2 0 1 1 - 1 2 S e a s o n p re v i e w Golden Eagles set to make a run at the NCAA Tournament The 2010-11 season saw the fruits of the Tennessee Tech women’s basketball team labor come to fruition, as the Golden Eagles captured their 16th Ohio Valley Conference championship. Now in her third season at the helm, the reigning OVC Coach of the Year Sytia Messer will look for that next step from her 2011-12 squad. “People can expect to see our team playing with toughness and passion,” Messer said. “We’ve learned how to win, now we have to take our game to the next level.” During the 2010-11 season, Messer guided the Golden Eagles to a 23-8 record, along with an OVC-best 15-3 record, en route to the program’s 35th winning season. The 23 wins included a 10-game winning streak and at least one victory against every conference rival. “Last season, I saw a team improve from a middleof-the-road team, to a team that captured the OVC Championship,” Messer said. “Our players really bought into our system and vision, and it paid off tremendously.” Tech’s record last season, and its crop of returning talent for the upcoming season, earned TTU the top spot in the OVC Preseason Poll, as the Golden Eagles edged out UT Martin by four points. “The OVC regular season championship is up for grabs,” Messer said. “Three of the top four teams from last season return nearly all of their starters, so each team will have to be ready to play each week.” One thing that Messer can count on as the season opens is the level of leadership and maturity that has been molded over the past two seasons. This year’s team will feature 11 returnees, including four seniors, plus three newcomers, including a pair of transfers.

TTU Seniors 6

TTU Juniors “One of the main things that a lot of people might not see from the stands that a coach sees really well is the amount of leadership our team has this season,” Messer said. “The leadership Tacarra (Hayes) has brought over the last two seasons has been great and she is already taking it to a new level in her senior season.” Of TTU’s returning seniors, no one is more decorated than Hayes. Named to all-OVC team for the second straight season last year, the reigning OVC co-Defensive Player of the Year has been named the OVC Preseason Player of the Year by OVC coaches. Hayes put together a solid junior campaign, finishing atop the Golden Eagles in several categories including points (525), rebounds (234) and assists (145). With her 525 points, Hayes became the 26th member of the 1,000 point club at Tech and she now ranks 18th on the all-time scorers list with 1,208 points. Joining Hayes in the senior class are Brittany Darling, Rachel Glidden and Krystal Stirrup. Darling and Glidden started in all 31 games last season, as they both finished in the team’s top-five in points with 236 and 211 points, respectively. Darling made her presence felt in the paint all season last year, as she finished her first season at Tech with five doubles-doubles and seven OVC Newcomer of the Week awards. Glidden did most of her damage on the perimeter, notching a team-high 47 three point field goals. She also boasted a sharp eye at the charity stripe, connecting on 42-of-48 attempts.

TENNESSEE TECH WOMEN’S BASKETBALL MEDIA GUIDE F 2011-12


2 0 1 1 - 1 2 S e a s o n p re v i e w Stirrup played in 26 games last season and made six starts. The Golden Eagles welcome back three additional upperclassmen in juniors Katherine Barker and twins Kellie and Kylie Cook. The Cooks combined for 48 starts last season, and accounted for a combined 349 points a year ago. Barker made eight appearances last season. TTU also welcomes back four additional players for their second season on the team including sophomores Molly Heady and Briana Jordan, and red-shirt freshmen Diamond Henderson and Candace Parson. Heady, who played in all 31 games as a rookie, finished her freshman season second on the team in scoring with 274 points, to go along with 173 rebounds and one double-double. Her 85.5 shooting percentage from the line topped the OVC charts, as she was named to the OVC all-Newcomer Team. Jordan, also made her presence felt as she finished second on the team in assists with 73, and fourth on the team in points with 231. She started in Tech’s final eight contests of the season, including TTU’s WNIT contest against Auburn. Henderson and Parson, who each suffered season-ending injuries last season, return as red-shirt freshmen looking to make up for lost time. In Tech’s exhibition contest against Bryan College, Henderson dazzled the Tech faithful as she poured in a team-high 22 points. Parson took part in six games last season and tallied seven points and six rebounds against long-time rival Middle Tennessee State. Tech also welcomes in trio of newcomers in junior Jala Harris, sophomore Christina Caddy and freshman T’Keyah Williams.

