Teresa Phillips Athletics Director S i n c e taking over the h e l m of the Tennessee S t a t e University athletic department back in April of 2002, Teresa Lawrence Phillips has made good on her promise to move the department to a higher level. In her brief time as athletic director, the athletic department has made tremendous strides on the playing field, on the Tennessee State University campus and community and in the classroom. Phillips had served as interim athletic director on three different occasions before accepting the permanent position as the department’s head. Previously, she had served as Associate Athletic Director from 1995 to 1997. Some accomplishments under the Phillips administration include the launching of the first official website for TSU Athletics in August of 2002, the revitalization of the Big Blue Booster Club, the recognition of Ohio Valley Conference Scholar Athletes, and a conference championship in volleyball. Phillips also has the distinction of being the first woman ever to coach an NCAA Division I men’s basketball team en route to being named one of the “101 Most Influential Minorities in Sports” by Sports Illustrated in 2003. She was also named as the Second Most Influential Woman in Sports In Tennessee by The Tennessean newspaper. It was not the first time Phillips had been in the national limelight, as she was named USA Today’s National Coach of the Year in 1990 and was a two-time OVC Coach of the Year selection. No stranger to athletic success herself, she was head coach of the Lady Tigers basketball program at Tennessee State for 11 seasons from 1989-2000. Phillips and her staff enjoyed their most successful season in 1994–95 as the Tigers (22–7,12–4 OVC) gained a share of the regular season title. TSU claimed its second consecutive tournament title and a trip to the NCAA tournament. Facing 21st-ranked Oregon State in the first round of the NCAA Tournament, the Lady Tigers clawed all night before losing in overtime, 88–75. Phillips guided the 1993–94 squad to the program’s firstever OVC regular season crown, the Ohio Valley Conference tournament championship, and the team’s first appearances

ever in the NCAA tournament. She has been invited twice to serve as an assistant coach for USA Basketball (1995 and 1999) and was invited to serve as an assistant coach for the U.S. Olympic Festival North Squad. In the fall of 2001, TSU was awarded the Ohio Valley Conference Academic Achievement Banner for the combined academic accomplishments of its student-athletes. Recently, the football program went from the bottom of the conference to second best in academic success. TSU student-athletes’ combined grade-point average, compared to the average GPA of the student body, was higher than that of any other OVC member’s athletes. Prior to her stint at Tennessee State, Phillips was head coach at Fisk University for four years. During that time, she guided the Lady Bulldogs to WIAC League and Tournament Championships in 1987 and 1988 and was tabbed WIAC Coach of the Year twice (1987, 1988). Phillips also served as the National Youth Sports Drug Program Education Specialist and served on the NCAA Basketball Rules Committee for two years. She compiled a 68-34 overall record with the Bulldogs. A 1980 graduate of Vanderbilt University with bachelor’s degrees in economics and business education and a Masters in Education from TSU in 1999, Phillips, who helped recruit six All-Americans and seven All-State players, spent four years as an assistant coach with the Lady Commodores from 1981 to 1984. Phillips earned several honors as a three-year letterwinner at Vanderbilt. She was the first recipient of the Lady Commodore Athlete of the Year honor, given to the best all-around female athlete. In addition, she received the Nashville Civitan’s Sportsmanship Award in 1979 and 1980. Community oriented, Phillips has served on the Boys’ and Girls’ Club Board of Directors since 1995. She has held memberships in several boards and organizations, including the Black Coaches Association, the Women’s Basketball Coaches Association, the Nashville Sports Council, the NCAA Championship and Competition Cabinet and Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. Phillips, who was born on June 16, 1958, in Chattanooga, Tennessee has two sons, Micah and Kyle.

2008 Outlook In 2007, the Tennessee State University Tigers showed an ability to move the football, racking up and average of 400.5 yards per game in Total Offense. Defensively, however, TSU yielded 385.9 yards per game. The Tigers finished the season as the Ohio Valley Conference rushing offense leader (210.8 ypg), but were tied for sixth (of 10) in Total Defense.

