This is Tennessee State University

Founded in 1912, Tennessee State University has grown dramatically from a small college to two campuses: the 500-acre main campus and the downtown Avon Williams campus which is located in the heart of Nashville near the State capitol. The diverse student population of more than 8,000 represents 46 states and 45 countries. TSU has been listed for 11 consecutive years in the U.S. News & World Report “Guide to America’s Best Colleges.” Tennessee State University is a comprehensive, urban, coeducational land-grant university offering 45 bachelor degrees and 24 master’s degrees. Doctoral programs include biological sciences, psychology, public administration, computer information systems engineering, administration and supervision, and curriculum and instruction. When you think about Tennessee State University, many things come to mind – a rich heritage and legacy in athletics, academics, entertainment, research and service. Tennessee State University has long been a rising star among universities across the country. It is designated as one of the best public historically black colleges and universities in the nation, and it’s not by accident. Tennessee State University is among the few historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs) with a chapter of Phi Eta Sigma, the oldest and largest freshman honor society in the United States and a Phi Kappa Phi Honor Society, the most prestigious honor society comprising all academic disciplines. A great deal of focus has been given to improving the academic environment – strengthening our research reputation, attracting and retaining the best and brightest students, encouraging service-focused programs, engaging and supporting expert faculty in diverse fields, building on our student-centered philosophy and holding steadfast to our motto of “Think. Work. Serve.” Currently, we are improving customer service and setting new standards of excellence in higher education. But with all the many examples of past accomplishments we can share, we are looking toward an even brighter future.

2009-10 TENNESSEE STATE UNIVERSITY BASKETBALL MEDIA GUIDE

Campus Life Today, Tennessee State University’s student enrollment is more than 8,000. There are more than 400 faculty and more than 1,200 staff who are part of the university’s team. Additionally, the university’s rich strength in embracing diversity is evident with 46 countries and 45 states representative of the student body. The beauty and accessibility of the university’s main campus is a plus with now 65 buildings on more than 450 acres. Complimenting the main campus is a newly renovated downtown campus that features a simulated stock-trading center, a student computer laboratory and continuing education, distance learning and multimedia services. The university is arming students with the intellectual resources to compete in a global environment. In support of that, important partnerships have been established with leading global companies such as Boeing, Raytheon, Dell, IBM and others, in which both funding and service-learning opportunities are currently active.

Avon Williams Campus

The Avon Williams Campus is located downtown, near the center of the Nashville business and government district. Avon Nyanza Williams, Jr, a leading African American lawyer in Tennessee and state senator, represented the plaintiffs in Geier v. Blanton 1972. In 1972, the federal judge, Frank T. Gray, Jr., allowed Sterling Adams and Raymond Richardson (two black professors of mathematics at TSU) and nearly 100 other black citizens from across Tennessee to enter the Geier case as plaintiffs. They formed Tennesseans for Justice in Higher Education. Their complaint centered on the issue that the presence in Nashville of two state supported universities, Tennessee State University a historically black institution and predominately white University of Tennessee at Nashville, perpetuated a state of segregation in higher education in Nashville. In February 1977, Judge Gray ordered the merger of both institutions under the governance of Tennessee State University. This was the first time that a court in a higher education desegregation suite had ordered a historically black college to take over a predominately white one.

In 1979 the University of Tennessee at Nashville merged with Tennessee State University, creating and enlarged institution with two campuses and increased enrollment. The original TSU campus, located in North Nashville, is designated as the Main Campus and the former UT-N campus was renamed in honor of Avon Williams, Jr. (Above) TSU President Melvin Johnson and Tennessee Governor Phil Bredesen cut the ribbon at the Avon Williams Campus Renovation Opening Ceremony.

