n 16 collegiate coaching seasons, University of Memphis head coach John Calipari has led his teams to 15 postseason appearances. Calipari’s teams have appeared in the NCAA Tournament 10 times, advancing to the National Championship in 2008, Final Four in 1996 and Elite Eight in 1995, 2006 and 2007. Five other squads have appeared in the NIT, including Memphis’ 2002 NIT championship squad. Through 16 collegiate seasons, only one coach in the history of the NCAA has won more games. However, Calipari’s success on the basketball court has been a microcosm to what he has meant to the U of M and the Memphis community. Recently, the Calipari Family Foundation for Children was created to increase efforts in support of local children’s charities and community projects. Through the Calipari Family Foundation, organizations like the Y.E.S. Foundation, Streets Ministries and many others will benefit. Calipari’s latest brainchild for the foundation is a speaker series called “An Evening with Coach Cal & Friends.” The series — that will run from October 2008 through April 2009 — is a community outreach vehicle bringing individuals that have acheived extraordinary success in athletics directly to the Memphis area community. One of the primary goals of the event is to allow its sponsors and guests to have a “voice in the community” as it brings together hundreds of area business leaders around a common goal. Proceeds from the event will be used to support The Calipari Family Foundation for Children. The speakers for the 2008-09 series are Terry Bradshaw, Dick Vitale, George Foreman and Dr. Bob Rotella. Giving back to the community, though, is nothing new for Calipari and his family. It has been a constant for Calipari since his arrival in the Bluff City in 2000. Early in his tenure at the U of M, Calipari began developing a relationship with Memphis-based FedEx. The overnight courier has employed Memphis student-athletes in its internship program during the past six summers. It is a program where the Tigers gain valuable experience in an area related to their field of study. Calipari has also founded a program called NetWorks. The program brings together business leaders from throughout the community to network, find employment opportunities and place former U of M players following their playing careers. Calipari has made several financial contributions to the University and has been honored by the Friends of the Ned McWherter Library on the U of M campus. He presented the U of M a check for $40,000 which resulted from a partnership between Calipari and Pace Cooper, president and CEO of Cooper Companies, the owner of the restaurant, Cal’s Championship Steakhouse in the Doubletree Hotel Memphis. In the spring of 2004, Calipari and his family donated $100,000 to help endow athletic scholarships at the university. At the conclusion of his first season at Memphis, Calipari joined several area business leaders to form the Y.E.S. Foundation, an organization designed to educate middle school students about the importance of academics and athletics. Y.E.S., an acronym for Youth Education Through Sports, held its first camp on the U of M campus in August of 2001. Over 25 schools are currently taking part in the program. Calipari has also been responsible for raising money and making donations for improvements at the U of M’s tennis complex, air conditioning in the Elma Roane Fieldhouse and having courts resurfaced for use by Memphis students for outdoor basketball.
Members of the Memphis basketball took time out in the middle of 2008 March Madness to visit children at Le Bonheur Children’s Medical Center.

MEMPHIS CITY MAYOR
SHELBY COUNTY MAYOR
“University of Memphis basketball and Coach John Calipari provide so much for our community. Not only are they a major source of sports excitement and fulfillment for Memphis sports fans, but also their efforts in improving the community and changing lives are a great statement to what Coach Calipari and Tiger basketball are all about.”
“Tiger basketball always has been a focal point of community support and unity in Memphis, and Coach Calipari has played a vital role in helping to spread that community spirit beyond the basketball court. He reminds people why they are fans and what it means to be a Memphis Tiger.”
DAVID J. BRONCZEK
GARY SHORB
HAROLD FORD, JR.
FORMER UNITED STATES CONGRESSMAN DEMOCRATIC LEADERSHIP COUNCIL CHAIRMAN “The University of Memphis basketball program is what college basketball is all about — big-time competition within a close-knit community of fans and group of supporters. Coach Calipari, his staff and these student-athletes are taking the proud tradition of Tiger basketball to new levels within the community and on the hardwood.”
ALLIE PRESCOTT
PRESIDENT AND CEO FEDEX
PRES. AND CEO METHODIST HEALTHCARE
FORMER CHAIRMAN OF YES FOUNDATION
“The University of Memphis is very important to Memphis and very important to FedEx. Coach Calipari and his team are a great rallying point and unifying force in our community. Their performances on a national stage and their unselfish work in our community have been a source of pride for everyone who lives and works in our city.”
“John Calipari has been an addition that Memphis and the University of Memphis needed. He is an outstanding leader — giving his time, energy and commitment to making the basketball program a national contender and Memphis a city that we can all be proud of. He has worked hard to help the children at LeBonheur since his arrival, and for that we are extremely grateful.”
“Coach John Calipari’s vision led to the birth of the Y.E.S. Foundation, a program working with approximately 100 boys and girls basketball players from middle schools on the low performing list. These student athletes look up to Coach Cal and he is the ultimate inspiration, which makes this program such a success. Everyone in our city knows that our future depends on the success of the children, and Coach Cal and his foundation are having an impact on the lives of these kids every single day.”
KEVIN KANE
PRESIDENT MEMPHIS CONVENTION AND VISITORS BUREAU “Since his arrival in Memphis, John Calipari has become not only an ambassador for the University of Memphis and its basketball program, but also an ambassador for our city as well. He has embraced the community and helped place a national spotlight on everything that is great about Memphis, Tennessee.”

“Coach Calipari builds more than basketball programs, he builds lives. John Calipari epitomizes the spirit of love and giving in sharing his time, talent and treasure with children throughout the greater Memphis community, particularly among the needy and disadvantaged in underserved areas of our city. We in the Catholic Schools are grateful to Coach Calipari for his selfless dedication to education and his commitment to strengthening family and community life in Memphis.”
“Through the Y.E.S. Foundation and the Memphis Basketball Initiative, Coach Cal has leveraged his influence to make a radical difference in the quality of life of our kids here at STREETS Ministries. His passion and effort for empowering the underprivileged in our community is unequalled.”

he University of Memphis’ Center for Athletic Academic Services (CAAS) is dedicated to the academic and personal development of all Tiger student-athletes. Its mission is to provide support services to ensure that U of M student-athletes succeed in the classroom and obtain undergraduate degrees. The services include orientation programs, tutoring, mentoring, DR. JOSEPH LUCKEY academic counseling, study hall DIRECTOR and academic advising. In March 2002, vast improvements were beginning to take place in the CAAS. At that time, Dr. Joe Luckey took over the staff after spending the previous 10 years at Austin Peay State. Dr. Luckey, who was nationally recognized for his outstanding leadership in 1999, came to Memphis with a vision. In just one short year, Dr. Luckey recruited six new staff members, instituted new academic programs, designed and inspired two special sections of ACAD 1100 for student-athletes and transitioned the office from the basement of the Elma Roane Fieldhouse to the newly-renovated Wilder Tower. Dr. Luckey heads a full-time staff of eight, while also utilizing 20-30 tutors, two academic in-terns, graduate assistants and student workers. CAAS has a unique responsibility as an office as it provides academic services to all studentathletes and conducts all necessary paperwork for NCAA academic compliance. Assistant director Kelley Bickham, who was hired May 2007, was brought in specifically to handle NCAA, conference and institutional compliance matters associated with prospective and current student-athletes. The five academic counselors are assigned to specific sports working closely with those student-athletes and coaching staffs. Dr. Luckey has continued to challenge the Center’s staff, the coaching staffs and the student-athletes to collaboratively enhance the academic performance of U of M student-athletes. As the following highlights indicate, the group effort has resulted in positive results for the university. During the last six academic years, 14 teams have posted their highest-ever semester GPAs, a record number of studentathletes made the C-USA Commissioner’s Honor Roll and the Tiger 3.0 Club and several individual student-athletes have been recognized for prestigious academic awards, such as the NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship and Academic All-America. The CAAS received a new home during the summer of 2003 with the completion of the Wilder Tower. The Wilder Tower also houses admissions, the bursar, financial aid, the registrar, student development and academic advising. A total of 8,000 square feet, encompassing the entire sixth and seventh floors of the tower, have been designated for the CAAS. The area supports 21 student computer stations, 17 offices and numerous study tables. Inspired by Dr. Luckey, two special sections of ACAD 1100, Introduction to the University, were offered to studentathletes only. The class was so well received that a third section was offered in 2003 so that all freshman student-athletes could be included in the course. Students who participated in the class earned an average of 15.2 credit hours and an average GPA of 3.25. In its commitment to the overall development of the student-athlete, a fourth section will be instituted fall, 2008.

Four academic awards are sponsored by the CAAS as a means of honoring the top student-athletes. The Tiger 3.0 Club recognizes student-athletes who earned grade-point averages of 3.0 during the fall/spring semesters, while the Tiger Academic Thirty is dedicated to the 30 student-athletes with the best gradepoint average on each team and then the next best group of student-athletes,
totaling 30. The final honor, the TEAM GPA Award, is presented to the male and female team with the best grade point average for the semester. The fourth and newest award, CAAS Academic Achievement Award, is presented to the studentathlete(s) who has overcome personal hardship but has still worked hard in the classroom.

FEDEXFORUM
T
here’s never been a better time to be a Tiger fan. Eightstraight 20-win seasons. Eight-consecutive postseason tournament berths, including a trip to the National Championship and back-to-back Elite Eight appearances. A roster that features some of the nation’s best collegiate talent. And to top it off, Memphis fans are able to watch their beloved Tigers in the one of the country’s best arenas, FedExForum. The 2008-09 college basketball season will be the team’s fifth season in FedExForum, the $250 million state-of-the-art arena that has the nation talking. When fans come to a game at FedExForum, the excitement begins even before they enter the front doors. FedExForum features a 35,000 square-foot outdoor plaza where all fans enter the building. The plaza serves as Memphis’ front porch, a gathering area for fans of all ages. Once in FedExForum, fans are treated to an experience that is unparalleled in the college basketball game. In the arena, there are five levels with wide concourses, making navigating the building easy. There are over 100 points of sale for concession stands, meaning shorter lines. There are four full-service restaurants, with three offering service to Premium Seat Holders — Opus, a fine dining restaurant overlooking the court; Blue Note Lounge, where fans can get a cocktail and a light meal before or during the game; and the Lexus Lounge. The fourth restaurant, which is open to all fans just off the Grand Lobby, is Jack Daniel’s Old No. 7 Sports Bar, a fun pregame meeting place with patio seating. All of the food in FedExForum is offered by Levy Restaurants, the leader in sports and entertainment venue dining and fans will experience selection and quality beyond anything they’ve ever had at a sporting event. Memphis favorites such as Neely’s Barbecue and
THE UNIVERSITY OF MEMPHIS
D’Bos chicken wings will be available, and fans will also be able to satisfy their appetites with sushi, paninis, po’ boys and just about anything else they could possibly want. Once in their seats, the first thing fans will notice is the massive video board. Designed by Daktronics, the center-hung scoreboard is the focal point of the system, providing fans with live video, instant replays and information on 10 large digital full-color displays, including four dedicated scoring sections. The scoreboard is one of the biggest in the country, measuring approximately 22 feet high by 38 feet in diameter. The unique design of the main center-hung scoreboard includes two 36-degree full-color rings of LED on the top and bottom of the scoreboard. Four additional video displays, in vertical configuration, flank the main video screens and dedicated scoring sections. To complement the center-hung video and scoring displays, additional LED displays are prominently featured around the seating bowl. These ProAd® digital displays are used for a variety of purposes, including presenting exciting animations and graphics, statistics, scores and stats from other games, and interactive promotional messages from the team and its sponsors. One 360-degree ring of light encircles the entire seating bowl, mounted on the Terrace Level fascia. A second large display curves 270 degrees around the Club Level fascia. Before, during and after games, Tiger fans can buy the latest merchandise and U of M gear in the team store, located in the Grand Lobby and at several boutique stores throughout FedExForum. The store is also open from 9 a.m.

- 3 p.m. Monday through Friday and 10 a.m. - 4 p.m. on Sunday, or can be reached by phone at 901-205-1551. A unique feature of FedExForum is the music theme that is prevalent throughout. Luxury suite holders will notice their names engraved on a record outside their suite, and lyric sheets from famous Memphis songs appear prominently on the walls. Concessions and restaurants are named with uniquely Memphis music themes and areas of the arena concourses are divided into sponsored zones highlighting musical genres like Rock ‘n’ Roll, the Blues, Gospel, Memphis Music Today and more. FedExForum is also home to the Rock ‘n’ Soul Museum on the ground floor of the administration building. The Rock ‘n’ Soul Museum traces the roots of rock and roll and soul music in Memphis, offering visitors a self-guided tour of Memphis music from the early 20th century in the ‘70s. The Rock ‘n’ Soul Museum is one of only two Smithsonian Institution exhibits not located in Washington, D.C. Along with the Grizzlies’ locker room on the Event Level, the Tigers also have a state-ofthe-art locker room facility just off the playing floor. The area has players and coaches locker rooms, a training room, video room and players lounge. The locker room is one of the best facilities in the nation. FedExForum is setting a new standard for college arenas, and it’s all happening in Memphis. There has truly never been a better time to be a Tigers fan.

THE LARRY O.
FINCH CENTER
A
way from college basketball’s top arena, FedExForum, the Tigers have a world-class practice facility in the Larry O. Finch Recreational Facility located on the University of Memphis campus. The 31,000-square-foot center cost $3.2 million. It features a regulation court which runs east to west. With the removal of portable goals, the building can be divided into two north-south courts for intramural play. Besides the courts, the building features every amenity the Tigers could desire. Within a week of John Calipari’s hire at the U of M, the center’s weight room was equipped with $50,000 of state-of-the-art weight and cardiovascular equipment through a generous donation from Memphis businessmen Richard Mercer, Harry Phillips and George Sneed. With the renovations done in the summer of 2004, the weight room was moved courtside where players can work out just off the practice courts. The players lounge now occupies what was once the weight room, giving the Tiger players and coaches a spacious area to hold team functions. The lounge area features a big screen television, a ping-pong table and a pool table, along with several couches and recliners on which players and coaches can “lounge.” Built into the main entrance to the lounge area are open lockers featuring uniforms and mementoes from former Tigers in the NBA. The locker room has individual wood lockers along three walls. Adjacent to the locker room is a video room where players and coaches can watch game tape in preparation for upcoming games. Additional training equipment has been added to the weight room on a yearly basis. The center’s fully-equipped training room includes heat packs, electrical stimulation units, ultrasound, whirlpools, three treatment and two
taping tables as well as a separate doctor’s examination room. Also, the classroom which overlooks the court has been transformed into a dining area for post-practice meals for the team. The facility continues to take shape as the 2008-09 season begins. An brick archway entrance was added to the front of the facility in the summer of 2008. It is the first step in establishing the Memphis Basketball Walk of Fame. The on-going project is turning the Finch Center’s entrance area into a Memphis basketball museum, which will chronicle the Tigers’ glorious basketball history. The Larry O’ Finch Center was dedicated Feb. 24, 2000. In Finch’s three years as a player
at Memphis, the Tigers recorded a 63-21 record and either won or tied for two Missouri Valley Conference championships. He scored 1,869 career points and averaged 26.8 points in the 1973 NCAA Tournament when the Tigers advanced to the championship game. Finch was named All-America honorable mention by both the Associated Press and UPI and was the 1972 Missouri Valley Conference Player of the Year. As a coach, Finch is the all-time winningest coach in Tiger history, posting a 220-130 record in 11 seasons. Under his leadership the U of M advanced to the NCAA Tournament six times, including the Elite Eight in 1992 and the Sweet 16 in 1995.

he University of Memphis athletic training staff is second-to-none when it comes to ensuring that U of M student-athletes receive quality care in the areas of athletic injury, rehabilitation and preventative care. With the renovation of the Murphy Athletic Complex training facility along with the Larry O. Finch Center training room, Memphis studentathletes can be assured of receiving the best medical attention and rehabilitation available. The Murphy Athletic Complex training room was redesigned and reconstructed as part of the $6 million renovation of the Park Avenue Campus in 2003. The new training facility, which more than doubles the size of the old training room, contains an in-ground aquatic rehabilitation pool, allowing trainers to work on rehabilitating injuries without having the student-athlete support his/ her own body weight. The training room also contains new doctor examination rooms, storage areas and the latest in rehabilitation equipment. The athletic training staff uses a comprehensive approach to the injury care and wellness of student-athletes by utilizing state-ofthe-art diagnostic and treatment equipment with the latest methods in the care and prevention of injuries. Amos Mansfield is in his fourth year as head athletic trainer. Mansfield spent four years at Southern Miss as an assistant trainer and was the primary trainer for men’s basketball, while also assisting with football. He has two full-time certified athletic trainers, two graduate assistants and 18 student trainers. Chris Simmons is in his third year as the trainer for men’s basketball. He makes a return to the university where he earned his bachelor’s degree in Exercise and Sport Science in 2002. Simmons came to Memphis after working as the head trainer for the Arkansas RimRockers of the NBDL. Natasha Platt is in her fifth year as an assistant trainer for women’s athletics. Platt was a student trainer at Memphis from 1998-2000 and earned her degree from the university in 2000. The athletic training staff is surrounded by

