2009 2010

SEASON OUTLOOK The Mercer Bears will look to go Back to the Future this season in an effort to secure the program’s first Atlantic Sun championship since 1985. They took a big step forward in Bob Hoffman’s inaugural campaign posting a 17-15 mark overall and 11-9 record in the A-Sun. It was the first winning season since 2004-05 and only the fifth in the last 15 years. Only three Mercer squads (1981, ’85, and ’03) over the past 29 years earned more victories. “We have talked about Mercer’s last NCAA banner came in 1985,” said Mercer head coach Bob Hoffman. “We want competing for a championship to become the norm every year. That’s when you become a program, not just a yearly team. I think we are close to becoming a program.” Similar to the ’85 team, led by Georgia Sports Hall of Fame inductee and NBA veteran Sam Mitchell, this year’s edition has a strong nucleus of seniors. This year’s squad will be guided by James Florence, Daniel Emerson, E.J. Kusnyer, BeJay Corley and Brendan Walker. Also back are juniors Brian Mills and Mark Hall, sophomore Marquisse Jackson and redshirt freshman, Jake Gollon. Among the underclassmen, Mills was the only one to see starting time last season. “I am excited about how hard our guys have worked since the end of the 2009 season,” Hoffman said. “Our returners have put in countless hours of preparation and I know it will have a great outcome.” Joining the Mercer roster for the 09-10 campaign are nine new faces. They are junior college transfers Brandon Moore, Jeff Smith, Michael Jenkins and Ridas Pulkauninkas along with freshman Tevin Swann, R.J. Miskimon, Ted Price, Chris Smith and David O’Shaughnessey.

Returnees Florence sits on the threshold of breaking many Mercer records this season. The 6-1 guard from Marietta’s Wheeler High School is already the standard in the Top 10 in numerous categories in the Mercer record books. The All-American candidate is first in 3-point field goals made (1st-185), and 3-point field goals attempted (1st-638). He ranks in the Top 10 in scoring (5th-1,737 points), points per game (4th–19.1), field goals made (8th-571), field goals attempted (4th-1,491), free throws made (4th-410), free throws attempted (4th-572), assists (3rd-294) and assists per game (7th-3.3). Defensively, Florence is Mercer’s all-time steals leader with 168, surpassing Kenny Brown’s 147. “James is well grounded and his teammates do a good job of keeping him there,” Hoffman said. “His humility of wanting to win is more important than the individual stuff. His main focus is playing for a conference title.” James Florence On the block, the 6-8 Emerson is one of the grittiest players in the Atlantic Sun. He pulled down 343 boards last year, second-best single season mark in Mercer history, set a University Center (UC) record with 19 rebounds against Piedmont and a career best of 20 rebounds against conference rival, Campbell. He trails only Steve Moody (1963-67) for best career rebounds per game average. The St. Mary’s, Ga. native posted 14 double-doubles as a junior and one that included a career high 23 points at FGCU. “Danny has been through a lot,” the second-year coach said. “He has overcome injuries, transferring and different styles of play. He came to Mercer because he wanted to be part of the legacy his brothers (Scott and Will) had built. Danny has equaled that in his short time here.” Kusnyer displayed a smooth stroke from beyond the arc while starting all 32 games as a junior. The 6-5 shooting guard led Mercer in three-point field goals made and attempted (83-226) and is 10th all-time in 3-point field goal percentage at .367. His 83 three-pointers was second-best in the A-Sun last year. “In my coaching career, E.J. has spent more time shooting on his own than anyone I’ve ever coached,” Hoffman said. “He is a self made player.” Corley and Mills join Emerson to give the Bears an experienced frontcourt. Corley started 14 of 32 games last year and finished with the team’s best field goal percentage (.667). As a sophomore, Mills was third on the team in rebounds (3.9), scored 6.5 per game and started half of the Bears’ 32 contests. Coming off the bench, Walker and Hall provide quality depth at guard. Both saw plenty of action combining for a total of 60 games played. Hall returns as the Bears fifth leading scorer (5.3) and third best assist distributor (1.5). Jackson (sophomore) and Gollon got a taste of Division I play last year and will provide extra depth at the forward position. Gollon played in two games before suffering a season ending foot injury which qualified him for a medical hardship waiver. Newcomers Hoffman and his staff filled the roster vacancies with four junior college and one freshman standout. They are joined by four talented walk-ons. “Last year, a couple of our weaknesses were being and playing physical and our athleticism,” Hoffman commented. “We didn’t play physical even though we had physical players and we were not as athletic as we needed to be even though we had good athletes. Our new players will make us better in both areas and increase the competition at practice to a higher level every day.”

