DR. LES

GUICE UNIVERSITY PRESIDENT @LKGuice

On Nov. 22, 1975, Les Guice, the future president of Louisiana Tech University but at the time a Tech junior architecture major, put a metaphorical but very visible exclamation point on two of his life’s biggest loves.

First, he married to Kathy May, now his wife of 44 years, in south Arkansas.

Second, the very newly newlyweds immediately headed to Ruston to watch Louisiana Tech’s football team play Arkansas State. In the cold and rain.

Tech lost. Les and Kathy didn’t.

Several diplomas, three sons and three grandchildren later, they are still going strong and leading their alma mater to new heights.

Dr. Guice and Tech share a rich history together that spans five decades and has produced family ties that are deeply rooted in a passion for the Bulldogs and Lady Techsters.

From an architecture student stepping on the campus for the first time in 1972 to an appointment as Louisiana Tech’s 14th President in 2013, Guice has shown an unwavering commitment to leadership and service to his alma mater.

One of Guice’s first achievements at Tech was earning a bachelor of arts in architecture in 1976. Discovering a passion for engineering under the mentorship of professor Jack Painter, Guice went on to earn a master’s degree in civil engineering from Tech in 1978 and decided to pursue teaching and education as his profession.

His dedication to his students, his faculty and the University would lead to his appointment as dean of Tech’s College of Engineering and Science (COES) in 1999. As Dean, Guice continued to encourage and support innovations in the curricula. The College’s faculty became increasingly successful in securing external funding for the integrated curriculum which resulted in a transformative redesign of curricula throughout the College.

Guice’s leadership and vision also reinvigorated the Engineering and Science Foundation to more effectively serve the needs of the College. He initiated a new integrated strategic plan, known as “COES 2010,” and capital campaign, “Tech’s BEST,” that led

12

2019-20 LA TECH BASKETBALL GAMEDAY

to funding for an Eminent Scholar Chair, 15 Professorships, a $500k Scholarship Fund, and several new laboratories and facilities.

With a focus on the future and a progressive vision for economic development, Guice has led the planning and development of the Louisiana Tech Enterprise Campus, a research park connecting the University and downtown Ruston. Enterprise Campus’ first building, Tech Pointe, was completed in 2012 and is now home for several companies and organizations; another building to house emerging companies is already needed.

Because of a revitalized relationship between the City of Ruston and the University, and thanks to the Ruston citizens and friends and supporters of Tech, the partnership has resulted in about $300 million in investments, private and public, during the past two years.

Much of that growth is due to Tech’s problemsolving, opportunity-seizing president.

As president, Guice is the chief executive officer of north Louisiana’s only Carnegie Foundation national research university and one of only two public universities from Louisiana recognized in the top tier of national universities

by U.S. News and World Report.

Throughout his career, Guice has contributed to and played a central role in creating the culture and vision for the future of Tech; he continues that commitment as president. His focus on campus-wide engagement and building and growing relationships, plus his leadership in forging a path toward advancement of the University’s academic and athletic programs, research and commercialization activities, and economic development efforts means that Louisiana Tech University’s best days are yet to come.

TOMMY

McCLELLAND DIRECTOR of ATHLETICS @TMcClelland

Since stepping on campus in July of 2013, the cornerstone of Louisiana Tech Director of Athletics Tommy McClelland’s leadership has been the philosophy of building champions on the playing fields, in the classrooms and in life.

While leading Louisiana Tech into the Conference USA era, McClelland has impacted the athletics department through fundraising, facility improvements, coaching hires and overall student-athlete development.

If the past six years are an indication, McClelland’s philosophy is paying dividends in Ruston.

In fact one could argue that since his arrival in Ruston, Louisiana Tech has seen its most impressive six-year run since the 1970s. Over the past six years, the University has seen postseason appearances by football, men’s basketball, women’s basketball, baseball, softball, golf and track and field.

During his time in Ruston, the Louisiana Tech programs have all taken strides forward on the playing fields, highlighted by: Football – the Bulldogs are one of just two teams nationally that have won a bowl game in each of the past five years, joining Wisconsin.

Tech is one of only two teams in Conference USA history to have won every specialty award (Houston), recording the feat over the last five seasons.

Men’s Basketball – the Bulldogs have won 20 or more games in six of the last seven seasons, posting a home mark of 106-10 during its last 116 home games (ninth best home winning percentage in that span of time) Tech won a pair of regular season conference titles during this stretch.

