2009-10 Golden Eagle Outlook

BRIGHT FUTURE AHEAD

Experienced seniors and talented youngsters set to take on one of the toughest schedules facing a Golden Eagle squad in decades

Will Barnes

With eight letter-winners returning from a season ago, the Golden Eagles bring a host of experience and talent back to the court for the 2009-10 season, the eighth under head coach Mike Sutton. But Tech is still one of the youngest teams in Frank the OVC with a bright future ahead. Davis Leading the way is a trio of seniors Will Barnes, Frank Davis and Elijah Cunningham-Muhammad - who will anchor Tech’s backcourt. Barnes and Davis will each be playing their fourth year as a Golden Elijah Eagle, and have already left their mark Cunninghamon the program. Barnes has averaged 6.8 Muhammad points-per-game throughout his career at Tech, including a career-high 9.8 ppg last season. He is 25th on Tech’s all-time assists list with 163 helpers in his career, and is the Golden Eagles reigning offensive MVP. Davis is on pace to set Tech’s career record in three-pointers made. With 163 entering the 2009-10 season he needs just 47 to tie the record of 210 held by Josh Heard. Davis made 76 three-pointers a season ago, and 67 as a sophomore in 2007-08. Tech will also bring back junior Alfred Jones, and sophomores Kevin Murphy, Zach Bailey, Bassey Inameti and Riley Hunley. Murphy earned Ohio Valley Conference all-newcomer honors and Tech’s Most Improved Player award last season, and is poised for an all-conference caliber season in 2009-10. Bailey was Tech’s best defensive player as a freshman last season, and Inameti played in all 30 games, making seven starts in his freshman campaign. The experienced upperclassmen will be joined by a talented group of newcomers. Tech’s three incoming freshmen include Terrell Barnes and Jud Dillard, who were high school teammates at Riverdale High School in Riverdale, Ga. Nearby Livingston,

Tenn., native Chase Dunn, an explosive scorer with all-around talent, and redshirt-freshman Charles Newton round out the freshman class. Byron Pickens, a junior transfer from Mineral Area Community College in Missouri and junior Zac Swansey, a transfer from the University of Georgia are also new to the Golden Eagle squad. Swansey will sit out the 2009-10 season due to NCAA transfer rules before finishing his final two years of eligibility as a Golden Eagle. “I like our kids, and I like our team,” Tennessee Tech head coach Mike Sutton said. “We won’t be as big, but I think we’ll be a little more athletic, a little better handling the ball, and I think we’ll be an exciting team to watch with the kind of young people that we have, so I’m really excited about this year’s team.” The Golden Eagles were picked to finish seventh in the OVC by the league’s head coaches and Sports Information Directors, but the team has higher expectations for itself. “Each year you want to do your absolute best to win the conference,” Sutton said. “To get a home game in the first round of the OVC tournament, which means you have to finish in the top four, that’s one of the things that you set your sites on.” Tech’s 18-game OVC schedule opens with a road game at Jacksonville State on Dec. 5, the only league game for the Golden Eagles until January. After hosting Bryan College on Dec. 20 and Union on Dec. 30, Tech resumes league action with a road trip to Southeast Missouri and Eastern Illinois, Jan. 2-4. Tech’s first OVC home game is Jan. 7 against Morehead State, who won the league tournament and represented the OVC in the NCAA Tournament. That game opens a crucial stretch where Tech plays six of eight OVC games at home.

2009-10 Golden Eagle Outlook That homecourt edge will be as important as ever in the tough league race, according to Sutton. “The league has continued to get stronger from top-to-bottom,” Sutton said. “We want to be really tough at home, and try to steal some games on the road in a very competitive league. There are a lot of teams who return a lot of players and went deep into the conference tournament last year.” The league slate includes two games with UT Martin, a team which reached the post-season with a visit to the NIT. The Skyhawks are led by one of three new coaches in the OVC. “There are three new coaches in the league, and I think you’ll see some changes at those places,” Sutton said. “The strength of our league will increase because there are a lot of teams who have the potential to finish in the top half of the league.” In addition to Tech’s tough OVC schedule, the Golden Eagles will have maybe their most challenging nonconference schedule in two decades. Tech will begin the season with visits to Minnesota, Memphis and Kansas on the first three Friday’s of the season. “We’ve always had a good schedule, but this could be the toughest of all,” Sutton said. “We have five very difficult games early in the schedule, including on the road at potentially the No. 1 team in the country in Kansas and a couple of Top 10 or Top 20 teams in Memphis and Minnesota. Victories will be well-earned with this schedule as we could play really well and come up short against all of these teams, even at home.” Besides those top-notch opponents, the Golden Eagles will host Ball State and Evansville in Eblen Center, and late in the year face a road game against what could be another outstanding opponent in a Bracket Buster contest. “Evansville and Ball State are two non-conference teams from high conferences,” Sutton said. “It is by far the toughest schedule we’ve played here, and it’s a

