2011 OUTLOOK
When the Ole Miss volleyball team takes the court to start the 2011 season, it will be driven by a feeling of unfinished business from the 2010 season – a year that saw the program advance to the NCAA Tournament for the third time in five seasons and see its first AllAmerican in school history. Most might wonder how a team who made it to the postseason for only the third time in school history and saw the program’s first AllAmerica selection could feel anything was left unfinished, but that’s exactly the chip the 2011 squad carries on its shoulder. “We had a good year and overcame some obstacles along the way, but we didn’t finish how we felt we could have,” said Ole Miss head coach Joe Getzin. “It was a sore spot for us all spring. We talked about it and the players really responded to what it takes to get to that next level. We have 11 returning players who all spent the summer here putting time in the gym on their own, and I think we’re in a good spot.” The Rebels have their sights set on claiming a Western Division title, competing for the overall SEC Championship and picking up the program’s first NCAA Tournament victory as part of a run in the postseason championship. The keys to achieving those goals lie in a
few primary areas as far as the coaching staff is concerned. “We have to stay healthy. That will be a crucial part of our game plan,” Getzin said. “Our second key to success has to be our first contact. You have to serve and pass well – and that has been a strength of our team. We’ll also have to play at a consistent level. That will be the key for us winning matches.” MIDDLE BLOCKER Two big pieces of the puzzle are back for the upcoming season with the return of middle blockers Regina Thomas and Courtney Cunningham to the lineup – both of whom suffered ACL tears that ended their seasons early a year ago. Despite missing the final three weeks of the regular season and the first round match of the NCAA Tournament after tearing her ACL in October, Thomas became the program’s first All-America honoree for her performance in 2010. The 6-0 middle hit .421 on the year and averaged 2.53 kills to go along with 1.16 blocks per set as one of the top hitters in the country. She stepped that performance up even higher in conference play, hitting at a .451 clip to lead the league in that category by
a large margin. Cunningham was coming on strong for the Rebels in her sophomore season when she went down with injury following the first weekend of conference play in September. The 6-1 middle had put down a career-high 8.0 blocks just a little over a week before the injury that ended her season. “We have some experience coming back despite the unfortunate injuries last year,” Getzin said. “Both Regina and Courtney rehabbed really hard and are close to being back to 100 percent. When you can bring back that level of player with that experience, you’re in a pretty good spot.” Also looking for playing time in the middle is sophomore Kellie Goss who got some playing time at the position due to the injuries to Thomas and Cunningham a year ago. An injury to incoming freshman Ty Laporte in preseason practice will also keep Goss at the middle blocker position for 2011. A year ago as a freshman, Goss saw action in 12 matches and played in 32 sets with 22 kills and 26 blocks, as she put in time at blocker and hitter. OUTSIDE HITTER When looking at the outside hitters, the

time in her career,” Getzin said. “She’s done a good job of responding to that. She was fortunate enough to play with the A2 team for two weeks, and it was a great experience for her. She learned a lot about herself and got to see what happens at that next level. Because of that, she’s in a better spot for us in the upcoming season.” SETTER
Regina Thomas Rebels might find that being the deepest position on the roster heading into the 2011 campaign. Returning are a pair of players who saw significant playing time a year ago in junior Whitney Craven and sophomore Kara Morgan. Joining them in the fight for playing time are junior Ashley Anderson and sophomore Kiley Sherman. Craven led the outside hitters a year ago and paced the team in kills with a team-high 324 kills and averaged close to three kills per set. She also came up with 280 digs, the second most on the team, as the athlete plays a full rotation. Craven played in every set of every match of the season after earning SEC All-Freshman honors in 2009. Morgan got her legs under her during her freshman campaign, playing in 109 of 112 sets and seeing action in all 30 matches of the season. She tallied 154 kills and averaged almost a kill and a half per set while also coming up with 147 digs on the year. “We’ve seen a ton of progress from Kara Morgan, Ashley Anderson and Kiley Sherman,” Getzin said. “That’s the one position where we have depth and the depth is closer to the top than it has been.”

tion throughout her freshman and sophomore seasons. A year ago, Wells was second on the team with 274 kills while hitting at a .201 clip. She also put down 74 blocks, the third most on the team. This past summer, Wells took another step in her growth as a Division I volleyball player, competing with the USA Volleyball A2 National Team. That experience leads the coaching staff to believe she will be an even more integral part of the puzzle this season. “Allegra really had a great spring, and we allowed her to play all six rotations for the first
Amanda Philpot, who transferred into the program a year ago, returns as the starting setter for the Rebels this year. Last season Philpot moved into the starting role and acquitted herself well, averaging eight assists, two digs and a kill per set on the season. She posted a pair of triple-doubles and earned SEC Player of the Week honors after helping the Rebels claim a come-from-behind win on the road at Alabama. Philpot also came up a kill shy of a tripledouble two other times on the season as she grew into a versatile part of the Rebel offense. “We’ve been really blessed at this position,” Getzin said. “Amanda is a year wiser and in great physical shape, so she’s playing really well for us right now.” A pair of incoming freshmen look to backup Philpot and factor into the season despite an early setback with preseason surgery for