MERCER BASKETBALL Brandon Moore and Michael Jenkins will bolster an already strong frontcourt. Moore hails from Wallace State Community College where he helped lead the Lions to a pair of Alabama Community College Tournament finals. He earned an all-region selection last year by averaging 10.4 points and 8.3 rebounds per game. Jenkins averaged 13.7 points, 10.2 rebounds at Walters State Community College and was the 4A South Carolina High School Coaches Association Player of the Year as a senior at Easley High School. The guards offer a unique combination of skill and size with Tevin Swann (5-11), Jeff Smith (6-2) and Ridas Pulkauninkas (6-6). Swann is a speedy ball-handler and defensive stalwart who averaged 15 points and eight assists while earning all-conference honors for The Miller School last year. Smith, a former McDonald’s AllAmerican, played with Moore at Wallace State and brings a career scoring average of 14.0 points to the Bears. Pulkauninkas is from Vilnius, Lithuania and helped lead Lon Morris Junior College to a 25-6 record, No. 23 national ranking and the 2009 Region XIV conference title. He was 31st nationally in three-point percentage at 44%. Hoffman has always welcomed walk-ons to his program and this year is no exception as Ted Price, R.J. Miskimon, Chris Smith and David O’Shaughnessey seek to fulfill their Division I dream in a Mercer uniform. Schedule The Bears were road warriors and a little road weary after playing in six different states in November and December last year. Though the travel will not be as extensive in 2009-10, the opponents will be as formidable. The schedule includes seven opponents who reached the postseason in 2008-09 and five first-time matchups. The slate includes contests with five schools from college basketball’s powerhouse conferences. Mercer will tangle with the Big East’s Providence Friars in the World Vision Tournament on Nov. 15. They will have road matchups with SEC foes

Daniel Emerson

Vanderbilt, and Alabama. Atlantic Coast Conference opponents include Georgia Tech and Florida State. Mercer will travel to Atlanta to face the Yellow Jackets and entertain the Seminoles, for Homecoming, on Saturday, Nov. 21.

“It is good for us to play those kinds of quality teams early with tremendous basketball history,” Hoffman said. “We will see all kinds of defenses from them and that will stretch us. It will put us where we want to be when we get into the heat of the conference schedule.” As usual, the A-Sun will be a long, hard climb for any team to reach the championship pinnacle. Preseason publications, Blue Ribbon Forecast and Athlon, have chosen the Bears to finish second and third, respectively. Blue Ribbon has Mercer finishing second behind the 2009 A-Sun regular season champs, Jacksonville. According to Athlon, the Bears will trail Jacksonville and Lipscomb in the final conference standings. “Jacksonville, Lipscomb, and Belmont will be tough,” Hoffman said. “ETSU’s athleticism will again be very good. When you look at the schedules of the teams in our conference and see who they are playing, it will make them better and make it tough for everyone to get wins.” For the first time in its history, Mercer will host the Atlantic Sun Tournament. The Bears hope the home court advantage will pay dividends and yield an automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament. The tournament takes place March 3-6 in the University Center.

In his first season at the helm of the Mercer University basketball program, Bob Hoffman made an immediate mark. He guided the 2008-09 Bears to a 17-15 overall record and an 11-9 record in Atlantic Sun Conference (A-Sun) play. It was the Bears’ most wins since the 2002-03 season and their first winning mark in conference play since 2004-05.

