ACUCOACHES

ormer Abilene Christian letterman and assistant basketball coach Joe Golding is at the start of his fourth season as the head men’s basketball coach at his alma mater. He was hired July 18, 2011, by his former teammate, former ACU director of athletics Jared Mosley.

Last year in the Wildcats’ first season at the NCAA Division I level, Golding led ACU to an 11-20 mark against one of the toughest schedules in the nation. The Wildcats hit the road to play Duquesne, St. Bonaventure, Maryland, Iowa, TCU, Xavier and Towson, all in the season’s first month.

The Wildcats were 2-12 in Southland Conference play, but lost four games by four points or less and another three games by eight points or less. ACU also led the Terrapins of Maryland through the game’s first 28 minutes before finally falling to the 2002 NCAA national champion.

Golding’s Wildcats won 12 games for the second consecutive year in 2012-13, but were 6-2 against non-conference teams and improved on their standing within the Lone Star Conference. And even though the 2012-13 squad posted the same scoring average (71.5 ppg) as Golding’s first ACU team, the Wildcats became much better overall at shooting (.460) and rebounding (35.5) while reducing their turnovers.

ACU finished its final year as a NCAA Division II program ranked 14th in 3-point field goal percentage (.404) and 23rd in rebounding margin (+5.8), thanks to efforts of seniors Eric Lawton and Steven Werner. Lawton, who averaged 17.3 points and 4.5 assists per game, was voted second team all-Lone Star Conference and earned the Wildcats’ first Newcomer of the Year award. He also ranked seventh nationally with a .459 (67-146) 3-point field goal percentage.

Before returning to Abilene, Golding coached the previous three seasons for head coach Steve Shields at Arkansas-Little Rock, helping the Trojans to the Sun Belt Conference title and an appearance in the NCAA Division I national tournament. In addition to his normal coaching duties – which included working with

the UALR guards – Golding was the Trojan’s recruiting coordinator.

Golding joined the UALR coaching staff July 1, 2008, bringing with him nine years of coaching experience at the junior college and high school levels. Prior to joining the Trojans, Golding spent three seasons (2005-08) as the top assistant to head coach Jason Copeland at Abilene Christian, where his primary duties included recruiting, scouting and on-floor coaching. A former point guard at ACU from 1994-98, he also was responsible for coaching the Wildcat guards.

In 2007-08, Golding helped guide the Wildcats to a 20-9 record, marking their first 20-win season since 1998-99. The 2007-08 ACU squad qualified for the Lone Star Conference Tournament for the first time since 1998, Golding’s senior season. In addition, ACU had three guards earn all-LSC South Division honors in Corwin Ragland, Dejan Sencanski and Brandon Callahan, marking the first time since the 1985-86 season that ACU had more than one player on the all-conference team. Ragland also was named NABC Second Team All-South Central Region after averaging 17.1 points per game.

Golding was a four-year letterwinner at ACU from 1994-98, playing in all 108 games, and was given the Teague Point Guard Award as a senior. He shot 46 percent from the floor over his four-year career, and averaged 4.3 points and 4.2 assists per game.

Upon graduating from ACU with a bachelor’s degree in exercise and sport science in May 1999, Golding got his first coaching job as a varsity assistant at South Garland High School, where he helped the team to back-to-back Class 5A playoff appearances.

He served the 2001-02 season as an assistant coach at Seminole Junior College before taking the head coaching job at Sachse High School. In the program’s first years at the 5A level, Golding led the team to a 15-14 record in 2002-03 and an 18-10 mark in 2003-04. Prior to returning to Abilene Christian in 2005, Golding spent the 2004-05 season as an assistant coach at Collin County Community College.

Golding and his wife, Amanda, have been married for nine years and have two sons, Cason and Chase. n

ACUCOACHESACU Assistant Coaches

BRETTE TANNERAssociate Head Coach

Brette Tanner is in his second year as Abilene Christian’s top assistant men’s basketball coach to Joe Golding. Earlier in 2014, Tanner was promoted to associate head coach.

Tanner joined the Wildcats in May 2013 following a seven-year stay at Stephen F. Austin State, where he helped the Lumberjacks to an overall mark of 153-65, three regular-season Southland Conference championships and three appearances in the SLC postseason tournament title game.

During Tanner’s last six seasons at SFA, the Lumberjacks had the best winning percentage of all 21 NCAA Division I programs in the state of Texas (138-49, .738 winning percentage).

Prior to his arrival on staff, SFA had not won a conference championship or reached the NCAA Tournament in 21 seasons as a Division I program. But Tanner helped lead the Lumberjacks to a Southland Conference title in 2007- 08, and SFA has won two more since, giving the program three league championships in the last six years.