Skylar Johnson. Johnson, who was treated for compartment syndrome, is expected back by the start of conference play. The 6-1 freshman helped lead her high school to a state championship in Colorado a year ago and was named one of the top 250 seniors to watch by PrepVolleyball.com last year. Rachael McLamore, another freshman, has been a big boost for the Rebels in the preseason after the surgery for Johnson. McLamore has played a variety of roles for the squad, working at both setter and defensive specialist. “Rachael has played a huge role for us in the preseason,” Getzin said. “We’ve been able to utilize her in a couple of different positions, and she’s been a pleasant surprise for us.” DEFENSIVE SPECIALIST The position of defensive specialist is the other spot on the floor that sees a senior return to help lead the Rebels in 2011 with Morgan Springer playing the role of the starting libero. Springer started the past two seasons at libero and saw significant playing time at the position as a freshman, which brings a stability to the floor with a second leader who has been
through the intense competition. In her junior season, Springer tallied 513 digs, averaging 4.62 digs per set and also averaged almost an assist per set from the libero position. “The libero has become such an important role in today’s volleyball, and to have someone of Morgan’s ability is a feather in our cap,” Getzin said. “She’s grown as a leader on this team and it’s always good to have a senior in that role.” Also helping anchor the defense for the Rebels are junior Ashley Veach and incoming freshman Lara Ontko. Last season, Veach saw action in 92 sets and played in 29 of the squad’s 30 matches. She came up with a career-high 20 digs in a come-from-behind win at Alabama last season on her way to 168 digs on the year. Ontko comes to the Rebels from Benet Academy in the Chicago area where she helped lead her team to a Regional Championship and was also selected as an All-Area selection and named to the UnderArmour High School AllAmerica watch list. “Ashley has always performed very well for us in any given situation. It’s nice to have that kind of backup,” Getzin said. “Lara brings a great amount of experience with her, and I
expect to see her contributing as well.” COACHING STAFF For the second season in a row, the Rebels have a new face on the coaching staff after a previous member left to take a head position at another university. Shannon Wells joined the squad last season after Molly Alvey departed to lead the Houston program. This season, Sean Burdette joins the Rebel staff to replace Bill Egbert who was tabbed to take the head job at Austin Peay. Burdette comes to the Rebels after having served as a head coach at Bradley University. Prior to that, he served as an assistant coach and recruiting coordinator at Ohio State. He has also made stops at Pittsburgh and Towson over the years. “I think we found a wonderful fit for our program in Sean,” Getzin said. “He brings head coaching experience and assistant coach and recruiting experience with him. He also brings some great training skills to the table. He’s been a natural fit for our program, and it’s been a seamless transition from last year. “Shannon has done such a great job of being our recruiting coordinator and getting top level players here and interested in Ole

Miss,” Getzin said. “She’s a great floor coach and brings a lot of intensity to the floor. The kids respond to that and you’ll see a much scrappier Ole Miss team because of that.” THE 2011 SCHEDULE With all of the pieces seeming to be in place, perhaps one of the toughest challenges in front of the Rebels might be the schedule. Ole Miss wastes no time before jumping into the fire, opening the season on the road at the Burnt Orange Classic at the University of Texas. The Rebels will face Pepperdine and fourth-ranked Texas to open the season after playing an exhibition match against the Israeli National Team on the first night of the tournament. “I was very aggressive with our scheduling this season,” Getzin said. “It’s a tough opening weekend and we’ll know where we stand pretty early. This is a team that I wanted to test early and make sure they understand my expectations for them and their own expectations for themselves.” Ole Miss then continues play on the road at the University of Louisville, facing a rejuvenated Cardinal squad under first-year head coach and former player Anne Cordes. The 3 NCAA TOURNAMENT APPEARANCES
Cardinals were picked to claim the Big East title in the preseason. Also competing at the event are perennial top-25 team Wichita State and Eastern Illinois. The Rebels then return home to host the Magnolia Invitational. In the home event, Ole Miss will take on 2010 NCAA Tournament participant Northwestern before facing defending conference champion Central Arkansas and UALR.
It gets no easier from there, as the Rebels jump into Southeastern Conference play the next week with Western Division rival LSU – the team picked ahead of Ole Miss in the Western Division standings in the preseason by the league’s coaches. “It’s a great early season slate to prepare us for play in the Southeastern Conference,” Getzin said. “We jump right out of the gates in conference play with LSU, and if we’re going to achieve our goal of a Western Division championship it will start that weekend with the match against the Tigers.” The Rebels will face five NCAA Tournament teams from a year ago within conference play, accounting for 10 contests in the round robin format the SEC uses. Ole Miss will face defending SEC Champion Florida, Auburn, Kentucky, LSU and Tennessee in contests both at home and on the road. In the first pass through the conference slate. the Rebels get home contests with LSU - who is picked to win the Western Division Arkansas, Mississippi State, Florida and South Carolina. The second half of the conference schedule will see Ole MIss face those teams on the road and welcome Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama, Auburn and Georgia to the Gillom Center after a first meeting on the road.

JOE
GETZIN HEAD COACH
10TH YEAR GEORGE WILLIAMS, 1986 Three NCAA Tournament appearances, four All-Region selections, seven selections to an All-SEC team and the program’s first AllAmerican ... that’s what Joe Getzin has done over the last five seasons as he has brought Rebel volleyball to the forefront of the SEC in his tenure as head coach. When Getzin was hired as the sixth head coach of the volleyball program at Ole Miss in 2002, it was with sights fixed on the goal of taking a program that had experienced success in the past and moving it to the next level. Getzin took the reins of the Rebels with a reputation as a recruiter, a necessary piece of the puzzle to building a program. He hit the ground running, put together an outstanding coaching staff and turned recruiting up a notch, filling the roster with athletes that include All-State and All-America selections. Just two years ago, Getzin pulled in the 23rd-ranked recruiting class in the nation

