POORE'S COACHING IS WORTH NOTING Publication: CHARLESTON DAILY MAIL Published: Friday, February 29, 2008 Byline: BY JACK BOGACZYK DAILY MAIL SPORTS EDITOR THERE was a time before snow fell when the basketball fortunes at West Virginia State seemed to need the same kind of repair a valued knee did. Because of Bryan Poore, it didn't stay that way. He was the West Virginia Conference Coach of the Year in 2003-04, when the Winfield native took his alma mater to a 25-7 record and State's first NCAA regional berth. Really, he's done a better coaching job this season, which has produced another 20 wins and another WVC Tournament semifinal appearance. That couldn't have been expected three months ago. This suddenly wasn't a third-place WVC team, one game in the standings behind regular-season champ Pitt Johnstown and Alderson-Broaddus. It had to learn how to become that. Poore had a deep, veteran, athletic 2007-08 team, albeit one of mostly role players. Then, there was senior All-America guard Ted Scott, at 27.0 points per game the leading scorer in NCAA Division II last winter. Scott badly tore right knee ligaments the first weekend of the season (with 31- and 27-point efforts) and was lost for the year. A month into Poore's ninth season on the State sideline, a program that was 53-14 in the previous two seasons was only 4-6 at the Christmas break ... and searching for much more than Scott-free scoring. As Scott underwent reconstructive surgery and began making an NCAA hardship bid to return next season, Poore sutured, too. After back-to-back WVC Tournament titles, he began to coax as much as coach. He was like a mechanic in a sport he loves, stock car racing (his partiality is to Jeff Gordon). Poore was like most of the NASCAR teams these days. He was handed the State basketball Car of Tomorrow, and he had to figure out the new setup. "He didn't want to mess with the chemistry, but he asked guys to play some roles and bring to their games things they hadn't before," State assistant coach Cornelius Jackson said of Poore. "He asked them to do stuff they probably hadn't even thought of doing." With Scott as a patient, the Jackets' 43-year-old coach was more about patience. It took a lot of that in a Thursday night quarterfinal at the Charleston Civic Center, as State (20-9) outlasted Fairmont State 97-90 in the first doubleovertime WVC tourney game since 2000. The win sent the Yellow Jackets into tonight's 6:30 semifinal against A-B. State's season took a second painful turn when starting point guard Jason Slay was injured in a car accident on I-64 in Charleston over Thanksgiving weekend. He suffered a concussion and missed four games. Another senior out. A veteran backcourt changed. Poore then really had to find out more about his team than he had planned. A prime example of what occurred is in the game of 5-foot-9 guard Perrick "Moon" Robinson. The senior Division I transfer (Bowling Green) replaced Slay as the starter at the point, and the Chicagoan went from wild to almost wonderful. A week ago, he had a WVC-record 22 assists against Bluefield State. Robinson had 14 assists and 10 points in State's second OT win over the Falcons this season, and his mad dash for a buzzer-beating layup at the end of regulation gave the Jackets another of the nine-lives moments they've needed through the season. It was the kind of gutsy play neither he nor any of State's players besides Scott might have made back in November. They didn't know how to do that. They didn't have to do it. Poore's club overcame 23 turnovers against Fairmont because it has more playmakers than most WVC teams. Those performers would have been role or bit players had Scott not spent most of the winter rehabbing for 2008-09 on a stationary bike or in a swimming pool. The Jackets are 117-40 in the last five seasons. State has won at least 20 games in four of the last five seasons. The one it didn't get there was a 19-10 finish. This time, Poore took different parts and pounded them together. Some would have said figuring State for 20 wins without Scott meant you had a loose screw. Those people discounted that the guy with the wrench in his hand was Poore.