A native of Oklahoma City, Okla., Hoffman has been successful at all levels and boasts a proven track record from high school through the professional ranks. His overall record as a head coach at the collegiate level is 400-170. When his Mercer team takes the court, he will rank among the top 20 active collegiate coaches in winning percentage. Hoffman came to the Bears after serving as head coach of the Rio Grande Valley Vipers, a NBA Developmental League franchise, and guided the American Basketball Association’s Arkansas Aeros to a 25-2 record in 200607. The Aeros led the league in scoring, averaging 133 points per game, in Hoffman’s up-tempo style of basketball. “Bob Hoffman was the first person we interviewed for our coaching position and he remained on the radar throughout the process,” Pope said. “In the end, we felt he was the right fit. We feel that his experience and success at all levels, including high school, NAIA, NCAA D-I and professional basketball, made him the ideal choice to lead our program to prominence.” Prior to coaching the Aeros, Hoffman served for two years as an assistant coach at the University of Oklahoma, where the Sooners recruited a class ranked in the top five nationally. Hoffman helped guide the Sooners to the first Big 12 championship in school history en route to a two-year record

2009 2010 of 45-17 and back-to-back NCAA appearances in 2004-05 and 2005-06. He brings a wealth of additional experience to the position, having served as head coach at the University of Texas Pan American from 1999-2004, compiling a 69-76 record at the NCAA Division I school. The highlight of Hoffman’s stint with the Broncs was a 21-9 record during the 2001-02 season. Hoffman guided UTPA to 12 wins in his first season, which was more than the previous three seasons combined, and posted the school’s best record since the 1993-94 campaign. In 2001-2002, Texas Pan-Am had its first winning season since 1993-94, earned their first tournament victory since 1989-90, and recorded the most home wins in eight seasons. The Broncs were rated for the first time ever in the CollegeInsider.com Mid-Major poll and Hoffman earned National Independent Coach of the Year honors by CollegeInsider.com. “I am very excited about the potential at Mercer,” Hoffman said. “I was overwhelmed by the prospects we saw when we visited the campus. I could tell that the Mercer administration is committed to developing a highly successful men’s basketball program.” Challenges are nothing new to him as he turned programs around at Southern Nazarene and Oklahoma Baptist. As the head women’s basketball coach at Southern Nazarene, Hoffman took a team that had never posted a winning season and won the 1989 NAIA National Championship in just his second season with the team. In three seasons at the helm of the Crimson Storm, he compiled an 88-16 record and was named Sooner Athletic Conference, District 9 and NAIA Coach of the Year. Building on his success at Southern Nazarene, Hoffman took the reins of the men’s program at his alma mater, Oklahoma Baptist, in 1990 and three seasons later guided the Bison to a 34-4 record and berth in the NAIA national championship game. Hoffman was named National Coach of the Year by Basketball Times and also earned Sooner Athletic Conference and District 9 Coach of the Year honors for his efforts. He went on to a record of 243-78 and a winning percentage of .757 in nine seasons at OBU, earning six trips to the NAIA Tournament and making two trips to the championship contest. He coached 10 All-Americans and 21 All-Conference selections during his tenure with the Bison. Hoffman was named Sooner Athletic Conference Coach of the Year four times. During his nine years at OBU, Hoffman’s teams averaged more than 90 points per game and led the NAIA in field goal percentage seven times. His commitment to academics is just as strong, boasting a player graduation rate of 82 percent. A standout guard and forward and a 1979 graduate of Oklahoma Baptist, Hoffman is one of just 30 players to score at least 1,000 points in his OBU career. Hoffman has been married for 29 years to the former Kelli Lumry. The couple has a son, Grant, who is 13 years old.

ROB MURPHY ATHLETIC TRAINER Eleventh season

PAUL BOHR STRENGTH COACH Third season

Rob Murphy is in his 11th season as director of Mercer’s Sports Medicine Department, overseeing the healthcare related needs for the 14 Division I sports. During his tenure at Mercer, Murphy has overseen the sports medicine needs of the men’s and women’s basketball teams, men’s soccer and baseball.

Paul Bohr enters his third season as the first fulltime strength and conditioning coach at Mercer. Bohr’s dedication and attention to detail have immediately paid dividends to the Bears’ athletic programs.

Murphy has established a professional relationship with Mercer Health Systems, Forsyth Street Orthopaedics and various other medical facilities in the greater Macon and Atlanta area in an effort to provide Mercer University’s student-athletes with the most comprehensive healthcare available. He is also active on campus promoting health and safety as a representative on the University’s Alcohol Awareness Task Force and the Student-Health Advisory Committee. Prior to coming to Mercer, Murphy attended graduate school at the University of Georgia. While at UGA, he served as the athletic trainer for baseball and softball. Prior to his arrival at Georgia, Murphy acquired clinical experience in Gainesville, Fla., as the Director of Athletic Training Services at the Physical Therapy Center, Inc.

