In seven seasons Rahe has a career record of 150-75 (.667) overall at Weber State and is 92-24 (.793) in Big Sky Conference games. He has led the Wildcats to 20 or more wins in five of seven seasons with the team and has won 25 or more games in each of the past two seasons, including a Big Sky record 30 wins in 2012-13. Rahe’s 150 wins at Weber State is the third most coaching victories in school history and he is just three wins shy of passing Ron Abegglen for second place. His 92 Big Sky wins ranks as the fifth most victories in conference history.

Rahe has also coached 22 Big Sky All-Conference performers and 21 Big Sky Academic All-Conference performers in his team with the Wildcats. He has led WSU to 10 or more wins in conference play in all seven seasons at the helm, a Big Sky record.

Weber State is coming off a record-setting season in 201213. After losing All-American and future NBA Rookie of the Year Damian Lillard to the NBA, Rahe guided the Wildcats to a record setting 30 win season in 2012-13. WSU finished the year 30-7 overall and became the first team in Big Sky history to win 30 games in a season. The Wildcats won a record 18 Big Sky games and advanced to postseason play for the fifth straight season. WSU also became the first team in Big Sky history to advance to the championship game of a national postseason tournament where they lost 77-74 to East Carolina in the championship game of the Collegeinsider.com Tournament. The Wildcats also set a school record with 17 home wins and tied a school record with 11 road wins.

During the 2012-13 season Weber State set a school record with 17 home wins, finishing the year 17-2 at home. In seven seasons Rahe has a career record of 92-13 (.876) at home and is an incredible 54-4 (.931) at home in Big Sky regular season games. During the 2012-13 season the Wildcats also averaged 6,601 fans, by far the best average in the Big Sky and one of the best in the western United States. It was also the school’s best attendance average in 17 seasons.

During the 2011-12 season Weber State posted a 25-7 overall record and a 14-2 record in Big Sky Conference play and advanced to postseason play for the fifth time in Rahe’s six seasons with the team and won a first round game in the collegeinsider.com Postseason Tournament.

Weber State also led the nation in free throw percentage at 81.4 percent, the single-best team percentage in the history of the Big Sky Conference. WSU also set a school record for three-point field goals made.

The 2011-12 season was highlighted by the play of AllAmerican, District VIII Player of the Year, and Big Sky MVP Damian Lillard who had perhaps the greatest season in school history, finishing second in the nation in scoring at 24.5 points per game. Lillard set a school record for singleseason points with 784, the third most points in Big Sky history and became the first player in the history of the conference to earn All-American honors. He was also a finalist for the Bob Cousy Award, John Wooden Award and Oscar Robertson Award. Lillard went on to become the sixth pick in the 2012 NBA Draft by the Portland Trail Blazers and later became the NBA Rookie of the Year.

The 2010-11 season was another outstanding coaching job by Rahe. Despite losing reigning Big Sky MVP Damian Lillard to a season-ending injury just nine games into the season, the Wildcats still managed to post a season record of 18-14 and make a run at the Big Sky title. They also finished 11-5 in the Big Sky, taking third in the league standings.

During the past season the Wildcats were the best shooting team in the country, finishing first in the nation in field goal percentage and three-point field goal percentage. The ‘Cats also finished in the top 10 in the nation in four other categories and were one of just eight teams in the nation to win 30 games during the season. Davion Berry, Scott Bamforth, Kyle Tresnak and Frank Otis all earned Big Sky All-Conference honors. He was also honored as the 2013 Utah Sportsperson of the Year by the Utah/Idaho Chapter of the National M.S. Society.

Rahe has led the Wildcats to a remarkable 55-14 record over the last two seasons, including a 32-4 Big Sky record.

He has led the Wildcats to the title game of the Big Sky Tournament in three of the last four seasons. Rahe has led the Wildcats to great success at the Dee Events Center.

ABOUT THE WILDCATS TIP OFF

The first-place Weber State Wildcats enter their final homestand of the season this week hosting Sacramento State Thursday and Northern Arizona Saturday. The Wildcats are 15-9 overall and 12-4 in Big Sky play with four conference games remaining.

AROUND THE BIG SKY

Entering this weekend the Wildcats are in first place in the Big Sky standings with a 12-4 conference record. WSU has a two-game lead over Northern Colorado who is 10-6 with four conference games remaining. With two home wins this week, Weber State will clinch at least a tie for the Big Sky standings. The Wildcats will play at Portland State and Eastern Washington to conclude the season next week. Northern Colorado is home to Eastern Washington and Portland State this weekend, then closes the season next week at North Dakota and Southern Utah.

There is currently a three-way tie for third in the league standings with Montana, Sacramento State and North Dakota all 9-7. There is a four-way tie for sixth with Portland State, Eastern Washington, Montana State and Northern Arizona all 8-8. Just two games separates third from 10th in the standings. The top seven teams will advance to the Big Sky Tournament March 13-15 at the site of the regular season champion.

