22 OHIO VALLEY CONFERENCE Now in its 66th year, the Ohio Valley Conference continues to build on the success that has made it the nation s eighth-oldest NCAA Division I conference. The school year saw a change in leadership as Beth DeBauche was named the seventh full-time Commissioner in league history on July 28, She is currently one of just six females to be the head of a Division I conference, and one of just nine to lead a Division I conference all-time. The last three commissioners of the OVC have moved onto jobs as the commissioner of the Big Ten, Big 12 and the Mid-American Conferences. The OVC s proud history dates back to 1948, but seeds for the new league were actually planted in It was then that Roy Stewart, the athletics director at Murray State, Charles Turkey Hughes, the athletics director at Eastern Kentucky, and Kelly Thompson, the public relations director at Western Kentucky, first broached the idea of forming a new conference. Discussions were put on hold by World War II, but reemerged Feb , 1948 at the Kentucky Hotel in Louisville as the three original institutions combined with Morehead State, Louisville and Evansville to form the OVC. In 1955, the OVC became only the second sixmember league nationally to earn an automatic bid to the prestigious NCAA Men s Basketball Tournament, which, at that time, was limited to only 24 participants. The Conference quickly proved worthy of that bid, as Morehead State defeated Marshall (107-92) and Wayne State (95-84) in the 1956 tournament. Fifteen years later, former OVC member Western Kentucky became the first and only Conference team to reach the Final Four. The Hilltoppers defeated Jacksonville, Kentucky and Ohio State before losing to Villanova in double overtime in the national semifinals. WKU went on to finish in third place after beating Kansas in the consolation game. Since that time, the OVC has recorded some of the biggest upsets in the history of the NCAA Tournament. Perhaps the most famous moment came in 1987, when Austin Peay came from fourth place in the regular season to win the OVC Tournament and earn the league s automatic bid. The Governors drew powerful Illinois, and were such big underdogs, that ESPN broadcaster Dick Vitale promised to stand on his head if APSU won the game. After a victory over the Illini, and a narrow overtime loss to eventual Final Four participant Providence in the second round, Vitale made good on his promise in a visit to Clarksville two months later. Murray State added to the OVC s string of upsets in 1988 when it knocked off 14th-ranked North Carolina State, The Racers M&M Boys - Jeff Martin and Don Mann - combined for 39 points in the win. MSU nearly went on to the Sweet 16 that year, losing to eventual national champion Kansas, A bank shot by Mann that would ve given the Racers a one-point lead rolled off the rim with three seconds left. In 1990 as a No. 16 seed, Murray State took No. 1 seed Michigan State into overtime before falling 75-71; that game still marks the closest a No. 16 seed has come to knocking off a No. 1 in men s tournament action. More recently, Murray State has dominated the OVC Tournament, reaching the championship game every year in the 1990 s. The Racers 15 OVC Tournament Championships are the most among all OVC schools. In , Murray State made OVC history by winning a record 31 games (31-5) on its way to the league s regular season and tournament championships. In the first round of the NCAA Tournament, the No. 13 seed Racers topped Vanderbilt in thrilling fashion when senior Danero Thomas hit a jumper as time expired to lift MSU to a victory. It marked the first OVC team to advance to the second round of the NCAA Tournament since 1989, and snapped a skid of 71-straight loses to Southeastern Conference foes (dating back to ). In the second round the Racers pushed eventual national runner-up Butler to the brink before losing In Morehead State would make it three NCAA Tournament wins in as many years for the league and got a bit of revenge for the 2009 tournament loss to Louisville in the process. After finishing second in the regular season and winning the OVC Tournament Championship, the No. 13 seeded Eagles were shipped to Denver to play the in-state foe Cardinals. MSU jumped out to a 15-2 advantage but were down four points (61-57) with just over a minute to play in regulation. After two free throws from twotime OVC Player of the Year Kenneth Faried, the Eagles held for one final shot attempt and senior Demonte Harper pulled up off a cross-over dribble to nail a 3-pointer with 4.3 seconds left that gave Morehead State a lead. UofL had one last attempt but Faried blocked the Cardinals last shot, giving MSU the win. In Murray State put together one of the greatest seasons in OVC history, beginning the year 23-0 (an all-time OVC best) and being ranked as high as No. 7 in the coaches poll on Feb. 6. The squad was the first OVC team to be nationally-ranked since Murray State was ranked in ; in addition the top 10 ranking was the first for an OVC team since the campaign (WKU). The Racers would top nationally-ranked Memphis and Saint Mary s during the season and win the league s regular season and tournament championships. MSU earned a No. 6 seed in NCAA Tournament, the highest-ever seed for an OVC team since the NCAA began seeding the field in The Racers would top Colorado State in the second round before falling to Marquette in the third round. Murray State would win 31 games overall, tying the OVC alltime record the Racers set in After the Murray State win in , the league had won NCAA Tournament games in four-straight seasons, something that had never happened in league history (three-game winning streaks from and had been the previous best streaks). Over that time period ( ) the OVC was one of just nine conferences nationally to win a NCAA Tournament game in each season and one of only three non-bcs leagues (joining the Atlantic 10 and WCC) to do so. During the year Faried, the nation s leading rebounder during the season, became the NCAA s Modern Era (since 1973) career rebounding leader, totaling 1,673 rebounds which passed Tim Duncan for the record (he is 11th alltime in NCAA history). Faried also finished his career with 86 double-doubles, second all-time to only Duncan. He is one of only six players in NCAA history to finish with 2,000-plus career points (2,009) and 1,600-plus career rebounds. Faried was drafted 22nd overall by the Denver Nuggets in the 2011 NBA Draft, becoming the first OVC player selected in the first round since Tennessee State s Carlos Rogers In , UT Martin guard Lester Hudson became the first men s Division I player to record a quadruple-double in a game, when he registered 25 points, 12 rebounds, 10 assists and 10 steals in a victory over Central Baptist College. Hudson, who ranked fourth in scoring nationally as a junior, returned for his senior season in and was second nationally in scoring (behind Davidson s Stephen Curry) at 27.5 points a contest. Hudson earned numerous honors (including OVC Player of the Year and OVC Male Athlete of the Year in each 2008 and 2009 and All-American status from several outlets) before being drafted by the Boston Celtics with the No. 58 pick of the 2009 NBA Draft. The OVC sponsors the following sports: baseball, basketball, cross country, football, golf, tennis and track for men, and basketball, cross country, golf, soccer, softball, tennis, track and volleyball for women. In addition, the OVC also sponsors the combined men s and women s sport of rifle. Current league representatives include charter members Eastern Kentucky University, Morehead State University and Murray State University, along with Austin Peay State University, Belmont University, Eastern Illinois University, Jacksonville State University, Southeast Missouri State University, Southern Illinois University Edwardsville, Tennessee State University, Tennessee Technological University and the University of Tennessee at Martin.