SEASON REVIEW

MERCER BASKETBALL

2008-09 SEASON HIGHLIGHTS Experience: Mercer returns its top three scorers and 82 percent of its scoring offense from last season. James Florence (20.8 ppg./3.7 apg), Daniel Emerson (13.8 ppg./10.7 rpg.) and E.J. Kusnyer (10.5 ppg.) all return for their senior campaigns. On the Plus Side: The 2008-09 version of the Bears notched Mercer’s first winning season since the 2004-05 season and its fifth in the last 15 years - Only three Mercer teams in the last 29 years earned more wins (‘81, ‘85 and ‘03). Call Him Coach: Following his first season at the helm of the Bears’ program, head coach Bob Hoffman was named the Atlantic Sun Conference Coach of the Year by CollegeInsider.com. Hoffman’s 17 wins were the fourth-most by a first-year coach in school history, behind M.P. Gilliam’s 22 victories (1923-24), Oscar Long’s 20 wins (19281929) and Dan Nymicz’s 19 victories in 1951-52. More Accolades: At the conclusion of the 2008-09 season, James Florence was named first team all-conference, while Daniel Emerson earned second team all-conference honors. On the Charts: Mercer garnered national attention after opening last season with an unblemished 3-0 record for the first time since 1984. The Bears climbed as high as 10th in the CollegeInsider.com Mid-Major Poll for two consecutive weeks, the highest ranking in school history, after picking up back-to-back road wins past Southeastern Conference opponents Alabama and Auburn. Career Moves: James Florence is one of only four players in Atlantic Sun Conference history to record three 500-point seasons ... James Florence Mercer 539 (2006-07) 531 (2007-08) 667 (2008-09) Craig Beard Samford 566 (1982-83) 645 (1983-84) 703 (1984-85) Willie Jackson Centenary 693 (1981-82) 697 (1982-83) 663 (1983-84) Courtney Pigram ETSU 614 (2006-07) 506 (2007-08) 527 (2008-09) Free Basketball: After playing just one overtime contest in the first 17 games last season, four of the Bears’ final 15 games went to overtime - with the Bears posting a 2-3 record overall ... The five overtime games were a school record - surpassing the 2007-08 campaign’s four games and the four overtime contests played in 1981-82. Glass Eater: Daniel Emerson ranked 14th in the nation in rebounding last season. He pulled down a career-high 20 rebounds, including 14 defensive boards, at Campbell. The effort was the highest tally in the league and 26th highest in the NCAA last season. Finding a Seat: The Bears' efforts to get the community involved in Mercer basketball paid dividends, with the Bears drawing an average of 1,794 fans to the University Center and ranking fourth in the A-Sun in home attendance. That's a 74 percent increase over each of the previous two seasons.

HISTORY

MERCER BASKETBALL

1985 Atlantic Sun Championship Team – 25th Anniversary When most people mention the 1985 Mercer basketball team, the first thing that comes to mind is winning. As the 1984-85 season began, the Bears knew they were good and expected to be a good team. How good? That was the question that everyone wanted answered and they found out early. After three easy wins to open the year, Mercer dropped a one-point decision at Auburn. Following that loss, the Bears won three straight games, then knocked off Stanford, 90-72, in the Texas Christmas Tournament. In the final against Texas, Mercer lost by one on the Longhorns home floor, 69-68. “This team loved to play and worked hard in practice every day and it showed in how they played,” said head coach Bill Bibb. “They knew we had some depth and that everyone would have to contribute.” That kind of run before conference play caught everyone’s attention and the Bears were the early team to beat. But being the team to beat in the second half of the year didn’t start off too well. Mercer dropped a game at Samford and later dropped back-to-back games to Houston Baptist and Stetson. With it being do-or-die time, the Bears came together and rattled off six wins in a row before dropping a three-point decision at Hardin-Simmons. The Bears bounced right back to win two in a row leading into their final non-conference at home against Arkansas-Little Rock. The Bears were tied for first with Georgia Southern and needed a win to clinch the regular season title and host the conference tournament. The Trojans had other ideas, knocking off Mercer 79-72 and sending the tournament to Georgia Southern. Two days later, the Bears couldn’t get out of their funk and lost to Florida A&M, 10087. In the first round of the tournament, the second seeded Bears fought off a pesky Centenary team at home, 74-70, in overtime to earn a trip to Statesboro for the semifinals. “This was one of the years where the conference had the four best teams make the semifinals,” Bibb said. “Houston Baptist was good, Arkansas-Little Rock was really good as well as Georgia Southern.” With a win over Centenary, the Bears turned their focus to Houston Baptist, a team that had won on the Bears’ home floor back in January. The Bears came away with a 69-65 win setting up a

