John D. Swofford acc commissioner

ow in his 15th year as Commissioner, and just the fourth in Atlantic Coast Conference history, John Swofford has made a dramatic impact on the ACC and college athletics. Swofford has built his career on the appropriate balance of academics, athletic achievement and integrity and is regarded as one of the top administrators in the NCAA. In addition to overseeing one of the nation’s largest athletic conferences, Swofford has been pivotal in positioning the Atlantic Coast Conference for the future.

VISION

• On September 18, 2011, on behalf of the league’s member institutions and the ACC Council of Presidents, Swofford introduced the University of Pittsburgh and Syracuse University as the newest members of the ACC. The additions further strengthen the league’s rich tradition of balancing academics and athletics while also enhancing the ACC’s reach into the states of New York and Pennsylvania.

STUDENT-ATHLETE WELFARE & OUTREACH

Full Name: John Douglas Swofford Hometown: North Wilkesboro, NC Wife: Nora Swofford Children: Amie, Chad, Autumn (husband Sherman Wooden) Grandchildren: Maya

• Swofford was instrumental in the enhancement of the league’s ACC Postgraduate Scholarship Awards program by ensuring that additional scholarship dollars are distributed to more student-athletes than at any point in the league’s history.

High School: Wilkes Central High School, 1967, North Wilkesboro, NC College: University of North Carolina, 1971 Morehead Scholarship Recipient • BA in Industrial Relations Graduate: Ohio University, 1973 • MEd. in Athletics Administration

• The long-time partnership between the ACC and United Way has flourished under Swofford’s leadership. His commitment to public service and volunteerism across the member institutions has been highlighted through the league’s Public Service Announcements. Across the collegiate landscape, the relationship with United Way is unique to the ACC and its member institutions.

• In July of 2010, Swofford’s leadership and negotiating skills helped the conference secure a new 12-year multimedia rights agreement with ESPN. The extensive television package begins with the 2011-12 academic year and will more than double television revenue to the 12 member institutions. In addition to reaching new heights financially, ACC content will now be televised more, both regionally and nationally, than at any point in league history, while also best positioning the conference within the continuous, ever-changing world of technology.

• Under Swofford’s direction this past year, the ACC launched its “Community Connections” outreach program which sponsored educational and mentoring activities along with donating books to the communities in which the league holds its conference championships. The initiative was created to teach life lessons to elementary and middle school students by the ACC’s student-athletes visiting local schools to discuss topics such as the importance of healthy living and sportsmanship.

• In 2003, on behalf of the league’s member institutions and the ACC Council of Presidents, Swofford led the conference through expansion. In becoming a 12-member league, Swofford helped bring the ACC extended and enhanced exposure across television and national radio packages and strongly positioned it for the future.

• During Swofford’s first 15 years as Commissioner, ACC teams have won 54 national team titles and 1,580 ACC teams have participated in various NCAA championships - an average of more than 110 NCAA teams per year.

• The ACC showcased its inaugural Dr Pepper ACC Football Championship Game in 2005 to a sellout crowd. Now in its eighth year, the game will be played in Charlotte’s Bank of America Stadium for the third consecutive season. Since becoming Commissioner, Swofford has been responsible for securing increased bowl opportunities and for the second year, the ACC has agreements in place with nine bowls including the Discover Orange Bowl, home of the ACC Champion since 2006. Highly respected by his peers, Swofford was a force in the development and growth of the Bowl Championship Series and is the only person to serve two terms as its coordinator. • Under Swofford’s tenure, the prestigious ACC Men’s Basketball Tournament has traveled to many dynamic cities within the footprint of the league including Atlanta, Ga., Washington DC and Tampa, Fla., in addition to the traditional stops in Greensboro and Charlotte. The 2001 ACC Tournament in Atlanta set NCAA attendance records for single session (40,083), per session average (36,505) and total attendance (182,525). • In the sport of basketball, Swofford was instrumental in creating the ACC/ Big Ten Challenge that began in men’s basketball in 1999. Then in 2007, the two conferences hosted the inaugural ACC/Big Ten Women’s Basketball Challenge. • In his first year as Commissioner, Swofford placed an added emphasis on the development of women’s basketball in the ACC with the hiring of an Associate Commissioner for Women’s Basketball to oversee all aspects of the sport on both a conference and national level.

Personal Information

• A long-time advocate of the importance of academics and student-athlete welfare, Swofford stimulated the formation of the league’s first-ever ACC Student-Athlete Advisory Committee. This group of current ACC studentathletes gives the conference direct feedback on their experiences competing at the highest level of college athletics.

ATHLETIC EXCELLENCE

• In the 2010-11 Division I Learfield Sports Directors’ Cup Standings, the ACC was the only conference with four schools in the Top 10; one of two leagues with five members in the Top 20 and one of only three conferences with all of its members in the Top 75. This past year marks the 10th consecutive year that the ACC has placed four or more teams in the Top 30. • In football, at least seven ACC teams have earned bowl bids in each of the last five seasons. In 2008, the conference set an NCAA record when 10 of its 12 teams (83%) participated in bowl play. • During his tenure, the ACC has won five NCAA Men’s Basketball titles, more than any other conference. In addition, the league was represented by three of its women’s basketball programs in the 2006 NCAA Women’s Basketball Final Four. In that same year, it was an all-ACC final as the conference claimed its second NCAA Women’s Basketball National title. A native of North Wilkesboro, NC, Swofford was a Morehead Scholar at the University of North Carolina and played on UNC’s 1971 ACC Football Championship team. He received his Masters of Education in Athletic Administration from Ohio University and then began his career at the University of Virginia in 1973. He returned to his alma mater in 1976 and became the school’s athletic director on May 1, 1980. At the age of 31, he was the youngest major college Athletics Director in the nation at the time and served as its Director of Athletics from 1980-1997. UNC’s athletic program led the league in both ACC and NCAA Championships during Swofford’s tenure as Athletic Director. John and his wife Nora reside in Greensboro, NC, and together they have three children: Amie, Chad and Autumn, who is married to Sherman Wooden. Autumn and Sherman welcomed Maya, their first child, to the family in April of 2010.

The Atlantic Coast Conference

A tradition of

6 2012 ACC Basketball Tournament

... Then, Now and Always. The Tradition

Consistency. It is the mark of true excellence in any endeavor. However, in today’s intercollegiate athletics, competition has become so balanced and so competitive that it is virtually impossible to maintain a high level of consistency. Yet the Atlantic Coast Conference has deﬁed the odds. Now in its 59th year of competition, the ACC has long enjoyed the reputation as one of the strongest and most competitive intercollegiate conferences in the nation. And that is not mere conjecture, the numbers support it. Since the league’s inception in 1953, ACC schools have captured 122 national championships, including 65 in women’s competition and 57 in men’s. In addition, NCAA individual titles have gone to ACC student-athletes 140 times in men’s competition and 99 times in women’s action. If success is best measured in terms of wins and losses, then the ACC is unrivaled in NCAA annals. With Duke’s victory over Butler in the 2010 NCAA title game, ACC teams have won ﬁve of the last 11 NCAA National Championships and 12 overall, including eight over the last 21 years.

founding of the acc, may 8, 1953

The ACC, with Duke, North Carolina and Florida State, was the only conference to have three teams make it to the “Sweet 16” in this past year’s NCAA Tournament. No conference has compiled a better NCAA Tournament record than the ACC. Since the inaugural tournament in 1939, league teams have posted an NCAA Tournament-best mark of 355-179 for a sterling .665 winning percentage against the nation’s toughest competition. The ACC is the only conference to have each of its teams make at least one NCAA Tournament appearance over the past ﬁve years. Since 1985, the ACC has produced 24 Final Four teams, an av-

erage of almost one per year and six more than any other conference. The ACC has had at least one team in the Final Four in 19 of the last 23 years. Since the NCAA Tournament was expanded to 64 teams in 1985, ACC teams have compiled a 251126 (.666) NCAA record, including 69 “Sweet 16” appearances and 24 Final Four berths - all NCAA Tournament bests. Since 1985, 70 of the 137 ACC teams receiving NCAA berths have won at least two NCAA Tournament games. North Carolina’s Tar Heels lead all ACC schools with ﬁve NCAA basketball championships to their credit. Duke is next with four national titles, followed by NC State with two and Maryland one. The

ACC EMPHASIZES SPORTSMANSHIP Initiative highlights efforts by member institutions

he Atlantic Coast Conference announced this past fall that the league will expand its Sportsmanship Awareness Weeks to one week during the fall, winter and spring seasons. The ACC Sportsmanship Awareness Weeks are a campaign to emphasize and promote sportsmanship as it relates to our teams, conference and fans. During the weeks of October 17-23 (Fall), January 2329 (Winter) and April 9-14 (Spring), every league team will showcase its continued dedication to sportsmanship by participating in a pregame handshake prior to each contest. In addition to the teams’ efforts, the conference and member schools will highlight the program to its fans through releases, across social media platforms, videos elements and official websites. “Sportsmanship continues to be a priority within the ACC and the growth of this initiative will be a great way to further highlight and emphasize its importance,” said ACC Commissioner John Swofford. Nearly 40 events were part of the 2012 ACC Winter Sportsmanship Awareness Week, including 12 men’s and 12 women’s basketball games, seven swimming & diving meets, four indoor track and field meets and four wrestling matches.

Miami vs. North Carolin

Tar Heels claimed NCAA titles in 1957, 1982, 1993, 2005 and 2009, while the Blue Devils won their fourth title in 2010, following earlier championships in 2001, 1992 and 1991. The Wolfpack walked away with the coveted crown in 1974 and 1983 while the Terps claimed the 2002 national title. The ACC has 10 or more NCAA Tournament wins 13 times overall, and the league has not posted a losing record in NCAA Tournament play since 1987. The conference’s 24-year non-losing streak in NCAA Tournament play is tops among all conferences. Since 1981, the ACC has produced 39 consensus All-Americans - 15 more than any other conference and has accounted for 25 percent of the nation’s consensus All-Americans (39-of-159). Seven of the last 15 and nine of the last 19 consensus National Players of the Year have been from the ACC. Since 1975, the ACC has had 16 consensus National Players of the Year - 12 more than any other conference. In addition, nine of the ACC’s 16 National Players of the Year were unanimous selections. A year ago the ACC had 57 players on NBA rosters. In addition, over the past six years 54 ACC players have made their NBA debuts, including an all-time high 15 in 2006. In this past June’s NBA draft, the ACC had five first round selections and seven players drafted overall. The ACC has had five-or-more first round selections in four of the past five years and has had at least one first-round pick in 23 consecutive NBA drafts. Since 1986, the ACC has had 98 first round selections - 15 more than any other conference. With two teams - Duke (3), North Carolina (7) - listed in the final Associated Press ranking, the ACC extended its streak to 51 consecutive seasons with at least one team ranked in the top 10 of the final AP Poll.

ith one eye focused on the long-term viability of the conference and another on the nation’s everchanging intercollegiate athletic landscape, the ACC made a bold move this fall by expanding to 14 schools by adding Pittsburgh and Syracuse. Less than a decade after adding Boston College, Miami and Virginia Tech, the Panthers and Orange provide the ACC with a pair of programs with extensive histories in football and basketball, along with exceptional, nationallyrecognized institutions of higher learning. “Our culture has long enjoyed a rich tradition of balancing academics and athletics, and the addition of Pitt and Syracuse further strengthens our league,” said ACC Commissioner John Swofford. “In addition, both universities will enhance the ACC’s reach into the states of New York and Pennsylvania and geographically bridges our footprint between Maryland and Massachusetts. With the addition of these two schools, the ACC will cover virtually the entire eastern seaboard of the United States.” Pittsburgh and Syracuse have produced some of the best football players in the history of the game, including Jim Brown (Syracuse), Dan Marino (Pitt), Tony Dorsett (Pitt) and Ernie Davis (Syracuse). In men’s basketball, the Panthers played in the Final Four in 2009 and are a rising basketball power, while the Orange won the 2003 national title behind Carmelo Anthony. ACC teams will also soon be traveling to some of the nation’s top sporting venues, including the Carrier Dome (the largest on-campus basketball arena in the nation), Heinz Field and the $119 million Petersen Events Center on the campus of Pitt. “It’s actually pretty exciting,” said Duke Hall of Fame basketball coach Mike Krzyzewski said. “I think it’s

great for ourconference football-wise, even better basketball-wise. Over the last 25 years if you had to pick the best conference in basketball it is the ACC.” Former Georgia Tech women’s basketball coach Angus Berenato, who now heads up Pitt’s program, echoed Krzyzewski’s excitement. “The ACC has a rich tradition of academics and athletics so Pitt will fit right in,” she said. “I was in the ACC for a long time and it will be nice to return to my roots. The leadership of the ACC has remained the same and Commissioner Swofford is innovative, dedicated and perceptive to the student-athlete’s needs.” Academically, the addition of the two schools gives the ACC 12 institutions in the top 75 of the U.S. News and World Report’s 2012 best universities rankings, while Pittsburgh and Syracuse already partner with various ACC schools in terms of national research grants, along with numerous health-related initiatives. “Though we recruit students from all corners of the globe and have graduates living around the world, our principal focus always has been on the eastern seaboard, to be regularly competing up and down the Atlantic Coast from Boston to Miami,” said Pittsburgh Chancellor Mark Nordenberg. “This is a very big plus for Pitt as a university, particularly during this turbulent time in intercollegiate athletics.” The two high-profile athletic programs in major media markets will provide the ACC with added value to its current TV package with partner ESPN. “We are pleased that Syracuse adds a tremendous New York City dimension to the ACC,” said Nancy Cantor, the school’s chancellor and president. “With 44,000 alumni and growing in that region, we have built a very strong identity and affinity there, and we’re excited to be able to bring ACC games to New York.” theACC.com

individual NCAA crowns. In all, the ACC has won 52 national team titles over the last 14 years and has won two or more NCAA titles in 28 of the past 30 years. The ACC was the only conference in America to place four of its teams in the final Top 10 rankings of the 2009-10 Learfield Director’s Cup Standings--symbolic of the nation’s top overall programs--as Duke (5th), North Carolina (6th), Virginia (7th) and Florida State (9th) all were ranked nationally in the Top 10. This past year also marked the 10th consecutive year that the ACC has placed four or more teams in the Top 30 as Maryland finished 17th in this year’s final rankings. In all, the ACC is one of only three conferences to have all of its member schools in the Top 75. A total of 132 ACC teams placed in NCAA post-season competition in 2010-11. League teams compiled a 125-79-5 (.610) mark against opponents in NCAA championship competition.

