Thompson Hall is conveniently located on University Boulevard on MSU’s main cam-

pus. Though located in MSU’s Historic District, it was recently completely remodeled and has spacious rooms located within steps of lounge and kitchenette areas, along with a basement recreation and living room area.

Thompson Hall sits adjacent to most class-room buildings and is just a short walk from the Adron Doran University Center where the Uni-versity Bookstore and several dining facilities are located. The Alumni Tower grill and cafeteria are also located near Thompson Hall. Dining oppor-tunities for Eagle basketball players range from buffets to some of the best-liked and well-known national and regional establishments.

Eagle Basketball Players Enjoy QualityThompson Hall is one of the best

on-campus housing arrangements in the country. I have coached at LSU, Idaho

and Middle Tennessee, and this is by far the best housing situation that I have had for our players. With the buffets available in

the Adron Doran University Center and Alumni Tower and the number of

other dining opportunities at MSU, our players have excellent quality, quantity

and variety in their food choices.

Eagle basketball players utilize the strength and conditioning facilities at Jayne Stadium,

which include the track, the Phil Simms Weight Training Facility, and the Eagle Weight Room just off the Johnson Arena playing floor.

Get Bigger, Get Stronger

Strength Coach Kevin Deweese is a young and energetic coach who pushes our players hard every day. We also have excellent facilities to

work out in. The Phil Simms Weight Training Facility is one of the nicest that I have seen. It is spacious and has all of the finest equip-

ment. We also have the Eagle Weight Room that is located inside the Academic-Athletic

Center. Coach Deweese is able to utilize both of these facilities to help with our strength and conditioning program and push our players to

reach their full potential.

Donnie Tyndall, the 2007-08 Ohio Valley Conference Coach of the Year, is in his

fourth season as men’s head basketball coach at Morehead State University.

Under Tyndall’s guidance, the Eagles have improved each season, culminating last year with More-head State’s first OVC Tourna-ment title and NCAA bid since 1984. In returning the Eagles to prominence, Tyndall led MSU over Alabama State in the NCAA Tournament Opening Round,

the first NCAA Tournament win for an OVC team since

1989.The 2008-09 Eagles

finished with a 20-16 overall record, the first time since 2002-03 that a Morehead State team has reached 20 wins. Tyndall is only the third coach in

school history to have a 20-win season and

he is the only coach to accomplish the feat in fewer

than four years.Tyndall’s first Morehead State team more

than tripled the win total from the previous year. The 2006-07 Eagles were picked 11th in the Ohio Valley Conference but finished seventh and advanced to the conference tournament for the first time in three seasons.

The 2007-08 team continued the steady progress by picking up 15 wins and finishing third in the conference standings even though it was picked 10th in the preseason league rankings. The season was highlighted by a 10-0 start in Johnson Arena. That start matched the best start at home in school history.

That two-year turnaround by Tyndall and the Eagles is ranked among the top eight teams in the nation for confer-ence improvement. In those two short years, the MSU men’s

basketball program became a contender for the OVC crown and one year later achieved that goal.

Well respected both in the Morehead com-munity and within the college coaching ranks, Tyndall was named as one of the Top 10 “Under the Radar” coaches by Athalon Sports this year. He also served as the co-chair for the MSU Capi-tal Campaign in 2009.

An MSU alumnus who was a basketball letter-winner, he is the 12th head coach in the history of the Eagle program. He returned to his alma mater from the position of associate head coach at Middle Tennessee State University where he had served for four years.

A NCAA Division I assistant coach for nearly 10 years, the 39-year old Tyndall spent one season as associate head coach at the University of Idaho. Prior to that, he was an assistant coach for four seasons at Louisiana State University. In 1996-97, Tyndall served as head coach at St. Catharine College in Springfield, Ky., for a season. After graduation from MSU, he spent two seasons as an assistant coach at Iowa Central Community College in Fort Dodge, Iowa.