rematch with Arkansas-Little Rock. The championship game was everything you could ask for and more. Mercer looking to avenge its loss at home the week before against a Arkansas-Little Rock program that was still looking to make its first NCAA Tournament appearance. But Mercer’s depth and scoring ability showed in the final as Mercer won 105-96 and got its second trip to the “Big Dance.” “We had degrees of talent that we could use in special situations,” Bibb said. “Against Little Rock, we knew that the supporting cast had to score. Sam (Mitchell) came out for about 30 seconds and I had to put him back in the game. Earl Walker played good as well, which helped us in the finals.” Looking back at the team and what it accomplished still makes Bibb smile. “We knew we had depth with whatever the situation was,” Bibb said. “On top of that, we had a key go-to guy in Sam Mitchell. Sam also led by example. If the guys were dragging around during practice, Sam would get after them because he wasn’t dragging. His toughness made that team that much tougher.”

Tech beats back Mercer rally to win 65-58 Macon Telegraph, March 16, 1985 By Chuck Thompson ATLANTA – Mercer’s Bears, refusing to give up when they fell 18 points behind sixth-ranked Georgia Tech here Friday night, fought back in the second half to pull within six points of the Yellow Jackets before finally falling 65-58 in the first round of the NCAA East Regional playoffs. The Bears, obviously nervous the first half, settled down during intermission and came back out to outscore tech 12-5 in the first 6 ½ minutes of the second half and claw their way back into the contest. The Jackets, who had a terrible night offensively, especially from the free throw line, managed to hit the baskets they needed, however, to advance to the second round against Syracuse. Tech shot only 46 percent from the field for the game and just 61.3 percent from the foul line. Mercer was 38.3 percent from the field and 70.6 percent from the line. “The problems we had on offense were something,” said Tech Coach Bobby Cremins. “Give Mercer a lot of credit. It looked like we had them down, but they kept fighting. I feel good for them.

“But we did not play well. (John) Salley, (Mark) Price and (Bruce) Dalrymple all had bad games,” he added. “We have to play better than that if we hope to go any farther in this tourney.” What they did was turn to senior center Yvon Joseph. He was 8-for-13 from the field and 3-for-4 from the line to lead Tech with 19 points. “I was really surprised we were able to stay with them on the boards as well as we did,” said Mercer Coach Bill Bibb. His Bears tied Tech in rebounds with 38. “But Joseph had a great game. He’s too big and too strong for us,” added the Mercer coach. The Jackets, mostly Scott Petway, did an excellent job the first half containing Mercer’s Sam Mitchell, one of the top 10 scorers in the nation with an average of 25.2 points a game. In the opening half he was allowed to take only eight shots, all under heavy pressure. He made just two. Mitchell found himself in the second half, getting 13 points, seven from the foul line, to finish with 17. “Petway did a super job defensively the first half on Mitchell,” said Cremins. “We were afraid of what he might do to us if he got hot.”

Mercer, doing a good job early against Tech inside, held the Jackets off for the first 4 ½ minutes. But Price hit a 20-footer with 15:39 to go in the half to start a Tech run in which the Jackets outscored the Bears 23-7 over the next 9:25 to take control of the game. Mercer rallied with a spurt of its own, scoring seven unanswered points in 52 seconds to pull within nine, 27-18. But Tech, going inside to Joseph and getting outside shots from Price, got going again and pushed its lead to 18 before finally going to the dressing room at halftime up 41-25. Melvin Randall and Earl Walker each scored nine to pace Mercer the first half. Joseph scored 13 to lead Tech, and Price added nine. The Bears, appearing much more relaxed the second half, again made a run at Tech during the first seven minutes of the period, outscoring the Jackets 12-5 to close to nine back once more. Tech held Mercer off for a while long,er but in the closing minutes the Bears charged again, pulling to 62-56 with 1:35 to go on two free throws by Mitchell. The Jackets called a timeout, however, and went to their delay game the rest of the way to preserve their victory. Mercer, which finishes with a 22-9 record, was led in scoring by Mitchell, Walker and Randall, all with 17 points.