TTU Freshman A former member of the UAB team, Harris should provide an instant spark to the offense, as she averaged 15 points per game her freshman season. She was named the Conference-USA Freshman of the Year for her efforts. A JUCO transfer out of Barton (Okla.) Community College, Caddy finished her first season averaging 14 points, seven rebounds and four assists per game. Williams, a former teammate of Parson at Dillard High School, was selected by College Sports Madness to finish as the OVC Freshman of the Year, and should help shore up the post. “All three of our newcomers coming in are proven winners,” Messer said. “T’Keyah has won two high school championships and Jala was the Conference-USA Freshman of the Year.” Joining Messer on the bench will be third-year assistant Coretta Brown, along with first-year coach Shellie Greenman. Greenman comes to Tech with more than 20 years of coaching experience, including 10-plus seasons at Virginia Tech. Daphne Mitchell, a former player for Messer at Georgia Tech, also joins the Tech staff. The Golden Eagles open their 2011-12 schedule on the road at East Tennessee State Nov. 11, in the opening round of the WNIT Preseason Tournament. TTU opens its home schedule Nov. 21 against Tennessee Wesleyan. “The Preseason WNIT will give us that tournament experience we need to help get to our ultimate goal which is to make it to the NCAA Tournament,” Messer said. The Golden Eagles open their OVC schedule Dec. 31 at UT Martin, in a rematch of the 2011 OVC Championship game. Tech wraps up its regular season on a threegame homestand, which concludes against Murray State, Feb. 25.

What a difference two years makes. Two years is all head coach Sytia Messer needed to resurrect the once proud Tennessee Tech women’s basketball team to its former glory. When Messer signed on to be the head women’s basketball at Tennessee Tech prior to the 2009-10 season, her main goal was to bring the program back to what it once was: a dominant team and a perennial OVC Championship contender. Messer would only need two seasons to accomplish this as the 2010-11 Golden Eagles not only posted a winning 23-8 record, but also won their first OVC Championship since the 2005-06 season. Now the roles have shifted back to what they once were. Unlike her first two seasons, where Tech was considered an underdog, the Golden Eagles will be one of the odds on favorites to repeat as OVC champions and potentially make it all the way to the NCAA Tournament. And why shouldn’t the expectations be set high as Tech returns all five starters and 92 percent of its scoring from a year ago. With all but two players returning from last year’s squad, and a trio of talented newcomers coming in, it’s no surprise that the Golden Eagles

would have their sights set even higher as the 2011-12 season approaches. Messer’s expertise in recruiting can be traced back to her days as a member of the Georgia Tech coaching staff where she rose to the rank of associate head coach. During her five seasons at Georgia Tech, Messer was the primary architect of five of Georgia Tech’s top recruiting classes. During the 2007-08 season Messer helped recruit the highest-ranked player to ever sign with the program, only to top that accolade a year later as her recruiting class was ranked as high as sixth in the nation. Messer’s recruiting prowess carried over to Tennessee Tech as she brought in the highest ranked recruiting class in OVC History With her excellent recruiting skills, Messer also coaches with a level of intensity that will bring out the best in every player who dons a Tennessee Tech uniform. Messer’s intensity is not isolated on the court, however, as she expects the same kind of effort out of her players in the classroom and the community. During Messer’s second season, her players had a com-

bined 3.2 GPA in the fall semester, and the followed up with a 3.3 GPA in the spring semester en route to 17 AD Honor Roll selections and five OVC Commissioner Honor Roll selections. The Golden Eagles have also been visible in the community, as they have participated in a number of events including Habitat for Humanity and the Fall Fun Fest. Messer’s desire for success can be traced back to her decorated playing career at Arkansas where she played four seasons for the Razorbacks. Messer led the team to a 22-11 record and an NCAA Final Four appearance in 1998 where she was named the Most Valuable Player for the West Regional. Messer and the Razorbacks followed up with a WNIT Championship in 1999. Over the course of her four seasons at Arkansas, Messer tallied 1,379 points to rank seventh on the all-time scorers list. Messer’s prowess was not limited to scoring however, as she ranked 10th in career rebounding with 603, sixth in free throws made with 329 and fourth in career 3-pointers with 112. Messer’s players are seeing the same success that she enjoyed during her playing days on the court. Not only did the Golden Eagles win the 16th OVC Championship in the program’s history, but they also made their fourth appearance in the WNIT, and first since 2006. Last season’s success was not limited to team accomplishments as several of Messer’s players were awarded for their individual performances. Junior guard Tacarra Hayes was named allOVC first-team for the second straight season, and was named the OVC co-Defensive Player of the Year. She led the team in a number of categories including points with 525 (16.9 ppg), and now ranks 18th on the all-time scorers list at Tech with 1,208 points. Hayes