challenge, but we’re looking forward to the challenges.” As part of the Hall of Fame Showcase, Tech will play games at Memphis, Kansas and Central Arkansas, and host Oakland University. “The Hall of Fame Showcase is a good thing because we get a home game out of the deal, but the problem is that home game is against an Oakland team which is really good,” Sutton said. “They’ve got a lot of guys back, and they won 23 games last year. That makes the schedule even more challenging.” Tech opens the regular season on Friday, Nov. 13, at Big Ten foe Minnesota, coached by Sutton’s friend and former mentor, Tubby Smith. “It’s the season opener, and it will be difficult,” Sutton said. “Minnesota is extremely talented, they’re coming off an NCAA tournament bid, and they’re very excited about basketball up there. The game is already sold out, and they’re good.” Tech is scheduled to participate once again in a Bracket Buster game on Feb. 20, but won’t know its opponent until close to the event. After that, the Golden Eagles host Jacksonville State on Feb. 27 to close out the regular season. The OVC Tournament is March 2-6, with the top eight teams playing in the first round and the four surviving squads advancing to the finals in Nashville.

Head Coach Mike Sutton background and I think that variety lends itself towards producing a comfort level at this job,” Sutton said. “I want to be supportive of every program at Tennessee Tech University and I want the coaches to know they can count on me if they need me. We have to remember that we’re in this together, serving the students, and I want to do my part.” Sutton began coaching as an assistant at his high school alma mater, D.H. Conley High School, while attending East Carolina University. After spending the 1978-79 season as an assistant coach at Lees-McRae (N.C.) Junior College, he was hired by Tubby Smith as an assistant for the 1979-80 season at Hoke County High School in Raeford, N.C. Before the season began, Smith left for an assistant coaching position at Virginia Commonwealth University, leaving Sutton behind but only temporarily. The next year, the two were reunited as assistants at VCU, helping the Rams advance to the 1981 NCAA Tournament. Sutton then left the college ranks and became head coach at Meadowbrook High School in Richmond, Va., taking over a downtrodden program that had tallied a 1-19 record the previous season. He turned the program around during his 13-year career from 1981-94, leading the team to the Class AAA State Championship in his final season. His coaching efforts earned him The Associated Press Coach of the Year award for 1993-94. He compiled a 176-122 record at Meadowbrook before rejoining Smith

at Tulsa. Including Kentucky, he has had five coaching stops with Smith. While coaching the Wildcats, Sutton’s duties included on-floor coaching and offcampus recruiting. He helped lead Kentucky to three Southeastern Conference regular season championships and three SEC tournament titles. The team played in the NCAA tournament all five seasons he was with the Wildcats, claiming the national title in 1998 with a 35-4 overall record. “In Mike Sutton, you will find a man who invokes an image of integrity, class and enthusiasm,” said University of Minnesota coach Tubby Smith, Sutton’s friend and former boss at Kentucky. “Mike’s work ethic, character and desire to be successful will all serve him well, and he understands that academics must be the first priority of the students. He is a true “team player” and he will bring an up-tempo style of play in a well-coached system that will be fun to watch. His teams will be disciplined, on and off the court.” Sutton was named, as Tech’s 11th men’s basketball head coach in April 2002. “We are very excited about Mike Sutton heading up our men’s basketball program,” said Tech president Bob Bell upon the hiring of the energetic new coach. “Throughout his entire career he has not only been a successful coach, but has proven that he is also committed to outstanding academics.” Sutton appreciates the pace of life at

Tennessee Tech. “One of the things that impresses me the most is the team and family atmosphere at the school,” Sutton said. “Every one is very supportive of the program and shows a genuine interest in the players. “The young men in the program are a great group and I really enjoy coaching them,” Sutton added. “I am really impressed by their attitude and the way they are respected by the people associated with the athletic department and the school. “Tennessee Tech students, staff, alumni, fans and the Cookeville community can look forward to exciting times in the future as the Golden Eagle basketball team continues to build on the Tennessee Tech tradition.” He received his bachelor’s degree in Health and Physical Education from East Carolina University in 1978, and his master’s degree in Health and Physical Education from Appalachian State University in 1979. Born March 21, 1956, in Farmville, N.C., Mike and his wife, Karen, have two children — Kelly Kern of Fort Mill, S.C. and Scott Hughes of St. Petersburg, Fla. The Suttons have four grandchildren — Grace Sutton Kern (8), Georgia Katherine Kern (5) and Evelyn Riley Hughes (4).Their newest granddaughter Audrey Elizabeth “Libby” Kern was born Feb. 2, 2009.