POORE SYSTEM WORKS WELL AT W.VA. STATE Publication: THE CHARLESTON GAZETTE Published: 01/21/2006 Byline: MIKE WHITEFORD ON THE LONG bus ride from Wheeling to Institute Monday night, Bryan Poore vacated his customary seat up front. Poore's West Virginia State basketball team had just suffered a 90-75 loss at Wheeling Jesuit - its first West Virginia Conference defeat of the season - and Poore needed to talk. But he didn't talk basketball. The second semester was to begin the next day, and the coach wanted to make a last-minute academic check, review each of his players' class schedules and address any school-related subjects that needed to be addressed. As the bus headed south, Poore kept moving, stopping to sit, talk and listen. On the bus ride to Wheeling earlier that day, he sat with a player who had been playing poorly, delivered some keep-your-chin -up counsel and offered possible solutions to his on-court shortcomings. One-on-one player chats, whether on the bus, on the court or in his office or home are an essential and on-going element in Poore's coaching. Like any good coach, he knows that communication brings understanding, trust and discipline and, once those intangibles are in place, he can do some real coaching. "In basketball," he said, sitting in his Fleming Hall office, "if you can get your guys to play together and play hard, you're going to win a lot of games. You can put in whatever system you want pressing, zoning, man-to-man, shooting 3s, going inside - but if you get them to play hard and play together, you're going to win a lot of games." He was especially pleased that his team played with nearflawless togetherness, particularly in the first half, of a 92-67 victory over Elizabeth City (N.C.) State in November. It may have been the best half, he said, that any of his teams had played in his seven seasons as Yellow Jackets coach. In a decisive 76-66 victory over the University of Charleston Jan. 12, the Jackets again demonstrated the team play that Poore and countless other coaches are constantly preaching. The players occasionally drifted away from sound fundamentals in that game, but Poore understood. Now that he's surrounded himself with players of character and talent, the Winfield native and West Virginia State alumnus can appreciate their basketball efficiency and simply enjoy their presence. They arrive early for practice, often before the coaches arrive, and begin their stretching and jogging exercises and opening drills without the prodding of coaches. "We get our minds ready to practice," said guard Chris Dunn, a senior from Columbus, Ohio. The Yellow Jackets were ranked as high as No. 10 in the NCAA Division II poll this season - the team's best since joining Division II 10 years ago - and are a reasonably good bet to earn one of five at-large postseason tournament berths available to the 44 teams in the East Region, which consists of West Virginia, Virginia and the Carolinas. A championship of the WVC tournament would give them an automatic NCAA tournament entry. This year's success follows a two-year run that includes a WVC championship and NCAA tournament berth in 2003-04 and a third-place WVC finish last year. Turning the corner In his first few years at State, many of his Yellow Jackets were not nearly as punctual as his present group. Getting them to arrive dressed and ready for practice on time was a nice achievement in itself, let alone an early arrival and an early start to practice, with or without the coaching staff. He remembers some high-character players on those teams, but there were too many exceptions.

In the 2001-02 season, disciplinary problems arose, forcing Poore to either suspend or eliminate many of his wayward souls. Injuries compounded the problems but, rather than compromise his principals, Poore played a game at Concord that year with just seven players in uniform, including one who scarcely qualified as a college player. Even though the Yellow Jackets finished 9-18 that season, Poore's actions sent a message, telling the players that certain standards would be maintained. "The ones who stuck with me and were in my corner believed in me," said Poore, "and believed in the system. That kind of bled over to the ones who joined the team after that." Poore, a former Marshall and University of Charleston assistant coach, knew that basketball must be fun for both him and his players and it would not be fun unless his players complied with his wishes. "I looked at myself and said, 'It's got to be this way or I'm going to do something else,"' he recalled. "I knew what I wanted, on the court and off the court." Things began to improve the following year when the recruiting class included Dunn and Mike Brown, both of Columbus, Ohio, and Dermayne Bullock of Oak Hill, who are now seniors and key figures on the current Yellow Jacket team that is 5-1 in the WVC and 13-3 overall. Dunn, a first-team All-WVC selection last year, ranks among the Division II leaders in assists at 7.6 a game, and Brown leads the conference in shooting percentage at 68.2 (58-for-85). In their first season at Institute, those players learned from upperclassmen such as Mike Taylor and Ron Donaldson, but mostly they learned from Poore. "We just have respect for him," said Brown, a 6-foot-3 forward. "When he's talking to us, we look right at him. Our eyes are not wandering around. We've all bought into him." They also listen to his emphasis on academics. Of the 18 players who exhausted their basketball eligibility during Poore's tenure, 13 have graduated. Two of the five who did not were players he inherited. Three of his other recruits who have used up their eligibility are working toward their degrees. Listening to the players Finding players who meet his standards for character and talent is sometimes a risky venture. For one thing, he seeks out the choicest Division II players available players who are borderline Division I and thus in contention for either Division I scholarships or Division I walk-on opportunities. To acquire those players, Poore must be patient, gambling that they will still be available late in the recruiting process. Before committing to a player, the coach first enlists the help of his current players. They visit with the prospective Yellow Jacket, take him on a campus tour and maybe play some pickup ball with him. After that, Poore consults with them and gets their opinion: Can he play for us and will his personality mesh with the team's? "I listen to my kids," he said. "A lot of times, those kids have a very good opinion of the person as a player and as a kid." Although he loses four seniors after this season, two of his current captains, junior Tony Cornett of Columbus and sophomore Jason Slay of Beckley, will return. His two leading scorers, sophomore Ted Scott of Columbus at 16.9 and Cornett at 14.9, are underclassmen. In December, Scott earned honors as the NCAA Division II Player of the Month. Junior Anton Duncan of Benton Harbor, Mich., averages 9.7 points and 5.5 rebounds. And the team's success, said Poore, seems to be facilitating the recruiting process. He even thinks that Fleming Hall, a structure that opened in the 1940s, lends an atmosphere that promotes winning. An 85-79 season-opening loss to Wayne State of Detroit was the Jackets' first at home in more than three seasons. Three weeks later, incidentally, the Jackets avenged that loss with a 7552 victory over Wayne State in Detroit. It made for another nice bus ride home.