was also named the OVC Player of the Week twice. Junior center Brittany Darling made an immediate impact in the paint for the Golden Eagles as she racked up 173 rebounds and tallied 236 points. She notched five double-doubles on the season and was named the OVC Newcomer of the Week on seven occasions. Freshman forward Molly Heady appeared in every game for the Golden Eagles last season, and she made the most of it, as she finished second on the team in scoring with 274 points, and led the OVC in free throw percentage with a mark of 85.5. She was named to the OVC all-Newcomer Team for her efforts. Messer and her squad have accomplished so much in two years, but there is still one more goal they are striving for, an opportunity to play in the 2012 NCAA Tournament.

Coretta

Brown

Coretta Brown, who enters her third season at Tennessee Tech, brings a wealth of basketball experience to the Golden Eagle coaching staff where she will work mainly with the guards this season. “Tennessee Tech has first-class facilities, and I’m excited to be a part of this program,” Brown said. “I have a lot of respect for coach Messer both as a player and a coach.” A four-year standout at North Carolina, Brown played four seasons in the WNBA before beginning her coaching career. A three-time All-ACC honoree and the career record holder for 3-pointers made at UNC, Brown was selected 11th overall in the 2003 WNBA Draft by San Antonio before being traded to Indiana. Brown played three seasons with the Fever before playing her fourth and final season with the Chicago Sky. In addition, Brown played for Team USA at the FIBA World Championships in Russia. Brown has also played overseas in China and Spain. “Playing overseas definitely made me appreciate my American heritage,” Brown said. “I’m a family oriented person so being away from my family was kind of tough.” Following her playing career, Brown spent two seasons with Georgia Tech as an administrative coordinator where she worked with coach Messer. She then moved to the high school level where she was an assistant coach for the Benjamin E. Mays varsity women’s basketball team and helped lead the team to the Sweet 16 in the state of Georgia. Brown has also worked numerous camps and clinics throughout both her

playing and coaching career. Brown is the daughter of Mary and Clinton Brown and is the youngest of four siblings Clintina Watts, Cassandra Brown and Kaleshia Cornelius. She was born and raised in Statesboro, Ala. but has grown to like Cookeville in the two years she has been here. “I love Cookeville because it reminds me of my home,” Brown said. “Everybody is all about the improvement and prosperity of the Golden Eagles and I love it.”

Greenman joined Sytia Messer’s staff in June 2011 Greenman has over 20 years coaching experience at the Division I level, and will handle the bulk of the staff’s recruiting efforts and assist in guard play. She will also assist in game preparation. Prior to coming to Tennessee Tech, Greenman spent seven years on the Virginia Tech staff, serving as the team’s recruiting coordinator from 2004 through 2011. Her role as recruiting coordinator did not mark her first opportunity with the Hokies however, as Virginia Tech offered her an assistant coaching opportunity following her graduation from Emory and Henry College with a B.A. in Health and Physical Education. She spent five years in the assistant coaching position on Carol Alfano’s staff, earning her M.S. in Sports Administration in the process. In the time between her stints at Virginia Tech, Greenman worked at Western Carolina under head coach Gary Peters from 1993-96 as an assistant coach, and returned in 2000 for another four-year run with the Catamounts as their associate head coach under Beth Dunkenberger. Greenman has also completed coaching stints at Miami (Ohio) University and UT Chattanooga. She has the impressive distinction of having recruited a player who was named the Conference Rookie of the Year at each of the three schools.

Messer was familiar with Greenman’s coaching talents after facing her when the two were rivals at ACC schools. “I first encountered Shellie as a coach when I was coaching at Georgia Tech and she was at Virginia Tech. I coached against her for five years and I observed that Virginia Tech teams were always very prepared and had strong game plans, and I know she was highly involved in that,” Messer said. “I also saw her ability as a recruiting coordinator, as she was able to sign some of the best players in the South.” In her days as a player, Greenman was a four-year letterwinner in basketball at Emory and Henry, leading her team to the ODAC championship in 1988 and earning All-Tournament team honors.