“In conducting a national search and speak-ing with literally hundreds of people, it became apparent that someone with a commitment to recruiting high level student-athletes, a passion for the game and certainly a fondness for More-head State would emerge as our new head men’s basketball coach,” said MSU Athletic Director Brian Hutchinson. “Donnie Tyndall has all the requisite experience, having been a Division I assistant for nearly 10 years. He is proving himself to be absolutely the right person to lead this pro-gram into prominence regionally and nationally.”

At MTSU, Tyndall teamed with Head Coach Kermit Davis to lead the Blue Raiders to four consecutive winning seasons, averaging 17 wins a campaign. As recruiting coordinator, he directed MTSU recruiting efforts that have resulted in two classes being ranked in the Top 25 nation-

ally. “Hoop Scoop” ranked the 2003 class 23rd, and the 2004 class was ranked 11th nationally. Each class was selected as the number one class in the Sun Belt Conference by that basketball publication.

While many of his responsibilities centered around recruiting, Tyndall also played instrumental roles in prac-tice and game preparation, coordinat-ing scouting reports and practice orga-nization and in academic monitoring.

While he was at Idaho, the Van-dals 2002 recruiting class was ranked as high as 15th nationally. Tyndall also served as scouting coordinator. As the individual in charge of academic progress, he helped the team earn a cumulative grade point average of 2.6 (on a 4.0 scale), the best at the school in more than a decade.

During his tenure on John Brady’s staff at LSU, Tyndall helped recruit three classes that were ranked among the Top 25 nationally. In 2000, LSU won the SEC and advanced to the Sweet 16. Three of the recruited stu-dent-athletes went on to play in the

NBA, five earned All-Southeast Conference hon-ors and five were named Academic All-SEC. As the Tigers’ academic coordinator, he helped improve the basketball team’s grade point average from 1.7 in 1996 to 2.65 in 2001.

During his one season as head coach at St. Catharine, he led the team to a school record 30-5 mark and to the National Junior College Athletic Association National Tournament for the first time in school history. Tyndall was named the Kentucky-Tennessee Junior College Coach of the Year and was also named the top coach in Region VII. Illustrating his emphasis on aca-demic achievement, the team’s grade point average improved from 1.81 to 2.64, and all six of the sophomores on the squad earned associate degrees.

As an assistant coach at Iowa Central, he had on-floor coaching and recruiting duties and organized and supervised the team’s strength and conditioning program.

A native of Grand Rapids, Mich., Tyndall played at Northview High School, then one season at Iowa Central (1989-90). He was a member of Eagle teams for three seasons (1990-93). Tyndall played with Athletes in Action after completing his career at MSU.

He earned a bachelor’s degree from MSU (1993) and a master’s degree from LSU.

Tyndall has two daughters, Taylor Elise and Grace Elizabeth.

“Donnie Tyndall is an outstanding basketball coach and one of the best assistants I have ever had work with me. When I hired Donnie at LSU, there was no doubt in my mind he would eventually become a head coach. He is a wonderful person to be around, and an excellent coach who cares about the welfare and development of his players.”

John Brady, Head Coach, Arkansas State

“I know Donnie is so excited to be at Morehead State, his alma mater. He is building a solid foundation and I sense his excitement and hard work will continue to turn the program around.”

Bill Self, Head Coach, Kansas University

“As I observed Donnie as an assistant at LSU, I knew he was a very special coach. His work ethic was unmatched and his love of the game was evident. The confidence he exhibited and the respect he had for his players in practice was very impressive to me. Morehead State has a great young man running its program.”

Joe Dean, Retired Athletic Director, LSU

coach with the University of Cincinnati’s women’s basketball program. Cincinnati was 49-15 in those two seasons and advanced to postseason play on both occasions. During his final year at UC, the Bearcats finished 27-5 and won the Conference USA title. They finished the season ranked in the Top 25, a first for that program.

A Louisville native, Moore began his coaching career at Fern Creek and DuPont Manual high schools in the city. During six seasons in the

Louisville high school ranks, he helped lead teams to two district championships and two regional championship game appearances.