Championships for women are currently conducted in cross country, field hockey, soccer, basketball, swimming, indoor and outdoor track, tennis, golf, lacrosse, softball and rowing with volleyball deciding its champion by regular season play.

A History

The Atlantic Coast Conference was founded on May 8, 1953, at the Sedgefield Inn near Greensboro, N.C., with seven charter members - Clemson, Duke, Maryland, North Carolina, North Carolina State, South Carolina and Wake Forest - drawing up the conference by-laws. The withdrawal of seven schools from the Southern

ACC Sets the Standard

Conference came early on the morning of May 8, 1953, during the Southern Conference’s annual spring meeting. On June 14, 1953, the seven members met in Raleigh, N.C., where a set of bylaws was adopted and the name became officially the Atlantic Coast Conference. Suggestions from fans for the name of the new conference appeared in the region’s newspapers prior to the meeting in Raleigh. Some of the names suggested were: Dixie, Mid South, Mid Atlantic, East Coast, Seaboard, Colonial, Tobacco, Blue-Gray, Piedmont, Southern Seven and the Shoreline. Duke’s Eddie Cameron recommended that the name of the conference be the Atlantic Coast Conference, and the motion was passed unanimously. The meeting concluded with each member institution assessed $200.00 to pay for conference expenses. On December 4, 1953, conference officials met again at Sedgefield and officially admitted the University of Virginia as the league’s eighth member. The first, and only, withdrawal of a school from the ACC came on June 30, 1971, when the University of South Carolina tendered its resignation. The ACC operated with seven members until April 3, 1978, when the Georgia Institute of Technology was admitted. The Atlanta school had withdrawn from the Southeastern Conference in January of 1964. The ACC expanded to nine members on July 1, 1991, with the addition of Florida State University. The conference expanded to 11 members on July 1, 2004, with the addition of the University of Miami and Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University. On October 17, 2003, Boston College accepted an invitation to become the league’s 12th member starting July 1, 2005.

Among BCS Conferences in Latest US News & World Report ‘Best Colleges’ Rankings

ith seven schools listed in the top 38, all 12 in the top 101, the member institutions of the Atlantic Coast Conference lead the way among Bowl Championship Series Conferences in the latest “Best Colleges” rankings released last September by US News & World Report. ACC member institutions rank on average 49.2, marking the sixth time in the last seven years that the ACC has led all BCS conferences. “These rankings exemplify the long-standing commitment to academic excellence and the dedicated leadership of our 12 member institutions,” said ACC Commissioner John Swofford. “The Atlantic Coast Conference is proud to have a collection of schools that are held in such high esteem.” The ACC is the only BCS conference to place seven member institutions among the Top 38; the next highest conference placed four. The ACC is also the only BCS conference with over half of its members in the Top 50 and is one of only two conferences with all its members in the Top 101.

Also in the Top 40 are North Carolina (29), Boston College (31), Georgia Tech (36) and Miami (38). Just out of the Top 50, Maryland ranked 55th, and was followed by Clemson (68), Virginia Tech (71), and Florida State and NC State, which tied at 101st.

2012 Postgraduate Scholar-Athletes

hirty-six scholar-athletes are honored for showing distinction in competition, classroom and community Atlantic Coast Conference Commissioner John Swofford announced a list of 36 student-athletes who have been selected for the Weaver-James-Corrigan Award, including three student-athletes who will receive the Thacker Award. Additionally, six student-athletes who plan to enter a professional career in their chosen sport were named honorary recipients. The Weaver-James-Corrigan and Jim and Pat Thacker scholarships are awarded to selected student-athletes - three from each league institution - who intend to pursue a graduate degree following completion of their undergraduate requirements. Each recipient will receive $5,000 to contribute to their graduate education. Those honored have performed with distinction in both the classroom and his/her respective sports, while demonstrating exemplary conduct in the community. In addition to those receiving scholarship funds, six student-athletes will receive the Weaver-James-Corrigan Honorary Award. Two men’s basketball players - Clemson’s Tanner Smith and North Carolina’s Tyler Zeller - along with Duke football player Matt Daniels, Georgia Tech golfer James White, NC State baseball player Phillip Williams, and Virginia women’s tennis player Lindsey Hardenbergh will be recognized for their outstanding academic and athletic performance and intend to compete at the professional level. The Weaver-James-Corrigan Award is named in honor of the late Jim Weaver and Bob James, as well as Gene Corrigan, all of whom are former ACC commissioners. The league’s first commissioner, James H. Weaver, served the conference from 1954-70 after a stint as the Director of Athletics at Wake Forest University. His early leadership and uncompromising integrity are largely responsible for the excellent reputation enjoyed by the ACC today. Robert C. James, a former University of

ACC makes multimedia waves By Michael Smith

22 2012 ACC Basketball Tournament

t was 18 months ago, under the swaying palm trees at Amelia Island, Fla., that ACC Commissioner John Swofford shook hands with ESPN executives on a new media contract that would secure the conference’s financial future. The 12-year deal was the culmination of a long negotiation that involved multiple networks in pursuit of the ACC’s coveted TV rights. But it also represented a new beginning for the conference as it embarked on a new comprehensive media strategy to give its teams the greatest exposure of any conference in the country. In the old days – like five-to-10 years ago in our ever-changing new media world – the commissioner’s job was largely done once he negotiated the TV contract, which is far and away the largest source of revenue for a conference. But now, the TV contract is just a piece – albeit a critical piece – of a larger media approach that must take into consideration all other digital formats, such as online, mobile and tablets. See, there’s not much that’s more important to a conference than its exposure. The more the ACC’s schools are seen, the better they recruit and the more they build their brand. That’s one of the reasons the ACC’s coaches lobbied so staunchly in favor of ESPN versus other networks. They believe that if their games are not on the “Worldwide Leader,” they won’t receive the kind of visibility that’s so important in the recruiting battles. And with that exposure comes the ability for the institution to stay in the public consciousness and market itself to future students in the general population, a facet of athletics that’s often overlooked. Many administrators describe athletics as the sales and marketing division of the university, and to do its job, those teams must be as widely seen as possible. Under Swofford’s guidance in the last 18 months, the ACC has taken giant strides to ensure that the conference’s teams can be seen by just about anyone, anywhere, and any time of the day, providing the league and its schools with important brand extensions that aid their visibility. It has become a reality with new mobile applications, a new online network and improved use of archives in its ACC Vault (a partnership with Denver-based

Thought Equity Motion), all of which have greatly expanded the conference’s branding opportunities. In fact, the conference has even branded this approach by calling it “ACCess” on its official website, TheACC.com, putting it at the forefront of media innovation across the college landscape. One of the most critical additions was the launch of the ACC Digital Network on TheACC.com. “The ACC Digital Network provides a new platform within the digital space that will showcase more content, in more places, than we’ve ever experienced before,” Swofford said. “The depth and reach of the network, including the multitude of platforms, has our league well positioned as we look toward the future. We’re really pleased with the tremendous progress that has been made and also pleased with how much this will mean to our fans.” With the help of the ACC’s partner Silver Chalice, a widely influential technology company based in Chicago, and its longtime production partner, Charlottebased Raycom Sports, the conference began branding the ACC Digital Network in October. The idea behind the network is simple – to create a fully programmed video network that makes ACC games and other shows available online and on mobile devices. Can’t be at the stadium or in front of a TV to catch your favorite ACC team? No problem. You can still watch on your smart phone or your tablet. That’s the concept behind creating the most widely distributed ACC programming as possible. The ACC Digital Network has its own programming, its own studio based in Charlotte, and its own talent. Kyle Montgomery was hired from NBA-TV to host studio programming, while former Georgia Tech running back Dorsey Levens is one of the football analysts and former Wake Forest quarterback Riley Skinner contributes as well. The long-term goal for the ACC is that fans will eventually tune in to the ACC Digital Network’s own gameday each Saturday morning to prepare for a full day of college football. Importantly to fans, access to the ACC Digital Network is free. The online strategy serves as a complement to what Swofford and the ACC’s partners have created on TV. theACC.com

making multimedia waves The branding that comes with the ACC Digital Network gives the league an even stronger presence online and follows its overall branding strategy that first began in 2010. That’s when Raycom Sports, which produces and syndicates an ACC football game of the week and multiple basketball games per week, began referring to the “ACC Network” as opposed to ACC games on Raycom Sports. ESPN also puts the ACC name and logo out front of the conference games that it broadcasts by calling it the “ACC on ESPN.” It might be a subtle thing, but it’s an angle all college conferences and professional leagues have pursued to give their own brand more visibility on those broadcasts. While ESPN’s broad distribution on TV and online gives the conference maximum exposure, Raycom has also driven the ACC games it produces to a wider audience than ever before. In the old media contract, Raycom could not distribute games outside of the ACC’s current seven-state footprint (Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia, Maryland and Massachusetts). That limited the ACC’s syndicated package of games to a regional audience. The new TV contract enables the ACC’s syndicated games to go anywhere in the country. The 13-week package of football games can now be found in 40 new markets and stretches from California to New York and most markets throughout the Southeast. Those telecasts are now in six of the top 10 TV markets, 13 of the top 25, and 25 of the top 50. The broadcasts were in 14 of the top 50 markets last year. Overall, the network coverage has nearly doubled from 28 million households to 53 million in the last year, or about 46 percent of the U.S. TV households. “We’re going into markets now that we never dreamed of and that’s all new exposure for the ACC,” said Ken Haines, the CEO at Raycom Sports. “It certainly has taken the ACC to a wider audience.” Raycom has enhanced its offering this season with a new studio

24 2012 ACC Basketball Tournament

show called “ACC Blitz” that features Danielle Trotta and former Clemson coach Tommy Bowden talking ACC football pregame and halftime. Those shows originate out of the NASCAR Media Group’s studio in Charlotte. In keeping with the ACC’s “TV Everywhere” approach, that studio and game programming can be found on the digital network, as well as the mobile applications that the league has launched in the last year. The iPhone and iPad apps, sponsored by Havoline, hit the market in the fall of 2010. Then the conference came back this fall with enhanced apps that work on the Android market as well. Silver Chalice has been a partner on those technology initiatives as well. “We saw tremendous success with the app last year and it’s exciting to launch a new app for the Apple and Android markets,” Swofford said. “These platforms represent an important opportunity for the ACC to reach its fans and to continue our conference initiative to offer more conference content than ever before.” Being at the forefront of landscapechanging media initiatives is nothing new for Swofford. He was the commissioner in charge of the BCS when it negotiated a new four-year media contract with ESPN, which is in its second year. That was a game-changing deal because it brought the BCS conferences a 50-percent raise over its previous contract and it took the games exclusively to cable TV, something that had never been done before. At the time, it was seen as something as a risk, but it eventually became part of a trend that has seen more big events move to cable, largely because of cable’s ever-growing distribution and the ability to drive more revenue to the college game. Through the ACC’s own deal with ESPN, Raycom and new technology partners like Silver Chalice, Thought Equity Motion and NASCAR Media Group, Swofford has again positioned the ACC as a leader in the media space, providing the conference with greater exposure than it’s ever enjoyed before.

ecent technological advances in sports have been truly amazing. There are instant replay challenges in football, HD scoreboards in virtually every stadium or arena, whistle-clock synchronization in hoops and lines on our TVs to let us know how far a team has to go for a first down. And now there is more ... With the help of Raycom Sports, Atlantic Coast Conference fans can take a trip back in time and watch entire games, their favorite teams or players, even the best dunks or greatest comebacks from decades ago – all online and for free. ’’It’s pretty fascinating stuff, and when you can get it into an HD-like experience, watching it right there on your laptop or your iPad, it’s a pretty powerful experience,” said Colin Smith, Vice President of New Media and Distribution for Raycom Sports.