The 2007- 08 campaign also broke a long draught between national tournament appearances with an NIT bid. SFA followed it up the next year with a Southland Conference Championship and a berth in the NCAA Tournament.

In 2012- 13, the Lumberjacks won their third regular- season league title and were rewarded with another NIT bid, making Tanner a part of three of the program’s four national tournament appearances at the NCAA Division I level. As the program’s recruiting coordinator, Tanner landed several nationally ranked classes in the last six years. The success in recruiting translated to winning basketball. SFA has had five 20-win seasons in the last six years. Prior to Tanner’s arrival, the Lumberjacks had only three 20-win campaigns in more than two decades as a Division I team.

Prior to 2013-14, Tanner was part of 14 consecutive teams to have reached the post-season. Included in that mix are two of

the best Lumberjack teams in program history. The 2007-08 and 2008-09 teams posted a 50-14 record combined in two seasons. Those two teams won back-to-back Southland Conference titles, earning a berth in the NIT in 2008 and the NCAA Championships in 2009.

During Tanner’s time at SFA, the Lumberjacks posted wins against teams from the Big 12, Missouri Valley, Conference USA, West Coast Conference and Sun Belt. Prior to joining the SFA coaching staff, Tanner spent two seasons as an assistant coach at South Plains College in Levelland, helping guide the men’s team to 45 wins. The Texans also were ranked in the top 25 nationally both seasons.

Before coaching at South Plains, Tanner was the head coach at Fort Scott (Kan.) Community College for four seasons. By the time he left, he ranked fourth on the all-time wins list. In addition, three of the four years as head coach his teams posted the highest team GPA in Region VI. Before being named head coach, Tanner assisted the program for two seasons.

As a collegian, Tanner played for Allen County (Kan.) Community College for two years and earned an Associate of Science degree before transferred to Emporia State (Kan.) University to earn a bachelor’s degree and played for head coach Ron Slaymaker. Tanner completed his education at Pittsburg State University where he earned his master’s degree in jinesiology.k

The Southland Conference



n an era of considerable change in intercollegiate athletics, the Southland Conference continues to be a model of innovation, stability and consistent achievement as it celebrates a half-century of the academic and athletic accomplishments of its member institutions.

Commemorating its 50th anniversary in 2013, the Southland Conference has transformed itself into a dynamic and respected consortium of 14 member universities in four states. Beginning with a historic meeting of five institutions in Dallas on March 15, 1963, the Southland Conference set on an extraordinary course that has proven successful well into its five decades of existence.

The successful transformation continues, as the Southland Conference welcomed the addition of Oral Roberts University in 2012-13, marking the league’s first entry into the state of Oklahoma. Also, on July 1, 2013, the Southland welcomed four additional members: Abilene Christian University, Houston Baptist University, the University of Incarnate Word in San Antonio, and the University of New Orleans.

In addition to its newest members, the Southland Conference also consists of the University of Central Arkansas, Lamar University, McNeese State University, Nicholls State University, Northwestern State University, Sam Houston State University, Southeastern Louisiana University, Stephen F. Austin State State University and Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi.

An original Southland member, Abilene Christian rejoins the league as one of the most decorated athletic programs in NCAA history, and the addition of Houston Baptist, Incarnate Word and New Orleans gives the Southland a regular competitive presence in the key metropolitan areas of Houston, San Antonio and New Orleans. Southland cities encompass approximately 14.5 million people, and seven of its television markets rank among the top 100 in the U.S.

All told, the membership of the Southland encompasses nearly 140,000 current students and an alumni base of nearly 800,000. Famous alums from current Southland Conference schools include former CBS news anchor Dan Rather (Sam Houston State), NBA executive Joe Dumars (McNeese State), ABC news anchor Robin Roberts (Southeastern Louisiana), MLB star Wade Miley (Southeastern Louisiana), NBA legend Scottie Pippen (Central Arkansas), track and field Olympians Kenta Bell (Northwestern State), and Bobby Morrow and Earl Young (both Abilene Christian), and Ebola-fighting physician Kent Brantly, M.D., Time magazine 2014 Person of the Year (Abilene Christian).

Other notable alums from current members include Grammy Award-winning musicians Frank Ocean (New Orleans), Don Henley and Rodney Crowell (both Stephen F. Austin State), television per-sonality and actress Ellen DeGeneres (New Orleans), current NFL standouts Lardarius Webb (Nicholls State), Terrence McGee (Northwestern State) and Danieal Manning (Abilene Christian), professional golfer Shawn Stefani and Chris Stroud (both Lamar) and Colin Montgomerie (HBU), CBS Sports producer Lance Barrow (Abilene Christian), award-winning filmmaker Richard Linklater

(Sam Houston State), American Idol winner Kris Allen (Central Arkansas), NFL Hall of Famer Jackie Harris (Northwestern State), former NFL standouts Bobby Hebert (Northwestern State), Gary Barbaro (Nicholls State), Wilbert Montgomery (Abilene Christian) and Gary Reasons (Northwestern State), former MLB stars Darryl Hamilton (Nicholls State) and Kevin Millar (Lamar), NCAA football coach Charlie Strong (Central Arkansas), TV personality Kathie Lee Gifford (Oral Roberts), actors John Larroquette (New Orleans), and Ricardo Chavira and Jesse Borrego (both UIW) and NFL coaching legend O.A. “Bum” Phillips (Lamar and Stephen F. Austin State).

