A key factor in the loss was Pittsburgh’s subpar effort from the free throw line that saw the Panthers convert just 43.5 percent (10 of 23) from the line for the game, including 3 of 10 in the final 10 minutes. Pittsburgh held a 52-38 advantage with 1 3:44 remaining in the second half when VCU launched its decisive rally. The Rams went on a 20-6 scoring surge over the next 10 minutes ignited by Jones’ 1 1 points to tie the score at 58 with 3:16 to go in regulation. Neither team could gain more than a two-point advantage in the final minutes and Bo Jones’ iumper with 1 2 seconds to go allowed the Rams to tie the score at 66 and send the game into overtime. VCU’s L.F. Likcholitov sank six points in overtime to help the Rams take control of the period and lead them to the win. Isaac Hawkins posted his most productive game of the season with 21 points and 1 2 rebounds. Ricardo Greer also recorded a double-double, marking his fourth of the year, with 20 points and 10 rebounds. Junior Chad Johnson also scored in double figures with 1 1 points.

The setback came despite 52.8 percent shooting for the game and a six-point halftime advantage. Pittsburgh held a 53-49 lead at the 10:44 mark of the second half, but a 9-2 Duquesne run put the Dukes ahead, 58-55, with 8:17 to go. The Panthers bounced back, but the Dukes took another three-point lead, 66-63, at 3:15. Julius Page’s 3-pointer gave Pittsburgh the 70-68 advantage with iust 1:27 left. Moments later Aaron Love|ace’s free throw brought Duquesne within one. Lovelace then sank a layup with two seconds remaining to give Duquesne a 71 -70 advantage. Pittsburgh had a chance to tie the game and send it into overtime after a technical foul on Duquesne’s bench at the two-second mark, but Page’s free-throw attempt failed. Duquesne iumped to an early 17-7 lead in the contest. Pittsburgh’s 1 3-3 scoring surge on the strength of Chad Johnson's eight points, knotted the score at 20 with 7:34 to go in the first half. Duquesne took the lead twice more before Pittsburgh closed out the half on a 9-2 run to take a 37-31 lead into intermission. For the second-straight game, the Panthers were outrebounded as the Dukes held a 34-29 advantage on the glass. Pittsburgh also continued to struggle from the free throw line, connecting on just 6 of its 15 attempts for 40 percent. Pittsburgh (70) Player Min.

New Orleans, however, methodically cut its deficit and came within 50-45 with 5:46 left. Just 30 seconds later, Greer ended the rally when he scored on a power move to the hoop and was fouled. He converted the 3-point play and the Panthers pulled away from the Privateers by closing the game on a 12-1 run.

The win marked the first time the Panthers beat a ranked opponent since defeating No. 23 Miami, 60-54, on Jan. 30, 1999. After Page's iump shot with 3:11 remaining put Pittsburgh ahead, 65-59, a 3-pointer from the Pirates’ Andre Barrett brought Seton Hall within three. Page answered with a 3-pointer of his own at the 2:24 mark and the Panthers never looked back, scoring 12 of the game’s final 15 points. The Panthers broke a 35-35 halftime tie by scoring nine unanswered points through the first two minutes of the period and never trailed. Pittsburgh held as much as a 10 point lead three times in the half before Seton Hall rallied but the Pirates could never come within more than three points. The two teams battled through the first half and tied the score four times in the first 12 minutes. Two free throws from Ricardo Greer and a Toree Morris dunk put the Panthers ahead, 19-15, with 9:58 to go. Seton Hall responded with a 3-pointer from Eddie Griffin and six points from Samuel Dalembert to spark a rally that gave the Pirates a 24-21 lead at the 7:07 mark, but it proved to be their final lead of the game. Pittsburgh shot 50.9 percent (28 of 55) overall for the game, including 42.9 percent (6 of 14) from 3-point range, while limiting Seton Hall to 40 percent (26 of 65) overall and just 20.8 percent (5 of 24) from behind the arc.

The Panthers were held to a season-low 31.3 percent (20 of 64) shooting from the field, which included 21.9 percent (7 of 32) in the first half. The Irish opened up an 1 1-0 lead through the first five minutes of the game after Pittsburgh missed its first 1 1 shots and had four turnovers. Pittsburgh brought the score to 14-9 at 1 2:10 off Isaac Hawkins’ layup but that was as close as the Panthers would get. The Irish closed out the half on a 17-5 run to build a 40-18 halftime lead. Pittsburgh opened the second half on a 9-2 scoring surge to cut its deficit to 42-27 with 16:45 remaining. After two Notre Dame free throws and a Ryan Humphrey layup, the Panthers launched an 1 1-2 run capped by Zelimir Stevanovic’s 3-pointer to bring Pittsburgh within 10, 48-38, but it would come no closer. Despite the loss, Pittsburgh outrebounded Notre Dame, 45-40. Jaron Brown led the Panthers with a career high 12 points, while Ricardo Greer added 1 1 with nine rebounds.

The victory snapped the Hoyas’ 16-game unbeaten streak and marked the highest ranked opponent Pittsburgh has defeated since a 68-56 win over No. 4 Kentucky, Nov. 27, 1998 in the Puerto Rico Shootout. The Hoyas led, 66-65, with 3:52 left, but the Panthers held Georgetown scoreless for the remainder of the game. Page’s iumper gave Pittsburgh the lead for good, 67-66, at the 3:21 mark and a Ricardo Greer dunk with 24 seconds left sealed the upset. Key in the victory was Pittsburgh's 60 percent (15-of-25) shooting in the second half, including 4- of-9 3-pointers. Overall the Panthers shot 51.9 percent from the field (28-of-54) and hit a season-high 10-of-23 3-pointers (43.5). The Panthers hot-shooting helped compensate for a decided height disadvantage which resulted in a 42-28 Hoya rebounding edge. Page hit four 3-pointers, while Donatas Zavackas, who finished with 1 1 points, hit three. Greer added 15 points of his own. Page helped set the tone early for the upset with a spectacular play in the first half. With the Panthers trailing 11-6, Page drove the lane and tomahawk dunked over 7-0 center Reuben Boumtie Boumtie to ignite a 12-2 run that resulted in a 18-13 Panther lead with 10:31 left. Pittsburgh still led, 28-22, with 4:04 remaining before Georgetown closed the half on a 13-5 run to lead, 35-33, at halftime. Undaunted, Pittsburgh opened the second half with a 12-4 spurt to take a 45-39 lead with 15:33 remaining.

The loss was the Panthers’ third straight on the year and fourth straight in Morgantown. A driving layup by West Virginia's Tim Lyles with 1 8 seconds to go provided the winning points. Pittsburgh’s last possession ended when Brandin Knight's lob pass to Julius Page was broken up iust before time expired. Pittsburgh trailed by as many as 14 in the first half and 40-32 at intermission. But behind a heroic performance by Ricardo Greer, the Panthers rallied. A 17-4 run to start the second half gave Pittsburgh a 51-48 lead with 12:45 left. The final 10:25 witnessed six ties, the last coming at 64-64 with 3:14 left. Pittsburgh’s last lead came with 32 seconds to go when Greer, who scored a game-high 25 points, hit a layup for a 68-67 advantage. The senior, who had struggled in recent games with an array of iniuries, finished 10 of 18 from the field and grabbed 1 1 rebounds for his seventh double- double of the season. Greer’s performance, though, was overshad- owed by the play of Lyles, who finished with 17 points. Besides his game-winning shot, Lyles also hit a crucial 3-pointer with 2:15 left that gave WVU a 67-66 lead. Donatas Zavackas scored 12 points, while Knight had eight points, eight assists and iust one turnover for the Panthers. Pittsburgh (68) Player Min.