Mitchell

Daphne Mitchell, who played four seasons at Georgia Tech and two seasons professionally in Europe, is Director of Basketball Operations for the Tennessee Tech women’s basketball team. Third-year Golden Eagle head coach Sytia Messer, who coached Mitchell at Georgia Tech, announced the addition to her staff. “We’re excited about Daphne joining our staff,” Messer said. “Daphne is an experienced player who has competed at the highest level, both in the ACC and professionally. She has very strong organizational skills and a hunger to display her experience and her knowledge to our players.” A native of East Point, Ga., she was a standout student and athlete at Woodward Academy where she led her team to back-to-back region championships and was named an honorable mention all-American. She was a four-year letterwinner for the Yellowjackets, playing in 102 games in her career with 13 starts. In addition to her time on the court, she was active off the court in community activities and was recipient of one of the ACC Top Six for Service honors. “As a former post coach at Georgia Tech, I coached Daphne one-on-one each day for four years,” Messer said. “Because of the work ethic she had, both on and off the court, I knew one day I’d want to hire her on my staff. Mitchell joins the Tech staff after playing two years of professional basketball in Europe. Recently, Mitchell played forward and center for the Clube Desportivo Torres Novas team in Portugal. She also played for the Codigalco Carmelitas in Spain, where the 6-foot-1 center averaged eight points and six

2 0 1 0 - 1 1 S e a s o n i n re v i e w Golden Eagles’ 10-game winning streak propels Tech to 16th OVC title The 2010-11 women’s basketball season turned out to be one of the most successful seasons in Tennessee Tech history. Along with a 23-8 overall record, the Golden Eagles won their 16th Ohio Valley Conference championship and made their fourth appearance in the WNIT. TTU earned its 16th OVC title by putting together an impressive 15-3 record in conference play, which included an 8-1 mark at Eblen Center, and an equally impressive 7-2 figure on the road. The Golden Eagles kicked off their conference schedule on the right foot, as they won their first three conference games over Jacksonville State, Southeast Missouri and Eastern Illinois, with the latter two coming on the road. Morehead State may have given the Golden Eagles their first blemish in conference play, but it gave TTU the motivation it needed to put together a 10-game winning streak, all of which came against OVC foes, to brings its OVC record to 13-1. Tech’s 10-game winning streak propelled the Golden Eagles to the top of the OVC standings, where they would stay for the remainder of the season, boasting a 15-3 conference mark when the regular season was all said and done.

With its top spot in the OVC standings, Tech received a pair of byes in the first two rounds of the OVC Tournament, and eventually met the Lady Govs of Austin Peay in the semi-finals. With the Lady Govs ending Tech’s season in the OVC Tournament one year prior, the Golden Eagles entered the game with retribution in mind. Behind a pair of 20-point games from juniors Rachel Glidden and Tacarra Hayes, TTU sent the Lady Govs packing with a 65-56 victory. TTU’s OVC run ended the next night with a narrow loss to UT Martin in the OVC Championship game, but it did not end its season. The year culminated in the Golden Eagles’ fourth appearance in the WNIT, and their first since the 200506 season, as the Golden Eagles hosted Auburn in the opening round. TTU’s OVC success was foreshadowed by its solid non-conference mark of 7-5. Tech opened its 2010-11 season with a four-game winning streak with wins over Alabama A&M and a trifecta of in-state foes in Belmont, Lipscomb and Tennessee Wesleyan. Tech notched three additional non-conference victories against Drake, St. Louis and SIU Edwardsville. In individual terms, the Golden Eagles also had success that reflected the 23-8 record they built during the season.

Hayes received a bevy of awards, including another nod to the all-OVC first-team, the OVC co-Defensive Player of the Year, and an all-OVC Tournament team award. She also received three OVC Player of the Week awards, as she led the Golden Eagles in several categories including points (525), rebounds (234) and assists (145). Junior center Brittany Darling made an immediate impact recording five double-doubles en route to seven OVC Newcomer of the Week awards. Darling’s best outing came against Morehead State in which she tallied career-highs in points (20) and rebounds (15). She also scored the game-winning field goal against Drake as time expired. A local favorite also made headlines, as freshman forward Molly Heady, from Monterey, was named to the OVC all-Newcomer Team. Finishing second on the team in scoring with 274 points, Heady put up an OVC-best 85.5 free throw percentage, while bringing down 173 rebounds. The awards were not limited to the players as head coach Sytia Messer became the third coach in Tech history to receive the OVC Coach of the Year award, and the first since 2000. Messer’s award marks the seventh time a TTU coach has received the OVC Coach of the year award.