Dr. Allen Sills serves as the team’s neurosurgeon. Tiger student-athletes are fortunate to have the two largest privately-owned hospital systems in the world located in Memphis. Baptist Hospital and Methodist Hospital offer the finest in healthcare to area residents and handle the care of Memphis student-athletes. The athletic training staff is one support group that the athletic teams cannot do without. They are responsible for staffing all practices and games as well as handling the day-to-day rehabilitation of injured or post-surgery student-athletes. The goal of the sports medicine department is not only to care for the injuries, but also to assist the student-athletes in preventing injuries from occurring.

n 2000, the Larry O. Finch Basketball Training Facility opened for Tiger basketball, and with it, gave the University of Memphis basketball program one of the top practice facilities in the nation. Along with practices courts and other student-athlete amenities, the Tiger basketball players have a state-ofthe-art weight room in which to work. Richard Hogans, a former Memphis football standout who also played in the NFL, is the Director of Performance Enhancement and works directly with the men’s basketball team. Hogans has worked with a number of All-Pro athletes such as the St. Louis Rams’ Isaac Bruce, New York Knicks’ Penny Hardaway and heavyweight boxing champion Michael Moorer. The weight room is located beside the practice courts, allowing players to move easily from one area to another during practice or strength and conditioning exercises. Within a week of John Calipari taking over the Memphis program, the weight room was supplied with $50,000 weight and cardiovascular equipment through the generous donation from Memphis businessmen Richard Mercer, Harry Phillips and George Sneed. Since he was hired in the summer of 2004, Hogans has continually kept the Tiger basketball weight room updated with cutting-edge equipment.
WEIGHT ROOM HIGHLIGHTS Hogans and the Tiger program has adopted a motto as “B.I.A. - Best in America,” showing what student-athletes should always strive for. Under this B.I.A. motto, the players are taking on a W.I.T. - Whatever It Takes - mentality. Speed-Strength Philosophy: As performance enhancement specialists, the goal is not to make the student-athletes into professional weightlifters, but ensure they are physically prepared for the high demands of competitive athletics. In order to give the players an edge, a program has been developed that integrates the four key aspects needed to increase speed and quickness, explosiveness, power, muscular endurance and aerobic capacity. The four key aspects are strength training, speed training, agility training and plyometic training.

The Tiger basketball players go through three different phases of training throughout the year. The phases are preparatory, competitive in-season and transitional. The foundation for the student-athletes is set in the transitional phase which starts in the spring and continues up to the preparatory phase. The transitional and preparatory phases are vital for the players’ development because strength, speed and lean mass gains are necessities during this time period. During the latter part of the preparatory phase, the student-athletes are transitioned into specific training methodologies, where all the training is put together and tied into the specific sport. The workouts during the early phases constantly change week-to-week, with the exception of the core exercises. This type of protocol creates an environment where change in muscle tone and growth is inevitable due primarily to the fact that the student-athletes’ are not used to the workouts. This, in turn, creates muscle breakdown that results in muscle growth with adequate recovery and supplementation. Also the constant change in the routine keeps the workouts from becoming stale and boring.

WHY TIGERS?
When the University of Memphis first fielded a football team in the fall of 1912, no one had selected a nickname for the squad. Early references to the football team tabbed them only as the Blue and Gray Warriors of West Tennessee Normal School. After the final game of the 1914 season, there was a student parade. During this event, several Normal students shouted, “We fight like Tigers.” The nickname was born. More and more the nickname “Tigers” was used, particularly in campus publications. But it did not catch on with the newspapers downtown. They continued to use “Normals” or the “Blue and Gray” when referring to the University. Under Coach Lester Barnard in 1922, Normal’s football team gave a ring of truth to that old student yell about Tigers. The team adopted a motto – “Every Man a Tiger” – and went on to score 174 points while allowing its opponents just 29 points. In the late 1920s, student publications and downtown newspapers began referring to the football team as the “Teachers” or “Tutors.” The Tiger nickname would return, but not until 1939 was it finally adopted as the official nickname for the University of Memphis.
A BENGAL FOR A MASCOT
For over 30 years, the sideline mascot for The University of Memphis has been the Bengal Tiger. TOM II, the current Tiger mascot, attends all Tiger football home games, and he can also be found at many other University events throughout the year as a powerful and majestic symbol of Tigers Athletics. TOM II travels in style in a custom-designed, climate-controlled trailer, always with police escort. The first Tiger, TOM, was procured by the Highland Hundred Football Boosters in 1972 and served the U of M faithfully for nearly 20 years until passing away in February of 1992. TOM came to the university on November 9, 1972, when the tiger cub was placed in a dog kennel in Michigan City, Ind., and put on a Memphis-bound flight via Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport. He arrived in Memphis at 3:00 a.m., and C. Cleveland Drennon, President of the Highland Hundred, approved a check for $1,500 to purchase the animal. That morning, TOM was taken to Athletic Director Billy Murphy’s office for a press conference. The Highland Hundred officially presented TOM to the University in a ceremony at Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium on November 11, 1972, during a football game against the University of Cincinnati. TOM had initially been named ‘Shane’ at the suggestion of the breeder’s daughter. Once in Memphis, though, a contest was held to name the mascot. More than 2,500 entries were submitted to a committee chaired by Judge Harry Pierotti, including colorful monikers like Spook, Sampson, Goliath, Bengo, Sultan, Sahib, Big Cat, Ptah, Touchdown, Sonny Shiloh, and even Bengie Wougie Bengal Boy from Tennessee. The list was ultimately reduced to two choices, Shane and TOM, which stands for Tigers Of Memphis. TOM won. During his first few months in Memphis, TOM was housed by Highland Hundred member Bill Proctor in his garage, which the Club had redecorated, and was closely guarded by Proctor’s hound dog. As TOM grew older, the decision was made by the Highland Hundred to keep the Tiger Tradition alive by securing a new Tiger to be raised as TOM II. In the fall of 1991, Highland Hundred President Ray Daniels and President-Elect Bobby Wharton received TOM II as a gift from Tom and Carolyn Atchison of Florence, Alabama. In 2005, TOM II moved to a new habitat in a rural area just south of Memphis on land offered by longtime Tiger fans Jeff and Mary Kuntz. The new facility was designed as a virtual copy of the original facility in Collierville, but includes many upgrades that improve TOM’s comfort and safety. As one of only two universities in America with a live Tiger mascot, the University of Memphis is unique in its Tiger Tradition.
SCHOOL COLORS
The University of Memphis’ official school colors of Blue and Gray were selected in the early 1900s. The colors were chosen in an effort to show unity in a nation that was still recovering from the effects of the Civil War. The student body thought that by picking the colors of the North and the South, the school would show a togetherness among all students.
THE LOGO
The University of Memphis’ official logo was redesigned by Craig Thompson, from Disciple Design in Memphis, Tenn. The original logo was an MSU with a leaping tiger coming out from behind the letters. The new logo is an “M” with a leaping Tiger coming up over the center of the “M.”

CITY OF MEMPHIS
C
onsidered the “Home of the Blues” and the “Birthplace of Rock ‘n Roll,” the city of Memphis’ musical roots run deep. However, music is just a chapter in the history as well as the future of the city located in the heart of Mid-America. Memphis, named after the capital of ancient Egypt, boasts all the amenities you would expect in a city with over 1 million residents, while retaining the charm and down-to-earth feel of a small town. Downtown Memphis is in the midst of a building boom valued at $2.3 billion which is transforming the heart of the city. One of the most visible projects has been the construction of AutoZone Park, the downtown ballpark which is the home of the Memphis Redbirds, the St. Louis Cardinals’ Triple-A club. The 14,320-seat stadium includes 1,500 club seats, 48 luxury suites and is located at the corner of Third Street and Union Avenue across from the world-famous Peabody Hotel. The city’s newest downtown project is FedExForum, an entertainment arena that houses both the Memphis Grizzlies of the National Basketball Association and the University of Memphis men’s basketball team. The $250 million state-of-the-art arena features a 35,000-square-foot outdoor plaza where fans of all ages can gather before an event. The arena has over 100 points of sale for concession stands and four full-service restaurants. FedExForum is located one block south of Beale Street. Memphis’ musical roots can be traced to

Young musicians who have performed along Beale include Muddy Waters, Furry Lewis, Albert King, Bobby “Blue” Bland and B.B. King. Beale Street has rapidly become the entertainment center of Memphis and visitors and locals alike enjoy the food and music offered in the various nightclubs. From B.B.

R.C. JOHNSON - ATHLETIC DIRECTOR R.C. Johnson has worked 35 years in athletic administration. He was named the Director of Athletics at the University of Memphis on December 29, 1995. Johnson came aboard in February of 1996 and immediately set forth in bringing University of Memphis Tiger athletics into national prominence. Over the last 12-plus years, the dynamic administrator has structured one of the most successful coaching staffs in the history of Tiger athletics and continues to strive for athletic and academic excellence while recognizing the importance of building strong university and community ties. Since his arrival, Johnson has hired such highprofile coaches as former Clemson head football coach Tommy West, who has taken the Tigers to a bowl game in four of the last five seasons, and former New Jersey Nets and UMass head basketball coach John Calipari, who had his squad in the 2008 National Championship Game. In the last five years, six U of M coaches have earned Conference USA Coach of the Year honors, including Calipari, who earned the league’s top honor in both 2006 and 2008. Also in the last five years under Johnson, the Tigers have captured 11 C-USA championships in men’s basketball, men’s soccer, women’s soccer, women’s golf and men’s track. Calipari has led his Tigers to four regular-season titles (2004, 2006, 2007, 2008) and three C-USA Tournament championships (2006, 2007, 2008). Richie Grant led the men’s soccer program to a league championship in 2004, while Brooks Monaghan piloted the women’s soccer team to a C-USA title last fall. In the spring of 2007, Kevin Robinson earned CUSA Coach of the Year honors after leading the Tigers to an outdoor track championship. Johnson is currently spearheading his second major capital campaign which will benefit nearly every area of the Tiger Athletic Department. Included in the $12.9 million project is a new addition to the Athletic Office Building, the newly-completed softball complex, an approaching redesign of the Tiger baseball stadium, a golf practice facility, a renovation of the Finch Center men’s basketball practice facility and a Hall of Fame to honor Tiger athletes. Johnson’s first capital campaign was previously the largest fund-raising effort in the history of Memphis athletics. The $8 million campaign included a new 8,000-square-foot football and basketball office complex addition, a new basketball practice facility, which is still considered one of the
THE UNIVERSITY OF MEMPHIS
best in the country, and a complete renovation of the Murphy Athletic Complex. During his tenure, Johnson has created the Athletic Director’s Honor Roll, the Tiger Scholarship Fund Board of Directors and the Athletic Director’s Ambassador’s Club. The Ambassador’s Club, which started with two members in 1997, has reached an all-time high of 32 members under Johnson. A significant revenue source for Tiger Athletics, members of the Ambassador’s Club pledge to commit $500,000. In June 2007, Johnson inked a lucrative longterm contract extension with Learfield Sports, which enabled Tiger Sports Properties to retain the multimedia rights for Memphis Athletics through 2017. In addition, the terms of the new agreement allow for options to continue through the 2021-22 academic year. The Tigers signed on with Learfield Sports in 2001, granting the partner radio and television rights, athletic venue signage, game day promotions and sponsorships, as well as the official athletic department website. Terms for the contract call for the Tigers to receive a financial guarantee each year of the agreement and to participate in annual revenue sharing. A believer in academic excellence as well as athletic success and national prominence, Johnson leads a department that set a school record with 50 percent of its student-athletes achieving a 3.0 or higher during the fall 2007 semester. For the most recent academic year, which includes fall 2007 and spring 2008, 315 student-athletes earned at least a 3.0 GPA and 35 students excelled with a 4.0 GPA. Ten teams logged a semester average of 3.0 or higher for the 2007 fall semester, and the athletic department as a whole is represented by a 2.8 GPA for the entire year. In May 2008, 39 athletes earned their degrees, marking the largest group for one ceremony since 2002 when the athletic academic services department began keeping record. And, under Johnson’s guidance, Memphis boasts an 89
-27-
percent graduation rate of all student-athletes who complete their eligibility at the U of M. Before taking over Tiger Athletics, Johnson was responsible for directing a Temple program with more than 500 student-athletes in 20 men’s and women’s intercollegiate sports, including nationally-visible programs in men’s basketball and football. He was named Temple’s director of athletics on May 9, 1994, after serving nearly six years as director of athletics at Miami (Ohio) University. He had also previously led the department at Eastern Illinois from 1980-88, and was the associate athletic director at Northern Iowa from 1974-80. A former football coach himself, Johnson served as an assistant at Mankato State University from 1968-74. He coached at Youngstown State University during the 1967 and 1968 seasons after serving as an assistant coach at Northern Iowa (1965-67) and the University of Iowa (1963-65). An Ottawa, Ill., native, Johnson holds his bachelor’s degree in sociology from the University of Iowa in 1965 and earned his master’s degree in physical education from the University of Northern Iowa in 1967. Johnson is a member of the National Association of College Directors of Athletics and serves on the NCAA Leadership Council. A veteran administrator in Conference USA, Johnson sits on both the C-USA Bowl Committee and the league’s Finance Committee. His involvement in the Memphis community includes serving on the Memphis and Shelby County Sports Authority, and he most recently was invited to serve on the Mayor’s Stadium Committee which is charged with evaluating the feasibility of a new football stadium. In addition, he is a member of the University of Memphis President’s Council. Johnson and his wife, Melba, have three children: Jeff, P.A. and Michelle; five grandchildren and one great grandson.

2.5 milliOn
The Tigers drew over 350,000 in their 21 home dates in 2007-08. If that can be duplicated in 200809, Memphis would reach the 2.5 million mark for total attendance in the John Calipari era. Memphis has drawn 2.2 million in Calipari’s first eight seasons, and has been ranked among the top 20 in national attendance in seven of his eight years in the Bluff City. To place in perspective, the Tigers drew 1.9 million in the nine years prior to Calipari’s arrival, and all nine seasons were played in the 20,142-seat Pyramid. Calipari’s first four teams (2001-04) played at The Pyramid, while his last four squads hosted their home games at the 18,400-seat FedExForum.
1,041 dayS
With the Conference USA schedule released, the Tigers play their C-USA opener Jan. 7 at home versus Marshall. When that game tips off, it will be 1,041 days since Memphis lost a league game. The last time Memphis fell to a C-USA foe was Mar. 2, 2006, when the Tigers dropped an 80-74 decision at UAB. Memphis’ C-USA regular season win streak stands at 33 straight entering 2008-09. The Tigers’ overall C-USA win streak (including tournaments) is 42 straight. The Tigers have won three-straight CUSA regular season (13-1, 16-0, 16-0 records) and tournament titles.
1,000 x 2
Antonio Anderson and Robert Dozier both will reach the 1,000-point milestone for their careers in 2008-09. Entering the year, Anderson has 897 points and Dozier 903 points. When the duo reaches the plateau, the Tiger 1,000-point club will grow to 45 players. Also, when both reach the milestone, it will be the eighth time in Memphis history that two Tigers scored their 1,000th point in the same season. The last time it happened was the 2004-05 campaign when Rodney Carney and Anthony Rice did so. It will be the third time in the John Calipari era that this occurred as Marcus Moody and Kelly Wise did so in 2000-01.
1,000-750
In addition to being within reach of 1,000 points, Robert Dozier is closing in on 750 boards for his career. The 6-foot-9 forward enters 2008-09 with 684 career rebounds, and needs only two boards to jump into the Tigers’ all-time top-10 rebounding list.
John Calipari needs only two victories to become the all-time winningest coach in Tiger history. He enters 2008-09 with 219 wins, second to Larry Finch’s 220. His 75.2 overall win percentage is the second-highest among NCAA Division I active coaches with 10 years at the Division I level.
If he reaches 750 boards to go along with 1,000 points, Dozier would become only the seventh Tiger in school history to do so. Keith Lee (2,408 points/1,336 rebounds), Forest Arnold (1,854/1,109), Kelly Wise (1,487/1,075), Ronnie Robinson (1,150/1,066), David Vaughn (1,305/903) and Don Holcomb (1,118/870) are in that elite group.
408 +5 winS
John Calipari begins his 17th season as a collegiate head coach in 2008-09. Last year (Calipari’s 16th), he joined Roy Williams as the only two coaches in NCAA Division I history to win 400 or more games in their first 16 seasons. Well, Calipari enters 2008-09 already in the top five for most wins by an NCAA Division I coach is his first 17 years. Calipari is in the No. 5 spot with 408 wins, and needs only five victories to move into the No. 2 spot on that list.