The loss marked the Panthers’ fourth in a row and dropped their record to 12-11 overall (4-8 Big East). Rutgers, which shot 56.6 percent (30 of 53) from the field for the game and 75 percent (12 of 16) from 3-point range, outscored Pittsburgh 50-32 in the second half after shooting a blistering 63 percent (17 of 27) overall in the period, including 7-of-8 3-point attempts. Pittsburgh trailed, 34-32, after halftime, but back-to-back 3-pointers from Jeff Greer inside the first two minutes put Rutgers ahead, 40-32. After the Scarlet Knights increased their lead to nine, 45-36, at 16:57, the Panthers cut their deficit to four twice over the next six minutes with the last time coming at 10:42, 52-48, on a Zelimir Stevanovic iumper.

The victory clinched a winning season for the Panthers for the first time since 1996-97 and further solidified their postseason credentials. Key in the game’s result was a 22-5 second-half surge by Pittsburgh that turned a one-point Panther lead into a commanding 63-45 advantage with 3:50 to go. Pittsburgh led 41-40 with 15:31 left but six different players scored during the decisive run, led by Jaron Brown’s six points, to push the lead to 18 in the game's waning moments. Brown, who was making his sixth start of the season, was a sparkplug the entire game, matching his career high with 12 points and collecting a game-high four steals. Three additional Panthers scored in double figures, including Ricardo Greer, who had a game-high 17, Julius Page, who had 12 points, and Isaac Hawkins, who had 1 1. The Panthers began the game strongly, racing to an early 9-0 lead with Greer hitting two 3-pointers and Page sinking one. Pittsburgh pushed the lead to double-digits, 21-11, after another Page trey with 12:35 left. Virginia Tech responded with a surge of its own and closed to within 27-23 with under six minutes left. The Hokies then scored the last four points of the half to trail 34-31 at intermission. Virginia Tech came within one twice in the second half before the Panthers pulled away. They achieved their biggest lead, 70-49, with 25 seconds left when Griffin Abel made a nifty driving reverse layup. Pittsburgh forced 16 Hokie turnovers, including 12 in the second half. The Panthers, meanwhile, had just eight turnovers and 17 assists. Virginia Tech (51) Player Mm.

The victory marked the Panthers’ first since the 1997 tournament when they defeated Connecti- cut in an opening-round game. Ricardo Greer fueled the win, scoring a game-high 27 points and grabbing 1 1 rebounds. The Panthers dominated Miami on the boards, holding a 40-27 advantage, and limited the Hurricanes to just 5-of-22 shooting (23 percent) from behind the arc. Pittsburgh began the game strongly and would lead by as many as 16 points in the first half. Miami closed to within 37-26 by intermis- sion and trailed by iust two points with 8:37 to go. The Hurricanes could draw no closer, though, as the Panthers used a 20-9 run over the next seven-and-a-half minutes to go back up by double-digits and put the game away. Greer scored nine points during the decisive run to record his ninth double-double of the year. Brandin Knight, who keyed Pittsburgh’s victory over Miami earlier in the year, was also instrumental in this win, scoring 1 6 points and grabbing six rebounds. Donatas Zavackas also contributed 16 points, including a 6-of-6 performance from the free-throw line. The Panthers’ strong defensive effort limited two of Miami’s top threats — Darius Rice and John Salmons — to a combined five points. Dwayne Wimbley led the Hurricanes with 20 points.

The Panthers had four players score in double-figures and utilized a stifling defensive effort to limit Irish All-American Troy Murphy to just eight points. The result was back-to-back wins in the tournament for the first time in school history. Ricardo Greer again paced the Panthers offense, scoring 17 points on 7-of-1 1 shooting and grabbing eight rebounds. Jaron Brown continued his inspired play by coming off the bench to score a career-high 14 points, while Brandin Knight had an unconventional double- double with 10 points and 1 1 assists. Defense, though, was the story of this game. Murphy failed to score in double-figures for the first time in 78 games as he made just 2-of-1 1 shots. The Panthers punished the Irish on the boards, holding a 39-25 advantage, and limited Notre Dame to iust four offensive rebounds. Pittsburgh raced to a 15-2 lead by the 14:18 mark before Notre Dame responded with a 15- 2 run of their own to tie the score at 17 almost four minutes later. The Irish would pull in front and led 26-23 with 4:51 to go before the Panthers closed with a 13-3 run to go up 36-29 at intermission. Notre Dame drew within 42-38 with 14:20 left in the game but Pittsburgh put the Irish at arm's length again with a 6-0 run.

The win put the Panthers in the tournament final for the first time in their 19-year affiliation with the Big East. Isaac Hawkins made the second of two free throws with three seconds left to provide the winning point. Syracuse’s ensuing inbounds pass was broken up as the Panthers broke a seven- game winless streak against the Orangemen. Hawkins finished with 17 points and 1 2 rebounds to pace Pittsburgh. Donatas Zavackas had 14 points and hit four 3-pointers, while Ricardo Greer had 12 points. Brandin Knight dished out a game-high nine assists. Greer provided one of the game’s biggest plays when he drained a 3-pointer to tie the score at 54 with 2:48 left in overtime. The shot came iust 28 seconds after DeShaun Williams’ 3-pointer had given Syracuse a 54-51 lead. The game would remain tied until Knight found Hawkins underneath the basket with a precision pass with iust seconds left. Hawkins was fouled upon getting the ball, setting the stage for his winning free throw. The game was a tight affair throughout. Pittsburgh enjoyed the largest lead of the game at 48-42 with 6:35 left before the Orangemen scored six straight points to tie the game at the 2:08 mark. Hawkins’ short jumper put the Panthers back in front but Allen Griffin, who had a game-high 19 points, tied it again with 1:1 1 left.

The city of Pittsburgh and Oakland campus setting — complete with all of its ioys and hardships, its competition, exhilaration, hopes and disappointments — can offer students many characteristics of the real world following graduation. At Pitt, an education can come to life. Learning is not relegated to textbooks and chalkboards. An English writing major can put their studies to use by working at the student newspaper, The Pitt News. A business maior can gain hands-on experience at one of the many corporations headquartered in downtown Pittsburgh. Students involved in the sciences can visit the Carnegie Science Center or the Allegheny Observatory. The educational opportunities are endless. Students also have the opportunity to discover new interests and expand their knowledge through the numerous guest speakers and entertainers of international fame who visit the University each year. Pitt has attracted such people in question- and-answer sessions as former Vice President Al Gore, former White House Press Secretary Mike McCurry (who made his first public appearance at Pitt after leaving office), acclaimed author Maya Angelou, CNN talk show host Larry King, General Norman Schwarzkopf and the “Piano Man,” Billy Joel. This Q past year, minority owner and former president of the Philadelphia 76ers basketball team, Pat Croce and Mike Ditka, former tight end for the Panthers as well as head coach of the 1986 Super Bowl Champion Chicago Bears spoke to students at Pitt. Along with its formal education, Pitt offers a wide range of over 300 clubs and organizations—spanning from auto racing to the pre-med society—-to supplement a student's learning experience. One of Pitt's most inviting advantages is its close proximity to downtown Pittsburgh, one of the nation’s largest cities. Consistently ranked as one of the top 10 most liveable cities (Rand McNally Places Rated Almanac), Pittsburgh provides an abundance of opportunities for its students in career exploration from internships in Fortune 500 companies, clerkships and residencies in major law and medical facilities. The Pitt campus is also minutes away from the homes of the Steelers, Pirates and Penguins, and national-caliber rock concerts, symphony, opera, theater and ballet. ..