The Southland sponsors 17 championship sports, all at the NCAA Division I level. The eight men’s sports include baseball, basketball, cross country, football, golf, tennis, and indoor and outdoor track and field. The women compete for nine championships in basketball, cross country, golf, soccer, softball, tennis, indoor and outdoor track and field, and volleyball. The conference earns automatic qualification to NCAA championships in baseball, men’s and women’s basketball, men’s and women’s cross country, football, men’s and women’s golf, women’s soccer, softball, men’s and women’s tennis, and volleyball.

Continuing its tradition of innovation, the league launched the Southland Conference Television Network in the fall of 2008 and has broadcast more than 160 events. The network has expanded its reach to roughly 13 million households throughout Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas and Oklahoma in recent years, and has also gained national viewership through ESPN3 and Fox College Sports. In its first five years, the network has received recognition for its work, earning numerous College Sports Media and Telly Awards.

The Southland Conference, in conjunction with the city of Frisco, Texas, and Hunt Sports Group, also serves as the host to the NCAA Division I Football Championship Game in Frisco, which has been home to the conference headquarters since 2006. The game is played at Frisco’s FC Dallas Stadium, and after a successful three-year run, the partnership was rewarded with a three-year renewal to serve as the national championship host site through the 2015 season.

Southland Conference football ranks among the best Football Championship Subdivision leagues in the nation, and enjoys an annual expectation of competing for the national championship with multiple teams advancing to the NCAA playoffs each year. In 2011 and 2012, Sam Houston State advanced to the NCAA national championship game. Also, in 2002 and 2003, McNeese State finished the regular season ranked No. 1 in the nation, and advanced to the 2002 national championship contest. The conference has been represented in eight national championship games since the league joined the FCS (formerly I-AA) in 1982. All told, Southland teams have played in 104 Division I playoff games in 31 years, winning 51 of the contests.

Historically, the Southland’s successful football heritage has sustained itself through numerous membership and classification changes. The Southland joined the NCAA College Division in 1968, and was designated as NCAA Division II in 1973 before joining Division I in 1975. The Southland was an NCAA Division I-A league

The Southland Conference

I

#SOUTHLANDSTRONG


from 1978-81, before joining the ranks of FCS in 1982, its home ever since.

During its tenure as a Division I-A conference, the Southland Conference initiated the startup of the Shreveport, La.-based Independence Bowl in 1976. The Southland representative served as the host team of the bowl until 1980, compiling a 2-3 record in those contests.

The conference can lay claim to five national championships, including College Division championships through former members Arkansas State (1970, UPI) and Louisiana Tech (1972, National Football Foundation). Louisiana Tech also won the first NCAA-sanctioned national title, winning the Division II playoffs in 1973. Tech followed that with the UPI’s Division II national championship in 1974. Louisiana-Monroe won the 1987 Division I-AA national championship.

McNeese State, which has made 14 appearances in the national playoffs, also played in the 1997 NCAA Division I Championship game, while Stephen F. Austin State played in the 1989 title contest and has six playoff appearances, including 2009 and 2010. Northwest-ern State has played in the playoffs six times, and advanced to the semifinals in 1998, while Sam Houston State has earned six trips to the postseason, including the semifinals in 2004. Nicholls State has participated three times in the playoffs, and Central Arkansas has made consecutive playoff appearances in 2011 and 2012. On four occasions, the Southland has placed three teams in the NCAA playoffs.

The Southland has produced 168 first-team football All-Americans during its history and in 2010, Stephen F. Austin State quarterback Jeremy Moses became the first player in Southland history to receive the Walter Payton Award, which is presented annually to the most outstanding football player at the FCS level.

The Southland is one of five FCS conferences with at least 200 selections (206) in the National Football League draft. There have been 26 Southland players taken in the draft since 2000, including Southeastern Louisiana defensive back Robert Alford, who was picked as the first FCS player in the second round of the 2013 draft. There are 20 former Southland players on NFL rosters heading into the 2013 season. Southland Conference alums in the NFL include Buffalo’s Terrence McGee (Northwestern State) and Chicago’s Josh McCown (Sam Houston State), who have each been in the league for the last 11 seasons. Other recent NFL additions from the Southland include Green Bay’s Kevin Hughes (Southeastern Louisiana), St. Louis’ Jabara Williams (Stephen F. Austin State) Washington’s Devin Holland (McNeese State), Atlanta’s Marcus Jackson (Lamar) and Cleveland’s Dominique Croom (Central Arkansas).

