliverson and senior David Jackson as Rolle was out for the remainder of the period. “We used everybody on the bench in the first half,” Rupp said. “We ended the first half on an 8-0 run and we really got down and defended. We have to make sure we don’t confuse playing hard with fouling.” Guyton nailed his second of three three-pointers in the game to increase the Tech lead to 20-12. After a time-

Tech had 12 slam dunks in the game and of the first 14 points, 10 of those points were on dunks. “I thought it was important to get after them in the first five minutes and our kids really responded,” head coach Kerry Rupp said. Tech led 52-30 at the half. In the second half, off of a Guyton steal and missed lay-up, Ashaolu grabbed the rebound and slammed home one of his six dunks on the night. That gave Tech a 62-35 lead four minutes into the period. Freshman Darius Redding’s dunk with 12:24 remain-
ing gave LA Tech its biggest lead at 76-34. Redding had his best game as a Bulldog with 11 points, on 4-of-5 shooting, and five rebounds. Junior DeAndre Brown scored six points and matched his season-high assist total with six to go with just one turnover. “DeAndre only forced one shot tonight and only shot when he was open and in rhythm,” Rupp said. “He really tried to get the ball inside and do the right thing. He did a great job of letting things come to him and I’m really proud of him for that.” The Bulldogs dominated in the paint 48-24 and recorded 20 points off of 13 Demon turnovers. The 11 threepointers made, 36 field goals made and seven blocks were all season-highs for LA Tech. Senior Magnum Rolle had eight rebounds, five offensive, to go with seven points and three blocks.

They took away our inside game.” LA Tech (7-2) was hurt by shooting 36 percent from the field while Arizona shot 51 percent, 58 percent in the second half. Fourteen of the Wildcats first 17 points came in paint. “It was all the little things we forgot to do,” Rupp said. “We didn’t hit some shots that we usually hit and we took some bad shots. We had some offensive boards and didn’t finish them with points.” Tech got out to a great start and maintained a lead throughout the first 10 minutes of the game. After two Jackson free throws, the Bulldogs mounted their biggest lead of the game 20-13 eight minutes in. Since the mark however, Arizona put together an 18-7 run to take a 31-27 lead with 5:33 remaining in the half.

The two teams traded points the rest of the way and ended with a final of 83-67. The loss puts an end to a Tech five-game win streak. “Everyday it’s a new day and a chance to get better,”
Rupp said. “Our talk before the game was that we have to out-tough them and we didn’t do that.” Arizona senior Nick Wise led five Wildcats in double-figures with 24 points. Junior Jamelle Horne added a career-high 24 Nick Wise as UA improved to 4-4 on the season.

Senior Kyle Gibson also scored 16 points including two three-pointers and five assists.

LA Tech fell to 17-3 overall and 5-1 in the Western Athletic Conference while SJSU improved to 10-8 overall and 3-3 in the WAC. “I thought the whole night they out-hustled us,” Tech head coach Kerry Rupp said. “That is just one game and we have to learn from it and go forward. We’ve got to fight and come out hungry and we didn’t do that tonight.” In a battle of the top two scorers in the conference, San Jose State’s Adrian Oliver answered the bell with a career-high 39 points on 12-of-19 shooting from the field and 12-of-12 from the free throw line. Gibson scored just two points in six minutes of play in the first half due to foul trouble, but came alive in the second half with 20 points to finish with 22. Sophomore forward Olu Ashaolu scored 19 points on 9-of-13 shooting from the field and led all-players with eight rebounds. Gibson picked up his second foul six minutes into the game and Rolle got his second 10 minutes into the contest. As the Bulldogs were without their two best players for most of the half, Oliver put on a remarkable shooting display. He scored 12 of the Spartans first 14 points to jump out to a 14-8 lead at the 12 minute mark. After an Oliver three to sink LA Tech into a 32-20 deficit, sophomore guard Anson Bartlett sparked the Bulldogs with back-to-back lay-ups, one coming after he stole a Spartan pass. Oliver’s 25 first-half points, the most for one half in his career, were too much as SJSU led 41-31 at halftime. Ashaolu was the only Bulldog to produce consistent scoring with 10 points on 5-of-8 shooting. Gibson picked up his fourth foul five minutes into the second half, but Rupp elected to let Gibson stay in the game and he immediately answered his coach’s trust with
a three-pointer and was fouled on the play. He converted the four-point play to trim the Spartan lead to 52-45 with 14:25 remaining. Ashaolu hit back-to-back two-foot field goals to get the Bulldogs within four, 64-60. However, Oliver answered with two field goals of his own, one on a threepoint play as SJSU led 69-60 with 7:48 left in the game.