From its days as the “Gateway to the West” to its famous steeltown age and now as a cultural and arts haven, Pittsburgh has been hailed as one of the top places to live in the United States. There is an unmatched beauty as you cross one of the many Pittsburgh bridges and take a look down one of the three rivers—the Allegheny, Monongahela and Ohio. The view is awe-inspiring from the heights of Mount Washington or coming out of the Fort Pitt Tunnel. The rivers surround Pittsburgh, keeping the buildings nestled in the “Golden Triangle,” guarded by the fabulous fountain at the city’s Point and separat- ing it from the various ethnic neighborhoods that all have one thing in common—-a blue-collar work ethic that has been handed down to each generation. Those neighborhoods are full of pre- modern churches, giving them a nostalgic sense even as more modern architecture is built around them. ln the past year, Pittsburgh has undergone yet another renaissance, as the majestic new stadiums, PNC Park and Heinz Field, have been erected and the new David Lawrence Convention Center is under construction and scheduled to be completed in March of 2003. There is something for everyone in Pittsburgh. For children, there is the Children's Festival, the Pittsburgh Zoo and Kennywood Park, rated the sixth-best amusement park in the world even as it nears its second century of existence. For anyone looking to mix learning and excitement, there is the Carnegie Science Center and its World War ll submarine that patrons can board and view up close. The Three Rivers Arts Festival and Three Rivers Regatta are perennial events that bring thousands of visitors to the city to enjoy cultural activities in Point State Park. , A recent resurgence in the performing arts has welcomed a slew of world- renowned actors, actresses, stage technicians, musicians and opera singers to the numerous cultural centers. The renovated Byham Theater, Benedum Center and Heinz Hall and the new O’Rei|ly Theater host a variety of shows and performances throughout the year. New medical facilities have helped Pittsburgh continue to be on the cutting edge of the health profession. Many of those facilities are housed in Oakland, also the site of the University of Pittsburgh's main campus. Oakland has emerged as a city of its own -‘with museums and the beautiful Schenley Park. The city of Pittsburgh has provided L excitement and thrills for over two centu- ries, but it has also supplied millions of P people with a fabulous place to call home. 1.000-muur cum 1. #32 01141113 3141711 11904-03] 2.045 6-10 ' 230 ' Center ' Bridgeport, CT (Warren Harding) Year G GS _ W WA Pd. 3W 3FGA Pd.

The 1 927-28 squad won Pittsburgh’s first mythical national title by winning all 21 games, averaging a then phenomenal 38 points per game. The 1929-30 team would repeat as national champion, going 23-2, but the 1 927-28 club remains the only one to go undefeated in Pittsburgh history. The star of those teams was six-foot forward Charley Hyatt, Pittsburgh’s first All-America basketball player. A three-time All-American, Hyatt led the nation in scoring twice. During his years in a Pittsburgh uniform, the Panthers were an outstanding 60-7. The center for Pittsburgh’s national championship team was Jerry Wunderlich, and the backcourt consisted of Stash Wrobleski and Sykes Reed, a 1928 All-American. Wrobleski and Reed had been teammates at Braddock High School, so Coach Doc Carlson did not have very far to go to recruit players. According to The Owl (the Pittsburgh Yearbook), the 1927-28 Panthers were “universally recognized as national champions, having hung up the best collegiate record in the country.” Pittsburgh’s toughest game that season was at home against Notre Dame, in which the Panthers’ only lead of the game came when Hyatt made a last-second shot to give Pittsburgh a 24-22 victory. Pittsburgh had two other All-America players during that era, Don Smith in 1933 and Claire Cribbs in 1934 and 1935. In 1934, Carlson agreed to _ . _ _ have his Panthers travel to Atlanta to participate with three other schools in '::7;l,:y,:);g:,vf/I::ahlll1::ll«l:::;1l1:gf‘l:;“;:1:::1:¢l a series of exhibition games at the National Association of Basketball ,0 a pa,-, of ,,a,,-°,,a, c;,amP,-°,,,,,,-P,_ Coaches Convention, an organization that he helped found. The tourna- ment was a direct forerunner to the NCAA Tournament. Pittsburgh’s varsity basketball team, circa 1915. Seated on the far right is H.C. “Doc” Carlson, who was also an All-America football player for the Panthers during the Glenn “Pop” Warner era. TIIE lE(iEtllllll1Y enry Clifford Carlson, M.D., was more than Pittsburgh’s most successful basketball coach ever, winning 367 games in 31 years of coaching (1922-53). He was a college basketball pioneer who etched his name in the annals of coaching and helped mold the formative stages of college basketball. The innovations he brought to a develop- ing sport also brought him national recognition and reserved him enshrinement in the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame. Dr. Carlson was one of the game's chief innovators in its early years. Pittsburgh was one of the first teams to use the double-team on defense and the give- and-go on offense. The Panthers experi- mented with the use of oxygen on the bench, a practice that was featured in Life lie. "nae" magazine. When the center iump was eliminated after every basket, as Carlson had advocated, many screamed that the young men of the time would drop of exhaustion and heart failure with the increased level of activity. But Carlson engineered studies showing that basket- ball could be played this way without fear of harm to the players. It was his 'Car|son Continuities,' though, that brought him and the Panthers national attention in the ’20s and '30s. It was the first weave of the time featuring movement, cutting and passing. Carlson did not just concern himself with strategy. Although it was not considered proper at the time, he was one of the first coaches to actively question officials’ calls, his favorite ploy being to take off his glasses and offer them to the offending official. He was an early proponent of the “no harm, no foul" interpretation, because he was concerned about the constant trips to the foul line interrupting the flow of the game. He also first voiced warnings about how basketball coaches were becoming more recruiters than teachers, and how it was wrong to lower admission standards for college athletes. But Carlson brought a good dose of levity to the coaching profession — along with the ice cream he would often serve to his players at halftime of games. He would sometimes — when the officials weren't looking — throw a towel on the court, then put his hands in his pockets and look the other way, much like the innocent little boy. He once had a player (Lou Cecconi, who also played and later coached football at Pittsburgh), get up on another player’s shoulders so that he would have a better vantage point for passing and shooting. “When you were down in the dumps, you wondered whether you should speak to your priest or Doc Carlson,” wrote Jim O’Brien in Hail To Pitt: A Sports History of the University of Pittsburgh. “Doc Carlson was a healer. He could seize your heart without a scalpel and sutures. And he Carlson was an All-America end on Pittsburgh’s undefeated 1917 football team. He was a four-time letterwinner in football, basketball and baseball. »~13$— “Doc” Carlson won two national championships while compiling a 367-247 record over 31 years to earn him a spot in the Basketball Hall of Fame in Springfield, Missouri. could ease the pain. His smile was more quieting than a sedative.” Although he is most widely recognized for his work as Pittsburgh’s basketball coach, Carlson also attained great success on the football field as one of Pop Warner’s finest players. He was a team captain and All-America end for Pittsburgh’s undefeated 1917 squad. Carlson won four letters each in basket- ball, football and baseball, and was an assistant football coach during Jock Suther|and’s time at Pitt. He received his M.D. degree from Pitt's School of Medi- cine in 1920, and became the sixth basketball coach in Panther history in 1922. “Of all the teachers I had at Pitt—and I got my bachelor's, master’s and doctorate degrees there—Carlson had to be one of the greatest teachers 1 had at the school,” said the late Dr. Michael Radvansky, who played for Carlson from 1936-38, and is a former member of the University’s board of trustees. Doc Carlson died at his summer home near Ligonier, Pa., on Nov. 1, 1964 at the age of 70. 1940-41 flllfll Fllllfl TEAM ow many people can say they served H their country during World War II and also played in the NCAA Final Four? The members of Pittsburgh’s 1940-41 basketball team can. Because Pittsburgh’s players were not very tal|—even by 1 9405 standards—they received several colorful nicknames, such as “Rinkydinks,” “Little Toughies” and “Busy Bees." Nevertheless, the team succeeded on and off the court. "We took great pride in our ballplaying as well as our commitment to education," said Ed Raymond, who captained the squad the following season. "The players on our team strived for an education. We had to attend class and we had to do well." These Panthers made Pittsburgh's first-ever NCAA Tournament appearance in which they defeated North Carolina, 26-20, before losing to Wisconsin, 36-30. Because the 1940-41 schedule had Pitts- burgh playing its first six games on the road, the Panthers opened with a 4-2 record. The first trip included a midwestern road trip at Wisconsin, Illinois, Northwestern, Butler, Michigan and Ohio State. Pittsburgh finished the Final Four year with a 13-6 record. All 1 1 members of the team graduated and were veterans of World War II. "During the season, I thought about the war a lot," said team member Jon Swacus. "Frequently, I would listen to the radio and read the newspaper, wanting to be updated about the world's events. But it didn't affect my basket- ball." 1940-41 PANTHERS COACH H.C.