The Southland has seen former Nicholls State players win Super Bowl rings in two of the last three seasons, as former Colonel Antonio Robinson was a member of the Green Bay Packers’ Super Bowl XLV champions. And, Nicholls-ex Lardarius Webb was a member of the Super Bowl XLVII champion Baltimore Ravens.

Among the former NFL stars from the Southland include Fred Dean, who was inducted to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2008 to become the first former Southland Conference player to earn induction in Canton. Other great NFL players from the Southland include Super Bowl XXIX quarterback Stan Humphries, Bill Bergey, Mike Barber, Fred Barnett, Bubby Brister, Ray Brown, Roger Carr, Larry Centers, Bruce Collie, Jackie Harris, Buford Jordan, Tim McKyer, Kavika Pittman, Billy Ryckman, Rickey Sanders, Eugene Seale, Rafael Septien, Terrance Shaw, Marcus Spears, Pat Tilley and Marvin Upshaw.

The Southland Conference has also seen its share of great coaches during its history in Maxie Lambright, Ernie Duplechin, Sam Goodwin, Jack Doland, Bennie Ellender, Bobby Keasler, Larry Lacewell, Bill Davidson, Dennis Franchione, Pat Collins, and Ron Randleman.

In addition to football, the Southland Conference can point to a number of accomplishments in all sports.

Men’s basketball has experienced a tremendous amount of

success during the Southland’s 50 years. The league has sent four teams to the NCAA Sweet Sixteen, as well as a squad to the NIT Final Four. Basketball stars Karl Malone, Joe Dumars, Jeff Foster, Dwight “Bo” Lamar, Andrew Toney and Mike Oliver played in the Southland Conference. In 2006, Northwestern State, playing as the No. 14 seed in the NCAA tournament, defeated No. 3 seed Iowa, 64-63, in first-round action. The league also saw three of its current teams, including newcomer Oral Roberts, reach the postseason in 2012.

Coaches such as Billy Tubbs, Mike Vining, Scotty Robertson, Jack Martin, Andy Russo, Bob Marlin, Danny Kaspar, Mike McConathy, Bobby Paschal and Pat Foster have led successful teams in the Southland.

In women’s basketball, the Southland also has its share of tradition with former member Louisiana-Monroe advancing to the 1985 NCAA Women’s Final Four, and Stephen F. Austin State sustaining itself as one of the most successful programs in the history of the sport. In 2008, the Ladyjacks became the eighth program in NCAA Division I history to record more than 800 wins.

In each of the last four seasons, at least three Southland teams reached the postseason, and in 2012, four women’s squads earned postseason berths. A Southland team has played in the WNIT 13 times, including each of the last seven years. Women’s basketball all-stars have included Eun Jung Lee, Lisa Ingram, Portia Hill, Deneen Parker, Katrina Price, and Joskeen Garner, and coaches such as Gary Blair, Linda Sharp, James Smith and Linda Harper.

Baseball has emerged as a constant Southland Conference strength with the league earning numerous national rankings and NCAA tournament berths. The Southland consistently ranks among the top-10 conferences in the country. In 2011, 50 of the league’s 150 non-conference victories came against the Big 12, Conference USA, Sun Belt and SEC. Major leaguers such as Ben Sheets, Micah Hoffpauir, Hunter Pence, David Segui, Brian Lawrence, Ben Broussard, Chuck Finley, Jerald Clark, and Terry Matthews once played in the Southland.

In 2012, Southeastern Louisiana’s Stefan Lopez became the league’s second winner of the national Stopper of the Year Award, which is selected by the National Collegiate Baseball Writers. Sam Houston State’s Luke Prihoda won the award in 2007. Only the Big 12 has had more players win this award.

The Southland also fares well each year in the MLB Draft, but for the first time in conference history, two Southland players were selected in the first round of the 2013 draft. Stephen F. Austin State shortstop Hunter Dozier was picked eighth by the Kansas City Royals making the Southland player and hitter of the year the league’s top draft pick in any sport. Later in the first round, the Texas Rangers selected Oral Roberts right-handed pitcher Alex Gonzalez, Southland pitcher of the year, with the 23rd overall pick. The Southland has had eight first-round picks in its history.