according to PrepVolleyball - the first ranked recruiting class in Ole Miss history. The results of those recruiting efforts have never been more clear. Nine years after taking control of the squad, the Rebel volleyball program is coming off three appearances in the NCAA Tournament over the last five years and a pair of recordsetting seasons. The pieces of the puzzle are falling into place under Getzin, who has twice been named Southeastern Conference Coach of the Year and a finalist for National Coach of the Year in 2006. “When we hired Joe nine years ago, our goal was to accomplish exactly what we have seen the past few seasons,” said Lynnette Johnson, Senior Associate Athletics Director. “Our goal was to compete at a high level in the Southeastern Conference, go to the NCAA Tournament and compete for championships. We wanted to put Ole Miss Volleyball on the map. We’re there now, and we are excited about
continuing to build on the groundwork laid as we continue to get better.” “It’s exciting to finally see the hard work paying off.” Getzin said. “When I was hired, I knew Ole Miss had a lot to offer and was truly a diamond in the rough. It’s great to see all of the pieces start falling into place. I look forward to continuing to build on that.” In addition to quality recruiting, the Getzin era has seen facility improvements, increased attendance and excitement at home matches. With these elements in place and a continued commitment from the administration, Getzin and Ole Miss have the foundation laid to sustain success. Most recently, Ole Miss completed a new renovation to the Gillom Center in 2010. The Rebels moved the court and added 350 chairback seats to completely surround the court and add to the frenzied excitement that has become Rebel Volleyball at the Gillom Center. Over the last five seasons, the Rebels have seen the work in laying that foundation pay off. Under Getzin’s tutelage the Rebels have seen four All-SEC selections Jaclyn Toohey (2006) Rachel Kieckhaefer (2007, 2008) and Regina Thomas (2010), as well as three All-Freshman team selections in Whitney Craven (2009), Thomas (2008) and Jackie Jones (2007). Toohey and Kieckhaefer also earned All-Region honors in 2006 and 2007, respectively, while helping lead the Rebels to back-to-back NCAA Tournament appearances. The Rebels returned to the NCAA Tournament for the third time in 2010 behind the play of a pair of All-Region selections in Miranda Kitts and Thomas. The return trip to the post-

nalist for National Coach of the Year. The 2006 season also saw a Rebel earn All-SEC honors for the first time since 2000 as senior captain Jaclyn Toohey was named to the All-SEC second team, marking the first player to receive all-conference honors under Getzin at Ole Miss. Toohey was also named All-South Honorable Mention by the AVCA. LAYING THE FOUNDATION AT OLE MISS
season wasn’t the only feather added to the Getzin era’s cap last season, as Thomas also became the program’s first All-American when she was selected for third team honors by the American Volleyball Coaches Association. The achievements in the 2010 season were an extension of the base established just five short years earlier as the pieces of the puzzle all began to fall into place. BACK-TO-BACK RECORD SEASONS In his first four seasons, Getzin showed fans that the excitement of Ole Miss Volleyball was returning. The fans bought into that and created a frenzied environment each weekend when the Rebels took the court, supporting the program through the rebuilding stages. Season five saw that hard work and support from the Oxford and Ole Miss community culminate in one of the best seasons in the program’s 30-year history with the program’s first NCAA Tournament appearance in 2006. The fans were rewarded again in 2007 as the Rebels raised the bar once more with another post-season berth. In 2007, Ole Miss built on the successes of the 2006 season and posted the program’s first 20-win season since 1989, going 25-8 and earning a second straight NCAA Tournament berth. The season opened with a bang as the Rebels defeated No. 20 Missouri in the first match of the season and never slowed down. Ole Miss also turned in a spectacular performance in conference play, posting a 14-6 record in SEC play to set the school record for conference wins. The Rebels finished third in the overall standings, their best finish since the 3 NCAA TOURNAMENT APPEARANCES
1982 season when only six league teams competed in the sport. The Rebels earned a second consecutive NCAA Tournament berth, falling to BYU in the first round to bring an unbelievable season to a close. For the second straight season, Getzin was named SEC Coach of the Year and Rebel athletes earned post-season accolades as Rachel Kieckhaefer was named All-SEC second team and Jackie Jones became the first SEC All-Freshman Team selection in school history. Kieckhaefer was also named an All-South Region honorable mention selection. Under Getzin’s guidance, Ole Miss exploded on the scene in 2006 as the Rebels finished fifth in the SEC and tied a school record for league wins not seen since 1979. Ole Miss posted a 19-13 record, including a 10-10 mark in the SEC, and the Rebels took down 11th-ranked LSU in the season finale for the program’s first win over a ranked opponent. The signature win of the Getzin era also propelled the team to the program’s first NCAA Tournament berth, as Ole Miss took to the road and faced fifth-seeded Southern California in the opening round of the tournament. In addition to the win over LSU, Ole Miss also posted a season sweep of Western Division rival Arkansas for the first time in program history. The Rebels went on to sweep Georgia and Auburn while taking wins over Alabama, Kentucky and South Carolina. Getzin’s work in the turnaround of the Rebel program did not go unnoticed as he was named SEC Coach of the Year and was tabbed South Region Coach of the Year by the American Volleyball Coaches Association. He was also a fi-
After being solidly competitive at home in the first two seasons, the Rebels took to the road and claimed big victories for the program in the 2004 campaign. Ole Miss claimed a road victory over LSU, the first win in Baton Rouge in almost 10 years, before continuing with a road win over the Kentucky Wildcats. The win over Kentucky on the road was the first for the Rebels over the Wildcats since 1997. Ole Miss also picked up the program’s first win over Baylor, storming to the Magnolia Invitational title with a 3-0 win over the Bears. Senior Elena Garcia played her way into the NCAA Record Books in the match as she served 18 consecutive points for the Rebels in a 30-11 game two win. Getzin has also brought the annual Magnolia Invitational to a level of a premiere tournament with prominent programs like Texas, Missouri, Pittsburgh and NC State making the trip to Oxford to compete in the event. The Rebels have steadily improved performance in the competitive SEC under Getzin’s leadership. In his first two seasons, the Rebels posted back-to-back season sweeps over Auburn and arch-rival Mississippi State. The Rebels added to the win total with a 3-2 upset of LSU that saw fans rush the court in celebration. In 2003, the Rebels’ five SEC wins tied the most conference wins for the program since the 1997 season when Ole Miss tallied seven conference victories. The excitement that is buzzing around Oxford and Ole Miss Volleyball has been seen in the fan participation as well. The Rebels have hosted all of the top five crowds at Ole Miss in the Getzin era. In 2002, Getzin’s first season, more than 1,300 fans turned out to watch Ole Miss take down arch-rival Mississippi State in a 3-0 match. It marked the largest crowd to see a volleyball match at the University of Mississippi in the 28-year history of the program. OLEMISSSPORTS.COM | 11
COACHING STAFF/ADMINISTRATION
In the 2003 season, Getzin added three more to the top-five list with crowds of more than 400 showing up to watch the Rebels defeat LSU and Mississippi State, while more than 500 fans turned out to watch the Rebels take on the Georgia Bulldogs. Since that time, the Rebels have continued to shuffle the list as the crowds continue to grow at the Gillom Sports Center. In Getzin’s first season, the Rebels improved the previous year’s record by four wins and attendance nearly tripled. Fans experienced the excitement of volleyball with the addition of bleachers behind the court, allowing spectators to be right on top of the action. The squad posted its first sweep of arch-rival Mississippi State since 1997, and the largest crowd (1,378) ever to witness a volleyball match at Ole Miss saw the Rebels down MSU 3-0 on Oct. 16. Individually, junior Elena Garcia led the team with 260 kills and 267 digs. She went over 500 in both categories for her career. Off the court, the Rebels have shown incredible success in the academic arena. Ole Miss has had 52 selections to the SEC Academic Honor Roll. In addition, since Getzin has taken over the program, 40 members of the squad have made one of the University’s three honor rolls. In 2006, the squad also captured the Chancellor’s Cup for having the highest cumulative GPA of any athletic team on campus. In addition to the Chancellor’s Cup, the team claimed the AVCA/Gameplan Award for the first time in 2006, as a program that boasted a team GPA above the 3.3 mark. Ole Miss was one of only two SEC schools and only 55 in the nation to earn the award. The Rebels followed that up by claiming the award again in 2007 and accomplished the feat for a third-straight season in 2008. “I am proud of the team for making the grade in the classroom,” Getzin said. “It demonstrates their commitment to not only competing at the highest level on the court, but in the classroom as well. They will be successful in the future.” AT SOUTH CAROLINA Prior to taking the position with the Rebels, Getzin served as the top assistant coach at South Carolina from 2000-2001. At South 12 | REBEL VOLLEYBALL 2011
Carolina, Getzin was responsible for recruiting, conditioning and technical training. In 2000, the Gamecocks posted a 22-7 overall record and their best-ever conference record at 12-2 in the SEC.

