first United bank center The First United Bank Center at West Texas A&M University is the premiere multi-purpose arena space in the Texas Panhandle. Officially opened to the public in January, 2002, the FUBC replaced the fabled WTAMU Fieldhouse, better known as “The Box,” as the home venue for WTAMU Buffs and Lady Buffs NCAA Basketball after more than half a century. Conceived in 1996, University officials began planning for the center to host not only graduation but also sporting events, trade shows and concerts. Construction began on Nov. 3, 2000 and the facility opened its doors on Jan. 26, 2002 for the Buffs and Lady Buffs doubleheader against Abilene Christian.

The Lady Buffs were defeated by Abilene Christian on the opening night of the First United Bank Center, 81-77. All-American Celeste Stevenson scored the first two points in the new arena on a jump shot. The 77,000 square foot facility was constructed at a total cost of $14 million. Designed for many uses, the center hosts area high school playoff basketball games, concert performances, as well as craft and trade shows. The arena also hosted the 2002 NCAA Division II National Volleyball Tournament and is the permanent home for WTAMU commencement ceremonies.

Rich, Martina McBride, Willie Nelson and Merle Haggard. Sitting on the outskirts of Canyon, the facility serves as the easternmost anchor for the WTAMU campus. The arena seats approximately 4,700 patrons for sporting events and can seat almost 5,800 for concerts and commencements. The facility houses three home locker rooms, two visitor locker rooms, officials’ dressing rooms, two concession areas, a training/rehabilitation room, a hospitality suite, a hospitality dining room, the First United Bank Center box office and the center’s management suite.

Lady Buffs Look to Achieve Lofty Goals in 2009-10 Season Women’s Basketball Preseason Outlook The West Texas A&M Lady Buff basketball team has an ongoing tradition of winning and excellence, year after year, and 2009 looks to be no exception. A proven coaching staff, solid returning players and a bevy of talented newcomers look to come together to reach the high goals that have been set for the upcoming season. Now entering her fourth season as the head coach of the Lady Buffs, Krista Gerlich has continued WT’s tradition of excellence in women’s basketball. She has compiled a three-year won-loss record of 82-16 (.837 win percentage), and NCAA postseason berths every season. Gerlich’s commitment extends off the court the Lady Buffs’ success has carried into the classroom, as well. The 2008-09 season saw the Lady Buffs record a 28-6 overall record, capturing their second-consecutive LSC championship, an NCAA South Central regional championship, and the first NCAA Elite Eight tourna-

ment in twelve seasons. Individual honors went to Emily Brister, who added to her All-America honors by being named to the State Farm/WBCA All-America first team. She was also named the South Central Regional player of the year among other accolades. Courtney Lee was selected as the LSC South defensive player of the year and Joni Unruh was selected as an all-LSC honorable mention, to name only a few of the many honors received. Only six players from last year return to the hardwood for the 2009-10 season, including the only four-year Lady Buff senior, Holly Isaacs (Guard, Brownfield, Texas). She led the team in three-pointers made with 56 treys in 131 attempts for a shooting percentage of .427 from behind the arc. Also returning to the court as a senior is Ceciley Johnson (Center, Berkeley, Calif.), who filled a gap last season at the post position. The returning junior class is comprised of starting guard Joni Unruh (Amarillo, Texas) and Megan McLain (Guard, Channing, Texas). Unruh returns as the leading scorer and rebounder for the Lady Buffs. The returning sophomore class consists of Ashley Leven (Forward, Amarillo, Texas) and Michelle Brister (Guard, Amarillo, Texas). Leven saw significant time last season and led the Lady Buffs in blocks with 36. The 2009-10 roster features a host of new faces from a wide variety of basketball backgrounds, including three Division I transfers. Maddy Brown (Sr., 5-11, Guard/Forward, Honeoye, NY) transferred to WT from Texas Tech after spending two seasons with the Lady Raider program. Cara Lambert (Jr., 6-2, Center, Broomfield, Colo.) joins the Lady Buffs after a two-year stint at Idaho State. The third D-I transfer comes to Canyon after spending one season at Central Arkansas, Aly Sherman (So., 5-10, Guard/Forward, Mt. Vernon, Texas). Jamie Simmons (So., 6-0, Forward, Houston, Texas) rounds out the transfer class, coming from Trinity Valley Community College.

