Old and new faces shape men's basketball

By Brian Hepfinger Sports Editor

The Slipp er y Ro ck University basketball team (2-1) is ready to win the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference and qualify for the NCAA Tournament this season.

The Rock has a fairly new team this season, but there are multiple returning players, including junior guard Chris Hays, senior guard Antonio Butler, junior center Cornelius Brown, junior forward Jordan Grady, senior guard Abdul King, sophomore guard T.J. Jones, and junior forward Erik Raleigh. There are eight new players on the Rock's roster, including Malcolm Richardson, Chaquille Pratt, Allen Jiles, Desma Nicholson, Kelvin Goodwin, John Johnson, Frank Holloway, T.J. Jones, and Jamal Gatali. All eight players are sophomores or a higher classlevel.

Last season, six returning players appeared in multiple games. Butler played in 30 games (started in five), scored 226 points, and had 123 rebounds. Raleigh appeared in 29 games, scored 128 points, and had 102 rebounds. Brown played in 10 games (started in five), scored 21 points, and had 24 rebounds. Hays appeared in three games, scored 12 points, and had two rebounds. Grady played in 28 games, scored 55 points, and had 65 rebounds.

King appeared in five games, scored 10 points, and had 11 rebounds.

The Green and White won their first two games of the season against the University of Charleston (Nov. 14) and Glenville State College (Nov. 15). In those two games, Butler, Pratt, Goodwin, Frank Holloway, Gatali were the starters.

However, SRU head coach Kevin

Reynolds said the starting lineup is still wide open, and that besides Hays and Butler, leadership roles still need to be filled.

"Other than Antonio and Chris, I could see the third and fourth leader changing week by week or game by game," Reynolds said.

Last season, the Rock finished with an overall record of 20-11, and lost to Gannon University 73-69 in the PSAC Championships. This season, Reynolds hopes his team will have a much longer season.

"We always have the same expectations that the other 17 teams in the league have, and that's winning the conference championship and moving onto the NCAA's," Reynolds said. "Our ultimate goal is to get to the NCAA Tournament.

We'd like to win the league to get there, but that's our goal every year."

Reynolds said SRU has been playing the same brand of basketball during the seven years he has been the head coach.

"The first thing we try to do is play good defense, and field goal percentage defense from the two and the three," Reynolds said. "We want to be one of the top rebounding teams in the conference and in the country."

He said his teams have always played unselfish team basketball.

"That's been the staple of why we've been so good," Reynolds said. "We're not a star-studded program. Everybody has a role, and plays that role well. It could be anybody on any given night, and you can't key in on one player."

Both wins this season have been decided by less than four points. SRU defeated Charleston 65-62, and then they defeated Glenville 63-62. In both games, it was SRU's defense that stepped up.

"Going in with as many new guys as

we have, I've been really happy appy with the team's play," Reynolds said. "We've played ass a team offensively and defensively. efensively. We've guarded the he teams closely, and made ade them shoot a lower percentage rcentage then they would uld like."

Reynolds said thee team has shared red the ball veryy well in the firstt two games, but they need to sho ot it better. er.

SRU's RU's only loss on the season on came f rom m G an n on Un ivee rs it y on We d n e s d a y i n Erie, Pennsylvania. on defeated Gannon SRU 64-51.

R e y n o l d s e x p e c t e d this game to be highly contested ed and hard-fought, ught, and he was correct.

The Rock will play ay in t heir home opener on Saturday,, Nov. 22 at 7:300 p.m. against the University ty of Pitt-Johnstown town in Morrow ow Field House. se.

Women's basketball looks to improve

By Ryan Barlow

#24 D'Asia Chambers

Assistant Sports Editor The Slippery pp y R Rock wom Universityy (1-1) women's basketball team will be lookingg to move m forward from a disappointing 2013-2014 campaign. g SRU is returningg some s familiar faces f from last yyear, as well as n nine new p players y players.