2009-10 TENNESSEE STATE UNIVERSITY BASKETBALL MEDIA GUIDE

2009-10 Men’s Basketball Season Outlook Experienced and Ready

After an up and down season last year, Tiger fans will be looking for first-year head Coach John Cooper to turn the program around and head in a positive direction. The mix of eight new incoming players, five returning players and a new coaching staff will give the Tigers a new look. A new look and a fresh start may just be what the Tigers need. Of the five returners, senior Jeremiah Crutcher and junior Darius Cox have the most on-court experience as they played in all 30 games and started at least 20 contests last season. Jeremiah Crutcher led the team in assists and ranked fourth in the OVC with 4.0 per game last season. The 5-10 guard recorded a team best 121 assists and shot nearly 40 percent from the field. Crutcher will be looked upon for continued leadership on the court. All-OVC preseason selection Darius Cox played nearly 30 minutes a game last season. The 6-7 forward averaged 10.7 points and 7.0 rebounds per game. He finished the season ranked fifth in blocks (1.2 bpg)and seventh in rebounding (7.0 rpg). Cox also led the Tigers in field goal percentage while ranking fifth in the league (.522). Last year, senior Lonnie Funderburke started in five of the last six games when the Tigers won six straight going into the OVC tournament. The 6-7 forward shot over 40 percent from the field last season. Redshirt sophomore Wil Peters was a defensive spark plug for the Tigers last season. He played in 30 games and started in six out of the last eight. The 6-0 sophomore averaged 15 minutes a game and shot a team best 80 percent from the charity stripe. Rounding out the returners is Greg Holley who saw action in one game last year before redshirting. The 6-1 junior will add depth to the guard position.

The New Faces of TSU Basketball

With only four letterwinners from 2008-09 squad, the newcomers will be expected to step up early. Juniors Hamilton Nash, Erick Peguero, and Josh Sain will bring college experience to the team. Hamilton Nash finished the 2008-09 season as the NJCAA leading rebounder with 14.2 per game at Redlands Community College. He shot 40 percent from the field and 42 percent from 3-point range. Erick Peguero averaged 12.6 points and 6.7 rebounds at Colby Community College. The 6-5 guard shot better than 42 percent from the field for the season. Josh Sain played in 33 games and scored 206 points at Chipola Community College. Before Chipola, Sain averaged 6.7 points per game for Middle Tennessee State. Sain was among Tennessee high schools top prospects and a Mr. Basketball finalist in 2006. Head Coach John Cooper’s first freshmen recruiting class is comprised of a host of talent. Freshman Robert Covington, Marcus Cowan, Tashan Fredrick, Martell Buie and Jacquan Nobles were all area standouts in their high school careers. Freshman Robert Covington has the potential to be an immediate impact player for TSU. The 6-8 forward is a good outside shooter with the ability to knock down shots from the perimeter. As a senior at Proviso HS, he averaged a double-double with 18.1 points and 11.0 rebounds a game. Freshmen Marcus Cowan and Tashan Fredrick will add more depth to the forward position. Marcus Cowan averaged a double-double at Chamblee HS with 16 points and 13 rebounds. The 6-8 forward rated at 85 on ESPN Men’s Basketball Recruiting. He averaged four blocks and four assists a game. Tashan Fredrick scored a total of 377 points at Heminghay HS during his senior campaign. A 6-5 forward, Fredrick averaged 17.1 points per game as a senior. Freshmen guards Martell Buie and Jacquan Nobles will also be seeking time at the guard position. Martell Buie rated at 71 on ESPN’s Men’s Basketball Recruiting. The 5-11 guard was named to the Orlando Sentinel’s Top 30 Seniors dishing 10.1 assists per game.

2009-10 TENNESSEE STATE UNIVERSITY BASKETBALL MEDIA GUIDE

2009-10 Men’s Basketball Season Outlook Jacquan Nobles averaged 20.2 points and shot 63 percent from the field at South Central High School. He handed out 3.3 assists a game and pulled down 7.8 boards per game. The 6-4 guard transfered to South Central after averaging 12.0 points per game at Ayden-Grifton HS.