Coach Slay is in his third year on the staff. He is a former player for Head Coach Bryan Poore, where he was a four year letterman, four year captain, and two year starter. The Beckley, WV native played on two WVIAC Tournament Championship teams , two NCAA East Regional Semi-Finalists, and was a redshirt during the regular season championship team of 2003-04. He graduated from Beckley Woodrow Wilson High School where he was a three year letterman on the football and basketball teams. Jason graduated in December, 2008, with a Regents Bachelors Degree.

Coach Greene returned to the WVSU program last season and will be in his seventh season overall on the Yellow Jacket bench this year. A former WVSU player Matt graduated in 2004 with his Bachelors in Education and has since earned his Masters Degree in Leadership Studies from Marshall University. Matt played his high school ball at George Washington in Charleston, WV, from where he graduated in 1998.

Shane Maynard joins the West Virginia State University Basketball Staff as a volunteer assistant for the 2010-11. He was a three year all conference performer at West Liberty State University. He is originally from Beckley, WV where he was on three year letterman for Woodrow Wilson High School.

Publication: THE CHARLESTON DAILY MAIL Published: Tuesday, March 02, 2004 Page: P1B Byline: ANDY SPRADLING DAILY MAIL SPORTSWRITER The West Virginia State Yellow Jackets missed sweeps month by a couple of days, but they didn't miss the sweep. After clinching the West Virginia Conference regular-season basketball title, State (22-5) swept the year-end awards. Coach Bryan Poore, senior guard Mike Taylor and freshman forward Tony Cornett were awarded Coach of the Year, Player of the Year and Freshman of the Year, respectively.

got to beat the people you're supposed to beat. "I thought we had a chance to win the league, but everything still has to fall into place, you have to keep everybody away from injury, you've got to keep the guys together and you've got to win on the road." Poore pointed out the turning point in the season, at Wheeling on Jan. 19. Down 13 to 15 points, Taylor took over the game, hitting 8-of-10 3pointers for 35 points - and a win. "He carried us to that win," Poore said.

"We're feeling pretty good," Poore said Monday. "You have that emotion of winning (awards) and winning the championship, but then you come back down to earth pretty quickly when you hear you have to play WVU Tech or Fairmont in the tournament." The Yellow Jackets have a first-round bye in the WVC tourney, which begins tonight at oncampus sites, but must be ready to go at 6:30 p.m. Thursday at the Charleston Civic Center.

"From that point on we were a different team. They realized that they were never out of a game. You know sooner or later Taylor is going to get that shot going." There were other reasons Taylor, a 6-foot-2 Detroit native averaging 24.0 points per game this season, went from being a good shooter to a player of the year candidate.

Eighth-seeded Tech hosts No. 9 seed Fairmont State at 7:30 tonight in Montgomery, while No. 12 Bluefield State visits fifth-seeded Charleston at Eddie King Gym.

"When he got here he was a good shooter but he's worked and developed other parts of his game," Poore said. "Now he's a great shooter, he can draw the foul going to the bucket, he's a good defender and he's developed into a leader.

Having yet to advance past the quarterfinal round in the Poore era, the Yellow Jackets were at least able to relax a bit before getting back to business. "We didn't practice Sunday and went light (Monday)," Poore said. "This time of year it's good to let the body rest. We don't have anything serious, but we've got a few aches and pains." Looking back, Poore, 39, said he felt good about the upcoming season despite playing eight of nine non-conference games away from home.

"When the chips are on the line he's going to talk ... and they listen. At the end of the game, you know the ball is going to Taylor." Poore said the 6-5 Cornett is the catalyst of State's most improved area ... rebounding. "The intensity, emotion and energy he brings has bled over to the other players," Poore said.

