2012-13 Demon Basketball Media Guide

Looking back on a century of Northwestern State bas-ketball, it’s easy to pinpoint the “One Shining Moment” -- the game-winning 3-pointer by senior guard Jermaine Wallace (pic-tured left) that capped a 17-point comeback over the final eight minutes on March 17, 2006 as the Demons of Destiny stunned 15th-ranked and third-seeded Iowa 64-63 in the first round of the NCAA Tournament.

It and many other exceptional accomplishments were set in motion when Mike McConathy returned the family name to Demon basketball as he accepted the head coaching position in March 1999, at a school where his father Johnny and two uncles starred in the decade after World War II. Coach Mike es-tablished the credo “Championship Basketball With a Purpose” stressing development of his players as members of a winning program that emphasized life skills development, high-caliber character and academic achievement. Well over 80 percent of McConathy’s players graduate.

The Demon basketball story in the NCAA Division era (since 1976-77) is also highlighted by a Dec. 7, 1988 85-82 tri-umph in fabled Rupp Arena over the mighty Kentucky Wildcats, with a scrappy NSU team guided by former Demon sharpshoot-er Dan Bell defying the odds. Roman Banks played a pivotal role in the win, and now is the successful head coach of the Southern Jaguars. Another former Demon guard, Mike Brey, is the ac-complished bench boss of the Notre Dame Fighting Irish.

Considering all of the fun and excitement since the days of disco dawned, the tradition of Demon basketball was already fabulous at the end of the ‘50s and well estab-lished when Northwestern State joined NCAA Division I for the 1976-77 season.

Today’s home for NSU hoops, Prather Coliseum, honors the immense impact of H. Lee Prather, whose 473 wins from 1913-1950 made him the nation’s winningest coach when he stepped down. Less than a year later, he was president of the recently renamed Northwestern State College. His greatest team went 23-5 in 1948-49 and reached the NAIA semifinals, beating BYU a round earlier.

Taking the helm from Prather was the Demons’ first All-America player, Charles “Red” Thomas, who averaged nearly 20 wins in his seven seasons be-fore going into academic administration, retiring years later as a vice president. Scoring sensations Jimmy “Red” Leach and Dick Brown were two of his stars as Northwestern won three Gulf States Conference crowns. Johnny “Hound” McConathy played for Prather’s best team and Thomas’ first one before being the fifth pick in the 1951 NBA Draft.

The 1960s ushered in another former Demon player, Tynes Hildebrand, as head coach. He steered Northwestern to sev-eral NAIA playoff appearances, a notable double OT battle with No. 4-ranked Southwestern Louisiana in 1971, and became a nationally-renowned tactician involved in selecting the 1972 USA Olympic team along with Bob Knight for coach Henry Iba.

Future ABA competitor James Wyatt posted mind-blowing rebounding stats and set the school scoring record from 1965-69, with all-time greats such as David Clark, Demon scoring king Billy “The Kid” Reynolds and All-America guard Vernon Wil-son making headlines in Hildebrand’s 15 seasons as coach. Today Hildebrand, later NSU’s athletics director from 1983-96, is one of the NCAA’s four regional officiating observers, an assignment which Demon fans from back in the day and officials of his coaching career doubtless find ironic. Hildebrand’s influence covers seven decades as player, coach, administrator and NCAA coordinator, bridging the timeline from Coach Prather to Coach McConathy as he’s watched and helped shape our rich history.

NSU earned NCAA Division I status for the 1976-77 season. Coach Tynes Hildebrand’s squad finished 17-9 and included future head coach Dan Bell, all-time scoring king Billy Reynolds,

and future major league baseball saves record-setter Lee Arthur Smith.

The 1987-88 team with freshman Roman Banks (10) who finished his career as the 17th player to achieve the 1,000 point mark. Currenlty, he ranks second in assists

(515) and third in steals (190).

Jimmy Leach set the Demons’ single-game scoring record when he poured 54 on Southwestern La. on Feb. 27, 1959, making 20 of 23 free

throws, also all-time bests.

Johnny McConathy, the No. 5 pick in the 1951 NBA Draft, scored 21.6

points per game as a senior.

Vernon Wilson (1969-73) was an All-American guard for NSU.

Northwestern State will commemorate its rich basketball history dur-ing its centennial season while optimistic, veteran coach Mike McConathy hopes the 2012-13 Demons will make some lasting memories with a blend of vibrant newcomers and proven letterwinners. An unbeaten August tour of British Columbia showed flashes of what can unfold, even without three newcomers on the trip. McConathy isn’t given to overstatement, so when he says the 2012-13 Demons’ backcourt is comparable to what NSU had when it rolled through the Southland and beat Iowa in the 2006 NCAA Tournament, take notice. Back: leading scorer and senior combo guard Shamir Davis, a first-team Preseason All-Southland Conference selection who led the Demons in scor-ing at 13.3 points per game a year ago. Unleashed: highly-regarded 2011 recruit Jalan West, snagged by an NCAA Clearinghouse technicality last season. The redshirt freshman combo guard served notice north of the border in August that he’ll be a significant contributor right away. One sign: in four games, 29 assists, 4 turnovers. Incoming: explosive Neosho County (Kan.) CC scorer Brison White, whose skills will ramp up NSU’s perimeter game. Last year, the 6-1 sharp-shooter averaged 15.7 points, 3.1 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 2.3 steals while making 49 percent of his shots. White is among nine newcomers, six signees from this year along with a couple of walk-ons and West, one of Louisiana’s premiere recruits in the

state’s 2010-11 class. The biggest catch: 6-7 New Mexico JC power forward DeQuan Hicks, who should emerge as a contender for SLC New-comer of the Year honors. An All-Region V selection in 2011-12 at New Mexico Junior College, Hicks averaged 13 points and seven rebounds while shooting 59 percent from the field. He led his team to a 23-9 record while he ranked in the conference top 10 in points, rebounds, field goal aim, blocked shots and double-doubles. Senior frontcourters James Hulbin and O.J. Evans, and sophomore Mar-vin Frazier, will team with Hicks trying to offset the graduation of center William Mosley, fifth all-time on the NCAA shot-blocking list. Improved team rebounding is a must for the Demons, whose amped-up quickness should make their pressure defense again rank among the NCAA’s steals leaders. Hulbin, an athletic 6-8 forward who shot 32 percent with 29 3-pointers last season, averaged 18 points a game in the August trip to British Columbia. He is a second-team Preseason All-Southland choice selected by the league coaches, who have seen him show flashes of brilliance in his first three sea-sons. Evans (6-10) and Frazier (6-9) will join Hicks in the post, with Frazier able to pop outside at either forward slot to unleash a soft shooting touch. In McConathy’s ensemble approach, there’s plenty of action to go around. Last year was typical: 10 different players started, ten averaged at least 10 minutes per game, nobody – including Mosley, a first-team All-Southland pick – averaged 30 minutes per game, and 10 scored in double figures at least

once. The 2012-13 team benefits from veterans who understand their roles. Gritty 6-4 guard Gary Stewart has put up double-figure scoring against foes like LSU and Mississippi State but is also a ball-hawking presence. The shut-down defender is 6-6 junior swingman Patrick Robinson, who started 13 league games last year due to his stop-ability when matched up against the opponent’s best perimeter threat. Nobody is more basketball-savvy than 6-4 senior forward Gary “Chucky” Roberson, who finished the year on a 10-game run in which he hit 52 percent overall and 48 percent on 3s. Junior guard Tyler Washington is returning from a spring knee surgery, so the De-mons aren’t sure if or when his sparkplug athleticism will be back in the rotation. Finally, there’s the coach, starting his 14th season with the long-standing credo “Championship Basketball with a Purpose.” McConathy has graduated more than 85 percent of the seniors who have played for him at NSU, and just received a National Association of Basketball Coaches “Guardians of the Game” award for promoting scholarship. His 2001 and 2006 Demon squads won NCAA Tournament games, and NSU has made 14 national television appearances, including six Southland Conference Tournament champion-ship games. McConathy can become the state’s winningest all-time college basketball coach with 20 victories. It’s worth keeping in mind although again, NSU will play a highly-competitive non-conference schedule to prepare for the ever-rugged Southland season. Senior guard Gary Stewart