Ellis T. Johnson Arena in the Aca-demic-Athletic Center has served as

the homecourt for Morehead State men’s basketball since 1981. The AAC is one of the best facilities in the nation for men’s basketball, and Johnson Arena is named for former Morehead State athletic director and coach Ellis T. Johnson. John-son was also a highly successful football coach at both University of Kentucky and Marshall University. The Eagles enjoy a tremendous home court advantage in Johnson Arena.

During the summer of 2006, the arena floor was completely resurfaced with Morehead State’s new primary logo and word marks. The Eagles’ locker room, located just steps from the court, was also completetly refurbished with new walls, lockers and furniture. The locker facility is also conveniently connected to the AAC training room.

The building is a multi-purpose facility and also houses offices for a majority of the athletic department staff, including a second-floor office suite for men’s basketball. The facility also houses a cheerleading room, the Len Miller VIP Room, a full-service weight room, a satellite training room,

sauna and steam rooms, and ample con-cession and storage areas. The AAC also incorporates the Russell McClure Pool, which served as home to the MSU swim team until 1995.

The University broke ground on the AAC in 1978 and completed the project in 1981. The Eagles won their inaugural game in the building on December 3, 1981 over the University of Charleston.

Johnson Arena itself has a seating capacity of 6,500 for basketball and can be easily tranformed into an auditorium for concerts and commencements. At the East end of the playing floor, a hydraulic

stage can be raised for events. Since opening, the arena has hosted such national acts as Alabama, David Letterman, M.C. Hammer, the Goo Goo Dolls, Alan Jackson, Dashboard Confessional, Jeff Foxworthy, Tim McGraw, Travis Tritt and Sawyer Brown.

When you exceed even your own expecta-tions, what do you do for an encore?

For Morehead State men’s basketball coach Donnie Tyndall, you shoot for a repeat, and maybe more. Tyndall’s five-year plan to resur-rect MSU basketball culminated in 2009 with an Ohio Valley Conference Tournament title and an NCAA trip in just year three. Now revised plans include a return trip to the NCAA Tournament as a higher seed with the potential to advance beyond the first round.

But to get to that point, the Eagles must again win the OVC Tournament and this time, MSU won’t be the surprise Cinderella team this season. Morehead State was chosen as the preseason favorite, along with Murray State, to win the OVC this season. The Eagles two big-gest weapons were also honored by the Ohio Valley Conference, with junior center Kenneth Faried earning the Preseason Player of the Year and senior Maze Stallworth joining Faried on the Preseason All-Conference team.

“We are honored to be picked to finish first alongside Murray State, but it also means we won’t sneak up on anyone this year,” Tyndall said. “The reality is that regardless of where we are picked, we have to work hard and win basketball games to make these predictions come true.”

Tyndall will rely heavily on his experienced players to help prove the preseason predictions, and experience is something this Eagle team has in abundance, especially where it can be most critical. Morehead State’s starting floor gen-eral will be fifth-year senior Brandon Shingles. Shingles, a 6-3 Albany, Ga., native, averaged just under four assists per game to lead MSU and 5.0 points per game last season.

“Brandon has great leadership ability and he’s talented,” Tyndall said. “I expect him to be one of the best if not the best point guard in the league.”

Behind Shingles will be two newcomers with tremendous potential in transfer Ty Proffitt and freshman Corey Clemens. Proffitt is a 6-4 local product from London, Ky., who spent a year at Notre Dame before transferring to MSU.

“Ty adds a dimension to our team. He has great basketball and court awareness and can play the point or be a two-guard,” Tyndall said.

Clemens, the freshman from New Castle, Ind., is also a combo guard who impressed Tyn-dall in fall workouts with the range of his shot and his toughness. The 6-2 Clemens averaged 19.2 points and 3.1 assists as a senior at New Castle Chrysler High.

Nashville, Tenn., native Demonte Harper is

penciled in as the starter at the shooting guard slot, but Harper is unselfish with the basketball and can play the role of set-up man or playmaker. The 6-4 junior was second in assists last season behind Shingles and was one of four Eagles to average double-digit scoring with 10.6 points per game.