Championship Game from that year to the present. The ACC and Raycom Sports, a key TV partner of the league for decades and a leading independent sports sales and marketing, syndication and production firm, partnered on the idea and launched the ACC Video Vault in mid-December 2010. Smith says sifting through Raycom’s 30-year-old library of ACC Basketball and Football telecasts, then archiving and digitizing the key games and moments, took about four years, or close to 12,000 man hours. After posting 100 basketball games in late 2010, Raycom concentrated in 2011 on adding about 50 football games to the vault, along with additional games aired on other networks such as ESPN, ABC, CBS and Fox Sports. Smith says no other conference in the nation has as an extensive and free video library online as the ACC. “In terms of awareness and history of the conference it’s pretty spectacular,” Smith said. “There are very few people who would argue that the ACC has the richest historical significance of any other basketball conference out there. And being able to preserve that and having people go back and browse through those moments in time, it’s

very powerful. I don’t think anyone realized that you could even do something like this four or five years ago. Not only are we doing it, but we’re making it all free and we’re making it so easy to consume. The first game of the basketball vault features two of the ACC’s biggest stars in action as Ralph Sampson takes on Michael Jordan. If you missed it more than 28 years ago, the end of the Feb. 10, 1983, game features Jordan stealing the ball from Rick Carlisle and flying through the air for a game-winning dunk as North Carolina defeated No. 2 Virginia 64-63 in Chapel Hill. Smith said that game is in the top five in terms of “hits” in the ACC Video Vault, as are some of the DukeNorth Carolina basketball games, of which there are

now close to 20 of those rivalry games to choose from. Phase III of the project may entail contacting ACC schools directly to see what games or moments can be saved from previous decades, dating to the 1950s. “We would love to keep going back in time,” Smith said. “It’s almost like the further back you go the more interest there is because it is such a rarity.” “We’re pleased to give fans a new way to experience our rich ACC history,” said ACC Commissioner John Swofford. “The ACC Vault ties our rich collection of great games to the current season’s action and presents our tradition of excellence in an innovative way that will be a resource for fans, media, bloggers and our member institutions.”

Boston College was founded in 1863 by the Society of Jesus to serve the sons of Bostonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Irish immigrants and was the first institution of higher education to be founded in the city of Boston. Originally located on Harrison Avenue in the South End of Boston, the College outgrew its urban setting toward the end of its first 50 years. A new location was selected in Chestnut Hill and ground for the new campus was broken on June 19, 1909. During the 1940s, new purchases doubled the size of the main campus. In 1974, Boston College acquired Newton College of the Sacred Heart, 1.5 miles away. With 15 buildings on 40 acres, it is now the site of the Law School and residence halls. In 2004, Boston College purchased 43 acres of land from the archdiocese of Boston; this now forms the Brighton campus.

The school is built around Fort Hill, the plantation home of John C. Calhoun, Vice President to Andrew Jackson. His son-in-law, Thomas Clemson, left the land to be used as an agricultural school, and in 1893 Clemson opened its doors as a land grant school, thanks to the efforts of Ben Tillman.

Randy Spetman Athletics Director

Florida State University is one of 11 universities of the State University System of Florida. It was established as the Seminary West of the Suwannee by an act of the Florida Legislature in 1851, and first offered instruction at the post-secondary level in 1857. Its Tallahassee campus has been the site of an institution of higher education longer than any other site in the state. In 1905, the Buckman Act reorganized higher education in the state and designated the Tallahassee school as the Florida Female College. In 1909, it was renamed Florida State College for Women. In 1947, the school returned to a co-educational status, and the name was changed to Florida State University.

GEORGIA TECH

Dr. G.P. Bud Peterson President

Sue Ann Allen Faculty Representative

Dan Radakovich Athletics Director

Next to I-85 in downtown Atlanta stands the Georgia Institute of Technology, founded in 1885. Its first students came to pursue a degree in mechanical engineering, the only one offered at the time. Tech’s strength is not only the red clay of Georgia, but a restored gold and white 1930 model A Ford Cabriolet, the official mascot. The old Ford was first used in 1961, but a Ramblin’ Wreck had been around for over three decades. The Ramblin’ Wreck fight song appeared almost as soon as the school opened, and it is not only American boys that grow up singing its rollicking tune, for Richard Nixon and Nikita Khrushchev sang it when they met in Moscow in 1959.

MARYLAND

Wallace D. Loh President

Nicholas Hadley Faculty Representative

Kevin Anderson Athletics Director

The University of Maryland opened in 1856 as an agricultural school nine miles north of Washington, D.C., on land belonging to Charles Calvert, a descendant of Lord Baltimore, the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s founding father. The school colors are the same as the state flag: black and gold for George Calvert (Lord Baltimore) and red and white for his mother, Alice Crossland. Maryland has been called the school that Curley Byrd built, for he was its quarterback, then football coach, athletic director, assistant to the president, vice-president, and finally its president. Byrd also designed the football stadium and the campus layout, and suggested the nickname Terrapin, a local turtle known for its bite, when students wanted to replace the nickname Old Liners with a new one for the school.

The University of Miami was chartered in 1925 by a group of citizens who felt an institution of higher learning was needed for the development of their young and growing community. Since the first class of 560 students enrolled in the fall of 1926, the University has expanded to more than 15,000 undergraduate and graduate students from every state and more than 114 nations from around the world. The schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s colors, representative of the Florida orange tree, were selected in 1926. Orange symbolizes the fruit of the tree, green represents the leaves and white, the blossoms.

NORTH CAROLINA

Holden Thorp Chancellor

Lissa Broome Faculty Representative

Bubba Cunningham Athletics Director

The University of North Carolina, located in Chapel Hill, has been called “the perfect college town,” making its tree-lined streets and balmy atmosphere what a college should look and feel like. Its inception in 1795 makes it one of the oldest schools in the nation, and its nickname of Tar Heels stems from the tar pitch and turpentine that were the state’s principal industry. The nickname is as old as the school, for it was born during the Revolutionary War when tar was dumped into the streams to impede the advance of British forces.

More than a century after its establishment as a land-grant institution in 1887, North Carolina State University continues to follow the mission upon which it was founded — to provide teaching, research, and extension services to the people of North Carolina. NC State—formerly known as the North Carolina College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts—has over 34,376 students and is the largest institution of higher learning in the state. The university and its alumni provide $7.3 billion in economic impact for North Carolina. The athletic programs were called the Aggies or Farmers until in 1922, a fan compared State’s football players to a ‘pack of wolves,’ - the nickname stuck and now all 22 varsity teams are known as the Wolfpack.

Craig Littlepage Athletics Director

The University of Virginia was founded in 1819 by Thomas Jefferson and is one of three things on his tombstone for which he wanted to be remembered. James Madison and James Monroe were on the board of governors in the early years. The Rotunda, a half-scale version of the Pantheon which faces the Lawn, is the focal point of â&#x20AC;&#x153;the Grounds,â&#x20AC;? as the campus is called. Jefferson wanted his school to educate leaders in practical affairs and public service, not just to train teachers.

Wake Forest University was started on Calvin Jonesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; plantation amid the stately pine forest of Wake County in 1834. The Baptist seminary is still there, but the school was moved to WinstonSalem in 1956 on a site donated by Charles H. and Mary Reynolds Babcock. President Harry S. Truman attended the ground-breaking ceremonies that brought a picturesque campus of Georgian architecture and painted roofs. Wakeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s colors have been black and gold since 1895, thanks to a badge designed by student John Heck, who died before he graduated.

Skip Prosser scholar-athlete of the year

tyler zeller

north carolina Wake Forest head basketball coach George Edward “Skip” Prosser passed away on July 26, 2007. Prosser compiled a 291-146 career record in 14 seasons as a head coach, including a 126-68 mark in his six years with the Demon Deacons. The 2003 ACC Coach of the Year, Prosser won 20 plus games and led Wake Forest to the NCAA Tournament in each of his first four seasons in Winston-Salem and brought the school its first outright ACC regular season title in 2003. Every Wake Forest senior he coached graduated and the Deacons placed nine players on the annual All-ACC Academic Basketball Team during his tenure. In order to be nominated for the award, a student-athlete must be an upperclassman with a grade-point average of 3.0 or better – both in his career and in the previous two semesters. Sixty percent of the award is based on academic achievement and 40 percent on athletic accomplishments.

The ACC

Lights Up Atlanta

By Matt Winkeljohn

As lessons go, this one was instructional without being particularly painful. After two numerically impressive ventures into the Georgia Dome, the ACC Tournament’s Atlanta edition returns to a conventional basketball facility in 2012. Philips Arena sits on the footprint of the old Omni and promises to heed core supporters’ suggestions that while big is cool, it isn’t always obligatory. The ACC Tournament averaged 36,505 fans per session with a total of 182,525 attendees in 2001, setting NCAA records in the process. The second-highest totals in NCAA history came when the ACC was in the Dome in ’09 (26,352 and 158,112). “The feedback that we have continued to get from our fans, our donors, people associated with the tournament ... has been that having our tournament in a traditional-size arena was the best thing for us in terms of protecting the

80 2012 ACC Basketball Tournament

tournament brand and having the kind of atmosphere and environment that we want to have,” ACC Commissioner John Swofford said when announcing that Philips would be home to this year’s tournament. The Dome, which played host to the 2002 and 2007 Final Fours and will play host to the Big Dance again next year, can be grand, but when the ACC last visited something was missing: the warm and fuzzy feelings. So when Atlanta officials bid in 2009 to host the event again, their bid substituted Philips for the Dome. Philips may not be the ACC’s most common home, as the Greensboro Coliseum played host to the past two conference tournaments and will host the next three, but when Swofford announced the decision, he said the conference had a more homey feel in mind. “This was a visceral kind of decision,” he explained. “Playing in Philips Arena provides our teams and fans with

Record-setting crowd at 2001 ACC Tournament a more traditional and intimate environment. That’s an important market for us, an important city for us.” The ACC’s five previous tournament stops in Atlanta (the first three were staged in the old Omni, precursor to Philips) have been good to the conference. In three of those seasons, the eventual NCAA champion came from the ACC. NC State won the conference tournament in the Omni in 1983 before its storybook ride to the title. Duke won both championships in 2001. Eight years later, Duke claimed the conference crown and North Carolina seized the NCAA championship. Georgia Tech won the ‘85 ACC tournament in the Omni, and North Carolina won it there in ‘89. “The [conference] tournament [champion], that’s really who’s recognized as the ACC champ,” said Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski. “In the last 20 years or so, I think I’ve put a little more emphasis on the tournament. The tournament . . . is like the showcase event.” Atlanta is certainly not new to the big time. The city has played host to two Super Bowls, an Olympiad, several World Series, three men’s Final Fours, one women’s Final Four and more. “We’ve got over 10,000 hotel rooms within eight blocks [of Philips],” said Atlanta Sports Council vice president Ken Chin. “When you look at shopping, hotels, restaurants and other attractions within walking distance . . . and given the number of ACC alums in metro Atlanta, and the access that Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport gives, we’re we think we’re well positioned to host this event. “We know that the ACC has a great home in Greensboro, but when they decide to go on the road, we’d love for them to come to Atlanta.”

Only Krzyzewski (32 years as an ACC head coach), Florida State’s Leonard Hamilton (10), North Carolina’s Roy Williams (nine) and Virginia Tech’s Seth Greenberg (eight) have been to Atlanta as head coaches for ACC Tournaments. The rest of the league’s coaches are fairly (or very) new to the league. Eight of 12 coaches have arrived since the tournament last came to town. Georgia Tech (Brian Gregory), Miami (Jim Larranaga), NC State (Mark Gottfried) and Maryland (Mark Turgeon) have new coaches this season. Last season, Boston College’s Steve Donahue, Wake Forest’s Jeff Bzdelik and Clemson’s Brad Brownell debuted in the ACC. Virginia’s Tony Bennett is in his third campaign. They’ll all be new to Philips, which opened in 1999 with a basketball seating capacity of 18,729. “I think it’s good to move it around to expose our product to different parts of the country,” Hamilton said. “I think it’s nothing but good.” No newcomer will more welcome the opportunity to play in Philips than Tech’s Gregory. The Yellow Jackets’ campus is a mile from the Arena, and Tech played many of its “home” games there this season while the Jackets’ place is being renovated. “Atlanta’s a world-class city,” Gregory said. “The more people that come to Atlanta, and the more people who talk about the ACC, the better.”

League’s Players and Teams Lend Helping Hands

Tanner’s Greatest Assists are All for Kids By Will Vandervort The cameras were not even on, but fortunately for the kids at the Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta at Scottish Rite Hospital, Tanner Smith was on. Though he was handing out his now famous Tanner’s Totes in front of the glitz and glamour of a Koops Production crew shooting for ABC, Smith, a starting guard on the Clemson men’s basketball team, took extra time to visit with each child whether the cameras were rolling or not. Smith talked to the patients at Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta as if they were his own family or dearest friend. He listened to them as he shared a few laughs and hugs along the way. “The emotion you get in a place like that is unmatched,” Smith said. “I don’t think you can compare it to anything else. You get swarmed by every possible emotion. You are feeling for these kids that are going through a tough time, but at the same time you’re happy that they are excited they got a Tanner’s Tote. “You can see hope in their eyes. You can see it in the family. They are so appreciative. You can see how much the kids are fighting to live, so the emotions are all over the place. It is amazing. To be there, to help out and make them smile for at least a little while is exactly why we do Tanner’s Totes.” And that’s why Koops Production chose Smith, Tanner’s Totes and his story for a television show called Everyday Health. Mark Koops, the creator and executive producer of the hit television series The Biggest Loser, is the executive producer of Everyday Health TV series. Everyday Health, Inc. co-founders, Ben Wolin, CEO, and Mike Keriakos, President, are co-producing. Everyday Health is one of six original, HD programs comprising Litton’s Weekend Adventure premiering Saturday mornings in most markets following Good Morning America. The show is hosted by Laila Ali, a world-class, elite athlete, Ethan Zohn, a former professional soccer player and humanitarian, and Jenna Morasca, champion of Survivor: The Amazon. “I have the best job in the world. I get to travel the country and find the most inspirational people and help share their story with the world,” said Zohn, who hung out with Smith and his family in his hometown of Alpharetta. “Tanner and his story with Tanner’s Totes is a slam dunk.” The show’s altruistic message hits close to home for Zohn, the former champion of Survivor: Africa, who used his million dollar prize money to co-found a non-profit organization in 2002. Zohn was then diagnosed with CD 20+ Hodgkin’s Lymphoma in 2009, and Jenna Morasca, his long-time girlfriend, was thrust into the position of being his caregiver. “I know if I got one of Tanner’s Totes, things would have been a little bit different,” Zohn said. “There are days when you just want to give up.