mikE mccONathyHead Coach • 14th Season at NSU (200-204) • 29th Season Overall (552-363)Alma Mater: Louisiana Tech (1977) There are some ground rules, unwritten but understood, that come with being involved in Mike McConathy’s Northwestern State basketball program. First, check your ego at the door

and get ready to go to work. In fact, forget about that ego. By the time you’re finished here, you’ll have a great sense of pride, most of it in the people who surround you, because of the work you’ve done together. Second, you are part of the NSU basketball family, in every sense of the word “family.” You will be cared for and respected, treated the way Coach Mike wants his own sons to be treated. It’s a two-way street. Everybody you come into contact with deserves the same, whether it’s a teammate, a student trainer, a janitor, a bus driver, or a waitress in a restaurant hundreds of miles away from home. What you do reflects on everybody else in your family, so you do the right things. And you know what’s right and what’s not. Third, you are part of a program whose slogan is “Championship Basketball ... With a Purpose!” As a Demon, you will be challenged to improve yourself each day, in every way, not just on the basket-ball court or in the weight room, but in the classroom and in life skills that will remain long after your last college jump shot settles softly into the net. Fourth, realize how lucky you are to have this opportunity. Enjoy it. Maximize it. Appreciate it, and those who have made it possible, like your family and your coaches and teammates before you ar-rived at NSU. Fifth, let’s have fun. Basketball is a game. Life is a blessing. It ought to be enjoyable to be around your coaches and teammates, who you’re going to spend more time with than anyone else during your college career. Those are among the core values Coach Mike instills in the Northwestern program. They’re not unique principles. McConathy constantly studies the great motivators and success stories, not only in sports but in busi-ness and religion and education and every aspect of life, looking for lessons he and his coaching staff can teach to their young men. You’ll find the fabled UCLA basketball “Pyramid of Success” de-signed by legendary coach John Wooden in the Demon basketball offices. On every practice plan, there’s a “thought for the day” -- and sometimes it is basketball related, but most often, it’s achievement-oriented. When he arrived at his father’s alma mater in March 1999,

tasked with turning around a long-downtrodden program, Coach Mike didn’t run off the players in the program so he could bring in his kind of guys right away. At the press conference announcing his hiring, he talked about bringing Demon basketball back to the level of expectation it had when his father and uncles played for Northwestern in the 1950s. Then, 20-win seasons and conference championships were stan-dard fare. One veteran media member wondered if the new coach was from Mars, so farfetched that goal seemed. After all, NSU had just five winning seasons in 24 years of Division I membership - and had never been close to a conference championship or an NCAA Tournament berth. McConathy only had two scholarships to work with, just a couple of weeks before signing day, but instead of cleaning house, he cre-ated a homelike atmosphere. This program, he told the veteran players, wasn’t his. It was theirs. His role was to shape it into some-thing good, for them and for the players to come. His two pre-teen boys, Michael and Logan, spent as much time in Prather Coliseum as the players did. That wasn’t by accident. Coach Mike told his team that he wanted to be able to have pride in having his boys around the players. So the McConathy kids had a bunch of older brothers, and the players suddenly had a couple of younger brothers, subtly reminding them their conduct was very personal to their new coach. Deep inside, McConathy also was determined to build a pro-gram that would be solid enough that when his sons finished high school, it might appeal to them to be involved, in some way, per-haps even as players, just like their grandfather Johnny and their uncles, George and Leslie, were in the years between World War II and the Korean Conflict, when the NBA was a fledgling league with teams in Ft. Wayne and Syracuse, a decade before color television made its debut. Now, beginning his 14th season as head coach, Coach Mike’s vision has long since become reality. Sticking with the players already in the program worked. His first team posted the first winning season in eight years at North-western, and became the first Demon team to reach the Southland Conference Tournament championship game. A year later, the Demons were back, and they didn’t stop there. The heart of the team he inherited and inspired worked its way to the SLC Tournament title in 2001, into the NCAA Tournament for the first time ever, and to an opening round win as the Demons became “Dayton’s Darlings” and somewhat of a national media

sensation at the outset of March Madness. The swirl of national talk show appearances, the fact that the team’s opening win was the lead story on “SportsCenter” and in the next day’s USA Today sports section, was all part of the bigger picture for McConathy. It was a chance to solidify the foundation that had been established, an opportunity to springboard the NSU program into a position of being a consistent championship con-tender in the Southland Conference. A year later, as seven seniors went through commencement exercises, McConathy was preparing for the consequences of a surprising recruiting decision. The coach who spent 16 seasons in the junior college ranks decided against blending juco players with a few prep prospects to replace the departing senior class. Instead, McConathy and assistants Dave Simmons and Mark Slessinger brought in a dozen high school seniors. Those recruits were the 2005-06 seniors, except for Jermaine Spencer, who had interest from LSU and Texas, among others, but signed with McConathy and the Demons. Spencer took a medi-cal redshirt year as a sophomore, so his senior season came in 2006-07. Behind that 2003 recruiting class, the Demons layered in a handful of talented high school players in 2004 and 2005, and added a blend of prep and junior college recruits since, averting another wholesale rebuilding. The plan worked. The youngest team in the country battled

through two losing seasons, appearing ready to turn the corner in 2003-04 before some key players were sidelined. In 2004-05, the payoff began: 21 wins (the most for the Demons since 1960), a Southland Conference co-championship, homecourt advantage in the SLC Tournament and an ESPN-televised champi-onship game at Prather Coliseum. But it was a stunning last-minute loss. That was the painful mo-tivator for the 2005-06 team - the Demons wanted to fulfill their potential, to repeat as champs, host the SLC tournament champi-onship game again, and win there - and in the NCAA Tournament. They did that, and much more. The Demons had a school-record 26 wins, including victories at Oklahoma State, Mississippi State, over Oregon State and No. 15 Iowa in the NCAA Tournament. Attendance records were shat-tered. They earned a TV game in the ESPN BracketBusters. They won the SLC by the widest margin in nine seasons. Northwestern made its fourth SLC Tournament championship game appearance in McConathy’s first seven seasons as head coach. The Demons won the Pontiac Game Changing Performance $100,000 general scholarship prize for the most spectacular play in the NCAA Tour-nament. Northwestern made four national television (CBS, ESPN2, ESPNU) appearances, let alone the cascade of national coverage during their NCAA Tournament run by the Demons of Destiny. Each March, national media revisit the win over Iowa, capped

As a player... “Coach Mike” is already inducted into the Louisiana Association of Basketball Coaches Hall of Fame for his career as a high school All-American at Bossier City-Airline High School and as a high scoring guard at Louisiana Tech from 1973-77. He was inducted in Louisiana Tech’s Athletics Hall of Fame in October 2011. McConathy was a gym rat. One of his per-sonal workouts involved shooting baskets in the dark. The hard work paid off for McConathy, who was a fourth-round draft pick of the NBA’s Chi-cago Bulls. Among his 2,033 career points were 45, still the Prather Coliseum single-game re-cord, against Northwestern in his senior year. He was told he had made the Bulls roster, but was released on the final cut. He tried playing in Eu-rope, but soon decided to come home and begin his coaching career.