“Demonte is coming off a great sophomore season and he worked hard and built his body up during the summer. I believe he is a legitimate All-OVC candidate,” Tyndall said.

Terrance Hill, a 6-1 Columbus, Ga., native made an impression on Tyndall during the off-season with his work ethic and has carved out playing time behind Harper.

“Terrance may have made the biggest jump and is one of our most improved players, Tyndall said. “He’s more mature and will earn minutes in our rotation.”

Newcomers Aaron Williams and Rashad Hosea both add depth in the guard position. Wil-liams, a 5-10 redshirt freshman played at duPon Manual High School in Louisville, Ky. Hosea is a redshirt sophomore from Detroit, Mich., where he played at Cody High School.

Also earning playing time at two-guard will be

junior John Lamb. A 6-1 Indianola, Iowa, native, Lamb can be a sharpshooter when needed.

“John is a great shooter and experienced player who gives us quality depth. He can be very effec-tive for us against zone defenses,” Tyndall said.

Top-notch shooters are key to Tyndall’s offen-sive plan and one of MSU’s best shooters will start at small forward. OVC Preseason All-Conference selection Maze Stallworth, an Elizabethtown, Ky., native, led the Eagles in perimeter shooting with 38 percent accuracy last year. The 6-4 senior set team 3-point records, draining 87 shots from long range to averaged 12.1 points per game.

“Maze is a three-year starter and will be a 1,000-point scorer at Morehead State. In my opinion he is the best shooter in the OVC,” Tyndall said.

Lawrenceville, Ga., native Sam Goodman is the Eagles most impressive newcomer because of his work ethic and receptiveness to coaching, according to Tyndall. Listed as a guard because of his 6-2 size, Goodman’s athletic ability will allow him to play small forward behind Stallworth.

Sophomore forward Steve Peterson hit one of the biggest shots in MSU history when his jumper from the wing with 1.6 seconds left in double overtime lifted the Eagles into the NCAA Tournament. A 6-5 native of Columbus, Ga., Tyndall has Peterson playing both forward posi-tions and compares his offseason to that of his high school teammate Hill.

“Like Hill, Steve has made a tremendous jump. He’s gotten a lot stronger and is a very versatile player,” Tyndall said.

Senior forward Les Simmons returns to the team after sitting out the 2008-09 season. A 6-7 talented forward from Mountainville, N.Y., Sim-mons has the potential to have a strong senior campaign.

“We hope Les can continue to show maturity and growth. If he does, he can be a solid player for us,” Tyndall said.

David Terrell, a 6-5 transfer from Midland Community College is arguably Morehead State’s most talented newcomer. Tyndall notes that the forward from Houston, Texas, may have the opportunity to impact the team once his condi-tioning improves.

Another newcomer who may impact the team once he gets into shape is freshman Jamel Mar-shall. A native of Orlando, Fla., Marshall origi-nally signed with Florida International before a change in coaching resulted in an opportunity for Marshall to join Tyndall’s team at Morehead. A 6-5 forward/center, Marshall gives MSU added

The high-flying Kenneth Faried

is expected to be one of the Eagles

leaders this season in the quest for

a OVC Championship repeat.

strength and depth along the front line.Speaking of front line impact players, perhaps

no player’s impact was felt more last season than Faried. The Preseason OVC Player of the Year is the nation’s returning leading rebounder. He averaged 13.9 points and 13.0 rebounds per game. Faried has garnered national attention as a center, including earning the distinction as a potential NBA Prospect.

“Kenneth is one of the Top 20 centers in college basketball and the leading returning rebounder. With his improved strength and weight he is a viable OVC Player of the Year candidate,” Tyndall said.

International newcomer Jason Beharie, a 6-9 freshman from London, England, will also con-tribute at the five slot. Tyndall calls him a skilled center who will be a nice OVC player as his strength and conditioning improves. He also noted that Beharie has transitioned well to the more physical American game.

Morehead State will face a tough test to open the season when they head just one hour west to face Kentucky in Rupp Arena in what will be John Calapari’s first regular season game as coach of the Wildcats. That game will be broadcast on ESPNU.