In 2011, Lamar mentor Jim Gilligan became the first Southland coach to reach 1,200 career victories, ranking him sixth-best in the NCAA among active Division I coaches and 24th all-time. He leads an impressive list of coaches who have patrolled Southland Conference dugouts, including Mark Johnson, Mike Bianco, John Cohen, Mitch Gaspard, Smoke Laval, Butch McBroom, Pat Patterson, Tony Robichaux, Dave Van Horn and Jim Wells.

Softball continues to enjoy success on a national level, beating nationally ranked opponents every year since 1995, including McNeese State’s win at No. 1 Arizona State early in the 2012 season. In 2011, the league had four wins against ranked opponents, including a win by Stephen F. Austin State at No. 3 Texas. In 20 years of NCAA tournament competition the Southland has racked up 15 wins.

The Southland also has a proud history in volleyball with former member Texas-Arlington representing the conference numerous times in the NCAA tournament, including a run to the NCAA Volleyball Final Four in 1989.

Track and field has also served as a proud asset for the Southland Conference as the league has produced numerous national



champions and Olympic medalists. The Southland boasts 28 men and three women student-athletes who have won NCAA track and field national championships, including Northwestern State’s Trecey Rew, who won the women’s discus in 2011, Texas A&M-Corpus Christi’s Shadrack Songok (10,000-meter run) in 2007 and 2008 and McNeese State’s Brad Gebauer (pole vault) in 2007. The league has also produced U.S. Olympic track and field medalists Earl Bell, Thomas Hill, Al Joyner, Charles Austin, and Liudmila Litvinova, along with other Olympians. With the addition of 10 more All-Americans in 2012, the league continues to find national success in both indoor and outdoor track and field. In the indoor circuit, the Southland boasts 66 unique all-time All-Americans that have won a combined 11 national championships. Likewise, in the outdoor season, the league has seen 158 different All-Americans, including 128 men and 30 women, who have combined to win 21 national championships.

Golf has traditionally been a strong Southland sport as exemplified by Lamar men’s golfer Chris Stroud, who finished third individually at the 2003 NCAA National Championship and is a member of the PGA Tour. Both Stroud and former Southeastern Louisiana golfer Hugo Leon competed in the 2010 U.S. Open. Lamar alum Shawn Stefani had a pair of top seven finishes through the midway point of the 2013 PGA tour.

The league has sent multiple teams into postseason play on numerous occasions, including in 2012 when three Southland teams – Lamar, Southeastern Louisiana and Texas-Arlington – competed in the NCAA tournament. Additionally, during the past five seasons the Southland has sent 12 golfers to compete as individuals in regional play with five in 2009, three more in 2010, one each in 2011 and 2012 and two in 2013. Lamar won a pair of NCAA Division II national championships in 1967 and 1968, and also produced PGA player Ronnie Black.

In 2005, Lamar’s Dawie Van Der Walt finished fourth individually and Lamar tied for 12th place at the NCAA Men’s Golf Championship, before the Cardinals tied for ninth in 2006 and tied for third in 2007. Former Lamar golfer Casey Clendenon advanced to the semifinals of the U.S. Amateur in 2007.

In women’s tennis, Southeastern Louisiana won 46 consecutive conference matches during a four-year period that began in 2005, while in men’s tennis Texas A&M-Corpus Christi has played in the NCAA tournament five times in the last seven years.

The conference has increased sponsorship and championship opportunities for female student-athletes in recent years, adding women’s golf and soccer as league sports.

In women’s soccer, Stephen F. Austin State midfielder Kylie Louw became the first player in conference history to earn All-Amer-ica honors, when she earned third-team mention by the National Soc-cer Coaches Association of America. A member of the South Africa Olympic team during the 2012 London Olympics, she also garnered first-team Academic All-America honors from the College Sports Information Directors of America. The Ladyjacks have gone 72-12-8 (.826) in conference play during the last 10 seasons.

In women’s golf, the Southland sent two teams to 2012 NCAA regional play for the first time since the league added the sport in 2002. Lamar leads all league teams with four team championships during that span.

The Southland Conference has repeatedly demonstrated its commitment to the academic and athletic success of its student-athletes. With the F.L. McDonald Postgraduate Scholarship Award, the league annually honors one male and one female scholar-athlete with a stipend for postgraduate study. The Scholar-Athlete Award is given to each institution’s male and female student-athlete with the highest grade-point average. The Steve McCarty Citizenship Award, initiated in 2005-06 and named after the former Stephen F. Austin State athletic director, properly recognizes accomplishments off the court for a male and female student-athlete. Also, student-athletes with grade-point averages above 3.0 are honored on the Southland’s annual

All-Academic teams and Commissioner’s Honor Roll. A record 979 student-athletes appeared on the honor roll following the 2012 spring semester, and total of 1,545 student-athletes earned a spot on the honor roll at the end of the fall and spring semesters during the 2012-13 academic year.