As a coach before NSU ... McConathy’s start in coaching came as girls basketball coach at his alma mater, Airline High School in Bossier City. Soon, he moved into the college ranks without making any kind of move at all. McConathy won 20 games or more in 11 of his 16 seasons as head coach at Bossier Parish Community College, starting the program from scratch in 1983. They didn’t have a gym or dor-mitories, practicing and playing at Airline when the gym was available. But his teams posted at least 23 wins in each of his last seven seasons at BPCC, and were in the top 10 of the final nation-al junior college Top 25 rankings in each of his last three seasons. His overall 352-159 (.688) record at Bossier

Parish included a remarkable 185-48 (.794) mark since the start of the 1992-93 season. His last six teams won Miss-Lou Conference championships. His 1998-99 club was 26-5 and ranked eighth nationally, a year after the team posted a 27-3 record and finished with a No. 3 national ranking.

Coaching influences ... His father, Johnny McConathy, won a state championship at Bossier High School before he went into administration, eventually serving a long term as superintendent of schools in Bossier Parish. His first college coach was Scotty Robertson, who signed him to play at Louisiana Tech and coaching him his freshman year before becom-ing the first-ever head coach of the NBA’s New Orleans Jazz. Coach Robertson spent more than 20 years in the NBA, serving as head coach in New Orleans, Chicago and Detroit, and retiring as Pat Riley’s bench coach with the Miami Heat. Until he passed away in August of 2011, Coach Robertson made frequent trips to Natchitoches to visit with the Demons and to duck hunt with his good friends, including former NSU soccer coach Jimmy Mitchell. Former state Rep. Billy Wayne Montgom-ery was a highly successful high school coach in Bossier Parish, winning a state champion-ship at Haughton High School before he entered politics. Coach Montgomery and Johnny McCo-nathy are close friends. Coach’s value-centered approach to coaching and life made a huge im-pression on Coach Mike as he grew up in Bossier City. Coach Montgomery was named Mr. Loui-siana Basketball for 2008-09 by the Louisiana As-sociation of Basketball Coaches. Robertson and Montgomery are in the Loui-siana Sports Hall of Fame.

by Jermaine Wallace’s off-side rebound and fall-away 3-pointer from the corner with 0.5 left. It’s shown over and over on TV, and has continually been featured in lists of all-time NCAA Tournament great finishes and best NCAA games of the decade. In March 2011, an NCAAsports.com vote by fans tabbed the contest the greatest game in NCAA Tournament history. Also in 2005-06, NSU was among 34 programs around the na-tion, alongside Harvard and Yale, North Carolina and Villanova, Air Force and Navy, to receive special recognition by the NCAA for ranking in the top 10 percent nationally in the Academic Progress Rate report for two years of outstanding work advancing players toward graduation. Seven seniors graduated, five with degrees. For most programs it would be back to the drawing board at that point. For the De-mons, it was back to more success in 2006-07 -- starting with a jam-packed Prather Coliseum for a season-opening smackdown of Utah State, and finishing a 3-pointer shy of another NCAA Tourna-ment berth. For the third straight year, NSU won an SLC title - this time the newly created SLC East Division crown. Again, the Demons were in the SLC Finals. It was more déjà vu in 2008. For the sixth time in nine seasons, and for the fourth consecu-tive year, the Demons reached the SLC Tournament championship game. Another nailbiting 3-point loss kept them from the Big Dance. But their SLC Tournament dominance was palpable to observers and the competition, who are wary of the Demons’ depth that makes them so formidable in the late season and postseason play. Another equally impressive streak also was extended. For a third straight year, NSU basketball led all Division I basketball programs in Louisiana and in the SLC with their outstanding APR score. Outstanding performances in the APR have continued, with a perfect 1,000 score in the May 2011 report and high marks again in the 2012 APR. It’s all part of Coach Mike’s plan. And it’s a home grown product. McConathy has built with Louisiana players -- 14 of this year’s 18 Demons are from the Bayou State. That’s fitting. The McConathy family roots, and values, are deep in the red clay hills of north Louisiana, tracing back decades to his family’s farm in hilly Bienville Parish, where his father and uncles did their chores before they used horses and bicycles to make the six-mile plus trip to basketball practice and games. During his days at Bossier Parish Community College, McCo-nathy had chances to join his college teammate Tim Floyd as an assistant coach at Iowa State and possibly to the NBA, but it never came to pass. He couldn’t put a price tag on raising his boys around their grandparents and uncles and aunts in north Louisiana. Now, as he’s brought Northwestern basketball back, and even beyond to a level it reached when his father played for the Demons, he’s proud his parents, Johnny and Corene, sit across the court at

Prather Coliseum, savoring the experience. On Homecoming day 2009, a Decade of Dynamic Demon Bas-ketball was celebrated with a reunion of those who made it happen -- almost 100 players, managers, trainers, coaches and staff gath-ered at Prather Coliseum for a family picnic. Nearly all of Coach Mike’s first team in 1999-2000 returned, reflecting their appreciation for the respect, care and leadership he provided. Players traveled from around the country to share fellowship with former teammates and brothers in basketball from throughout the first 10 seasons un-der Coach Mike’s guidance. The transformation of Demon basketball has been accom-plished. The challenge hasn’t ended -- competition never does -- but Mike McConathy has built a program solid enough that he would be proud to have his own son as part of the team. He’s smiling even more broadly nowadays. Michael and Logan graduated with honors after finishing five years in purple and white. But there still is a roster full of “Coach Mike’s boys” who don’t hap-pen to be McConathys, just Demons. Ask any of them, or their predecessors -- Demon basketball truly is all a family thing.

Coach Mike is honored during a pregame ceremony marking his 500th career win.

“Mike is remarkably relaxed in this pressure cooker. You can tell his players hold a reverence toward him. If you didn’t meet him, you’d think he was too good to be true. He’s a quality human being, more concerned about his kids getting through school and doing well in life than anything else, and they know it.”-- Bill Raftery, CBS Sports2006 NCAA Tournament

“I’ve seen and coached a lot of ath-letes down through the years but even today I can say that Mike Mc-Conathy is the most dedicated ath-lete I have ever been around. He was unrelenting in his drive to improve. He would often wear ankle weights, and he was constantly jumping rope. Even after practice, many nights he would return to the gym, calling a manager to come shag balls for him as he shot and shot and shot to im-prove. It was obvious to me early on that Mike was going to be a special player, but it was definitely his work ethic that set him apart over the course of his career.”-- college teammate, Cal-Riverside head coach Jim Wooldridge

“I have never seen the drive Mike had in any other player on any lev-el. Looking back, I realize that the things we coaches try to empha-size each day to our players are the things that Mike did back then. He was completely self-made and his numbers each year reflected how hard he was working. He could have started for North Carolina, UCLA or anybody else.”-- college teammate, now UTEP head coach Tim Floyd




McConathy is home: family ties to NSU span more than 50 yearsby Jerry Byrd, Bossier Press-Tribune For more than 50 years, the name of McConathy has been synonymous with Northwestern State University basketball tradition.

It all started on the Bienville Parish hill farm of O. L. McConathy in 1945, the year that World War II ended. McConathy’soldestsons,LeslieandJohnny,wereplowingcornthatdaywhentheirworkwasinterruptedbyanautomobile winding its way up the dirt road leading to the farmhouse. The three men in the automobile were representatives from the Louisiana Normal College in Natchitoches. The Bryceland High School basketball team had defeated Coushatta in a rally at Natchitoches, and the men made the trip to

Bienville Parish to offer an athletic scholarship to Leslie McConathy. One of the men was the Normal football coach and athletic director, Harry “Rags” Turpin. Another was

Monty Cheeves, an assistant basketball coach. The other was Joe Webb, a chemistry professor who later becameheadofthealumniassociation.Webb’sson,Randy,isnowthepresidentofNorthwestern. Legend has it that Leslie McConathy picked up his plow by one handle, pointed in the direction of the farmhouse and told them he would meet them there as soon as he and Johnny plowed their way around the hill.ButJohnny’smemoryisabitfoggyonthatpoint.