MERCER BASKETBALL

MERCER - CHAMPIONSHIP HISTORY Basketball has a long-standing legacy at Mercer University. The first edition of Mercer cagers hit the hardwood 100 years ago in 1908-1909 under the tutelage of head coach C.C. McClure. Though they ended with a 1-6 record, they tipped off what would be a successful history of championship teams. The Mercer men’s basketball program has won in each conference that it has been a member of, dating back to the 1920s when the school was a member of the forerunner of the SEC, the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association (SIAA). The Bears claimed back-to-back-to-back SIAA championships in 1922, 1923 and 1924. Mercer posted an overall record of 17-7 in 1921-22 and closed out the campaign by winning five of its last six contests to capture the SIAA title. The Bears defeated Centre, Kentucky, Chattanooga and Georgia Tech en route to taking the crown. North Carolina defeated Mercer, 40-26, in the NIT tournament. The following season the Bears were 16-10 and captured the 1924 title with a 22-6 record. Mercer topped Millsaps, Louisiana College, Mississippi College and Centre in the 1924 SIAA Tournament, claiming its third consecutive conference title.

Championship in Pictures

The 1925 SIAA champions defeated Tennessee, Florida, Georgia, Georgia Tech and N.C. State.

In 1948, Mercer joined the Dixie Conference as one of nine charter members. The basketball program faced the likes of Florida State, Howard, Lambuth, Millsaps, Mississippi College, Oglethorpe, Stetson and Tampa during its stint in the conference. Mercer claimed its lone Dixie Conference championship in 1951 with a 16-9 overall record. Mercer would remain competitive throughout the next three decades but would wait three decades to experience championship success as a member of the Atlantic Sun. The 1980-81 squad was led by Atlantic Sun “Player of the Year,” Benton Wade. The Bears finished the regular season third in the conference and were facing an uphill battle in the A-Sun tournament, held in Shreveport, La. Mercer proved to be up to the challenge downing Arkansas-Little Rock, Louisiana-Monroe and Houston Baptist in the championship game to capture the conference title and the school’s first ever berth in the NCAA tournament. Mercer faced the Southwest Conference’s Arkansas Razorbacks in the first round of the “Big Dance.” Despite a courageous effort by the lower-seeded Bears, the Razorbacks prevailed, 73-67. The most recent chapter for Mercer championship success was written during the 2002-03 season. The Bears posted a 23-6 record, the best in school history, after finishing 6-23 the year before. The 17-game turnaround in one season was the largest in NCAA Division I history. Also, for the first time in the school’s 24-year affiliation with the A-Sun, it was the first regular season basketball title that Mercer had ever won. After going 5-2 in the first seven conference games of the season, the Bears rattled off 11 consecutive wins to close the regular season. The strong finish gave Mercer a number one seed in the conference tournament, but the Bears lost a heart-breaker to UCF in the conference tournament semifinals to end the season. For the first time in school history, Mercer was ranked in the mid-major Top 25. Head coach Mark Slonaker was honored with the Jim Phelan Award as the national “Coach of the Year” and was also named the Atlantic Sun “Coach of the Year.” 64

The 1951 Dixie Conference Tournament champs won 11 of their final 14 games including a 69-65 tourney final win over Florida State.

The 1981 A-Sun Tournament champions posted 10 wins in their last 13 games and went 6-3 in February.