PITT Plllllll ost people strictly know ; Pitt Stadium as the former , home of University of Pittsburgh football. And, indeed, it was for 74 seasons until it was razed in early 2000 to make way for the new Petersen Events Center. Younger generations, though, may be unaware that for 27 yea rs Panther basketball called Pitt Stadium home. Deep within the bowels of the south end of the big bowl was a place that came to be known in its later days as “The Hole.’' In an earlier life, “The Hole’’ had some other names. Fans, athletes and sportswriters used such appropriate labels as The Icebox, chilly arena and dark, dank dungeon. For the record, its official name was The Pitt Pavilion, though there was certainly no sign or marquee to ever prove it. But it did serve as a cozy—albeit frigid—home court advantage for Pittsburgh's basketball teams from 1924- 1951. Doc Carlson was the Panthers’ only basketball coach during the basketball team’s tenancy there. Written descriptions of The Pavilion’s interior would make today’s fire marshals squirm with anguish. There was only one main entrance to access the main stadium, then a single door which led into The Pavilion. Wooden bleachers were erected over three dirt hills for the cramped “comfort” of approximately 4,000 spectators. The fourth side of the building was the concrete stadium wall, which happened to be within arm’s reach of the unofficially-sized basketball court’s end line. The Pavilion had one tiny locker room for the Panthers. As for their guests, well, they just The Pitt Pavilion was Pittsburgh's located inside of what was Pitt Stadium and on the current site of the Petersen Events Center, the future home of Panther basketball. home court from 1924-51. It was had to dress in the visiting football team’s locker room, which happened to be a good 60-yard sprint through the December, January and February nights. Despite the shoddy surroundings, The Pavilion was the site for many outstanding basketball games. John Wooden, the legendary basketball coach who won 10 national championships at UCLA from 1 964-75, was a member of the 1930-31 Purdue team which lost to Pittsburgh at The Pavilion, 24-22. That same year, Tim Lawry, a Pittsburgh player from Allegheny High School, made three straight shots late in the game as Pittsburgh erased a Notre Dame lead to win in overtime, 35-32. The late Moose Krause, who later served as Notre Dame's athletics director, played for that Irish team. Charley Hyatt, probably Pittsburgh’s greatest basketball player before 1950, preserved the Panthers’ undefeated season in 1 928 when he took a pass from Paul Zehfuss and hit a last- second shot to upend Notre Dame, 24-22. The last college basketball game played at The Pavilion had a similar ending, as Pittsburgh’s Scott Phillips, a sophomore reserve, hit a bank shot which beat West Virginia, 74-72, in March of 1951. Over the years, The Pavilion also hosted the WPIAL playoffs, and the Pittsburgh Renaissance basketball team (which included Connie Hawkins) of the old American Basketball League used The Pavilion as its preseason training camp site during the early 1960s. The University of Pittsburgh honored its T940-4l Final Four team in 1997 at Fitzgerald Field House.