2009-10 TENNESSEE STATE UNIVERSITY BASKETBALL MEDIA GUIDE

Ohio Valley Conference Entering its 62nd year, the Ohio Valley Conference continues to build on the success that has made it the nation’s eighth-oldest NCAA Division I conference. In 2008, for only the second time in the past decade, the Conference expanded by adding Southern Illinois University Edwardsville as the league’s 11th member. The move expanded the OVC’s geographical footprint to the St. Louis market and marked the first change in membership since expanding to the state of Alabama (Jacksonville State, Samford) in 2003. The OVC’s proud past dates back to 1948, but seeds for the new league were actually planted in 1941. It was then that Roy Stewart, the athletics director at Murray State, Charles (Turkey) Hughes, the athletics director at Eastern Kentucky, and Kelly Thompson, the public relations director at Western Kentucky, first broached the idea of forming a new conference. Discussions were put on hold by World War II, but reemerged Feb. 27-28, 1948 at the Kentucky Hotel in Louisville as the three original institutions combined with Morehead State, Beth DeBouche (De-BUSH) was named the seventh full-time Louisville and Evansville to form the OVC. Commissioner in the 61-year history of the OVC on July 29, 2009. In the 1950s, the OVC became a pioneer on a much more significant scale socially. During times of racial segregation, league member Morehead State became one of the first non-traditionally black mid-southern institutions to accept a black student. In 1958, Marshall Banks earned athletically-related aid at Morehead, which signed a second black athlete, Howard Murphy, a year later. In 1961, Murphy earned all-conference recognition as a halfback in football. With racial barriers broken, the rest of the institutions in the league began to provide educational and athletic opportunities to African-Americans.

The presidents of OVC institutions, however, have always governed the Conference, long before presidential governance became a national theme.

The OVC sponsors the following sports: baseball, basketball, cross country, football, golf, tennis and track for men, and basketball, cross country, golf, soccer, softball, tennis, track and volleyball for women. In addition, the OVC also sponsors the combined men’s and women’s sport of rifle. Now in its sixth decade of competition, the Ohio Valley Conference has grown significantly from its humble beginnings while increasing the number of athletics opportunities it provides for students. Current league representatives include charter members Eastern Kentucky University, Morehead State University and Murray State University, along with Austin Peay State University, Eastern Illinois University, Jacksonville State University, Southeast Missouri State University, Southern Illinois University Edwardsville, Tennessee State University, Tennessee Technological University and the University of Tennessee at Martin. Tennessee State has been a member of the Ohio Valley Conference since 1986.

John B. McLendon, Jr. (April 15, 1915 – October 8, 1999) is noted as one of the most successful high school and college coaches in the sport of basketball. McLendon coached at schools such as Tennessee State A&I University North Carolina College, the Hampton Institute, TKentucky State College, and Cleveland State University. While at North Carolina College, McLendon participated in The Secret Game, the first collegiate basketball contest where blacks and whites competed on the same floor.

Legendary Tiger Head Coach

John B. McLendon, Jr. Three time Coach of the Year, 522 Wins, Three National Championships

He was a three-time winner of the NAIA Coach of the Year award, and won three consecutive NAIA championships at Tennessee State, making him the first college basketball coach ever to have won three consecutive national titles. When he was hired at Cleveland State in 1966, he became the first African American basketball coach ever at a predominantly white university. McLendon also coached professionally, when Cleveland Pipers General Manager, Mike Cleary hired him to be the head coach of the American Basketball League team which was owned by George Steinbrenner. McLendon’s hiring made history, as he became the first African-American head coach in professional sports. In his, and the Pipers, only season in the league, the team captured the league championship. McLendon later went on to coach the American Basketball Association’s Denver Rockets. McLendon was first inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame as a “contributor”, not as a coach. He was, however, selected in 2007 for the second entering class of the National Collegiate Basketball Hall of Fame for his coaching achievements. He was also inducted into the Tennessee State Athletics Hall of Fame in 1983 and the Cleveland State Athletics Hall of Fame in 2007, where his wife Joanna accepted the award on his behalf. A biography of John B. McLendon, Breaking Through: John B. McLendon, Basketball Legend and Civil Rights Pioneer, by Milton S. Katz, was published in 2007. McLendon’s coaching legacy is also chronicled in the documentary “Black Magic”, which originally aired as a two-part series on ESPN in March 2008.

Lloyd Neal

Tennessee State University’s all-time leading rebounder, Neal spent his entire professional career (1972–1979) with the NBA’s Portland Trail Blazers.