While successful on the fields and courts, the Southland Conference has repeatedly demonstrated its commitment to the academic and athletic success of its student-athletes.

The conference continues to make great strides in the classroom. During the last seven years, no other Division I conference has improved its Academic Progress Rate as well as the Southland Conference has. In fact, in 2009-10, the Southland ranked 10th among the 31 Division I leagues in men’s basketball APR. The academic progress the league has shown ultimately leads to higher graduation rates for our student-athletes.

In addition to providing expanding opportunities for student-athletes, the Southland Conference and its member institutions are very involved in various community outreach programs. Many of these programs provide positive life skills training such as academics, citizenship and leadership to school-aged students in Southland communities.

ee De León was hired as the eighth director of athletics in ACU history on Nov. 13, 2014, taking over the Wildcats’ program after Jared Mosley resigned after a 10-year run to become the president and CEO of the Texas Sports Hall of Fame.

“After an extensive national search, I believe we’ve found a leader whose commitment to faith influences all aspects of his life and who he is,” ACU president Dr. Phil Schubert said of De León, who will begin his duties Dec. 1. “Lee also has broad experience in intercollegiate athletics and has been a part of several highly successful NCAA Division I programs. I believe that experience will give him great perspective as we continue to navigate our transition to Division I.

De León becomes the third person to lead Wildcat athletics who didn’t attend Abilene Christian, joining the first director of athletics, A.B. “Bugs” Morris, who served from 1927-69; and Shanon Hays, who served from 2002-03. But the native of Houston is excited to be back in Texas and specifically at ACU.

“I feel so blessed and honored to serve as the director of athletics here,” De León said. “As soon as I set foot on campus, I knew it was a special place. As a Christian university in my home state that recently joined the NCAA Division I ranks, it’s the perfect fit – spiritually, academically and athletically – for my family and me.”

Prior to this new role at ACU, De León was the associate director of athletics for development and executive director of the Lobo Club at the University of New Mexico. While there he was in charge of UNM’s development office for athletics – the Lobo Club – which raises funds for all Lobo teams, programs and student-athletes.

Last year, the club enrolled 4,500 members, the largest total in its 82-year history. De León also managed all facets of a $75 million capital campaign for athletics. In 2013, he led the Lobo Club to its second-highest giving total ever at UNM.

Prior to joining the staff at New Mexico, De León served three years at the University of Arizona, first as the director of annual giving before being promoted to assistant athletics director for major gifts and annual giving. He was involved in all facets of its Wildcat Club, including major gifts and annual fund, while helping the organization enroll a then-record 9,500 members in 2011.

Before his stop in Tucson, Ariz., Lee spent three years at the University of Houston as the assistant director of marketing and later, director of marketing. He led marketing and promotions work for ticketed sports, and managed marketing for football and men’s basketball.

De León also worked at Louisiana State University in 2005 as a marketing assistant for women’s soccer.

After graduating from Notre Dame in 2004, De León earned his master’s degree in sports management from Texas A&M University in 2005. He met his wife, Lacey, at Texas A&M and they have been married seven years and have two sons: Landon (3) and Luke (born Nov. 4, 2014). n

WALLY BULLINGTONDirector of Athletics Emeritus

Former ACU director of athletics Wally Bullington rejoined the Wildcats in September 2001 as director of athletics emeritus, and then became the director of athletics in March 2002 when Stan Lambert announced his resignation.

A 1993 inductee to the ACU Sports Hall of Fame, he serves the athletics program in a fundraising role.

Bullington, elected to the Lone Star Conference Hall of Honor in 1999, served ACU for 39 years as a player, assistant football coach, head football coach and athletics director before he retired in 1988.

After graduating from Athens, Ala., High School in 1949, Bullington headed west to play college football. He was a four-year letterman at Abilene Christian, helping to lead the Wildcats to the only undefeated, untied season (11-0 in 1950) in school history. He was named all-Texas Conference in 1950, 1951 and 1952, and received first team all-America honors at center in 1952.

While Bullington was an assistant coach at Abilene High School, the Eagles won three state championships in football. When he became head coach, he led his team to a 40-19-1 record over six seasons (1960-65).

And in nine years as the head football coach at Abilene Christian (1968-76), his teams had a 62-32-2 record.

Four of his nine Wildcat teams were nationally ranked, he coached ACU to its first NAIA Division I national championship, and coached six first team all-America players, including eventual all-pro running back Wilbert Montgomery.

In 1969, Bullington became the ACU’s athletics director and presided over the Wildcats’ transition from NAIA to NCAA Division II. During his tenure, ACU won 17 national titles, including another football championship in 1977, and 41 Lone Star Conference titles.

Bullington has served as program coordinator for Herald of Truth, an elder for Highland Church of Christ in Abilene and a member of the board for the Abilene Independent School District.