LEGEND SAM MITCHELL Arguably, the greatest player in the history of Mercer University basketball is its all-time leading scorer, Sam Mitchell. The 1985 Atlantic Sun Conference “Player of the Year” finished his collegiate career with 1,986 points. When he left Mercer, Mitchell was the Bears leader in the following categories: scoring (career & season), field goals made (career & season), most free throws made (season), and free throws attempted (season). He led Mercer to the 1985 A-Sun championship and a berth in NCAA tournament against nationally-ranked Georgia Tech. At the 1985 Portsmouth Invitational Tournament pre-draft camp, he was tabbed the most valuable player. Mitchell was drafted in the third round (54 overall) by the Houston Rockets in the 1985 NBA Draft. He began his NBA career in 1989 as a free agent with the expansion Minnesota Timberwolves, but before entering the NBA, he paid his dues. Mitchell played three years in the Continental Basketball Association where he helped the Rapid City (S.D.) Thrillers to a championship and also in France’s top professional league for two seasons (1987- 89). In 1989, he signed his first NBA contract on the back of Billy McKinney, Minnesota’s player personnel director, prior to a summer league game in San Antonio. He played three seasons in Minnesota before being acquired by the Indiana Pacers in September 1992. He returned to the Timberwolves as a free agent in 1995 where he played an instrumental role in the on-and off-court development of 18-year-old rookie Kevin Garnett, who became the first player in 20 years to be drafted directly out of high school. Mitchell split his playing career between the Minnesota Timberwolves and Indiana Pacers. He appeared in 994 regular season games and 59 postseason contests, missing just 40 games to injury or illness throughout his career. He posted averages of 8.7 points, 3.7 rebounds and 1.1 assists. He ranks second all-time in Timberwolves history behind only Kevin Garnett in games played with 757 and second with 7,161 points, 1,773 free throws made, 2,664 field goals made, 3,030 rebounds and 449 steals. Following his playing career, Mitchell went into coaching as an assistant for the Milwaukee Bucks, and Charlotte Bobcats before being named the sixth head coach of the Toronto Raptors in 2005. Two years later, he led Toronto to its first-ever Atlantic Division title, a franchise-record tying 47 wins and was named the NBA Coach of the Year. Mitchell was born September 2, 1963. He and his wife, Anita, have four children: Morgann and Maya, and twins Rhagan and Rhana. He has been active in numerous charitable efforts through the years, particularly with the Special Olympics.

THIS IS MERCER

MERCER BASKETBALL

Mercer University What distinguishes a good university from a great university extends far beyond the boundaries of its curriculum and its campus. The competence and character of an institution’s graduates are, more often than not, the hallmarks by which its reputation is both earned and measured. As a private, co-educational institution, Mercer University has emerged as one of the premier universities in the Southeast and the nation. Mercer is truly a dynamic and comprehensive center of undergraduate, graduate and professional education. Mercer’s outstanding faculty take students beyond the rigors of academic programs to explore the challenges of reason, responsibility, compassion and character. Through learning, living and leading, Mercer students are prepared not only to confront, but also to embrace the challenges of their future. Under the leadership of prominent Georgia Baptist leader Jesse Mercer, Mercer University was founded in Penfield, Ga., in 1833 and later moved to Macon in 1871. From its humble beginnings as a small liberal arts college, Mercer now offers programs in 11 schools and colleges. Conveniently located in the middle of the state, Macon serves as the educational, medical, cultural and commercial hub of central Georgia. Located just one hour from Atlanta - one of the nation’s most popular international cities - and two hours from the Atlantic coast, Macon is easily accessible from two interstate highways - I-75 and I-16. Consistently ranked by U.S. News & World Report and The Princeton Review among the nation’s leading universities, Mercer considers one of its strengths to be its superior faculty, who “teach from the heart.” At Mercer, students benefit from learning experiences guided by caring faculty, not teaching assistants found at many universities as is the case at many universities. The Higher Education Research Institute at UCLA recently named Mercer as a “highly selective” university, and The Princeton Review has placed Mercer among the Best 351 Colleges in North America. The University is comprised of the College of Liberal Arts, the Walter F. George School of Law, the School of Pharmacy and Health Services, the School of Medicine, the Eugene W. Stetson School of Business and Economics, the School of Engineering, the James and Carolyn McAfee School of Theology, the Tift College of Education, the Georgia Baptist College of Nursing, the College of Continuing and Professional Studies, and the Townsend School of Music. The University also operates the Mercer University Press in Macon and the Mercer Engineering Research Center in Warner Robins. Mercer’s enrollment is nearly 7,400 students. While many students come from the Southeast, more than 38 states and 30 countries are represented among the student body. The average class size at Mercer is 21, with a student/faculty ratio of 13:1 - unusually low for a major university.