Who made the schedule?

"His desire to want to rebound, to get that tough rebound when the game is on the line, that inspires our players. Those guys realize the importance of rebounding now.

"That would be me," Poore said, laughing.

"That's the biggest difference in this team from last year.

"I've always said I'm the worst scheduler in the country. Home games are difficult to get when you don't have a big budget, but we did what we had to do.

"We'd look at stats last year and teams were shooting five to 15 more shots than us a game. "Some of that was due to turnovers, but most of the times it was rebounds.

"You've got to win all your home games, which we did. You have to pull out some road games against your equals, which we did, and you've

"If you give away that many shots it makes a difference."

Publication: THE SUNDAY GAZETTE-MAIL Published: 03/05/2006 Byline: RICK RYAN All season long, one of the biggest questions in the West Virginia Conference centered on who was the better point guard - Shaun McKie of Salem International or Chris Dunn of West Virginia State. Dunn made his statement Saturday night. With the score tied in the final seconds, he drove past McKie and fed the ball to Anton Duncan, who floated in a 15-footer from the right baseline with 1.5 seconds left, giving the Yellow Jackets a 69-67 victory over Salem in the WVC tournament finals. An estimated crowd of 4,000 was on hand at the Civic Center. Dunn, fittingly, was selected as the tournament MVP. He had 13 points, six rebounds and four assists on Saturday. "That last play, that was all Chris Dunn," said State coach Bryan Poore. "I was thinking about calling a timeout with 16 seconds left. Salem is so strong and they pressure you so much that you can't get in your sets, you can't run plays. You have to have players who can make plays. "I started to call that timeout, but you've got Chris Dunn, he's a senior, he's led us to the tournament championship game. Just let him go. Worst-case scenario? You're going into overtime." It marks the first tournament title for West Virginia State since 1987 and gives the Yellow Jackets (26-6) the league's automatic berth into the NCAA Division II East Regional, which is expected to be held next week in Barton (N.C.). The WVC should get up to four teams in the regional - State, Salem, regularseason champion Alderson-Broaddus and Wheeling Jesuit. Tony Cornett led State with 20 points and sparked a second-half surge after the Yellow Jackets had fallen behind by 16 points in the first half. Duncan added 17 points for State, while McKie and Herman Davis led Salem (22-7) with 15 points apiece. Dunn, who was selected as the tournament's MVP, averaged 18 points, 6.8 rebounds and eight assists in State's four-game postseason run. That came on the heels of a triple-double (32 points, 12 rebounds, 10 assists) in his final regularseason game, a win against WVU Tech. The game featured eight lead changes in the final eight minutes. The Tigers tied the game at 67-all when Davis followed in a missed shot by McKie with 16.4 seconds to go. McKie seemed to have good defensive position on Dunn as the latter brought the ball up the floor, and appeared to have him trapped once he crossed halfcourt near the sideline. "Shaun McKie was playing good defense, pressuring me," Dunn said. "We were going against each other basically the whole fourth quarter. I just bumped him and he got knocked off balance a little bit and that gave me a driving lane. Their whole team collapsed on me and Anton Duncan was right there for the open 15-footer." Duncan watched the play unfold from the baseline and was ready if necessary.

"[Dunn] took all the defense," he said. "I just kept my knees bent and I just shot it. I knew I was going to have enough time to get it off." Duncan said he wasn't bothered by one of Salem's big men running at him as he took his game -winner. "No, I do that every day in practice," he said. State's Ted Scott said Duncan must have learned from the Saturday afternoon game of HORSE that he lost to assistant coach Corny Jackson. "The same spot he kept getting put out of [in HORSE] is the shot that won the game," Scott said. Dunn, who had a slow start shooting the ball, connected on a pair of 3-pointers in the final 5:28 that helped State make it all the way back. McKie, who was selected as the WVC player of the year, knew Dunn was capable of working his late-game magic. "Truthfully, I was just trying to stall him out [on the final play]," McKie said. "He's a right-handed guard and I wanted him to keep the ball in his left hand. Unfortunately, he drove left hard and got to the paint and kicked it to the guy for the open shot. "That's the talk of the whole conference - Shaun McKie and Chris Dunn. I don't really feel like it's a competitive thing or a bad thing. I think he's a good player. I don't try to go out there and outdo him. I just try to come out on top and help my teammates." Salem committed 11 of its 21 turnovers in the second half. "We ran into a lot of inconsistency at the end of the first half," said Salem coach Clark Maloney, "and that kind of carried over going into the second half. We did struggle to string some possessions together offensively and defensively. That last play pretty much summarized the entire game. They beat us with penetration and kicked out for the open shot." Maloney also pointed to State's offensive rebounding as a crucial factor. "They had more offensive rebounds [18] than defensive [16]," Maloney said. "They dominated us on the offensive glass." State fell behind by as many as 16 points in the first half, trailing 25-9 near the 10-minute mark before getting its offense cranked up. Duncan scored eight of his points before the break as the Yellow Jackets sliced their deficit to 37-31 at halftime. "Overcoaching," Poore said. "That caused the slow start. I didn't want them to get any early looks, any easy baskets out of our press, so we were in our regular fullcourt man-to-man and they were getting open looks. Our team feeds off when we're aggressive. That's why we don't play zone very well and that's why we started out not pressing and trapping. We started being aggressive to try and change. I was foolish. I've done that a couple times this year and didn't learn. The kids really battled back."