The incoming freshman class looks to be equally as impressive and features some local talent. Callie Schniederjan (5-6, Dalhart, Texas), Brittany Williams (5-8, Sudan, Texas), and Ariel Robertson (5-10, Cedar Hill, Texas) all join the Lady Buffs at the guard position. Increasing depth at the forward position is Megan Janousek (5-10, The Woodlands, Texas). The Lady Buffs open their season on Sunday, November 15, in Canyon, Texas, when they face Incarnate Word. Tipoff is set for 2:00 p.m. The Lady Buffs will then hit the road, traveling to Pueblo, Colo., for the Al Kaly Classic tournament before they return to the First United Bank Center on November 27 and 28, when they host the WT Thanksgiving Classic tournament.

Krista Gerlich Head Coach Fourth season Texas Tech ‘93

Now in her fourth season as head coach of the Lady Buffs, Krista Gerlich has continued West Texas A&M’s tradition of excellence in women’s basketball. Having compiled a three-year won-lost mark of 82-16, equally as impressive are the honors her teams have earned in the classroom. The Lady Buffs thrived under Gerlich in the 2008-09 season as the team recorded a 28-6 season record. The postseason saw WT earn their fourth-consecutive LSC South Division title and their second-consecutive LSC Tournament Championship. The Lady Buffs found themselves competing in their fifth-consecutive NCAA South Central Regional tournament appearance, beating Central Oklahoma in the finals for the team’s first NCAA Elite Eight berth in 11 seasons. Despite a career-ending knee injury, Emily Brister represented the team well once again in postseason honors, earning WBCA/State Farm first team All-America selection for the first team in her career, along with countless other accolades. 2007-08 saw the Gerlich-coached Lady Buffs record a 26-5 season record, capture a third-consecutive LSC South Division title, earn the LSC Tournament Championship and make a fourth-consecutive NCAA South Central Regional appearance. Individually, the Lady Buffs were well-represented in post-season honors, with Emily Brister earning Daktronics all-Region Player of the Year, as well as Daktronics all-America, LSC South Division Player of the Year, LSC Tournament MVP, LSC Female Athlete of the Year as well as earning the inaugural Fred Jacoby Academic Athlete of the Year award. Courtney Lee was selected as the LSC South Division Defensive Player of the Year. Dedicated to the classroom as well as the basketball court, Gerlich’s 2007-08 team was recognized by the WBCA with Academic Top 25 Team Honor Roll recognition, ranking fifth among all Division II programs with a 3.55 grade point average. Gerlich took over the WT program just prior to the start of the 2006-2007 season and immediately made an impact. In just her first season as a head coach at the collegiate level, she led the Lady Buffs to an overall record of 28-5 and a perfect 14-0 record in LSC league play and was named Coach of the Year in the LSC South Division. In addition to the team’s accomplishments, the Lady Buffs earned numerous individual awards: six LSC South Awards - including the South Division Player of the Year - six LSC academic awards, the All-Region Player of the Year award, the All-LSC Female Athlete of the Year award, an Honorable Mention All-America (by the WBCA) honoree, and one first team All-America honoree by Daktronics, as voted on by the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA). The Lady Buffs were recognized for their efforts in the classroom, as well. Two garnered Arthur Ashe, Jr. Sports Scholar accolades and the team was ranked 18th nationally in the 2006-2007 WBCA Academic Top 25 Team Honor Roll for Division II with a collective GPA of 3.355. Prior to joining West Texas A&M, Gerlich spent three seasons with another highly successful West Texas women’s basketball program, serving as an assistant to Hall of Fame coach Marsha Sharp at Texas Tech. During her time in Lubbock, Gerlich helped guide the Lady Raiders to two NCAA tournament appearances, including a 24-8 overall record, a 12-4 Big 12 mark and a spot in the Sweet