Steve Payne enters his eighth season as the associate head coach for Mike Sutton and the Golden Eagles. Payne has helped Tech and the Golden Eagle basketball program win 114 games over the past seven seasons including an OVC championship team in 2004-05. Prior to the 2009-10 season, CollegeInsider.com ranked Payne No. 19 among the nations top 25 mid-major assistant coaches. Payne was the only coach in the OVC to be put on the list. Payne stepped forward to take on a major role in directing the day-to-day operation of the Golden Eagle program during Sutton’s recovery from Guillain-Barré Syndrome. At the end of the team’s 2006-2007, 19-12 campaign, Payne was recognized twice for the part he played in the team’s success. An award normally given to head coaches, he was named by CollegeInsider.com as the Ohio Valley Conference Coach of the Year and was listed as one of 15 finalists for the 2006 Hugh Durham Award honoring the mid-major Coach of the Year. He was also named the OVC

Coach of the Year by CBSsportsline.com. It was unusual — but well-deserved — recognition for an assistant coach. After serving as the head coach at Frank Phillips Junior College in Borger, Texas, Payne came to the Golden Eagle program in 2002 with over a decade of coaching experience. Before he took over the reins at Frank Phillips Junior College, Payne was an associate head coach for four years under

Tommy Deffebaugh begins his third season on coach Mike Sutton’s staff. Deffebaugh has been in the college coaching business for 20 years, and brings a great coaching pedigree to the Tech program with an abundance of coaching, teaching and recruiting experience. Prior to his three years at Dartmouth, Deffebaugh was an assistant coach at the University of South Florida for the 2003-04 season. He held similar positions at the University of Missouri-Rolla (1989-1991), Drury (1991-93), Southern Illinois (1993-97), Oral Roberts (1997-99), Southwest Missouri State (1999-2002) and Western Michigan (2002-03).

But getting Alex Barrnett to Dartmouth, where he became only the second Darthmouth player to earn Ivy League Player of the Year honors after the 2008-09 season, was no doubt his most fulfilling recruiting achievment. Tommy’s postseason experience expands over three decades. He played in the NAIA National Tournament in 1983-85. He coached Drury University in the NAIA Tournament in 1992. He coached Southern Illinois to a pair of NCAA appearences in 1994 and ‘95, and coached two different teams to the second round of the NIT (Missouri State, 2000, Western Michigan, 2003).

2008-09 Season in Review Tech clinches OVC tournament berth in regular-season finale; Walker receives team’s top honors The Golden Eagles found themselves playing for their lives on the final day of the regular season in 2008-09, as they visited Jacksonville State tied with the Gamecocks for the eighth and final spot in the Ohio Valley Conference Zac Walker tournament. Tech’s fate would never be in question throughout that game, as the Golden Eagles set a school record converting 29-of-30 free throws en route to a 91-74 disposal of JSU and their 22nd consecutive bid to the OVC tournament. But Tech would run into back-to-back OVC Player of the Year Lester Hudson and No. 1 seed UT Martin in the opening round of the OVC tournament, where the Skyhawks would end Tech’s season with a 12-18 record, and a 6-12 mark in OVC play. The 2008-09 squad had the third most blocks of any team in Tech history with 165, 16 short of the school record 181 set in 1994-95. 2009-10 senior Frank Davis tied five other former Golden Eagles for the second most three-pointers made in a game when he hit seven against Eastern Kentucky, and he moved into third place for three-pointers made in a career with 163. He needs 48 more in 2009-10 to pass Josh Heard as Tech’s all-time leader in that category. Davis made 67 and 76 three-pointers in his last two seasons. Davis also moved into 13th place on Tech’s all-time steals list, another list he will continue to climb in 2009-10. Senior Zac Walker was the recipient of the Sam Harley Lynn Award for his overall contributions to the Tennessee Tech men’s basketball program,