Comingg o off of a season w where the Rock w went 6-20 ove overall, 3-13 in the Pennsylva y Pennsylvania State Ath Athletic Conference, new actingg head h coach, Bobby Bo McGraw, has been given the opportunity pp y to be in charg g of charge the wom women's basketball program this season.

In his effor ort to bringg a new cul culture to the locker ro room, McGraw was able to persuade new assistant p assis coach Ryenn y Mica Micaletti to join j coach his coaching staff.

Micaletti spent last assis season as an assistant rrival coach with Unive Indiana University (Pennsylvania). Prior P

to joining IUP, she spent two seasons at Point Park University, where she helped the women's team to a 48-14 overall record during her tenure.

McGraw hopes that his team will take big strides on the defensive end this season, after being beat up by opposing offenses a year ago.

Last season, SRU allowed 75.6 points per game and were ranked 264 out of 287 in total defense, and McGraw is adamant about getting the women to play together as a stronger defensive unit.

"It's not about coming up with different strategies on defense," McGraw said. "It's about getting the girls to come together and get a smothering defense."

On the court, the Green and White will benefit from the return of 20132014 All-PSAC first team forward D'asia Chambers.

Chambers, who is expected to be in the conversation for All-PSAC player of the year, averaged a team high of 17.8 points per game (51.7 shooting percentage) last season and another team high in rebounds at 8.7.

Chambers was also able to contribute 44 assists, as well as being a defensive force with 19 blocks and 40 steals.

She has also been selected as a member of the preseason first team All-PSAC team, meaning that a lot of people will be watching her specifically to see how big of an impact she can have.

Also among the returnees is junior guard Erica Aiello and junior dual position player Megan Hardiman.

Aiello finished last season ranked third in the conference in assists with 4.5 per game, also being able to score 8.5 points per game and a team high in three point shooting percentage of .405 (34-84).

Hardiman started 25 games as a sophomore, averaging 5.5 points per

game, 4.8 rebounds, 1.1 assists, and 1 steal per game.

Hardiman also led the Rock in free throw percentage, going 48-64 from the line (75 percent).

The other returning players for SRU are senior forward Danielle Garroutte, junior guard Rebecca Olkosky, senior guard Bridget McClure, and sophomore guard Kassidy O'Keefe.

The Rock also welcomes nine new faces to the program, including four incoming freshman, four junior college recruits, and one transfer student.

Sophomore forward Sam Smith and junior forward Sorriyah Ranger are both junior college recruits joining the Green and White from Southwester Illinois College.

Among other junior college recruits, junior guard Taylor Siggers also joins SRU from Indiana River College and junior guard BreeAnna Gross from Garden City College.

The Rock also welcomes sophomore transfer from East Stroudsburg University, Audrey Stapleton. Stapleton started 10 games for the Warriors, averaging 3.8 points, 1.4 rebounds, and 1.1 assists on the season.

The freshmen class for the Green and White includes Sierra Fordham, Mallory Heinle, Lindsey Horman, and Shannon Jack.

The young additions to the team could mean that the Rock could make big strides in the development of the program, and could build strong relationships for the future.

"With 16 different girls on this team, we have plenty of different opportunities for them to make impacts in games," McGraw said. "It's really all about getting them to come together and play as one unit. These girls are already beginning to buy in to what Coach Micaletti and I are trying to get them to understand about the game, especially on the defensive end."

Women's coach looks to be at SRU for the long haul

By Ryan Barlow

Assistant Sports Editor The women's basketball team is off to a fresh start after an abysmal 2013-2014 season, and the man leading the charge is new acting head coach Bobby McGraw.

The title 'acting head coach' comes with both it's benefits and struggles, as it does not guarantee job security for McGraw after his first season.

After former head coach Tanya Longo stepped down from her post, Slippery Rock athletic director, Paul Leuken, called McGraw into his office and offered him the temporary position.

"It took about one hundredth of a second to tell Mr. Leuken yes," McGraw said. "I am so fortunate to be sitting in this position. I understand that it is a one year deal. My assistant coach (Ryenn Micaletti) and I have a job until May 31. We have one year to take this program in the right direction or we are going to be unemployed."

