All of Smith s points against the Spartans came in the first half.

7 Dickey Nutt s expectations for his first year at Southeast Missouri State University are simple -- Win games, recruit men with outstanding character, and graduate young people. Nutt, who hails from Little Rock, Ark., was introduced as the 19th head coach in State basketball history on March 12, He comes from a thick coaching bloodline and brings a level of enthusiasm and passion for basketball which is downright contagious. First of all, I am very privileged to be the next coach at Southeast Missouri State University and I feel that sincerely every day, said Nutt. I believe we will build this program the right way with good young men who take a lot of pride in being Redhawks and want to obtain a degree from this university. Prior to taking over the Southeast helm, Nutt spent over two decades at Arkansas State University. He worked as an assistant coach from before serving as head coach from Nutt compiled an overall record of and in the Sun Belt Conference en route to becoming the second-winningest coach in ASU history and posting the second-most career victories in the Sun Belt Conference. He guided the then-indians to two Sun Belt Conference regular-season titles (1998, 2007) and one Sun Belt Tournament crown (1999). Nutt was named the Sun Belt s Coach-of-the- Year (1998) once and National Basketball Coaches Association District 9 Coach-of-the-Year (1998, 1999) twice, as well. Utilizing his dynamic and congenial personality, strong family background and rich home-grown work ethic, Nutt accomplished what no other coach in ASU history has been able to do -- take the Indians to the NCAA Tournament. Nutt did just that when he guided ASU to an record and its only NCAA Tournament berth in The Indians lost, 80-50, to Utah in the first round of the Midwest Regional (New HEAD COACH DICKEY NUTT 4Oklahoma State, 1982 FIRST YEAR Orleans, La.) that year. Nutt and his staff claimed three Sun Belt Conference titles. Nutt also saw 10 of his players earn all-conference honors and five garner all-tournament accolades in the Sun Belt. In addition, he had at least one player named Sun Belt Conference Player-of-the- Year, Defensive Player-of-the-Year and Newcomer-of-the-Year under his tutelage. However, Nutt s life isn t all about college basketball. His love for children and dedication to community service has prompted he and his wife, Cathy, to make several charitable donations over the years. One of the more notable donations they made was in 2001 to the local Jonesboro Parker Community Center gymnasium, a place where area kids can go to play basketball instead of roaming the streets. He and Cathy offered up half the funds if the city would match their donation to help finish those basketball courts. Nearly 500 kids - boys and girls - joined basketball teams at the community center when the project was complete. Nutt, who is also well-known for his contributions to schools and churches, is an avid speaker at a number of functions, including camps and clinics, to this day. Nutt began his collegiate coaching career at Oklahoma State under Leonard Hamilton (current head coach at Florida State) with then-assistants Tim Carter (current head coach at South Carolina State) and Bill Self (current head coach at Kansas). He also played four years for the Cowboys, who, at the time, were members of the Big 8 Conference. Nutt landed his first head coaching job at Arkansas State in He was the 14th men s basketball coach in ASU s 80-year basketball history. Before that, he spent eight seasons as the Indians top assistant coach. Nutt bears one of the most recognizable names in college basketball and comes from one of the nation s most respected sports families. He is the second of four sons to Houston and Emogene Nutt. Houston Sr., who passed away in the spring of 2005, was the longtime athletic director and basketball coach at the Arkansas School for the Deaf in Little Rock. Houston Sr., was often seen at athletic events supporting all four sons. Dickey s oldest brother, Houston, is currently in his second season as head football coach at Ole Miss. Houston also served as head football coach at Murray State ( ), Boise State (1997) and Arkansas ( ). Meanwhile, Danny Nutt was the Razorbacks running backs coach from and is presently Ole Miss Assistant Athletics Director for Player Development. Dennis was the head basketball coach at Texas State for six years and is now a scout for the NBA s Charlotte Bobcats. The Nutt coaching foursome was featured in an article in Sports Illustrated back in Dickey is married to the former Cathy Thompson of Oklahoma City and they have two sons, Logan and Lucas, and one daughter, Lexis. Logan is a junior at Ole Miss, Lucas is a freshman at State and Lexis attends Cape Central High School. DICKEY NUTT S RECORD Year School Assignment Record Conf. Finish Postseason Stillwater H.S.