CORY DRISKILLSenior Associate Director of Athletics

Cory Driskill is in his seventh year at ACU and in his second year as the associate director of athletics for student-athlete wellness. He was hired in May 2008 as head athletics trainer and was named to his current post in July 2013.

Driskill will be in charge of facilities, ACU’s three fundraising golf tournaments, a fundraising portfolio focused primarly in Abilene, and oversight of athletics training, strength and conditioning.

He is a certified and licensed athletics trainer by both the National and Southwest Athletic Trainers Association.

At ACU, Driskill is responsible for overseeing sports medicine and the strength and conditioning program, which includes the evaluations, treatment and rehabilitation of

Money Student Recreation and Wellness Center – ACU’s newest building is the 113,000-square-foot, $21 million Royce and Pam Money Student Recreation and Wellness Center, which opened in September 2011. A renovation and expansion of the previous Gibson Health and Physical Education Center, the Money Center is adjacent to Moody Coliseum and is the home of the Department of Kinesiology and Nutrition, the intramurals program, and a fitness center to meet the needs of ACU’s students, faculty and staff. It includes four gymnasiums, a six-lane, Olympic-style lap pool and a leisure pool, bouldering wall, racquetball courts, exercise studios, an eighth-mile track, a Human Performance Lab, classrooms, and counseling and medical clinics.

Powell Fitness Center – Wildcat student-athletes are fortunate to train in the state-of-the-art Powell Fitness Center, which opened in 1993 and was renovated in the spring and summer of 2007, when the size of the facility doubled to more than 8,000 square feet. Included in the center are free weights, cable weights, hammer strength equipment, cardio exercise machines, and other equipment.

Teague Special Events Center – The Teague Special Events Center was dedicated in February 1999 and houses the football offices, locker room, training room facilities, and a large room with three indoor tennis courts. The football locker room, refurbished before the 2006 season with new flooring and lockers, also is in the Teague Center. The facility can seat up to 1,000 people for banquets, and has been the host to luncheons featuring former UCLA head basketball coach John Wooden and the late former PGA legend Byron Nelson.

Moody Coliseum – Moody Coliseum is in its 45th year of hosting basketball at ACU, with the first men’s game there on Feb. 27, 1968. The women’s team began playing in Moody in 1971. The coliseum seats 4,000 for basketball and volleyball.

Shotwell Stadium – The Wildcats began playing football at Shotwell Stadium in 1960, and the 2012 season will be their 53rd season in the facility, which is owned and operated by the Abilene Independent School District. The stadium has undergone some major renovation in the last several years, including the addition before the 2012 season of a SafePlay turf field. In July 2007, a new scoreboard with digital video capabilities was added to the north end of the stadium. New dressing facilities on the south end and new restrooms on the north end were added to the stadium prior to the 2005 season. The first nationally televised game in Shotwell was Aug. 27, 2009, when CBS College Sports broadcast a showdown the Wildcats hosted with Northwest Missouri State in each team’s season opener.

Crutcher Scott Field – When Abilene Christian made the decision to bring baseball back to campus in February 1990, the administration made a commitment to construct a first-class playing facility. What ACU built is one of the finest facilities in college baseball. The 4,000-seat, lighted Crutcher Scott Field is home to the Wildcats. Bleachers and lights were added before the 1992 season, and prior to the 1995 season the seating capacity was increased to 4,000, and the press box was added. The home clubhouse was added before the 1997 season. The dimensions of the field are 335 feet down the lines, 380 feet to the power alleys and 400 to center field.

Wells Field – Wells Field will serve as the Wildcats’ softball home for the 19th season in 2015. It was officially dedicated March 29, 1997, as A.E. “Poly” and Zieta Wells Field.

Construction on the Judi and Cecil Eager Tennis Pavilion began in Fall 2001 and was completed in time for the Fall 2002 season. Eager served as the ACU men’s and women’s tennis coach for 12 years (1977-83 and 1986-90). The pavilion has covered seating (approximately 175 seats, including some chairback seating) and is located west of the four championship courts and east of the Teague Special Events Center.

Elmer Gray Stadium – Elmer Gray Stadium has been a large part of track and field history in the United States. It’s where world-record-holders

Bobby Morrow, Earl Young, James Segrest, Bill Woodhouse and Billy Olson practiced and competed as members of legendary ACU track and field squads. It’s where coaches Oliver Jackson, Bill McClure, Don W. Hood and Wes Kittley performed their magic day in and day out. And it’s where celebrated U.S. athletes such as Wilma Rudolph, Michael Johnson and Antonio Pettigrew competed.

THISISACU

he remarkable success of ACU Wildcat student-athletes through the years is a tribute to the student-athletes, the coaches and the tradition of winning permeating the program. ACU recruits its student-athletes for their academic and spiritual qualities, as well as their abilities in athletics.