Publication: THE SUNDAY GAZETTE-MAIL Published: 03/04/2007 Byline: RICK RYAN Disaster didn't strike West Virginia State. Tony Cornett made sure of it. Ted Scott sank two free throws with 16 seconds left Saturday night, giving the Yellow Jackets an 80-79 victory over top-seeded AldersonBroaddus in the championship game of the West Virginia Conference men's tournament. Scott, a junior guard and the WVC player of the year, led both teams with 29 points despite having to sit out nine minutes of the first half with foul trouble. Cornett carried State in his absence and wound up flirting with a triple-double, racking up 24 points, 15 rebounds and eight assists. An estimated crowd of 3,500 was on hand at the Civic Center to watch No. 3 State (25-6) capture its second straight conference tournament title and earn an automatic bid to next week's NCAA Division II East regional. But it wasn't without its tense moments down the stretch. That's where Cornett came in. With the Yellow Jackets nursing a one-point lead against A-B (24-5), Cornett made a nifty spin move to the basket and dished the ball to Scott, who was alone under the basket. Scott, however, missed the point-blank layup and compounded the mistake by fouling on the rebound. A-B's Terrell Eargle netted both ends of a 1-and-1, shifting the lead back to the Battlers with 1:20 left. But Cornett, just as he'd done all night, came to the Jackets' rescue. Only this time, it was more subtle. Instead of his basketball skills, his leadership skills were put to the test. He made sure he got Scott's head back in the game. "Ted missed that clutch layup right down there," Cornett said, "but when he missed it, I said, 'Ted, you let that go right now. We're gonna get it back.' "He came down and hit two clutch free throws. I guarantee he's the player of the year. I don't care what nobody says. Because the player of the year takes his team to the championship, and that's what he did." With a little assist - OK, a big assist - from the versatile Cornett, a senior forward. Scott sat the final 8:02 of the first half after being whistled for his second personal foul on a charge, then was hit with a technical for arguing the call - his third foul. After Anthony Kyles made both free throws for the technical, the Battlers used the extra possession for a 3-pointer from Eargle and a 30-24 lead. But the Jackets not only survived Scott's absence, they thrived, thanks in large part to Cornett. In that final 8:02, Cornett donated three baskets and assisted on three others. Back-to-back Cornett feeds to James Helton for baskets in the last 1:06 put State on top 43-42 at halftime. "With Ted in foul trouble," Cornett said, "I had to take the team and put them on my shoulders." The second half was just as compelling, owing to seven more ties and 10 additional lead changes.