16 during the 2004-2005 campaign. While on the Tech bench, Gerlich was heavily involved in almost every aspect of the program as she instructed preseason individual workouts, coached the perimeter players, reviewed film and handled game day preparations for the Lady Raiders. Throughout the school year she also assisted in the academic progress of the Lady Raider student-athletes. Before returning to coaching with Texas Tech during the 2003-2004 season, Gerlich took some time off to start a family; she spent the 2002-2003 year teaching math at Hereford High School, where her husband, Bryan, was the athletic director and head football coach. After graduating from Texas Tech in 1993 with a degree in exercise and sports science, Gerlich got her first coaching job at Lockney High School as the head girls’ basketball coach. From 1994-1997, she was the head girls’ coach at Taft High School in San Antonio, Texas. Gerlich entered the college ranks as an assistant at the University of Texas at San Antonio from 1997-1999, where she served as the number one assistant and recruiting coordinator. Gerlich followed her position at UTSA by accepting the head coaching job at San Antonio Reagan High School from 1999-2000. In the inaugural season at Reagan, the team posted a 20-5 mark. Before her stint at Hereford, Gerlich was a math teacher at Tahoka High School from 2000-2002 where husband was the athletic director and head football coach. Gerlich received her master’s degree in educational administration in 1997 from Texas A&M-Kingsville. During a stellar playing career at Texas Tech, Gerlich played shooting guard from 1989-1993 and helped guide the squad to the 1993 National Championship while picking up All-Southwest Conference honors three times. She also was named to the 1993 SWC All-Tournament team, the 1993 West Regional All-Tournament team and the 1993 Final Four All-Tournament team. Gerlich was selected to the All-Time SWC team, while being named one of the Panhandle’s Top 100 Athletes of the Century. During her senior campaign, she became Tech’s all-time assist leader by finishing with 553 assists, which now ranks third all-time in program history. In 1993, she was named the NCAA Texas Woman of the Year. On Dec. 5, 1993, Gerlich’s number 21 was retired and now hangs in the rafters at the United Spirit Arena, making her one of just three Lady Raiders to have her number retired. The Spearman, Texas, native was a three time all-state selection in basketball while attending Sudan (Texas)

the lone star conference Long known as a leader in intercollegiate athletics, the Lone Star Conference (LSC) is an innovative athletics conference which aims to provide a superior competitive experience for member institutions and to allow for comprehensive development of student-athletes through academic services and life skills programming. The LSC continues to build upon its proud history while developing into one of NCAA Division II’s most successful conferences. The league’s mission is to foster student participation and success among member institutions in Division II intercollegiate athletics as an integral part of each institution’s total educational program. The LSC pursues studentathlete development with highest regard to the principles of academic excellence, sportsmanship, ethical conduct, resourcefulness, community service, gender equity, and diversity. The LSC - founded on April 25, 1931 - has grown from a five-team conference of Texas-based schools to a 15-member league that spans three states (Texas, Oklahoma and New Mexico). The conference will expand in July 2010 with the addition of the University of Incarnate Word. The league continues to assist its member institutions in the maintenance of intercollegiate athletic programs that are compatible with the highest standards of education and competitive sports. Throughout the league’s 78-year history, various institutions have competed under the LSC banner. Today, only Texas A&M University-Commerce (then East Texas State) remains from the original group that was formed in 1931 when North Texas State, Southwest Texas State, Sam Houston State and Stephen F. Austin withdrew from the old Texas Intercollegiate Athletic Association. The membership alignment has changed over the years, with current members having been added in each of the past five decades. Texas A&M-Kingsville (formerly Texas A&I) joined in 1954, followed by Angelo State in 1968 and Abilene Christian in 1973.

Conference membership remained within the Texas borders until 1984 when Eastern New Mexico was admitted. Since then, the LSC has grown to include members from Arkansas and Oklahoma.

LSC North Preseason Player of the Year Destiny Brown - Southeastern Oklahoma

Central Oklahoma (1987) and Cameron (1988, 1996) were the next additions in the LSC’s expansion phase, while Texas Woman’s (1989) and previous members West Texas A&M (1986, 1993) and Tarleton State (1968, 1994) joined the league soon after.

LSC South Preseason Player of the Year Jamie Meyer - Abilene Christian

Midwestern State was admitted early in 1995, and the league grew again later that year with the acceptance of four more Oklahoma schools - East Central, Northeastern State, Southeastern Oklahoma and Southwestern Oklahoma - along with Harding and Ouachita Baptist from Arkansas.