82 2012 ACC Basketball Tournament

You feel miserable. You can’t eat, you can’t sleep and your hair is falling out. You are tired, but if I got one of those tote bags, it would have changed things. “I really respect what he is doing.” Smith used the three days of filming with ABC as another opportunity to raise money for Tanner’s Totes. According to his parents, Craig and Kathy Smith, more than $6,500 was raised for Tanner’s Totes during the time in which the production crew was in the Atlanta area. “It has been just amazing,” said Kathy Smith, Tanner’s mother. During their time at the Smith household in Alpharetta, the crew captured Smith telling the story of how Tanner’s Totes began, showed him filling tote bags, showed a fund raising event at his old high school, and then showed him handing out totes to the patients at Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta. “The show is looking for exactly the title, `Everyday Health Heroes.’ We are looking for people who have noticed something in their community that needed to be done, and then went out and made a difference,” said Kristen Alexander, one of the show’s producers. “When we found out about Tanner and what he was doing, his social consciousness was so impressive, so we had to come here and meet him.” Though the extra media coverage is good for Smith, his family and the Clemson men’s basketball team, Smith appreciates what the show is doing because it gives Tanner’s Totes a chance to expand its horizons. And that means it gives a sick little boy or girl, who is in desperate need of cheer, a reason to smile. “That’s why we do it,” Smith said. “It is really a special moment.”

Leadership Runs Deep By Ira Schoffel His garnet-and-gold uniform keeps Bernard James awash in cheers during Florida State home games. But it’s the camouflage uniform he hung up four years ago that keeps him in good standing when the Seminoles go on the road. James, who served six years in the U.S. Air Force before pursuing a college basketball career, sounds almost surprised when asked about the kind treatment he has received on campuses around the ACC. “I think they must know my story,” James said. “It seems like I get heckled the least out of anybody. There’s plenty of ammo, especially with me being older. There’s a lot of grandpa jokes to go around. And they really don’t heckle me very much. I think that might be a product of my background.” James is indeed older. After his years in the Air Force and two more at Tallahassee (Fla.) Community College, the 6-10 power forward now is a 27-year-old senior. And while he admits he still has plenty to learn about the game – he didn’t even play in high school and was only noticed by college recruiters after he excelled on an armed-forces all-star team – James has blossomed into a star for the Seminoles. He is Florida State’s top scoring option in the paint, one of the ACC’s top rebounders, and he also is among the ACC’s leaders in blocked shots. “What he brings to the court is maturity, first of all,” Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski said. “He’s a man. He’s 27 years old, has been through quite a bit. There’s nobody in our league who brings more maturity to the court than he does – physical, mental, emotional. “Then his skill set. He’s a tremendous shot-blocker and offensive rebounder and a very unselfish, outstanding player. In other words, he’s all about what the team is doing. Everybody in our league would want him on their team.’’ James also is, of course, a media darling. During his two years in the league, James has been profiled by countless newspapers, magazines, websites and television stations. And he said it never gets old. “I feel like I’m bringing some honor and recognition to the Air Force,” said James, who served stints in Iraq and Qatar. “I’m proud of the fact that I served, and I’m proud of the other men and women that are still in the armed services. I really enjoy the fact that people and the media are so interested in my military history.” Given his success at the ACC level, James now has his sights set on a professional basketball career. But if that doesn’t pan out, he will finish his degree and consider returning to the Air Force as an officer. “It made me the man I am today,” he said.

Cane Nation – Everybody Needs a Hero In Coach Jim Larranaga’s first year with the University of Miami men’s basketball team, his players began to build lasting relationships with the Coral Gables community. Through the 2011 Cane Nation Basketball Shootout, the UM basketball team offered individual hoops instruction and heroes all at once to boys in grades K-6. For four weeks throughout the fall, Cane Nation provided boys the unique opportunity to interact with the University of Miami basketball players in a true basketball setting during pre-season workouts. This once-in-a-lifetime experience offered youngsters the thrill of spending quality time with their basketball heroes. After the Miami players-turned-coaches drafted their teams, the UM guys taught the young Canes the fundamentals of individual and team basketball and guided their teams through three games each weekend. “When I was a youngster, I loved following college basketball,” said Larranaga. “It was a real thrill for me to meet college players. They were my heroes.”

Deacons Build Foundations in the Community Giving back to the community through Habitat for Humanity means a little more to Wake Forest guard C.J. Harris. Harris, who also grew up in Winston-Salem, says that helping build houses this past fall was something very worthwhile. “It felt good to do something like that and truly give back to the community,” Harris said. “And it’s in my hometown so helping with Habitat was nice.” Harris said it was exciting work and he spent a lot of time on a roof. The Deacons, along with the coaching staff, spent about six hours one afternoon helping to build a house. “It was exciting and we’ve done this every year and I look forward to it because it gets you out of your element,” Harris said. “I’m not used to building houses but it was a satisfying experience. It was a great experience and we got to bond with the team.” It wasn’t just the basketball teams at Wake Forest that helped work on several houses near the Wake Forest campus. Five more teams have been donating their time throughout the year to helped build houses for lowincome families. Habitat for Humanity in Forsyth County brings together community partners and volunteers to help qualified families construct and buy wellbuilt homes and helps them become successful homeowners. The women’s volleyball team, the men’s soccer team, the women’s tennis team as well as the baseball team and the track and field athletes have all given their time. What made the work more enjoyable for Wake Forest center Carson Desrosiers was he got to meet one of the families. He said he made sure teammates didn’t slack off in their work. “Meeting the family that was actually going to live in the house was kind of a cool experience,” he said. “It made us think that we can’t sit around or goof around. We’re building this for that family. It made us work that much harder.” Desrosiers said he’ll remember helping out a family for a long time. “We literally just impacted somebody’s life and you can’t say that with too many things nowadays,” he said.

Pack Helps Heal Homeless By John Dell Before the season started the NC State Wolfpack had a life lesson that was very worthwhile, according to guard Scott Wood. After a September intra-squad scrimmage, Coach Mark Gottfried took the entire team about three miles from campus to The Healing Place, a non-profit alcohol and drug rehabilitation facility for the homeless. “We were shown around and talked to some of the people that were there and they shared some of their stories,” Wood said. “A lot of them are trying to turn their lives around and it really kind of puts some perspective out there to what we are doing. We are playing basketball and going to a major university, but these people are trying to get back on their feet.” This was the second-straight year the Wolfpack visited The Healing Place, a 279-bed facility. Two years ago Chris Corchiani, a former Wolfpack All-America, got involved in the facility and wanted to get the current Wolfpack team involved as well. The Wolfpack spent nearly an hour at the facility getting a tour. Gottfried told those at the facility: “It’s a privilege for our players to be here. Just like you root for us, we’re pulling for you and you have our support.” For those are treated at The Healing Place, 70 percent of them leave

clean and sober and will hopefully go on to lead productive lives. “It was inspiring to meet those people and to hear their stories whether it was drug addiction or alcohol abuse,” Wood said. “They are trying to pull themselves up and you can’t help but hope they all make it.” Corchiani, a 1991 graduate of NC State, said the visit by the Wolfpack was beneficial. “We put on this event to raise awareness,” he said. “Having the NC State men’s basketball team here is a boost for it.”

Heels Provide Special Experience By John Dell Taking time out to work with Special Olympics athletes during the heart of the ACC season wasn’t hard at all for the North Carolina Tar Heels. For the ninth straight year, since Roy Williams was hired as head coach, the Tar Heels put in a clinic for the athletes. It’s something Williams loves doing and the players are also glad to give back. “People look up to us as Carolina basketball players and it feels good to be able to give something back,” said forward John Henson. “We know we’re more fortunate than some and it’s good to keep that in mind.” During the middle of January the Tar Heels put on the two-hour clinic at the Dean E. Smith Center. There were more than 100 Special Olympics athletes who took part in the clinic. “Seeing the smiles on the faces of the Special Olympians when we’re out there teaching them and having fun is a special feeling,” Henson said. “The Special Olympics clinic is one of my favorite things about being a Tar Heel player.” Other athletic teams at North Carolina have also put on clinics for the Special Olympics through the years. Williams, who has won two national championships since returning to North Carolina as head coach, says reaching out to the community is an important part of his program. “One thing I’ve told my players ever since returning to Carolina was that we want to build not just a team, but a program,” Williams said. “Part of building a program is reaching out to the community off the court. “I want our players to realize there is more than basketball in the world and our Special Olympics clinic is one good way to do that.”

Upholding A Tradition of Excellence ACC Coaches Continue a Heritage of Success

By Patrick Stevens

Eight of the league’s 12 coaches were hired within the last three years, including four who will make their ACC Tournament debuts at Philips Arena in Atlanta. One brings Final Four experience with him, the first coach to join the league with a trip to college basketball’s final weekend since Roy Williams. Miami’s Jim Larranaga guided George Mason to the 2006 Final Four and is closing in on 500 career victories in his 28-year career. But don’t think Larranaga is entirely new to the ACC Tournament; he was an assistant at Virginia from 1979 to 1986 and coached in the championship game in 1982 and 1983 the latter trip the first time the event was held in Atlanta.

or decades, ACC basketball has been defined not only by its success but also by the coaches who helped engineer those triumphs. None was anonymous. All had incomparable styles. Most could be easily identified by first name or, barring that, a simplistic nickname. Dean. Norm. Lefty. Jimmy V. Coach K. Gary. Roy. All have left an indelible mark on the conference, as have the likes of Everett Case, Terry Holland and Bobby Cremins. But nothing entirely remains the same. With Gary Williams retiring last year after 22 seasons, two Final Fours and a national championship at Maryland, the conference is left with only one coach 2011-12 ACC Coaches and ACC Commissioner John Swofford (Duke’s Mike Krzyzewski) who has been on the job in the ACC for more than 10 years. Krzyzewski, of course, has four national championships and 13 ACC Tournament titles to his name. North Carolina’s Roy Williams has two NCAA Tournament titles and a pair of ACC Tournament crowns during his time in Chapel Hill. Those are the mainstays, of course, but his year’s ACC Tournament will showcase some fresh faces among the conference’s coaching ranks.

theACC.com

The other newcomers have enjoyed postseason success as well. NC State’s Mark Gottfried has reinvigorated the Wolfpack in his first season and has the team in contention for an NCAA bid. That’s nothing new for the former UCLA assistant, who took Murray State (two) and Alabama (five) to a combined seven NCAA Tournaments --- including the 2004 Elite Eight with the Crimson Tide. Meanwhile, Maryland coach Mark Turgeon is no stranger to advancing in the NCAA Tournament, either. He led Wichita State to the Sweet 16 in 2006 --- where the Shockers met Larranaga’s Mason team and collected 97 victories in four years at Texas A&M. There’s also a pre-coaching pedigree; he played on the Kansas team that Krzyzewski defeated in his first Final Four appearance in 1986. Georgia Tech’s Brian Gregory also

has a postseason tie to a current ACC coaching legend. One of his highlights at Dayton during an eight-season stint was the 2010 NIT title. The team the Flyers beat to cap the run? Roy Williams-led North Carolina. For now, all four newcomers are still establishing themselves as newcomers. But it’s possible any of them will emerge as coaches fans will know on a first-name basis. An impressive showing in the ACC Tournament would certainly be a good start for making that happen.

Celebrating Williams’ Championship Career By Patrick Stevens

The career of one of the ACC’s greatest coaches ended last year. His legacy, though, will remain visible for some time to come. Maryland’s Gary Williams retired in May after 22 seasons in College Park and 33 overall. On Jan. 25, the school publicly dedicated Gary Williams Court before the Terrapins’ game against Duke at Comcast Center. “I think it’s something you never thought would happen,” Williams said. “You just coach. You don’t think of things like that. The idea that the board of regents and people like that gave it the OK certainly means a lot.” Williams completed his career with

88 2012 ACC Basketball Tournament

a 668-380 record, including a 461252 mark at Maryland. His crowning achievement was the 2002 national championship, though he also reached the 2001 Final Four, won the 2004 ACC tournament, was twice the ACC coach of the year (2002 and 2010), is the ACC’s third-winning coach (behind Dean Smith and Mike Krzyzewski) and built the Terps back from the program’s darkest days. “Gary has been an iconic figure in the ACC,” ACC Commissioner John Swofford said. “His resurrection of the Maryland program to national championship status was huge, not only for the University of Maryland, but the Atlantic Coast Conference as well.”