Women’s Basketball – Head coach Brooke Stoehr (a former Lady Techster) led the program to back-to-back Women’s National Invitation Tournament appearances in 2017 and 2018 and top four finishes in the C-USA regular season.

Baseball – Louisiana Tech has won 34-plus games for four straight seasons, the longest such streak since the 1980s while making its first NCAA Regional appearance in 30 years when the Bulldogs won 40-plus games and reached the Starkville Regional finals in 2016.

Softball – the Lady Techsters have recorded

14

2019-20 LA TECH BASKETBALL GAMEDAY

five straight 30-plus win seasons, including 45 victories in 2019 – the second most in program history. Tech won three Conference USA titles (2019 regular season; 2017 & 2019 tournament titles), earning a spot in the 2017 and 2019 NCAA Regionals.

Men’s Golf – the 2016 Bulldog golf team shocked everyone in route to capturing the Conference USA team title (its first since 1980) and clinching the program’s first ever appearance in the NCAA Regionals. Victor Lange became the first Bulldog to ever earn three straight strips to the NCAA Regionals.

Louisiana Tech was one of only seven FBS schools in the country to have 9-plus football wins, 20-plus MBB wins, 35-plus baseball wins and 35-plus softball wins (one of only two nonPower 5 teams to accomplish it: BYU) during the 2016-17 campaign.

That same season Tech also became only the second C-USA program to finish in the top 5 in football, women’s basketball, men’s basketball, baseball, softball and soccer in the same season in league’s history (East Carolina, 2012-13).

In 2015-16 Louisiana Tech joined Florida, Florida State, Ohio State and Ole Miss as the only five Football Bowl Subdivision schools to recorded 9-plus wins in football, 20-plus wins in men’s basketball and 40-plus wins in baseball.

It was also one of only 12 FBS programs to play in the postseason in each of those three sports, joining Florida, Connecticut, Florida State, Texas Tech, Texas A&M, Ohio State, Washington, Duke, Arizona, Utah and Miami (Fla.).

Pretty elite company.

Off the field, Louisiana Tech student-athletes have blossomed in the classroom as well.

During McClelland’s time in Ruston, 938 LA Tech student-athletes have been recognized on the Conference USA Commissioner’s Honor Roll, including a record 212 in 2018-19, while another 233 have earned the C-USA Academic Medal, including a record 60 in 2018-19.

Louisiana Tech senior soccer star Katie Sloan was named the 2016 CoSIDA Academic All-America of the Year for Division I Women’s Soccer, becoming the first student-athlete in LA Tech history to receive this prestigious honor. Sloan (2015, 2016) joined Jacie McClure (volleyball, 2017) and Taylor Stahly (women’s basketball, 2019) as CoSIDA Academic AllAmericans during McClelland’s time at Tech.

The University has also seen its athletic programs continue to earn high marks in both the NCAA’s annual Academic Progress Report

(APR) and Graduation Success Rate, ranking among the state and conference leaders in many of these marks.

Perhaps the most tangible sign of McClelland’s impact at Louisiana Tech are in facilities with the addition of the $23-plus million Davison Athletics Complex and the $18plus million press box and luxury suites at Joe Aillet Stadium. These two new facilities not only changed the landscape of football gameday in Ruston but also produce more than $1.2 million in additional revenue per year for LA Tech Athletics.

In addition to the new construction, the department has seen upgrades and renovations to many of its other athletic facilities, such as the addition of the $1.2 million Paul Millsap Vision presented by Community Trust Bank, a high definition video display board in the Thomas Assembly Center. The project also included a customized sound system for the Thomas Assembly Center and a video board control room, utilized for both football and basketball.

Louisiana Tech Athletics has also seen record numbers in private giving in each of the last five years, including a record $1.67 million in giving to the Louisiana Tech Athletics Club (LTAC) in 2018-19. Tech has also seen record numbers in most LTAC donors in the past three years, including a record of more than 1,800 this past year.

During the 2013-14 fiscal year, McClelland spearheaded the efforts in raising more than $10.8 million through both LTAC and Quest for Excellence; more than double any previous year in Tech Athletics history. Included in the record total were five, seven-figure gifts.

Louisiana Tech also made the announcement in the fall of 2015 that it partnered with Adidas

America, Inc. to establish a transformational 5-year exclusive agreement that outfits all 16 NCAA men’s and women’s programs in Adidas uniforms, apparel, footwear and equipment through the 2020-2021 athletics season.