On their next possession, Rolle hit a lay-up as he scored 13 of the Bulldog’s final 18 points of the first half. At halftime Tech led 31-30. The second half was very physical with bodies constantly hitting the floor. That fueled a 13-5 run to give LA Tech a 54-45 lead with 6:49 remaining capped off by a Guyton steal and dunk. That was the largest lead of the night for the Bulldogs. With Gibson missing three-consecutive free throws in the final minute and UH converting back-to-back buckets, Tech’s lead was down to just two, 61-59 with 33 seconds remaining.

Kyle Gibson and Jamel Guyton had spent the last two weeks recovering from ankle injuries and just like the senior duo; Rolle’s absence was very noticeable throughout the game. “It was very tough to see Magnum go down hurt,” Gibson said. “Utah made adjustments to that, even though it was tough we still had good morale.” Not much went right for Tech as they were outrebounded 39-26, outshot from the field 58.8-34.5 percent and outshot from three-point range 52.6-25.0 percent. “Tech wasn’t themselves, but we did what we needed to do,” Utah State head coach Stew Morrill said.” The first half was dominated by Aggies as they shot 65.5 percent (19-29) from the field and the Bulldogs shot just 29.6 percent (8-27).

RUSTON, La. – After trailing by 11 early, Louisiana Tech battled back to beat Southern Miss in the first round of the CIT Thursday at the Thomas Assembly Center. With its top two scorers out due to injury, it was going to take a special kind of effort from the Bulldogs to beat the Golden Eagles, and that’s exactly what was done. “It’s really a matter of bringing energy defensively and blocking out,” Tech head coach Kerry Rupp said.
“Then we had to have the mentality of ‘nothing is going to be easy, let’s grind it out a little bit,’ and I thought for the most part the guys did a really good job. I’m really proud of them.” With the win Tech improved to 24-10 and will play at Missouri State on Monday at 7 p.m. Southern Miss ended their season 20-14. “We felt like we stayed with the game plan, even though we were down early,” Rupp said. “Even after halftime we stayed with it and got better defensively.” Tech was led by sophomore Olu Ashaolu who recorded his 10th double-double of the season with 18 points and 10 rebounds. “I thought Olu was good and I thought Darius did a nice job,” Rupp said. “Defensively I thought all of our guys were good.” Freshman Darius Redding scored a season-high 13 points and six rebounds. His 33 minutes of play, nearly doubled his previous high of 17. Senior Jamel Guyton added 15 on 5-of-9 shooting from the field. Tech fell behind 16-5 early on, but slowly mounted a comeback.