and also captured the John P. Hendrix Leadership Award, as head coach Mike Sutton announced the team’s 2008-09 award winners. “I can’t imagine anybody who has given more time and effort to our program than Zac Walker,” Sutton said of his senior guard from Columbia, Tenn. “He was only on scholarship for one year and he missed two seasons with knee injuries, yet he never stopped fighting. I’m really proud of his efforts. Zac has unbelievable character, his academics are outstanding, and he was a leader throughout his career with his citizenship and sportsmanship.” Senior Daniel Northern was named the Most Valuable Player for the Golden Eagles, one of numerous honors presented by Sutton at the team’s annual Awards Dinner. The Golden Eagle Award was shared by Alfred Jones and Zach Newton, while the two Academic Awards went to Davis and Riley Hunley. Freshman Kevin Murphy, who earned OVC all-newcomer honors, received the team’s Most Improved Player award. The Best Offensive Player honor went to Will Barnes, while freshman Zach Bailey was named the Best Defensive player. Northern earned second-team Kevin Murphy all-OVC and NABC all-district honors

2008-09 Season in Review after leading Tech in scoring, rebounds and blocked shots in his senior season. He averaged 12.6 points and 8.8 rebounds per game, and blocked 73 shots in 29 games. He finished his career ranked second in blocked shots. “Daniel was our leading scorer and rebounder, as well as blocked shots, named second-team all-OVC, and was an obvious choice for the MVP award,” Sutton said. All three of Tech’s senior players – Walker, Northern and Ra’Shun Bryant -- plus three senior managers -- Greg August, Andy Harrell and Justin Stanford -- earned their degrees in May. “That’s the important thing,” Sutton said. “They came here for an education, and they leave with their degree.” The Golden Eagle Award was shared by Jones and Newton. Jones was a sophomore playing his first season at Tech after a year at Lincoln College. He played in all 30 games, starting 11, and averaged 4.0 points and 2.3 rebounds per game. Newton spent the year as a redshirt. “Alfred was a first-year player who came in and competed every single day,” Sutton said. “He never complained about anything, and he just fought and fought, and was solid in many areas. Zach was a redshirt, but he still had an outstanding work ethic in practice or when working out on his own. Both of them just showed great effort every single day.” The Best Offensive Player Award went to Barnes, a guard who started 24 games and played in all 30 contests, splitting his time between point and wing. He was third on the team in scoring, averaging 9.8 points per game, while shooting 48.3 percent from the field and 38 percent from long range. The junior from Tuscaloosa, Ala., was second on the team in assists with 82 and third in steals with 34. “If you look at everything Will did for our offense, he had the greatest impact on our game,” Sutton said. “He had a high shooting percentage and he was second in assists by one.

Even though he was not our leading scorer, if you consider his involvement with his playmaking skills, he really had the greatest impact.” Bailey, a freshman from Ft. Lauderdale, Fla., earned the Best Defensive Player Award. He played in all 30 games, averaging 4.0 points and 2.7 rebounds, to go along with 20 steals. “Even as a freshman, he was our best defender,” Sutton said. “He was tough and smart, and he always played hard. He takes a lot of pride in being able to defend his man.” Another freshman, Kevin Murphy, won the Most Improved Player Award. A 6-6 swingman from Fairburn, Ga., Murphy finished third on the team in scoring in OVC action with 10.7 points per game. He shot 42.4 percent from long range against the league, and also averaged 3.3 rebounds. “From the start of the season to the end, Kevin was our most improved player,” Sutton said. “He gained a better understanding of our system. He was an explosive offensive player, and he got to be a better rebounder as the season went on.” The Academic Award for the best GPA during the fall semester went to Hunley, a walk-on guard from Knoxville, who posted a perfect 4.0 average. The Cumulative GPA Award went to junior Frank Davis, who was also named CoSIDA Academic All-District following the season. “If he keeps that up, Riley might win that award every year for the next four years,” Sutton said. “He is an outstanding student and a tremendously dedicated young man. “Frank did a good job, despite playing through pain all season with a stress fracture in his back,” Sutton said of the junior guard from Gainesville, Ga., “He’s a good student and he is a really unselfish player.” Davis was second on the team in scoring, averaging 10.0 points per game, and led the team with 44 steals. He connected on a team-best 42.9 percent of his shots to rank second in the OVC. He was seventh in the league in both 3-pointers per game and steals. Elijah Cunningham-Muhammad, a junior guard from Columbus, Ohio, won the Top Assists and Free Throw awards. He led Tech with 83 assists, and shot 80.8 percent (42-for-52) at the charity stripe. Northern captured the Top Rebounder Award and Blocked Shots Award, while Davis received the Steals Leader and 3-Point Shooter awards. Bassey Inameti, a redshirt freshman from Lawrenceville, Ga., took home the Field Goal Percentage Award, shooting 59.1 percent in his rookie season. The 6-8 center shot 61.4 percent against OVC foes.