LSC Basketball Titles

That brought the league membership to 17, but Harding and OBU departed the conference after the 1999-2000 academic year to bring about the LSC’s current look. Other past members of the LSC include Trinity, Houston, Lamar, Howard Payne, Sul Ross State and McMurry. Beginning with the 1997-98 academic year, the league was formed into two divisions - North and South - in football, volleyball, basketball, baseball and softball. Divisional champions are crowned according to results among division teams, with an overall league champion also being decided either by crossover games or a postseason championship tournament. For the third straight season, volleyball and baseball will play without divisions, utilizing a single conference standing to determine the regular-season champion and postseason seedings. While the LSC has maintained a long-standing tradition of competitive athletic programs for its members, many teams and individuals have gone on to distinguish themselves on the national stage. Entering 2009-10, LSC member institutions had collected more than 100 team national championships, including 71 in NCAA Division II. The LSC conducts conference championships in 16 sports (eight men and eight women). Men’s championships include football, soccer, cross country, basketball, baseball, track and field, tennis and golf. Women’s titles are determined in volleyball, soccer, cross country, basketball, softball, track and field, tennis and golf. The conference office is located in Richardson, Texas, a northern suburb of Dallas. Stan Wagnon serves as Commissioner, with assistance from Jay Poerner (Compliance) and Melanie Robotham (Media Relations).

all-american Emily Brister The most decorated player to grace the WT hardwoods, Emily Brister made a deep mark in the history of women’s basketball at West Texas A&M University. Her four years were highlighted with countless awards, honors, recognitions, and records. There isn’t a Lone Star Conference basketball award that she hasn’t won, being named LSC South Player of the Year three times and LSC Female Athlete of the Year four times. On a regional level, she was the Daktronics South Central Region Player of the Year three times. Academically, Brister excelled in the classroom and her awards stacked up to prove it. She was the LSC South Academic Player of the Year three times and was a two-time CoSIDA/ESPN The Magazine Academic AllDistrict first team selection, and was also a DII Regional Scholar-Athlete of the Year. As a senior, she was named the CoSIDA/ESPN The Magazine Academic All-America of the Year.

Only a quick glance would reveal the name Emily Brister written throughout the WT record books in various game, season, and career categories. As a junior, Brister became the all-time leading career scorer in Lady Buff history and was the first player, male or female, to break 2,000 points. She finished her career with 2,625 points, just 125 shy of the Lone Star Conference record. For Brister, the recognition was secondary to the success of her team. In her career, she led the Lady Buffs to four LSC South Division titles, three Lone Star Conference titles, four NCAA South Central Regional appearances and an NCAA Elite Eight berth. Though sidelined with a career-ending injury at the end of her senior season, Brister continued to lead the team from the bench as her teammates rallied to continue the season without her on the court with the #14 written on their shoes. There is no doubt that the name Emily Brister will not soon be forgotten in the Lone Star Conference.

This is WTamu West Texas A&M University provides a major university experience without the big college hassles and expense.

In March 1909, Texas Governor Tom Campbell signed a bill establishing West Texas Normal College. Today, that one-building school with just a handful of students is celebrating its Centennial and marking 100 years of growth and success. The University’s tree-lined main campus now covers 135-acres in Canyon, Texas, and a new WTAMU Amarillo Center is located at the Chase Tower in nearby Amarillo.

WTAMU has come a long way during its 100-year history. Today’s students enjoy state-of-the-art academic facilities; friendly and safe residence halls, a student center complete with fast-food court, convenience store, bookstore and post office; a dining hall and recreational facilities, including a swimming pool and bowling alley and various fine arts venues. The University’s First United Bank Center provides a first-class venue for concerts and athletic events, and Kimbrough Memorial Stadium, home of the playoff-tested Buffalo football team, is just a short drive away. Nearby Palo Duro Canyon, second in size only to Arizona’s Grand Canyon, remains a favorite escape for camping, hiking and other outdoor activities, and Amarillo, just 15 miles to the north, offers metropolitan opportunities. WTAMU, a member of The Texas A&M University System since 1990, boasts an enrollment of more than 7,500 students from 35 states and 30 countries. The historic campus contains brick and mortar dating back to the early 1900s but offers a modern appeal with more than $95 million in capital improvements during the past 10 years. The campus, a haven for academic pursuits, is a perfect place to take a stroll or have a leisurely picnic. The Pedestrian Mall, the centerpiece of the campus, features an impressive marble buffalo sculpture, fountain and clock tower. The University also is home to the Panhandle-Plains Historical Museum, the largest historical museum in the state of Texas.