By John Dell It seems as if Coach Mike Krzyzewski of Duke reaches another milestone after every victory, but when you have as many wins as he does, it shouldn’t be a surprise. Coach K was at it again this season as he became the all-time NCAA Division I leader in victories among men’s coaches. It was rather appropriate that Krzyzewski broke his mentor Bob Knight’s mark for most victories in New York City’s Madison Square Garden, where Krzyzewski played several games for Knight while at Army. With the record-breaker early in the season and with Knight doing the broadcast on ESPN, the accomplishment took on even greater significance. Countless former Krzyzewski players also made the game. After shaking hands with Coach Tom Izzo of Michigan State after the 74-69 victory Krzyzewski, went to press row and embraced Knight. He also made sure to find his wife of 42 years, Mickie, and he shared in the moment with her and the rest of his family. Krzyzewski, who has four national championships, tried to downplay the significance of passing Knight with victory 903, but that wasn’t going to happen. “Maybe now they’ll take specials of me off TV,” he said after the milestone win. “I’m getting tired of watching me

on TV. But the kids see that and they put some pressure on them.” Krzyzewski was aware that there was plenty of pressure to win in front of his mentor. “I want to thank the basketball gods for allowing Coach (Knight) to be here, you know, for this moment,” Krzyzewski said. “To have the two of us together because you don’t know this would happen. That was really a good thing for the two of us to be together tonight.” In more than three decades as a coach at both Army and Duke, perhaps Coach K’s biggest quality is his ability to adapt to the changing generation of players. With the pressure of coaching making it harder and harder to sustain excellence Krzyzewski’s accomplishments and greatness will likely not seen for a long time. Thanks to the NBA strike, several of his former players made it to Madison Square Garden. Shane Battier said: “It’s just amazing to be here on this night to see the culmination of this work ... He’s ageless. He looks great, and he looks the same as when I was a freshman.” Krzyzewski has become an expert at keeping things fresh in his coaching style and his commitment to Duke. “There’s no reason to think he won’t be around for many years to come,” Battier said.

Mason Plumlee

A tradition of By David Teel

yler Zeller knows balance sheets as well as stat sheets. Mason Plumlee added a second major after visiting the Great Wall. Tanner Smith chose his academic path to enhance his charitable foundation. Say hello to three of ACC Basketball’s academic beacons and the latest examples of the conference’s time-honored commitment to the student-athlete. Last month, North Carolina’s Zeller, Duke’s Plumlee and Clemson’s Smith earned Academic All-District honors from the College Sports Information Directors of America. Zeller and Plumlee then made CoSIDA’s first-team Academic All-America, with Zeller named the Academic All-American of the Year. A 2011 selection as well, Zeller is the seventh ACC basketball player to earn multiple first-team honors. The others are three-time honorees Mike Gminski (Duke) and Tom McMillen (Maryland) and two-time recipients Shane Battier (Duke), Todd Fuller (NC State), Terry Gannon (NC State) and Jim Spanarkel (Duke). “It definitely is challenging,” said Zeller, a senior business adminis-

tration major who last semester narrowly missed a 4.0 GPA – he received an A-minus in financial statement analysis. “Sometimes you’d rather go home after practice and hang out with friends, or you’re tired and just want to lay around and watch a movie or something. Instead you have to go home and study, get your homework done and try to compete at a high level rather than just trying to get it done.” The ACC’s classroom excellence hardly is limited to basketball. The NCAA’s most recent Graduation Success Rates, for athletes who enrolled from 2001-04, show Duke and Boston College at 97 percent, second nationally behind Notre Dame. Ten of the ACC’s 12 schools exceed the national Division I average of 80 percent. Seven ACC schools rank among U.S. News and World Report’s top 38 universities, three more than any other conference. Moreover, the ACC and Big Ten are the only leagues to have each of its members among the top 101. “Tomorrow, God forbid, I could get hurt in practice, and basketball could be done for me for the rest of my life,” Smith said. “But I graduated in December, and that’s something nobody can ever take away from me.” Smith’s degree is in marketing, a pursuit rooted in Tanner’s Totes, the foundation he created to provide bags of toys and toiletries for children hospitalized long-term. Motivated by

his father’s battles with cancer and complications from a bonemarrow transplant, Smith estimates Tanner’s Totes has helped more than 3,000 patients at more than 40 hospitals. “This is something I’m going to continue until there is no Tanner,” Smith said. “Hopefully whenever that happens, someone will want to pick it up after me. … There’s no reason not to continue. We’re in a great place right now. … We’ll see how big it gets. Who knows?” Plumlee, a junior and the grandson of a long-time Purdue University professor, knew little of China before learning that Duke’s team was traveling there, and to Dubai, last summer. A psychology major like his father and older brother, teammate Miles, Plumlee immediately enrolled in a class on China. Upon the Blue Devils’ return, Plumlee took additional China-related classes, leading to a second major in cultural anthropology. “Whether you want to or not,” Plumlee said, “as a student-athlete you stick out in class because you’re physically bigger, so you want to show the other students that you respect the teacher, respect the class, by paying attention, participating, being engaged in the class. “A lot of people say school’s not fun, but it’s fun here. You can make it fun.”

Seven ACC schools rank among U.S. News and World Report’s top 38 universities, three more than any other conference.

30th Anniversary Remembered

Tar Heels Claim 1982 NCAA Championship By Nolan Hayes

ne shot marked the birth of a superstar. One win cemented the reputation of a coach. One championship helped build a new home for a program. One weekend provided a glimpse into the future of a sport. What a weekend it was for North Carolina and the ACC. On March 29, 1982, the Tar Heels beat Georgetown 63-62 at the Superdome in New Orleans for their second NCAA championship. It is one of 10 NCAA crowns the ACC has claimed in the past 30 years; no other conference has won more than six national titles in that span. That NCAA championship was UNC’s first since 1957. Although Coach Dean Smith had guided the Tar Heels to the Final Four six times in a 15-year span leading up to 1982, each time they went home without cutting down the nets. But after freshman Michael Jordan made a jumper from the left wing with 17 seconds remaining and James Worthy intercepted an errant pass from Georgetown’s Fred Brown, Smith and the Tar Heels had their elusive title. “The program had so much success, but the one thing that had been lacking during that time was a national championship,” said ACC Commissioner John Swofford, UNC’s athletics director at the time. “As unfair as it was, a lot of people — media, fans and so forth — had that whole thing with Dean that he ‘can’t win the big one.’ My biggest feeling at the time was

how terrific that was for Coach Smith because he deserved it.” The timing of the title was fortuitous. Swofford had been chosen to guide the UNC program in May 1980, when he was 31 years old and only five years removed from his first job in college athletics, ticket manager at Virginia. Upon taking the reins, he faced the daunting challenge of building an on-campus basketball arena and funding it exclusively with private donations. The project would cost $34 million, and no single gift would exceed $1 million. Smith and the Tar Heels gave plenty of help. They advanced to the NCAA title game in 1981, losing to Indiana 63-60, before coming back the next season to win the national championship. With good feelings abounding after the title run, donors were enthusiastic about making contributions to the cause. Smith kept winning after the Tar Heels moved into the new arena, which carries his name. He guided UNC to another NCAA crown in 1993, again in New Orleans. The Tar Heels added national titles in 2005 and 2009 under Roy Williams, who was a 31-year-old assistant on Smith’s staff in 1982. All of those NCAA championships were special, but the 1982 Final Four has become a historical treasure. The three games that UNC, Georgetown, Houston and Louisville played that weekend haven’t just passed the test of time; they’ve aced it. The games were decided by a total of 10 points, tied for the

smallest combined margin at a Final Four. The championship game, one of six in history decided by a single point, took place in front of a then-record crowd of 61,612. The previous record had been just 31,765, set at the Houston Astrodome in 1971. And the talent on the floor in 1982? Put it this way: The key players remain easily identifiable, 30 years later, by just a first name or a nickname. There’s Patrick and Akeem (now Hakeem), Clyde the Glide and Big Game James. Then there’s the guy who needs no name at all. Throw out some initials (MJ) or a number (23), and everyone knows who you mean. “That Final Four may have had more pure individual talent than any Final Four ever,” Swofford said. Second place isn’t even close. Georgetown’s Patrick Ewing, Houston’s Hakeem Olajuwon and Clyde Drexler, and UNC’s Jordan and Worthy all are members of the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame. All five were named among the 50 Greatest Players in NBA history. Worthy was the 1982 Final Four’s Most Outstanding Player, scoring 28 points on 13-of-17 shooting against the Hoyas in the title game. But it was Jordan who — boosted by the confidence he gained from making the game-winning shot — went on to become a player whom many consider the greatest of all time. The memorable players and competitive games at the 1982 Final Four have led to a lasting legacy for the event as we near its 30th anniversary — appropriately with another Final Four in New Orleans. But one theme stands out above the rest for fans of UNC and the ACC who look back at that super weekend at the Superdome. “My strongest feeling was just for Dean and the fact that he achieved the one thing that his teams hadn’t quite been able to achieve, even though they had had so much success,” Swofford said. “I was happy for the university and happy for the program and happy for those players, but I was happiest for Dean.”

John Bagley D

uring his sophomore season at Boston College, John Bagley moved from a nominal forward spot to point guard. The fact that he barely stood 6 feet tall and would benefit from the backcourt was a good part of it. And then there was something even more practical. “Every time I looked up,” Wake Forest guard Frank Johnson marveled after the Eagle landed with 35 points on the Demon Deacons, “Bagley had the ball.” Whether creating for others or keeping it himself and working his way through people who were supposed to swat his shots into the arms of the popcorn vendors, Bagley made BC a viable power in the early years of the Big East Conference. His time came nearly three decades before the Eagles migrated to the their new conference home, but you can safely assume he’d have made his mark in today’s ACC, which is 50 percent larger than the league of his college era. “I was at the FSU-BC game and had a really good feeling,” the Eagles’ 2012 ACC Legend said. “It felt like something big – bigger than what I had ever known because there are a lot of schools in the ACC now, and to me, that means major competition and visibility.” The versatile player from Connecticut led the Eagles to the NCAA Tournament’s Sweet 16 in his sophomore season of 1980-81 and a round farther the following year. He averaged 19.6 points a game in those seven contests, one of which stands among the best any ACC team has faced. The Demon Deacons were ranked 11th in the country in that season’s final Associated Press poll and were presumed headed for the regional semifinals. But this was the same quadrant of the draw in which St. Joseph’s had shocked No. 1 DePaul, and Bagley ensured the upsets didn’t stop there. His 10-for-16 performance included the game’s biggest shot, a 10-footer from the left baseline with 54 seconds left that put Boston College ahead for good at 63-62 in an eventual 67-64 triumph. His total of 35 points remains the highest by an Eagle in NCAA Tournament play. “We had a system that worked and had proven to be successful for us,” Bagley said. “Going into the NCAA tournament and playing against Wake Forest, which had a national reputation and players with All-American honors, we were excited to see how we measured up.” BC would lose to St. Joe’s in a slowdown game that predated the shot clock. By modern standards, the 4241 final score seems like an unreasonable facsimile of basketball, but in the early 1980s, Bagley said teams didn’t feel deprived. “Everybody had to play under the same rules,” he said. “If you could dictate the tempo, you could dictate

the game. There were always strategies going on in an era when you didn’t have the mechanisms to speed things up.” The Eagles got back at their earliest opportunity. In March of 1982, Bagley-led clubs dispatched 40 percent of the consensus first-team All-Americans, edging Quintin Dailey’s San Francisco team in the first round and Terry Cummings and DePaul in the second. Bagley went 10-for-18 in a 26-point effort against the Blue Demons. “Having had success the year before, we knew we were capable of playing on a national level,” he recalled. “Without being cocky, we liked our chances.” Bagley produced similar stats in the regional final, going 11-of-18 in scoring 26 against Houston. BC dropped that one, but the run to the national quarterfinals is tied for the best in Eagle history, matching the 1967 and 1994 teams’ showings. Bagley declared for the NBA Draft after that season and went on to a 13-year career in which he continually elevated his play to match the occasion. Primarily a distributor in the pros, he averaged six assists a game in the regular season but 8.4 per playoff contest. “It becomes a pride thing,” he said. “You want to be able to brand yourself, put your name out there and let everybody know what you’re capable of doing.” These days, Bagley brands himself by teaching the game and life skills to the youth of Bridgeport, Conn., and he’ll return to the most frequent site of his NBA playing days when he sets foot in Philips Arena, which was once home to The Omni. Bagley played several seasons for the Hawks. “I’m just excited about having an opportunity to be in that atmosphere,” he said