23 COACHING/SUPPORT STAFF Skyhawk Men s Basketball

24 HEAD COACH JASON JAMES JASON J A M ES 22 HEAD COACH FIFTH SEASON GRACELAND, 2000 Jason James has been at the helm of The University of Tennessee at Martin men s basketball program since After spending seven seasons as an assistant coach at The University of Tennessee at Martin, including the role of associate head coach during the Ohio Valley Conference championship season, James was named the program s eighth head coach on June 5, James, a native of St. Louis, Mo., is one of the nation s youngest NCAA Division-I men s basketball head coaches, but his experience in the UT Martin program has prepared James for the challenge. This has always been my goal, ever since I was 10, the 35-year-old James said. My dad introduced me to basketball and he always coached me and my brothers. He had such a joy in coaching that he made me want to coach and influence young men just like he did. The Skyhawks made their second appearance in the OVC Tournament in four seasons under James in , compiling a 9-21 overall record with a 5-11 OVC mark. UT Martin fell by a narrow margin of seven points to Morehead State in the OVC Tournament, its fourth single-digit loss of the season. Once a fully healthy roster shaped into form in , UT Martin won five of eight games down the stretch to punch its ticket into the OVC Tournament. The Skyhawks downed OVC heavyweights Eastern Kentucky (25-10 record) at home and won on the road at OVC West champion Murray State (21-10) for the first time in program history. In , UT Martin faced a tough schedule that included 10 games against eight eventual teams who made the postseason, including NCAA Tournament teams Louisville (Final Four), Ohio (Sweet 16), Murray State (round of 32) and Lamar (round of 68). The Skyhawks posted a 4-27 overall record but eight losses were by single-digits, including a loss to No. 9 Murray State on Feb. 4. During the campaign, James coached OVC Freshman of the Year Myles Taylor. Taylor also earned OVC All-Newcomer accolades after taking home the league s Freshman of the Week award five times during the season. The Skyhawks soared to several new heights as a program in , tripling their UT Martin Men s Basketball win output from the previous season and winning their first OVC tournament game in Nashville in program history. UT Martin s success was atrributed to a steady blend of veterans and one of the most accomplished recruiting classes in program history. Senior Benzor Simmons led the team in scoring and became the program s 15th member of the 1,000 Point Club on Jan. 24, 2011 at SIU Edwardsville. The recruiting class all blossomed as well, as three Skyhawk freshmen combined to take home eight adidas OVC Freshman of the Week awards. That marked only the third time that one university has earned that many mentions in a single season since the league started giving out the award in the season. After five losses by single-digits in five of their first 16 games in including a narrow six-point loss at Tennessee on Dec. 29 the Skyhawks began clicking around midseason of the OVC schedule, reeling off a four-game win streak from Jan. 15 through Jan. 24. A month later, the Skyhawks clinched a spot in the OVC tournament with a dominating victory on the road against Eastern Illinois. In its OVC tournament opener, UT Martin earned a hard-fought victory over Tennessee State before falling to Tennessee Tech the eventual league runnerup Despite a 4-25 record, James posted several positives during his debut season as bench leader at UT Martin in against arguably one of the toughest schedules in the history of the program. In his ratings for the first week of December, noted college basketball journalist Ken Pomeroy ranked the Skyhawks as having the fourth-toughest non-conference strength of schedule in NCAA Division-I. The Skyhawks wound up playing up nine games against six teams that made the postseason in Despite the quality of opponents, seven of the team s losses were by 10 points or less as the Skyhawks battled injuries and was forced to play players out of position. A bit of history occured in late December of 2009, as the Skyhawks earned back-to-back Ohio Valley Conference Player of the Week accolades for just the second time in school history. Off the court, James players and staff go the extra mile to benefit the local community.