Canyon & Amarillo, Texas The City of Canyon, with a population in excess of 13,000, was founded on Christmas Day 1887 by Lincoln Guy Conner, a cattle rancher who bought the land from the State of Texas for $3 per acre. He was too modest to name the town after himself, and Canyon City was named after the nearby Palo Duro Canyon. In 1910 the name was changed to Canyon.

the Amarillo Visitor Information Center. The Amarillo National Center hosts various rodeos and horse and livestock events, and is located at the Tri-State Fairgrounds, host to the Tri-State Fair held every September. Wonderland Park is the largest amusement park between Dallas and Denver, and Splash Amarillo provides a cool, water-filled experience for those hot summer days.

Canyon is home to West Texas A&M University, which is the single-largest employer in Randall County. The city prides itself as a close-knit community that combines a progressive attitude with small town friendliness and charm.

Culturally the city has the Amarillo Symphony, Amarillo Opera, Lone Star Ballet, Amarillo Little Theatre, which has existed for more than 75 years, Civic Amarillo, which brings concerts and Broadway shows to town, and “Lone Star Rising,” an outdoor musical drama at Lake Meredith’s Fritch Fortress, north of Amarillo.

Palo Duro Canyon State Park, second largest canyon in the United States behind the Grand Canyon, contains more than 18,000 acres and is 120 miles long and 20 miles wide and is just 10 miles east of Canyon. Hiking, overnight camping and some of the most breathtaking scenery in the world is available. The canyon is also host to “Texas” which premiered in 2003 and is produced by the Texas Panhandle Heritage Foundation. The outdoor musical drama takes place at the Palo Duro Canyon Amphitheater.

Amarillo is the transportation hub of the Texas Panhandle with the two interstate highways (I-40 east and west and I-27 north and south). Rick Husband International Airport, named after the Amarillo native commander of the ill-fated Columbia shuttle that crashed in Feb. 2003, is served by Southwest, American Eagle, Great Lakes, Continental Express, and Atlantic

The Panhandle-Plains Historical Museum is located on the WTAMU Campus and is Texas’ largest history museum. It was founded in 1937 and houses more than 3 million artifacts. It features exhibits on petroleum, western heritage, paleontology, textiles, transportation, and fine art. Amarillo, 17 miles north on Interstate 27, has a population of more than 173,000. It was first settled in 1887, and its name is taken from the Spanishlanguage for the word “yellow” because of the color of the sub-soil in the channel of the Amarillo Creek. Amarillo is home to the Amarillo Gorillas of the independent Central Hockey League, the Amarillo Dusters of the Arena Football League 2 and the Amarillo Dillas of the United League. It is also home to the American Quarter Horse Association and the AQHA Heritage Center and Museum. Route 66 Motor Speedway features races throughout the year and eccentric millionaire Stanley Marsh, III, has buried Cadillacs into the ground west of Amarillo for his “Cadillac Ranch.” The Harrington Medical Center is home to some of the finest and most innovative medical facilities in the country. The Amarillo Civic Center underwent a renovation in 2003, adding more meeting rooms and exhibit space, which now totals 98,000 square feet. It houses a 5,000-seat coliseum, a 2,300-seat auditorium, and

Albuquerque is four hours west and Oklahoma City is four hours east on I-40. The Canyon-Amarillo area receives an average annual rainfall of 19.1 inches. It has a mild climate with four distinct seasons. There are 156.2 clear and 104.8 partly cloudy days annually, and the average annual temperature is 57.2 degrees.

NCAA Division II Pick a number of college sports fans and ask them what it means to be an NCAA Division I, II or III member. Most of them probably will say that Division I is “big,” Division II is “midsize” and Division III is “small.” There is some truth in the observations, but what makes Division II special has more to do with philosophy than with size. Here are features that make Division II athletics unique: Division II student-athletes generally come from the area in which their institution is located. They are effectively integrated with the overall student body. Many Division II coaches and administrators perform other jobs or functions at their institutions, including teaching. Most Division II student-athletes pay for school through a combination of scholarship money, grants, student loans and employment earnings. Teams are encouraged to play other teams from their region, thus reducing expense and missed class time. Division II brings its “A” game in the way it balances academics and athletics. Division II provides an excellent environment for studentathletes. It maintains a highly inclusive structure for studentathletes in NCAA governance matters: The annual summit between the Division II Student-Athlete Advisory Committee and the Division II Management Council serves as a model for athlete-administrator communication. Division II also benefits student-athletes by having the most opportunities per capita to compete in national championships.