When they reached the house, the scholarship offer was made and accepted, sealed by a handshake, and the visitors left. A few weeks later, Leslie changed his mind after visiting Louisiana Tech at Ruston, and sent a letter to Coach Turpin informing him that he had decided to attend Tech. Turpin returned to the McConathy farm to discuss the situation with Leslie and his father. O. L. McConathy asked Leslie if he told the people from Normal that he would go to their college. “Yes, sir,” he replied.

“Then you told the people at Tech you would go to their college?” “Yes, sir.” “Well,that’samightypoorwaytodobusiness,isn’tit?Yougaveyourwordtothesepeoplefirst,sothatsettlesit.” “Welivedrightbehindtheschool,”JohnnyMcConathyrecalls.Actually,itwassixmilesasthecrowflies--andmuchlonger when Leslie rode a horse and Johnny pedaled a bicycle to the gym for basketball practice and games. Two years after his older brother went to the Natchitoches college, when Johnny was a senior at Bryceland High (which had an enrollment of 69 students), no college recruiters made the trip to the McConathy farmhouse. One reason was that Johnny McConathy broke his ankle early in the season. Another was the fact that he was a 6-1, 155-pound stringbean who would grow four inches taller in the next two years.

Johnny hitchhiked to Natchitoches, where he found legendary coach H. Lee Prather playing a ping pong game. “What can you do?” Prather asked him between serves.

“I can play ball,” said Johnny. Pratherlookedathimandshookhishead.“Youdon’tlooklikemuchofaballplayertome,”hesaid.“Idon’thaveanything for you.” Then he resumed his ping pong game.

JohnnyMcConathywasn’teasilydiscouraged.Whenclassesstartedthefollowingfall,hehitchhikedtoNatchitochesagain.Once again, Prather told him no scholarship was available. But after Johnny managed to hang around for a few days, Prather called in Leslie and told him oneoftheboyshewasexpectinghadn’tshownup.“I’llgiveyourbrotheranopportunity,onedayatatime,”hesaid. By that time, the Natchitoches school had changed its name to Northwestern State College. Leslie and Johnny McConathy both played on the 1948-49 Demonteamwhichposteda23-5recordandisstillregardedasPrather’sgreatestteam.SodidanotherMcConathy,Herschel,adistantrelativefromFlorien.

Johnny McConathy went from his “one day at a time” trial period to set a school scoring record and win All-America honors in 1952. After a brief stint in theNationalBasketballAssociation,hecoachedBossierHightoitsfirststatebasketballchampionshipin1960andlaterservedassuperintendentofBossierParish schools. Leslie was superintendent of Richland Parish schools. By the time younger brother George McConathy was a senior at Bryceland High, the Bienville Parish school had won a couple of state championships and




Prather, who was then the Northwestern president, made the trip to the McConathy farmhouse himself to complete the clean sweep for the Demons. George became an All-Gulf States Conference star for Demon teams coached by Charles “Red” Thomas. One generation (and several interviews) later, the McConathy connection led to Northwestern State. When he was a senior at Airline High, Mike McConathy was recruited by LSU, Louisiana Tech and NorthwesternState.HesignedwithTechcoachScottyRobertson,whohadcoachedatShreveport’sByrdHighwhenMike’sfather,JohnnywascoachingatBossierHigh.

Six of those teams won 20 or moregames.TheNatchitochesschoolhadonlytwolosingbasketballseasonsinthefirst47yearsofitsbasketball program. That is the kind of tradition that Mike McConathy grew up hearing about from his father and uncles. That is the kind of achievement that Coach Mike McConathy had to his credit in 16 seasons as head basketball coach at Bossier Parish Community College. NowadaysatNorthwestern,it’sclearCoachMikeMcConathyhasrestoredthesamekindofchampi-onship tradition to the Demon basketball program his family helped to shape.

After reading the preceding story, nationally-acclaimed Dayton Daily News columnist Tom Archdeacon spent time with Coach McConathy, his team and his family on the opening day of the 2001 NCAA Tournament. Archdeacon told the story of McConathy’s deep ties to Northwest-ern in the next morning’s Dayton Daily News. Portions of that column are excerpted here:

For Cinderella team, the McConathy magic is backMarch 14, 2001by Tom Archdeacon, Dayton Daily News

The big, white-haired man in the Demon purple shirt laughed and nod-ded: Sure, he’d tell the story of the plow and the promise........”That’s how this all began. It got me there and our brother George, one of our cousins, too, and now... it’s got Mike.” Mike McConathy is Johnny’s son and the m i r a c l e - work i ng , second-year coach of Northwestern State. Tuesday night, that Louisiana field that was plowed 55 years ago bore its best basketball fruit at UD Arena as Northwestern State -- playing the first NCAA Tournament game in school history -- defeated Winthrop, 71-67, in the opening round game of this year’s tournament ........Across Blackburn Court, Doug Ire-land, the Demons’ sports information director, looked out at the scene of the proud father and triumphant son -- who soon would be fighting tears when he talked of his parents and how they’d driven nearly 1,000 miles to be here with him, and nodded: “The McConathy magic is back. This is just an absolute great story.” Northwestern State and the McCo-nathys is one of those charming Cin-derella tales you get early in an NCAA Tournament. It’s a story of honor, un-daunted belief and success.




JEff mOOrEAssistant Coach • 7th Season at NSUAlma Mater: Missouri Valley College (1995)

He’s the son of a legendary south Louisiana high school basketball coach. He spent five seasons as a head coach himself in the junior college ranks. He hit the ground running, at a sprinter’s pace, as he joined the Northwestern State coach-

ing staff in September 2006. His command of basketball strategy and his zeal on the recruiting trail immediately came to the forefront and continues to shine through beginning his seventh year on the NSU staff.

That’s 17-year coaching veteran Jeff Moore, whose amazing work ethic and winning personality made him the perfect choice to fill some big shoes on the Demons staff. He replaced current McNeese State head coach Dave Simmons. Remarkably, the Demons didn’t miss a beat. Moore’s strategic acumen and teaching skills were tremendous assets as NSU won yet another Southland Conference title in his first season on staff, capturing the SLC East Division crown. In his first two seasons, the Demons made back-to-back trips to the SLC Finals. Moore’s motto: “preparation comes face-to-face with opportunity.” Moore, a 1990 graduate of Lake Arthur High School, spent 2005-06 as an assistant coach at nearby Bossier Parish Community College and the three previous years as an assistant at Tyler (Texas) Junior College. Says Demon head coach Mike McConathy: “He is a great teacher of the game, a tremendous worker, and has an extremely positive, warm personality. He’s rooted in Louisiana, which is the heart-beat of our program, and he also has contacts around basketball that broaden our network. “Jeff also has an impressive amount of experience for someone relatively young in the game. He grew up with a dad who was a great basketball coach and the game is definitely a passion for him,” said McConathy. “From being a head junior college coach for five seasons, he understands what we have to do to not only keep our program achieving at a high level, but to move forward.” Moore’s father, the late Wilbert C. “Nooky” Moore, coached for 33 seasons in Louisiana at the high school (Slidell, Rayne, Notre Dame-Crowley, Lake Arthur) and college (assistant coach to Ralph Ward at McNeese State) levels. The younger Moore began his college coaching career in 1995 at his alma mater, Missouri Valley College, after serving as a student assistant coach in 1994-95 following the end of his playing career. He was named an NAIA Scholar All-American at Missouri Valley after earning National Junior College Athletic Association All-Academic honors at Marshalltown (Iowa) Community College, where he was also an honorable mention all-region performer. He earned a master’s degree in education, with an emphasis in athletic administration, from Northwestern State in 1997. He spent five years (1997-2002) as head basketball coach and athletic director at John Wood (Ill.) Community Col-lege, highlighted by a 2001 run to the NJCAA regional tournament semifinals. Moore was a standout player at Lake Arthur High School and recently was inducted into the school’s athletic hall of

fame. He played on the Louisiana Stars AAU state championship team and was chosen for the Louisiana Pepsi All-Stars Team that toured the Canary Islands. He continues to host summer camps in Jefferson Davis Parish starting in 1998 and also hosted senior workout camps in April in south Louisiana, providing an opportunity for hundreds of state prep players to obtain college scholarships at the junior college, NAIA and NCAA levels. His relationships with prep coaches has helped raise attendance at summer NSU camps and clinics to all-time highs. He and his wife Amy, a third grade teacher at the NSU Lab School, have a beautiful and active 5 1/2-year-old daughter, Gracie, and a son, Caige (yes for Dad’s cajun heritage), who will turn one in January.