The Wildcats are 8-0 in Big Sky home games this season, finished a perfect 10-0 at home last year, and were 8-0 in 2011-12. The last conference home loss came in March 2011 against Eastern Washington. WSU has won 48 of its last 49 regular season conference home games. Over the past four seasons, the Wildcats are 55-5 overall at home. In the eight seasons under coach Randy Rahe, the ‘Cats are 103-14 at home and 62-4 at home in Big Sky regular season games.

Weber State Athletic Department Administration JERRY BOVEE

Director of Intercollegiate Athletics Jerry Bovee was named Director of Intercollegiate Athletics at Weber State University in September 2009.

Bovee assisted in the completion of the year-long NCAA re-certification process for the Wildcats serving as chief report writer and liaison to the NCAA Peer Review Team. In addition, he has supervised the initiative to improve the Academic Performance Ratings for Weber State’s 16 athletic teams.

Since joining the Wildcats Bovee has been influential in several facility upgrades at Weber State. A new state-of-the-art Daktronics video board was installed at the Dee Events Center, giving fans a new way to enjoy men’s and women’s basketball games. In addition, a new synthetic turf field and new track have been installed at Stewart Stadium. WSU has also refurnished the Edmond Tennis Courts on campus.

Before coming to Weber State, Bovee served as Assistant Director of the Utah High School Activities Association. His duties included organization and management of state tournaments, coaches and officials education programs, sport rules interpretation and a myriad of other duties related to the administration and governance of sports and activities at the high school level throughout Utah. While at the UHSAA, Jerry served as vice-chair of the National Federation of State High School Associations football rules committee.

He has also been involved in the hiring of new employees within the athletic department including a new Senior Woman’s Administrator, a new Marketing Director, as well as new volleyball and women’s basketball head coaches. He has also partnered with KP Sports for WSU’s corporate sponsorship opportunities.

Prior to being named Athletics Director, Bovee spent two years as Assistant Vice President for Administrative Support Services at Weber State. In that role he supervised operations for the Academic Services and Athletics Compliance for the Athletics Department, and directed Campus Police, Mail Services, Printing Services, Environmental Health and Safety and the Dee Events Center and Stewart Stadium operations.

Bovee worked as Sales and Promotion Specialist and later as Assistant Athletics Director for Marketing and Promotions at Utah State from 1992 to 1995. In that role, he directed the corporate sales program for Aggie Athletics. In addition, he developed group and corporate ticketing plans, in-game promotions and other game management programs.

Bovee earned a bachelor’s degree in Business-Finance from Utah State University in 1992. In 2010 he earned a master’s degree in Business Administration from Weber State. He was born and raised in Ogden Utah and attended Ben Lomond High School.

Bovee and his wife Julie have four children: Jared, Ethan, Addison and Seth.

Dee Events Center

The beautiful Dee Events Center is a building of many uses, including the home for the Weber State men’s and women’s basketball teams.

The building has been home to several Big Sky Championships, NCAA Tournaments, and other basketball events, as well as numerous religious and community events.

The Dee Events Center itself has been on national display, hosting the annual NCAA Tournament on four different occasions. In 1980, the center hosted the First and Second Rounds. In 1983 it served as the West Regional Final Site with North Carolina State defeating Virginia, 62-61, to advance to and eventually win the NCAA Final Four. In 1986 the Dee Events Center was once again the site of the First and Second Rounds of the tournament.

That year Louisville won a pair of games in the DEC on their way to winning the national title. The building was host again to the First and Second Rounds in 1994.

The arena has also been home to eight Big Sky men’s basketball tournaments and two women’s tournaments. The Utah Jazz have played 12 NBA preseason games at the DEC. The facility was built at a cost of 11.3 million dollars, representing the combined efforts and cooperation of students, the university and community members for the development of a functional events facility for the greater Ogden and Weber County area. In addition to those funds provided through student fees and revenue bonds, more than five million dollars was raised from private

48

sources in a variety of memorialization programs.

The highlight of the fund drive was the contribution of more than two million dollars from the Lawrence T. Dee and Donnell B. Stewart families.

Ground breaking ceremonies on the forty-three acre site were conducted on March 21, 1975.

Dedication ceremonies were held on November 1, 1977, a little more than two and half years after construction was started. The first event in the facility was a men’s basketball game on November 29, 1977, in which Weber State defeated Long Beach State, 99-96 in overtime.

The Dee Events Center can accommodate more than 12,000 spectators in chair-backed seats.

The building is not just an athletic facility. The arena also hosts the WSU commencement services each year as well as a variety of campus, religious, and community events. The arena frequently hosts the Utah State High School Basketball Championships as well as numerous graduation ceremonies for area high schools.