Prior to coming to Ruston, McClelland made a national name for himself after quickly elevating to the athletics director position at age 26. He earned high praise from a number of high-profile experienced athletic administrators.

Prior to being named athletic director at McNeese State on March 19, 2008, McClelland served as interim athletic director and assistant athletic director of internal affairs at the university.

In his time at McNeese, McClelland and his staff had numerous success stories when it came to increased revenue streams and the overall game-day experience in Lake Charles. He raised more than $3 million in private donations, and he was instrumental in increasing corporate sponsorships to nearly $1 million, while securing new clients and multi-year sponsorships.

In addition, McClelland guided the resurgence in APR success in Lake Charles.

The number of athletic programs boasting the required APR score of 925 went from four in his first year to all 16 in his final year. The community service hours performed by the MSU studentathletes also tripled to more than 3,000 during his tenure.

McClelland earned his bachelor’s degree from Northwestern State in 2004 and completed his master’s degree in sports administration in 2005. He walked on with the Demons football team and eventually earned a scholarship; he also competed in the javelin for the NSU track and field team.

The native of Basile, Louisiana, served as a graduate assistant at Northwestern State in athletics and worked at the Southland Conference office as an administrative intern, assisting with championship events.

McClelland is also a 2012 graduate of the Executive Program of the Sports Management Institute and attended instruction at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill’s Kenan-Flagler Business School and the University of Southern California’s Marshall School of Business.

McClelland is married to the former Jessica Stokes of Garrison, Texas. They have two sons, Lawson (9) and Grayson (8).

ERIC

KONKOL HEAD COACH @CoachKonkol

When Eric Konkol was announced as the 18th head coach of Louisiana Tech Bulldog Basketball on May 18, 2015, he said during the introductory press conference that he wanted to continue the standard of excellence that the program had built.

And that he has.

Konkol wrapped up his fourth season at the helm of the Bulldogs in 2018-19, leading them to a 20-win season, the program’s 25th overall and the sixth in the last seven seasons.

It marked the third time under coach Konkol, making him the seventh coach in program history with three 20-win seasons.

Eight of those victories came against teams who also produced 20-win seasons, the most in a single season in program history.

One of those came in the season opener at Wichita State as the Bulldogs shocked the Shockers, handing them only their fourth loss in their last 76 games at home. LA Tech was nearly perfect at home, going 15-1 which tied for the third most home wins in a single season in program history.

Konkol’s third season in 2017-18 produced a winning season and was highlighted by winning the 10th annual Cancun Challenge championship in Mexico as well as the inaugural New Orleans Shootout.

He also picked up career win No. 50 along the way. It took him only 70 games to reach that milestone which was the fastest by a LA Tech head coach in program history.

His first two seasons he helped produce back-to-back 23-win seasons which was the most by a LA Tech head coach through his first two years at the helm. Despite being the second youngest team in the league, despite being picked seventh in the preseason poll and despite losing two seniors to seasonending injuries in the non-conference, LA Tech overcame all of that to finish second in Conference USA in 2016-17.

In 2015-16, the 23 victories for Konkol was the most in program history by a first-year head coach. As a result, he was named a finalist for the 2016 Joe B. Hall Award which is presented annually to the top first-year coach in Division I college basketball.

The Bulldogs had several highlight wins

18

2019-20 LA TECH BASKETBALL GAMEDAY

during the year, defeating eight teams who advanced to the postseason (most since 1989).

Of those was a win in non-conference play at Ohio State, the program’s first over a Big Ten school in 30 years.

The `Dogs, led by C-USA Player of the Year and honorable mention Associated Press All-American Alex Hamilton, were picked preseason to finish fifth but ended up in a tie for third in the league to help earn the program’s fourth straight postseason appearance which came in the inaugural Vegas16 Tournament.

Hamilton is one of six Bulldogs that have received postseason honors under Konkol.

Erik McCree and Jacobi Boykins are both twotime All-Conference USA selections and three players have been named to the All-Freshman Team, including DaQuan Bracey who also earned C-USA Freshman of the Year honors, becoming just the fourth Bulldog in program history to do so.

Konkol came to Ruston having spent the previous four seasons on the staff of Miami’s head coach Jim Larranaga. Prior to that, he was with Larranaga for seven years at George Mason assisting in all aspects including recruiting, practices, individual player workouts and game preparation.

Known as the team’s offensive coordinator, he aided the 2014-15 Hurricanes team to a 25-13 record, the second most wins in program history, and an appearance in the National Invitation Tournament Championship game.