BiLL LEWitAssistant Coach • 2nd Season at NSUAlma Mater: Salisbury University (1991) After establishing a perennial junior college national power at Cecil College in Maryland, Bill Lewit is in his second year on the staff at Northwestern State helping continue what head coach Mike McConathy has built. His impact has been immense in player development, social development, academic goal setting, and expanding NSU’s recruitment base. “I am truly blessed to have landed as an assistant coach on Coach McConathy’s staff,” Lewit said. “He is a proven winner who has built a very special basketball program, and most importantly empowers his staff and players to perform on and off the court with the same championship qualities he possesses. I know, just like all the players and coaches

before me, I am better because of my experience with him.” Before coming to NSU, Lewit spent the previous two years at the University of New Orleans, where he was associate head coach while the Privateers were in the Sun Belt Conference. Prior to his work at New Orleans, Lewit won a national championship in 2006 at Cecil after going 33-2. He guided the team to the No. 1 spot in the final regular season polls three times, and to top-7 finishes in each of his final 11 seasons. The 2006 team was the first team in NCJAA history to start as the No. 1 ranked team at the start of the season, end as the No. 1 ranked team in the final regular season poll, and go on to win the national title. Lewit also earned National Coach of the Year in 2006, and maintained 100 percent eligibility for his players over his14 years and over 90 percent gradu-ation of his sophomores. Additionally, Lewit’s Cecil teams won six Maryland Juco regular season conference championships, five Maryland Juco State Tournament Champion-ships, six Region Championships, and 354 games. He was selected conference and region Coach of the Year a combined 15 times. Even before coaching, sports and competition had always been a big driving force for Lewit. He was a football and basketball standout from 1987-91 at Salisbury University (Md.). In his senior season (1990-91), he served as the football team captain, led the team in receptions and receiving yards, held the basketball team’s highest free throw and 3-point shooting percentage, and won the overall Male Scholar-Athlete of the Year Award. To this day, Lewit is still the only athlete at Salisbury to earn four varsity letters in both football and basketball. One of his biggest collegiate highlights was when he recorded 17 points, five rebounds and four assists in the conference championship game to help lead Salisbury earn an automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament. Lewit studied for a Bachelor’s in Communications in 1991, and Master’s in Education/Counseling in 1993, both from Salisbury. In high school, Lewit earned a combined nine varsity letters in football, basketball and baseball at Red Bank Regional HS (N.J.). As a senior, he was named to the all-county team in all three sports. Some of his biggest high school accolades were winning three division titles in basketball, being selected for the Vince Lombardi Rock and Granite award as one of Monmouth County’s elite football players, and being honored as Red Bank Regional’s Most Outstanding Male Athlete in 1987. Furthermore, Lewit became the youngest Red Bank Regional Alumni to be inducted into the Red Bank Regional Distinguished Alumni Hall of Fame in April, 2010. Lewit is an avid New York sports fan and supports the Yankees, Giants, Knicks and Islanders. His connections in sports to this day are outstanding. His basketball teammate at Salisbury, Russell Springmann, is an assistant coach with the Texas Longhorns basketball team. One of Lewit’s college football teammates, Dan Quinn, is the defensive coordinator for the Florida Gators football team. Jareem Dowling, one of Lewit’s athletes and former assistants at Cecil, is now an assistant coach for the Southern Mississippi basketball team. Lewit is the son of Bob and Maureen Lewit. He grew up in a Catholic family and both his parents and two brothers, Bob and Greg, still live in New Jersey. His grandmother, Angela Lewit, currently resides in Tampa Bay, Fla. His family has always been his biggest inspiration in life as they stressed Catholic faith, family, education, athletics, work ethic and serving others.

In his first season with the Demons, he helped NSU reach its league-record fourth straight Southland Conference Tournament champi-onship game and, in 2010, he was part of a staff that led NSU to a second place finish in the conference race. “Jacob has earned the opportunity,” said McConathy. “He came to us with a great basketball background and he immedi-ately became a very valued member of our program. He has excelled at everything he’s done and has already shown that he is going to be very good for us in this expanded role, particularly as it relates to recruiting. “He’s a quality person and has a great future in the profession,” said McConathy. Spielbauer was an NAIA honorable mention All-American point guard and an Academic All-American at William Penn

University in 2006 and 2007, along with earning all-con-ference honors for three seasons. He still holds the school record for career three-pointers made with 230 and also scored 1,300 points during his four seasons as a States-man. Spielbauer was team captain in his last three years and helped the Statesmen post back-to-back conference championships before they reached the NAIA Division II national tournament in his senior season.

2012-13 Demon Basketball Schedule




In an era of considerable change in intercollegiate athletics, the Southland Conference continues to be a model of innovation, stability and consistent achievement as it celebrates the academic and athletic accomplishments of its member institutions. What began as a small gathering of college administrators nearly 50 years ago, the Southland Conference has transformed itself into a dynamic and respected consortium of 11 member universities in four states. Beginning with a historic meeting of five institutions in Dallas on March 15, 1963, that included current member Lamar University (then Lamar State College of Technology), the Southland Conference set on an extraordinary course that has proven successful well into its fifth decade of existence. The successful transformation continues. On Oct. 11, 2011, the Southland Conference announced the addition of Oral Roberts University, effective for the 2012-13 academic year, marking the league’s first entry into the state of Oklahoma and the Tulsa metropolitan area. Shortly thereafter, on Nov. 21, the Southland announced the addition of Houston Baptist University for the 2013-14 academic year, giving the league an 11th member and its first insti-tution in the region’s largest city, home to significant student-recruitment and alumni bases. In addition to its two newest members, the Southland Conference mem-bership also consists of the University of Central Arkansas, Lamar University, McNeese State University, Nicholls State University, Northwestern State University, Sam Houston State University, Southeastern Louisiana University, Stephen F. Austin State University and Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi. All told, the membership of the Southland encompasses approximately 120,000 current students and an alumni base of nearly 700,000. Famous alums from current Southland Conference schools include former CBS news anchor Dan Rather (Sam Houston State), NBA executive Joe Dumars (Mc-Neese State), ABC news anchor Robin Roberts (Southeastern Louisiana), ma-jor League Baseball stars Kevin Millar (Lamar) and Mike Miley (Southeastern Louisiana), NBA legend Scottie Pippen (Central Arkansas), Grammy Award-winning musicians Don Henley and Rodney Crowell (both Stephen F. Austin), NFL standout Lardarius Webb (Nicholls State), PGA Tour golfer Chris Stroud (Lamar), award-winning filmmaker Richard Linklater (Sam Houston State, American Idol winner Kris Allen (Central Arkansas), NCAA football coach Charlie Strong (Central Arkansas), TV personality Kathie Lee Gifford (Oral Roberts), and NFL coaching legend O.A. “Bum” Phillips (Lamar, Stephen F. Austin), The cities of the Southland are diverse and progressive, ranging from international business and cultural centers such as Houston, New Orleans, Tulsa and Little Rock, to the historical cities ofNacogdoches, Texas, and Natchitoches, La., to the home of the modern oil boom, Beaumont, Texas, to the unique Cajun French cultures found in the Louisiana cities of Thibodaux and Lake Charles. Southland Conference institutions also draw large numbers of students from the metropolitan areas of Dallas-Fort Worth, San Antonio, Baton Rouge, Austin, and Shreveport. The Southland sponsors 17 championship sports, all at the NCAA Division I level. The eight men’s sports include baseball, basketball, cross country, football, golf, tennis, and indoor andoutdoor track and field. The women compete for nine championships in basketball, cross country, golf, soc-cer, softball, tennis, indoor and outdoor track and field, and volleyball. The conference earns automatic qualification to NCAA championships in baseball, men’s and women’s basketball, men’s and women’s cross country, football, men’s and women’s golf, women’s soccer, softball, men’s and women’s tennis, and volleyball.