25 The basketball team regularly organizes a team for the West Weakley County Relay for Life every June, raising thousands of dollars. The Skyhawks also fought the ongoing battle with cancer through the Coaches vs. Cancer Suits and Sneakers event at home against Murray State in 2010 in a nationally-televised game on ESPN-U. In that collaboration, fans made donations for each three-pointer the team made in the month of January. Under James, the Skyhawks have also been involved in the Character Counts program in the Weakley County schools, the D.A.R.E program, and the Boys and Girls clubs in Union City. Over his tenure at UT Martin as an assistant coach, James was directly responsible in the recent resurgance of the Skyhawk program over the last several seasons. Since his first season on the Skyhawk bench in 2002, James has coached seven of UT Martin s 15 all-time 1,000 point scorers. He also recruited two of UT Martin s all-time great Division-I players in Jared Newson and Lester Hudson. Newson ranks fourth in all-time program history in points scored after playing just three seasons with the Skyhawks. Newson ranks in the top- 10 in seven different all-time career UT Martin categories, including points (1,347, fourth), field goals made (452, fifth), field goals attempted (1,016, fifth), free throws made (378, second), free throws attempted (526, first), rebounds (535, seventh), blocks (43, 10th) and steals (128, seventh). After he exhausted his eligibility at UT Martin, Newson attended training camp with the Dallas Mavericks before becoming an overseas fan favorite for his acrobatic slam-dunks in Germany. In Hudson, James found a diamond in the rough that became one of the best all-around players in the NCAA and eventually would be chosen by the Boston Celtics in the 2009 NBA Draft. In Hudson s collegiate debut, he torched eventual national runner-up Memphis for 35 points, but the legend of Hudson was just getting started. Just eight days later, Hudson grabbed national headlines when he became the firstever NCAA Division-I men s basketball player to record a quadruple-double (25 points, 12 rebounds, 10 assists, 10 steals) HEAD COACH JASON JAMES vs. Central Baptist on Nov. 13, Later that season, Hudson became the first-ever UT Martin player to be named an All-American since the program joined the Division-I ranks in That season, James helped guide the Skyhawks to a school-record for OVC wins in one season (11), as UT Martin won the OVC regular season championship for the first time ever. The Skyhawks also hosted and won a first-round OVC Tournament game for the first time in UT Martin history, before falling to eventualtournament champion Austin Peay by a single point (78-77). In that season the Skyhawks broke or tied 12 team and individual game/ season records, including most wins in a single season (22), and longest winning streak (11 games from Jan. 10 through Feb. 18). After winning its first-ever OVC regular-season championship, the Skyhawks earned a trip to the National Invitation Tournament (NIT), the first postseason appearance for a UT Martin team in its brief Division-I history. In that game, the Skyhawks hung tough with SEC member Auburn on Auburn s home floor before falling James coaching philosophy is simple: play the game the right way and the rest will fall into place. I tell the guys all the time performance counts, James said. Everybody is judged on their performance, rather that s fair or not. If we can show up and perform night in and night out, the wins and losses will take care of themselves. Our program is going to compete, fight, scratch and claw for 40 minutes. Off the court, James is an intense scholar of the game. He spends countless hours watching tape, studying other coaches and reading books about all phases of the game of basketball. James came to UT Martin from Forest Park Community College in St. Louis, Mo., where he was an assistant men s basketball coach for two years. The team finished second in the region James first Skyhawk Men s Basketball year, and many FPCC players during James tenure went on to play Division I and Division II basketball. Before his stint at Forest Park, James taught physical education and health for one year at Ritenour Middle School in St. Louis, while also coaching a high school all-star team from the state of Michigan that placed third out of 54 teams at the USA Junior Nationals. James earned his bachelor s degree in physical education and health with a coaching endorsement from Graceland University in Lamoni, Iowa in For two seasons he served as captain of the Graceland University basketball team. He was voted Graceland Freshman Basketball Player of the Year for the season and was named the team s MVP during the season. In the fall of 2010, James was enshrined in the fourth class of the Parkway Alumni Association Hall of Fame, as he was recognized for his contributions since graduating from Parkway West High School in St. Louis in James married the former Dani Walker of Oxford, Miss. in May 2010 and the couple has two daughters (Sadie and Claire) and a son (Austin). 23