The Battlers were up by as many as seven points with less than six minutes remaining, but a late flurry by State regained the lead. A 3-pointer from Jason Slay narrowed A-B's advantage to 75-73 with four minutes left, then a 3 from Scott behind a Joe Benjamin screen put the Jackets back up by one. Cornett cleaned up a missed 3 by Scott, sticking home the rebound for a 78-75 edge with two minutes to go. Eargle, who finished with 14 points, brought the Battlers within a point by swishing two foul shots at the 1:53 mark. Then, after Scott blew his wide -open layup, Eargle's pair at the line shot A-B back in the lead. The teams then swapped misses - A-B's John Regula blocking Cornett's shot in the low post, then Regula misfired on a 3 and Scott rebounded for State, which trailed 79-78 with less than 30 seconds to go. Scott drove the ball hard to the hole and picked up a foul. He glanced the first one in off the back iron and, after a timeout, knocked the second down for a one-point lead with 16 seconds on the clock. The Jackets had to make two defensive plays to protect their edge. Cornett slapped the ball out of bounds under the A-B basket, giving the ball back to the Battlers with 4.9 seconds on the clock. Samario Clancy inbounded to Anthony Harper on the right wing, but his 3-pointer was off and Helton smothered the rebound to the floor, setting off a wild midcourt celebration by State fans. Moments after the win, Cornett locked State coach Bryan Poore in a bear hug, lifted him and carried him around the floor. "Coming into the tournament, we were on a mission," Cornett said. "Coach told us a couple times down the stretch that we've got to play a two -man game, inside out. We knew what we had to do coming down the stretch." Scott and Cornett combined to score 53 of State's 80 points, a repeat performance of Friday's 107-89 semifinal win against No. 2 seed West Liberty in which Scott (42) and Cornett (30) teamed up for 72 points. The powerful Cornett tried his best to wear A-B down with his play in the low post. The Battlers switched defenders much of the night, trying five different players in an effort to slow him down. In an 80-77 loss to Alderson-Broaddus in Institute during the regular season, Cornett was "held" to 17 points, seven rebounds and five assists. "We knew coming in that A-B was more than a quality team," Cornett said. "They're a great team. They've been here year after year. But this is our second year in a row [to win the title]." Stan Hall led A-B with 25 points, and nearly sparked his team to the championship. In the second half, Hall made all seven of his shots and both his free throws for 17 points.

Publication: CHARLESTON DAILY MAIL Published: Monday, February 16, 2009 Page: 1B Byline: JACK BOGACZYK SPORTS EDITOR WITH his current team, Bryan Poore is a rich man - and he knows it, and doesn't deny it. In the Winfield native's 10 years on the West Virginia State men's basketball bench, this is his deepest and best club ... even considering the Yellow Jackets were a gaudy 117-41 in the last five seasons before this one. That's in more than one man's opinion, too. "That's is the best State team I've seen since I've been here," eighth -year Alderson-Broaddus Coach Greg Zimmerman said Saturday night. "They're as good as anybody I've seen anywhere this season ... at least they were tonight." Zimmerman knows something about quality. His talented Battlers (20-3, 14-2) already have the Philippi school's eighth-straight 20-win season, but Saturday were humbled 104-91 by the Yellow Jackets at Fleming Hall in a West Virginia Conference top-of-standings showdown. State (19-4, 15-1) got its 13th straight victory, and it was the 200th of Poore's 11-year head coaching career that began with a 1995-96 debut season at the University of Charleston. If there were an irony to State's impressive performance against a WVC team that has become a real rival, it is that Poore's 200th win came against A-B, a club that has gone back-and-forth for conference success with State, and where Poore once worked as an assistant to Tex Williams in 1987-88. At State, Poore was only 36-47 in his first three seasons and won just one of his first eight games against A-B. Since 2004-05, however, the Jackets are 6-5 against the Battlers - a stretch that started with Poore's 100th career win, on Jan. 27, 2005. State and A-B have produced six of the last seven WVC Tournament titles and eight of the 12 NCAA regional bids for the league in the past five seasons. Nine of the last 15 games between them have come in the WVC or NCAA tournaments. The A-B coach called State senior Wade Picock, who came off the bench to hit five 3-pointers and score 19 points, "the X factor." His perimeter shooting gives opponents another headache besides State all-America guard Ted Scott. "They're so good at every spot; where's the weakness?" said Zimmerman, knowing the board-crashing Battlers are likely to see State deep in the upcoming WVC Tournament at the Charleston Civic Center. "They play hard; they're very hard to guard." Pidock only returned last week after missing almost six weeks while recovering from a broken jaw suffered in a holiday-break incident outside a