Larkin and Edlund were named All-SEC four consecutive years, and Abshier was the 1998 Southeastern Conference Scholar-Athlete of the Year. PRIOR TO SOUTH CAROLINA Prior to re-joining South Carolina for the 2000 season, Getzin spent one year as the head coach at the University of Portland. While at Portland, his team achieved a cumulative GPA of 3.34 and he signed Sara Engstrom, the MVP of the Junior National Championship.

2010 IN REVIEW
ALL-AMERICAN REBEL Middle blocker Regina Thomas continued to leave her mark in the Ole Miss record books when she was named the program’s first All-America selection in 2010. Thomas was named a third team AllAmerica selection by the AVCA after hitting .421 on the year and averaging 2.53 kills and 1.16 blocks per set in the rugged SEC. She also hit at a .451 in conference play to help lead the Rebels to the NCAA Tournament. ALL-SEC SELECTION Despite missing the last six matches of the season after a season-ending injury, Thomas was named an All-SEC first team selection by the league’s coaches. Thomas led the SEC in hitting with a .451 hitting percentage in conference matches (.421 overall) and was among the league leaders in blocks with 1.16 blocks per set. Thomas is the first Rebel to garner first team All-SEC honors since the 1990 season when Michelle Whitby-York was named to the All-SEC first team. Thomas’ .421 hitting percentage tops the single-season list by a player at Ole Miss. COMMUNITY SERVICE TEAM SELECTION Senior Emily Kvitle was named to the Southeastern Conference’s Community Service team in 2010 after being an active part of the Ole Miss and Oxford community. Kvitle participated in several community outreach programs like Reading With The Rebels, the SEC Canned Food Drive, the Rebel ReRun program and also visited a homeless shelter in Houston with her team while on the road. Kvitle also served on the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee.