While answering the first question at the July 15, 2000 press confer-ence announcing his hiring as basketball coach at Notre Dame, Mike Brey talked about his days playing college basketball for Tynes Hildebrand at Northwestern State. Brey, a two-year starter for the Demons, still ranks eighth at NSU in career assists with 311 from 1977-80, an average of 4.3 per game. He led the team as a sophomore with 180, still the fifth-best single-season total in school history. In the moments after being introduced as the new Notre Dame coach, Brey listed Hildebrand alongside Duke’s Mike Krzyzewski and Morgan Woo-ten, the legendary DeMatha High School coach, as major influences in his basketball philosophies. Brey played for Wooten, who helped Hildebrand recruit him. After college, Brey coached under Wooten, then moved to Duke and helped the Blue Devils reach six Final Fours and win two NCAA titles. Brey then took over as head coach at Delaware and was 99-52 there in five years before taking the Notre Dame job. When Brey took over, the Irish hadn’t been to the NCAA Tournament in 11 seasons. Now beginning his 13th season coaching the Irish, Brey has led Notre Dame to eight NCAA Tournaments, six first-round wins, and a trip to the 2003 Sweet Sixteen after winning the Big East Conference champion-ship -- along with four NIT appearances.

NSU’S All-AmericANS ANd retired NUmberS

Shown (l-r) are Demons whose jersey numbers have been retired: Ver-non Wilson, Dr. Charles “Red” Thomas, and Johnny McConathy

5- CHARLES “RED” THOMASNorthwestern State’s first All-America basketball play-er, winning that honor in 1941. He later became head basketball coach at NSU and guided the Demons to an outstanding 129-76 (.629) record in seven years at the helm, never experiencing a losing season during his en-tire tenure. Also an excellent trackman, Thomas was enshrined into the Northwestern State Graduate “N” Club Hall of Fame in 1971.

14 - JOHNNY McCONATHYNorthwestern’s second All-America selection, the father of Demon baskeball coach Mike McConathy earned that distinction for his play during the 1951 season. McConathy set a school record for most points scored in a single season with 562 and a 21.6 average. He was invited to play in the College All-Star Game in Chicago and was the fifth pick in the first round of the 1951 NBA Draft by Syracuse. McConathy, who also participated in track at NSU, was a member of the 1973 class that was enshrined into the Graduate “N” Club Hall of Fame.

24 - VERNON WILSONNamed as an All-America in 1973, Wilson remains NSU’s all-time leader in average points-per-game with a career figure of 20.6 ppg, scoring 1,548 points in just 75 games. Wilson led the Demons in scoring during each of the 1971, ’72 and ’73 seasons, earning team MVP honors for those three years. Named the 1971 Gulf States Conference Rookie of the Year, first team all-Louisiana in ’72 and ’73, he was chosen to the first team of the NAIA District 30 squad that toured Israel while playing against that country’s Olympic team.

Northwestern State has a long, proud tradition of producing highly successful

basketball coaches Northwestern State University’s long tradition of producing educators is easily tracedback to 1884. It was then that Louisiana State Normal School was formed and dedicated to the preparation of teachers. Coaches are, in the most fundamental sense of the word, teachers. They issue highly technical instructions, they constantly test their students, and they seek to inspire them. Basketball coaches at Northwestern have been doing it for almost a century now. These “teachers” have turned out hundreds of great students who have become successful coaches. The tradition of producing basketball coaches from within the Demon program goes back to: H. Lee Prather, Charles”Red” Thomas, Huey Cranford, Tynes Hildebrand, Wayne Yates, DonBeasley,DanBell,J.D.BarnettandcontinuestodayunderMikeMcConathy.NSU’sac-claimed School of Health and Human Performance has produced many notable high school and college coaches. These coaches were taught by the likes of Buddy Bonnette and Jim Simmons. At last count the list of NSU graduates in the coaching ranks (past and present) in the sport of basketball is well over 500. Here is a partial list of some notable former Demon players and NSU graduates who have made impact in the coaching profession (please submit additions via e-mail to [email protected]):AlumniCharlie Alexander - Head Coach Hornbeck High SchoolRoman Banks - Head Coach Southern UniversityThurman Baptiste - former head coach, Natchitoches Central High SchoolDan Bell - former NSU head coach; head coach, Huntsville (Ala.)

NSU Championship Coaches



One shot, years in the making, and making a difference for years to come. There’s obvious historic sports sig-nificance of the game-winning 3-point basket just before the buzzer by NSU’s Jermaine Wallace in the 2006 NCAA Tournament win over 15th-ranked Iowa. It’s burned into the history of March Madness and is sure to reappear for years to come, in anticipation of more magic by underdog teams, and in comparison to fantastic finishes yet to be achieved. But the shot also has a more tangible impact at Northwestern, thanks to Gen-eral Motors and its sponsorship of the Pontiac Game-Changing Performance contests awarding $100,000 to the uni-versity whose moment in each March Madness is voted by fans as the most spectacular play of that year’s NCAA Tournament. There is a $5,000 winner for each of the four weeks in the tournament, and the “final four” winners compete against each other before the fans vote determines the top prize winner during the national championship game. The funds are designated for use in the university’s general scholar-ship fund. Fans in 2006 picked the Wallace game-winner as the play of the tournament. GM Regional director Tim Hughes came to the NSU campus to present the $100,000 check to President Dr. Randy Webb, Coach Mike McConathy and the Demons. McConathy and a committee including university faculty and administrators set up guidelines for the money. McConathy and the group set up an endowment with the money, so that it would benefit students for decades to come. The “Wallace Pontiac Game Changing Performance Scholar-ship” is dedicated to undergraduate students who have attended college for at least four years in pursuit of their first undegraduate degree. The $750 per/semester award goes to students who meet criteria including:

• Leadership outside of the classroom • Participation and leadership in recognized student orga-nizations, spirit groups, marching band, club sports or inter-collegiate sports for athletes who have completed their eligi-bility • Community and university service

Already, 17 NSU students have been helped by the scholarship. One grateful recipient is Sandra Shirah, a non-traditional student from Pineville. She was a criminal justice major and single mother who graduated in December of 2007. Her daughter was a student at Louisiana College while her mother attended Northwestern. Shirah took her classes online as many NSU students do. She saw an e-mail notice about the scholarship sent to all NSU under-

graduates and applied for the scholarship. She had been affiliated with the Pineville police department for 20 years. She had a long list of community service activi-ties, including teaching resume development to inner city residents. “If not for the Wallace Pontiac scholarship, I would not have been able to complete getting my undergraduate degree with-out taking out another student loan,” she said. That’s just one shining example of how the shot that made Demons’ dreams come true in March Madness will do the same thing for generations of NSU students.