In the second half, Tech trailed 35-33 at the 18:07 mark, but that was the last time the Bulldogs would trail in the game. Tech used a 21-6 run to jet out in front, 54-41, its largest lead of the game, with nine minutes remaining. The Bulldogs shot their best percentage from the field in 16 games at 56 percent (28-50) including 65.2 percent shooting in the second half. They held the Golden Eagles to 35.9 percent shooting (23-64). Tech won despite being outrebounded 40-33 and allowing more turnovers (14-11). They did however, score over half of their points in the paint with 39 to USM’s 20.
lead.
Tech trailed at half despite outshooting MSU 40 percent to 30.3 percent. The Bulldogs were plagued by 11 turnovers which the Bears converted to 17 points. MSU had just three turnovers. The 23 points was a season low halftime total by the Bulldogs. The second half started similar to the first for Tech as they started 3-of-10 from the field and trailed 50-33 after the first nine minutes of play. The deficit only grew larger for the Bulldogs who were 6-of-26 from the field and outscored 41-17 in the second half. Tech had 17 turnovers that led to 28 MSU points. The Bears were 17-of-18 from the free throw line while the Bulldogs were 4-of-7. Missouri State was led by Adam Leonard with 20 points including six three-pointers. The Bears shot 37.9 percent from the field (22-58). “I’m proud of what our seniors have done,” Rupp said of Jackson, Rolle, Jamel Guyton and Kyle Gibson. We didn’t want the season to end like this. We want to get some of these young guys to be tougher and more committed and do all the little things that good teams do. I thought Missouri State did those little things tonight.” The Bulldogs end their season with the most wins since 1985 and their first postseason appearance since 2006.
Game 35 Missouri State 69, Louisiana Tech 40 3/22/10, Springfield, Mo. SPRINGFIELD, Mo. – Louisiana Tech’s season ended Monday with a 69-40 loss at Missouri State in the second round of the CollegeInsider.com Tournament at JQH Arena. It was the lowest point total of the season for Tech who ends the season with a record of 24-11. Missouri State improved to 22-12 and advanced to the semifinals of the CIT. “That was a good disciplined team,” Tech head coach Kerry Rupp said. “You have to be disciplined, stay with them and stay with the game plan. We were there in the first 20 minutes, but not all 40 and that’s what it takes.” The Bulldogs were doomed by poor shooting as they shot 31.4 percent from the field, the second lowest mark of the season. Tech’s 40 points and 16 field goals were both season lows. Senior David Jackson led a balanced scoring effort with 10 points and a team-high nine rebounds. Senior Magnum Rolle didn’t start and played 13 minutes while nursing an injury, but scored nine points on 3-of-4 shooting. Both teams were cold from the field in the first half as Tech started 1-for-10 while MSU started 2-for-15.

The last year of the decade would usher in a new coach, Coach Jerry Loyd, Tech’s 13th head coach. Tech continued its winning ways, posting a 20-8 record and winning the school’s fourth conference championship of the decade. The Bulldogs also played in the postseason in the NIT, the

louisiana tech bulldogs seventh year in a row that Louisiana Tech played after the regular season. All in all, the 1980’s produced eight 20-win seasons, seven post season appearances, four conference championships and two AllAmericans. Seven of the 20-win seasons were consecutive as were all seven of the postseason appearances. During the decade of the 80’s, 16 players made the all-conference team, with Malone, White and Willie Simmons all earning conference Player of the Year awards. Malone and Reggie Gibbs picked up Newcomer of the Year awards during the decade. Coach Russo earned three Coach of the Year honors, Coach Eagles gathered two and Coach Loyd received one during that period.