ALL-REGION HONORS Thomas and senior middle blocker Miranda Kitts also earned All-Region honors from the AVCA last season. Thomas was named to the All-South team by the AVCA, while Kitts was tabbed as an honorable mention selection by the region’s coaches for her performance in the 2010 season. REBELS RETURN TO NCAA TOURNAMENT For the third time in program history, Ole Miss played in the NCAA Tournament when the Rebels took the court against the North Carolina Tar Heels in Berkeley. The berth is the third in the last five years for the Rebels and all of the program’s NCAA Tournament appearances have come under current head coach Joe Getzin. Ole Miss first went to the NCAA Tournament in 2006, falling at Southern Cal in the first round. The Rebels returned to the NCAA Tournament in 2007, falling to BYU in the opening round at Washington. Ole Miss fell to UNC 3-1 in the opening round of last year’s NCAA Tournament. SPRINGER HITS 1,000 DIG MARK When libero Morgan Springer came up with 18 digs against Arkansas on October 17, the Rebel broke the 1,000 kill mark for her career. Springer hold 1,181 digs for her career and sits at third on the career dig list in the rally-scoring era. She is fourth on the list when combined with players from the side-out scoring era. PLAYER OF THE WEEK Amanda Philpot snagged Player of the Week honors from the conference office on October 25 after helping lead the Rebels to a pair of wins on the road at Mississippi State and Alabama. The wins pushed the Rebels’ win streak to seven matches at that time
and included season sweeps of the conference rivals. The setter also put down her first triple-double in the rally at Alabama with 10 kills, 14 digs and 44 assists. DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK The Rebels have had three players named SEC Defensive Player of the Week. It started with Springer (Sept. 20) after a pair of wins over Alabama and Mississippi State. Kitts (Oct. 11) picked up the honor after defeating Auburn and Georgia. Thomas grabbed the honor after the Rebels downed #12 LSU and Arkansas. DEBUTING IN STYLE The Rebels had several players make a solid first impression in the opening weekend, but perhaps most notable was the performance of outside hitter Kara Morgan. In the Rebels’ first match of the year against UT-San Antonio, Morgan turned in seven kills and 12 digs before following that up with a .615 hitting percentage against Texas Tech with nine kills. REBELS IN THE MAGNOLIA INVITATIONAL The Rebels claimed the Magnolia Invitational for the fourth straight season and fifth time overall when Ole Miss defated Samford 3-0 in the final match of the event. The Rebels rallied to claim a 3-2 win over Southern Miss in the opening night of action, before taking down Louisiana-Lafayette and the Samford Bulldogs on the second day of action to secure a fourth consecutive Magnolia Invitational title.

THE GROVE Regarded as one of the world’s top sporting traditions, tailgating on football Saturdays at Ole Miss is one of those activities that every sports fan should take the opportunity to indulge in at some point in their life. Ten acres of lush green grass, watched over by majestic oak trees in the middle of the Ole Miss campus, are transformed from a tranquil picnic spot into tailgating paradise when thousands of football fans crowd into every corner of the land. Weaving through the myriad of red and blue tents, one is bound to encounter a few of the most extravagant set-ups in all of tailgating - fine china, chandeliers, big-screen satellite TVs. Of course, many tents are a bit simpler, but the unique atmosphere still encourages sundresses and high heels for the ladies and coats and ties for the men. Food and drink are abundant. “Hotty Toddy” can always be heard chanted among the trees. Champions walk through it. There is nowhere else like it. It is ... The Grove.

“The Gillom Center is a wonderful facility and a great volleyball venue. The success we have had there is directly related to how much we love playing at home in front of our fans. They have helped create a great environment to come and watch a college sporting event. This is one of the few places where fans can personally affect the outcome of a match with their presence.� -Joe Getzin

ADMINISTRATION DR. DANIEL W. JONES | CHANCELLOR
PETE BOONE | ATHLETICS DIRECTOR
From an early age, Dr. Daniel W. Jones knew his career aspirations revolved around medicine and leadership. And while a physician leading a comprehensive university isn’t a common arrangement, Jones’ appointment as the 16th chancellor of the University of Mississippi is no surprise to anyone familiar with his record of leadership and achievements at the UM Medical Center in Jackson and the American Heart Association. Jones became chancellor on July 1, 2009, and oversees the campuses in Oxford, Jackson, Southaven, Tupelo and Grenada. Vice chancellor for health affairs and dean of the School of Medicine since 2003, Jones served as the Medical Center’s chief executive officer, overseeing five schools and the health system. Under his leadership, UMMC restructured its clinical enterprise to create a more agile, market-responsive organization focused on quality, efficiency and clinical leadership. The work resulted in a turnaround in financial performance and selection as one of the Thomson Top 100 Hospitals in America. Jones’ leadership team also expanded the Medical Center’s commitment to minority scholarships, rural medicine and the elimination of health disparities. Enrollment of underrepresented medical students increased 80 percent in five years. They also led a campaign that raised $53 million, expanded the medical school’s class size from 100 students to 120 students per class and reorganized the medical faculty clinical practice plan from 17 individual practice groups to a single, unified one, facilitating more efficient management and improved patient care. Under his watch, the Medical Center’s research enterprise has been reinvigorated with completion of the Arthur C. Guyton Research Center, acquisition of funding for a research park and increased research funding. A native Mississippian, Jones graduated from Mississippi College in 1971, earned his M.D. in 1975 at UMMC and completed his residency in internal medicine there in 1978. He had a private practice in Laurel, then went to Korea as a medical missionary in 1985. He returned to the UM Medical Center as a faculty member in 1992 and was named the school’s Herbert G. Langford Professor of Medicine in 1998. He directed the hypertension division and led many clinical studies funded by the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute of the National Institutes of health. He played a crucial role in the acquisition of funding from NHLBI to create the Jackson Heart Study and was its first principal investigator. As the only large scale study of cardiovascular risk factors in African-Americans, Jones had to overcome the understandable reluctance of African Americans to participate in research and to build consensus among the three participating institutions - Jackson State University, Tougaloo College and UMMC. Neither had ever collaborated in such a massive undertaking. The new chancellor began volunteering for the American Heart Association 20 years ago and became its national president in 2007-2008. He was one of the early voices in AHA leadership to call attention to the growing problem of childhood obesity and heart disease in women. He was AHA’s national spokesperson on high blood pressure. Jones is married to Lydia Channell Jones, also a Mississippi College graduate. They have two children, Jennifer Jones Flechas of Oxford and Jason Jones of Clinton.
In his 13 years as the University of Mississippi’s Director of Athletics, Pete Boone has overseen dramatic facility improvements across the athletics department, allowing Ole Miss student-athletes and teams to compete at the highest levels in the nation’s most competitive conference. Boone’s personal relationship with Ole Miss runs deep, beginning in 1968 when the Grenada, Miss., native first stepped on the Oxford campus as a center on the Rebel football team, playing first for legendary coach John Vaught and then coach Billy Kinard as he earned three letters (1970-72). During Boone’s 13 years as Director of Athletics, Ole Miss has experienced continued growth from adding sports to his overseeing in excess of $140 million in athletics improvements. A number of projects are currently in the final planning stages or recently completed as Ole Miss continues to meet the challenges of the 21st century both on and off the field of competition. Underway is a $3 million renovation of the Palmer/Salloum Tennis Center, site of many men’s and women’s NCAA Regionals and host of the 2012 Women’s SEC Tournament. Several major projects are on the horizon with the launching of a capital campaign that includes plans for a new arena, a north end zone expansion of Vaught-Hemingway Stadium and other projects. Under Boone’s watch, the athletics department remains committed to young men and women student-athletes and their parents, promising to provide a positive environment of support to help them achieve their maximum potential in their academic and athletic pursuits. The FedEx StudentAthlete Academic Support Center’s front-line technology and classroom environment provide Ole Miss student-athletes one of the best learning environments in the country. While Boone’s focus has been to provide student-athletes, coaches and administrative staff with every opportunity to succeed, he has represented Ole Miss and the Southeastern Conference on a number of regional and national committees. In August of 2008, Boone was elected Chairman of the SEC Athletics Directors Committee. Boone, a 1972 graduate of Ole Miss with a bachelor’s degree in banking and finance, is married to the former Scottye Howard of Grenada. The couple has two sons, Taylor and Lexie. Taylor is married to the former Laurel Joachim of Atlanta, Ga. Taylor and Laurel have two future Ole Miss Rebels -- a son, Morgan (9) and a daughter, Pharis Louise (4). Lexie is married to the former Kim Deuel of Binghamton, N.Y.