Sharone Wright S

harone Wright will stick to basketball, thank you very much. But with his reputation, shouldn’t somebody draft him for politics? Cynics might say he’d make a fine obstructionist legislator. Clemson’s ACC Legend could reject attempts with the best in Washington in a career that took from Macon, Ga., to Tigertown and the NBA. He still stands 10th in ACC history in total blocks (288) and blocks per game (3.13) some 18 years after his final Tiger contest. His timing and work ethic made him the sixth overall pick of the 1994 NBA draft. “I think it comes back to when I was a younger kid,” he said. “I worked out with a former Laker, Myles Patrick, who was a really big influence on me. He would lean on me every time I jumped. I learned the rules of shot-blocking and positioning really early.” One of the first McDonald’s All-Americans to sign with Clemson, Wright became an unmistakable presence on both ends of the court, earning third-team AllACC honors in 1993 and a second-team selection in his final campaign. He rejected 10 shots in two games of a two-week stretch in his sophomore season and had a six-game run as a junior that featured averages of 17.7 points, 12 rebounds and 4.2 blocks per contest. “I was going to go to Duke, but my father said he wanted me to go to a place where it would be my team,” Wright said. “And (coach) Cliff Ellis made it my team. Everything he said he’d do, he did it.” In the process, Wright competed favorably against a group of other ACC big men that includes another 2012 Legend, Malcolm Mackey of Georgia Tech, in addition to Duke’s Christian Laettner, North Carolina’s Eric Montross, and Joe Smith of Maryland, who became the No. 1 overall pick in 1995. Wright went to the Philadelphia 76ers, who, curiously enough, released former Duke star Johnny Dawkins to make room for him on the 1994-95 roster. Earning playing time right away, Wright evoked comparisons to Moses Malone, the former Sixers legend. Although not the dominant offensive player that Malone was, Wright once paid tribute to him in a Sports Illustrated article in which he said he sought to emulate everything about the guy – including mannerism such as walking hunched over to give the opponent the impression he was fatigued when he was still full of energy. Wright was a second-team All-Rookie selection that season, and it’s bittersweet to wonder what he might have done if not for a car accident in July 1997. Wright was doing volunteer work in his hometown for the Harriet Tubman Museum, the largest center devoted to African American art, history and culture in

the South, when he lost control of his vehicle. The car flipped over four times and Wright suffered a shattered elbow, fractures in both arms and other injuries. He was only a little more than one year removed from the best individual season of his life. After being traded from Philadelphia to Toronto, he averaged 16.5 points in 11 games for the Raptors. The following season, 1996-97, Wright’s effectiveness was mitigated by a shoulder ailment that hadn’t fully healed when the accident amplified the problems. Working on the mechanics of his game was out of the question. Wright was in a cast until February of 1998, and when he did make it back, he logged only 44 minutes in seven contests. His NBA days were over. His career was not. Wright kept working out and ultimately carved out a career overseas, helping teams to championships in Poland and The Netherlands. He also played in South Korea, China, Greece and Spain in a tenure that lasted until 2007. “I found out that basketball is everywhere and not just in the NBA,” he said. “I met a lot of good people. It worked out. I’m happy about it.” Here’s some context: The first ACC player chosen in that 1994 draft was Duke’s Grant Hill, the third selection. He’s still playing in the NBA. Wright, a 6-11 center, is of a different body type than Hill, and that makes comparisons less than perfect. But it is fair to presume the accident trimmed at least a few seasons off his NBA career. While Wright does wonder about that, he is concentrating these days on a variety of basketball-related ventures in and around Rancho Cucamonga, Calif., where he resides with his wife and four children. “I was going to go back and coach in Europe this year, but the money was not correct,” he said. “And I decided to stay home and try to nourish my family the way I should.”

Kenny Dennard T

he announcement that he’s an ACC Legend reduced elbow-swinging, joke-cracking, cancer-beating Kenny Dennard to tears. And it gave his wife a perfect rhetorical opening. “Well now,” Nadine Dennard said, “it’s not just in your own mind.” Seriously, folks, the former Duke forward is a selfeffacing link to two eras in Blue Devil history and a guy with a lot of tales to tell. And you’d better believe he enjoys the opportunity. Having shot 51 percent from the floor and scored more than 1,000 points over his career, he could make a case for his newfound status on numbers alone. But it’s more fun to quip than to quote stats. So much fun, in fact, that Dennard’s writing a book, tentatively titled “Back Stories From the Front Lines,” that has a projected publishing date of Dec. 12, 2012. “That way, I get it out there nine days before the world ends,” he deadpanned, referring to the ancient Mayan calendar that allegedly foretells man’s doom. “I think you can read it in nine days.” The book itself has a backstory. Eighteen months ago, Dennard met Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito, whose son attends Duke, at a football game tailgate party. Alito was the guy who encouraged the project. Dennard came to Duke from a relatively unlikely place, King, N.C. And if not king of the hoops universe, he was at least a prince and a jester. As a freshman, he helped the Blue Devils to the NCAA championship game. After Dennard’s junior season, coach Bill Foster surprised the masses by taking the job at South Carolina. In came this 33-year-old guy from Chicago with the challenging last name. By timing, seniority and leadership, Dennard and Gene Banks became the captains of Mike Krzyzewski’s first Duke team. “Gene and I had more dog years together than he did as far as experience at Duke was concerned,” Dennard said. “It was an interesting time. It was a risk for everybody. It could have gone either way.” The Coach K era began with a 17-13 record that was followed by consecutive losing campaigns. But while some may have wondered, Dennard was a believer, having seen the coach’s adaptability. “I had a great year with him,” the player said. “He didn’t come in like some heavy-handed guy, and I give him a lot of credit for that.” Dennard averaged seven rebounds and 10.6 points a game as a senior and was often able to step into passing lanes and disrupt opposing offenses. His total of 11 steals against Maryland on Feb. 3, 1979 set an ACC single-game record that still stands.

He went on to the NBA and just as his season with the Kansas City Kings was about to start, he was diagnosed with testicular cancer. “Back then, they didn’t want to say the word testicle,” he said. “The Kings released that I had cancer ‘of the lower abdomen,’ which is a death sentence. Everybody thought, ‘Well, he’s gone.’ “I woke up from surgery and there were these flowers everywhere. The kind of arrangements you might see at a gravesite. I thought, ‘Well, am I dead?’ “ Far from it. Dennard fought the disease the way he confronted opponents like fellow ACC Legend Lee Raker of Virginia, among others: straight ahead. As of this year, he’s a 30-year survivor and an eloquent fund-raiser for the American Cancer Society’s Coaches vs. Cancer program. He’ll donate 33 percent of his profits to the cause, a joint venture with the National Association of Basketball Coaches that has brought in more than $70 million. “I tell people that cancer saved my life because it sensitized me and changed the way I viewed the world,” he said. “I was pretty singular and focused and I don’t know if that would have been healthy for longevity in this life.” For the past 15 years, Dennard has run his own investment consulting business in Houston. He stays in contact with the Blue Devil program and has become a good friend of his former coach, the guy the outside world once doubted. And every Oct. 18, he collects birthday checks from friends who at least pretended to bet him he’d never see his 30th birthday let alone the 30th anniversary of his diagnosis. They suspected they’d have to pay up, of course. “And I always demand interest,” Dennard said.

James Collins P

roximity to home guided James Collins to Florida State, and Florida State gave him the skills to take an opposite and longer path thereafter. The Seminoles’ Legend for 2012 helped the Seminoles to the finals of the NIT in his senior season of 1997 and embarked on a long career in professional basketball overseas that included a championship and a variety of experiences off the court. These days, he has completed the arc, returning to coach his alma mater, Jackson High School in Jacksonville, Fla. So for Collins, the Legend honor offers a chance to do something rare: pause and reflect. Collins contemplated Big Ten schools out of high school, but a couple of factors worked in FSU’s favor. “I’m a Florida kid, and it was cold in Minnesota,” he said. “That, you might say, was a deterrent.” Another factor was imminent fatherhood, which Collins embraced three weeks before he graduated from high school. Being a time zone away from his son would be untenable. FSU, located less than three hours from Jacksonville, offered the perfect situation. “It meant playing in the most prestigious conference in basketball,” he said. “I loved the visit. I had been familiar with the schools because I had friends who had played football. And I liked the direction the program was going at that time.” Pat Kennedy’s first two teams took the ACC by surprise, immediately earning seats at a table populated by bluebloods of different hues. Collins arrived after the second of those campaigns, and while the Noles didn’t keep the momentum going entirely, his shooting skills and defensive tenacity ensured FSU would still be a tough out. Before Florida State joined the ACC, many presumed the program would need several years to get above water, but the recruitment of Collins and others suggested otherwise. The Noles indicated the move to a higher league doesn’t have to be perpetually arduous, and the tectonic shifts in college sports in recent years have given many programs reason to examine stories such as FSU’s. Collins, who hit 37 percent of his 3-point field-goal attempts, still ranks among the program’s Top 10 in several offensive categories. The Seminoles missed out on postseason in Collins’ first three seasons but were rewarded for their patience

with an NIT bid of which they took full advantage. The senior guard led FSU to wins over four marquee programs, Syracuse, Michigan State, West Virginia and Connecticut, as the Noles advanced to the title game. In the semifinals at famed Madison Square Garden, he went 8-for-12 from the 3-point line as the Seminoles edged the Huskies 71-65. “We were always on the (NCAA) bubble,” Collins said. “My biggest moment at the school was being able to go to the NIT championship game.” Collins, a third-team All-ACC player in 1995 and 1996, earned a promotion to second team in 1997. (The competition for the first five was pretty substantial: Tim Duncan, Antawn Jamison were among that group.) A few months later, he was a second-round NBA draft pick, and he played 23 games for the Los Angeles Clippers in 1998. He learned the opportunities on the biggest stage are rare; he also figured out the world’s a stage. With a family to take care of, he ventured far and wide to apply his skills. Collins played one season in Italy and helped one of his Spanish clubs to a league title in a seven-year stint. He looked into situations in France and Russia but got out in one case when payment appeared unlikely and in another when the city was literally being demolished block by block in the early days of post-Soviet Russia. The schedule, which includes three practices on some days and only one game in most weeks, was a bit of a grind. “The season in European leagues drags on too long,” he said. “You’re away from your family. “You do earn that money. And you have to get used to the customs, the food and an entirely different lifestyle.” When Collins returned to these shores on a fulltime basis, he knew he wanted to get into developing the youth of his hometown. In the recently completed season, Collins’ team started four underclassmen. “I’m not radical with throwing chairs or anything, but I do light into the kids a lot,” he admitted. And he has plenty of stories to tell them.

Malcolm Mackey W

hether in youth or adulthood, in vehicles or choice of college, Malcolm Mackey knows a good sales pitch when he hears one. And Georgia Tech is especially pleased he recognized one more than 20 years ago. The seeds for the Yellow Jackets’ first Final Four appearance were planted in the summer of 1988, when Mackey, a well built player from Chattanooga, Tenn., and Kenny Anderson, one of the most acclaimed New York playmakers outside of Broadway, met at a summer all-star camp. They clicked. If cell phones had been invented, they’d have burned minutes as they ultimately burned overmatched opponents. These days, Mackey remains the Jackets’ career rebounding leader, and he’s the institute’s ACC Legend as the conference tournament returns to Atlanta. The only Jacket to start on two ACC championship teams, he has a resume that stands on its own. But he is aware and happy that he’s often linked to the guy who often got him the ball. “We hit it off and exchanged phone numbers and addresses,” Mackey said. “We would talk to each other during the recruiting process. Our two schools in common were Georgia Tech and North Carolina. I think Kenny signed first and then he called me and said he would love to play with me. He was definitely part of my decision-making because I knew the impact of playing with a good point guard.” He also knew the value of the total experience at Tech, which was developing along with the city that would host the 1996 Olympics. “Atlanta is a great city where a lot of people are successful and where you can grow,” Mackey said. “I felt Bobby Cremins had the coaching style that fit my game. With the players I would be playing with, I knew right away we would have a nationally ranked team.” These relationships are common these days, but they were in their relative infancy in the late 1980s, when the summer basketball circuit was starting to take off. This one would prove to be especially important to ACC hoops history. The 1989-90 Tech team is best known for Lethal Weapon 3, the nickname given to the triumvirate of Anderson and wing men Brian Oliver and Dennis Scott. But the point guard and the diligent big man, Mackey, were another solid team within a team. It often worked like this: Mackey would claim a defensive rebound and fire a crisp outlet pass to Anderson, who’d bolt upcourt and have options on either side. In the 1990 NCAA Tournament, the Jackets met LSU and a center named Shaquille O’Neal. Shaq got his 14 rebounds, but Mackey matched him. Breaking even on

the glass meant a general advantage to the Jackets, who prevailed for a trip to the Sweet 16. “I remember the whole week of the tournament in New Orleans,” Mackey said. “That was some of the most fun I’ve had in my life.” Having already won the ACC Tournament, Tech had enjoyed a successful season. But the program had never been to the Final Four until the Jackets dispatched two Big Ten foes, Michigan State and Minnesota, for the right to play in Denver. Neither altitude nor the prospect of playing the eventual champion, UNLV, bugged this bunch. “When you’re playing in that type of game, when you know the whole world is watching, you feel like you’re walking on air anyway,” Mackey said. Anderson would go on to the NBA after his sophomore season, but Mackey hung around to add to his personal legacy. In 1992, the Jackets pulled off one of the great last-second wins in NCAA Tournament history when James Forrest threw in a buzzer-beater to beat Southern California and ran into Mackey’s arms. “It taught me something I use in my professional career: The game is never over until you see all zeroes up there on the scoreboard,” Mackey said. “I remember the other team celebrating like they had won and not realizing that the game wasn’t over. When we hit that shot, it was a tribute to not giving up.” As a senior in 1993, Mackey helped the Jackets defeat that season’s eventual NCAA titleist, North Carolina, in the ACC Tournament finals. A few months later, he became a first-round NBA draftee. He played one season for the Phoenix Suns and for more than a decade overseas. “When I came to Tech, I was listed as a good player, but I don’t know if anybody expected me to achieve the things I achieved at Tech,” he said. These days, Mackey is the Internet sales manager of a Georgia car dealership, which means he still fields offers and still recognizes the value of teamwork. “I remember being a young guy at Georgia Tech when guys would receive awards at half court,” he said, reflecting on his imminent ACC Legends honor. “It’s funny how things turn. Now I’m that guy.”