Robert Dozier is just outside the Tiger top-10 for most rebounds with 684 boards. He needs only two rebounds to jump into the top 10. When he reaches 750 boards and 1,000 points, he will become only the seventh Memphis player to join that club. The last Tiger to do so was Kelly Wise.
trail Duke (261), Kansas (255), Florida (236) and Gonzaga (235) on that list. In terms of winning percentage this decade, the Tigers are sixth on that list. Memphis’ winning percentage is 74.3 and only trails Duke (.831), Kansas (.807), Gonzaga (.797), Florida (.761) and Utah State (.753).
219 +2 winS
John Calipari enters 2008-09 with the chance to become the Tigers’ all-time winningest head coach. Calipari has 219 wins in his Tiger tenure, and is one shy of Larry Finch’s 220 victories. Finch coached the Tigers from 1987-97.
133 - 126 - 104
The 2008-09 Tiger seniors — Antonio Anderson, Robert Dozier and Chance McGrady — will be looking to make NCAA and Memphis history in terms of wins in 2008-09. The trio enters the season with 104 victories, which is tied for the most wins for a three-year span in NCAA Division I history. The first record the 2008-09 Tiger seniors will be 2008-09 U

Memphis also returns only 44.1 percent of its assists. Memphis was in this similar position in the summer of 2006. From their 33-4 Elite Eight team in 200506, the Tigers returned 56 percent of their scoring, 57 percent of rebounding and 59 percent of assists. The 2006-07 Tigers posted another 33-4 mark and advanced to a second-straight Elite Eight.
4, Part I
Memphis welcomes the No. 4 recruiting class to the Bluff City, according to Rivals.com. The Tigers’ 2008 recruiting class includes Tyreke Evans, Angel Garcia, Roburt Sallie, Matt Simpkins and Wesley Witherspoon.
Antonio Anderson, the squad’s third-year captain, is looking for a fourth-straight season of 100 or more assists in 2008-09. If he reaches that goal, the senior will join an elite group that includes Alvin Wright, Andre Turner, Elliot Perry and Chris Garner. Anderson is also closing in on 1,000 points.
With another 30-win season, Chance McGrady and his fellow seniors Antonio Anderson and Robert Dozier will make school and NCAA history. If the Tigers win 30, they will become the winningest four-year class in NCAA history, breaking the current mark of 133 victories by Duke (1998-2001).
shooting for is the Memphis record for wins in a four-year span. Joey Dorsey, the lone 2007-08 senior, holds that Tiger record with 126 wins from 2005-08. The 126 wins are the 10th-most wins in a four-year period in NCAA Division I history.
75.2
The next mark the Tiger seniors will be going for is the NCAA Division I mark for wins in a four-year period. That record is 133 wins from 1998-2001 by Duke.
100 x 4
If he plays his usual steady floor game, Antonio Anderson will join an elite Tiger group in 200809. The senior has averaged 124 assists per season, and if he reaches the 100-dimes plateau this season, Anderson will be one of five Tigers to have 100 or more assists all four years. The others to have 100 or more assists all four years they wore the Blue and Gray were Alvin Wright, Andre Turner, Elliot Perry and Chris Garner. If Anderson were to reach 500 assists (needs 129 in 2008-09), the Lynn, Mass., native would become one of four players in Memphis hoops history to have 1,000 points and 500 dimes. The other three who pulled it off were Turner, Wright and Perry. U

John Calipari enters the 2008-09 season with a 75.2 overall winning percentage. His winning percentage is second among NCAA Division I active coaches that have coached at the Division I level for 10 seasons. Calipari trails only Roy Williams. On the NCAA Division I all-time winningest coaches by percentage (minimum 10 years at Division I level), Calipari is in the No. 14 spot. Only three active coaches are ranked among that list’s top 15, and they are Roy Williams at No. 3, Calipari at No. 14 and Mike Krzyzewski at No. 15.

Memphis and UCLA enter 2008-09 having been ranked in the Associated Press Top 25 poll for 58consecutive weeks, which is the current longest streak in the nation. The schools also are the only two that have been ranked each week of the Associated Press poll for the last three years.

In late August, the Tigers added C.J. Henry to this year’s class. Henry played the last three years in minor league baseball, but before he took his talents to the diamond, he was an Oklahoma All-State performer at Putnam City High School. Prior to his senior campaign, Henry was a top-80 recruit, but did not appear in rankings afterwards because of his lean to pursue a Major League Baseball career.
4, Part II
For the first time in modern Tiger basketball history (since WW II), a Tiger player will wear a different jersey number each of his four seasons. Chance McGrady is the player, and he wore No. 11 as a freshman, No. 55 as a sophomore, No. 31 as a junior and No. 10 as a senior.
trey x 3
At some time during the 2008-09 campaign, Antonio Anderson, Doneal Mack and Willie Kemp will appear in the top 10 on the Memphis all-time three-pointers made chart. Anderson is already in the No. 9 spot with 119 treys. Mack has 113 threepointers, while Kemp has 102 treys. When the trio makes the top 10, it will make seven players that have been coached by John Calipari. Other Calipari players on the list are Rodney Carney (No. 1), Anthony Rice (No. 2), Jeremy Hunt (No. 3) and Marcus Moody (No. 4). Anderson and Mack are tied (with four other Tigers) for the school single-game record with seven treys. Kemp hit six treys in a game on two occasions in his career. The six treys are tied for the eighth-most in a single game in Tiger history.

ounce Back: Overcoming Setbacks to Thrive in Business and in Life
It’s the title of head coach John Calipari’s book set for release in the fall of 2009. As the title states, the book offers insights into how to get started again after going through setbacks in business or in life. One, though, may ask how a successful coach as Calipari is can write about bouncing back? The answer: Calipari has lived it. After writing quite possibly the best reclamation story in collegiate basketball in his eight-year run at UMass from 1989-96, Calipari moved on to the NBA coaching ranks to take over the New Jersey Nets. In only his second season in 1997-98, he guided the Nets to the best turnaround from the previous year in the league and the NBA playoffs. Calipari’s fortunes, however, turned the other way in his third season with the Nets. After 20 games into that campaign, New Jersey parted ways with Calipari. Or, in Calipari’s own words, he got fired. A year later, Calipari received an assist from mentor and then Philadelphia 76er head coach Larry Brown to join his staff. Calipari got the helping hand he needed, and he used that lift to get his career back on track. After that one year in Philadelphia, the track led Calipari to the Bluff City to a basketball program at the University of Memphis that also needed a lift, a bounce back.
TIGERS DOWN TURN The University of Memphis has a proud basketball tradition, dating all the way back to the late 1950s. The Tigers played in the 1973 NCAA title game, advanced to the 1985 NCAA Final Four and had numerous All-America and all-conference caliber players. After postseason runs to the Elite Eight in 1992 and Sweet 16 in 1995, even the most fervant Tiger supporters admitted the Memphis program was on a downward spiral. Following a 20-win campaign and an NCAA Tourmament appearance in 1995-96, the Tigers’ nose-dived over the next four seasons. In that four-year span, the most victories the Tigers had in a single season was 17 wins in 1997-98. Memphis, a program that based its success on NCAA Tournaments, made consecutive NIT appearances in 1997 and 1998. The final two years (1998-99, 19992000) of the four-season stretch, Memphis took another step back with consecutive losing campaigns. It was the first time Tiger Nation had seen losing records in back-to-back seasons in nearly 20 years. And the outlook for the future was not promising. The Tigers needed someone or something to infuse the program with new energy.
CALIPARI ARRIVES When Memphis looked for a head coach, it was searched for one to lead its once nationally-prominent program back among the country’s basketball elite. Enter Calipari, and the coach who was looking for his bounce back took over a collegiate basketball program that needed one as well. The Tigers woes were deeper than wins and losses when Calipari swept into Memphis in the spring of 2000. The graduation rate was zero. The Larry O. Finch Center, the Tigers’ on-campus practice facility,

had just opened but lacked many necessities for the national program Calipari envisioned. But, more than all of that, the fan base had not only lost interest, but also faith in the Tiger program. The attendance numbers showed the dwindling interest in the program. When Memphis opened The Pyramid in 1991-92, the Tigers ranked eighth in the nation in attendance with an average of over 16,000 fans per game. During the four-year span prior to Calipari’s arrival, Memphis’ average attendance dropped to under 13,000.
TIGERS ON THE UPSWING Well, entering the ninth year of the Calipari era in 2008-09, both the head coach and the Tiger basketball program have not only bounced back in a strong fashion, but both bounces are still on the upswing. The Memphis basketball program is in the best shape in its history. The Tigers are winning, its student-athletes are graduating, facilities are being upgraded and recruiting rolls on year after year. When Calipari took over at the start of the decade, Memphis’ winning ways had tapered off from the 1980s and early 1990s. The four years before Calipari, the Tigers averaged just over 15 wins per season. What a change occurred when the Moon, Pa., native came to Memphis. In his eight years, the Tigers have won 20 or more games each season, including over 30 victories the last three campaigns. In fact, Memphis is the fifth-winningest program in the decade of the 2000s with 234 wins, and trails only Duke (261 wins), Kansas (255), Florida (236) and Gonzaga (235) on that list. The Tigers advanced to the postseason in each of Calipari’s eight seasons with five NCAA Tournament berths and three National Invitation Tournament 2008-09 U

(NIT) bids. All three NIT appearances resulted in the Tigers advancing to the semifinals at Madison Square Garden in 2001, 2002 and 2005, with Memphis taking home the title in 2002. After a seven-year NCAA drought, Memphis returned to the “Big Dance” in 2003, but fell to Arizona State in the first round. It was the only time a Calipari-coached team lost its opening game in the NCAA Tournament. The following season, the Tigers earned another NCAA Tournament bid and advanced to the second round before losing to Final Four participant Oklahoma State. Despite the 20-win seasons and NCAA postseason bids, the Tiger program and its fans were hungry for more.
“WHAT A RIDE!”
Calipari’s first five seasons produced 20-win ledgers — in fact, the Tigers averaged 23 wins from 2001-05 — and postseason success that put the Memphis basketball program back in the national conscience. But, it paled in comparison to what the Tigers did the last three years under Calipari. The Memphis basketball program not only moved into the nation’s elite during the last three years, it became a member of college basketball royalty. Since 2005-06, Calipari and the Tigers have taken their fans on a ride into the NCAA record books. Memphis won 104 games the last three years, tying Kentucky (1996-98) for the most victories in a threeyear span in NCAA Division I history. The Tigers also enter 2008-09 with the four-year wins mark in sight, as Duke had 133 victories from 1998-2001. The Tigers’ last two senior classes set the school record for most wins in a four-year span. The 200607 seniors tied the 111-win mark set by the 1985-86 U

If fans thought the previous two years were exciting, Calipari and his Tigers upped the ante in 2007-08. Memphis had one of those seasons for the proverbial ages, and the numbers and accomplishments proved it: • Had an NCAA Division I single-season record 38 wins (38-2 mark). • Advanced to the NCAA Tournament title game, the program’s first since 1973. • Earned a trip to the NCAA Tournament Final Four, the program’s first since 1985. • Won the Conference USA regular season and tournament titles for a third-straight year. • Went through C-USA regular season play undefeated for a second-consecutive season. • Extended its overall C-USA win streak to 42 games and its league regular season win streak ro 33 games. • Started the season with 26-straight wins, the longest overall win streak and the longest win streak to start a campaign in school history. • Extended its homecourt win streak to 47 games, the longest in school history. • Extended its regular season win streak to 45 games, the eighth-longest in NCAA Division I history.

squad. The 2007-08 senior class then shattered that record with 126 wins. Memphis also made its mark in the national polls. The Tigers joined UCLA as the only two programs to be ranked in every poll in the last three seasons — a span of 58-consecutive polls. The ride started in 2005-06 with Memphis’ first 33-4 campaign. The 33 wins set a then-school record, and the Tigers captured the Conference USA regular season and tournament crowns. The conference tournament title was Memphis’ first since 1986-87. The Tigers carried that momentum into the NCAA Tournament, where they earned the program’s first No. 1 seed in school history. Memphis advanced to the Oakland Region final (Elite Eight), but lost to UCLA and fell short of the Final Four. The 2005-06 squad, though, set in motion that Tiger basketball was back. Expectations were high again in 2006-07, but no one predicted the Tigers to have another 30-win season and make a return trip to the Elite Eight. Memphis proved the basketball experts wrong. For the second-straight year, the Tigers won 33 games, swept the Conference USA regular season and tournament titles and returned to the NCAA Tournament South Region championship game (Elite Eight). Memphis, the South Region No. 2 seed, fell to No. 1 seed Ohio State. On their way to the Elite Eight, the Tigers set a then-school record 25-game win streak. In that streak, Memphis won 19 straight in the regular season and posted a perfect 16-0 record in league play. The Tigers became the first team in C-USA history to go unbeaten in the regular season and then win the league’s tournament title. In talking to the press after the Ohio State loss, Calipari was asked if he would entertain offers from other schools. His reply: “There may be better jobs around the country, but there may not be a better team than the one I have coming back.” With that, the stage was set for the “Dream Team.”

BOUNCE BACK MORE THAN WINS But, the rise of Tiger basketball is more than wins and losses in the Calipari era. The program’s bounce back is also evident in the graduation of its studentathletes, the improvement of facilities and the flocking of fans to support their Tigers. Much like he did at UMass when his players graduated at nearly 80 percent, Calipari is doing the same at Memphis. Fifteen of the last 18 seniors that have come through the Tiger program have earned their bachelor’s degrees. All three 2008-09 seniors — Antonio Anderson, Robert Dozier and Chance McGrady — are on schedule to graduate, and junior Shawn Taggart could graduate following the 2009 spring semester. Those graduates under Calipari have their cap-and-gown photographs hanging in the men’s basketball office. Furthermore, Calipari — with the help of the university administration — is reaching out to former Tigers to come back to campus and finish their degrees. Andre Turner, affectionately known to Tiger Nation as “The Little General,” went through graduation ceremonies in August 2008. Chris Garner and Cedric Henderson also took advantage of Calipari’s offer to return and received their degrees in 2008. On the facilities front, the Finch Center had just opened when Calipari arrived in 2000, giving the Tigers their own on-campus practice facility. However, the Finch Center was lacking in several areas, and the first focus on the weight room. In less than a couple of months on campus, Calipari had an a weight room filled with equipment in which his Tigers train. Since then, Calipari and his staff have remodeled the Finch Center, making it one of the nation’s top practice facilities. In the summer and fall of 2008, renovations began on the Finch Center to establish a Memphis Basketball Walk of Fame. A brick archway now identifies the front of the Finch Center, and the lobby area is a museum showing the history of Tiger
basketball. The practice court was refurbished and the weight room received updated equipment. In the fall of 2004, the Tigers moved into their new home, FedExForum. Memphis shares the arena with the NBA’s Grizzlies, and has its own state-of-the-art locker room. Like the Finch Center, the Tigers’ locker room at FedExForum is second to none among college basketball’s elite. Tiger basketball has had a long history of fan support, dating back all the way back to the 1930s when it played in the field house. Attendance, though, had waned in the years prior to Calipari’s arrival. He and his Tigers changed that. Since Calipari took over in 2000-01, the Tigers ranked among the nation’s top 20 in attendance seven of his eight years. The 2001 squad averaged 17,110 to rank sixth nationally, while the 2002 team averaged 16,225 to rank 10th. In 2002-03, Memphis was seventh with an average of 16,643 per contest, while the following season (2003-04), the Tigers ranked 10th (15,432 per game). In 2005-06, Memphis was 13th in the nation in attendance, averaging 14,866 per contest. The 2006-07 season saw the Tigers ranked 16th in the nation in attendance. In 2007-08, Memphis jumped back in the top 10 in national attendance, drawing just under 17,000 per game for 21 home dates. In Calipari’s tenure (eight years), Memphis has drawn over 2.2 million in total paid attendance. To put that in comparison, the Tigers drew just over 1.9 million in the nine years before Calipari came to Memphis. All nine seasons were played at The Pyramid, which held over 20,142. FedExForum’s capacity holds 18,400. The large attendance figures have given Memphis a true homecourt advantage. The Tigers are 74-9 (.892 winning percentage) in their four seasons at FedExForum, including a perfect 19-0 home mark in 2006-07. Memphis set a school record for homecourt win streak with 47-straight home victories from January of 2006 through February of 2008. Prior to its move to FedExForum, Memphis closed out its tenure in The Pyramid with a 24-game homecourt win streak that spanned over three seasons. The Tigers posted a perfect 15-0 record at The Pyramid in 2003-04.