The Ohio Valley Conference

From left: Beth DeBauche, Commissioner; Jennifer Gibbs, Assistant Commissioner for Championships; Heather Brown, Director of Media Relations; Brian Pulley, Assistant Commissioner for External Affairs; Kyle Schwartz, Assistant Commissioner for Media Relations; Brad Walker, Associate Commissioner/Chief Operating Officer.

Entering its 62nd year, the Ohio Valley Conference continues to build on the success that has made it the nation’s eighth-oldest NCAA Division I conference. For only the second time in a decade, the Conference expanded by adding Southern Illinois University Edwardsville as the league’s 11th member in 2008. The move expanded the OVC’s geographical footprint to the St. Louis market and marked the first change in membership since expanding to the state of Alabama (Jacksonville State, Samford) in 2003. The 2009-10 school year saw a change in leadership as Beth DeBauche was named the seventh full-time Commissioner in league history on July 28. She is currently one of just five females to be the head of a Division I conference, and one of just eight to lead a Division I conference all-time. The last three commissioners of the OVC have moved onto jobs as the commissioner of the Big Ten, Big 12 and the Mid-American Conferences. The OVC’s proud past dates back to 1948, but seeds for the new league were actually planted in 1941. It was then that Roy Stewart, the athletics director at Murray State, Charles (Turkey) Hughes, the athletics director at Eastern Kentucky, and Kelly Thompson, the public relations director at Western Kentucky, first broached the idea of forming a new conference. Discussions were put on hold by World War II, but reemerged Feb. 27-28, 1948 at the Kentucky Hotel in Louisville as the three original institutions combined with Morehead State, Louisville and Evansville to form the OVC. In 1955, the OVC became only the second sixmember league nationally to earn an automatic bid to the prestigious NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament, which, at that time, was limited to only 24 participants. The Conference quickly proved worthy of that bid, as Morehead State defeated Marshall (107-92) and Wayne State (95-84) in the 1956 tournament. Fifteen years later, former OVC member Western Kentucky became the first and only Conference team to reach the Final Four. The Hilltoppers defeated Jacksonville, Kentucky and Ohio State before losing to Villanova in double overtime. WKU went on to finish in third place after beating Kansas 77-75 in the consolation game. Since that time, the OVC has recorded some of the biggest upsets in the history of the NCAA Tournament. Perhaps the most famous moment came in 1987, when Austin Peay came from fourth place in the regular season to win the OVC Tournament and earn the league’s automatic bid. The Governors drew powerful Illinois, and were such big underdogs, that ESPN broadcaster Dick Vitale promised to stand on his head if APSU won the game. After a 68-67 victory over the Illini, and a narrow 90-87 overtime loss to eventual Final Four participant Providence in the second round, Vitale made good on his promise in a visit to Clarksville two months later. Murray State added to the OVC’s string of upsets

drafted by the Boston Celtics with the No. 58 pick of the 2009 NBA Draft. Hudson became the first draft pick for the league since 2004 and only the third pick of the last decade for the OVC. The playing field is not the only place where OVC athletes are working hard. The league also recognizes excellence in the classroom. Six Scholar-Athlete Awards are presented yearly to male and female athletes, while others are commended for their academic success by being Medal of Honor recipients or earning a spot on the Commissioner’s Honor Roll. Additionally, the league annually presents one institutional Academic Achievement Award, as well as separate team awards in each Conference-sponsored sport. Since the College Sports Information Directors of American (CoSIDA) Academic All-America program began, the Ohio Valley Conference has had 179 student-athletes honored with the award, including 25 over the last three years in 1988 when it knocked off 14th-ranked North Carolina State, 78-75. The Racers’ M&M Boys - Jeff Martin and Don (2006-07 to the present). Additionally, the OVC annually presents the Steve Mann - combined for 39 points in the win.