Natchitoches native, NSU graduate and longtime Louisiana thoroughbred horse owner Firal Ryder, a season ticket holder, named one of his horses after theDemons’coach. “Coach Mike” has lifetime earnings of more than$300,000.She–yes,that’sright,this“CoachMike” isafilly–madeherbig splash twoyearsago at the Fair Grounds in New Orleans, wining a $50,000 allowance race three years ago, her sec-ond win.

Dr. Randall J. WebbNorthwestern State President Dr. Randall J. Webb stated when he became Northwestern State Uni-versity’s 17th president in July of 1996 that his primary objective would be to help make his Alma Mater the best institution it could be. It is apparent after 16 years that Webb is achieving that admirable goal. Enrollment has reached record levels during Webb’s tenure as president and exceeded 10,500 for the first time in history in the fall of 2004. Webb has also been at the forefront in recent years of moving the university to-ward higher admission standards, which has resulted in some enrollment declines but in the enrollment of students with greater academic potential

and aptitude. Retention has increased at the university, the average ACT score of students has gone up, and high school student leaders are enrolling in Northwestern in record numbers. There has been a substantial increase in the number of high school valedictorians and salutatorians among first-time freshmen at the university. External funding for NSU has also increased dramatically under Webb’s leadership. In the first capital campaign in its history, the university received $32.7 million to far exceed its goal of $18.84 million. That funding included the establishment of numerous endowed chairs and professorships to enhance academic programs at the university. In addition to the private funding, Northwestern has received more grant mon-ies in recent years from state and federal agencies and private foundations than at any time since its founding in 1884. Webb has also expanded the university’s outreach by spearheading the development at NSU of the largest electronic education and distance learning network of any university in Louisiana. NSU offers courses and degree programs to students across the nation and world through Internet and compressed video. Millions of dollars have been obtained during Webb’s presidency for new and renovated facilities. A new $6.9 million Wellness, Recreation and Activity Center opened on the campus in 2005; and Morrison Hall, the Family and Consumer Sciences Building, and Williamson Hall have been completely renovated and restored. A new Student Services Center on the site of the former West Caspari Hall was completed in May 2012. Over $32 million in construction by a private company has added two modified residence halls to the campus in recent years. Funding has also been obtained to rebuild the East Caspari Hall and replace the underground electrical distribution system. Northwestern academic programs and athletic teams continue to receive positive national recognition. The Computer Information Systems program, for example, won five consecutive national championships in academic competition in systems analysis, and the NSU men’s basketball team defeated Iowa in the NCAA national championship tournament. A former center on the Northwestern football team, Webb is an avid supporter of the university’s athletic programs and has held positions of leadership at the national level in intercollegiate athletics. He has served as chair of the board of direc-tors of the Southland Conference and has been a member of the prestigious NCAA Execu-tive Council and the NCAA Division I Board of Directors that oversee all major policy deci-sions by the governing body for major college sports. He currently serves as the Southland Conference representative on the NCAA Presidential Advisory Group. A 1965 graduate of Northwestern in mathematics and business education, Webb earned a master of science degree in mathematics from NSU in 1966. He received a doctorate in education from the University of Southern Mississippi in 1971 with a concentration in mathematics and research. Webb was a member of the faculty of Longwood College in Farmville, Va, from 1966 until 1974. He served as Director of Higher Education and Teacher Certification in the Louisiana Department of Education from 1974 through 1976. He moved to Southeastern Louisiana University in 1976 and in 13 years there held positions as director of institutional research, EEO officer, registrar and member of the mathematics faculty. He became Dean of Instruction and Graduate Studies and professor of mathematics at Northwestern in 1989. In that position, he was responsible for campus-wide policy development, planning, advancement, and review of both graduate and undergraduate pro-grams. While Webb was in that position, graduate enrollment increased by 35 percent, and internal funding for faculty research increased by 200 percent. As dean, Webb proposed the concept for NSU’s successful Freshman Connection Pro-gram and served as a member of the writing team for a grant proposal that resulted in a five year, $1.7 million Title III grant to improve student retention. He also chaired the steering committee for NSU’s Self Study for the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. He has been active in the community as a member of the board of directors of the Natchitoches Chamber of Commerce and as a member of the Association for the Preserva-tion of Historic Natchitoches, the Natchitoches Historic Foundation, the Natchitoches-Northwestern Symphony Society, Rotary Club, and the First Baptist Church. Webb and his wife Brenda have two daughters, both honor graduates of Northwestern. Tamara and her husband, former NSU All-America baseball pitcher Reggie Gatewood, live in Long Valley,N.J., with their children Tyler and Ava. Lauren is married to former out-standing NSU baseball player Nick Simokaitis, and they live in St. Louis with their sons Nicholas and Benjamin.

Jerry PierceVice President • External Affairs Jerry Pierce is the Cal Ripken of the Northwestern State ath-letic program. Day after day, year after year, Pierce is in the lineup, fielding his position with aplomb, and delivering at the plate, knocking a ball out of the park from time to time but always taking an understated profile, seeing himself as a role player. In 48th year on the university’s staff, Pierce’s impact on NSU and the city of Natchitoches can’t be measured as easily as Rip-kin’s Baseball Hall of Fame statistics, but they are equally indel-

ible. He begins his 22nd year as vice president of external affairs at Northwestern. A significant aspect of his job is oversight of intercollegiate athletics. Pierce works closely with athletic direc-tor Greg Burke and all NSU coaches and staff members to keep Northwestern athletics compet-ing at a championship level week after week, month after month and year after year. Pierce is an avid tennis player who has been a member of USTA teams that have won more than a dozen state championships, five regional titles and one national championship. Well before moving into the executive position, Pierce had already served his alma mater,

adopted hometown and state with distinction. In his role as vice president, he oversees university operations in athletics, alumni and development, public and media relations and assists President Dr. Randall J. Webb in governmental affairs activities. Many of those duties were his since the 1970s as he worked under four pre-vious presidents as Northwestern advanced from NAIA to NCAA College Division to NCAA Division I athletic status in 1977. A 1961 graduate of Northwestern, Pierce served as trainer for the Demon football team during his college years, working closely with legendary coach Jack Clayton. After earning his jour-nalism degree, Pierce went to work for the New Orleans Times Picayune, serving as a reporter and editor. He was named execu-tive sports editor at the age of 24. In 1965, he chose to raise his two sons in Natchitoches and returned to NSU as sports information director. He was promoted to news bureau director two years later and assumed additional responsibilities in athletics, alumni affairs and other areas through the years. He founded, in 1972, the Louisiana Sports Hall of Fame facil-ity in Prather Coliseum on the NSU campus, providing a home for an entity created in 1958. He established annual induction activi-ties that remain in place nearly four decades later, and served as di-rector of the Hall for 19 years until his promotion to vice president forced him to step aside from the volunteer post. He helped guide Northwestern into three athletic confer-ences (Trans America, 1979; Gulf Star, 1983; Southland, 1987) and NCAA Division I status in 1977. He is a past president of the Southland and has served the conference through other offices and committee positions.

In 1994, he was named one of Louisiana’s 20 most influential sports figures by the Times-Picayune. Also on the list were New Orleans Saints owner Tom Benson, LSU athletic director Joe Dean and basketball coach Dale Brown, and Grambling football coaching legend Eddie Robinson. His salesmanship and managerial skills were instrumental in convincing Tri-Star Productions to film the 1989 smash hit movie Steel Magnolias, with an all-star cast including Julia Roberts, Sally Field and Dylan McDermott in Natchitoches and on the NSU campus. The movie’s impact on tourism in Natchitoches continues to resonate more than two decades later. Pierce is regarded as one of the most effective legislative liaisons for Louisiana’s higher education system. He is also a popular after dinner speaker and master of ceremonies who has spoken at hundreds of events since 1965. In addition to his administrative responsibilities, Pierce is a member of the Journalism De-partment faculty. He is the author of one book and editor of two others and has written thou-sands of editorials, columns, features and other articles for newspapers and magazines. Pierce and his wife Regina, a teacher, live on Cane River Lake in Natchitoches. He has two sons, Randy and Rick, both NSU graduates; and three grandchildren, twins Evan and Amanda, 22, and Miranda, 11, and two stepchildren, Nicholas and Natalie.