Calipari directed Memphis to the No. 1 spot in both national polls in 2007-08. He also guided UMass to a No. 1 ranking in 1994. Calipari is one of five coaches in NCAA Division I history to take two different schools to No. 1 in the polls. The other four are Frank McGuire, Ralph Miller, Eddie Sutton and Roy Williams.
CALIPARI’S BOUNCE BACK
Like the Tiger basketball program, Calipari made his bounce back during his time in Memphis. In 1996, he moved from UMass to the NBA after leading the Minutemen to the pinnacle of college basketball — the Final Four. For his efforts, Calipari was named Naismith National Coach of the Year. Twelve years later and eight seasons into his tenure at Memphis, Calipari is back at the top. He led the Tigers to the 2008 NCAA title game, and Memphis’ 38 wins last year made Calipari the winningest coach for a single season in NCAA history. As a result, Calipari was named Naismith National Coach of the Year for a second time in his career. He is only the second coach to receive the honor multiple times since the award’s inception in 1987. Duke’s Mike Krzyzewski 2008-09 U

THE MEMPHIS BEGINNING Calipari’s return to the collegiate scene got a major boost when he was introduced as the Tigers’ head coach in the spring of 2000. Local television and radio stations went live at the press conference to announce Calipari as the University of Memphis’ 16th head basketball coach on Mar. 11, 2000. He was introduced to an overflow audience of fans in The Pyramid’s Tiger Club Room later in the day. In a matter of a few hours, the University of Memphis had seized March Madness. With his down-to-earth demeanor, his knowledge of Memphis basketball history and his expectations for the future of the program, folks left The Pyramid that March afternoon knowing Tiger basketball was in good hands. Memphis exceeded expectations in Calipari’s first year. The U of M won 20-plus games for the first time in five seasons, posting a 21-15 record. The Tigers advanced to the Conference USA Tournament semifinals U

for the first time since 1996 and capped the year with a third-place finish at the TiVo NIT. Memphis also broke both the season total (290,864) and season average (17,110) records for paid attendance. In under 12 months, Calipari had not only revitalized the Memphis program itself, but also re-energized a city’s love affair with Tiger basketball — a relationship that is the very fabric of the Memphis community. That bond has grown stronger with each passing season.

The bond between Calipari and the city of Memphis reaches beyond what his Tigers do on the basketball court. Calipari’s endeavors in the community and on the University of Memphis campus have mirrored the Tigers’ success. Recently, the Calipari Family Foundation for Children was created to increase efforts in support of local children’s charities and community projects. Through the Calipari Family Foundation, organizations like the Y.E.S. Foundation, Streets Ministries and many others will benefit. Calipari’s latest brainchild for the foundation is a speaker series called “An Evening with Coach Cal & Friends.” The series — that will run from October 2008 through April 2009 — is a community outreach vehicle bringing individuals that have acheived extraordinary success in athletics directly to the Memphis area community. One of the primary goals of the event is to allow its sponsors and guests to have a “voice in the community” as it brings together hundreds of area business leaders around a common goal. Proceeds from the event will be used to support The Calipari Family Foundation for Children. Giving back to the community, though, is nothing new for Calipari and his family. It has been a constant for Calipari since his arrival in the Bluff City in 2000. Early in his tenure at the U of M, Calipari began developing a relationship with Memphis-based FedEx. The overnight courier has employed Memphis studentathletes in its internship program during the summers. It is a program where the Tigers gain valuable experience in an area related to their field of study. Calipari also founded a program called NetWorks. The program brings together business leaders from throughout the community to network, find employment opportunities and place former Memphis players following their playing careers. Calipari has made several financial contributions to the University and has been honored by the Friends of the Ned McWherter Library on the U of M campus. In April of 2004, Calipari and his family made a $100,000 contribution to help endow athletic scholarships at the University. He also presented the university a check for $40,000 which resulted from a partnership between Calipari and Pace Cooper, president and CEO of Cooper Companies, the owner of Cal’s Championship Steakhouse in the Doubletree East Memphis. At the conclusion of his first season at Memphis, Calipari joined several area business leaders to form the Y.E.S. Foundation, an organization designed to educate middle school students about the importance of academics and athletics. Y.E.S., an acronym for Youth Education Through Sports, held its first camp on the U of M campus in August of 2001. Over 25 schools are currently taking part in the program which is in its eighth year. Calipari has also been responsible for raising

is the other to do so. But, Calipari’s bounce back is more than just last season. He has led the Tigers to eight-straight 20-win campaigns and eight-consecutive postseason appearances and is the only Memphis coach to do that. He enters 2008-09 with 219 wins — 27.4 wins per season — as the Tigers’ head coach, and needs only two victories to become the winningest coach in school history. When he gets those two wins, Calipari will move ahead of Tiger legend Larry Finch, who had 220 victories as head coach from 1987-97. Calipari’s success began in his first season at Memphis, but it’s the last three years that placed him in the NCAA and school record books. The Tigers’ 104 wins the last three seasons made Calipari the winningest coach in a three-year span in NCAA Division I history. His 71 victories in the last two seasons are the second-most in NCAA Division I history. He directed the Tigers to the top of both national polls in 2007-08, becoming the fifth coach in NCAA Division I history to take two different schools to the No. 1 ranking. Calipari led UMass to No. 1 in 1994. He joined Roy Williams, Ralph Miller, Frank McGuire and Eddie Sutton in that elite club. The last three seasons, Calipari directed the Tigers to 30-win campaigns and is the second coach in NCAA Division I history to record three-straight 30win ledgers. Kentucky’s Adolph Rupp was the first to accomplish the feat from 1947-49. With his success in the Bluff City, Calipari’s overall record has soared to 412-136 for an impressive 75.2 winning percentage. His 412 wins makes him only the second coach in NCAA Division I history to have 400 or more victories in the first 16 years. Roy Williams is the other. As for the most wins by a coach in his first 17 seasons, Calipari enters 2008-09 already in the No. 5 spot on that list. Calipari’s 75.2 winning percentage is the secondhighest among active NCAA Division I coaches with 10 years experience at college basketball’s Division I level, trailing only Roy Williams. On the NCAA Division I list for winning percentage for all coaches (minimum 10 years), Calipari is in 14th place and ahead of Krzyzewski, Jim Boeheim, Bob Huggins and Lute Olson. With his three 30-win seasons at Memphis, Calipari now has five for his career, which is the fourthmost for a head coach in NCAA Division I history. For his career (16 years), Calipari has 14 20-win seasons and eight 25-win campaigns.

The Calipari Family Bradley, John, Megan, Erin and Ellen money and making donations for improvements at the U of M’s tennis complex, air conditioning in the Elma Roane Fieldhouse and having courts resurfaced for use by Memphis students for outdoor basketball. In his early years in Memphis, Calipari teamed up with NBA All-Star guard Allen Iverson to renovate basketball courts in the community. The courts were dedicated in the Orange Mound community of Memphis as well as a four-plex of courts adjacent to Halle Stadium in southeast Memphis. The first courts built during the continuing project were at two housing projects located near downtown Foote Homes and Dixie Homes. He received the Lombardi Award from UNICO National in the summer of 2003. UNICO was founded in 1922 to provide scholarships to worthy students and to give strength and force in fighting discrimination against Italian-Americans. UNICO’s Lombardi Award recognized an outstanding individual of Italian-American heritage who is involved in athletics. In 2004, Calipari was inducted to the National Italian American Sports Hall of Fame and UMass Athletic Hall of Fame. He was also recognized by the West Tennessee Arthritis Foundation and Tennessee Health Care Association for his work and contributions to both organizations. Away from the University, Calipari is a sought after speaker. He has made countless appearances on programs such as Fox Sports Net’s Best Damn Sports Show Period, ESPN’s Outside the Lines and Jim Rome Is Burning and ESPN2’s Quite Frankly With Stephen A. Smith, as well as countless interviews on national radio programs.
PRIOR TO MEMPHIS Calipari returned to college basketball in 2000 after working the previous season as an assistant coach with the Philadelphia 76ers and two-plus seasons as the head
coach of the New Jersey Nets. Prior to moving to the NBA, Calipari built a basketball program from the ground up at the University of Massachusetts (1988-96), which had one of the worst NCAA Division I basketball records in the 1980s prior to his arrival. In one of college basketball’s best reclamation projects, Calipari led the Minuteman program to numerous wins, conference titles and NCAA Tournament appearances. His passion to build a program helped accelerate the construction of the Mullins Center, UMass’ basketball and hockey facility. Calipari’s desire also reached out to eastern Massachusetts and Boston and brought fans back to Amherst, located in the picturesque Berkshire Mountains, to watch a national powerhouse basketball team. During an eight-year stint at UMass, he took the Minutemen to five-straight NCAA Tournaments (199296), advancing to the Final Four in his last season. UMass advanced to the NCAA Sweet 16 on three occasions and two Elite Eights. The school became just the second NCAA Division I program to win five-straight regular season and conference tournament championships. Calipari compiled a 193-71 record (.731) during his career at Massachusetts, including a 108-44 mark (.684) in Atlantic 10 play. In addition to five-straight NCAA Tournaments, UMass also made two appearances in the NIT, advancing to the NIT final four in 1991. The 1990-91 season was the first of six-straight seasons in which the Minutemen won at least 20 games. Calipari’s personal 20-win streak has reached the 14-season mark as all eight of his Memphis clubs have won 20-plus games. In his final season at UMass, Calipari was named the 1996 Naismith National Coach of the Year and The Sporting News National Coach of the Year. He was also named the Atlantic 10 Coach of the Year for the third

time in four years, as well as Basketball Times East Region Coach of the Year. During the Minutemen’s 35-2 season in 199596, UMass posted wins over Maryland, Wake Forest, Georgia Tech, Syracuse, Virginia Tech and Louisville. UMass ended the regular season ranked No. 1 in the nation in the final regular season poll after being the top-ranked team for nine weeks earlier in the year. The Minutemen also won their first 26 games of the season, setting a school record for most consecutive wins. In addition to his National Coach of the Year honors in 1996, Calipari was a Naismith Coach of the Year finalist in 1994 and 1995. He was the USBWA District I Coach of the Year in 1993. Calipari’s accomplishments are made even more impressive when you consider what he started with at UMass. Prior to his arrival, UMass had suffered through 10-straight losing seasons. At 29, when he was named head coach, Calipari began to build a program from the ground up, going 10-18 his first season before posting a 17-14 record his second year and receiving a bid to the NIT. UMass made a late season run in 1991, advancing to the NIT’s final four. The Minutemen won their first A-10 championship in 1992 with a 30-5 record, including a 13-3 mark in league play. With a 77-71 overtime win over Syracuse in an East Regional second-round game, UMass made its first Sweet 16 appearance. Off the court, UMass’ graduation rate for its basketball players was close to 80 percent. Calipari left UMass in June of 1996 to become Executive Vice President of Basketball Operations and Head Coach of the New Jersey Nets. He led the Nets to a second-place finish in the NBA’s Atlantic Division and the playoffs in 1998, ending a five-year postseason drought for the franchise. The Nets’ 17-game turnaround from the previous year was the best that season in the NBA. He joined the Philadelphia 76ers coaching staff in 1999, rejoining Philadelphia coach Larry Brown, who Calipari was an assistant for at Kansas. Calipari began his coaching career at Kansas as a volunteer assistant under Ted Owens. In 1983, he was hired as the recruiting coordinator at the University of Vermont, but was swayed back to the nation’s heartland when Brown was hired as head coach at KU. He spent three seasons at Kansas (1982-85) before another three-year stint as an assistant coach to Paul Evans at Pittsburgh (1985-88). The 49-year-old lettered two years at North Carolina-Wilmington before transferring to Clarion State. He played point guard at Clarion during the 1981 and 1982 seasons, leading the team in assists and free throw percentage. The Eagles were ranked in the Division II Top 20 both years and participated in the 1981 NCAA Division II Tournament. Calipari and his wife, Ellen, have two daughters, Erin Sue and Megan Rae, and a son, Bradley Vincent. Erin is in her fourth year of college at UMass, while Megan began her first year of college at Memphis this fall.

ohn Calipari calls his coaching staff a “family,” and he welcomed back a member of his family to Memphis when John Robic joined the staff in the summer of 2005. Robic, whose first association with Calipari came when their paths briefly crossed at Kansas in the mid-1980s, joined the Memphis staff after serving as head coach at Youngstown State. And it seems as if the CalipariRobic duo is a proven combination for thrilling basketball seasons. Similar to those magical years he assisted in at UMass in the 1990s, Robic, in three seasons at Memphis (2005-06, 2006-07, 2007-08), has helped lead the Tigers to the program’s most storied era in school history. The last three years, the Tigers won an NCAA record-tying 104 games (104-10 record), advanced to the 2006 and 2007 NCAA Elite Eights and 2008 NCAA title game and swept the Conference USA regular season and tournament crowns. Memphis had win streaks of 26 games in 2007-08 and 25 games in 2006-07, and the Tigers spent each week of the last three years in the national polls — one of only two schools in the nation to do so (UCLA is the other). Last season, Robic was a part of the Tigers’ “Dream Season,” which lasted through the NCAA championship game. Memphis set an NCAA record for victories with 38 wins (38-2 mark) and held down the No. 1 spot in both national U

a tremendous year in the Mid-Con in 2000-01, Robic’s second year at the helm. The Penguins posted a 19-11 overall mark and an 11-5 Mid-Con record. The 19 overall wins were the second-most in 16 seasons, and the 11 league victories tied the school record for most conference wins. Before taking over at Youngstown State, Robic served as an assistant for 11 years at UMass for both Calipari and Bruiser Flint, helping the Minutemen rise from one of the country’s worst programs to one of the nation’s elite. Robic played an integral role in building the Minutemen into a national power. After a 10-18 mark his first season on staff, Robic helped lead the Minutemen to nine-consecutive winning campaigns. From 1990-96, the Minutemen averaged 26 wins per year, and had six-straight 20-win seasons, including two 30-victory campaigns. In that sevenyear span, UMass won five-straight Atlantic 10 Conference regular season and tournament titles. The Minutemen earned five-straight NCAA Tournament bids and advanced past the first round all five years. UMass made the NCAA Tournament Sweet 16 in 1992, Elite Eight in 1995 and Final Four in 1996. It was UMass’ first-ever appearance on college basketball’s largest stage. Prior to the NCAA Tournament run, the Minutemen played in consecutive NITs in 1990 and 1991, advancing to the final four in 1991. After Calipari moved on to the NBA, Robic remained at UMass and was elevated to the associate head coach post under Flint from 1997-99. UMass went 54-41 in those three seasons, and made postseason appearances in 1997 (NCAA) and 1998 (NIT). During his tenure at UMass, the Minutemen posted a 247-111 overall record (.690 winning percentage) and earned nine postseason tournament bids (seven NCAA, two NIT). While at UMass, Robic coached UTEP head coach Tony Barbee and UMass head coach Derek Kellogg. Prior to joining Calipari at UMass, Robic served as a graduate assistant on Larry Brown’s staff at Kansas for two years (1986-87, 1987-88). While in Lawrence, he was a member of the coaching staff that led the Jayhawks to a 52-22 two-year mark and consecutive NCAA Tournaments. The 1986-87 squad advanced to the NCAA Sweet 16, and the 1987-88 team, dubbed “Danny Manning and The Miracles,” won the NCAA championship behind the spectacular performance of the Jayhawk All-American. A graduate of North Hills High School in Pittsburgh, Pa., Robic attended Walsh College in Canton, Ohio, before

transferring to Denison University in Granville, Ohio, where he earned his B.A. in Speech Communication and Physical Education in 1986. At Denison, Robic garnered Division III All-America accolades as a senior and was a two-time all-conference performer. He was one of 10 former players to be named to the 10th Anniversary All-Decade Team in the league in 1994. In the fall of 2006, he was inducted into the Denison Athletic Hall of Fame. Robic was inducted into the North Hills High School Hall of Fame in 2004. Robic and his wife, Heidi, have three daughters, Hayley, Alli and Sophie.