Miami snapped two impressive winning streaks along the way, defeating eventual national champion Duke, 90-74, at Cameron Indoor Stadium, ending the Blue Devils’ 41game home winning streak which was the longest active streak in Division I at the time.

The Canes also defeated then-No. 8/7 Florida in a non-conference battle which snapped the Gators’ 33-game home winning streak was the third longest in the country.

In his third season at Miami, Konkol and the Canes returned no starters from the previous season, but the team still posted its seventh-straight winning season with a 1716 overall record while ranking No. 2 in field goal defense and No. 3 in scoring defense in the ACC, good enough for No. 11 and No. 39 nationally.

The program saw several firsts in his second season, including the Canes ACC regular season and tournament championships, a No. 2 ranking in the national polls and 29 total victories with 15 league wins. Miami matched program bests in earning a No. 2 seed in the

NCAA Tournament and playing in the Sweet 16.

Konkol helped lead Miami that season to four 20+ point wins over ACC opponents, including a 27-point rout of No. 1 Duke and a 26-point victory against North Carolina. Miami was the first team to beat Duke and UNC by 25+ points since the start of ACC play in 1953 and the Canes defeated three teams in the Top 20 for the first time since joining the ACC in 2004-05.

Konkol worked daily with ACC and Lute Olson National Player of the Year and AllAmerican Shane Larkin, who left UM after his sophomore season to enter the 2013 NBA Draft. Larkin was a finalist for the Bob Cousy, Naismith and John R. Wooden awards and named the ACC tournament MVP. Konkol also improved the games of ACC Defensive Player of the Year Durand Scott and All-ACC performer Kenny Kadji, as well as ACC All-tournament players Julian Gamble and Trey McKinney Jones.

All six seniors on the Sweet 16 team earned academic degrees from the University of Miami and one player was listed on the AllACC Academic Team.

In Konkol’s first year in Coral Gables, UM teetered on the edge of The Dance bubble, then went 1-1 in the ACC Tournament and ended up in the NIT, defeating Valparaiso, but falling to Minnesota, the eventual NIT Championship runner-up.

Konkol previously worked from 2002 through 2005 and 2007 through 2011 at George Mason with Larranaga. In the interim, he spent two years coaching at national power Hopkins High School in Minnesota under Ken Novak, Jr. - who was named 2011 ESPN RISE National Boy’s Basketball Coach of the Year and had a short stint on the coaching staff at North Dakota State.

He helped guide the Patriots to fourstraight postseason appearances for the first time in Mason history - including NCAA berths in 2008 and 2011. In 2011, the team defeated DUFFY

CONROY ASSISTANT COACH @DuffyConroy

TALVIN

HESTER ASSISTANT COACH @CoachTHester

Villanova to advance to the third round of the NCAA Tournament, earned a regular season CAA title and posted a school record-tying 27 wins.

In addition, Konkol was responsible for coordinating Mason’s schedule, which was pivotal to the Patriots earning just their second at-large bid to the NCAA Tournament in 2011 and just the fifth at-large invitation for a CAA squad.

He served as Mason’s scouting director from 2002-05 and helped recruit the top nonBCS recruiting class in 2009 according to ESPN.com. Additionally, he monitored the academic progress of the men’s basketball student-athletes, graduating 20 of 22 studentathletes who completed their eligibility - with two more students set to graduate in May 2011. In both 2009 and 2010, the program was recognized by the NCAA with an Academic Progress Rate in the nation’s top 10 percent.

Konkol previously worked on Buzz Peterson’s staff as a student assistant for NIT champion Tulsa in 2000-01 and as a graduate administrative assistant at Tennessee in 2001-02, earning a master’s degree in sport management.

A native of Amherst, Wis., Konkol is a 2000 graduate of the University of Wisconsin at Eau Claire with a bachelor’s degree in kinesiology, with an emphasis in exercise management.

He played three seasons of basketball for the Division III program - advancing to the national championship game in 2000. He received the team’s Inspiration Award after his junior and senior seasons with the Blugolds, and was an honorary captain as a senior.

He spent his first two years, including one red-shirt season, at the University of Wisconsin at Platteville playing for current Wisconsin head coach Bo Ryan who led the Badgers to the NCAA Championship game in 2015.

Konkol and his wife, Meagan, have two sons, Ethan and Ryan.

BROOKE

STOEHR CO-HEAD COACH @BrookeStoehr

Brooke Stoehr knows the storied tradition of Lady Techster basketball.