26 ASSISTANT COACHES ASSISTANT HEAD COACH SECOND SEASON LYNN, 2002 LANCE E G N AT Z After spending his first season with the University of Tennessee at Martin men s basketball program last year as an assistant coach, Lance Egnatz now enters his second year with the Skyhawks as assistant coach and recruiting coordinator. His primary duties will be recruiting, scheduling, academics, scouting, on the floor coaching and the development of the post players along with assisting in all other aspects of the program. After my first season with the Skyhawks, I am looking forward to another year of hard and dedicated work with Coach James and the rest of the coaching staff in order to continue to improve our team and achieve our goals, Egnatz said. In Egnatz s first season at UT Martin, the Skyhawks battled injuries throughout the year but once a fully healthy roster shaped into form, the Skyhawks won five of eight games down the stretch to punch their ticket into the OVC Tournament. UT Martin downed OVC heavyweights Eastern Kentucky (25-10 record) at home and won on the road at OVC East champion Murray State (21-10) for the first time in program history. Lance is a very well-connected basketball mind who is willing to do what it takes to be successful, Skyhawk head coach Jason James said. In my mind, loyalty is a very important part of being in this profession and Lance is as loyal a guy as you will find. We all know that recruiting is a very important part of having a successful program and Lance has immersed himself in the recruiting process at a very high level. Our university will benefit from his hard work and dedication we are very fortunate to have Lance as a part of our program and our community. Prior to UT Martin, Egnatz spent four seasons as Lincoln Memorial University s top assistant. While at LMU, he was an intricate factor in a complete program turnaround and oversaw two of the winningest seasons in school history. In that span, Lincoln Memorial posted a 53-9 record and qualified for its first two NCAA Division-II Tournaments in program history. In addition to winning a conference title and a conference tournament title, they were the first team in that conference to ever reach the number 1 national ranking. Overall, he coached eight All-South Atlantic Conference players and two All-Americans in his tenure. In Egnatz s last season with the LMU Railsplitters, the team went 26-6 with a 14-4 South Atlantic Conference mark, and during the season, the team was ranked No. 1 in the nation for the first time in program history, while also setting the school record for scoring defense at 62.3 points per game. The previous season, in , Lincoln Memorial ranked as high as fifth in the country before finishing the season with a 27-3 record. The Railsplitters shattered program and conference records for victories (27), consecutive wins (22), winning percentage (.900) and conference wins (16). Before his stint at Lincoln Memorial, Egnatz was an assistant coach for two seasons at Polk State College in Winter Haven, Fla. In his final season at the Division-I junior college, the Eagles tallied a 24-6 record and earned a No. 4 ranking in the state of Florida. During his time there, he guided several prospects to NCAA Division-I and Division- II schools, including UT Martin s own Djero Riedewald. Egnatz began his coaching career at Somerset Academy in Pembroke Pines, Fla., where he served as head coach for one season following one year as an assistant. In addition to his basketball duties, he also served as assistant athletic director and strength coach to all 13 sports. During his time at the high school, he also helped build Somerset s athletic program from the ground up. Egnatz played collegiately at both Pennsylvania State Beaver and at Lynn University in Boca Raton, Fla. In addition to his basketball playing days, Egnatz also was a pitcher on the PSU Beaver baseball team, who advanced to the 1999 NJCAA World Series. Prior to that, as a high school player, Egnatz led the Seneca Valley (Pa.) High School basketball team to its first-ever postseason appearance. A Pittsburgh, Pa. native, Egnatz graduated from Lynn University with a degree in sports and recreational management in He will complete his Masters Degree in Sports Leadership from Duquesne University in May Egnatz, 35, is married to the former Juliette Schohn of Paris, France. They are expecting their first child in January UT Martin Men s Basketball

27 ASSISTANT COACHES ASSISTANT COACH FIRST SEASON LYON, 2003 DION R EA L Dion Real joined The University of Tennessee at Martin men s basketball program as an assistant coach on July 1, Real brings nine years of high school head coaching experience to the Skyhawks, including the last five seasons as head coach of Covington High School in northwest Tennessee. In those nine seasons, he has guided his team to four district championships and four runner-up finishes. Overall, Real compiled a record at four different high schools, with a mark (.730 winning percentage) against district rivals. I am very excited to be here at UT Martin, Real said. I am thankful for this opportunity given by Coach James and the UT Martin staff. Real replaces Cornelius Jackson on the Skyhawk bench, as Jackson accepted an assistant coaching job at Cleveland State University. When we lost Coach Jackson I wanted to replace him with a guy who is equally as smart and articulate as well as someone who has the same loyalty that Cornelius has, James said. I have definitely found that in Dion. I look forward to working with him this season and into the future. We are very fortunate to have him as a member of our Skyhawk family. James was familiar with Real s impressive body of work from his past five seasons at Covington, where he chalked up a record while capturing two consecutive district titles thanks to a 32-2 district record from Dion is a tireless worker and a very good basketball coach, James said. His teams have always played with a sense of urgency and discipline that I am very impressed with. He is well-connected in this area which will help him a lot on the recruiting trail. The things that stick out the most with Dion are his passion for the game and his care for the student-athletes that have played for him. These are two qualities which I find very important in being a successful coach. Real began as a head coach at Earle High School in Earle, Ark. in He led the Bulldogs to a pair of 20-win seasons and district championships, including 27 victories in the season alone. Real then made stops at Cairo (Ill.) High School in and Dyersburg (Tenn.) High School in before settling in at Covington. At Covington, Real registered at least 23 victories in four of his seasons at the helm. Under Real, the Chargers went undefeated in district play (16-0) in He was named the District 13-AA Coach of the Year in both and Real has been selected as the head coach for the West Tennessee All-Star Game on three different occasions (2008, 2009, 2013). He also served as a head coach on the AAU circuit in Batesville, Ark. and Memphis, Tenn. before founding and directing the AAU team located in Covington in the spring of A native of Poinsett County, Ark., Real played collegiately for four years at Lyon College under head coach Kevin Jenkins. He graduated in 2003 with a bachelor of arts degree in history while earning his Masters degree in educational leadership from Arkansas State University in Real is married to Kacee Real and the couple has one daughter, Kennedy Skyhawk Men s Basketball 25