STUDENT-ATHLETE SUPPORT
REBEL STRENGTH AND CONDITIONING OBJECTIVE: The primary objective for the University of Mississippi Strength and Conditioning program is to help each athlete be the best they can be. In order to reach this goal, there are several components that must be addressed. There are general needs such as speed, power, agility and strength that must be met for each athlete. But in further development, functional training is used to meet the athlete’s specific needs based on their sport and position. Lastly, there is a mental component that helps the athlete prepare for the demands that will be placed on them during competition. Ole Miss athletes use a wide variety of training methods, from Olympic-style lifting, to high intensity machine training, to the use of chains, tires and sandbags, all combining together to help each athlete be their best. With 10,000-square-foot weight rooms in the majestic Indoor Practice Facility and the Starnes Center, there are no greater facilities at which to train athletes. When entering the weight training areas, Ole Miss players are quickly reminded of the championship philosophy set forth by the Rebel strength staff. The IPF’s weight room, which is entering its seventh year of existence, is enhanced with visual messages and houses state-of-the-art training equipment. Besides the hundreds of weights, the room also contains a variety of Hammer Strength machines, Life Fitness cardiovascular machines
and a fully-stocked nutrition counter. With the IPF’s full-sized indoor practice field in addition to the soccer field, the Rebels’ extensive workouts touch on every area of fitness and conditioning and prepare their bodies fully for intense SEC battles. As a staff we are always trying to improve our program to give our student-athletes an edge in performance. WE’RE EITHER GETTING BETTER OR GETTING WORSE, WE NEVER STAY THE SAME.
Jami Clinton Director of Olympic Sports Strength & Conditioning
OLE MISS SPORTS MEDICINE Prevention. Treatment. Rehabilitation. Education. Those are the four primary phases of athletic training, and the Ole Miss Sports Medicine staff strives to fulfill all four areas when working with the student-athletes on a daily basis. “Our Athletic Trainers are allied healthcare professionals and we strive to provide quality healthcare based on the latest in medical research,” said Shannon Singletary, Senior Associate Athletics Director for Sports Medicine/Strength & Conditioning. “By doing this we hope to not only provide our athletes with a better chance of winning on the field, but also give them an opportunity to lead a healthy lifestyle.” Led by a medical director and a full-time director of musculoskeletal medicine, Ole Miss student-athletes are offered the best care possible by the Sports Medicine staff, which includes 10 full-time athletic trainers, three graduate assistants and several student assistants. The staff serves the student-athletes nearly around-the-clock and at numerous facilities on campus. The Athletic Trainers begin treatments and rehabilitation as early as 6:30 a.m. and are available until the last student-athlete is through. There are currently five athletic training facilities on campus. The staff treats out of two primary athletic training rooms, in the Indoor Practice Facility and the Starnes Athletic Training Center, with four other satellite athletic training rooms, located at Tad Smith Coliseum, Gillom Center, OxfordUniversity Stadium/Swayze Field and the Basketball Practice Facility. The IPF and Starnes Center training rooms are stocked with equipment such as stationary bikes, hand weights, therapeutic modalities, and recent technology like underwater treadmills and Biodex testing equipment. Each component is strategically designed
to not only give the student-athletes the best care, but also to aid in returning them to competition as quickly and safely as possible. Singletary, though, said the emphasis is on the student-athlete’s health, first and foremost. Ole Miss Sports Medicine has strong working relationships with local physicians and Baptist Memorial Hospital, located less than five minutes from the campus. In addition, specialists from the University’s Medical Center Hope Price Heather Landry Shirley Graduate Athletic Trainer Senior Athletic Trainer are often consulted.
ATHLETICS DEPARTMENT MISSION STATEMENT The mission of the University of Mississippi Department of Intercollegiate Athletics is to advance the University's role as a major comprehensive institution of higher learning dedicated to teaching, research, and service. The Department will produce competitive and entertaining athletic teams, by recruiting qualified student-athletes, coaches and staff from diverse backgrounds, providing equal opportunities regardless of ethnicity or gender. The Department will prepare student-athletes to be productive members of society by assisting in their development of academic, athletic, social, and leadership skills within an environment which fosters integrity, sportsmanship, and emotional, physical, and mental well being. 64 | REBEL VOLLEYBALL 2011
Operating within the principles of sound fiscal management, the Department will sponsor athletic teams which reflect the interest of the citizens of Mississippi and promote enthusiasm, financial support, cohesiveness, and loyalty within the University community. Demonstrating leadership in all decisions which impact the University, the Southeastern Conference, and the National Collegiate Athletics Association, the Department will conduct itself in an ethical and honest manner.