polls for a school-record, five-straight weeks during the season. The Tigers won a school-record, 26-straight games, and swept the Conference USA regular season and tournament titles. The Tigers won 30 games for a third-straight year, becoming the second school in NCAA Division I history to accomplish the feat. Kentucky was the first to do so from 1947-49 and 199698. UCLA joined the elite group later in 2007-08. Memphis repeated C-USA history that it set in 2006-07, going undefeated in league play (16-0 record) and winning the conference tournament championship. The Tigers finished the year ranked No. 2 in both polls, the highest final ranking in school history. In 2006-07, Robic helped guide Memphis to another record-setting campaign. The Tigers won 33 games for a second-straight season (33-4 record) and captured their second-consecutive Conference USA regular season and tournament titles. Memphis advanced to the NCAA Tournament Elite Eight for a second-straight year (2006, 2007), marking the first time in school history that happened. The 2006-07 Tigers also pulled a first in Conference USA history. Memphis posted a perfect 16-0 regular season mark and captured the league’s postseason tournament. The Tigers received a No. 2 seed in the NCAA Tournament and finished in the top 10 in both national polls (No. 5/AP; No. 7/ESPN-USA Today). In the Tigers’ 2005-06 remarkable season, Memphis posted a 33-4 record and won the Conference USA regular season and tournament titles. The sweep of the conference regular season and tournament crowns was accomplished for the first time since 1984-85. The 2005-06 Memphis squad earned the program’s first-ever NCAA Tournament No. 1 seed and advanced to the Elite Eight for the first time since 1992. The Tigers finished the season ranked in the top 10 of both national polls (No. 4/AP; No. 6/ESPN-USA Today). Prior to 2005-06, Robic directed the Youngstown State program from 1999-2005, and during his time there, he and his staff faced a huge challenge as the Penguins moved from the MidContinent Conference (Mid-Con) to the Horizon League, one of the nation’s premier basketball conferences that includes Butler (2003, 2007 NCAA Sweet 16) and Wisconsin-Milwaukee (2005 NCAA Sweet 16). Robic’s Penguins best finish in the Horizon League was a sixth-place showing in the 2002-03 campaign, the program’s second year in its new conference.

hroughout his coaching career when having to fill a staff vacancy, John Calipari first looks to family — former staffers or players that either want to get their start in the profession or have another opportunity to restart their careers. But, this past offseason when both Derek Kellogg and Chuck Martin took head coach positions at UMass and Marist, respectively, and asked some Tiger staffers to join them, Calipari looked to bring a new face into the family. In his search, Calipari found that new family member from an area he is all to familiar with. Calipari went back to his roots in western Pennsylvania, and hired Orlando Antigua to join his staff. Antigua, a former University of Pittsburgh standout, comes to Memphis after spending the last five seasons on his alma mater’s staff, including the last two years as an assistant coach. Antigua joins the Tigers at the time of the most successful run in school history. The past three years, Memphis was the winningest program in NCAA Division I with 104 victories (10410 record) and advanced to the 2008 NCAA championship game and 2006 and 2007 NCAA Elite Eights. The Tigers won over 30 games all three seasons — including an NCAA record 38 victories in 2007-08 — and swept the Conference USA regular season and tournament titles, posting an incredible 54-1 mark against league foes over that span of time. Since 2005-06, the Tigers have been a mainstay in the national polls. Memphis enters 2008-09 tied with UCLA for most consecutive weeks in the polls at 58, and the Tigers and Bruins are the only two programs to be ranked in every poll the last three years. In 2007-08, Memphis made school history with its climb to the No. 1 spot in both national polls and remained there for a program-record, five-straight weeks. Antigua brings his own impressive resume of success to Memphis. During his five years at Pittsburgh, he helped lead the Panthers to a overall record of 132-40 (.767 winning percentage) and a Big East Conference mark of 55-27 (.670 winning percentage). Pittsburgh recorded five-straight, 20-win campaigns and won 10 or more league games five-consecutive years. The Panthers had just as much success in the postseason during Antigua’s years. Pittsburgh won the 2003-04 Big
East regular season crown and advanced to four Big East Tournament championship games in his five years on staff, claiming the 2008 league postseason title. The Panthers earned NCAA Tournament bids all five of Antigua’s years and advanced to the Sweet Sixteen in 2004 and 2007. Pittsburgh also had 113-straight home sellouts in Antigua’s tenure. Antigua’s first stint with Pittsburgh was his collegiate playing days from 1991-95. A four-year letterwinner and two-time team captain, Antigua ranks in the top 15 on the Panthers’ all-time three-pointers made (11th with 117 treys) and blocked shots (12th with 78 swats) and in the top 10 for career three-point percentage (6th at 38.6 percent). For his career, he scored 930 points and grabbed 409 rebounds, while starting 78 of his 116 games played. A 1992 Big East Conference AllRookie Team pick, Antigua helped lead the Panthers to an 18-16 record and an National Invitation Tournament (NIT) berth as a freshman. The following year, Antigua’s Panthers went 1711 and earned an NCAA Tournament bid. In 1994, he was named the United States Basketball Writers’ Association (USBWA) Most Courageous Athlete, an honor presented annually to the college basketball player who displays courage on and off the court. Antigua, who averaged 10.0 points each of his last two seasons, graduated from Pittsburgh with a degree in Social Sciences in December 1995. After graduation, Antigua was selected to play for the world-renowned Harlem Globetrotters, becoming the first player of Latin American descent to play for the squad. Nicknamed “Hurricane” for his dazzling moves, Antigua played with the Globetrotters for seven years until 2002. He represented the team in 49 different countries and on tours to South America, South Africa and on the acclaimed “Youth in Our Lives Tour.” Antigua also played in the Puerto Rico Superior Basketball League for eight years, and in both 1994-95 and 1997-98, he was a member of the Dominican Republic national team. Because of his dedication to the community, Antigua was named one of the nation’s top-100 most influential Hispanic Americans by Hispanic Business magazine. Prior to rejoining the Panthers’ program, Antigua served as an assistant basketball coach at nearby Mt. Lebanon High School in 2002-03. That same

year, he also worked as a sales representative for Cavanaugh Promotions. A Dominican Republic native who was raised in Bronx, N.Y., Antigua recovered from a 1988 Halloween incident where he was shot in the head near his left eye. Undeterred by the incident, Antigua quickly returned to the playing court two weeks later, and went on to play three seasons at Pittsburgh with the slug in his head. Doctors initially ruled out removing the bullet as being too risky, but Antigua began suffering severe headaches. Antigua’s family also went through a period of homelessness. The oldest of three brothers, Antigua was credited with keeping the family together while housing was secured. He overcame these difficulties and went on to serve as student council president at St. Raymond’s High School. As a member of the school’s basketball squad, Antigua played a major role in the team’s New York Catholic League championship run. As a senior, he earned McDonald’s All-America and Parade magazine All-America second team honors and was also named AllNew York City. At that time, Antigua became the school’s second all-time leading scorer with over 1,000 points. Fluent in Spanish, Antigua and his wife, Dana, have two children: a son, Orlando Anthony, and a daughter, Olivia.

s children, we all are asked, “What do you want to be when you grow up?” Then, they dream about that chosen profession and how to succeed in it. For Tiger assistant coach Josh Pastner, he not only dreamed about what he wanted to do as a kid, but he put his plan into action as early as elementary school. According to his father, Hal, Josh read and studied every book on basketball he could find. Pastner also traveled with his father’s summer basketball team and stayed in the gym from early morning until the last game was finished. Furthermore, Pastner wrote scouting reports on players and sent them to college coaches when he was barely a teenager. Pastner is doing now what he dreamed of as a kid — coaching college basketball — with a tireless, relentless drive. And, he brings those exceptional qualities to the Memphis program. The Kingwood, Texas, native joins the Tigers at the time of the most successful run in school history. The past three years, Memphis was the winningest program in NCAA Division I with 104 victories (104-10 record) and advanced to the 2008 NCAA championship game and 2006 and 2007 NCAA Elite Eights. The Tigers won over 30 games all three seasons — including an NCAA record 38 victories in 200708 — and swept the Conference USA regular season and tournament titles, U

was also involved in a wealth of charitable organizations, including the Boys and Girls Clubs of Tucson, Boy Scouts of America, Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, Naval Special Warfare Foundation, Special Olympics and various local law enforcement support groups to name a few. His charitable efforts got him named to the Tucson Business Edge’s “40 Under 40” list for 2007. The honor recognizes local business leaders under 40 years of age. The annual list not only recognizes recipients for professional success, but community involvement, public service, and participation in trade groups or professional organizations. In the 2001-02 season, Pastner served as the team’s video and recruiting coordinator, as well as an administrative assistant. In that role, he oversaw the team’s video room and assisted in film editing, as designated by the coaching staff. Pastner coordinated all recruiting mailings and assisted in monitoring the academic progress of the program’s student-athletes. He filled the coaching vacancy left when former assistant Jay John left to become the head coach at Oregon State. Pastner assumed his fulltime responsibilities on Apr. 10, 2002. Pastner made the step up from the playing ranks to the coaching world in June 2000 when he was named an undergraduate assistant coach for Arizona. Pastner, who played for the Wildcats from 1996-2000, had similar duties as the three assistant coaches, but could not go on the road to recruit. Pastner played in 42 games as a Wildcat and finished his career with an average of 0.9 ppg. The Wildcats were 42-0 in the games in which he appeared. Despite his lack of playing time, Pastner’s presence in the Arizona program was invaluable, performing many of the small “behind-the-scenes” things that helped the team win the 1997 NCAA championship and two Pac-10 titles (1998, 2000) during his career. Pastner helped break down game tapes and scout opponents, and he was the shot specialist for many of the Wildcat players. In his 12 overall years with the program, Arizona had a 290-103 record (.738 winning percentage). Pastner earned his bachelor’s degree in Family Studies from Arizona in December 1998, two-and-ahalf years after enrolling, the fastest an Arizona student-athlete has ever earned a degree. He finished his master’s in Teaching and Teacher Education in December 1999 before beginning work on his doctorate. In his role as an undergraduate assistant in 2000-01, Pastner began pursuit of another undergraduate degree. Despite taking as many as 33 units

a semester while at Arizona, Pastner maintained a high grade-point average, was nominated for the CoSIDA/GTE Academic All-America team and was named to the Academic All-Pac-10 second team as a senior in 2000. While a high school and college athlete, Pastner began his career as a coach on the AAU circuit. He led the Houston Hoops, a select all-star team from that area, to the 1999 Nike National Summer Championship in San Diego. Pastner also led the Houston Hoops to the Global World Championship in the summer of 2000.

posting an incredible 54-1 mark against league foes over that span of time. Since 2005-06, the Tigers have been a mainstay in the national polls. Memphis enters 2008-09 tied with UCLA for most consecutive weeks in the polls at 58, and the Tigers and Bruins are the only two programs to be ranked in every poll the last three years. In 2007-08, Memphis made school history with its climb to the No. 1 spot in both national polls and remained there for a program-record, five-straight weeks. Pastner comes to Memphis after a six-year stint as an assistant coach on the University of Arizona staff. From 2003-08, Arizona averaged nearly 23 wins per season (137-60 record; .695 winning percentage), captured two Pac-10 regular season championships (2003, 2005) and advanced to two NCAA Tournament regional finals (2003, 2005). The Wildcats earned NCAA Tournament berths in each of Pastner’s six seasons as an assistant coach. Pastner, who was with the Arizona program as a player, administrator and coach since 1996, was a key cog in the Wildcats’ recruiting efforts and working with the program’s big men. In his six seasons in Tucson, Pastner’s tireless efforts on the recruiting trail paid big dividends, as the Wildcats continued to successfully recruit top-notch student-athletes. Arizona’s recruiting classes were among the best nationally in each of his six seasons as an assistant. In June of 2005, Rivals. com’s Chris Wallace named Pastner one of college basketball’s top 25 recruiters, writing, “Any list of top recruiters must include Pastner.” In May 2008, FoxSports.com rated Pastner as the No. 7 high-major recruiter in the country. Pastner’s hard work is not only seen on the recruiting trail, but also on the court as evidenced by the outstanding play of Arizona’s frontline. Former Wildcat All-Americans Luke Walton and Channing Frye each flourished under Pastner’s tutelage. Both showed marked improvement each season under Pastner, eventually turning themselves into NBA draft picks — Walton a second-round pick by the Los Angeles Lakers in 2003 and Frye a first-round pick of the New York Knicks in 2005. Pastner’s efforts were also evident in the progress of current Wildcat Jordan Hill. An unheralded recruit when he entered the program in 2006, Hill blossomed into one of the finest big men in the Pac-10 Conference, posting averages of 13.2 points, 7.9 rebounds and 1.6 blocked shots per game to go with a .620 field goal percentage in 2007-08. During his time at Arizona, Pastner

So, when Milt Wagner took his years of college and professional basketball know-how to join Tony Barbee’s staff at UTEP in the summer of 2006, John Calipari looked to add another person who would bring that same background to the Memphis program. Enter Rod Strickland, a 17-year NBA veteran and two-time All-America at DePaul. Strickland, who joined the Memphis basketball staff as Director of Student-Athlete Development/Manager in the fall of 2006, moved into the position of Director of Basketball Operations in the summer of 2008. In his new role, Strickland is in charge in several “behind-the-scenes” areas for the Tiger program, among them monitoring the student-athletes’ academic progress, assisting with travel plans and coordinating recruits’ on-campus visits. As Wagner did during his time in Memphis, Strickland is taking classes toward completing his bachelor’s degree. Strickland’s addition to the staff has helped the Tigers reached heights the program hasn’t seen in some time. During his first two years on the Memphis bench, the Tigers posted an amazing 71-6 record (.922 winning percentage), won back-to-back Conference USA regular season and tournament titles and reached the 2007 NCAA Tournament Elite Eight and 2008 NCAA Tournament championship game. The 71 wins are the second-most by a program in NCAA Division I basketball over a two-year span (Montana State won 72 games from 1928-29). Last year, Memphis set an NCAA Division I record and a school mark for victories in a single season with 38 wins (38-2 record). The Tigers swept the Conference USA regular season and tournament titles and won the NCAA Tournament South Region crown en route to the NCAA Tournament championship game. Memphis’ run to the Final Four was the program’s first since 1985 and the NCAA title game appearance was its first since 1973. In mid-January, Memphis reached the No. 1 spot in both national polls for the first time since 1983, and held down the top position for five-straight weeks during the season. The Tigers won a school-record, 26-straight games, which was also the longest winning streak of any NCAA Division I team during the 2007-08 campaign. For a second-straight year, Memphis posted a perfect 16-0 record in Conference USA
play. In only his first year on the Tiger staff in 2006-07, Strickland made an immediate impact, helping direct Memphis to one of its most successful campaigns in school history. Memphis won 33 games (33-4 record), swept the Conference USA regular season and tournament titles and advanced to the NCAA Tournament Elite Eight. The Tigers recorded a perfect 16-0 C-USA record, becoming the first squad in Conference USA history to have an unblemished regular season record and also win the league’s postseason tournament. The New York City native came to Memphis after a lengthy and successful career in the NBA. The 6-foot3 guard was an NBA first round draft pick of the Knicks in 1988, and during his career, Strickland played for New York, San Antonio, Portland, Washington, Miami, Minnesota, Orlando, Toronto and Houston. Strickland played in 1,094 games and scored over 14,000 points (13.2 career average) and dished out nearly 8,000 assists (7.3 career average). The 1997-98 NBA campaign with Washington was Strickland’s best, as he averaged a double-double with 17.8 points and 10.5 assists. His 10.5 assist average led the NBA that year, and he was selected to the All-NBA second team. That year, Strickland also became only the 25th player in NBA history to record 10,000 points and 5,000 assists. He also ranked among the NBA’s top 10 in assists in the 1991-92 (5th), 199394 (6th), 1994-95 (5th) and 1995-96 (4th) seasons. Prior to his time in the NBA, Strickland enjoyed a stellar career at DePaul. A 1987 and 1988 All-America pick, Strickland helped lead the Blue Demons to four-straight NCAA Tour-

nament appearances from 1985-88, including Sweet Sixteen showings in 1986 and 1987. The four-time Blue Demon letterwinner ranks among the program’s career leaders in scoring average (8th; 16.6 ppg), assists (3rd; 557) and steals (2nd; 204). In September of 2008, Strickland was inducted into the New York City Basketball Hall of Fame. Joining Strickland in the 19th induction class were Kenny Anderson, Louis Bender, Pete Gillen, Joe Goldstein, Bob McCullough, Sam Perkins and Eddie Younger.