28 ASSISTANT COACHES ANDRES I R A R R A Z A B A L 26 ASSISTANT COACH THIRD SEASON A four-year letterman at UT Martin ( ), Andres Irarrazabal has been on the Skyhawk coaching staff since We are very fortunate to have Andres back on staff, UT Martin head coach Jason James said. He has been through a wide range of things during his career here and that experience will help this year s team through their journey. Andres was a very hard-working, loyal player and he has been the same as an assistant. He has a bright future in this profession and I am grateful to have him back to counsel and teach these young players. Irarrazabal spent the season as a graduate assistant before being promoted to a full-time assistant coach in the summer of I am very grateful and excited for this opportunity, Irarrazabal said. I look forward to continuing to grow as a coach, but more importantly working with the rest of the coaching staff to help our team be prepared for the upcoming basketball season. Irarrazabal has been crucial in the development of Skyhawk forward Myles Taylor, who would go on to win 2012 OVC Freshman of the Year accolades as well as OVC All-Newcomer honors in Irarrazabal s first season. Taylor would finish sixth in the league in both scoring (16.2 points per game) and rebounding (7.2 per game) in , a year where the Skyhawks made the OVC Tournament. A Fort Lauderdale, Fla. native, Irarrazabal played two seasons under James at UT Martin. Overall, Irarrazabal played in 108 games, starting in 42 games. He brings a winning pedigree to the table, as he is one of just three players in Skyhawk history to have played in six Ohio Valley Conference tournament games (along with former teammates Benzor Simmons and Daron Hood). Known during his playing career for his all-around knowledge of the game, Irarrazabal graduated as one of four players in UT Martin men s basketball history to have tallied at least 300 points, 300 rebounds, 50 assists, 50 blocks and 40 steals while shooting 50 percent or better from the floor for a career. He joined Will Lewis ( ), Jeremy Sargent ( ) and Ryan DeMichael ( ) in that elite group. Irarrazabal was a sophomore reserve on the program s first-ever OVC championship squad in , when the Skyhawks went with a 14-4 OVC record. That team broke or tied 12 UT MARTIN, UT Martin Men s Basketball school records en route to the program s firstever postseason berth, falling in a nearupset of Auburn in the first round of the National Invitation Tournament. As a senior in , Irarrazabal was a big part of UT Martin s resurgence, as the Skyhawks tripled their win output from the previous season. He was one of the team s most reliable players, playing in all 33 contests while starting in the final 27 games of the season. He led the team in field goal percentage (.574) and blocks (23) and also led the team in rebounds on eight different occasions. His best career game came on Jan. 20, 2011 against Southeast Missouri, when he set career-highs for points (15) and rebounds (11) for his first career double-double. Before joining UT Martin, Irarrazabal was a McDonald s All-American nominee at Sagemont High School, averaging 17 points, 12 rebounds, four assists and three blocks per game. He was named to the Miami Herald and Sun Sentinal s all-county teams for three straight years while also earning second team all-state honors. Irarrazabal graduated from UT Martin in the spring of 2011 with a degree in business and is currently pursuing a Master s in business administration. He married the former Abbie Turbeville of Dresden, Tenn. in August 2013.

29 ASSISTANT COACHES GRADUATE ASSISTANT SECOND SEASON PARK, 2012 MARK H A L S E L L Mark Halsell is in his second season on The University of Tennessee at Martin men s basketball coaching staff as a graduate assistant. One word that I would use to describe Mark is hungry, Skyhawk head coach Jason James said. He wants to be taught the tools to achieve his goals. I have known Mark for a long time and he comes from basketball, he grew up in the game and has seen competition at a very high level. He has come here with the right attitude and has made an immediate impact in our program. Mark is an anything guy he will do anything that is asked of him to help us be successful. Programs need those types of people. Mark has a bright future in this profession. Halsell s first season at UT Martin resulted in an Ohio Valley Conference tournament appearance, the ninth such appearance in program history.

The Pirates made a pair of NAIA national tournament appearances in Halsell s first two seasons ( , ). Overall, Halsell played in 51 games over three years at Park. During his tenure, the Pirates went overall with a conference record. I am grateful to be joining the coaching staff, Halsell said. I am looking forward to the opportunity to work with Coach James and the rest of the coaching staff. Halsell was born in Midwest City, Okla., but played high school basketball at Skyhawk Men s Basketball St. Charles High School in St. Charles, Mo. Playing alongside current NBA player Josh Harrellson, Halsell and the Pirates advanced to the Missouri state semifinals in During his senior season, Halsell averaged eight points, three rebounds, three assists and a steal for head coach Gary Wacker. Off the court, Halsell was a standout performer in the classroom. He was one of only 61 men s basketball recipients of the Daktronics-NAIA Scholar-Athlete award in , the highest individual academic honor an NAIA student-athlete can receive. He also earned numerous academic accolades throughout his high school career. Halsell s family also has an athletic background, as his parents Mark and Vicki played college basketball at Park. His cousin Tray Allen also played football at the University of Texas. Halsell graduated from Park with a degree in management and finance in

31 SEASON PREVIEW Skyhawk Men s Basketball

32 SEASON OUTLOOK Early in the summer, University of Tennessee at Martin head men s coach Jason James took a look at his roster and envisioned a new brand of basketball. With 11 returners who accounted for 86 percent of the team s scoring from a year ago, he decided to loosen the reigns and let his players adapt to a new playing style. We are changing our style to play at a much faster pace, said James, who enters his fifth season at the helm of the Skyhawk program. That means more pressing on the defensive end. We have a group now of good team defenders who can help each other to get a stop when we need to get over the hump. Offensively, we are at our best when we are getting up and down the floor in transition and creating easy baskets. With our team being so athletic, I think this new style Already the program s seventh all-time leading scorer, senior swingman Mike Liabo will look to round out his four-year career as one of UT Martin s all-time greatest offensive threats. will benefit us greatly instead of us walking the ball up the floor. Of course, to get up-and-down the floor and wreak havoc on the defensive end, the necessary personnel is required. James believes this year s version of the Skyhawks will benefit greatly from its stacked depth, especially at the guard slots. This group is up there with the most talented backcourts I have had since I ve been here, James said. From a talent standpoint, it s close. We have had the most production from that position the last few years and they are our most experienced bunch. The aforementioned backcourt includes six upperclassmen who combined to log 77 starts last season. Those upperclassmen returners include Mike Liabo (the program s seventh all-time leading scorer with 1,229 points), Terence Smith (13.8 points per game over the final 12 games of ), Justin Childs (10 double-figure scoring games last season), Bobby Jones (at least two 3-pointers made in seven games in ), Omari Minor (49 career starts at point guard) and Khristian Taylor (six starts at point guard last season). Sophomore Dee Oldham is also included in the group of backcourt returners following a steady freshman season. Oldham seems poised for a breakout season and has been one of the team s most pleasant offseason surprises, according to James. DeMarc Richardson also returns after making 13 starts and often defending the opposition s best guard as a freshman. James also added another valuable backcourt presence with the signing of Marshun Newell in the summer. A 6-3, 195-pound combo guard out of Southwest Tennessee Community College, Newell has also been one of the team s most impressive players in the preseason after he was named the No. 80 junior college player in the nation by JUCORecruiting.com. Marshun will play some point and we expect him to help us out in that area, James said. He can play both guard spots and will help out on the ball, handling it and making plays for his teammates. He can also move off the ball and score some for us he has the talent to challenge for OVC Newcomer of the Year honors. The backcourt will be highlighted by program stalwarts Liabo and Smith, who both entered the program together in A 6-6, 195-pound senior, Liabo ranks as one of the most prolific scorers in the Ohio Valley Conference in his tenure. Despite battling injuries for the majority of the past two seasons, he has cracked double-figures in the scoring column in 71 of his 93 career games, including 13 games of 20-plus points. Mike will go down as one of the program s most accomplished players from this era, James said. His attitude has been very good, his mentality has been good and he is taking his preparation more seriously. He got his hip healthier and he lost some weight to get his body right. He is being positive and his whole UT Martin Men s Basketball