Johnny Rhodes E

xcuse Johnny Rhodes for a moment. He has to take this call. Gary Williams waits on the alternate line. “To this day, we are still in contact,” the former guard says of his former coach a minute later. “We support each other. It’s amazing to have a coach who is also your friend.” The bond is easily understandable. Williams helped Rhodes fulfill a childhood dream that once seemed iffy. Rhodes helped build the Maryland program from the residue of punishment to the realization of promise. As a result, he is the Terrapins’ ACC Legend for 2012. Known as one of the best defensive guards of the past 20 years, Rhodes is appreciated almost as much for his original decision to attend the school as for his oncourt achievements. “My freshman year was the first year we had gotten off probation,” he said, referring to NCAA-imposed sanctions for rules violations under a previous administration. “I am part of the class that changed the program.” Rhodes, point guard Duane Simpkins and forward Exree Hipp, all of whom hailed from within a decent chest pass of Cole Field House, were the core of Williams’ first fully loaded group of recruits. They all grew up watching Maryland basketball, dreaming of wearing the uniform and pausing while collateral damage from various events imposed harsh penalties on the program. But as they were getting ready to make college choices, they knew things would work out. “We had seen talent go elsewhere,” the Washington, D.C., native said. “And we said, ‘We’ll be able to put Maryland back on the map.’ Being area guys, we saw Len Bias and Walt Williams and other guys. Growing up, that was the school you always wanted to go to anyway. Then the circumstances weren’t the best, but when our time came and the sanctions were lifted, it was perfect.” In his sophomore year, Rhodes was joined by Joe Smith, a forward from Virginia who had somehow been under-recruited. And off they went, making the NCAA Tournament’s regional semifinals. Once banned from the postseason, Maryland was a player again. Rhodes’ role was to agitate and initiate. A gym rat with a sharp memory, he earned the respect of coaches and teammates for an ability to see something on tape -- and we are talking tape rather than modern video technology -- and put it to practical use. “I was one of those guys who had a pretty good basketball IQ,” Rhodes said. “Along with understanding the game, we watched a lot of film. I knew if they weren’t able to swing the ball to this particular side, that

would disrupt their offense. And I would try to disrupt the offense. A lot of times, they would make that pass and I’d be a step ahead.” Whether swiping passes or dribbles, Rhodes set a standard for laudable kleptomania. He holds ACC records for steals per game in a career (2.82) and a season (3.7 in 1996). In so doing, he became the only player in league history to surpass 1,700 points, 700 rebounds, 400 assists and 300 steals. If Simpkins was the playmaker and Smith the finisher, Rhodes was the generalist who blended it all. The Terps made the NCAA Tournament in his sophomore, junior and senior seasons, and that success helped make it cool for local prospects to look at Maryland again. Among Rhodes’ successors were two Baltimore guys, forward Keith Booth and undersized guard Juan Dixon. In 2002, Dixon led the Terrapins to the NCAA title. When not messing with opponents’ work, Rhodes created his own work as an art major. He transforms images these days as owner of a construction company. “It’s all in the same chapter,” he said. “I’m able to visualize something when it comes to construction.” Like many others close to the program, Rhodes was shocked when Williams retired after last season, but he has maintained his ties to all parties. “I’ve been on that campus from when I was a student to the present day,” he said. “I’m always around and trying to be helpful and to be somewhat of a mentor to current players.” And as far as ACC Legend status is concerned, Rhodes will connect with his contemporaries in the group, including Randolph Childress of Wake Forest, Sharone Wright of Clemson and James Collins of Florida State. “The talent throughout the ACC was incredible,” he said. “Every game, you had to bring it.”

Ron Godfrey I

f you think of University of Miami basketball figures from a couple of generations back, you start with Rick Barry. That’s universally understood. Just don’t go too long before you get to Ron Godfrey. Godfrey arrived in Coral Gables more than a halfcentury ago as an acclaimed high school player and helped the program to its first NCAA Tournament bid as a junior. A decade later, he was a young head coach in a tough spot, and his alma mater has never forgotten his work. Inducted into the school’s Hall of Fame in 1998, he’s an ACC Legend in 2012. “I have a pretty good life,” he said from his Coral Springs, Fla., home. In his high school days, Godfrey was a contemporary of three Ohio kids who went on to fairly distinguished careers in the sport: Jerry Lucas (Middletown), Bob Knight (Orrville) and John Havlicek (Bridgeport.) Godfrey and Havlicek were both born in Martins Ferry, a steel-producing town on the West Viginia border. Godfrey’s father worked for the Wheeling Pittsburgh Steel Corporation and wanted his son to see life beyond the steel mills. So while the more famous Ohio triumvirate assembled at Ohio State, Godfrey made a geographically different choice, ultimately selecting Miami over Georgia Tech and Duke. And his reputation as a peer of the three Buckeyes worked its way to south Florida. “The first time we went to practice,” teammate Dick Hickox said, “we knew Ron Godfrey could flat-out play.” Over his career, Godfrey averaged 17.5 points a game and was a key factor in a Hurricane first. The 1959-60 team made the NCAA Tournament, and that was no easy task. Miami lacked conference affiliation, an on-campus venue for home games and even a fulltime athletics department facility for practice. The Canes practiced in the university’s armory. They overcame all those obstacles and, in an era before Bracketology, learned of their postseason gig when coach Bruce Hale beckoned them to his office. They were 23-4 and rewarded for it. “We were all ecstatic,” Godfrey recalled. “We played to go to the NIT or the NCAAs, and we just figured if we were good enough, one of them would invite us.” The Canes went 20-7 the following season, and after graduation, Godfrey fielded an offer from Hale to stick around and serve as his assistant coach. He hasn’t left the area since. Hale did depart, however, heading to the new and highly experimental territory of the ABA in 1967. Godfrey, not yet out of his 20s, was promoted to the top job. The Canes still lacked the amenities of their oppo-

nents, and they were trying to make a go of it in what was becoming a pro town and a football town. They played home games at the Miami Beach Convention Hall North, on which they once shared the marquee with Tarzan Tyler and The Great Beauregard. You remmeber them, right? Pro wrestling legends. Season-ticket holders numbered 100. Even in the Barry days, they never got more than 150 fans to sign up. Shortly before practice was set to convene in 1970, the university announced its intention to disband the team after the season. Godfrey was in California attending a wedding at the time. His players vowed to boycott, a threat on which they didn’t follow through. History, therefore, recalls Godfrey as the coach who was on board when the plug was pulled. If fair, history should also note that there wasn’t a causal link between the coach and the end. His first two teams had winning seasons. After the third year, which resulted in a losing record, the bad news came. Godfrey kept the team together and managed to coax nine wins out of a group of players who knew they’d soon have no basketball home. The Hurricanes went out with dignity. Current Florida State coach Leonard Hamilton is widely credited with the program’s renaissance after its restoration in the mid-1980s, and the future looks bright with Jim Larranaga on board. Godfrey, for his part, fondly remembers his playing days and is appreciative of the Legend status because it shines a light on an otherwise overlooked era in the school’s history. “We were like a big family. It was hard to describe. We played together. We ate together. Went to the movies together. There wasn’t one (singular) star.”

Kenny smith T

his Jet seldom experienced delays or required more than routine maintenance, and he’s still in service in a slightly different capacity. He’ll barely have to scoot off the runway to appear as North Carolina’s ACC Legend for 2012. Kenny “The Jet” Smith, former point guard and current television broadcaster, is a popular and practical choice. He was a consensus first-team All-American as a Tar Heel senior, and his work as a studio analyst on NBA telecasts has him based about a bounce pass away from the site of this year’s ACC Tournament. From 1983-87, Smith doled out 768 assists, the second-highest career total in ACC history at the time. His leadership and precise guidance helped UNC post an average record of 29-5 in his four seasons, and he’s still prominent on an impressive list of great Tar Heel point guards. He is further buffered from obscurity by virtue of his TV career, in which he is a foil for the comical, offthe-wall declarations of his Turner Sports comrade, Charles Barkley. Their on-air chemistry is the sort of thing Smith developed on the floor with the legion of future pros along the UNC front line. In that role, he has the liberty to reference one of the best games of his college career, a 22-point, six-assist performance against Barkley’s former club, Auburn, in the 1985 NCAA Tournament. That result put the Tar Heels into a regional final against Villanova. The Wildcats prevailed and continued in winning an improbable NCAA championship. As a senior, Smith averaged 16.5 points and 9.0 assists over four NCAA games as the Tar Heels again made the Elite Eight and fell just short, 79-75. He recorded 25 points and seven assists in that final game, played against Syracuse. One source named him national Player of the Year. He came to Carolina as another of UNC’s several outstanding recruits from in and around New York City. Five of those have been highly decorated point guards, and that sub-category includes Larry Brown (1960-63), Jimmy Black (1978-82) and two of Smith’s successors, Derrick Phelps (1990-94) and Ed Cota (1996-2000). In other words, Smith arrived in the middle of a stretch in which Big Apple point guards were in charge for 16 of 22 seasons. Smith brought the confidence and grit of his home turf to the ACC, and he had another undeniable element: speed. A head-and-shoulders fake followed by a devastating first dribble often left opponents compelled to help from the wings or the post. Smith then had the touch to make pull-up intermediate shots or find

a cadre of teammates that included Sam Perkins, Brad Daugherty and Michael Jordan. Such are the options every point guard dreams of, and Smith generally made the right choice. Along with a two-to-one assist-turnover ratio, he shot better than 50 percent from the floor in all four seasons. That’s exceptionally uncommon for a guard and is even more rare these days, when the allure of the 3-point shot can become an unwise distraction. Smith only earned first-team All-ACC honors once, as a senior in 1987, but that’s a testament to the depth of talent in the league over anything else. He smoothly proceeded to a successful, 11-year NBA career that featured a leading role on two championship teams in Houston. He averaged a shade under 13 points and 5.5 assists per game in the pros and was an All-Rookie selection in 1988. He became a broadcaster in 1998 and immediately found the TNT studio gig to be another solid fit. Quick witted and subtle, he is essentially the straight man to Barkley’s comedy. The repartee is often every bit as entertaining as the games it describes. Smith, who played for the Hawks on the site of the current Philips Arena, is probably the most recognizable of this year’s legends and can reasonably anticipate a warm welcome in his current hometown.

Legends of the Atlantic Coast Conference

Todd Fuller A

nybody who followed the ACC two decades ago could tell you Todd Fuller was an outstanding player, and if given a couple of hours, the former NC State center could probably quantify the extent of his success by empirical means. The number-crunching would be the easy part. Convincing him to cast aside his inherent humility might be the real obstacle. While Fuller’s Wolfpack squads didn’t win the ACC title, his personal story was pretty compelling. He went from lightly recruited prospect to first-round NBA draftee and did it all while earning recognition as college basketball’s finest scholar-athlete in his senior season of 1995-96. “A culmination of a lot of hard work and a dream come true,” the Pack’s 2012 ACC Legend said. “There are thousands of players who dream of getting to that point. I was fortunate to be blessed to reach it.” Wake Forest and NC State were intrigued with the 6-foot-10 kid from Charlotte, who hadn’t done the whole AAU circuit and lacked a national profile as a result. Davidson and the U.S. Naval Academy, only a few years from successfully juggling its mission and the unique size of 7-1 David Robinson, was on board, too. Fuller liked the fact that Les Robinson, State’s coach at the time, was a former high school teacher who wanted his players back on campus and in class the morning after every road game. These things get noticed, he said. And Fuller helped with that in many ways. On the court, he worked his way from the middle of the rotation to a succession of All-ACC honors: third-team status as a sophomore, second-team acclaim as a junior and first-team selection in 1996. One of the ACC’s best rebounders, he developed a quick release on intermediate shots and was tough tough to stop once he flashed to the post and got a touch on an entry pass. Generally speaking, his career highlight was the chance to play in front of his fellow students at Reynolds Coliseum. Specifically, that included upset wins over North Carolina in consecutive seasons. The Tar Heels were ranked No. 1 in the land in one game and seventh in the other. “Playing in Reynolds had a feeling to it that I’ve never seen in all my years playing professionally in different countries,” Fuller said. “Our fans made it something truly special.” Meanwhile, he was on his way to graduating from State Summa Cum Laude in Applied Mathematics. Academic All-America of the Year was among his senior season’s awards, and a chance at the Rhodes Scholar-

ship was another. “I felt like I approached basketball and academics with a similar mindset, which was to work as hard as I could and get the most out of it,” he said. “I felt blessed to get those awards. Felt like I got too many, actually. I’ve never viewed myself as some kind of Einstein.” Fuller had to decline the Rhodes opportunity because he was being projected as a high NBA draft pick, and that came to pass when the Golden State Warriors took him 11th overall in 1996. He walked across the stage at the Meadowlands Arena across the river from Manhattan and became a part of Pack history. “I got the full experience, including the bus driver cursing out other drivers,” he said. “Unforgettable. I can remember everything from the suit I wore to the other people who were seated at my table.” Fuller played parts of five seasons in the NBA, including a playoff run with the 1999 Utah Jazz, before his game took him to three seasons in Spain, a couple in Australia, a year in Poland and a month in Greece. “If, for some reason, they told me I had to leave the U.S. and could never return, I would live in Melbourne or Barcelona,” he said. As for the Greek league? “There are three clubs in all of Greece that are known to pay well, to pay consistently and to pay on time,” he said. “I was not on one of them.” He returned to these shores with no regrets but with a college degree and a desire to help young people. With a former professor of his at State, he created a competition in Wake County, N.C., that he hopes to spread across the state and eventually to Charlotte, where he is a math teacher at a charter school.