Louisiana Tech continued its dominance in the early 1990’s by going 21-10 and capturing the America South Tournament Championship during the 1990-91 season. The Bulldogs again advanced to the NCAA Tournament, the sixth time in school history. The 1991-92 season marked a new conference for the Bulldogs as Louisiana Tech became a member of the Sun Belt Conference. Tech started the league on a good note by winning the league title with a 23-8 record, their ninth consecutive 20-win season. The NIT awaited the team that season to bring their postseason appearances to nine straight years as well. The Bulldogs also gathered their 900th win with a 76-62 victory over Jackson State that season. But the string of consecutive 20-win season and postseason appearances would end the next season as the Bulldogs suffered their biggest decline, dropping to a 7-21 record. The 1993-94 season would be the lowest point in the decline as Tech finished the year 2-25, the lowest win total in school history. In 1994, Coach Jim Wooldridge became Louisiana Tech’s 14th head coach and immediately began to reconstruct the program. In his first season, Wooldridge guided the Bulldogs to the biggest turnaround in school history, picking up a 14-13 record, a 12-game improvement over the previous season. For the next few years under Wooldridge’s guidance, Louisiana Tech became competitive again. During the 1996-97 season, the Bulldogs played in the SBC Tournament final on ESPN, falling just short with a one point loss. In 1998, Louisiana Tech named Coach Keith Richard as the school’s 15th head coach. Richard immediately guided the Bulldogs back to another Sun Belt Championship with a 19-9 record, the first league title since the 1991-92 season. The 1999-2000 season would go a step further as Louisiana Tech collected its 16th 20-win season with a 21-8 record. The season would also be monumental because the Bulldogs picked up the program’s 1000th victory with a 85-62 win over Nicholls State. Twelve Bulldogs earned all-conference honors during the decade with Ron Ellis and Gerrod Henderson picking up Player of the Year awards. Derek Smith and Antonio Meeking received Freshman of the Year awards while Ellis and Craig Jackson picked up Newcomer of the Year honors. Coach Richard earned Sun Belt Conference Coach of the Year honors during the 199899 season.

2000-10
Records: 96-85 (.570) Coaches: Keith Richard (2000-07); Kerry Rupp (2007-present) Conference Affiliation (Years)/Titles: Sun Belt Conference (2000-01); Western Athletic Conference (2001-present) Louisiana Tech carried its winning tradition into the new millenium with a 17-12 record in the school’s last season in the Sun Belt Conference. That successful campaign gave the Bulldogs three consecutive winning seasons for the first time since the 1989 through 1992 seasons. The 2000-01 Bulldogs also become the first team in school history to record 10 or more conference wins in three consecutive seasons. Head Coach Keith Richard left the Sun Belt Conference with the sixth best all-time winning percentage in the league’s history. His teams also won more conference games during his tenure that any other team in the league. Following the 2000-01 season the Bulldogs jumped over to the Western Athletic Conference with successful results. The Bulldogs roared to a 22-10 mark, winning a Tech record 14 conference games to finish third in the WAC. The team advanced to the postseason for the first time since the 1991-92 season by accepting a NIT bid. The NIT invitation wasn’t enough for the Bulldogs, who hosted UL-Lafayette