33 SEASON OUTLOOK Redshirt junior guard Terence Smith will see most of his time off the ball but will be called upon to be a playmaker at the end of close games. maturation process is right on track. I am proud of the way he s prepared himself mentally and physically for his last year of college. Smith has also been hampered by injuries over the past two seasons but enters at full strength. The 6-4, 195-pound redshirt junior has shown the ability to take over games in his brief Skyhawk career and has registered at least 15 points in 13 games in less than two full seasons. We are moving Terence off the ball but late in games we want the ball in his hands because he can do so much with it, James said. This is the first time in a while that he can consistently lift weights and get in the gym. It s exciting that he has finally been able to take the smaller steps to get ready for games. You get reminded of how good he can be on a daily basis. With all the buzz about the Skyhawks guard play, the biggest question since last March has been the health of junior forward Myles Taylor, who tore his ACL on the final day of the regular season and was forced to miss the OVC Tournament. Despite the uncertainty of his condition, the league s head coaches and sports information directors voted Taylor on the Preseason All-OVC squad after he has racked up 13 games of 20-plus points to go along with 10 career double-doubles. Myles hasn t been cleared yet and we are not sure of his return date, James said. With Myles on the floor, our team will be totally different he adds a whole new dimension with his ability to score and rebound. That s an adjustment that we will have to make. We just need to keep Myles mind right mentally and physically for that day when he is cleared, whenever that may come. With the absence of Taylor, the Skyhawks will rely heavily on a pair of returners and a pair of newcomers to head their post play. Junior Tobias Dowdell, senior Pierre Mopo and incoming freshmen Javier Martinez and Chandler Rowe all stand at 6-7 and will vie each other for playing time. Our post position will be by committee while Myles is out, James said. We need Javier to step up he has a big, strong body and he is ready to play right now. Tobias will also fill some of that void because he is very active. Chandler is young but he is learning we will need to get him some minutes early so he can get experience. Pierre needs to get his body in shape but we expect to see him out there too. Once a fully healthy roster took to form, UT Martin showed signs of its potential late last season. In the span of a month, the Skyhawks knocked off OVC heavyweights Eastern Kentucky (who would win 25 games on its way to a postseason berth) at home and would win at OVC West champion Murray State (21 wins) for the first time in program history. The schedule is just as tough in , as UT Martin will travel approximately 13,000 miles to complete its 31 games this season. The Skyhawks will play in 11 states (Alabama, Arkansas, Colorado, Florida, Illinois, Kentucky, Missouri, Nevada, South Carolina, Tennessee and Wyoming), with the longest trip slated for a game at UNLV on Nov. 30. However, with so many familiar names dotting the roster, expectations are running high for the Skyhawks. Sporting News magazine selected UT Martin to finish second in the OVC West race in its preseason rankings. If we play the way we want to play and play consistently, we have a chance to beat anybody, James said. We are experienced and have good guard play and those are two things that can help you win games. We just need to be consistent we have struggled with that in the past but our guys have been working on that and are focused. We are ready to roll Skyhawk Men s Basketball 31