“Playing at UK is huge for us for in-state recruiting. We get the chance to play in legendary Rupp Arena and face a Top Five team on national television,” Tyndall said.

Other non-conference games include fac-ing Utah State, Cal State-Fullerton, and Weber State at the Utah State Tournament and a home schedule that includes Kent State, ETSU and Louisiana-Monroe.

“The rest of our non-conference slate features some great mid-major programs,” Tyndall said. “This is the best home schedule since I’ve been coach here.”

Once OVC play starts on Dec. 3, the Eagles don’t waste much time before playing at the other preseason #1, Murray State on Dec. 5.

“Murray will be one of the teams to beat with what they return and the success they’ve had,” Tyndall said. “Austin Peay could win it again and I believe Eastern Illinois will be the surprise team this year.”

Tyndall believes there are four or five teams with a legitimate chance to win the league title, including Morehead State.

“This is the deepest and most balanced the league has been since I’ve been here,” Tyndall said.

A deep league will make defending the OVC title difficult, but with one championship ring, Tyndall’s expectations and goals for his team are high and include a return trip in year four.

OF GREAT

COLLEGE BASKETBALL ACTION

The eighth annual BracketBusters event, a two-day men’s college basketball extravaganza pitting potential NCAA Tournament hopefuls against each other Feb. 19-20, will feature 11 nationally televised games – on either ESPN2 or ESPNU -- selected from a pool of 98 teams.

For the fifth straight year, ESPNU, the 24-hour college sports network, will televise five BracketBusters games while ESPN2 will televise six contests. The 11 BracketBusters matchups will be announced Feb. 1, while game time and network assignments will be announced Feb. 8.

BracketBusters, named because of the success of the teams in NCAA Tournament play, will provide the 22 televised teams an opportunity to play other top non-conference opponents three weeks before Selection Sunday. The 76 teams not selected for BracketBusters will compete against each other through the same two days.

The 98-team field will feature 12 teams from the Mid-American and Colonial Athletic; 11 from the Ohio Valley, 10 from the Missouri Valley, Horizon League and Metro Atlantic Athletic; nine from the Western Athletic and Big West; four from the Big South and Southern; three from the America East; two from the MEAC; and one from the Big Sky and Summit League.

As part of the agreement, all 11 of the BracketBusters home teams, as well as the remaining 38 home squads, will play a “return” game at the home facility of their opponent in November or December of the 2011-12 season.

The Ohio Valley Conference

Entering its 62nd year, the Ohio Valley Conference continues to build on the success that has made

it the nation’s eighth-oldest NCAA Division I confer-ence. For only the second time in a decade, the Confer-ence expanded by adding Southern Illinois University Edwardsville as the league’s 11th member in 2008. The move expanded the OVC’s geographical footprint to the St. Louis market and marked the first change in member-ship since expanding to the state of Alabama (Jacksonville State, Samford) in 2003.

The 2009-10 school year saw a change in leadership as Beth DeBauche was named the seventh full-time Com-missioner in league history on July 28. She is currently one of just five females to be the head of a Division I confer-ence, and one of just eight 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 past dates back to 1948, but seeds for the new league were actually planted in 1941. 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. 27-28, 1948 at the Kentucky Hotel in Louisville as the three original institutions combined with Morehead State, Louisville and Evansville to form the OVC.

In the 1950s, the OVC became a pioneer on a much more significant scale socially. During times of racial seg-regation, league member Morehead State became one of the first non-traditionally black mid-southern institutions to accept a black student. In 1958, Marshall Banks earned athletically-related aid at Morehead, which signed a sec-ond black athlete, Howard Murphy, a year later. In 1961, Murphy earned all-conference recognition as a halfback in football. With racial barriers broken, the rest of the institutions in the league began to provide educational and athletic opportunities to African-Americans.