hen Roburt Sallie signed to play at Memphis this past May, he stated that the strength and conditioning program impressed him, especially the before and after photos showing the improvement of recent Tigers in that area. In the summer of 2007, Antonio Anderson was called “a beast” by a national college basketball writer — and that was a compliment. Head coach John Calipari also marveled about Willie Kemp’s body transformation. All of it is the work the Memphis players put in the strength and conditioning program under the direction of Richard Hogans, who is in his fifth year as the Tigers’ Director of Performance Enhancement. In his four years with the program, Hogans’ desire, intensity and passion for strength and conditioning has been infectious, winning over the coaches and players. The work has paid off for the Tigers. The last three seasons (2005-06, 200607, 2007-08) have seen Memphis take their fans on magical rides from early November through the month of March Madness. The last three years, the Tigers won an NCAA record-tying 104 games (104-10 record), advanced to the 2006 and 2007 NCAA Elite Eights and 2008 NCAA title game and swept the ConferU

In 2004-05, the Tigers played into late March, advancing to the NIT semifinals. Memphis posted a 22-16 record and was the Conference USA Tournament runner-up. Hogans joined the Memphis staff in September of 2004, coming to the school from his position as a personal trainer and fitness director. Hogans was owner of NEXGEN Personal Training Services Inc., and served as Fitness Director/Director of Sports Specific Training at the DeSoto Athletic Club in Southaven, Miss. Prior to his career in personal training, Hogans served on the Memphis Xplorers staff in the 2002 season as the offensive and defensive line coach and strength and conditioning coach. Before jumping into the coaching ranks, Hogans played professional football in the NFL, NFL Europe and XFL. Following his collegiate career at Memphis, Hogans was selected by the Chicago Bears in the sixth round of the 1997 NFL Draft. He stayed with the Bears organization from 1997-98, but was sidelined his rookie season with an ACL tear. From 1998 through 2000, Hogans was with the San Diego Chargers and also played with the Rhien Fire and Berlin Thunder of NFL Europe. In 2000, Hogans led NFL Europe in total tackles and was selected to the NFL Europe All-Defensive Team. Hogans played with the XFL’s Memphis Maniax in 2000-01 and served as the team’s captain. In March of 2001, Hogans was acquired by the NFL’s Jacksonville Jaguars, but shortly after, had to retire from professional football with an eye injury. The Columbus, Ga., native was a four-year letterman for the Tiger football squad from 1993-96. A 1993 Sporting News Freshman All-America second team pick, Hogans finished his career with 307 total tackles, 24 TFLs and eight quarterback sacks. The 6-foot-2 linebacker was a 1996 All-Conference USA first team pick, after being named to the league’s second team in 1995. The 1996 Butkus Award candidate served as a team captain that season and led the squad with 128 total hits. For his performance in 1996, Hogans was named the team’s Defensive Player of the Year. Hogans graduated from Memphis’ Fogelman College of Business with a degree in Management Information Systems. He is certified by the National Strength Coaches Association (NSCA) and International Sports Sciences of America Hogans and his wife, Wendy, have three children — two sons, Dylan (17) and R.J.

ence USA regular season and tournament crowns. Memphis had win streaks of 26 games in 2007-08 and 25 games in 2006-07, and the Tigers spent each week of the last three years in the national polls — one of only two schools in the nation to do so (UCLA is the other). Last season, Hogans was a part of a “Dream Season,” which lasted through the NCAA championship game. Memphis set an NCAA record for victories with 38 wins (38-2 mark) and held down the No. 1 spot in both national polls for a school-record, five-straight weeks during the season. The Tigers won a school-record 26-straight games, and swept the Conference USA regular season and tournament titles. The Tigers won 30 games for a third-straight year, becoming the second school in NCAA Division I history to accomplish the feat. Kentucky was the first to do so from 1947-49 and 199698. UCLA joined the elite group later in 2007-08. Memphis repeated C-USA history that it set in 2006-07, going undefeated in league play (16-0 record) and winning the conference tournament championship. The Tigers finished the year ranked No. 2 in both polls, the highest final ranking in school history. In 2006-07, Hogans helped Memphis to another record-setting campaign. The Tigers won 33 games for a second-straight season (33-4 record) and captured their second-consecutive Conference USA regular season and tournament titles. Memphis advanced to the NCAA Tournament Elite Eight for a second-straight year (2006, 2007), marking the first time in school history that happened. The 2006-07 Tigers also pulled a first in Conference USA history. Memphis posted a perfect 16-0 regular season mark and captured the league’s postseason tournament. The Tigers received a No. 2 seed in the NCAA Tournament and finished in the top 10 in both national polls (No. 5/AP; No. 7/ESPN-USA Today). The 2005-06 year went down as one of the best in school history. Memphis posted a 33-4 record and won the Conference USA regular season and tournament titles. The sweep of the conference regular season and tournament crowns was accomplished for the first time since 1984-85. The 2005-06 Memphis squad earned the program’s first-ever NCAA Tournament No. 1 seed and advanced to the Elite Eight for the first time since 1992. The Tigers finished the season ranked in the top 10 of both national polls (No. 4/AP; No. 6/ESPNUSA Today).

hris Simmons is in his third year as the athletic trainer for the University of Memphis men’s basketball program. In 2006, Simmons made a return to the university where he earned his bachelor’s degree in Exercise and Sport Science in 2002. In his role with the Tigers, Simmons is responsible for injury prevention and rehabilitation and serves as the liaison between team doctors and the coaching staff. Simmons has been a member of the Tiger staff that helped direct Memphis to consecutive record-setting seasons. Last year, Memphis won an NCAA record 38 games (38-2 record) and reached the NCAA Tournament championship game. En route to the NCAA title contest, Simmons’ quick work on Derrick Rose’s cut above his eye suffered
in the South Region semifinal game against Michigan State aided the Tigers’ postseason run. Rose finished the Michigan State game and had a tremendous performance against Texas in the regional final to claim the NCAA South Region MVP honor. The Tigers also swept the Conference USA regular season and tournament titles, and were ranked No. 1 in both national polls for a school-record, five-straight weeks in 2007-08. In his first year on staff in 2006-07, Memphis posted a 33-4 overall record, won the Conference USA regular season and tournament titles and advanced to the NCAA Tournament Elite Eight. In fact, Simmons’ around-the-clock aid on Chris Douglas-Roberts’ sprained ankle in between the NCAA Tournament second round and the region semifinal got the Tiger guard ready for action with only a three-day turnaround. Simmons, a McComb, Miss., native, came to the Memphis athletics department after working the 200506 year as the head trainer for the Arkansas RimRockers of the NBDL. In that position, he was responsible for coordinating all athletic training, team equipment and medical billing and assisted the team with travel administration. Prior to accepting the RimRockers’ post in summer of 2005, Simmons was a graduate assistant athletic trainer at the University of Arkansas, where he earned a master’s degree in Education with a concentration in Sports Management in December of 2004. While pursuing his master’s, Simmons worked with the Razorback football team from 2002-04. As an undergraduate at Memphis, he was a student athletic trainer for the Tigers’ football, men’s basketball and baseball teams. Simmons also completed two internships while in school. He was an athletic training intern for the National Football League’s Cleveland Browns at summer training camps in 2000 and 2001. He was an intern for the NBA’s Houston Rockets in the summer of 2006. Simmons is a certified member of the National Athletic Trainers’ Association and National Society of Black Athletic Trainers. In the summer of 2008, Simmons also served as the trainer for the Conference USA All-Star team that played a three-game exhibition tour against the Chinese National Team in China.

2007-08 TiGerS HOld 12 SeaSOn MarkS The 2007-08 University of Memphis basketball season was record-setting — an NCAA record 38 wins, NCAA Tournament championship game appearance, NCAA South Region crown, Conference USA regular season and tournament titles and the program’s first No. 1 national ranking since 1983. The Tigers’ success was also measured by the numbers they put up in 2007-08. After that campaign was finished, the 2007-08 team set 12 single-season records, including most wins, most consecutive wins, longest homecourt win streak, most points, most rebounds, most three-pointers made, most assists and most blocked shots. The Tigers also jumped into the top five of five other single-season statistical categories. The Tigers held down the No. 1 spot in both national polls for a schoolrecord, five-straight weeks and also stayed in either the No. 1 or No. 2 position in both polls for 16-consecutive weeks, also a school record. In fact, Memphis is tied with UCLA for the longest current streak of staying in the national polls. The Tigers and Bruins carry a 58-week poll streak into the 2008-09 campaign.

MEMPHIS FIRST NCAA TOURNAMENT WIN
The University of Memphis made the prestigious NCAA Tournament for the first time in 1955, but it was not until 1973 that the Tigers enjoyed their first-ever tourney win. After compiling a 21-5 regular season mark during the 1972-73 season, the Tigers received a first-round bye and had to face South Carolina. The Gamecocks were led that year by Mike Dunleavy and Alex English. But it was the one-two combination of the Tigers’ Larry Kenon and Larry Finch that provided Memphis with its first NCAA victory. Kenon and Finch combined for 59 points to lead the Tigers to a convincing 90-76 win over the Gamecocks in Houston. The Tigers also recorded a phenomenal 60 rebounds, with Kenon leading the way with 20 boards. Memphis would go on to defeat a Lon Kruger-led Kansas State team in the Midwest Regional Final 92-72 to advance to the Final Four. The Tigers would defeat Providence 98-85, before losing to UCLA 87-66 in the championship game. Pictured at right is Finch who scored 29 points against the Bruins in the 1973 Finals.

The 2007-08 Tigers celebrate their NCAA Tournament South Region championship after defeating Texas 85-67 in the regional title game in Houston’s Reliant Stadium. The win propelled Memphis to the school’s first NCAA Final Four appearance since 1985. The Tigers rolled through the regional with double-digit wins over Michigan State (92-74) and Texas. Joey Dorsey, Chris Douglas-Roberts and Derrick Rose were named to the NCAA All-South Region Team, with Rose taking home region MVP honors. Memphis moved on to the Final Four in San Antonio the following weekend and posted a 78-63 win over UCLA in the national semifinals. Two nights later, the Tigers fell to Kansas in overtime in the championship game. Memphis, though, finished the 2007-08 season with a 38-2 overall record. The 38 victories are an NCAA record for most wins in a single season.

Hutton, Wayne Franklin, Randall Smith, Coy Creason, Phil Hodson, Bennie Reed, Jack Graninger and Van Mathis. X In 1941, West Tennessee State Teachers College became Memphis State College. The Tigers went on to win nine of 17 games that year under their new name and claimed the city championship by defeating Southwestern twice. X The 1940-41 season saw the Tigers fall to the World Champion New York Celtics, 48-43, in Memorial Gym. The Celtics agreed prior

to the game that they would not take any free throws, instead, getting the ball out of bounds. For three full quarters, forward Davey Banks and crew gave a dazzling exhibition and scored almost at will. Midway through the fourth quarter and leading by eight points, the Celtics famed comical circus went into action. At one point, Banks played for the Tigers and even the referee, Marion Hale, scored a bucket for the home team. The Tigers lost to Goldcrest 54-43 in front of 1,500 spectators at the Gaston Community Center. The game was part of a jubilee to raise money for the Dr. James Naismith Memorial. In a 72-41 win over Southwestern for the city championship in the 1941-42 season, star forward Leslie Steele scored a then record 42 points in front of a crowd of 600. It was the first time in Tiger history a player had scored over 40 points in a single game. There was no team in 1943-44 due to World War II, and the 1944-45 squad had to be made up of freshmen under the age of 18. Birthdays rolled around and two of the starters received presidential draft greetings. The 1947-48 season was the last season that Zach Curlin served as head coach. McCoy Tarry, known as the “little red head,” became the fifth head coach in U of M history in 1948. Tarry came to Memphis from Brewers High School in Brewers, Ky. One part of Tarry’s strategy was the use of five guards at the same time once the Tigers had a slight lead. The fivesome would then use their speed and quickness to freeze the basketball. Due to large crowds in the 1949-50 season, two games had to be moved to Messick High Gym and the Shelby County Building.

X In the 1920s, West Tennessee State Normal School played its games in the Normal Cage, the YMCA and the Messick High School gym. The Normal Cage was a room in the Administration Building with the floor marked with the dimensions of a basketball court. The court allowed barely six inches from the court sidelines to the room's walls. X Memphis Normal’s first head coach was Frederick Grantham, who also started for the Tigers at forward. Grantham led U of M to a 22-8 record in his only season as player/coach. At this time, the Tigers were members of the Scholastic League and finished second in 1920-21. X The second-winningest coach in Memphis history is Zach Curlin, who began his coaching career in 1924. Curlin was Mr. Everything, coaching basketball, baseball and football for 23 years at Memphis, while also serving as director of athletics and physical education. The Tigers lost to Memphis YMCA on Feb. 27, 1925, for the city championship. X In the Jan. 25, 1925, Commercial Appeal, it was stated that “popular prices” for Tiger games would be 50 cents for adults and 25 cents for students and children. X In 1928, the Tigers played their first season in the Mississippi Valley Conference and wound up playing in the title game against UT Martin Junior College. UT Martin won the game 3837. X The West Tennessee State Normal Tigers began the 1929 season playing in Memorial Gym, the school’s new $100,000 on campus facility. The first game in the new gym was against Cumberland College on Jan. 14, 1929, and the Tigers won 40-27. Normal’s best player, Slick Headden, was suspended for an infraction of training rules and did not play in the contest. That year, the Tigers finished second in the Mississippi Valley Conference and placed three players on the All-Conference team.
Jackson, Tenn., the Tigers were scheduled to play Sunflower Junior College, but Sunflower withdrew from the tourney. Officials of the tournament prepared to rearrange the bracket to give the Tigers another opening round opponent. Curlin threatened to withdraw from the tournament because he thought the Tigers were entitled to a bye. Curlin, however, decided to play UT Martin and won 44-25. X The Tigers upset Jacksonville (Ala.) on January 22, 1937, at Memorial Gym. The win was big because all of Jacksonville’s players were over six-feet tall, including its center who stood 6-5. The Tigers’ tallest player was 6-2. X On March 10, 1937, the Commercial Appeal wrote that Curlin, who had coached football for 15 years, would coach only basketball and serve as athletic director. X The 1937-38 team had the dubious distinction of losing all 14 games it played. It stands as the only winless season in Tiger basketball history.

1950-59
X The 1950s was a time when University of Memphis basketball grew into a household name thanks in part to head coach Eugene Lambert. Lambert, who was assisted by “Stormin’” Norman Sloan, led the Tigers to their first-ever NCAA appearance in 1955, where they fell to Penn State in the first round. Lambert took the Tigers to a second-straight NCAA appearance in 1956. That year, the Tigers lost to Oklahoma City in the first round, as Memphis was forced to play without four starters (Forest Arnold, Win Wilfong, Ken Caldwell and Orby Arnold) because of NCAA rules on freshmen and fouryear men. During Lambert’s five years at the helm, the Tigers had four winning seasons and two 20-win campaigns. X On Dec. 3, 1950, in a win over NATTC, substitute guard Roy Darnell received the honor of scoring the 100th point of the game for the Tigers with two minutes left. It marked the first time in school history a Tiger team had reached the century mark. X On Dec. 6, 1951, the Tigers open up their home season at the new $700,000 Fieldhouse gymnasium against Mississippi State in front of 3,500 spectators. The Bulldogs spoiled Memphis’ opener 60-58. The gym was officially dedicated on Feb. 11, 1952, as Governor Gordon Browning delivered a speech prior to the game with Ole Miss. X On Dec. 15, 1951, the Tigers started their longest road trip in school history by playing at Idaho. The trip lasted a solid month, and Memphis played 13 games in six different states — Idaho, Washington, Oregon, Hawaii, Alabama and Mississippi. During the 13-game span, Memphis went 7-6. The Tigers spent Christmas in Spokane, Wash., before hopping a plane to Hawaii on Dec. 30. The trip also included the program’s first-ever plane ride. X Memphis won the 1952 Tennessee NAIB basketball crown with a 45-38 win over Tennessee Tech at Cookeville. The Tigers earned the right to play in the National Tournament in Kansas City, Mo., where they defeated Baltimore 60-39, before being ousted by Portland 72-48 in the second round. X Following the 1952 season, John Wallisa became the first-ever Memphis player to be drafted by the NBA. Wallesea went to the Minneapolis Lakers. X Memphis took on the No. 1 ranked Pirates of Seton Hall in South Orange, N.J., on Jan. 22, 1953. The Tigers fell to the mighty Pirates, 103-85. The 85 points scored by Memphis were the most tallied by an opponent against Seton Hall up to that point. While on their trip east, the Tigers played an exhibition game against the Knickerbockers, a professional team, at
Madison Square Garden. X Memphis defeated No. 4 Marshall College 104-85 at the Fieldhouse. X In 1954, Lambert had the privilege to coach the first-ever Memphis All-American in Forrest Arnold. Arnold, who ranks fourth on Memphis’ all-time scoring list, helped lead the Tigers to 62 wins in his four-year career. One highlight of his sterling career, was a school-record (at the time) 46-point game against Hardin-Simmons in the old Fieldhouse. X Memphis upsets nationally-ranked Mississippi State 94-68, as legendary coach Adolph Rupp scouts the Bulldogs. Rupp’s Kentucky squad was ranked No. 1 at the time. A reporter asked Rupp about the Tigers and Rupp responded by saying “no comment.” X Season tickets for the 1955-56 campaign were $10 for 10 games.
81-78. The Tigers were ranked 16th following the win over the Cards. Three nights later at the Fieldhouse, Memphis upset No. 20 Western Kentucky 86-84. X The 1957 NIT marked a number of firsts for the Tigers. It was the school’s first appearance in the NIT, first official game at the famed Madison Square Garden, and the Utah contest in the opening round was Memphis’ first nationallytelevised game. X Over 200 Memphis students piled into five chartered buses for the 17-hour ride to New York to watch their Tigers in the NIT. Another 300 fans were expected to make the trip in private cars. The bus arrived at the arena during halftime of Memphis’ thrilling overtime win over St. Bonaventure. Bob Swander sank a last second shot as Memphis won 80-78, giving the Tigers the right to play Bradley for the title. Against
Bob Hope greeted the Tigers at Paramount Studios during Memphis’ trip to the Pacific in 1951.
X Bob Vanatta came to Memphis after serving as athletic director at Bradley. During his six seasons at The U of M, Vanatta had a record of 109-34 and led the Tigers to three NITs and one NCAA appearance. X The 1956-57 season turned out to be a special year for the Tigers. Not only was there a name change, but first-year coach Bob Vanatta took a cinderella team to the finals of the NIT in New York City. From that point, the name Memphis took on a different meaning. It was one of the most important years in Tiger basketball history. X Memphis was ranked No. 12 in the nation on Jan. 5, 1956. X On Jan. 11, 1956, the biggest crowd (4,000) in Memphis history saw the Tigers defeat Western Kentucky 80-64 at the Fieldhouse. More than 1,000 fans were turned away at the door. X Some say the true arrival of Memphis basketball came on Feb. 2, 1957, when the Tigers upset No. 3 ranked Louisville at the Ellis Auditorium