STUDENT-ATHLETE SUPPORT
STUDENT-ATHLETE ACADEMIC SUPPORT Ole Miss student-athletes not only have the opportunity to play in one of the best conferences in the nation, they also attend a university that is world-renowned for its academics. Under Karen Schiferl, the Senior Associate Athletics Director for Academic Support, the Office of Student-Athlete Academic Support has made great strides in improving the environment for Ole Miss student-athletes. Schiferl is assisted by three assistant directors, five fulltime academic counselors, three learning specialists, three interns and numerous tutors and academic mentors. The mission of the Office of Student-Athlete Academic Support is to provide quality developmental and need-based programs to help student-athletes become independent and selfreliant learners. In an environment that promotes student development, the staff provides support for all student-athletes from the time they arrive on campus through graduation. The staff provides resources, experience and knowledge empowering each student-athlete to reach his/ her academic, career and personal potential. The OSAAS staff pursues this mission by promoting academic success with integrity, strict adherence to university, SEC and NCAA rules, and a dedication to excellence. The Rebel volleyball program has been solid when it comes to academic performance over the years, claiming the AVCA Team Academic award for three consecutive seasons (2006-08) for having a team GPA above a 3.2 for the academic year. The Rebels have also been one of the campus leaders among Olympic Sports when it comes to student-athletes making the grade. In 2009, six members of the squad were named to the SEC Academic Honor Roll while five athletes were named to the Freshman Academic Honor Roll. Under head coach Joe Getzin, there have been 60 selections to the SEC Academic Honor Roll and Freshman Academic Honor Roll over the last eight seasons.
The Rebels continued that academic success in the 2010 season with six players named to the SEC Academic Honor roll in Ashley Anderson, Courtney Cunningham, Emily Kvitle, Morgan Springer, Regina Thomas, Ashley Veach. Kara Morgan also earned a spot on the Freshman Academic Honor Roll. In addition to being named to the SEC Academic Honor Roll, Kvitle was also Ole Miss’ female nominee for the Boyd McWhorter Scholarship and earned a post-graduate scholarship for her academic achievements. Among all sports, Ole Miss had 135 student-athletes named to the SEC Academic Honor Rolls in 2010-11. With Ole Miss athletics taking its place amongst the best in the nation, the StudentAthlete Academic Support staff hopes that Rebel graduates of today have a great impact in the future of tomorrow.

NCAA COMPLIANCE Who Is A Prospect?
A prospective student-athlete is defined as an athlete who has begun classes for the ninth grade. However, it is possible for a younger student to be considered a prospect if the institution (or a representative of its athletic interests) provides the student (or family member) benefits not provided to prospects generally.
Who May Contact a Prospect During the Recruiting Process?
All in-person, on and off-campus recruiting contacts with a prospect (or family) are limited to authorized institutional staff members or full-time enrolled students at the institution. All other persons are prohibited from engaging in any personal, telephone or written contact with the prospect (or family) for encouraging participation in the institution’s athletics programs.
How and When May a Prospect Be Contacted?
In all sports, a prospect may not be contacted in-person, off-campus until their senior year in high school. Prospects may not receive correspondence from an institution until their junior year in high school (exception: men’s basketball - June 15 after sophomore year). Questionnaires and camp brochures may be sent prior to the junior year.
When May a Prospect Visit an Institution’s Campus?
Prospects may visit an institution’s campus at their own expense (“unofficial visit”) and receive complimentary passes to an athletic contest anytime except during “dead periods.” Check with the institution for dates. There is no limit to the number of times a prospect may visit a campus at his/her own
3 NCAA TOURNAMENT APPEARANCES
expense. Prospects may receive an expense paid visit (“official visit”) only after they have begun classes for their senior year and have registered with the NCAA Eligibility Center and submitted transcripts and test scores to the institution. Prospects are limited to a maximum of five official visits with no more than one per institution.
What is Considered “Being Recruited?”
A prospect is considered recruited if a coach, staff member or representative of the institution’s athletic interest (booster) attempts to persuade a prospect (or family member) to enroll at their institution and participate in the athletics program. A student is considered “recruited” if any of the following actions are taken: 1) the institution provides the prospect with an “official visit” (i.e., expenses paid) to its campus; 2) a coach arranges for an in-person, off-campus (home or prospect’s school) encounter with the prospect; 3) receiving more than one telephone call from a coach for recruiting purposes; 4) issuing an NLI or university athletic scholarship.
What Should a Prospect Do During the Recruiting Process?
Prospects should register with the NCAA Eligibility Center during their junior year in high school. Contact your high school guidance counselor or call the NCAA Eligibility Center at (877) 262-1492 for more information. The NCAA publishes “The Guide for the College-Bound Student-Athlete,” which may be downloaded from the NCAA website. If you should have any questions, visit the Compliance web page at www.OleMissSports.com or call the University of Mississippi Athletic Compliance Office at (662) 915-1594.