Entering its 64th year, the Ohio Valley Conference continues to build on the success that has made it the nation’s eighth-oldest NCAA Division I conference. In May 2011 the Conference expanded for the second time in four years, adding Belmont University which will begin competition in the 2012-13 academic year. The addition of Belmont will give the OVC 12 members, the most the league has had at one time in its illustrious history. The move added a second team in the city of Nashville and was the first addition to the league since Southern Illinois University Edwardsville joined in 2008. SIUE will begin regular season competition this season (2011-12) and be eligible for postseason the same year Belmont joins the league. 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. Discussions were put on hold by World War II but reemerged Feb. 27-28, 1948 at the Kentucky Hotel in Louisville as Morehead State, Louisville and Evansville merged to form the OVC. Tennessee Tech joined the OVC the following year. In the 1950s, the OVC became a pioneer on a much more significant scale socially, breaking racial barriers to providde educational and athletic opportunities to African-Americans. Through the past 63 years, 15 teams have won or shared the league’s football title. The list is led by Eastern Kentucky, winner of 20 outright or shared football crowns, including both the 2007 and 2008 championships. Former member Middle Tennessee is next with 11 titles, followed by Tennessee Tech with nine. The first Division I-AA/FCS football playoff was held in 1978 with only four teams, which is the only year through present day that the OVC did not field a playoff representative. In the late 1970s, women’s athletics began somewhat of a rebirth on the national scene as the NCAA began sponsoring and marketing women’s sports. Recognizing the need to provide increased opportunities for female athletes, the OVC established women’s championships in the sports of basketball, tennis and track in 1977, with cross country and volley-

ball added over the next four years. Those sports were initially governed by the Association of Intercollegiate Athletics for Women (AIAW), but the overall strength of women’s programs in the league was demonstrated by the automatic bids the OVC instantly received when the NCAA became the governing body in 1982. 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 202 student-athletes honored with the award, including 35 over the last three years. Through the early years of the league, administrators wrestled with fan behavior due to the close proximity of the Conference members and the intense rivalries which developed. Just as it did decades ago, the OVC took the leadership

role on what has become a national issue. In 1995, the OVC implemented a first-of-its-kind “Sportsmanship Statement,” a policy which promotes principles of fair play, ethical conduct and respect for one’s opponent. The statement has become a model for others to follow across the nation, and has answered the challenge of the NCAA Presidents Commission to improve sportsmanship in collegiate athletics. Additionally, the OVC annually presents the Steve Hamilton Sportsmanship Award, in honor of the former Morehead State student-athlete, coach and athletics director, to a junior or senior student-athlete with significant athletic contributions who best exemplifies the characteristics of sportsmanship and citizenship. Most recently, the Conference has also implemented the OVC Institutional and Team Sportsmanship Awards, which are presented to one institution and 18 sportspecific teams voted by their peers to have best exhibited the standards of sportsmanship and ethical conduct as outlined by the OVC and NCAA. The vision of leadership demonstrated by the Founding Fathers in 1948 remains alive today as the Ohio Valley Conference prepares for the future. One example is in regard to the current trend in collegiate athletics administration for increased involvement of university presidents in setting policies and making rules. The presidents of OVC institutions, however, have always governed the Conference, long before presidential governance became a national theme. The Ohio Valley Conference sponsors the following sports: baseball, basketball, cross country, football, golf, tennis and track for men, and basketball, cross country, golf, soccer, softball, tennis, track and volleyball for women. In addition, the OVC also sponsors the combined men’s and women’s sport of rifle. Now in its seventh decade of competition, the Ohio Valley Conference has grown significantly from its humble beginnings while increasing the number of athletics opportunities it provides for students. Current league representatives include charter members Eastern Kentucky University, Morehead State University and Murray State University, along with Austin Peay State University, Eastern Illinois University, Jacksonville State University, Southeast Missouri State University, Southern Illinois University Edwardsville, Tennessee State University, Tennessee Technological University and the University of Tennessee at Martin. Belmont University will become the league’s 12th member on July 1, 2012.

athletics administration Mark

WILSON

University of Maine 1991

v Director of Athletics

Mark Wilson’s first seven 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 student-athlete experience. Wilson recently completed an appointment on the NCAA Leadership Council, a position which gave the Ohio Valley Conference, TTU and Wilson a voice in a variety of strategic decisions that can affect intercollegiate athletics. Wilson, 42, has led Athletics to several milestone accomplishments during his first seven 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 studentathletes 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 four 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, and new lights at Tucker Stadium. Athletics opened a spacious, new basketball office complex in Eblen Center and in the spring held a Grand Opening on the new Athletic Performance Center on the western edge of campus (see pages 2-3). Additional building plans call for a new 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 has two daughters, Katey (16) and Meaghan (11).