in the first round and cruised to a 83-63 win over the Ragin’ Cajuns. The Bulldogs followed with an 83-68 win over Vanderbilt, marking the season’s second win over a Southeastern Conference opponent after the Bulldogs recorded an earlier win at Auburn. Tech’s home win over Vanderbilt set up a road match at perrenial powerhouse Villanova. The Bulldogs trailed early but tightened things up late to set up a dramatic finish. Tech trailed by three points as senior Gerrod Henderson, renowned for his last-minute heroics, had the opportunity to tie the game at the buzzer. Henderson’s shot was on line but hit the front of the rim as Tech’s season ended with the 67-64 loss. Two years ago a rollercoaster of a season saw the Bulldogs ride both winning and losing streaks on the way to a 12-15 finish. The team dropped its final five games after winning seven straight, making the Bulldogs hungry to turn things around the following season with a mixture of new and inexperienced Bulldogs. That inexperience resulted in a 15-15 mark for Tech in 2003-04, but the emergence of WAC Freshman of the Year Paul Millsap, who led the NCAA in rebounds with 12.5 per game, gave the Bulldogs a bright future as more experience and talent was added to the team. Richard dubbed that season “a successful rebuilding year,” but the Bulldogs ended the 2004-05 season with a mediocre 14-15 overall record and fourth-place in the WAC at 9-9. Six seasons into the decade, a Bulldog has been honored as an all-conference player All- American following each campaign. Gerrod Henderson represented Tech on two consecutive allleague teams while Darrian Brown earned Western Athletic Conference Newcomer of the Year accolades following the 2001-02 seasons. 1988-89 Two years ago Antonio “Tiger” Meeking was named a first-team All-WAC selection, AP Honorable and Millsap has earned a WAC Freshman of the Year award, second-team All-WAC selection and first-team All-WAC pick. He was also selected as a preseason first-team allMention conference player for the 2005-06 season. In 2005-06, Richard took 10 newcomers to the 18th 20-win season in Tech’s history and to a sixth NIT appearance. Millsap also entered himself into the record books as the first athlete in the history of the NCAA to capture the rebounding championship in back-to-back-to-back seasons averaging 13.3 boards per game. After electing not to renew Richard’s contract, Louisiana Tech turned to nationally renowned Kerry Rupp to lead the Bulldogs into the future. Rupp comes to Tech from Mike Davis’ staffs in Alabama-Birmingham and Indiana, while also serving under Rick Majerus at Utah. Rupp’s renown comes from his ability to recruit and will look to return Tech to the glory days of the late 70’s and early 80’s.In season three of the Rupp era, the Bulldogs reached heights they hadn’t seen in years with the program’s 19th 20-win season and a spot in the postseason in the CollegeInsider.com Tournament. Tech got national attention due to their 18-2 start to the season as they earned votes in the AP and ESPN/ USA Today Top 25 poll. They dominated games at the TAC going 12-2, the most wins since 2000. Kyle Gibson capped off a remarkable career by finishing 8th on Tech’s all-time scoring list and finished in the top 10 in numerous catagories. He and Magnum Rolle were selected to the allWAC Second Team. Rupp improved the team’s record by nine wins in back-to-back seasons and in doing so, was named the Coach of the Year in the state by the Louisiana Association of Basketball Coaches as well as the Louisiana Sports Writers Association.