TENNESSEE TECH MEN’S BASKETBALL MEDIA GUIDE / 2009-10

here's no question Tennessee Tech University is a great place to get an education. And Cookeville is a great college town. The largest micropolitan area in Tennessee and one of the top 40 micropolitan areas in the nation, Cookeville has consistently been rated among the top 10 most affordable regions in the nation. Cookeville boasts a mild climate, with an average temperature of 57 and four distinct seasons. Located within a day's drive of 75 percent of the nation's population, Cookeville is just off Interstate 40, which runs from the east coast to California. City life is easily accessible, as well, because Cookeville is situated within 100 miles of Nashville, Knoxville and Chattanooga — three of Tennessee's major metropolitan areas. The seat of Putnam County, Cookeville is the heart of a three-county alliance known as the Highlands, which centers Tennessee's 14-county Upper Cumberland region. We have hundreds of acres of unspoiled nature — from championship golf courses to natural preserves, state parks and top-rated lakes — close to home.There's plenty of nature inside the city limits, too; the City of Cookeville tends nine parks, including Cane Creek Park, a 262-acre natural area with a 56-acre lake. And while Cookeville is a relatively small town, we have no lack of culture. We are one of the smallest cities in the U.S. with a full-blown symphony orchestra, and our area attracts visual artists and craftspeople from across the nation, thanks to the Appalachian Center for Craft, a satellite campus of TTU. Drama also takes center stage here, with the 456-seat Cookeville Performing Arts Center cranking out productions year-round, including the award-winning Drama Center Backstage series. Cookeville is home to three museums — the Cookeville Depot Museum, the Cookeville History Museum and the Cookeville Children's Museum — and a year-round slate of events, including regular excursion trains and the annual Fall FunFest. A walkable downtown shopping district and an impressive roster of national chain stores give the retail segment a small-town feel with big-city convenience. Add to that our more than 100 restaurants and 1,400 hotel rooms, and you'll quickly see that Cookeville offers something for everyone.

THIS IS TENNESSEE TECH u One of the “Top Southern Public Universities” by U.S. News & World Report u One of the “Best Southeastern Universities” and “America’s Best College Values” by The Princeton Review u Among “America’s 100 Best College Buys” by Institutional Research and Evaluations, Inc. Where Quality Counts

For more than 90 years, Tennessee Tech has served the various needs of the region, the state and beyond. Not only is Tech renowned as a fine institution of higher education, it also serves as a public resource center and encourages scholarly research and creative activity by its faculty and students. Today, Tech makes a number of contributions to economic development locally, regionally and nationally. Tech’s 65,000-plus alumni occupy positions of leadership in education, business, industry, government and public service. Tennessee Tech is widely known as an institution noted for its academic quality -- an institution where the energies of the faculty, staff and students are devoted to ensuring that the university’s quality is maintained and enhanced. The university’s vision is guided by the “T.E.C.H.” framework — technological leadership, enrollment growth, a caring campus, and high quality. The university is divided into seven academic divisions offering 44 programs of study leading to the bachelor’s degree and 20 programs of study at the graduate level. More than 75 percent of the 370 full-time faculty members hold doctoral degrees. Considered one of the most picturesque campuses in the South -and one of the safest -- the buildings carry an attractive Georgian style of architecture that lends the Tech campus an Ivy-league character. Tech was established in 1915 as Tennessee Polytechnic Institute, located on the site of its forerunner, Dixie College. TPI gained university

Why we're the Golden Eagles

status in 1965, reflecting the institution’s role as a multipurpose, state-supported university. Tech’s current enrollment continues to include students from almost all 95 Tennessee counties, along with students from more than 40 other states and about 40 foreign countries.

Campus Life

Tennessee Tech students know that there is a lot more to college life than what goes on in the classroom. Nearly 200 student organizations on campus offer activities ranging from academic, athletic, cultural, political, community-oriented, social to spiritual. At Tech, it’s easy to get involved and make friends. Campus recreation coordinates 11 intramural and club sports: basketball, bowling, flag football, golf, racquetball, rugby, soccer, softball, tennis, volleyball and wrestling. The Fitness Center is a free, full-service health club for students. It houses a fully equipped weight room, 25-meter indoor pool, cardiovascular equipment and an indoor track. Tech is also a center for the arts, presenting concerts, theatre productions, lectures, dance performances, films, workshops, demonstrations and art exhibits each year. And, of course there’s always an athletics event to attend. Tennessee Tech’s athletic teams compete in the Ohio Valley Conference for 16 sports on the NCAA Division I level, and students can attend all regular season athletic events absolutely free!