Dr. Jasitt plays a key role in the academic success of each of Tech’s varsity student-athletes, managers, and graduate assistants. His primary goals are to provide guidance and academic resources to permit student-athletes to maintain their academic eligibility under NCAA rules and to progress to graduation. 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 30 years, Donna White Jasitt, is a former Captain in the U.S. Navy Reserve. They have two children, Ian and Meagan. Ian recently received his second degree from Tech, this one in Environmental Geology. Meagan is a senior Pre-Physical Therapy major at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga.

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.

TENNESSEE TECH WOMEN’S BASKETBALL MEDIA GUIDE F 2011-12


a c a d e m i c s u p p o rt 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 200 students in athletics, including athletes, trainers, managers and cheerleaders, and the overall GPA of the department has climbed steeply in the past seven 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 students. Student-athletes devote many hours to practice, conditioning and training in an effort to be the best they can be. These hours are not required by non-athletes in the student body, and these extra demands can compete 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.

s t re n g t h & C o n d i t i o n i n g Emphasizing Player Development

The Tennessee Tech strength and conditioning program is a blend of science, technology, nutrition and one-on-one attention to each athlete. Golden Eagle student-athletes make a year-round commitment to physically preparing to play their sport at the highest level. At TTU, a program is tailored to match each student-athlete’s individual needs with the sport-specific physical demands. This includes strength, speed, power, agility, flexibility, metabolic conditioning and motivation. This combination allows Tennessee Tech’s student-athletes to better reach their specific goals. Another major focus of the strength staff is the development of sport-specific speed, agility and conditioning.

PUGH

v Head Strength and Conditioning Coach Ohio, 2000

Chip Pugh is in his fifth year as Tennessee Tech’s strength and conditioning head coach. He oversees the physical development of student-athletes in all 14 sports, providing support in building toward championships. Pugh served three years in the same position at Winthrop University where he created and developed a highly successful strength and conditioning program that helped win 12 conference championships. An alumnus of Ohio University, he was an offensive lineman on the football team while earning a bachelor’s degree in sport industry and a master’s degree in physical education.

A native of Parkersburg, W. Va., he began his coaching career at his alma mater as an assistant strength and conditioning coach where he primarily worked with men’s and women’s track, men’s and women’s swimming,

and women’s soccer. He also assisted coach Ethan Reeve, currently the head strength and conditioning coach at Wake Forest, with football while at Ohio. After leaving Ohio University he became the head strength and conditioning coach for football at Marietta (Ohio) College, where he also worked as an assistant football coach.

s t re n g t h & C o n d i t i o n i n g Development of Core Strength Imagine the body is a 3-link chain with the head and arms being one link, the torso/trunk being the second link and the legs being the third link. If the core link (trunk/torso) is weak or inflexible, there is little chance of maximizing potential because all body movement stems from the core. Train using ground-based, multi-joint lifting versus machine lifting Most athletes participate in stand up power sports using many muscle groups at once. The emphasis of training should be on total body athleticism and flexibility rather than having body weight supported by a machine and forcing isolation of just one muscle group. By incorporating ground-based lifts and exercises that focus on the total body, the athlete becomes more prepared to use their whole body in sport skills.

By taking advantage of expert instruction, Golden Eagle student-athletes are afforded every opportunity to maximize their athletic potential

Assistant Strength Coaches

Train for Power (which results in increased speed) Power = (Mass Moved x Distance)/time. The less time it takes to move a mass a certain distance, the higher the output. As seen in the above formula, an increase in speed of movements results in an increase in power. Train Athleticism Many factors are included in athleticism: strength, power, speed, agility, flexibility, coordination, fitness level and mental toughness are just a few. It is the goal to maximize an athlete’s overall athleticism. Train as a Team When teams train together, it provides another opportunity to develop chemistry, teamwork, leadership skills and a competitive environment. Within this competitive environment, teams can work on mental toughness, attacking the weights and maintaining a positive attitude. By enabling athletes to work on these things as a team, it helps to promote a stronger sense of unity, therefore making it harder to “fold” under pressure. Make workouts short and intense There are many philosophies on how to get athletes stronger, faster and more flexible. But, when combined, these philosophies have the same three underlying principles: a) The workouts should be highly organized b) The workouts should be short in duration c) The workouts should be extremely intense

Where Quality Counts

For nearly 100 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

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 14 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.

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.