Under Reneau’s leadership, the university is on track in its long-term Tech 2020 goal, a strategy to ensure the university stays in tune with academic, economic, and research trends in the state, region, and nation. “The transformation of higher education in Louisiana is taking place before our eyes,” Reneau said. “The faculty and staff of Louisiana Tech have chosen to use this transformation as an opportunity to strengthen their institution through a collective and progressive recruitment and retention effort.” The university has continually thrived with Reneau at the helm in a variety of areas, including: * New construction and renovation of buildings. Currently, the first buildings of Tech’s Enterprise Campus are being constructed, and renovations include the expansion of the Maxie Lambright Intramural Center, the Technology Transfer Center and the Visual Arts Center. The $20 million Quest for Excellence initiative was also announced in Summer 2010, and plans are in the works for the construction of a 90,000-plus square-foot multipurpose facility in the south end zone of Joe Aillet Stadium. The new facility will benefit all student athletes and will include a state-of-the-art sports medicine facility, a new strength and conditioning complex and a new academic center. * All-time high average ACT score of entering freshmen. The average ACT score of beginning freshmen increased from 22.5 in the fall of 2004 to 23.5 in the fall of 2009. * Received national accolades. The university was ranked among the nation’s best colleges and universities and moved up to a Tier 3 ranking by U.S. News and World Report’s 2010 Best Colleges publication. In addition, Louisiana Tech achieved the state’s highest ranking among public colleges and universities, according to Washington Monthly’s 2009 College Rankings. * Performance-based Funding. Tech fared better than all Louisiana public universities for performance-based funding. * National bookstore chain comes to campus. Barnes & Noble bought out the bookstore and will offer more book selections with plans to expand in three to five years. * Increased enrollment recognized. In Fall 2009, Louisiana Tech’s total enrollment stood at 11,289 students, which represents an addition of 339 students, an increase of 3.1 percent. Reneau is leaving a lasting legacy with Louisiana Tech, especially with the engineering program. Reneau graduated with his bachelor’s degree in chemical engineering from Tech in 1963 and received his master’s in the same subject in 1964. He received his Ph.D. in 1966 from Clemson University. Reneau became a faculty member at Tech in 1967 as an assistant professor of chemical engineering and made his way up the ladder to associate professor in 1969 and a full professor in 1973. Reneau’s professional experience includes serving as a research engineer for both Esso and Humble oil companies and as a consultant for five other corporations and universities. Reneau also has studied abroad at Johannes Gutenburg University in Mainz, West Germany, as an Alexander-von-Humbolt Stiftung visiting professor and also to England at Cambridge and Bristol universities as a visiting professor. At Tech, Reneau established the biomedical engineering department and was named its head in 1972. The department became the fifth accredited department for its undergraduate curriculum in the United States, and the doctoral program was awarded a commendation of excellence by the Board of Regents. In 1980, Reneau was promoted to vice president for academic affairs, serving as the chief academic officer to some 400 faculty in six colleges and three professional schools with more than 160 different degree programs. During his tenure as vice president, every major program became accredited, and he was also instrumental in
establishing the Center for Biomedical Engineering and Rehabilitation Science. Reneau was selected as the university’s 13th president Feb. 20, 1987, and the public endorsed their new president before the decision was even made. The university paper, The Tech Talk, issued a rare endorsement for the Tech alumnus; the Student Government Association supported his selection through a resolution sent to Baton Rouge; many faculty members circulated a petition for his appointment; and even the Faculty Senate gave Reneau a stamp of approval. When hurricanes Katrina and Rita devastated the Louisiana coast in 2005, under Reneau’s leadership, Tech welcomed hundreds of evacuees and offered them shelter in Caruthers Residence Hall. Tech also opened its doors to students from various universities in New Orleans as well as the Tulane University football team. Tech continues to flourish under Reneau’s leadership. In 2007, the university and its president received a glowing review from a team led by national educational consultant James Fisher. Tech’s graduate programs continue to prosper, as well. A total of ten doctoral degrees are now available at Tech, including a new doctoral program in industrial and organizational psychology that began in 2009. In 2007, Tech produced the first graduate in the world who holds a bachelor’s degree in nanosystems engineering. Last year, Tech reported a record graduate student enrollment with graduate enrollment totaling 2,530, an increase of 9.3 percent. As Tech holds strong to its 2020 goal, progress is echoed by research, such as a study conducted by the Applied Research Technology Corporation of Baton Rouge. The study shows that Louisiana Tech students have an annual statewide spending impact of $145 million and contribute over 56 hours of volunteerism per student, per year. Over the past 10 years, 65 percent of Tech’s graduates have stayed in Louisiana with total earnings of nearly $1 billion. “One of Louisiana Tech’s greatest strengths has always been the quality of its students,” Reneau said. “Their success, both during and after college, will impact not only the future of our university, but also the future of our region and our state. As a campus community, we have a responsibility to do everything we can to continue recruiting, educating and graduating the next generation of Louisiana’s leaders.” Reneau, a native of Woodville, Miss., was born June 11, 1940. He started as a student at Tech in 1959 and met his wife, the former Linda Digby, of Bernice, while a student at Tech. Reneau and his wife have two children, John and Dana, who are both Tech alumni as well. John lives in Las Vegas, and Dana lives in Baton Rouge with her husband, Jim Bernhard, and their two sons, Michael and Ben.