Teams hile most accountings of Pittsburgh’s basketball heritage make note of the school's strong teams during the late I 9205, then fast-forward history) that same year; 23 times in his career with at least 30 points in a game. Pittsburgh fans had an inkling that Don Hennon was going to be something special when the 5-8 sharp-shooting guard from Wampum (Pa.) High School scored 34 points in his Pittsburgh debut as a sophomore against North Carolina State. Little more than two years later (I958), Hennon’s basketball-playing career ended with his selection as a first team All-American, along with Wilt Chamberlain, Bob Boozer, Elgin Baylor, Oscar Robertson and Guy Rodgers. For 19 years, Don Hennon’s l,84l points stood as the most by anyone in Pittsburgh basketball annals, before Larry Harris topped that, only to be surpassed by Clyde Vaughan, who was eventually replaced by Charles Smith. Don Hennon went on to become Dr. Don Hennon, a general surgeon at nearby Allegheny General Hospital, Passavant Hospital and Suburban General Hospital. “I wanted to be a physician when I came to Pittsburgh," Hennon observed during an interview. ‘‘I wanted to be a doctor; I didn't know then that I’d be a surgeon. I never worried about not being 6-6.” Hennon led a resurgence in the Pittsburgh basketball program, leading the team to an I 8- 7 record in 1957-58, the school's second straight NCAA tournament appearance and the Panthers' best record since I 935. Hennon, who still lives in the Pittsburgh area, was named a Varsity Letterman of Distinction in 1985. to I973-74, and then to the Big East years, in retrospect, the Panther quintets of the mid-I 9505 to the mid-1960s produced some quality teams as well-— and a few colorful characters, to say the least. Beano Cook, a longtime sports commentator and Pittsburgh’s sports information director from 1956-1 966, observed first-hand all the bounces, fortunes and misfortunes of Panther basketball during that time. Since those years came well before the television sports boom, the names and players associated with Pittsburgh basketball could hardly have been called household names at the time—not even around the Pittsburgh area. Maior league baseball and college football were still kings of the nation's sports scene, but that era nevertheless produced some of the biggest names in the University of Pittsburgh’s history. “The attitude at Pitt used to be that basket- ball was something between football seasons,” Cook maintains. ‘‘If we had a good team, it was by accident.” The play of guard Don Hennon (see other story) was no accident. The sharpshooting guard from Wampum, Pa., was a first team All- American, and a big-time player in anyone’s era. “He was a shooter,” remembers Cook, “and he would have been better today with the three-pointer. He would have been as I effective in today’s game.” Around that same period of time, Dr. V , I‘ , Jonas Salk was involved in research 7 I ”..,fi‘ work at Pitt that led him to Q ‘ T ) A discover a successful vaccine for the dreaded disease called polio. 3 0 Cook, recognizing a tremendous opportunity to seize positive publicity not only for Hennon, but the University of Pittsburgh as well, tried to arrange for a photo of Salk and Hennon posed together with the proposed caption: “Pitt's Two Best Shot Makers.” “I kept trying to reach him (Salk),” recalls Cook. "I left him messages, but never heard back from him. So finally, one day I'm sitting at my desk, and the phone rings. ‘This is Dr. Salk.’ At the time, he was iust so big, so famous...| froze. But I explained to him that I wanted to have him pose with Don Hennon outside the Don Hennon was named first team All- America in I958 along with Wilt Chamber- lain, Elgin Baylor and Oscar Robertson. ._ - 1-135? Brian Generalovich ranks 22nd on the Panthers’ all-time scoring list with 1,114 points and averaged 8.6 rebounds per contest for his career. Cathedral of Learning. And you know what he said to me? He said, ‘Who's Don Hennon?’ Needless to say, we never did get the picture.” Around that same period, Pittsburgh also had players such as Bob Lazor and John Riser, both of whom are members of Pittsburgh’s l,OOO- point club. The 1957 Panthers lost to Ken- tucky—at Kentucky—in the NCAA Tournament. “If we had played them anywhere else but Kentucky, that night, we would have won. We only lost by a few points,” Cook said. Mike Ditka, Pittsburgh’s All-America football player who later gained fame as both a player and coach in the National Football League, was a two-time basketball letterman for the Panthers. He was a member of a Pittsburgh team that played in Lexington, and his style of play raised the ire of The Old Baron (Adolph Rupp) himself. “We were playing Kentucky a little closer than people thought we could, and their players kept setting all these screens, so (Pittsburgh Head Coach Bob) Timmons put Ditka in,” says Cook. “Needless to say, two minutes of Ditka, and those screens weren't as steady as they were.” Another player who played a little football for the Panthers and brought a rugged, physical brand of basketball to the hardwood was Brian Generalovich. Now a dentist, Generalovich played one season (I 964) on the gridiron, but is most remembered for his basketball skills. “He was tough," says Cook. “(NBA executive) Eddie Donovan always told me that Generalovich would have been like Dave DeBuscherre in the pros...he was that good.” The Panthers made one NCAA and one NIT Tournament appearance during Generalovich's ~ Pittsburgh basketball career. Bllll. TIIE AMIIEBA MAN 8. TIMMV Gllllfl Timmons—who had coached the Panthers for 15 seasons—Pittsburgh officials didn’t have to look far to find a replacement, tabbing 47-year-old Charles “Buzz” Ridl as the new man to direct Pittsburgh’s hoop fortunes. Ridl had posted an impressive .704 winning percentage in 12 seasons at Westminster College, an NAIA school 65 ‘miles north of Pittsburgh in New Wilmington, Pennsylvania. His 1 961 -62 Titans were voted the number-one small college team in the nation. A holdover from Timmons’s staff was 26-year-old Tim Grgurich, a former Pittsburgh player who had played in two postseason tournaments with the Panthers. Following his first season at Pittsburgh, Ridl invited Fran Webster—who was an assistant to Ridl at Westminster—to come ioin the Pittsburgh ranks. Ridl and Webster were about the same age. They had coached together before. Ridl was the author of a book, “How To Develop A Deliberate Offense.” Webster would later pen “The Amoeba Defense,” his legacy to coaching. Grgurich was the young upstart, the energetic assistant who would recruit Billy Knight, Mickey Martin, Keith Starr and Larry Harris: the foundation of Pittsburgh’s teams for a decade. Pittsburgh’s obvious lack of talent was evident that first season as the Panthers endured a 4-20 season—the first time a Ridl-coached team failed to reach double figures in victories— including a loss at Carnegie Mellon in the season finale. Following the retirement in 1968 of Bob But the next season, aided by sophomores Kent Scott, Mike Paul and Paul O’Gorek, the Panthers reached the .500 mark at 12-1 2. The 1970-71 freshman class (then ineligible for varsity competition by NCAA edict) included Knight, Martin and a rugged 6-8 center from Canevin High School named Jim Bolla. Pittsburgh went 14-10 that year, including a startling 70- 58 win against Duquesne (which lost only two games the rest of the season) in the opening round of the Steel Bowl. That gave Pittsburgh the right to host Coach John Wooden's UCLA Bruins of Curtis Rowe and Sidney Wicks. UCLA won, 77-64, but it was memorable for the 12,000 fans at the Civic Arena. There was talk about a postseason bid before the 1971-72 season, the first for Billy Knight, the local legend from Braddock. But while the season was a good one for Knight, who averaged 21 points, it was a disappointment for the team, which finished 12-12. Knight’s home debut was memorable, however. A Field House sellout crowd saw Dean Smith's North Carolina Tar Heels (featuring Bob McAdoo) defeat Pittsburgh, 90-75, as Knight scored 1 8. Knight’s scoring average increased to 23.7 his junior year, but the Panthers slipped to 1 2-14. The 1 973-74 Panthers became the most successful of Pittsburgh’s modern history, as the team won 22 games in a row while going 25-4, getting to within one game of the Final Four. Pittsburgh lost to eventual national champion North Carolina State, 100-72, in the East Regional final in Raleigh, North Carolina. For what was to be Ridl’s final season at Pittsburgh, 1 974- 75 started out slowly, with the Panthers suffering losses to Bucknell and Kent State, but rebounding to defeat Marquette (Al McGuire’s only coaching appearance in Pittsburgh), Notre Dame (rallying from a 15-point second-half deficit, offsetting a 30-point effort by Adrian Dantley), and Virginia, 71- 70, when Keith Starr scored on a driving layup with two seconds left. Pittsburgh accepted a bid to the NIT, then played exclusively at Madison Square Garden, where the Panthers defeated Southern Illinois before losing to Provi- dence, coached by Dave -$AN Regional final. 113s— The front cover of the 1969-70 media guide heralded the arrival of Buzz Ridl as Pittsburgh’s new basketball coach. Pictured are Charles “Buzz” Ridl (standing) with assistant coaches Fran Webster (left) and Tim Grgurich. Gavitt (the Big East's first commissioner), in the next round. It turned out to be the last coaching appearance for Ridl, who announced his retirement on April 4, 1975. “I could have stayed as long as I wanted,” Ridl told the assembled press. ‘‘l was told that last year and again this year. But certain things tell me it’s time to go. Coaching limits you, and there are some things my wife and I would like to do.” The coaching reins were passed to Grgurich, the 33-year-old “kid” from Lawrenceville who had previously coached Pittsburgh’s freshman and junior varsity teams to impressive victory totals. Where Ridl was reserved, quiet and subtle, Grgurich was emotional, animated and aggressive. Kirk Bruce, a guard who played under Ridl and was an assistant coach for Grgurich, pointed out the differences quite effectively: “Coach Ridl would bench you for getting mad at somebody,” Bruce said. “Coach Grgurich would bench you for not getting mad at somebody!” Grgurich’s first two seasons at Pittsburgh were nightmarish, as he was forced to endure an inordinate amount of misfortune. Prior to his first year, senior point guard Tom Richards broke his wrist two weeks before the season. Starr tore Buzz Ridl’s 797 3-74 edition ripped off 22 straight wins en route to a 25-4 record and a berth in the NCAA’s East his knee in an exhibition game and was sidelined for the entire season. Pittsburgh finished the year at 1 2-15, but sophomore Larry Harris was a rising star, averaging 22.1 points per game, including 39 in a loss to Syracuse. The 1 976-77 season was no nightmare. Instead, it was stark reality. Harris again averaged more than 20 points, but Pittsburgh's much-ballyhooed recruiting class made nowhere near the impact Grgurich thought it would as the Panthers finished 6-21. The only highlight of that season was a stunning 65-64 victory against Gale Catlett’s nationally ranked Cincinnati I Bearcats when Harris swished a 22-foot iumper ( at the buzzer. The Panthers were searching for a corner- I stone, and it arrived in the large, hulking form of Sam Clancy, another Pittsburgh schoolboy star who had helped lead the Pennsylvania All-Stars past the United States in the Roundball Classic the previous April. With Clancy providing the ‘ inside muscle and Harris the outside scoring, Pittsburgh rebounded from 6-21 to 16-1 1. The next year, with defensive stalwarts Wayne Williams, Carlton Neverson and Terry Knight, Pittsburgh improved to an 18-1 1 record, highlighted by a 71-69 upset of Duke at Cameron Indoor Stadium when the Blue Devils were 17-1 and ranked third in the nation. Pittsburgh advanced to the finals of the Eastern 8 Tournament at the Civic Arena, where it lost to Rutgers in front of 1 6,009 fans. But the season ended then and there at 18-1 1, as no postseason bid was extended. Pittsburgh's final season of the 1970s was another successful one, but again ended in ’ disappointment—and the coach's surprise resignation. The 1979-80 Panthers started out quickly, racing to a 14-3 record before a road loss at Cleveland State started a tailspin which saw the team struggle during the month of February into early March. Pittsburgh lost to Villanova in the Eastern 8 semifinals, and then to Duquesne in the first round of the NIT at the Civic Arena. Grgurich's last Pittsburgh team would lose six games by three points or fewer, and he tendered his resignation as Pittsburgh's basketball coach the next day, giving no concrete explanation, but offering this much: “|'ve been here a long time and they looked at me as being here a long time,” he said. “Now they'll have to look at the program a little differently than when I was involved with it.” TIIE Mlllilllill SEASON [IF 1913-14 he 1973-74 season was a special one in T Pittsburgh's basketball history. The Panthers began the season with an 82- 78 Ioss to West Virginia at the Coliseum, an occurrence which shouldn't seem too surprising considering Pittsburgh's historic struggles on West Virginia's home floor, but the Panthers bounced back to defeat Rutgers, 36-21, in a game which was halted (and forfeited to Pittsburgh) when a group of Rutgers students staged a sit-in demon- stration on the court late in the first half. That started an incredible string of 22 straight wins. Along the way, Pittsburgh defeated the likes of Duquesne (82-65), Florida State (82-60), Connecticut (83-63), Arkansas (91-83), Davidson (90-63), Duke (62- 46) and Syracuse (71-56). Pittsburgh averaged 80.8 points per game to its opponents’ 65.8 that season. Pittsburgh's tallest player was 6-8 iunior center Jim Bolla, formerly the women's basketball head coach at Nevada-Las Vegas. He remembers the season with tremendous pride. “Everyone liked everybody, and we iust played games one game at a time,” he said in a Pittsburgh Post-Gazette report several yea rs ago. “We didn't even keep track of how many games we'd won. We iust came and played every day and had fun. Everyone liked each other and respected each other.” Everyone liked Billy Knight, one of only three players in Pittsburgh history—Don Hennon and Larry Harris are the others—to average more than 20 points per game in three consecutive seasons. Pittsburgh's 22-game win streak ended abruptly and dramatically at Penn State's Recreation Hall on Saturday, February 23, 1 974. With the score tied at 64, Pittsburgh inbounded with seven seconds remaining, but Knight was called for traveling. Penn State's Ron Brown swished a iumper from the top of the key as the buzzer sounded, and Pittsburgh was 22-2. Pittsburgh made a national splash with 22 straht wins in 1973-74. The Panthers received an at-large bid to the 32-team NCAA Tournament and bussed to the WVU Coliseum where they defeated St. Joseph's, 54-42, before a largely partisan Pittsburgh crowd. The Panthers’ reward for that win was to go to Raleigh, North Carolina, for the East Regional which included North Carolina State (David Thompson, Tom Burleson and Monty Towe), Providence (Marvin Barnes and Kevin Stacom) and Pittsburgh's first-game foe, the Furman Palladins. Knight, who was in the midst of a late-season shooting slump, broke out for 34 points, helping Pittsburgh to an 81-78 victory and setting up an East final against the Wolfpack, which beat Pittsburgh, 100-72. 1973-74 TEAM MEMBERS Head Coach: Marvin Abrams Mickey Martin Charles "Buzz" Ridl Jim Bolla Greg McBride Assismm coaches: Frank Boyd Scott Nedrow Tim Grgurich Kirk Bruce Tom Richards Fran Webster Mark Disco Bob Shrewsbury ' John Endsley Keith Starr 'I"°"'e"' _ Sam Fleming Scott Stephens Bob Mangme Lew Hill Wayne Talbott EQUIPMGM M00099" Willie Kelly Ken Wagner Walief MCCUII°U9I‘ Billy Knight Tom Booth (Mgr.) —1a1#* 12 ° BIIIIIIESIIE 65 gerald Panthers had lost by 22 points to the Dukes iust 17 days before.