49 SEASON RECAP Skyhawk Men s Basketball

50 SEASON REVIEW The University of Tennessee at Martin men s basketball team battled through injuries and finally began to click on all cylinders once a fully healthy lineup was intact, ending with a stretch of five wins in eight games to seal the program s ninth appearance in the Ohio Valley Conference tournament. The season began with a pair of tough road matchups. In the seasonopener at Arkansas-Little Rock, the Skyhawks trailed by only five points with 4:23 remaining before falling Little Rock natives Myles Taylor (24 points) and Jeremy Washington (10) accounted for exactly half of UT Martin s scoring output. Two days later, the Skyhawks headed to Cincinnati to take on a squad that returned 10 players from its 2011 Sweet 16 squad. UT Martin forced the Bearcats into 19 turnovers but it wasn t enough as No. 24 Cincinnati won A three-game homestand followed, Myles Taylor ranked sixth in the OVC in both scoring (16.2 points per game) and rebounding (7.2 per game) while scoring in double-figures on 27 different occasions in as the Skyhawks earned their first victory of the season with an win over Fontbonne. Newcomer Bobby Jones made his presence felt with 26 points, eight rebounds and five steals to lead UT Martin. Two days later, the Skyhawks left it all on the floor but came up just short in a heartbreaking triple overtime loss to Arkansas State. UT Martin would recover with a victory over Lyon College on Nov. 20. The Skyhawks closed out November with two more difficult road tests, falling at Bradley and to national power Memphis. UT Martin would open December with a thrilling home victory over Kennesaw State, as Justin Childs converted the game-winning bucket on a reverse layup with two seconds remaining. The injury bug then began to hit the Skyhawks and a seven-game losing streak followed. After a loss to defending OVC champion Murray State on Jan. 3, UT Martin had five players miss time due to an injury and had trotted out 10 different starting lineups in the first 15 games, with a dozen different Skyhawks logging at least one start. UT Martin would get back in the win column on Jan. 5 with a overtime victory over Austin Peay. Taylor capped off a 19-point, 13-rebound effort with a pair of game-winning free throws with 0.1 seconds on the clock. The Skyhawks then faced three road games in two weeks and a fourgame losing streak followed until UT Martin was finally back at full strength at SIU Edwardsville on Jan. 26. As a result, the Skyhawks won three of their next four - including an impressive home win over Eastern Kentucky, who would go on to win 25 games on its way to a postseason CIT berth. After losses to Southeast Missouri and Tennessee Tech, the Skyhawks would once again find their groove - turning away Longwood in the 11th annual BracketBusters event. Mike Liabo flirted with a tripledouble (15 points, nine assists, eight rebounds) in the victory. A monumental victory then followed, as UT Martin led for nearly 35 minutes of game time in a victory at Murray State. That marked the first win for UT Martin in 23 tries all-time in Murray. The regular season finale at Austin Peay was bittersweet. Due to a SIU Edwardsville loss earlier in the day, the Skyhawks clinched a spot in the OVC Tournament. However, UT Martin fell to the Governors and lost its best player Taylor with a torn ACL injury early in the game. Despite the crushing blow, the Skyhawks battled until the final buzzer against Morehead State in the first round of the OVC Tournament. However, UT Martin came up just short in a loss to finish the season 9-21 overall. Taylor ended the season with eight 20-plus point games for the Skyhawks and six double-doubles (four of which came against OVC opposition). Liabo became the 16th member of the program s 1,000 career point club on Dec. 29 at Southeast Missouri. He would conclude his junior campaign with 1,229 points to rank seventh on UT Martin s all-time scoring list. Terence Smith battled back from an injury suffered at Cincinnati to crack double-figures in the scoring column in six of his last eight games, including a career-best 26 points against Southeast Missouri on Feb. 16. As a team, UT Martin s 74.2 percent effort from the free throw line set a new school record, eclipsing the previous mark of 74.1 percent set by the squad UT Martin Men s Basketball

UT Martin led at the half but picked up the defensive intensity at the beginning of the second half, holding the Griffins without a field goal for 7:15 early on in the second stanza.

Myles Taylor collected his fifth career double-double (17 points, 11 rebounds), Mike Liabo added 11 points off the bench and Justin Childs dished out a game-high eight assists for the Skyhawks, who scorched the net for 59.4 percent (19-for-32) shooting in the last 20 minutes.

72 ALL-TIME HEAD COACHES JC HENSON FLOYD BURDETTE BOB PAYNTER ART TOLIS Ushering in the men s basketball era at UT Martin was James C. Henson. Henson, a former standout football player and track performer at Mississippi State, served in numerous capacities during his early years at UT Martin. He coached football and basketball, headed the Department of Physical Education, served as director of athletics and taught a chemistry class. Colleagues and students both remember his philosophy of life, good humor and amicable manner. In 1952, the UT Martin athletics department opened a new branch of the department that catered to only women s athletics, thanks in large part to Henson s funding. Henson also was at the helm of some of the most successful programs in school history - the men s tennis program. Henson won four Volunteer State Athletic Conference titles in the 1970 s. After coaching the team for three decades, Henson retired in Henson s presence is still very much around the UT Martin campus, as the Henson House overlooks the team s varsity tennis courts, and serves as an office for head coach Dennis Taylor as well as a dressing room, media room equipped with surround sound, a stringing room with three stringing machines, a full kitchen and a team meeting room. All in all, Henson served as athletics director from , and head coach of the football ( ), men s basketball ( ) and men s tennis ( ) squads. In 1984, Henson was the ninth member inducted into the UT Martin Athletics Hall of Fame. SEASONS: : 6-12 TOTAL: 6-12 (.333) The longest tenured coach in UT Martin history, Floyd Burdette was at the helm when UT Martin competed in the Volunteer State Athletic Conference. Burdette, who played basketball at UT Martin in the mid s, returned home to head the men s basketball program in A native of Martin, Burdette had served for seven years as the head basketball coach at the University of Alabama prior to his appointment at Martin. Burdette won the most games of any coach in UT Martin history (197), and posted a.500 record or better in nine of his 11 seasons in the VSAC. As the team prepared to exit the VSAC and enter the Mid-South Conference in 1970, Burdette s team stormed to three successive victories and the conference championship Burdette also was part of a major change in UT Martin athletics history in 1969, as he recruited Leonard Hamilton, who was the first African-American to suit up for a UT Martin athletics program.