The Tennessee Tech Athletic Department unveiled a new brand on Aug. 31, 2006, with an all-new set of logos for the Golden Eagles. The brand is new, but the tradition remains -the name Golden Eagles. How did TTU adopt the name? In the first quarter of this century, Tennessee Polytechnic Institute was a tiny school, located in the rugged, mountainous Upper Cumberland region where Golden Eagles were plentiful, soaring above the lush, upland forests. It's easy to understand how those early students and faculty could narrow their choices for their athletic team's nicknames to "Golden Eagles" or "Mountaineers." On February 14, 1925, the nickname "Golden Eagles " was officially adopted. The school newspaper, The Oracle, printed a story that outlined the efforts of a committee to suggest several possible nicknames to Athletic Association members for their consideration. The two most popular names were "Golden Eagles" and "Mountaineers," and the association, by a vote of 139-18, proudly declared its preference. It wasn't until 27 years later that a tangible mascot found its way to the campus. Several Tech

students braved a driving night rainstorm to pilfer a huge block-tin eagle statue from the charred ruins of a resort hotel in Monteagle. They painted the creature - with a wingspan of over six feet - a glistening gold, and suspended it from the rafter for public inspection at the following day's basketball game in Memorial Gym. Then-Governor Frank G. Clement, a lifelong friend of the hotel owner, was in Cookeville to speak . He worked out a compromise between his friend and the school students, who wanted to retain the eagle as their mascot. Over the years, a wide variety of artwork and drawings have been used to represent the Tennessee Tech Golden Eagles. Some of those include a drawing which appeared in media guides in the mid 1970s, and a cartoon-style mascots in the early 1980s that was dubbed ‘the purple chicken” by Tech students.

ATHLETIC ADMINISTRATION DR. ROBERT (BOB) BELL University President - Florida 1969 Dr. Robert (Bob) Bell, now in his 10th year as President of Tennessee Tech, is an avid supporter of TTU and Ohio Valley Conference sports. He currently chairs the OVC President’s Board of Directors. Bell became TTU’s President in 2000 after serving as dean, associate dean, assistant dean, and a chairperson in the university’s College of Business. After taking the post, he oversaw the reorganization of the athletics department, bringing in a full-time athletics director for the first time in almost 20 years. He has also been involved in statewide economic development on behalf of the Tennessee Higher Education Commission, working on the THEC master plan focusing on links among higher education and stakeholders in business, health care and state government. Bell has served four terms on the Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award’s Board of Examiners and was appointed a charter member of the Tennessee Center for Performance Excellence in 1992, serving on the group’s panel of judges from 1994 to 2005. He represented Tennessee as a state delegate to the White House Conference on North American Free Trade Agreement in 1994 and spent two years as an economic development consultant for the nation of Mauritius.

Dr. Bell has served on or chaired a variety of professional, regional and national organizations, including the American Association of Collegiate Schools of Business International, the Southern Business Association, the North American Case Research Association, the Tennessee College Association, and a number of Tennessee higher education task forces, among others. In 2005, Bell was named the first recipient of the Ned R. McWherter Leadership Award, presented by the Tennessee Center for Performance Excellence. In the scholarly arena, he has been published extensively in the fields of management, organizational design, computer science and quality/productivity management, authoring two books and more than 70 articles, case studies and papers.

MARK WILSON Director of Athletics - Maine 1991 Mark Wilson’s first five years as Director of Athletics at Tennessee Tech have been highlighted by vision, energy, and enthusiasm. Those factors have facilitated growth and excellence in all areas and have placed the focus on generating a better studentathlete experience. In 2007, Wilson received a five-year contract extension to keep him at the helm of the Golden Eagle athletic programs through 2012. Wilson was recently appointed to a position on the NCAA Leadership Council through April, 2011. It will give the Ohio Valley Conference, TTU and Wilson a voice in a variety of strategic decisions that can affect intercollegiate athletics. Wilson, 40, has led Athletics to several milestone accomplishments during his first four years, including enhanced facilities and fund raising, high profile staff additions, and compliance and academic success. Under Wilson’s guidance, the program has continued to focus on the academic success of its student-athletes, with soaring numbers each semester on the Athletic Director’s Honor Roll. Tech’s student-athletes have achieved their highest overall combined semester GPAs. Wilson also developed a strategic plan for Tech’s athletic facilities and has already seen some of those plans become reality. During the past two years, Tech has completed several construction projects to athletic facilities, including resurfacing the outdoor tennis courts, a new natural grass practice field, installation of new turf in Tucker Stadium, renovating the running track, renovating the football offices, meeting rooms and locker rooms, new lights at Tucker Stadium and installation of electronic targets in the rifle