His signature sparked a recruiting effort that would attract Jim Bolla, Mickey Martin, Tom Richards, Kirk Bruce and Keith Starr to Pitt, the heart and soul of the Panthers’ 1 973-74 team that won a school-record 22 straight games. One of 1 1 children, Knight was a school- boy star at Braddock High School in Pittsburgh, where his first coach was Moe Becker, known for his playing days at Duquesne University. When Becker left Braddock, Knight’s next mentor was Andy Zezza. Knight was the first excep- tional basketball talent to join the Panthers since the days of Don Hennon and later Brian Generalovich, sparking the Panthers’ new rise on the college basketball horizon under Head Coach Buzz Ridl. Freshmen were ineligible for varsity competition in 1970-71 (Knight’s freshman year). His first varsity season was 1971 - 72, and his play reflected no signs of rustiness. He averaged 21.0 points per game that year, and followed it with figures of 23.7 (1972-73) and 21.8 (1973- 74). But more impressive than the cold, hard numbers was Knight’s warm, humble, easygoing personality. People couldn’t help but like him. “There are a lot of nice people in the world,” Buzz Ridl said. “But none better than Billy Knight.” The 6-6 Knight, known as “Mooney" to his friends and teammates, saved his most spectacular performances for Pittsburgh's toughest opponents, including a 30-point outburst against North Carolina at Carmichael Auditorium, and a 37-point explosion at UCLA's Pauley Pavilion, for many years the most points scored by a visiting player in that college basket- ball shrine. Knight took his immense skills to professional basketball, where he became an All-Pro guard- forward with the Indiana Pacers. He averaged 17.1 points in his rookie season, then shot his way to back-to-back seasons of 28.1 and 26.6 the next two years. Knight’s 1 1- year career in the ABA one season as an NBA All-Star, and his final career average—— which encom- passed stops in Buffalo, Boston, Indiana, Kansas City and San Antonio — was 15.7. Knight also played professionally in France before returning to the United States, where he became an assistant coach with the Pacers, where he still ranks on the team's all-time top 10 in scoring and rebounding. Knight’s younger brother, Terry, was a starting forward for the Panthers from 1977-79. Bi||y’s number 34 Pittsburgh jersey was retired during ceremonies at a game in 1989. He still speaks fondly about his years at Pitt. ‘‘lf 1 had to do it all over again, I'd go to Pitt," he said. "It was a great experience and I learned quite a bit. 1 made so many friends there, with the coaches, and players, and we keep in touch."

How about NO RESPECT! The player was Pittsburgh’s Clyde Vaughan, the season in question was 1981-82, and the circumstances were these: Pittsburgh, which had won the Eastern 8 Tournament the year before, announced before the 1981-82 campaign that it would be the Panthers’ final season of Eastern 8 membership. Pittsburgh officials had accepted an invitation to join the Big East the following season, a fact which created some obvious resentment among Eastern 8 coaches. When the time came for those coaches to cast their ballots for All-Eastern 8, two chose not to vote for any Pittsburgh players for either first- or second-team. Vaughan led the Panthers in both scoring and rebounding for three consecutive seasons (1981-84) and is now listed second on Pittsburgh’s all-time scoring chart with 2,033 points. A forward, Vaughan stood slightly taller than 6-4, but was blessed with long arms and an extraordinary shooting touch which belied his somewhat unconventional playing style. Some basketball observers questioned his accomplish- ments in the Eastern 8, wondering if Vaughan’s productivity would be as scintillating against the Syracuses and Georgetowns of the college basketball world. It was. Vaughan raised his game to the next level, leading the Big East in scoring in his (and Pittsburgh’s) first season of competition in its new conference, while leading the Panthers to home victories against Syracuse, St. John's and Georgetown. As a senior, Vaughan averaged 21.0 points per game in leading Pittsburgh to the quarterfinals of the NIT. His play impressed coaches at all stops. “He’s one of the best shooters I've seen, and he rebounds unbelievably for his size...Iike someone 6-9 or 6- 10," said former St. John's coach Lou Carnesecca. I111. BOY MAKES A FIELD IIIISE CALI here Buzz Ridl’s Pittsburgh teams always had players who could put the ball in the basket, and the trademark of Tim Grgurich’s teams was relentless defense, Dr. Roy Chipman brought a little bit of both to his approach as the 10th head basketball coach at the University of Pittsburgh. Chipman came to Pittsburgh following a successful stint as head coach at Lafayette College in Easton, Pennsylvania. In March of 1981, Pittsburgh defeated Duquesne in the finals of the Eastern 8 at the Civic Arena with Lennie McMi|lian-—the key to Chipman’s 1 -3-1 defense——taking MVP honors. The 1981-82 Panthers captured their second straight Eastern 8 championship by posting their first 20-win season since the 1 973-74 club, and advanced to the NCAA Tournament once again. The Panthers struggled during their first season of Big East play (the team’s 13-15 record was Chipman’s only losing season at Pittsburgh), but gained national attention by defeating Syracuse, St. John’s and Georgetown at Fitzgerald Field House.