2008 TIGER QUICK HITTERS Offensively, the Tigers look to a veteran offensive line led by seniors Cecil Newton (6-2, 305) and Cornelius Lewis (6-5, 3-10) and anchored by juniors Stewart McClean (6-3, 290) and Duvall Young (6-3, 205). At quarterback there are two veteran signal callers for the Big Blue in senior Antonio Heffner (6-2, 207) and Calvin McNairl (6-0, 210). Heffner led the OVC in Passing (212.3 ypg) and Total Offense (260.4 ypg) before suffering a season-ending ankle injury against Eastern Kentucky (10/10/07) in the seventh game of the year and McNairl came in as a true freshman to lead the Tigers with a 2-2 record in the final games of the season. Heffner participated in limited spring drills and continues to rehabilitate his ankle over the summer for his senior season. The Tiger rushing attack is headed by senior Javarris Williams (5-11, 220) who rushed for 1,187 yds (107.9 ypg) and 12 TDs. Williams enters the 2008 season as the OVC’s returning leader in Rushing (1,187/107.9 ypg), All-Purpose Yards (1,427 / 129.7 ypg) and rushing TDs scored (12).

the aristocrat of bands In the fall of 1946, after six weeks of practice, a 100-piece marching band took to the field at Tennessee State University and a tradition of excellence was born. The idea for a show band at Tennessee State University originated with its second president, the late Dr. Walter S. Davis. President Davis selected J. D. Chavis to serve as the first band director. Under Chavis’s leadership, the marching band grew and developed into a premier university band that gave spectacular performances in parades and half-time shows at football games. In 1947 and 1948, the marching band performed in the Washington Classic in Washington, D.C., where top historically black colleges and universities competed for national championships. Chavis’s tenure as band director ended in 1951 and the baton was passed to Frank T. Greer. Tennessee State University’s distinctive style was further developed under Greer. The band continued to earn invitations to special events. Four years after Greer began his work, the TSU band was invited to perform during the halftime show of a Chicago Bears-Los Angeles Rams professional football game. The performance was the first of a series of nationally televised halftime shows for the band. It was also the first time a historically black university band had appeared on national television. Between 1956 and 1978, the TSU band performed halftime shows for nine pro-
fessional football games. Reportedly, it was during one of these halftime performances that a sportscaster called the marching band from Tennessee State University “The Aristocrat of Bands.” Needless to say, the name stuck. The Aristocrat of Bands has also appeared in the Orange Blossom Classic in Miami, the Blues Bowl in Memphis and the Grantland Rice Bowl in Wichita Falls, Texas. In 1961, the TSU band claimed another first for historically black universities when it was invited to march in President John F. Kennedy’s inaugural parade. One of the students who marched in that parade was Edward L. Graves, who is the current director of the Aristocrat of Bands. Since 1979, Graves has continued to build the band’s legacy. The Aristocrat of Bands has shared its characteristic precision and distinctly soulful style with people throughout the country and in foreign lands. “Greer taught us to dream and to really work hard,” Graves recalled. “He taught us not to be satisfied with just anything. You don’t put a man on the moon without a lot of work. He instilled those standards in us. He taught us to excel.” Students who achieve membership in the Aristocrat of Bands adhere to those standards today. Noted as one of the finest and most spectacular university bands in the United States, the Aristocrats are the featured attraction during pre-game and half-time performances at all home
games and at most out-of-town competitions. Still in demand for halftime performances, parades and other special events, the band’s recent special appearances include a spot in the 2000 CBS Thanksgiving Day parade, performing with country music artists Big & Rich for the 2005 CMT Music Awards, the Nashville Symphony’s 2006 presentation of Porgy and Bess, and halftime performances for Tennessee Titans professional football games. In January of 1993, the Aristocrat of Bands participated in the presidential inaugural parade for President Bill Clinton, marching in the streets of Washington, D.C. The band returned to Washington four years later for President Clinton’s second inauguration celebration. This year, the tradition will continue. Audiences will be thoroughly entertained by the band’s unique marching style and musical versatility. The majorettes, better known as the Sophisticated Ladies, enhance the dynamic style and sound of the Aristocrat of Bands. Graves is assisted by assistant band directors Reginald McDonald, James Sexton, and Sean Daniels, majorette coordinator Judy Fenton Gentry, office manager Michelle Allen, secretary Melva Tate, announcer Ernie Allen, media specialist Cass Teague and instrument repair technician James Pitts.