She was a big part of that history as a player under legendary Hall of Fame head coach Leon Barmore during her four years in Ruston.

This fact combined with her already established track record of winning on the hardwood as a head coach led Louisiana Tech Athletics Director Tommy McClelland to name Stoehr the seventh head coach in Lady Techster basketball history in April of 2016.

Stoehr came back to her alma mater after four tremendously successful years at Northwestern State, where she guided the Lady Demons to three postseason tournaments, including a pair of NCAA Tournament appearances.

“I have a deep passion for this program and have a personal investment in it from my time here as a student athlete,” said Stoehr. “I take great pride and responsibility in leading this group of young women and helping move the Lady Techster program forward.”

“Brooke was the last point guard I ever coached at Louisiana Tech,” Barmore said.

“When things were tough and the game was on the line, I wanted Brooke to have the ball. To be honest with you, I’m glad she has the ball now. I love her, and I’m glad she is in charge of this program.”

With the ball in her court so-to-speak, Stoehr recorded back-to-back winning seasons during her first two years at the helm. After being picked to finish 12th in the 14-team Conference USA in the preseason coaches’ poll prior to 2016-17, Stoehr led the Lady Techsters to 18 wins, a fourth-place finish in the regular season standings and the program’s first national postseason berth since 2011 during her first year.

LA Tech won seven straight C-USA regular season games down the stretch, advanced to the semifinals of the league tournament before falling to tournament champion WKU and then took SMU to overtime in Dallas in the first round of the WNIT. She followed that up with a 19-12 record in 2017-18, a third place finish in the C-USA regular season and a second straight berth in

2019-20 LA TECH BASKETBALL GAMEDAY

the WNIT last year. It marked the most wins and the highest league finish since 2011-12.

The Techsters posted a win over Big Ten foe Penn State, its first over a P5 program since 2011-12. LA Tech also recorded a road win over eventual C-USA regular season champion UAB, and snapped the Rice Owl’s programrecord 15-game winning streak.

Off the court, the past three years have seen the Lady Techsters become very involved in the local community, volunteering countless hours of community service with a number of organizations, including DART, Buddy Ball, the Special Olympics, elementary schools.

The Lady Techsters continued to make strides in the classroom as well. Over the past three years 20 players were named to the Conference USA Commissioner’s Honor Roll.

Taylor Stahly became the first Techsters since joining the league in 2013 to earn a spot on the women’s basketball All-Academic Team, recording the honor in back-to-back seasons.

Stahly and Ashley Santos also both earned the C-USA Commissioners Academic Medal.

Stahly, who finished her academic career with a perfect 4.0 grade point average, was also named a Google Cloud Academic All-American in 2018-19, just the 16th such recipient of the highest academic honor in Louisiana Tech Athletics history.

Stoehr inherited a Northwestern State women’s basketball program that had won a total of six games the previous season. In four seasons, NSU compiled a record of 71-58 as the Lady Demons won back-to-back Southland Conference Tournament championships in 2014 and 2015. Those victories produced the first consecutive NCAA Tournament appearances in program history.

In her last season in Natchitoches, Northwestern State earned an appearance in the Women’s Basketball Invitational, extending its run of national postseason appearances to three.

Off the court, Stoehr demands just as much or more from her players and the numbers prove it. In the classroom, Northwestern State finished with the nation’s 16th-best cumulative GPA (3.461) in the 2014-15 season and had the fifth-highest among NCAA Tournament teams that season. The team GPA for the Fall 2015 semester was 3.48, trending NSU toward another high ranking nationally when the 201516 review is released this summer by the Women’s Basketball Coaches Association.

Each player who completed her athletic eligibility during the Stoehrs’ tenure earned a degree from Northwestern State.

“Brooke needs no introduction to Louisiana Tech University,” said Baylor head coach Kim Mulkey. “She is Lady Techster basketball! Her history with the program speaks volumes. She was loved as a Lady Techster player, and she will be loved as the head coach.”

In addition to her time at Northwestern State, Stoehr spent time as an assistant coach at Texas Tech (2009-12), Southern Mississippi (2008-09), LA Tech (2005-08) and UALR (200305).

Stoehr played for the Lady Techsters from 1998 through 2002 and helped guide the program to four NCAA Tournament appearances, two Elite Eights and one Final Four. She ended her LA Tech career as the NCAA’s all-time leader in free throw percentage.

Brooke and husband Scott have a 9-yearold daughter, Aubrey, and a 7-year-old son, Cooper.