One blue-chip player to ink was sharpshooting guard Curtis Aiken of Buffalo, New York, whose decision to come to Pittsburgh started a trend that brought 6-10 Charles Smith from Bridge- port, Connecticut, and 6-5 Demetreus Gore from Detroit, Michigan. The final piece of the talent blitz arrived in Oakland when 6-6 forward Jerome Lane came from Akron, Ohio, in 1985. Chipman’s career record was a fine 102- 76. But Chipman surprised everyone by announcing in December 1985, that he would resign at the end of the season. Chipman lost a battle with cancer in August of 1997 at the age of 58. Dr. Roy Chipman, pictured here with Panther star Clyde Vaughan, led Pittsburgh to five postseason berths in six years as head coach. BIJIIIGY IOWEBS 111! 800111 am Clancy, the leading rebounder in NCAA Division I college basketball during his Pittsburgh career from 1977-81, was one of those rare players whose mere presence gave his teammates and fans a sense that the Panthers had at least a fighting chance to win every time it took the court. The 6-6, 245-pound Clancy chose Pittsburgh over North Carolina State, and when he arrived on campus, he was coming into a basket- ball program that had struggled through a miserable 6-21 season the year before. That changed immediately, as Clancy averaged 14 points and 12 rebounds to help lead Pittsburgh to a 16-1 1 season. ‘‘If someone is great at getting good position and boxing out, he can be six-feet tall and be a good rebounder,” Clancy explained. “And getting good position comes from experience and learning the science of rebounding. For instance, 90 percent of your bank shots will come off the front of the rim. If a shot comes from the left side of the basket, the majority of rebounds will come off the right side and vice versa. C|ancy’s greatest moment, one which demonstrated all his unique skills, came on February 10, 1979, when the 13-8 Panthers visited the 17-1, third-ranked Duke Blue Devils at Cameron Indoor Stadium. With the score tied at 69 with 3:05 left in the game, Duke Coach Bill Foster decided to have his team hold on to the ball (this was before the shot clock was instituted). With 10 seconds remaining, Clancy intercepted a back-door pass intended for Jim Spanarkel from Bob Bender, dribbled the length of the court, missed a 15-foot jump shot, grabbed the rebound from Mike Gminski and dropped in an easy layup with two seconds left to give Pittsburgh a 71 -69 upset win. While this was going on, Clancy was being courted by Pittsburgh's football coaches — Head Coach Jackie Sherrill and Defensive Coordinator Jimmy Johnson — who envi- sioned another sleek pass-rushing defensive end in their program. Clancy did go out for football in the spring of 1980, but gave it up K\ to concentrate on basketball. He s CI ' I 9 - - 1' hgzry ;nscc);r: Ilgeooogg.

Clancy played for the Cleveland Browns from 1985-88, and was a defensive lineman with the lndianapolis Colts from 1989 through the 1993 season. In 1995, Clancy took a different role on the sidelines, coaching for the Barcelona Dragons in the NFL Europe. He played a key role in the Dragons winning the 1997 World Bowl. From 1977-81, no player in NCAA Division I basketball grabbed more rebounds than Sam Clancy. Interestingly though, Clancy continued a professional career in football, compiling a solid 12- year career in the NFL and USFL before retiring in 1993.

Is it merely good fortune? Not quite. There can be no denying that Pittsburgh's move from the Eastern 8 to the Big East in 1982 is the single-most impor- tant event in the history of Pittsburgh basketball. Before 1982, Pittsburgh would play to full houses at Fitzgerald Field House for its games with Duquesne and West Virginia, and a once-only visit by North Carolina (1971) and Duke (1980), but it wasn't too difficult to stretch out and relax at Pittsburgh home games during parts of the 19605 and 1970s. In 1981-82, the Panthers last season in the Eastern 8, Pittsburgh sold approximately 500 basketball season tickets. Ironically, the Eastern 8, formed in 1976- 77, was actually the original idea for a major basketball conference in the East.

The Big East, then in its infancy, included largely Catholic institu- tions with basketball as their major sport, but did include Syracuse and Boston College, two schools that played big-time football as well. Pittsburgh was already in the Eastern 8; Penn State now had no conference affiliation. Joe Paterno had ideas, something not lost in the thought processes of Dave Gavitt, the former Providence College basketball coach who was the Big East’s first commissioner. In what played out like a modern sports soap opera, it came down to this: Paterno needed Pittsburgh, Boston College and Syracuse to form his conference; Gavitt needed Boston College and Syracuse to keep the Big East alive and growing. Gavitt also realized that an all-sports conference had to have Pittsburgh, then one of the top five football programs in the nation. Gavitt made his move for Pittsburgh, as did Paterno.

Pittsburgh shared the Big East regular- season title in 1987 and won the crown outright in 1988. During those years, the Panthers won 49 of 64 games overall, and went 26-10 in Big East play after compil- ing a 14-18 league mark in the previous two seasons. Pittsburgh became a mainstay in the Top 20 polls, climbing often into the Top 10, and rising as high as second in the AP poll. All pretty heady stuff for a school whose previous most famous shotmaker was Jonas Salk. Wrote Curry Kirkpatrick in Sports Illustrated, “Let’s get this straight: Pittsburgh is into basketball now? The Pittsburgh of Chuck Noll and Mario Lemieux and Andrew Carnegie? The University of Pittsburgh? Ditka to Dorsett to Ma rino, the football Pittsburgh?" Charles Smith was the unquestioned leader of the Panthers during these two years. A 6-10 player with amazing agility and fluid moves, he was the cornerstone around which those Panther teams were assembled. Smith was a true power forward, but played center for Pittsburgh, where he led the Panthers in scoring for three of his four seasons. He was the Big East’s top center during his iunior and senior years, being named first team All- Big East in 1987 and the Big East Player of the Year in 1988. ‘‘If there’s a better center in the country, I haven't seen him,” said Providence’s Rick Pitino, after Smith gunned down the Friars with a 25-point, 1 8-rebound, six-blocked shot performance. ‘‘I don’t think there’s a 6-10 player in the country more versatile than Charles Smith,” added Dick Vitale.

A burly power forward, Lane was the smallest player to lead the NCAA in rebounding in 30 years. He led the Big East in rebounding for two straight seasons, the only player in league history to accomplish that feat. But Lane was not simply a rebounder extraordinaire. A deft ballhandler, he led the Panthers in minutes played and was the team’s second-leading scorer during his sophomore and iunior seasons. Lane was a two-year All-American and All-Big East selection. But power and relentlessness best defined his game.

Smith starred with the Clippers and New York Knicks for four seasons each, and played two seasons as a forward for the San Antonio Spurs. Lane also was selected in the first round of the 1 988 Draft—the 23rd pick over- a||—by the Denver Nuggets. After playing for the Nuggets until early in the 1991-92 season, Lane would play for several NBA clubs, including Indiana, Milwaukee and the Cleveland Cavaliers.

The next year, the Panthers made its third consecutive trip to the NCAA’s with the featured players as sophomores. Pittsburgh scored impressive victories against Georgetown and Okla- homa. The following year, without iniured Sean Miller and without any depth, the Panthers won 12 games and scored at least 100 points five times. As seniors, Matthews, Martin, Porter and Shorter went back to the NCAA’s and chalked up 21 victories along the way.