ACU’s intercollegiate athletics program began in 1919 when the football and men’s basketball teams were started. Former director of athletics A.B. Morris served as the head football and head men’s basketball coach during his long tenure at ACU. Former football coach A.M. “Tonto” Coleman went on to serve as the commissioner of the famed Southeastern Conference, and former track and field mentor Oliver Jackson coached three-time Olympic gold medalist Bobby Morrow – still called by some the greatest sprinter who ever lived.

Wildcat student-athletes have been blessed by a wealth of some of the top coaches in collegiate athletics, including Bill McClure (track and field), Wally Bullington (football), Dee Nutt (men’s basketball), Burl McCoy (women’s basketball), Wes Kittley (track and field), Don W. Hood (track and field), Don D. Hood (track and field), Brek Horn

(volleyball), Vince Jarrett (men’s golf), Jon Murray (cross country and track and field), and Chris Thomsen (football). Current coaches such as Julie Goodenough (women’s basketball) and Hutton Jones (men’s and women’s tennis) are at the top of their profession.

No intercollegiate athletics program in the state of Texas – at any level – can claim as many national championships as ACU, which has won 64 team titles since 1952. Of them, 57 have come at the NCAA Division II level, the fifth-most NCAA national championships in history behind only UCLA, Stanford, USC and swimming powerhouse Kenyon College.

ACU’s 54 national titles in track and field are the most in one sport by any university in the country. The Wildcats won 160 Lone Star Conference championships from 1973-2013 and have enjoyed some remarkable championship winning streaks. The men’s track and field team won 18 straight LSC championships (27 overall), and the women’s track and field team won each of the first 20 LSC titles before its streak ended in 2004. The men’s cross country team saw its LSC championship streak ended in November 2011 at 20 straight.

ACU student-athletes also have been awarded some of their sports highest individual honors, the most recent in 2008 when running back Bernard

Wes Kittley (’81) and the Wildcat track and field program collected plenty of hardware during the 1990s. Before he left to become the head coach at Texas Tech University in 1997, Kittley’s teams won 29 NCAA Division II track and field championships, the second most in NCAA history.

In 2007, cross country standout Nicodemus Naimadu became the first athlete in NCAA history – male or female, any level – to win four consecutive individual national championships. In 2009, decathlete Camille Vandendriessche became the first athlete in NCAA history to win three straight individual national championships in the decathlon. One year later, Linda Brivule became the first female in NCAA Division II history to win the individual national championship in the javelin.

ACU’s internationally recognized track and field program has produced world-record holders, more than 20 Olympians, several hundred all-America performers and two Olympic gold medalists. In addition, the program was named the Texas Sports Dynasty of the Century by Texas Monthly magazine in November 1999.

Wildcat teams won 160 Lone Star Conference titles from 1973-2013, more than twice its closest competitor. Also, ACU has produced 32 NCAA Post-Graduate Scholarship honorees since 1966.

The Wildcats also are heavily represented in Halls of Fame across the country, the most recent in 2014 when former track and field standout and 1960 Olympic gold medalist Earl Young was inducted into the Texas Track and Field Coaches’ Association Hall of Fame.

Bobby Morrow is in four different halls of fame: Drake Relays, U.S. Olympic, U.S. Track and Field and Texas Sports. Oliver Jackson is a member of the Texas Sports and U.S. Track Coaches halls of fame, and more than 50 other former Wildcats are recognized by other such organizations around the nation.

Abilene Christian was the only university in NCAA Division II to have been ranked in the top 15 in each of the first 16 Learfield Directors’ Cup final standings, including second in 1995-96, 1996-97, 1998-99, and 2005-06. The Wildcats finished in the top four in four other seasons. n

Our Mission:TO HONOR CHRIST THROUGH EXCELLENCE IN ACADEMICS AND ATHLETICS

#ACUE4C

We want student-athletes who fit Abilene Christian University, and who fit into this program. We want kids who will fit the mission and vision of this university and can handle it academically. We will be unwavering in pursuing that type of player.

“We’d like to continue to sign really good high school guys who fit this program and university. I’m excited that next year we’ll have a lot of the guys back from this year’s team, and we’ll add some good high school players to that mix.

“Moving forward, we’re building our program on four principles: character, preparation, performance and results. At the NCAA Division I level, we have to be careful to not judge everything in results. Character has to be at the foundation of everything we do in our program. Then we look at our preparation, and what kind of performance did that lead to in a game? If we do all of those things right, the results will take care of themselves. As long as we continue to grow and get better, we’ll have our program where it needs to be in very short order.

“Right now, though, we need to have realistic goals, and that means that we want to put a great product on the floor every night and win games in the Southland Conference.”