Charleston bar in which UC guard Anthony Anderson was arrested. "They've got Scott, who's going to get his points and inside (Ricky) Jackson is athletic and strong. (Darren) Jones is a point guard who not only looks to score, but can (and had 24 points in the win). He's like a two-guard with point skills, too. "Now, they add Pidock back ... wow! The thing is, if you go out and guard them on the perimeter, they can go by you. The big kids are all athletic. All of their ones, twos and threes can shoot the three. "That's just a very high level Division II team." Well, State is that everywhere except in the national and regional rankings - where overdue respect likely will arrive this week. A-B was No. 7 in the national coaches' poll when it came to Institute. State wasn't even getting a 25th-place vote from any of the sideline sages. The Jackets have a 15-point advantage in scoring margin in WVC games, and their only conference loss came Jan. 7 at sixth-place Shepherd, 77-73. Although Poore isn't one for excuses, he'd have more than one if he wanted. The Jackets played that game coming off a narrow win at a very tough environment at Bowie State, and were playing without starting swingman Kenny Carter, who took a Bowie elbow to the head and had a concussion, and the injured Pidock. Jones' scoring ability from the point takes some of the scoreboard load off Scott. Jackson, who played last season at Mountain State after two junior college seasons and two Division I signings that didn't work out, is an offensive presence inside. Poore has had solid point guard play before, most notably Chris Dunn (773 assists from 2002-06 rank 10th in NCAA Division II history), but no one who was so much like a combo guard as the diminutive - his 5-foot-9 listed height is a real stretch - Jones. Poore agreed that this is his best collection of talent "when we rebound and defend," the State coach said there's another factor at work. "I think right now it's the togetherness we have," Poore said. "We've got a lot of good players, and right now no one is pouting. We have guys who aren't getting to play a lot ... and they'd like to play more, but they still work hard. "When you get that, it's easier to have success. When you have a couple of sulkers, it's not so easy. This team really gets along." He said that on Valentine's Day.

Publication: THE SUNDAY GAZETTE-MAIL Published: Sunday, March 07, 2010Page: 1D Byline: MIKE WHITEFORD STAFF WRITER Within 35 seconds of the opening tip, each team already had a basket. From there, things continued on the offensive upswing, most notably from 3-point distance, and in the final seconds West Virginia State found a way. Down by a point with 13 seconds left, State delivered the ball to senior Darren Jones, who responded with an acrobatic drive through the West Liberty defense for the game-winning layup with three seconds left, giving the Yellow Jackets an entertaining 108-107 victory over the Hilltoppers Saturday night in the West Virginia Conference tournament men's championship game at the Charleston Civic Center. A pro-State crowd of about 3,500 attended. It was the highest-scoring championship game in tournament history. It was also the second time that State defeated WL this season, and each was decided by a point. "What a great college basketball game," said State coach Bryan Poore. "You can sit at home and watch ESPN, and you're not going to find a better game than this one. There's no way. Duke and Carolina are playing tonight. It's not better than this game." Both teams will now advance to NCAA Division II play in the eight-team Atlantic Region tournament at a site to be announced. Less than a minute before Jones' heroic score, No. 2-seeded State (27-3) led 104-98 with 57 seconds left, but the No. 1 Hilltoppers (27-2) forced some quick changes. They rallied, and Barry Shetzer hit a 3 with 13 seconds left to give his team a 107-106 edge in what looked like a miraculous comeback. State coach Bryan Poore then disdained a timeout, knowing that Jones and his senior leadership would give the Jackets a maximum opportunity.

"Darren Jones is such a tough player that I knew he could make a play," said Poore. The basket gave Jones a total of 29 points on 10-of-17 shooting, including 4-of-7 from 3-point distance. Josh "Cookie" Miller, a Capital graduate, also contributed 29 on 9-of-15 shooting, including a 4-of-8 effort on 3-point tries to earn tournament MVP honors. Miller, who scored 22 first-half points, injured an ankle two minutes into the second half and, after hobbling down the floor, left the game for treatment. He returned to a nice ovation nearly eight minutes later but was still gimpy and sometimes grimacing in discomfort. Shortly thereafter, he delivered a 3 for a 90-81 State lead with 6:40 left. "Cookie could hardly walk," said Poore, "and he was out there making plays. We just showed a lot of heart tonight. West Liberty is a fantastic team. They score so well." Said WL coach Jim Crutchfield, "I thought we got some tough calls down the stretch. I hate to see games won or lost on tough calls, but I want to congratulate West Virginia State. They played well. They played hard. Their players played well." WL's Shetzer led all scorers with 37 points on 12-of-16 shooting, helping the Hilltoppers to a 17-for-29 performance (58.6 percent) from 3-point range. State's 3-point shooters nearly matched them, sinking 16-of-30 (53.3 percent). On Thursday, State overcame a 22-point second-half deficit for a quarterfinal victory over Seton Hill and again battled uphill on Saturday against the Hilltoppers. WL constructed a 27-12 advantage, but State responded, trimming the lead to 50-47 at halftime, capped by Jason Emerson's 3-pointer at the buzzer. Both teams excelled in 3-point shooting in the first half - WL hitting 9-of16 and State 7-of-14. In addition, the Jackets converted all 10 of their foul opportunities.