Bradley, Win Wilfong scored 31 points and was named MVP of the tournament. The Tigers lost the game, however, 84-83. On Mar. 24, the Tigers returned home as 2,000 fans, including Elvis Presley, greeted the team at Municipal Airport. On July 1, 1957, Memphis State College became Memphis State University. Memphis wins the prestigious 1957 Sugar Bowl Tournament on Dec. 30 with a 47-46 upset win over sixth-ranked Maryland in three overtimes. The Tigers upended Loyola-New Orleans the night before, 65-63. One of the finest players in Tiger history was Win Wilfong, who played from 1955-57. Wilfong scored 1,203 points in just two seasons to put him 22nd on Memphis’ all-time scoring chart. Wilfong was a first team ConverseAll-American in 1957.

1970-79
X The 1970s saw the arrival of Memphis basketball to the national scene. The decade brought with it new coach Gene Bartow, and immediately he parlayed experienced players like James Douglas, Don Holcomb and Fred Horton with two young budding stars in Larry Finch and Ronnie Robinson. Bartow, who coached the previous six seasons at Valparaiso, promised a wide-open style of basketball along with a zone press defense and some man-to-man. X In his first game as a Tiger in 1970, Finch scored 24 points and let Tiger fans know instantly they had a special player when he swished a 25-foot jump shot just five seconds into the game. X Following Memphis’ stirring 78-75 upset of Louisville on Jan. 9, 1971, the Tigers jumped into the Top 20 for the first time in a decade. On Jan. 15, the Tigers, with an 11-2 record, found themselves ranked 19th in the AP poll. X The 1971-72 season marked the first for public address announcer Fred Cook. Cook worked his first game against Missouri-Rolla that year

and would go on to enjoy a long relationship with the Tigers. X In what some called at the time “the greatest game ever played in the Mid-South Coliseum,” Memphis fell to No. 2 ranked Marquette 74-73 on Dec. 7, 1971. The Tigers enjoyed a five-point lead in the final minute of play, but a lane violation, missed free throw and a desperation basket on the game’s final play gave Al McGuire's team the victory. X On Feb. 2, 1972, 17,000 fans were waiting when the Tigers took the court in Louisville’s Freedom Hall. It was a place where Memphis had never won in nine previous tries. Thanks to the scoring of Finch and the rebounding of Robinson, the Tigers defeated Louisville 77-69 to grab a share of the lead in the Missouri Valley Conference. Due to identical 12-2 conference marks, Memphis and Louisville played a playoff game on Mar. 11, 1972, in Nashville to determine which Missouri Valley team would represent the league in the NCAA Midwest Regional. Memphis lost to the Cardinals 83-72, and had to settle for its fifth NIT appearance. X Perhaps the most remembered season in Tiger basketball history and the one that put Memphis State on the map permanently, was the 1972-73 campaign led by Finch, Robinson, Bill Laurie and newcomers Larry Kenon, Billy Buford, West Westfall and Bill Cook. The Tigers reeled off 14-straight wins during one stretch, captured the Missouri Valley title and received the school’s first bid to the NCAA tournament since 1962. Playing in the regional finals in Houston, Texas, the Tigers knocked off South Carolina and Kansas State to advance to the Final Four for the first time in school history. The Tigers defeated Providence in the semifinals and earned a spot in the title game against the powerful UCLA Bruins, led by Bill Walton. The Tigers battled the mighty Bruins to a 39-39 halftime tie, but Walton was too much in the second half as

X Bob Vanatta accepted the head coaching position at the University of Missouri in 1962 and long time assistant, Dean Ehlers, became the Tigers’ eighth head coach. In his first year, the Tigers went 19-7 and received a bid to the NIT at Madison Square Garden. The Tigers were led that season by Larry Garber, Jamie McMahan, Hunter Beckman, John Hillman, Bob Neuman and King George Kirk. X In 1961, Wayne Yates was voted by the Philadelphia Sportswriters as the best player to play in the Philadelphia area all season. Yates scored 25 points and ripped down 23 rebounds in a 78-74 win at Villanova. X On Feb. 19, 1963, the Tigers played Dayton in front of a packed Fieldhouse. In fact, the fire marshalls stopped the game for several minutes to clear the aisles. At the time, Big Jack Eaton, the “Voice of the Tigers,” was at a loss for words and did not have any interviews to fill the interrupted broadcast. So what did Big Jack do? He resorted to singing. Eaton was the “Voice of the Tigers” from 1959 to 1987. By the way, the Tigers won the game 61-59 when Jamie McMahan tipped in a missed shot. X The final season at the Fieldhouse was highlighted by Memphis’ startling 83-65 win over No. 2 ranked Loyola-Chicago before a standing room crowd of 4,000 on Jan. 20, 1964. The final official game ever played in the Fieldhouse was on Feb. 26, 1964, when Memphis fell to Xavier 99-86. Prior to the 1964-65 season, however, the Tigers said good-bye to the Fieldhouse for good when they played the annual Blue-Gray game before a packed house. X During the early 1960s, it was decided that Memphis needed a new facility to showcase its basketball program. In December of 1964, the 11,200-seat Mid-South Coliseum opened. The Tigers hosted Texas A&M in the first collegiate game ever played in the building and U of M defeated the Aggies 82-73 before 8,763 fans. X Memphis began the 1965-66 season south of the border with exhibition games in Mexico City against Mexico Poly, National Physical Education School, LaSalle and the University of Americas. X In 1965, the Rebounders Club was officially formed to help promote Tiger basketball on a fulltime basis. The organization, which is in its 40th year, has over 500 members. X In 1966, Moe Iba became the Tigers’ ninth head
coach. In Iba’s first year, the Tigers earned a trip to the 1967 NIT. That was the last tournament to be played in the old Madison Square Garden. Also on May 19, 1966, the Tigers became a member of the Missouri Valley Conference, making them the 24th school to enter the Missouri Valley family. The conference would later be referred to as “The Valley of Death” because no win came easy in the Valley. X Iba was noted for his disciplinarian and hardworking style which was not the only factors that brought the multitude of basketball enthusiasts to the games. Iba’s vivid personality accounted for the sale of many tickets. As one supporter put it in 1966: “I’d pay two bucks just to see Iba.”

Memphis takes on UCLA in the championship game of the 1973 NCAA Tournament.
UCLA defeated the Tigers 87-66. Walton hit an NCAA Tournament record 21 of 22 shots and scored 44 points to pace the Bruins. Finch and Kenon were the only Tigers to score in double figures. Finch netted 29 and Kenon tallied 20. Also that season, head coach Gene Bartow was named NABC National Coach of the Year. X Larry Finch, Memphis’ head coach from 1986 to 1997, rewrote the Memphis record book in 1973 claiming nine of 13 individual records. During his career, the 6-2 guard earned AllMissouri Valley Conference Team honors three times, MVC Player of the Year award in 1972 and 1973 and All-American accolades (seven teams). Finch’s sportsmanship on the court and his community involvement off combined to make him one of the best-loved players ever to wear the Blue and Gray. Finch’s number 21 is one of eight retired jerseys hanging in the rafters of FedExForum. X In 1973, the Memphis established the M Club Athletic Hall of Fame. Each year an annual induction ceremony is held during the fall and eight new members are installed. Since its inception, 39 former Tiger basketball players have been inducted into the M Club Hall of Fame. A complete list of basketball hall of famers is included in this section of the Memphis media guide. X In 1974, Gene Bartow left Memphis and former Tiger All-American Wayne Yates was hired to guide the basketball team. Yates had served as an assistant coach under Bartow. In his five years at the helm, Yates led the Tigers to three-straight 20-win seasons, one NCAA and two NITs. During his tenure, the Tiger roster read like a Who's Who of college basketball with the likes of Bill Cook, Dexter Reed, John Gunn, Marion Hillard, Clarence Jones, John Washington,Alvin Wright,
James Bradley, Dennis Isbell, Hank McDowell and Otis Jackson all contributing to the Tigers’ success. X On June 13, 1975, Memphis announced that it was joining with five other major universities in the formation of a new athletic conference. The following is a statement that was released by athletic director Billy J. Murphy: “We are very pleased to announce that our president, Dr. Billy M. Jones, has approved Memphis’entrance into a new major basketball conference, which will begin operation immediately. The official name of the new conference is the Metropolitan Collegiate Athletic Conference, and can be referred to as the MCAC or the Metro 6.” The Tigers joined with Cincinnati, Georgia Tech, Louisville, Saint Louis and Tulane. X Atragic event hit the Tiger basketball program in the winter of 1976 when, after only three games,
star player John Gunn was taken ill with a rare disease - Stevens-Johnson syndrome - and was admitted to the hospital on Dec. 11. Only 90 minutes before the tipoff of the Memphis-Ole Miss game on Dec. 21, at about 6:35 p.m., Gunn died from complications of the disease which attacks the body’s mucous membrane. “John Gunn was a great, strong competitor, full of life and energy,” athletic director Billy J. Murphy said. “It is very difficult to even imagine that he is gone. Our community and our University will miss him greatly. He fought with all his might to overcome this disease because that’s the type person he was. Now it is up to all of us to carry on. That’s the way John would have wanted it.” The remainder of the 1976-77 season was dedicated to Gunn, and the players wore black bands on their uniforms as a sign of mourning. X In 1979, Wayne Yates left Memphis and Dana Kirk was hired to direct the Tiger basketball program. Kirk had led Virginia Commonwealth to a 24-5 record during the 1978-79 season, and prior to three seasons at VCU, was an assistant coach for five years at Louisville. He hired two young assistants in Larry Finch, former Tiger head coach, and Lee Fowler, current athletic director at North Carolina State, to help structure the program.
1980-89
X In the 1980s, Memphis had such stars as Keith Lee, Elliot Perry, Andre Turner, Bobby Parks, Phillip “Doom” Haynes, Derrick Phillips, Baskerville Holmes, William Bedford, Willie Becton, VincentAskew, Dwight Boyd, Sylvester Gray and Marvin Alexander. The Tigers made eight postseason tournaments (7 NCAAs, one NIT) and registered a record of 230-87 (.726) during the decade.
Gene Bartow’s 1972 Memphis team was the first Tiger club in five years to advance to postseason play, accepting a bid to the National Invitation Tournament (NIT).

its second trip to the Final Four. The Tigers met Villanova in the semifinals in Lexington, Ky., and fell to the eventual champion 52-45. Memphis ended the year with 31 wins, the second-most ever in school history. The 1985-86 season got off to another flying start as the Tigers raced to a school record 20-0 start that included wins over nationally-ranked Kansas and Louisville. Memphis, ranked No. 2, traveled to Blacksburg, Va., to take on Virginia Tech, a team it had beaten by 22 points just five days earlier. But the Hokies handed the Tigers their first loss of the season 76-72. Memphis ended the year with a 28-6 mark and a final ranking of No. 7 by the Associated Press. After another NCAA appearance in 1986, Memphis basketball moved to a new era the following season, when it announced that former All-American guard Larry Finch would take over the reins as head coach. The announcement came on Sept. 25, 1986. In his first season, Finch inherited a team on probation and three key players lost to graduation and the NBA. No one expected him to win, so what did he do? Finch guided the Tigers to a 26-8 season, a Metro Tournament championship and was named Basketball Times Rookie Coach of the Year. With the Tigers on probation, Metro officials took a vote whether they should allow the Tigers to compete in the tournament. The vote was unanimous much to the chagrin of Louisville coach Denny Crum. “I don’t think anybody should be in the Metro Tourney if they are on probation,” said Crum. Memphis beat Cincinnati and South Carolina before beating Crum’s Cardinals 75-52 for the third time that year. Finch’s first season was also dubbed the “Sea-

son for Miracles” after Memphis’ numerous comeback victories. In the season opener against Cleveland State, the Tigers trailed with 10 minutes to play before mounting a 70-66 come-from-behind victory. In one of the most incredible wins in Tiger history, Memphis trailed Oral Roberts on the road by seven points with 15 seconds left in the game. The Tigers ended up winning when John Wilfong hit a last second three-pointer. Dubbed the “Cardiac Kids,” the Tigers forced Memphis officials to post signs warning people with heart conditions to not watch the Tigers play. After embarrassing Louisville on national television, New Orleans came to town and led the Tigers by eight points with under two minutes to play. Yes, you guessed it. Memphis reached into its bag of tricks and pulled out another miracle win on a last second shot by Wilfong. Memphis also went on to post come-from-behind victories over Southern Miss and South Carolina. X One of Finch’s first recruits as a head coach was the exciting Elliot Perry, who played for the Tigers from 1987-91. Perry, who had his jersey number 34 retired in 1992, is the second leading scorer in U of M history. X One of the unbelievable highlights of the 1988-89 season was a 24-0 start for the Tigers against eighth-ranked Louisville in Freedom Hall. Memphis, however, had to hang on to win 72-67. That same year, the Tigers made the NCAA field as a No. 5 seed, and Finch was named Metro Coach of the Year.
1990-99
X The decade of the 1990s got off to a sweet start when the No. 1 high school player in the nation, Anfernee Hardaway, inked with the Tigers. The 6-7 swingman from Memphis’ Treadwell High School, was the Parade Magazine National Player of the Year in 1990 after averaging 36.3 points, 10.1 rebounds, 6.2 assists and 3.3 steals a game. X Hardaway, however, had to sit and watch during the 1990-91 season because he was unable to play due to academic problems. Patiently waiting, Hardaway was struck with tragedy in April of 1991 when he was shot in the foot while being robbed. Hardaway missed summer workouts, but was ready when practice opened on Oct. 15 with the bullet still lodged in his foot. On Oct. 26, the bullet was removed after it had shifted to a spot that was advantageous for removal. Hardaway was back to 100 percent, but still a little rusty after all the missed time. X The 1990-91 season marked Memphis’ last in the Metro Conference as the Tigers prepared to move to the Great Midwest. The Tigers enjoyed 16 successful seasons in the Metro, recording an overall 134-85 mark in conference games. Memphis also collected three regular season
hiStOry
X The 1980s saw the great one-on-one battles of Keith Lee vs Hakeem Olajuwon, Keith Lee vs Patrick Ewing and Keith Lee vs Wayman Tisdale, not to mention the classic MemphisLouisville confrontations. X In 1981, Memphis signed a 6-11 basketball phenom from West Memphis, Ark., who would rewrite the Tiger basketball record book. Keith Lee, who had led West Memphis High School to two undefeated seasons, made an immediate impact on Memphis basketball. During his fouryear career, the Tigers went 104-24, made the NCAA Tournament four times, including one Final Four appearance in 1985, and claimed three Metro Tournament titles. X On Jan. 10, 1982, Memphis was voted the No. 1 ranked team in the country by both the Associated Press and UPI polls for the first time in school history. The ranking was short lived, however. That same night, Virginia Tech upset the Tigers in Blacksburg 69-56. X In the second round of the 1983 NCAA Tournament, Memphis took on Georgetown in a game that will never be forgotten by Tiger fans. It would be a battle of Keith Lee against Patrick Ewing. Lee owned Ewing on this day, scoring 28 points and grabbing 15 rebounds to lead the Tigers to a 66-57 victory. The win set up a regional matchup with No. 1 ranked Houston and Akeem Olajuwon. X The 1984-85 campaign would go down as another magical season for Tiger basketball. The Tigers breezed to a 24-3 regular season record and swept through the Metro Conference Tournament in Louisville before being sent to Houston, Texas, for the first round of the NCAAs. Memphis defeated Pennsylvania, UAB, Boston College and Oklahoma to earn