In 1955, the OVC became only the second six-member 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 Jackson-ville, Kentucky and Ohio State before losing to Villanova in double overtime. WKU went on to finish in third place after beating Kansas 77-75 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 auto-matic 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 68-67 victory over the Illini, and a narrow 90-87 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, 78-75. The Racers’ M&M Boys - Jeff Martin and Don Mann - combined for 39 points in the win.

After former member Middle Tennessee State won a first round game in 1989, the league had a drought as no other OVC team won a NCAA Tournament game for the next 19 years. But Morehead State, coming off a thrilling double overtime OVC Tournament victory over Austin Peay, topped Alabama State 58-43 in the Opening Round game at Flyer Arena in Dayton, Ohio. The game was played in front of an Opening Round record crowd of 11,346; that crowd included many MSU fans who made the three hour drive from Morehead for the game. The Eagles season would come to three days later when they lost to No. 1 overall seed Louisville, despite playing the Cardinals close for a majority of the game.

Through its 61 years, 12 teams have won or shared the league’s regular season men’s basketball title. Murray State heads the list with a Conference-record 20 outright or shared basketball crowns. Other past champions include former member Western Kentucky (19), More-head State (9), Austin Peay (8), Eastern Kentucky (6), Tennessee Tech (5), former member Middle Tennessee (5), Tennessee State (2), former member East Tennessee State (2), Southeast Missouri State (1), UT Martin (who won its first in 2008-09) and former member Akron (1).

The OVC also has the honor of being the only confer-ence to boast the nation’s leaders in scoring, rebounding and assists all in one season. That feat was accomplished in 1991-92 by Morehead State’s Brett Roberts (28.1 ppg), Murray State’s Popeye Jones (14.4 rpg) and Tennessee Tech’s Van Usher (8.8 apg).

The playing field is not the only place where OVC athletes are working hard. The league also recognizes excellence in the classroom. Six Scholar-Athlete Awards are presented yearly to male and female athletes, while others are commended for their academic success by being Medal of Honor recipients or earning a spot on the Com-missioner’s Honor Roll. Additionally, the league annually presents one institutional Academic Achievement Award, as well as separate team awards in each Conference-sponsored sport. Since the College Sports Information Directors of American (CoSIDA) Academic All-America program began, the Ohio Valley Conference has had 179 student-athletes honored with the award, including 25 over the last three years (2006-07 to the present).

The OVC annually presents the Steve Hamilton Sportsmanship Award, in honor of the former Morehead State student-athlete, coach and athletics director, to a junior or senior student-athlete with significant athletic contributions who best exemplifies the characteristics of sportsmanship and citizenship. Most recently, the Con-ference has also implemented the OVC Institutional and Team Sportsmanship Awards, which are presented to one institution and 18 sport-specific teams voted by their peers to have best exhibited the standards of sportsmanship and ethical conduct as outlined by the OVC and NCAA.

The Ohio Valley Conference 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 com-bined men’s and women’s sport of rifle.

Now in its seventh decade of competition, the

Ohio Valley Conference has grown significantly from its humble beginnings while increasing the number of athlet-ics opportunities it provides for students. Current league representatives include charter members Eastern Ken-tucky University, Morehead State University and Murray State University, along with Austin Peay State University, Eastern Illinois University, Jacksonville State University, Southeast Missouri State University, Southern Illinois University Edwardsville, Tennessee State University, Ten-nessee Technological University and the University of Tennessee at Martin.

Historically, the University traces its lin-eage to the Morehead Normal School, which opened its doors in 1887. The private school closed in the spring of 1922 when the Ken-tucky General Assembly established Morehead State Normal School. The state institution accepted its first students in the fall of 1923 and graduated its first class in 1927. Name changes occurred in 1926 when “and Teach-ers College” was added, again in 1930 when it was shortened to Morehead State Teachers College, again in 1948 when “Teachers” was dropped and, finally, to university status in 1966. Thirteen men, starting with Frank C. Button, have served as president. Dr. Wayne D. Andrews assumed office as the 13th presi-dent on Jan. 1, 2005.