The Lady Techster basketball team won the 2009 regular season Western Athletic Conference title and the 2010 WAC Tournament title,
FOOTBALL
and the women’s indoor and outdoor track and field teams won both the 2009 and 2010 league titles. The University’s student-athletes have also seen success in the classroom since his arrival on campus as this past year saw eight of the 16 program’s record their highest multi-year APR ever and seven record their highest single-year APR ever. During the 2009-10 season, Tech saw 94 student-athletes earn Academic all-WAC honors for their work in the classrooms while senior sprinter Antoinette Cobb earned the Honda Inspiration Award for her work both on the track and in the classroom while overcoming a battle with cancer. Van De Velde came to Tech with impressive credentials, having served as an administrator in intercollegiate athletics for over 20 years. Van De Velde served as athletics director at Iowa State University and Utah State University and as a senior administrator at the University of Oklahoma, University of Missouri and Kansas State University. Van De Velde’s tenure at Iowa State University included an unprecedented five bowl appearances in six years and the highest national AP football poll ranking (9th) in school history. Iowa State’s 2001 average football attendance of 45,172 reached its highest watermark in 18 years. In 2002 and 2003, total football attendance exceeded 300,000; the most at ISU in two decades. The emergence of the Cyclone football program on a national stage with Van De Velde at the department helm was affirmed in 2002 when Iowa State was chosen to play No. 1 Florida State University in the Eddie Robinson Classic. During Van De Velde’s tenure at Iowa State, the men’s and women’s basketball teams won Big XII conference championships and participated in the 2001, 2002 and 2005 NCAA basketball tournaments. Van De Velde, with a track record for generating revenue, increased the total annual operating revenues for the Cyclone athletic department from $19.6 million to $30 million dollars over a five year period. Revenue generated from fundraising, ticket sales, marketing and corporate sponsorships, licensing, radio and television reached all-time highs during his tenure. In 2005, total fundraising increased from $4.85 million to $8.6 million and the annual giving achieved the highest membership total in its history with more than 5,500 donors participating and a record $4 million dollars in annual contributions. Under Van De Velde’s leadership, over 2,000 new donors joined the National Cyclone Club. Including capital project gifts, scholarship endowments and annual contributions, over $40 million dollars was raised from 2001 through 2005. Iowa State’s graduation rate of 89 percent for student-athletes who complete their eligibility was second in the Big XII Conference,