The DEC has also been the home of many concerts and other performances throughout the years. Alabama, Clint Black, the Beach Boys, Sawyer Brown, Johnny Cash, Bill Cosby, Kenny G, Chris LeDoux, Fleetwood Mac, Barry Manilow, Bette Midler, Willie Nelson, Collin Raye, LeAnn Rimes, George Strait, Taylor Swift, James Taylor, the New York Philharmonic, the Mormon Tabernacle Choir, the Utah Symphony, and Widespread Panic are just some of the many performers to come to the Dee Events Center.

Weber State basketball

Dee Events Center Over the years, the arena has been the site of a circus, tennis and wrestling matches, gatherings by religious groups, and high school basketball championships.

Neil Armstrong, Jake Garn,

Gordon B. Hinckley, Thomas S. Monson, Jon M. Huntsman, Larry Miller, Christopher Reeve, and John Wooden are just a few of the luminaries who have spoken at the facility.

The Big Sky Conference A new era in the Big Sky Conference begins in 2012-13 as the league enters its 50th year of athletic competition, and its 25th sponsoring women’s collegiate athletics.

The Division I Big Sky Conference welcomes the University of North Dakota and Southern DOUG FULLERTON Utah University into Big Sky Conference the fold as full memCommissioner bers. Cal Poly and UC Davis join the league as affiliate members in football, where the league competes at the Championship Subdivision level (formerly I-AA).

The additions of North Dakota and Southern Utah give the stable Big Sky 11 full institutions and 13 football members. The current lineup includes four of the six charter members: Idaho State University, The University of Montana, Montana State University and Weber State. Northern Arizona enters its 43rd season in the Big Sky, giving the conference five members with at least 40 years of continuous membership.

Eastern Washington University joined the Big Sky Conference in 1987, followed by Portland State University and Sacramento State in 1996. The Big Sky became a nine-team league in 2006 with the addition of the University of Northern Colorado.

The league has become one of the strongest Division I conferences in the West and is a national leader in the Football Championship Subdivision. Six times, Big Sky teams have won the Division I National Championship, including Eastern Washington in 2010. A Big Sky team has played for the national championship in three of the past four seasons.

The Big Sky Conference was established in 1963 by six charter members – Idaho, Idaho State, Gonzaga, Montana, Montana State and Weber State. Those six schools formed the foundation of the Big Sky before the league expanded in 1970 by adding Boise State and Northern Arizona. Gonzaga left the Sky in 1979 and was replaced by Nevada, which gave the league eight members. The conference grew to nine schools in 1987 with the addition of Eastern Washington.

The Big Sky now includes nine states spanning from the Pacific Ocean to the Red River Valley of North Dakota. The league is represented along the entire west coast with institutions in Washington, Oregon and California. League schools also range up and down the Rocky Mountains with institutions in Montana, Idaho, Utah, Arizona and Colorado.

On Feb 25, 1963, the name Big Sky was adopted by the six presidents of the charter members as the name of the new conference. The name Big Sky originated in a novel written by the late A.B. (Bud) Guthrie of Great Falls, Mont., in 1947 entitled “The Big Sky.” Jack Hollowell, a former Montana advertising director, promoted the Big Sky theme for the Treasure State.

While on a track and field trip from Pocatello, Idaho, to Missoula, Mont., legendary Dubby Holt of Idaho State saw a “Welcome to Big Sky Country” sign as his team entered Montana. Holt, and his athletes thought “Big Sky” would be a perfect name for the new conference.

Harry Missildine of the Spokane Spokesman-Review called for the newly formed league to be named the Big Sky Conference in his column dated Feb. 20, 1963.

The Big Sky sponsors championships in 15 sports, including men’s and women’s cross country, indoor and outdoor track and field, basketball and tennis. In addition, there are also championships in football, and women’s volleyball, golf and soccer. This upcoming spring, the Big Sky will sponsor a softball championship for the first time.

In 1988-89, the Big Sky Conference first began sponsoring women’s sports. The former Mountain West Conference existed from 1982-88, sponsoring championships for women’s sports at the same institutions the Big Sky had men’s programs. The Big Sky merged with the Mountain West in 1988, forming one league for both men and women.

Doug Fullerton, the fifth commissioner of the Big Sky Conference, is in his 18th year at the helm. Fullerton took over the Big Sky on July 1, 1995, replacing longtime commissioner Ron Stephenson, who passed away in 2011. Stephenson served the league for 14 years. Steve Belko was the commissioner from 197781, while John Roning held the post from 1971-77.

The first league commissioner was Jack Friel, who served from 1963-71.

The 1990s saw change in the makeup of the league, beginning in 1992 when Nevada departed and put the Big Sky back at eight teams. In 1996 Boise State and Idaho left and at the same time the conference added Portland State, Sacramento State and Cal State Northridge. The Big Sky maintained nine teams for five years before Cal State Northridge departed in the spring of 2001.