In his 17th year as director of athletics at Northwestern State, Greg Burke has received national acclaim for the job he’s done in his adopted hometown. Burke has been athletics director at Northwestern since Aug. 29, 1996, when his first day included speaking at the annual NSU/Independence Bowl Kickoff Luncheon.

Burke is the longest serving AD at any Louisiana institution. He has steered NSU athletics to many of its greatest accomplishments while overseeing a program that has fielded championship caliber teams in nearly all of the school’s NCAA Division I sports. Two years ago, he was included among 29 winners of the Under Amour AD of the Year Award presented by the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA). He was also among four winners chosen to be involved in a Street and Smith’s SportsBusiness Journal panel discussion on current Division I athletics issues. Joining NSU’s Burke were Purdue’s Morgan Burke (no relation), Samford’s Bob Roller and Lee Fowler of North Carolina State, with the transcript of their discussion distributed to national media by the Sports Business Daily. Burke just completed a term as the 2010-11 president of the Football Championship Subdivision Athletics Directors Association. Burke’s 16 years as athletic director include 32 Southland Conference regular-season or tournament championships, 54 All-American and Academic All-American student athletes, and three U.S. Olympic competitors. Seventeen NSU teams have taken part in NCAA or WNIT postseason competition. Under his guidance, Northwestern State has led all 13 public institutions in Louisiana, and all 12 Southland Conference institutions, in the NCAA’s Academic Progress Rate and Graduation Success Rate reports. The school’s athletic facilities have undergone nearly $7 million in improvements in the past four years. NSU in 2004-05 became the first (and remains the only) Southland Conference member in the league’s five decades of history to sweep football, men’s basketball and baseball championships in the same athletic year. It’s been done only once in Southeastern Conference history, by Alabama in 1933-34, and only four times in Big Ten Conference history, the last time by Michigan State in 1979-80. Those accomplishments have come with one of the more modest athletic budgets in the state and conference. Burke’s management skill and fundraising ability have been pivotal. Burke generated a $2 million series of sponsorships for new scoreboards installed for 2008-09 at all NSU athletic venues and spearheaded the $700,000 Second Century Circle fencing project for athletic venues. Burke has displayed a remarkable ability to hire dynamic head coaches, including several whose success at Northwestern State has propelled them to national prominence in subsequent positions. From his first day on the job, Burke has stressed the importance of having a balanced athletic program. To that end, tremendous competitive strides have been made in women’s athletics under his guidance. The NSU soccer program was the first one in Louisiana ever to reach the NCAA Tournament and remains the only one with multiple appearances. Volleyball set attendance records and has made its best-ever showings in conference play in recent years. In softball, NSU posted the nation’s most improved win total in 2010 regular-season play under second-year coach Donald Pickett, and moved among league contend-ers in 2011. The Lady Demons joined Stanford as the only women’s tennis programs in the country in 2010 with only one regular-season loss, while sweeping Southland regular-season and tournament titles and making a first-ever NCAA Team Tournament appearance. While on-field success by Demon and Lady Demon teams has been a source of pride for NSU supporters, Burke is equally proud of the tone which has been set within the NSU athletic program as it relates to academic achievement and community service. The academic accomplishments are reflected annually in the NCAA’s APR and GSR studies. Community service by NSU student-athletes, coaches and staff more than doubled to over 5,000 hours in 2009-10 and remained at that level in 2010-11. Burke spearheaded the adoption of the slogan “Great Tradition, Brighter Future” for NSU Athletics, and the creation of NSU Athletics “Cornerstones” for student-athletes: “Academic Achievement, Personal Responsibility, Competitive Success … Every Minute, Every Hour, Every Day!” In 2005, Burke was one of three recipients of the All-America Football Foundation’s Gen. Robert R. Neyland Outstanding Athletic Director Award and that same year, was also tabbed as one of two Natchi-toches Parish Cenla Newsmakers of 2005 by the Alexandria Town Talk newspaper’s editorial staff. He received the 2006 “Outstanding Alumni Award” from his alma mater, Marlington High School in Alliance, Ohio, recognizing his community service and professional achievements. Burke became one of only 21 alumni honored since the award was instituted in 1982. In June 2006, he was a featured speaker and panelist at the National Association of Collegiate Ath-letic Directors convention in New Orleans, addressing members of the College Athletic Business Man-agers of America and also participating in a panel discussion of “Fundraising from an Athletic Director’s Perspective” speaking to the National Association of Athletic Development Directors. Since 2007, Burke has been a member of the prestigious NCAA Championships/Sports Manage-ment Cabinet, a 49-person panel which makes recommendations to the NCAA Board of Directors on key issues facing Division I athletics. He previously served a four-year term on the NCAA Division I Football Issues Committee (1999-2002) and concurrently served a term on the eight-member NCAA FCS Committee that administers the national playoffs. Since his committee term expired, Burke has served as a site supervisor for Foot-ball Championship Subdivision playoff games across the nation and he is regarded as one of the country’s premiere advocates of FCS football. In 2004 and 2011, NSU received the highest possible rating, “fully certified,” from the National Collegiate Athletic Association, affirming that Northwestern operates its athletic program in substantial conformity with operating principles adopted by the NCAA Division I membership. Burke is a past president of the Natchitoches Kiwanis Club and remains active in that civic group. He has also been part of the steering committee for the Natchitoches Christmas Festival and is a former president of the Natchitoches Area Jaycees. He is involved with the American Heart Association and was 2010 March of Dimes chairman locally. He and his wife, Susu, is a Natchitoches native, NSU graduate and an elementary teacher. Their 18-year-old daughter, Catherine, graduated from St. Mary’s High School in May of 2012 and is attending Louisiana Tech.

Since 2006, he has served as Faculty Athletic Representative for NSU. This role includes the chair of the NSU Athletic Council. Since 2006, Northwestern State University has made nu-

merous paradigm shifts in how it addresses the needs of student-athletes; however, one thing has been consistent in that its student-athletes are winners on the field and in the classroom. All have heard about higher educational institutions being penalized by the NCAA for academic improprieties. NSU has attempted to be a model program of “Do-ing Things the Right Way,” by following the Athletic Department motto: Great Tradition – Brighter Future. This past year, NSU was one of only four schools in the State of Loui-siana that did not receive any penalties for low NCAA Academic Progress Rates (APR) with baseball, soccer, softball, tennis, women’s indoor & outdoor track, and volleyball rating in the top three in the Southland Conference. Among the 40 Northwestern State student-athletes and athletic staff members who graduated in spring 2010, 10 of the 20 receiving undergraduate degrees graduated either cum laude or magna cum laude. Graduation rates of student-athletes in soccer, volleyball, men’s basketball, baseball and football ranked in the top four of the Conference. These accomplishments could not have been achieved without the support and efforts of the student-athletes, coaches, faculty, and administration. Also, Jody is the Director for the Louisiana Addiction Technology Transfer Center at NSU. He has served on the National Addiction Technology Transfer Center’s (ATTC) - Practice and National Leadership Institute Committee. In addition, he has coordinated five nationally recognized leadership institutes for Louisiana, Texas and New Mexico and a member of the National ATTC Leadership Directors Committee.