rage. Most recently, Athletics opened a spacious, new basketball office complex in Eblen Center. Additional building plans call for a new strength and conditioning facility and a student-athlete center. Another step achieved under Wilson’s direction has been increased fund raising and development efforts with the goal of providing the necessary resources for Tech’s student-athletes, coaches and staff. All of those accomplishments have come while the department has continued to stay focused on compliance with all NCAA rules and regulations. Wilson was named Director of Athletics on July 1, 2004. He came to Tennessee Tech from Ohio University. Since his first day at Tech, Wilson has made rapid and steady progress. He began by restructuring the department and implemented plans for a better student-athlete experience. In addition, athletics launched a dynamic new website, gained NCAA certification and was found in complete compliance, created a far-reaching “WIN” program for academic success, opened an entertaining and popular Tailgate Park, and started plans for two capital projects. Before going to Ohio, Mark served as the Director of Athletic Marketing for the University of Massachusetts. He also worked as a graduate assistant in the UMass athletic department and interned with the Northwestern University ticketing and marketing departments. Wilson received his bachelor’s degree in 1991 from the University of Maine in physical education and health, and earned his master’s in sports management from the University of Massachusetts in 1994. Mark and his wife, Michelle, have two daughters, Katey (14) and Meaghan (9).

ACADEMIC SUPPORT

Winning in the Classroom Tennessee Tech’s commitment to its student-athletes is evident. The support personnel and resources available provide Golden Eagle student-athletes with the tools needed for success. The success of Tennessee Tech University’s athletic teams is tied closely to the academic progress of each student-athlete, and the academic performance of each Tech student-athlete is closely monitored by the coaching staff as well as an experienced staff in Academic Services. Tech’s student-athletes continue to excel in the classroom. Each semester, the Athletic Director’s Honor Roll pays tribute to more than 150 students in athletics, including athletes, trainers, managers and cheerleaders, and the overall GPA of the department has climbed steeply in the past six semesters. Student-athletes are the most visible component of a university, entertaining thousands of fans, students, alumni, family and friends. Their athletic abilities and achievements are a focus for national attention, as athletic events not only bring back faithful alumni, but serve as a welcome mat to the university for potential new stu- Marilyn Borch-Jensen dents. Academic Student-athletes devote many hours to practice, conditioning and training in an effort to be the best they Advisement can be. These hours are not required by non-athletes in the student body, and these extra demands can compete Secretary with academics for the student-athlete’s time and energy. The Tech Athletics Department works to provide help with course content (through tutors and monitored study hours) as well as with time management and study skills and any other academic support services that will allow Tech student-athletes to maximize their academic potential.

In this process, Dr. Jasitt serves as a primary liaison between coaches and faculty. A detail-oriented person and a diligent worker, Dr. Jasitt has developed a solid understanding of the operations of the Athletics Department, the staff and the needs of its student-athletes. In addition to his administrative role within Athletics, Dr. Jasitt is also highly involved in promoting reading and literacy at all age levels. He was the 2008-09 president of the TTU Council of the International Reading Association and is still actively involved in that organization. He also has served on the President’s Commission on the Status of Women for seven years. Raised in York, Pa., he earned a bachelor’s degree from Penn State University in 1978 and added a master’s in public administration from Valdosta State University in 1987. In 1993, he received a master’s degree in education from Old Dominion University and added a Ph.D. in literacy education from Tennessee Tech in 2004. Dr. Jasitt is a former Commander in the U.S. Navy. His wife of 29 years, Donna White Jasitt, is a former Captain in the U.S. Navy Reserve. They have two children, Ian and Meagan. Ian is pursuing a second degree in Environmental Geology at Tennessee Tech and plans to graduate in May 2010. Meagan is a junior Pre-Physical Therapy major at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga.

Former volleyball standout Laura Sidorowicz was named Tech’s 2005 NCAA Woman of the Year. She graduated with a 3.911 grade average.

The “WIN” program: Work Intensely Now The WIN Program was implemented in the fall semester of 2004 to provide additional support for freshmen and student-athletes whose general academic progress places them at risk for maintaining eligibility and graduating. The program involves the student-athlete, coach(es), academic advisor, tutors, and others to build academic skills for success. Participation in the program is primarily based on grades, and coaches or the academic advisor may recommend additional participation at any time. All incoming freshmen meet at least one time per week with their coach to discuss academic progress and needs as well as time management and study skill techniques. Other aspects of the program include monitored study hours, tutoring, and study skills workshops.