The Tennessee State Tigers have the opportunity to play their home football games in one of the nation’s finest sports venues in LP Field, sharing the facility for home games with the National Football League’s Tennessee Titans. The state-of-the-art facility has served as home of the Tigers and the Titans from the beginning of the 1999 season. LP Field is located on the east bank of the Cumberland River in downtown Nashville. LP Field, which seats approximately 67,500 fans, boasts incredible amenities, ranging from spacious and tastefully appointed locker rooms to massive scoreboards. The natural grass field was rated as the fourth best playing surface in the NFL in a poll conducted among league players in 2001.
LP Field has 144 luxury suites and 9,600 club seats with access to the stadium club and club lounges. There are also approximately 7,500 parking spaces on the site. LP Field grounds are also designed to help create a park-like setting along the Cumberland River, not just a showplace for bland concrete and asphalt. More than 205 trees have been planted on the 105-acre campus. Tiger fans gather early and stay late to enjoy tailgating on LP Field grounds. In addition to games featuring the Tigers and Titans, LP Field also hosts the annual Music City Bowl college football game in late December. LP Field also hosts concerts and other special events during the course of a year.

NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE Wiith a metropolitan population of nearly one million, Nashville is the largest city in the Ohio Valley Conference. Despite its size, Nashville is a pleasant mix of big city entertainment and “down home” friendliness. Resting halfway between the northern and southern boundaries of the United States, Nashville is the capital of Tennessee and the entertainment, cultural and commercial center of the mid-south. Nashville’s location puts it near the nation’s population center. Major cities such as Atlanta, St. Louis, Cincinnati, Memphis and Birmingham can all be reached by car within 3-5 hours. When it comes to having a good time, there is no better place than Nashville. The city offers a multitude of sporting events, a full range of recreational opportunities, the largest movie theater east of the Mississippi River, restaurants, parks and places to shop. Tennessee State University is one of three historically black colleges and universities in Nashville.

In Memory of Kindell Stephens, Sr. The 2008 Tennessee State University football media guide is dedicated to the memory of Kindell Stephens, Sr.. Kindell dedicated his adult professional life to the “Big Blue” athletic programs ... football, basketball, track and field. His enthusiastic interaction with Tennessee State University student-athletes , colleagues and the community were infectious to all. His phrase “I Guarantee You!” on TSU radio broadcasts still resonates to all who listened to the Tigers’ football games.

Kindell Stephens, Sr.
June 23, 1942 - January 2, 2008
He attended Cincinnati Public Schools, graduating from Taft High School. He played basketball at Bliss Jr. College in Ohio and Ohio University before transferring to Fisk University where he earned his Bachelor of Arts in Education and his Master of Arts in English.
At Fisk University, Kindell starred for three seasons, 1968, 1969 and 1970. He was team MVP in 1969 and 1970 averaging 17.6 points and 11.2 rebounds over his career. He ended his playing career as the second leading scorer in Fisk history with 1,269 points. Kindell Stephens is the only player in Fisk history drafted by the Los Angeles Lakers of the NBA and the Carolina Cougars of the ABA. Stephens was unable to move forward with a professional career due to a career ending injury, but he returned to Nashville and became a mentor and innovator. First as a dorm director at Fisk University where he began to take young athletes under his wing. In 1977, Kindell took the role of Sports Information at Tennessee State University. He quickly began to develop numerous sports programs to uplift young men and women around the city. During this period, he excelled as “The Voice of the Tigers” on TSU football radio broadcasts. Kindell traveled around the world as a coach with the Special Olympics. He was also the visionary of numerous prison basketball ministries. He left Tennessee State University in 1988 and went to work for the Tennessee Department of Employment Security as a mentor to underprivileged men and women. While there he started a life skills program. During that time he doubled as Fisk’s Sports Information Director and wrote sports columns for the Metropolitan Times. Kindell’s love for the “Big Blue” led him back to TSU where he continued to work in the Sports Information Office. Kindell evolved into the role of the Athletic Department’s “Historian” with his vast knowledge of the Tigers’ athletic past. During his lengthy illness, he continued to work on a book on the history of TSU athletics. His untiring work on historic projects for the TSU football, basketball and track teams have had a lasting effect on the recognition of “Tiger Lore”. He had a driving passion to refurbish and sustain the TSU Athletic Hall of Fame.