Academically, the University offers 78 undergraduate degree programs, including 8 associate level degrees and 12 pre-professional programs in four colleges, Business and Public Affairs, Education, Caudill College of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences and Science

Brian HutchinsonDirector of Athletics

Brian Hutchinson became Morehead State University’s ninth Director of Athletics on

March 1, 2005 after spending five years as associ-ate director of athletics and six months as interim director following the departure of former AD Chip Smith. In his previous role, Hutchinson served as sport administrator for football, golf, baseball and volleyball as well as the athletic train-ing operation, managing day-to-day operations of the department, managing the department’s annual budget and serving as the department’s ticket manager.

Hutchinson, 35, became one of the youngest athletic professionals to ever serve as a Division I director of athletics, after his appointment in September 2004. He has spent his entire profes-sional career at MSU, now spanning more than 13 years, and is a member of the institution’s senior leadership group, the President’s Cabinet. Previously he served as development director for two years, before assuming the post of director of development and marketing, which he held for nearly one year. Prior to that, he served 18 months as a regional development officer for the University and six months as a staff assistant in the University’s Office of Development and Alumni Relations.

A 1996 cum laude graduate of Morehead State University, Hutchinson earned a Bachelor of Business Administration degree, while special-izing in real estate. During his senior year, the Louisa, Ky., native served as the Student Govern-ment Association President and was a student representative to the MSU Board of Regents. He graduated in 2001 with a Master of Arts in Edu-

The strength and conditioning program at Morehead State provides student-athletes

with the best possible physical and mental train-ing to help them perform at their peak potential.

Under the direction of head coach Kevin Deweese, the individual sport programs focus on physical and mental training and nutrition for that particular sport as well as particular athletes. Deweese and his staff develop programs that will help athletes reach their maximum potential and prevent injuries. Athletes have several options for weight training with the centerpiece of the

program being the Phil Simms Weight Training Center. Funded by former Morehead State and NFL star quarterback Phil Simms, the center houses weight machines and free weights and is located adjacent to Jayne Stadium. The center has ample space for several teams to train at the same time. Athletes also utilize the weight center in the Academic-Athletic Center. Free weights, as well as state-of-art machines, are located in the facility.

Stressing the whole body, the strength and conditioning program at Morehead State also helps athletes reach their potential in the fields of

agility and speed. Deweese and his staff make sure athletes are ready for game action with speed drills and agility training tailored to each sport. The staff also oversees off-season workouts and nutri-tion programs to make sure Eagle student-athletes are in shape when the season begins.

MSU student-athletes have been honored for their work in the weight room. In 2008-09, women’s basketball senior Brittany Bass and base-ball senior Josh Barnes were named All-American Strength and Conditioning Athletes by the Nation-al Strength and Conditioning Coaches Association.

Morehead State University believes that Intercollegiate Athletics is an integral part of the University and that a broad-based intercollegiate

athletics program encourages student participation and involvement in the

total life of the University. In addition, intercollegiate athletic programs play a positive role by supporting the academic and public service missions of the University.

Dear Friends:

Morehead State University is committed to upholding the highest integrity within all procedures and practices of the ath-letic department. We are pleased to publish this note as a reference to understanding often confusing NCAA regulations.

The NCAA defines “representatives of athletic interests” as alumni, friends and boosters of the University. All member institutions are held accountable for their representatives’ actions. One violation could jeopardize the eligibility of any or all Eagle athletic programs.

As a general rule, anyone who has financially supported Eagle Athletics, been a member of any booster organization, or who has supported Eagle Athletics is considered a “representative” of Eagle Athletics.

Prospective student-athletes can be defined as a student who has started classes in the ninth grade or any younger student-athlete who has received a benefit from the institution. These individuals may only be recruited by MSU coaches who have passed the NCAA Recruiting Rules Examination. While “representatives” of Eagle Athletics may speak to any of these individu-als via telephone or in person, a recruiting effort must not be made. Also, no student-athlete or prospective student-athlete may receive any extra benefit outside of the support provided by the institution. For any questions regarding this description, please contact me at 606-783-5136.