STUDENT-ATHLETE SUPPORT
FEDEX ACADEMIC SUPPORT CENTER FedEx Corporation announced on April 14, 2005, a $2.5 million gift over five years to the University of Mississippi to create an academic support center for student-athletes. In May 2007, the vision became reality as the FedEx Student-Athlete Academic Support Center opened its doors to Rebel athletes. The center provides state-of-the-art computer facilities and space for study halls and tutoring for men and women student-athletes, as well as additional classrooms for all students. “FedEx has always been a strong supporter of educational initiatives at all levels,” said Mike Glenn, executive vice president, marketing development and corporate communications. “This contribution to the University of Mississippi is an extension of our commitment to helping improve the academic resources available to students, and student-athletes in particular.” Glenn said FedEx and Ole Miss are committed to providing a strong academic foundation to enable students to reach their full potential.
The money has been used to renovate a portion of the Starnes Athletic Center—which formerly housed football locker rooms, a weight room and training facilities—next to Vaught-Hemingway Stadium on All-American Drive. The 22,500-square-foot building now houses the Office of Student-Athlete Academic Support, including offices, conference rooms, 20 large and small group tutoring rooms, a large study area, a multi-media classroom, computer lab and 150-seat high-tech auditorium. The project was completed in May 2007 with an approximate cost of $5 million. In accepting the FedEx gift, university officials said the new center provides an important link in the university’s goal to compete at the highest level in every aspect of its intercollegiate programs. “American public universities are the best in the world largely because of the generosity of American corporations,” said then-UM Chancellor Robert Khayat. “FedEx sets the standard for philanthropy by which others are measured. In this case, Ole Miss student-athletes are the primary beneficiaries, but all our students will benefit and, as a result, our entire state benefits.”
Athletics Director Pete Boone said the FedEx Academic Support Center plays a valuable role in preparing studentathletes for success after their collegiate playing days are concluded. “In recruiting, we make a commitment to young men and women and their parents. We promise to provide a positive environment of support to help them achieve their maximum potential in their academic and athletic pursuits,” said Boone. “The FedEx Academic Support Center enables Ole Miss to go beyond that promise. The Center’s front-line technology and classroom environment provide our student-athletes one of the best learning environments in the country.” In addition to its latest gift to the University, FedEx supports several endowed scholarship programs, the Whitten Chair in Law, the Lott Leadership Institute, the William Winter Institute for Racial Reconciliation and William Faulkner’s historic home, Rowan Oak.
STARNES ATHLETIC TRAINING CENTER Every aspect of Ole Miss Athletics is geared toward the success of its student-athletes. The Michael S. Starnes Athletic Training Center provides a valuable role in the development and display of that success. The multi-purpose Starnes Center has undergone many transformations through the years. It currently houses Ole Miss Sports Medicine, FCA and CHAMPS Life Skills headquarters and includes a 10,000-square-foot weight room and a sizeable memorabilia collection. Formerly the Doc Knight Field House, the Training Center stands just north of Vaught-Hemingway Stadium and within walking distance of Tad Smith Coliseum, Swayze Field and the main athletics office complex. The primary training room on the Ole Miss campus is used by several Rebel sports. The training area has four offices for the athletic training staff, room for at least 13 treatment tables, six taping stations and countless rehabilitation equipment. It also contains a wet room with a whirlpool that help make up an environment for top-notch care and injury prevention for Rebel athletes.
66 | REBEL VOLLEYBALL 2011
The facility extends to the east into a similar structure which holds a massive weight room, a lobby, conference room and offices. Connected to the west end is the FedEx Academic Support Center, a state-of-the-art complex opened in May 2007. Starnes, the building’s benefactor, donated $1 million toward the facility as part of an extensive $2.5 million renovation in 1995. A 1968 Ole Miss graduate, Starnes is president of Tennessee California Express, Inc., a transportation company. Much of the history and the many accolades of Rebel athletics are displayed in two rooms on the second floor of the Starnes Center that make up Hollingsworth-Manning Hall. The larger room is divided into four zones, with the North Wing reserved to honor the nine Ole Miss Rebels in the College Football Hall of Fame. The East Wing spotlights the 42 Ole Miss first-team All-Americans as well as Hall of Fame Coach John Vaught and the legacy of Chucky Mullins. The West Wing is reserved for baseball, track, tennis and golf
All-Americans as well as Bruiser Kinard, the only player in Ole Miss history inducted into the College and Professional Football Halls of Fame. The South Zone honors Ole Miss All-Americans in men's and women's basketball as well as C. M. "Tad" Smith, who played and coached at Ole Miss and also served as Athletics Director. The smaller room of Hollingsworth-Manning Hall is devoted entirely to an impressive memorabilia collection from the family of Ole Miss legend Archie Manning, which includes items of all three sons, Cooper, Peyton and Eli. The focal point of the exhibit are Super Bowl MVP photos of both Peyton and Eli hoisting the Lombardi Trophy. Dr. Jerry Hollingsworth, an Ole Miss alumnus and general practitioner in Ft. Walton Beach, Fla., joined forces with former Rebel quarterback Archie Manning to establish the recruitment/memorabilia center. It is faithfully maintained and updated by Langston Rogers, Senior Associate Athletics Director Emeritus.