Campus Life Even with its picturesque setting, the spirit of Mercer is not in the grandeur of its buildings, but in the graciousness of its people - a friendly, family-like community of faculty, staff and students who strive for excellence in all that they do. The University offers a wealth of fascinating experiences and activities both in and outside the classroom. From academic clubs and honor societies, to performing arts and special interest groups, to 16 national fraternities and sororities on campus, students can choose from more than 80 on-campus organizations to discover new talents and interests and to gain important leadership skills they will need for life after college. Residence Life The benefits of campus living are numerous - the development of life-long friendships, a sense of community, enhancing campus involvement and higher academic performance. For many new students, this is the first time they have lived away from home, and the community that develops on campus and in residence halls becomes a second family. All freshman and sophomores (first-year and/or transfer students) are required to live on campus, with the exception of married students, students above the age of 21, students with children and/or students who live at home with a parent or guardian within reasonable commuting distance. In each of Mercer’s residence halls, safety comes first and foremost. The exterior doors are locked at all times, and students use their identification cards to gain access into their residence hall.

2009 2010 Locker Room Each of the Mercerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s team sports has a state-of-the-art locker room in the University Center. Attached to each locker room is a player lounge, complete with a big-screen TV, sound system and comfortable seating.

Weight Room Another state-of-the-art addition to Mercer, the weight room is home to three power lifting stations, abundant free weights and state-of-the art cardio equipment.

Indoor Pool The indoor pool at the University Center is a collegiate size lap pool that is utilized for aqua-therapy for rehabilitation of student-athletes.

Heritage Hall When walking into the U.C. for the first time, you get a look at Mercerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s historic past with a glimpse of the future. Heritage Hall is home to memorabilia from Mercerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s historic athletic achievements as well as the athletic Hall of Fame.

Sports Medicine A comprehensive therapeutic setting provides medical coverage for all studentathletes. It is staffed by two full-time employees and five graduate assistants who are licensed and certified to practice.

MERCER BASKETBALL

University Center Mercer broke ground on the centerpiece of the Macon campus in the fall of 2001. The University Center has become one of the premier venues in the nation for college basketball and volleyball. The $40 million facility has become the focal point for almost all campus activities, providing students with an area for study, a food court, and a coffee shop. The â&#x20AC;&#x153;Streetâ&#x20AC;? is a tree-lined, sunlit indoor patio, providing students with an area to study, socialize, and dine on cuisine from the food court, including Chic Fil-A, Subway, Grille Works, and Sushi Hot Bowls. Java City is a coffee shop and internet cafĂŠ for students to use either with high-speed connections throughout the floor area with the wireless internet connections, or with Java City's computers.

Athletes and trainers also have the use of a complete athletic training room, with the latest in injury treatment and prevention equipment. The University Center is also home for Mercer University Athletics, with offices for all the athletic administration and coaching offices. These offices give coaches at Mercer an incredible advantage in recruiting, allowing potential student-athletes to see first hand the facility that will be their home base for their career at Mercer. The University Center, on top of all the other amenities, is the home for Mercer basketball and volleyball. There are two full courts, one designated as the practice court, and the main floor in the center of the arena in the University Center. The main court is surrounded by 3,200 seats for basketball and volleyball, but can be expanded for up to 4,080 with floor seating for concerts. Three skyboxes at mid-court provide a birds-eye view of the action on the floor. Full access to both phone and high-speed internet is available courtside for media members and visiting sports information directors. The media room in the athletic offices below court level is capable of handling up to 10 separate phone lines and 20 internet connections. The main entrance into the Arena at the University Center is Mercer's Heritage Hall. This is a collection recognizing some of Mercer's most important alumni, faculty and staff. There are many different displays, including the Mercer Hall of Fame which honors the accomplishments of Mercerians through the years. Displays also include the history of Mercer Athletics and a History of Mercer itself. The University Center has provided Mercer University students, athletes, faculty, and staff with a state of the art facility for study, recreation, and community. Potential students and potential student-athletes view the facility as something they can use to improve their college experience.

Strength & Conditioning The strength and conditioning program at Mercer has three primary goals. These goals are to maximize athleticism, minimize injuries and increase mental/physical toughness.

Facility upgrades have been a priority since he became athletics director, as evidenced by the state-of-the-art University Center, home to the men's and women's basketball teams as well as volleyball. The $40-million facility opened in January 2004. The building houses offices for all coaches as well as locker rooms for all teams. The latest addition was the renovation of the soccer field over the summer of 2009 which will also serve as the home site for lacrosse matches. Two additional practice fields are under construction to accommodate both lacrosse and soccer.