These are certainly not all the regulations any “representative” of Eagle Athletics must remember. However, they provide a good outline of the types of things that could endanger the eligibility of any MSU Athletics program. Again, feel free to contact us if you have any questions. Thanks again for your support of Morehead State Athletics.

Sincerely,

Richard Fletcher Associate Director of Athletics/Compliance

Through administrative and athletic leadership at Morehead State, a study of athletics facili-

ties commenced in the winter of 2006 to identify a plan that would guide decisions made by MSU Athletics well into the 21st century. Heery Inter-national, acclaimed architects and facilities plan-ners, was selected to complete the study.

All potential constituent groups were con-sulted throughout the process. While MSU has

much to be proud of, it became quite apparent that significant work should be done to improve the athletics physical plant.

The drawing you see here provides a map of what is to come. In all, over $89 million of work was identified and encompasses five new facilities and five renovated facilities. The first scheduled work will be the renovation of the University’s Wellness Center into a state-of-the-art Athletics

Academic Resource Building. For more information or if you’d like to

help MSU realize these goals, please contact MSU Director of Athletics Brian Hutchinson at [email protected] or at 606-783-2089.

New Administration Building

Indoor Practice Facility

Tennis Facilities

Softball Facilities

Jayne Stadium Academic Center

These artist renderings represent many of the major proposed improvements, additions and new facilities outlined in the Morehead State

Athletic Facilities Master Plan.

Baseball Facilities

The new adminstration building will be located on the south end of Jayne Stadium and will house all admin-istrative offices, most coach’s offices and football team facilities. The building will also house soccer and cross country locker rooms and serve as the site to strength and conditioning activities and the sports medicine operation.

The indoor practice facility will be located on the present site of University Softball Field and will serve as a valu-able practice facility for all of MSU’s teams.

The current Sadler Courts will be renovated. The new facility will have 12 lighted courts and ample stadium seating for spectators. Team facilities as well as ample storage and restroom facilities will be located in the expanded Academic Center adjacent to the courts.

A new softball stadium will be built on the Northwest side of the current Academic-Athletic Center. The facility will have home and visiting locker rooms and a spa-cious press box. Also planned is a softball team locker room facility as well as an artificial turf infield practice area for use by all outdoor teams. Behind the new stadium, a golf chipping and putting green is also in the plan to be constructed.

Jayne Stadium will be completely renovated with new grandstand seating on the home side-line as well as a new press/luxury box tower atop the home sideline grandstand. The new press tower will house a spacious press work area, the President’s Box as well as space for luxury boxes and a club seating area. Visitor locker rooms will be renovated, and the visitor sideline grandstands will be completely renovated. The road leading into Jayne Stadium will be re-routed and will serve as an entrance to the new athletic complex. The current track will be removed, and the home sideline grandstands will also be moved closer to the field, giving fans excellent sightlines and a feel of being closer to the action.

The first phase of the plan, already underway, is the expansion of the current Wellness Center to become the new Academic Center. Once completed, it will house computer labs, offices and study halls and will be a valuable asset to the academic success of Morehead State’s student-athletes.

The Allen Field grandstand will be reconstructed and modern-ized, and plans are to extend the current right field “short porch” area to a more-spacious field area. A new press box will be built atop the grandstand.

Morehead, Ky., is a community of nearly 10,000, nestled in the

foothills of the Appalachian Moun-tains in the Daniel Boone National Forest. It serves as the educational, medical, recreational and cultural cen-ter of rural northeast Kentucky and is located in the state’s Gateway Area. Morehead also is known as the “Hard-wood Capital of the World.” Situated on the state’s major east-west highway, Interstate 64, Morehead is 58 miles west of Ashland, Ky., and the border of West Virginia, and 66 miles east of Kentucky’s second-most populated city, Lexington.

Its centralized location allows many parts of the Eastern and Midwestern United States to be readily accessible.

Hiking, biking, swimming, boating, fishing, water skiing, canoeing, bird watching,

camping or enjoying the solitude of nature are some of the highlights of the activities at Cave Run Lake.