Dykes. A native of Richmond, Ky., he received his bachelors degree from St. Mary s College in Minnesota, his master s degree from Eastern Kentucky University, and a doctorate in education from the University of Tennessee in Knoxville. His coaching experience included a 14-year stint as head coach at the University High School of East Tennessee State University. Paynter compiled three seasons with a.500 or better record, but could never reach that mark in GSC competition. Paynter did, however, coach eight different players to All-GSC honors. Paynter was responsible for Fred Sanders, Jim Martin and Larry Carter earning All-GSC first team accolades in his tenure, as well as guiding Jack Bendure, Marcus McLemore, Vic Quinn, Joe Biddie and Don Hubbard to All-GSC second team mentions in his tenure. In fact, Paynter was the man responsible for recruiting Hubbard, who ended his fouryear UT Martin career as the school s all-time leading scorer, reaching 1,124 points.

Tolis, who had served as an assistant coach at Louisiana State University for six years, was highly respected as a coach and a recruiter prior to his appointment at UT Martin by Chancellor Charles E. Smith and athletics director Ray Mears. In Tolis first season at the helm, he led UT Martin to five Gulf South Conference wins, which was the total of combined GSC wins the team had accumulated in the previous two seasons. Don Hubbard earned All-GSC second team honors in The team took off in Tolis second season, setting a program record for single-season overall wins (20) and GSC victories (nine). The team earned one of the program s biggest wins at the time, a drubbing of Mississippi State in Starkville on Dec. 12, In the season s 11 losses, only one loss was more than eight points, including an amazing seven losses by five points or less. Three of the team s losses came to GSC rival Livingston by a combined eight points, including the GSC Tournament championship game.

73 ALL-TIME HEAD COACHES TOM HANCOCK CAL LUTHER BRET CAMPBELL JASON JAMES 2009-present Leading the most successful stretch in UT Martin basketball history was Glen Ellyn, Ill. native Tom Hancock. Hancock had spent one season as an assistant coach at UT Martin before being promoted to head coach after the resignation of Art Tolis concluding the season. Hancock s first season was a season of many firsts in UT Martin program history, as the team broke or tied 19 school records en route to a programbest 21 win season, its first Gulf South Conference championship, and second consecutive NCAA Division II South Central Regional Tournament. Picked seventh out of eight teams in the preseason poll in , Hancock earned GSC Coach of the Year Honors and 6-7 junior center Jerry Davis was named GSC Player of the Year - both of which were the first time UT Martin was represented in those GSC categories. The Pacers went 17-1 at home and ranked No. 4 in the NCAA in defense, as Davis, Gus Rudolph and Mitch Stentiford were all named to the GSC s first team. Hancock would go on to post two more 20-win seasons and win one more GSC championship in the season. Overall, Hancock s teams shattered more than 40 records in his nine-year tenure, and his average of 19 wins per season are the highest of any UT Martin coach. SEASONS: 9 TOTAL GSC : : : : : : : : : TOTAL: (.520) (.471) Perhaps the most influential coach in UT Martin history was Cal Luther. Tabbed by UT Martin athletics director Don McLeary to guide the UT Martin program through the NCAA Division-I re-classification process, Luther had more than 30 years of coaching experience. After rebuilding DePauw (Ind.) to an Indiana Collegiate Conference championship, Luther moved on to Ohio Valley Conference member Murray State, where he was credited for laying the foundation for the program s success. At Murray State, Luther led the Racers to three OVC titles, was named OVC Coach of the Year three times, and earned a spot in the school s athletics Hall of Fame after leading the team to two NCAA Tournaments. From Murray State, Luther went to Longwood in Virginia, where he led a former all-girls school to a transition from Division-III to Division-II, earning five winning seasons and a 20-7 record in At UT Martin, Luther guided the team into the Ohio Valley Conference and made the change from the Pacers nickname to Skyhawks. While the team scheduled the toughest opponents for most of Luther s tenure to keep up with Division-I budget restraints, Luther still found success - earning OVC Coach of the Year in 1996 after his program earned its first winning season in the OVC.

An assistant coach at OVC member Austin Peay before his arrival in Martin, Campbell gave the Skyhawks its first-ever winning season since joining the Division-I ranks in just his third season in charge. Six of the 14 UT Martin alltime 1,000 point scorers played under Campbell, including standout guard Lester Hudson. In Campbell s last two seasons as coach, the Skyhawks were led by Hudson, who quickly became one of the most dynamic players in the NCAA after tallying the NCAA s first-ever quadruple double (25 points, 12 rebounds, 10 assists and 10 steals) against Central Baptist in the third game of his career. Under Campbell, the Skyhawks hosted its first OVC Tournament game and won its first two OVC Tournament games.the best season by far in Campbell s tenure was , when the Skyhawks secured its first-ever outright regularseason Ohio Valley Conference championship.

James debut season as bench leader at UT Martin in came against arguably one of the toughest schedules in the history of the program, ending the year with a 4-25 slate. A bit of history occured in late December, as the Skyhawks earned backto-back OVC Player of the Week accolades for just the second time ever. Year Two of the James Era began a resurgence of the program. The team tripled its win output from the previous season. Senior Benzor Simmons became the program s 15th member of the 1,000 point club, while a trio of freshmen combined to win eight adidas OVC Freshman of the Week awards, the most awards recorded by one school since the league began handing out the award in In , James coached OVC Freshman of the Year Myles Taylor, the third player to bring home that award in program history. Taylor also was a member of the OVC s All-Newcomer team. The following season, James led UT Martin back to the OVC Tournament after winning five of eight games down the stretch. The Skyhawks downed OVC heavyweights Eastern Kentucky (25-10 record) and won on the road at OVC West champion Murray State (21-10) for the first time in program history.