and graduation rates for minority student-athletes more than tripled during Van De Velde’s tenure. In 2004-05, Iowa State was one of eight universities nationally to have its football team win a bowl game and have its men and women’s basketball teams participate in the NCAA tournament. The Sporting News in 2001 rated Iowa State as the seventh best athletic program among more than 115 NCAA Division I-A programs nationally. The ranking considered competitive success, graduation rates, fan support and NCAA compliance to determine national rank. During his time as athletic director at Utah State University, Van De Velde made his mark by hiring Stew Morrill as the head men’s basketball coach. Morrill has guided Utah State to nine straight postseason tournaments and is the winningest coach in the history of the Utah State program. While serving as the associate athletic director for football operations under head coach Bill Snyder at Kansas State University, Van De Velde was part of the resurrection of Wildcat football in Manhattan as the program became a national power participating in five bowl games. Van De Velde was recipient of the Admiral U.S. Grant Sharp Award at the 1997 Holiday Bowl for his contributions to the Kansas State football team when the nationally ranked Wildcats finished with a 10-2 record. As the senior associate athletic for external affairs at the University of Oklahoma, Van De Velde served as the senior administrative officer for the athletic department and oversaw the areas of fundraising, marketing, corporate sponsorships, ticket sales, media relations and licensing.

He and his wife Debbie, who is a Kansas State alum and who works in the LA Tech College of Business, are the proud parents of 10-year-old daughter, Ashley who is entering the fourth grade.
MARY KAY
HUNGATE
Deputy Athletics Director/ Senior Woman Administrator Deputy Athletics Director and Senior Woman Administrator Mary Kay Hungate returns for her 26th year as a member of the Louisiana Tech athletics department and has proven to be an integral part in the recent emergence of the Tech teams on the playing fields and in the classroom. Not only does Hungate serve as the sports administrator for men’s and women’s basketball, women’s soccer, softball, women’s tennis, women’s bowling and women’s volleyball, but she is also in charge of NCAA compliance for all of the university’s 16 NCAA sanctioned programs.
As one of the top two ranking administrators in the Tech athletics department, Hungate is part of a senior staff that has been instrumental in garnering a number of national awards, including the 2010 Turnkey PRISM Award - which recognizes colleges for managerial excellence across four areas: marketing/branding; fan development; community relations; and customer/client service. The Tech athletics department has also finished in the Top 10 the past two years in the Excellence in Management Cup, which recognizes the most efficient athletic departments in the nation. Hungate serves a vital role in the hiring of coaches. Hungate proved instrumental in the decision by former Tech Kodak All-American and WNBA All-Star Teresa Weatherspoon - who played for Hungate in the late-80s - to return to Louisiana Tech in June of 2008. Weatherspoon was promoted to head coach in February of 2009 where she led the Lady Techsters to the WAC regular season title and a berth in the WNIT. This past season, she led Tech to the 2010 WAC Tournament title and a return to the NCAA Tournament. She also served as the point person in the hiring process of head women’s soccer coach Kevin Sherry and head women’s volleyball coach Matt Sonnichsen. Sherry led the Lady Techster soccer team to two straight winning seasons the past two years - the first in program history - and the program’s first ever WAC victory. In only his second season at the helm, Sonnichsen, who was a three-time All-American and two-time National Champion during his playing days at UCLA, led the Lady Techsters to 15 wins - the most since 2005 - as well as a program record in WAC victories. Another of Hungate’s responsibilities includes overseeing the academic side of the Tech athletics department, another area which has improved drastically as proven by the fact LA Tech’s graduation rate continues to be one of the highest in the state (Federal Graduation Report), including ranking No. 1 in the state of Louisiana and the Western Athletic Conference in recent years. This past year eight of the 16 NCAA sanctioned programs at LA Tech earn their highest multi-year APR score ever while 94 studentathletes earned Academic all-WAC honors. Hungate also plays an important role in LA Tech’s NCAA Certification process. As a member of the Steering Committee and the liaison between the athletic department and the University’s Self Study Committees, she provides the information needed for the committees to write their reports. In 2006, LA Tech completed its second NCAA Certification cycle and once again was certified without conditions. Hungate joined the Louisiana Tech staff in 1985 as an assistant women’s basketball coach and remained in that role for five years. During that time, the Lady Techsters participated in four Final Fours and won the NCAA National Championship in 1988. In 1990, Hungate made a move out of coaching and became assistant athletics director for academics and compliance as well as senior woman administrator. One of Hungate’s early accomplishments as assistant director of athletics was the creation of the Louisiana Tech Athletic Academic Center program. Hungate has served terms on the NCAA Division I Academics/ Eligibility/Compliance Cabinet, the NCAA Division I Interpretations/ Legislative Review Subcommittee, the National Association of Collegiate Women Athletics Administrators Wade Trophy Selection Committee and as an NCAA Peer Reviewer. She has also served on the NCAA Division I Women’s Basketball Issues Committee since 2004. She currently serves on the Western Athletic Conference Council, the Conferences’ Legislative Review Committee, the Finance Committee and the Code Book Committee. In addition, along with Athletics Director Bruce Van De Velde, she represents the athletics department as an ex-officio member of the LA Tech Athletics Council. Hungate’s professional career began as Women’s Sports Coordinator and head volleyball, head basketball and head softball coach at Illinois’ Carl Sandburg Junior College. She spent four seasons at the college where she guided the basketball team to a mark of 80-22 which included an 11th place finish in the 1976 NJCAA national tournament. In 1978 Hungate took over the head coaching position at Richwoods High School in Peoria, Ill., and quickly compiled one of the top prep coaching records in the nation. During her seven seasons at Richwoods High School, Hungate’s team ran up an impressive record of 195-13, including a state-record 63 consecutive victories. Hungate was named the National Coach of the Year by USA Today in 1985. Before coming to Louisiana Tech, Hungate amassed a career coaching record of 275-35.