(PRINCETON, W.Va.)---West Liberty and West Virginia State are forecast to stay at the top of the WVIAC basketball mountain as league coaches have completed their pre-season forecasts. 2009-10 regular season champion West Liberty is the top choice as the Toppers received a dozen first place votes. West Virginia State, last season's tournament winner, earned the other three nods for the pole position. Fairmont State, Charleston, and Alderson-Broaddus complete the top five. Pitt Johnstown, Wheeling Jesuit, Davis & Elkins, West Virginia Wesleyan, and Seton Hill comprise the sixth through tenth spots. Shepherd, Glenville State, Concord, Ohio Valley, and WVIAC Basketball Bluefield State round out the poll.

Coachesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Poll West Liberty (29-3, 21-1) returns four starters from last season's explosive outfit that averaged 100.9 points per game. Senior guard Corey Pelle (17.7 ppg) is a pre-season honorable mention All-American, while center John Wolosinczuk (13.8 ppg) anchors the inside for Jim Crutchfield's Toppers. West Virginia State (29-4, 20-2) is led by guards Josh Miller (19.7 ppg) and Bo King (13.0 ppg). Forward Fred Harris ranked among the nation's leaders in blocked shots with 4.5 per game. Fairmont State (22-8, 16-6) broke through with an NCAA Tournament appearance last season. The Falcons are primed for a repeat effort behind backcourt aces Steve Custis (16.1 ppg) and Isaac Thornton (15.2 ppg).

Charleston (19-11, 15-7) welcomes a new coach as Mark Downey returns to his alma mater after building a South Region power at Arkansas Tech. Jonathan Liggins (17.4 ppg) and strongman John White (11.7 ppg, 10.0 ppg) provide the foundation for the Golden Eagles. Alderson-Broaddus (24-7, 18-6) has reached the NCAA regionals during all nine of Greg Zimmerman's seasons at the helm. Senior Carl Buck (12.7 ppg) is the top returning scorer, but the Battlers must find a replacement for 2009-10 WVIAC Player of the Year Terrell Eargle. Pitt Johnstown (17-12, 12-10) could return to WVIAC title contention as Bob Rukavina's Mountain Cats return four starters. Center Patrick Grubbs (16.3 ppg, 9.0 rpg) is one of the region's top post players. Senior guard Danny Branch topped UPJ in scoring last season with 17.4 points per game. Wheeling Jesuit (17-11, 14-8) is still one of the WVIAC's youngest squads with only one senior on the roster. The Cardinals welcome back their top five scorers from last season, including leaders Steve Catich (13.4 ppg) and Recardo Gaddy (12.2 ppg). Davis & Elkins (13-14, 11-11) possesses one of the top guard trios in the conference. Seniors PJ Turner (15.7 ppg, 8.6 apg), Tim Turner (20.6 ppg), and Reggie Cook (15.1 ppg) combined for nearly 52 points per night last season.

58 West Virginia Wesleyan (8-21, 7-15) will have a different look in 2010-11 as new head coach Jeff Price has supplemented returning starters Neven Zeravica (14.3 ppg, 9.2 rpg) and Dominique Ngniman (13.8 ppg, 7.0 rpg) with four transfers from NCAA Division I schools. Junior guard Chris Giles (18.0 ppg) is the top returnee at Seton Hill (14-15, 11-11). The Griffins will field one of the tallest squads in the WVIAC with five players taller than 6'7". Shepherd (9-19, 9-13) brings back ten players that saw action last season. Forward Chad Moore (14.0 ppg, 8.9 rpg) enjoyed a productive rookie campaign in 2009-10. Glenville State (7-21, 6-16) adds West Virginia Wesleyan transfer Justin Caldwell (20.3 ppg), a second team All-WVIAC guard last season. Nick Dent (14.1 ppg) is the leading returning scorer for the Pioneers. Concord (6-22, 5-17) took their lumps at times last season with an inexperienced and undersized roster, but the Mountain Lions have their top six scorers from 2009-10 back on hand. Damien Tunstalle poured in 12.0 points per game as a freshman. Ohio Valley (6-22, 5-17) returns all five starters. Donavin Vinson led the Fighting Scots with 16.4 points and 8.5 rebounds per outing last season. Bluefield State (3-25, 3-19) will look to rebuild under the guidance of new head coach Jimmy Voight, who made his last stop as an assistant at NCAA Division I Louisiana-Monroe. The WVIAC men's basketball regular season opens on Friday, November 12. The 74th annual WVIAC Men's Basketball Tournament is slated for March 1-5.