McGraw, who recruited Micaletti from Indiana University (PA) to be his assistant for this season, swears he will do anything in his power to make sure that the both of them will still be in charge of the program next season.

"Every day I wake up and I know I can't let Ryenn go unemployed," McGraw said. "It's a burden knowing that every day, but at the end of the day our players win games, and our team chemistry is unbelievable chemistry and we are going to win some big games."

McGraw's journey to the position he has with Slippery Rock is a long and unusual, but nonetheless sensational.

Having graduated from Mars High School in 1990, and joined the basketball team at Butler County Community College (BC3) in 1991.

It was at BC3 where McGraw met one of his biggest mentors in college basketball, head coach Dick Hartung.

Hartung, who is still the head coach of the men's basketball team at BC3, showed McGraw how much fun he had coaching college basketball, and McGraw decided he wanted to be just like him.

After one year at Butler County Community College, McGraw transferred to Clarion University to play for the Golden Eagles.

At Clarion, McGraw had the privilege to play with the greatest scorer in PSAC men's basketball history, Kwame Morton.

After one season with Clarion, McGraw cut his playing career short and enlisted in the United States Marine Corps.

"The four years I spent in the Marines were the best four years of my life," McGraw said. "I would do it again in a heartbeat. To wake up every morning and your defending national security, there's really no better feeling."

When his father passed unexpectedly, McGraw decided it was time to leave the Marine Corps and come home to support his family.

Still not having a college degree, McGraw attended Methodist where he became a studentassistant coach.

It was at Methodist where he discovered his true passion for coaching.After graduation, McGraw thought he had walked away from basketball for good, and he became a police officer at the Butler Barracks.

As an officer, McGraw specialized in child sex offense cases. When people ask him how difficult it is as a coach to have difficult discussions with players, and shrugs it off because it doesn't compare to the difficult times he had as a Pennsylvania state trooper. After 16 years, McGraw made the decision to return to coaching basketball.

He briefly volunteered with high school teams, but was soon offered to a position as a volunteer assistant at La Roche College. McGraw joined the staff under former La Roach head coach Scott Lang in 2010 for one of the most memorable seasons in Division III college basketball history.

On Dec. 10, 2010, Coach Lang, 41, passed unexpectedly during a basketball practice, players and coaching staff surrounding him.

"Scott was my biggest hero," McGraw said. "In high school I mimicked him as much as possible, whether it was the way I wore my jersey or the way presented myself in school, it was all about him. I looked at him as if he were my big brother."

The team, who was 7-1 at the time of his passing, rallied for an amazing run of 16 straight wins, drawing the attention of ESPN who covered the story, and USA Today who wrote a featured article.

La Roche finished the year 25-3, winning their conference title and making a serious run in the NCAA Division III tournament.

"It was something very special our players would never forget, and one I certainly would never forget," McGraw said.

McGraw stayed with La Roche for one more season after their run, but Rock men's head coach

New Rock acting head coach of the women's basketball team, Bobby Mcgraw, is in his second season with the Rock.

Kevin Reynolds convinced him to join his staff at SRU as a volunteer assistant.

"I've never learned more about the game of basketball from any one else more than Coach Reynolds," McGraw said. "As far as the schematics and theory of the game, I've never learned more from someone else."

Heading into the 2013-2014, Rock women's coach Tanya Longo offered McGraw the full time assistant coaching position with the SRU women's team.

Though the offer was enticing, McGraw originally rejected the offer.

"I had never coached women before," McGraw said. "I know my personality and I have big loud booming voice, and I just wasn't sure how that could translate."

After discussing further with family and friends, McGraw finally decided to accept Longo's offer.

He joined the staff last year, and is now sitting as the acting head coach of the program.

"The players are so fun to be around and so fun to coach," McGraw said. "No matter how loud or intense I am, I realized women want to be coached too. I have so much fun coaching these girls, and