Lee raker N

o, Lee Raker won’t recognize the place. Atlanta’s Philips Arena is far flashier than The Omni aspired to be. But when Virginia’s ACC Legend walks onto the floor to be recognized, he might feel some good vibes anyway. The home of the 2012 ACC Tournament sits on the same spot where Raker and his Cavalier teammates earned one of the most significant victories in the program’s history, a 74-60 win over BYU in the 1981 NCAA Tournament’s East regional final. The result made UVa the first ACC team outside of North Carolina to make a Final Four, and it’s a memory the forward carries with him. “When you were a kid, that’s what you were gonna do someday. No matter who you were,” said Raker, who works for a hedge fund in Boston these days. “Then we finally got there and it was a surreal thing. You can’t appreciate what it is in the moment. You’re focused on trying to get done what needs to be done. But in looking back, I think it was pretty enormous.” Raker and his high school teammate Jeff Lamp were the first elements of a package that coach Terry Holland, not all that removed from his playing and coaching days at Davidson College, assembled in his early years in Charlottesville. The Cavaliers later added Terry Gates, a third alumnus of Ballard High School in Louisville, Ky., to provide bulk up front. “And it didn’t hurt to have Ralph come along,” Raker said. That would be Ralph Sampson, a 7-foot-4, oncein-a-lifetime prospect from Harrisonburg, Va., who became a three-time consensus national Player of the Year. “That was the missing piece, and it propelled things at that point,” Raker remembered. It propelled a cultural revolution at an institution that only a few years earlier had debated whether to become a viable player in ACC sports or remain content with less than mediocrity. Soon, the Cavaliers were No. 1 in the land, bound for the cover of Sports Illustrated and feted around town. A local sandwich shop named its largest item for Sampson. Everybody was a rock star. “One of the nicer things about my whole time there was that my parents could walk into town and everyone knew who they were,” Raker said. “I just tried not to embarrass them. That was my goal in life.” He succeeded, averaging 13.3 points a game as a junior and helping the Cavs win the NIT championship in 1980, when the event still resonated fully with fans. “That day, five or six busloads of people had come up from Charlottesville,” he said. “They were all up in

the cheap seats and making more noise than you can imagine.” The following year, the Cavaliers began 23-0 and occupied No. 1 before a one-point loss at Notre Dame on that rare (at that time) bird known as national television. A month later, fans and media anticipated a regional final rematch in Atlanta until BYU’s Danny Ainge dribbled through the Fighting Irish defense and made a buzzer-beating layup to dispatch Notre Dame and pair the Cavs and Cougars for a trip to the Final Four. In the regional final, Raker contributed his usual, steady 12 points and was one of four Cavs in double figures as the program moved on to Philadelphia. They mounted ladders and cut down the Omni’s nets, snipping souvenirs for a second straight year. (They had done the same at Madison Square Garden after the NIT.) An academic All-American as an economics major in 1981, Raker moved into the business world and has been in the high-pressure hedge-fund world for several years. “Every day is exciting,” Raker said. “It’s a lot easier on my body these days. But it involves a lot of the same attributes. You try to focus, do things the right away and know the other things will take care of themselves.”

Dale Solomon Legends of the Atlantic Coast Conference

ale Solomon cannot reveal the identity of the people he guards these days. That’s classified. His previous work in guarding and manning a post has always been public, and for fans of the Virginia Tech Hokies, it’s a great story. Solomon, a first-team All-Metro Conference player in all four of his seasons, is his alma mater’s ACC Legend for 2012. “I couldn’t have imagined this,” he said. That’s chiefly because the Hokies were several years from joining the ACC in Solomon’s era (1978-82). The Metro served them well, however, as they enjoyed rivalries with Louisville and Memphis State and made two NCAA Tournaments and an NIT in his four years. In fact, Virginia Tech won the league in its first season of membership, 1978-79, behind the play of the 6-foot-9 freshman, who was named the conference tournament’s Most Outstanding Player and the league’s Freshman of the Year. “Just like any basketball player, I thought the Metro Conference would go on forever,” he said. “The Metro faded away, and by entering the ACC, Virginia Tech helped its recruiting.” The ACC of Solomon’s day was undeniably rugged, but competing in the Metro, from which Louisville won the 1980 NCAA title, suggests the Hokies wouldn’t have been overwhelmed in any league. Solomon wouldn’t have allowed it. He averaged 18.4 points a game over his career, and his total of 2,136 points is still good for fourth on the school’s all-time list. “Winning the Metro in our first year in the conference was a big achievement for everybody,” he said. “And then playing in the NCAA Tournament against some of the greatest players out there was exciting.” In 1979, that meant facing Larry Bird and Indiana State, which defeated the Hokies and ultimately played for the national title. Solomon scored 12 points that day – Bird finished with 22 points, 13 rebounds and seven assists – and had a taste of higher competition. He’d get other chances. In 1982, the Philadelphia 76ers selected Solomon in the third round, and he had a chance at a lifetime dream. He also had foresight, a trait that not everybody possesses when presented a chance at an NBA roster spot. “I went to rookie camp and did pretty well and they did invite me back to veterans camp,” he said. “But there wasn’t enough of a guarantee. They had just signed Moses Malone. And then I saw a great opportunity to play overseas.” Solomon took that deal, going to Italy for 12 seasons and to Spain for one. He arrived in Italy in the summer of 1982 when the country was in delirium over its soc-

cer team’s World Cup triumph. “Everything shut down,” he recalled. “Nobody was moving. Here I am, a kid from America. Didn’t know anything about Italy or speak the language. The only thing I could understand to order at a restaurant was vegetable soup. I think I ate vegetable soup for almost a month.” But Solomon picked up enough Italian to get around, and his gregarious nature helped him make friends and remain in his professional league for a dozen years. And that also became important when, upon retirement from basketball, Solomon sought to enter law enforcement. Living abroad, experiencing customs and interacting with the locals made Solomon a guy the U.S. Department of Homeland Security to hire. He’s based in Washington, D.C., where he has protected foreign visitors and screened the vehicles and employees of government contractors. He aspires to move from wearing a uniform to a suit, the sort of progress you make if you move into direct personal protection full-time. “It’s something I hadn’t thought of it,” Solomon said of his current career. “When I was growing up, there weren’t too many officers of color around, and nobody pushed their kids to it. Today, we can see many opportunities for people like myself in law enforcement.” Solomon’s protection of the lane in Hokie basketball days included 856 rebounds, a total that stands seventh in Tech records books. His tenacity in the paint and good sense of shot-selection gave him a career fieldgoal percentage (.567) that is second on that list. Solomon says the hardest thing about his work these days is just showing up. He elected to live near where he grew up, on the outskirts of a state park near Annapolis, Md. The drive to and from work lasts two hours each way. But it’s worth it. As an athlete, Solomon saw the world. He sees it these days in a different way. And if his fellow Legends need personal-protection services, he’ll probably be happy to provide them.

Randolph Childress O

ne of the most important events in Wake Forest basketball history went almost entirely unseen. For Randolph Childress, the equal and opposite precursor to 82-80 and March of 1995 was a knee injury in a June 1991 pickup game. The torn ligament knocked him out of action for a year but ultimately extended his career beyond its originally presumed expiration date. Had he stayed healthy, he would have been in the NBA in March of 1995 rather than putting on one of the greatest performances in ACC Tournament history. Childress would have been fine, of course, but Wake would probably be one banner and untold memories short. And so Childress had a fifth year of eligibility, and it would coincide with the maturation of a former swimmer named Tim Duncan, who had arrived in the fall of 1993 to negligible attention but was on his way to stardom. Together, the two formed an outsideinside combination that put the Demon Deacons into the mix of what became one of the greatest seasons in ACC history. Wake, Maryland, North Carolina and Virginia all tied for first at 12-4 in regular-season conference play, and the ACC Tournament pared the field to the Tar Heels and Deacons for the championship. Seven individuals – four Tar Heels, three Deacs – ultimately played in the NBA. They put on an amazing show in the Greensboro Coliseum. Childress, who had dropped 40 points on Duke in the quarterfinals and 30 more on Virginia in the semis, wasn’t done. His 37-point showing against UNC included nine 3-pointers and the decisive shot. With the clock ticking under 10 seconds left in overtime, he dribbled twice to get a step on the Tar Heels’ Jeff McInnis, pulled up at the foul-line extended and connected to give his team an 82-80 win and take his three-day total to a tournament-record 107 points. “I congratulate him,” UNC coach Dean Smith said after the senior’s final ACC game. I’m glad he’s gone.” Childress finished with 2,208 points, a figure still good for second in Wake history and 18th on the ACC chart. A long professional career followed, but its fame was limited by another series of injuries. It included two teams in the NBA, seven in Italy, two in Turkey, two more in France and one in Australia. “I dream,” he said, “but under no circumstances did I think I’d play that long. It took me around the world, and for that, I’m grateful.” Childress clearly has more stories to tell than the average pro player, but around the Wake campus, to

which he has returned as a special assistant to athletics director Ron Wellman, they always want to talk about that afternoon 17 years ago. About the last shot. About the maneuver in the first half in which he faked McInnis to the ground with a crossover move, then subtly gestured at his opponent to get up before making another shot from the left wing. “Those were obviously great times and special moments,” Childress said. “There are certain things I remember, but certain other times are a blur. I try not to focus on it too much and to focus on what I’m doing now.” That began in August, when Wellman hired him as a general-assignment administrator whose duties will focus heavily on mentoring student-athletes. Curiously, three hours after he accepted the gig, the phone rang. Another European team wanted him to come back. This time, there were no detours. “When this opportunity presented itself,” he said, “there was nothing that could get me to change my mind.”

fsu & acc Celebrate 20th anniversary

By Ira Schoffel

hen he was inducted into the Florida State University Athletics Hall of Fame in 1991, Dr. Bernard Sliger was honored as an effective leader and a “universally popular” human being. But his lasting legacy as Florida State’s 10th president, the university proclaimed at the time, was that he helped FSU shed “its independent status and aligned itself with the nation’s most highly regarded academic and athletic conference, the ACC.” Twenty years later, Sliger’s efforts are still paying dividends for the Seminoles and the entire conference. “I don’t think there is any question that the addition of Florida State to the ACC 20 years ago was extremely beneficial to both parties,” FSU athletics director Randy Spetman said. “The ACC has provided Florida State with absolute top-notch competition in every single sport, and I truly believe that our most recent across-the-board success in terms of overall program excellence can be attributed to some degree to the conference. “By the same token, the ACC has benefitted from the national brand of Florida State and probably grown further and faster in both prestige and influence than it would have without the expansion.” Before it joined the ACC in 1991, Florida State operated as an independent in football while participating in other sports through the now-defunct Metro Conference. Through its 1991 marriage with the Atlantic Coast Conference, the Seminoles’ athletic program was able to attain the financial stability that comes with competing in a premier basketball and football league, while also benefitting from the ACC’s superior academic reputation. Though he wasn’t part of the program at the time, Florida State men’s basketball coach Leonard Hamilton appreciates what being in the tradition-rich conference has meant for the Seminoles. It opens doors in recruiting, because many top prospects want the opportunity to play on college basketball’s biggest stage. It provides instant credibility. And, he said, the depth of quality programs in the conference prepares its teams for the postseason. Hamilton is even more excited about what the future might hold, with the recent additions of national basketball powers Pittsburgh and Syracuse to the ACC family. The Panthers finished first or second in the Big East Conference each of the past three seasons, and the Orange are

expected to be a No. 1 national seed in the 2012 NCAA Tournament. “I think you have to give the commissioner and presidents a lot of credit to have vision and be proactive in trying to look toward the future,” Hamilton said. “And for trying to build a conference based on the footprints of the Atlantic Coast.” While Florida State is perhaps best known for its football program, which won national championships in 1993 and 1999, the Seminoles have emerged as a basketball force as well. They are expected to make their fourth consecutive NCAA Tournament appearance this month after advancing to the Sweet 16 last year. And through its marriage with the ACC, Florida State also has been able to make giant leaps in the breadth of its entire athletic program. During these past 20 years, the Seminoles have blossomed into national contenders in golf, tennis, cross country, swimming, volleyball and other sports. That success , which serves to complement their already successful baseball, track and field, basketball and softball programs. FSU added women’s soccer as its 17th varsity sport in 1998, and the Seminoles have only added strength to the nation’s top conference for that sport. So it is no coincidence that as Florida State approached its 20th anniversary in the ACC, the Seminoles enjoyed their best two finishes in the Directors Cup standings, which measure the overall success of collegiate athletic programs. They finished fifth nationally following the 2009-10 academic year and ninth in 2010-11. And this year may mark Florida State’s best finish yet. In the final rankings for the fall of 2011, the Seminoles were ranked second nationally, behind only Stanford. “Florida State is woven into the fabric of the Atlantic Coast Conference both academically and athletically,” said ACC Commissioner John Swofford. “They continue to garner national prominence year in and year out” Added Spetman: “It has been a great 20 years, and the future for both us and the ACC seems as bright as ever.” theACC.com