crowns and four tournament titles. The year also meant the end of the highly-competitive series with Louisville. Later that season, the Tigers closed out 27 years at the Mid-South Coliseum on a sour note by falling to Arkansas State 58-57 in the NIT second round. Memphis compiled a 343-90 (.792) record at the “Roundhouse,” including three unbeaten seasons (1981-82, 1984-85, 1985-86). The Memphis athletic department recognized and invited back all the players, coaches and administrators that were associated with the program during the Mid-South years, to the final regular season game against Virginia Tech. In the fall of 1990, Finch’s nephew, David Vaughn, inked with the Tigers. The 6-9 Vaughn, a McDonald's and Parade All-American, was rated one of the top five recruits in the country by some analysts. On Nov. 16, 1990, an official press conference was held at the Downtown Athletic Club in Chicago announcing the formation of the Great Midwest Conference. Along with Memphis, the other five charter members were UAB, Cincinnati, DePaul, Marquette and Saint Louis. The Memphis basketball took on a new look in 1991-92. Not only was it the beginning of the Hardaway/Vaughn era, but it also marked the first year in the Great Midwest Conference and the inaugural season in The Pyramid. Everything came together at once on Nov. 29, 1991, in the season opener against 20th-ranked DePaul. The game, televised by ESPN, was the first game for Hardaway and Vaughn, the first contest in The Pyramid and the first game between two Great Midwest foes. The Tigers, however, fell in overtime to the Blue Demons 92-89. The Tigers struggled early in 1991-92 and carried just an 8-6 record after the first half. But then Hardaway and Vaughn started to click, and Memphis won 10 of its last 13 regular season games, including victories over Vanderbilt, No. 5 ranked Arkansas and No. 21 ranked Tulane. Memphis made it all the way to the championship game of the inaugural GMC Tournament, before losing to 14th-ranked Cincinnati 69-59. Memphis’ season didn’t end there, as it earned a trip to the NCAAs as a No. 6 seed in the Midwest Regional at Milwaukee. In the opening round of the 1992 Tournament, the Tigers defeated Pepperdine to setup a second round game with sixth-ranked Arkansas. In a game filled with emotion, Memphis prevailed for the second time when David Vaughn hit the game-winner with five seconds left. Memphis advanced to the Sweet Sixteen and traveled to Kansas City, Mo., to meet Georgia Tech. It looked like the Tigers’ season would end when Yellow Jacket center Matt Geiger completed a three-point play with 36 seconds left to give Georgia Tech a 74-70 lead. Memphis, however, kept the faith and its poise as Billy Smith sent

The Tigers were in the Elite Eight, but it was short lived as conference foe Cincinnati ended Memphis’ run to the Final Four with an 88-57 win over the Blue and Gray. It marked the fourth time in 1991-92 that the Tigers had lost to the Bearcats. X Elliot Perry (1987-91) joined an elite club on Feb. 8, 1993, when Memphis retired his jersey in a pregame ceremony. Perry became the sixth Memphis player to be so honored. “He meant a lot to this program, and I’ll be forever grateful to the little guy,” former U of M coach Larry Finch said. “Everyone in America wanted him, but he stayed here. He’s a role model-type individual. Everybody that knew him loved him.” Perry graduated in May of 1992 with a degree in marketing.

with hundreds of more fans being turned away at the door. The highlight of the evening was Michael Wilson’s attempt to break the Vertical Height Dunk Record of 11 feet, seven inches. Wilson attempted a dunk of 11 feet, eight inches and fell about one half inch from successfully making the attempt. ESPN covered Wilson’s attempt. On Dec. 20, 1995, University of Memphis star Lorenzen Wright was named one of 10 finalists for the prestigious AAU Sullivan Award. Wright made the final cut from 36 nominees and was the only men's college basketball player to make the list. The AAU Sullivan Award is considered the “Oscar” among sports awards. On Feb. 20, 1996, Coach Larry Finch won his 200th career game with the Tigers’ 91-66 victory over Southern Miss. The win also assured Memphis of a first-round bye in the C-USA Tournament. Lorenzen Wright was taken as the seventh overall pick in the 1996 NBA Draft by the Los Angeles Clippers. Wright became just the third Tiger player to be a lottery pick. Wright left Memphis following his sophomore season. Michael Wilson, who played for the Tigers from 1994-96, became a member of the Harlem Globetrotters in August of 1996. Wilson, who started being pursued by the Globetrotters that March, is the first Tiger in school history to join the world travelling and entertaining basketball team. Following Memphis’ win over Southern Miss on January 30, 1997, Larry Finch announced at a press conference that he would be stepping

until it recorded three more victories. The reason for this discrepancy was because the NCAA did not acknowledge Memphis’ participation in the 1982, 1983, 1984, 1985 and 1986 NCAA Tournaments where the Tigers compiled a combined 9-5 record because of violations. Therefore, the NCAA showed the Tigers entering the 1993-94 season with an all-time mark of 997-632. The Tigers, however, recognize the games as being played and went on to celebrate their milestone victory. X Anfernee Hardaway became the highest drafted Memphis player ever when Golden State picked him as the third player in the first round of the NBA Draft on June 30, 1993. Hardaway, however, was a Warrior for just 20 minutes as Golden State traded him to Orlando for Chris Webber. The Magic also received first round picks in 1996, 1998 and 2000. “He was absolutely spectacular.

John Gunn
Nicknamed “Big John,” the late John Gunn was a valiant young man who won the hearts and genuine admiration of all. He was courageous, competitive and a winner. Gunn played on the Wayne Yates-coached teams from 1974 to 1976. As a freshman, Gunn averaged 12 points and 10 rebounds a game and played a big factor in Memphis’ impressive 20-7 record that included a trip to the NIT. That year his teammates voted him “Mr. Hustle.” As a sophomore, the 6-foot-9 Gunn averaged 10 points and eight rebounds. His career-high game was 25 points as a freshman against Buffalo State, but his best game was against Louisville his sophomore year in the Metro Tournament when he scored 18 points, grabbed 10 rebounds and blocked two shots. A tragic event then struck the Tiger basketball program at the start of the 1976-77 season. After just three games, Gunn was taken ill with a rare disease, Stevens-Johnson Syndrome, and admitted to the hospital. Ten days later on Dec.21, Gunn was pronounced dead at the age of 21 due to complications of the disease. Gunn attended Melrose High School, where he played for Coach Verties Sails. His senior year at Melrose, along with Tiger teammates Alvin Wright and James Bradley, the Wildcats were undefeated and won the Tennessee state championship with a 35-0 record. That same year, Gunn was chosen as one of the five best basketball prospects in the nation and was voted the Tennessee Player of the Year.
21 Larry Finch
When you think of University of Memphis basketball, you immediately think of Larry Finch. The legendary player, assistant coach and former head coach was synonymous with Tiger basketball for 25 years. Finch’s jersey was retired on Nov. 30, 1974. Finch, who competed in over 500 games as a Tiger player and coach combined, ranks fourth behind former Tiger stars Keith Lee, Elliot Perry and Rodney Carney on the Memphis all-time scor-

ing list with 1,869 points. Finch was the catalyst in Memphis reaching the NCAA Final Four for the first time ever in 1973, when the Tigers lost to UCLA and Bill Walton in the national finals. During the 1973 tournament, Finch averaged 26.8 points a game, including 29 against the Bruins. In Finch’s three years at Memphis, the Tigers put together a record of 63-21 and either won or tied for two Missouri Valley Conference Championships. He earned honorable mention All-American honors from both the Associated Press and United Press International, and was named to four other All-American teams his senior season after breaking nine individual the U of M records at the time. Finch was also the Missouri Valley Conference Player of the Year in 1972 and the conference’s Newcomer of the Year in 1971. Finch, who holds the record for most points scored in a game, is still ranked in the top five in over 20 different statistical categories.

Ronnie Robinson One of the best rebounders in Tiger history, the late Ronnie “Big Cat” Robinson teamed with Larry Finch to lead Memphis to the 1973 Final Four. Robinson played on the varsity team from 1970-73 under Coach Gene Bartow. Robinson, a Tiger All-American, came to Memphis from Melrose High School with his life-long friend and teammate Finch. Together, they rewrote the U of M basketball record book and led the team to its finest moment. In the U of M’s run to the title game against UCLA, Robinson averaged 14.0 rebounds a game and had three double-doubles in the Tigers’ four tournament outings. He pulled down 17 boards against South Carolina, 16 versus Kansas State and Providence and seven in the loss to the Bruins. Robinson was a three-year starter who worked as both a center and forward. He averaged in double figures in both scoring and rebounding throughout his career and still holds the distinction of being the one of only four Tigers to have scored 1,000 points and have 1,000 rebounds. Against Tulsa in 1971, Robinson scored a career-high 30 points and, ironically, set the school rebounding record in the same game with 28 boards. Robinson had three other games in his career in which he collected 24 caroms. He was a threetime All-Missouri Valley Conference selection, was named to the Vanderbilt Classic and Sun Bowl All-Tournament teams and received All-America
hiStOry
The late Win Wilfong, who stands 22nd on the University of Memphis’ all-time scoring list with 1,203 points, played basketball for the Tigers from 1955-57 and led the Tigers to a 44-13 mark. Wilfong played under coaches Eugene Lambert and Bob Vanatta and was considered, at the time, the best player in Tiger history. Wilfong, a versatile player, could do it all in his time — score, rebound and handle the basketball. In the U of M record book, he currently stands in the top 10 in several different statistical categories. For his career, Wilfong averaged 21.5 points and 12.3 rebounds a game. In the 1955-56 season against Union, Wilfong poured in 40 points, which stands as the seventh-most in a single game at the U of M. In fact, Wilfong had 30 or more points in 11 different games during his career. In the 1956-57 season, which some say was the true arrival of Memphis basketball, Wilfong led the Tigers to their first NIT bid at famed Madison Square Garden. The Tigers opened up with a 77-75 win over Utah in the U of M’s first-ever nationally-televised game. Two nights later, the Tigers upended Manhattan 85-73, and then slipped past St. Bonaventure 80-78 on a last second shot. In the title game against Bradley, Wilfong scored 31 points and was named MVP. The Tigers, however, lost the game 84-83. Also in 1957, Wilfong became the U of M’s first-ever first team All-American when he was named to the Converse All-American first team. In 1956, he was honored by United Press International as an honorable mention All-American.

honors (Converse and Basketball News) as a senior. Robinson is the school’s second all-time field goal percentage leader (57.7) and is the fourth all-time leading rebounder with 1,066 boards. As a junior, Robinson finished ninth in the nation in field goal percentage. Robinson, who stands 27th on Memphis’ all-time scoring list with 1,150 points, was drafted in the fourth round of the NBA Draft by the Phoenix Suns in 1973, but ended up signing with the Memphis Tams of the ABA.

Keith Lee
Prior to the arrival of Anfernee Hardaway, Keith Lee was considered the best to have ever donned the Blue and Gray. Lee, who gave the Tigers instant success, playing on Memphis teams from 1981-85. Lee was arguably the most successful Tiger. During his four years, Memphis compiled a 104-24 (.813) record, made four-straight NCAA appearances, including one Final Four, guided the Tigers to three Metro Conference tournament titles, led Memphis to a then school-record 31 wins in 1984-85 and helped put the Tigers in the final AP Top 20 poll all four seasons. The U of M was rated fifth in 1985. As for his individual accomplishments, Lee was an AP All-American four years in a row, a consensus first team All-American in 1985, the Metro Conference Player of the Year in 1982 and 1985, the Metro Conference Tournament MVP in 1982 and 1984, the Metro Conference Freshman of the Year in 1982 and was first team All-Metro all four years. Also during his career, Lee was chosen to All-America teams by UPI, Converse, The Sporting News, Basketball Weekly, USBWA, Basketball Times, ESPN and NABC. Lee is Memphis’ all-time leading scorer with 2,408 career points and the school’s all-time leading rebounder with 1,336 career boards. The 6-foot-11 center’s finest year was 198485 when he put the Tigers into the Final Four in Lexington, Ky. Lee led the Tigers to a 24-3 regular season record and a Metro Conference Tournament title. Following his senior season, Lee was taken in the first round of the NBA Draft by the Chicago Bulls as the 11th overall pick.
34
Elliot Perry Elliot Perry, who is the University of Memphis second all-time leading scorer, was one of the finest point guards to ever play for the Tigers. The 6-foot, 150-pound Perry, led the Tigers to four-straight postseason tournaments and 76 wins. Perry, who played and started every game of his career, paced the Tigers in scoring, assists and steals three years in a row. Coming out of Treadwell High School, Perry was rated one of the best players in the country. He averaged 34.5 points a game as a prep senior and was named the Tennessee state Player of the Year and was tabbed a McDonald’s All-American. He didn’t let up as a Tiger either. In his freshman season, Perry put the team on his shoulders and led them to a 20-12 record and an NCAA bid. That year, Perry was named Metro Conference Freshman of the Year and was considered the top freshman point guard in the country by Sport Magazine. In Perry’s senior season, the little guy led the Metro Conference in scoring with a 20.8 average and steals with 85. Perry was voted first team All-Metro Conference and finished second in the Metro Player of the Year tabulation. Perry also became Memphis’ and the Metro Conference’s career leader in steals with 300 and became just the 10th player in NCAA history to collect as many. He also hit game-winning buzzer shots against Florida State and Miami and hit a threepointer at the buzzer to send the East Tennessee game into overtime. Against ETSU, Perry scored a career-high 42 points. For his career, Perry is ranked in the top 10 in over 25 different statistical categories. Perry’s number 34 jersey was retired in February of 1992.

Anfernee Hardaway The most electrifying player in Tiger history, Anfernee “Penny” Hardaway became the seventh player to have his jersey retired when the University of Memphis honored him on Jan. 23, 1994. Hardaway, who last played with the New
RINGS OF SUCCESS
York Knicks in 2005-06, enjoyed a fabulous two seasons with the Tigers by leading the squad to two-straight NCAA appearances, including an Elite Eight showing in 1992. For his career, Hardaway guided the Tigers to a 43-23 record (.652), eight wins over nationally-ranked teams and recorded the school’s first-ever triple-doubles. His two-season scoring numbers are good enough to be tied for 14th-best all-time and he set numerous other records in just 66 games. The people who were fortunate enough to see the consensus All-American and two-time Great Midwest Conference Player of the Year should cherish those moments forever. He could do it all on the basketball court — score, pass, rebound, block shots, collect timely steals and bring a crowd to its feet with electrifying slam dunks. Hardaway also had the ability to make at least one play every game that would leave an entire crowd, at home or on the road, shaking their heads in total amazement. He was truly a special player. Hardaway, who followed the Tigers on their two NCAA Tournament runs in 2007 and 2008, gave back to Memphis in the summer of 2008, as his contributions will open the U of M’s Hardaway Athletic Hall of Fame.

Forest Arnold On January 14, 1995, the University of Memphis recognized former Tiger great Forest Arnold by retiring his jersey No. 13 in pregame ceremonies. Arnold, who played for the Tigers from 195256, was the first-ever All-American in school history. During his career, Arnold helped lead the Tigers to 62 wins, including the school’s first-ever NCAA appearance in 1955 against Penn State. Arnold is the school’s fifth all-time leading scorer with 1,854 career points and ranks as Memphis’ third career rebounding leader with 1,109. Arnold is one of just four players in Memphis basketball history to score more than 1,000 points and grab more than 1,000 rebounds. One of many highlights during his sterling career was a school-record (at the time) 46point game against Hardin-Simmons in the old Fieldhouse. Arnold currently resides in Springfield, Mo., with his wife, Virginia Lee. The couple has four children. Arnold is a minister and professor at Central Bible College in Springfield. 2008-09 U