The number of national championships in Division II is about the same as Divisions I and III. For 2006-07, Division II national championship competition will be offered in the following sports: National championship opportunities are comparable to those in Division I and III. Since 2003-04, National Championship competition will be offered in the following sports

Men

Women

Baseball Basketball Cross Country Football Golf Lacrosse Soccer Swimming and Diving Tennis Indoor Track Outdoor Track Wrestling

Basketball Cross Country Field Hockey Golf Lacrosse Rowing Soccer Softball Swimming and Diving Tennis Indoor Track Outdoor Track Volleyball

Academics Division II has adopted legislation and created programs to better ensure that student-athletes acquire quality educations and graduate.

Many Division II student-athletes have gone on to outstanding careers, both inside and outside athletics. That list includes the following Athlete Professional Alma Mater Accomplishment Larry Allen Rick Barnes Steve Bedrosian Manute Bol Brett Butler Lloyd Carr Maurice Cheeks Jim Crane Mike DeJean Christine Donovan Mike Eischeid Darrell Green Nick Harper Al Harris Sylvia Hatchell Dave and Jim Hazewinkel Doris Brown Heritage Mickisha Hurley Tom Izzo Greg Jamison Lee Janzen Billie Jean King Matt Knoll Duane Koslowski Don Lauri Patrick Leahy Fred Lewis Earl Lloyd Ed Malloy Rob McKee Rocco Mediate Jim Nichols Earl Monroe Billy Olson Donna Orender Tyrone Poole Louise Ritter Crystal Robinson Dennis Rodman Howard Schultz Jeanne Shaheen Henry Simmons David Sokol Rod Smith Rick Tarrant Keith Traylor Gene Upshaw LaVonda Wagner Ben Wallace

The first change mandated that Division II studentathletes be required to attain a 1.800 grade-point average after earning 24 credit hours, a 1.900 GPA after earning 48 hours and a 2.000 GPA after earning 72 hours and thereafter. The second change required that student-athletes must have earned at least six credit hours from the previous term. That new rule helped ensure that transfer studentathletes were legitimate students during the previous term and that enrolled student-athletes are progressing toward a degree semester-by-semester. Division II also has initiated a new measure of academic performance through creation of the Academic Success Rate. The new measure will provide graduation-rate data on all Division II student-athletes, including transfers and those not receiving athletically related financial aid. Two pilot studies using the new measure produced a graduation rate about 10 percent higher than what was measured through federal government methodology. Also, at its April 2006 meeting, the Division II Presidents Council (along with the Division I Board of Directors) approved a proposal that defines the role of the NCAA Initial-Eligibility Clearinghouse in validating the information on which the initial academic eligibility of a student-athlete is based. The action was taken after a series of newspaper articles revealed the existence of “diploma mills” that some prospective student-athletes were using to inappropriately enhance their academic records. Division II also has established a Degree-Completion Grant Program to assist student-athletes who are just short of completing their degree but whose athletics eligibility has expired.

O’Brien is a member of the NCAA D-II Presidents Council. Locally, he serves as the co-chair for the United Way Campaign of Amarillo/Canyon and on the boards of the Northwest Texas Healthcare System and the Ascension Academy Community Advisory Consortium.

O’Brien received outstanding faculty awards at UAF and Loyola New Orleans and is active in civic and professional organizations.

In his spare time, he enjoys fishing, golf, amateur astronomy and reading. The O’Briens have two adult sons and three grandchildren.

A native of Tennessee, O’Brien earned baccalaureate (economics) and master’s (agricultural economics) degrees from Auburn University in 1967 and 1969, respectively. He received his Ph.D. in economics with areas of specialization in monetary economics, public finance and regional economics from Oklahoma State University in 1977. O’Brien started his career in academia as an instructor at OSU before accepting positions as an assistant professor of economics at Bowling Green State University (1974-1977) and then at the University of Alaska Fairbanks.