DARELLE PORTER THE mm was EBA he Paul Evans ' ' L ..x: ‘ I coaching era at Pittsburgh spanned _ I from 1986-94 and included some of the most exciting — and sometimes surreal — moments in the program's modern history. Those exciting moments included five NCAA Tournament berths, three 20-win seasons and two Big East championships. The surreal? Urging his team to get off to a quick start against that night’s opponent, Evans turned off the locker room lights and proceeded to shoot off a starter’s pistol. Such moments inspired one scribe to dub him “The Mad Doctor.” Perhaps no other coach in Pittsburgh history could be described in so many different and perhaps contrasting ways. Evans was outspoken but shy. A strict disciplinarian whose sideline demeanor was volatile at best and explosive at worst. He was both a teacher and a taskmaster. His eight-tenure was ultimately character- ized by Pittsburgh achieving some of its greatest heights and, alas, at least one of the most bitter defeats, in its basketball history. But unmistakably, the Evans era generated unprecedented interest in Panther basketball, both locally and nationally. Evans came to Pittsburgh in the spring of 1986 following a highly successful tenure at Navy. He inherited a team rich in talent — it included the likes of high school All- Americans Charles Smith, Jerome Lane, Demetreus Gore and Curtis Aiken — if not in achievement. The Panthers finished 15- 14 the season prior and had gained a national reputation for a selfish, under- achieving style of play. In fact, a 1986 Sport magazine article that featured the Panthers was titled “Can Anybody Coach These Guys?” The answers came quickly. In Evans’ first season, Pittsburgh claimed its first-ever share of the Big East championship, tied the school record for victories with a 25-8 mark and advanced to the NCAA Tourna- ment. The Panthers swept Syracuse (the eventual national runner-up) during the regular season and defeated the likes of Kansas, Arkansas and Wisconsin on successive nights to claim the Rainbow Classic in Hawafl Under Evans, Charles Smith rose to status as one of the country's outstand- ing centers and Jerome Lane, who a year prior was branded “Crybaby of the Year” by Dick Vitale, led the nation in rebounding with a 1 3.5 per game average. In 1987-88, Pittsburgh won the Big East title outright with a 24-7 mark. The race for the championship came down to the final game of the regular season with the Panthers playing at Syracuse. In front of a hostile 30,000-plus fans in the Carrier Dome, Lane may have had his finest hour, scoring 29 points and collecting 15 rebounds. Smith calmly hit two free throws in the final seconds and Pittsburgh won, 85- 84. The season marked Pittsburgh’s finest since the 1 973-74 campaign, when the Billy Knight-led Panthers went 25-4 and advanced to the NCAA’s final eight. It ended bitterly, though, when in the NCAA Tournament’s second round Pittsburgh let a late lead slip away and fell to Vanderbilt, 80-74, in overtime. Smith and Lane departed for the NBA that summer, leaving Evans with a host of young but gifted players for the 1988-89 season. The ballyhooed 1987 class of Sean Miller, Bobby Martin, Jason Matthews and Darelle Porter had been maior contributors to the league title run as freshmen and would be ioined by Brian Shorter, who sat out the 1987-88 season due to Proposition 48. It was Evans’ third edition that may have been his finest coaching iob. Going only six players deep on many nights, Pittsburgh earned its third straight NCAA berth with a 17-1 3 record. The Panthers defeated five Top 10 teams that year, including a memorable 99-91 win over No. 2 Oklahoma in Fitzgerald Field House. The other victims included ?144-— Alonzo Mourning’s Georgetown team, Syracuse and a sweep of eventual national runner-up Seton Hall. Pittsburgh slipped to 12-1 7 in 1989-90 due largely to the absence of Miller, the unshakable floor general who missed the entire season due to a foot iniury. He returned the following season and the Panthers rebounded with a 21-12 mark and their fourth NCAA trip under Evans. Pittsburgh achieved many memorable wins under Evans. Perhaps its greatest, though, occurred during the 1991-92 season. In the season's second game, Pittsburgh entered Kentucky’s Rupp Arena as an 18-point underdog. They left with a resounding 1 8-point win, 85-67, over Rick Pitino’s Wildcats. The Panthers went on to post an 18-16 record and advanced to the National Invitation Tournament. The 1992-93 season saw Pittsburgh achieve its last NCAA berth under Evans. Big wins over UCLA, Illinois and Seton Hall lifted the Panthers to the postseason and they finished 17-1 1. In Evans’ final season Pittsburgh started out 1 3-5 but lost its last nine games to finish 13-14. His 147 victories at Pittsburgh rank third in school history.

N A EIIANGEIIJJB MARK A. NDBIIENBEBG Mark A. Nordenberg is Chancellor and Chief Executive Officer of the University of Pittsburgh, one of the nation's leading public research universities, and one of the oldest institutions of higher learning west of the Allegheny Mountains. “The University of Pittsburgh has made extraordinary progress in recent years,” Chancellor Nordenberg reported recently. “The outstanding people and programs found on all five of our campuses make Pitt an outstand- ing place to live, to learn, and to grow. Our initiatives in educa- tion, research, scholarship, and public service are contributing to healthier, richer, more productive human lives—in our region and in more distant places.” Since Chancellor Nordenberg took office in August of 1995, the University has enioyed a period of unparalleled progress. In that brief period, iust to give a few measurable examples, the research dollars annually attracted by Pitt faculty have increased by over 65%; undergraduate applications to the Oakland campus have risen by nearly 100%; private voluntary giving has in- creased by almost 120%; and Pitt’s endowment has grown by over 140%. But those numbers, as impressive as they are, tell only a part of the story. In undergraduate education, for example, the steep rise in applications has been accompanied by a dramatic increase in the academic credentials of entering freshmen. Since 1995, the number of freshmen who graduated in the top 10 percent of their high school classes has risen from 20 percent to 37percent, and the number of students eligible for the Honors College has increased by 1 15 percent. And Pitt students, once enrolled, continue to perform at the highest levels, winning national and international recognition. For example, Pitt undergraduates captured prestigious Marshall Scholarships in both 2000 and 2001, further cementing Pitt’s position as Pennsylvania's leading producer of Rhodes and Marshall Scholars. The University of Pittsburgh has long enioyed a reputation as a center of pioneering research. However, the dramatic increase in sponsored project support, from some $230 million in 1995 to more that $380 million in 2001, is a clear sign that Pitt is ascend- ing to an even Ioftier position. Pitt’s national stature is evident in the fact that it now typically ranks first among American universi- ties in funding from the National Institutes of Mental Health, in the top ten in funding from the National Institutes of Health, and in the top twenty in total science and engineering funding. Throughout the world, Pitt is especially well known for its contributions to human health. In the 1950's a team led by Pitt Professor Jonas Salk developed the vaccine that won the war against polio. In the 1980's and 1990’s, teams led by Pitt Professor Thomas Starzl revolutionized human organ transplanta- tion. And day after day, Pitt faculty members in disciplines ranging from philosophy to pharmacy, from English to engineering, 1521 from information science to international studies, and from business to biology add to the world’s storehouse of knowledge in their fields. University of Pittsburgh research also is widely regarded as providing the key to the region’s “new technology” economy. Pitt is a founding member of the Pittsburgh Digital Greenhouse, a consortium of universities and information technology companies, chaired by Chancellor Nordenberg, which is designed to make western Pennsylvania a center for system-on-a-chip technology. This still-young initiative has been universally proclaimed a regional success story. And as the world enters “the century of biology,” Western Pennsylvania is placing even higher hopes on its potential to emerge as a maior center of biotechnology. An independent assessment recently commissioned by the Pittsburgh Regional Alliance concluded that “the intensity of basic and clinical research taking place in Pittsburgh shows tremendous potential for biomedi- cal economic development in a sector of the world economy that is poised for dramatic advances and growth.” The vast majority of established centers of excellence identified through the study are the products of the partnership between the University of Pitts- burgh and the UPMC Health System. Pitt also has ioined forces with Carnegie Mellon University to form a new partnership designed to expand and build upon the region’s biotechnology base. This initiative should complement, and draw support from, the Commonwealth’s plan for the creation of Life Sciences Greenhouses. In this and so many other areas, Chancellor Nordenberg is quick to credit the Commonwealth for its support: “The University is deeply appreciative to both the Governor and the Legislature for their investments in the University — investments that continue to pay huge dividends for the people of Pennsylvania.” Chancellor Nordenberg speaks at the “topping-off” ceremony for the Petersen Events Center. The Nordenberg Family: (seated left to right) Dr. Nikki Nordenberg and Chancellor Mark Nordenberg and their children (standing left to right) Michael, Erin and Carl. In recent years, Pitt’s state appropriation has been supple- mented by increasingly generous private support — with more than $85 million received from private donors during the last year alone. Much of this current fundraising success is tied to our ongoing capital campaign. When the University kicked off the public phase of the campaign in October of 2000, over $356 million already had been raised toward the unprecedented goal of $500 million. Early this summer, the campaign reached $41 1.6 million, meaning that it already is the largest fundraising success in the history of Western Pennsylvania — and, of course, it is far from oven However, as Chancellor Nordenberg has stated, the importance of this campaign will be measured not by the dollar total itself, but by the impact those dollars have in advancing the work of the University. Underscoring that point, he reports that the campaign already has attracted generous support not only for badly needed facilities but for nearly 500 new endowments supporting professorships, fellowships, scholarships and student resource funds. All of these accomplishments during the first years of Chancellor Nordenberg’s tenure as Chancellor place the University well on its way toward fulfilling the aspiration adopted by the Board of Trustees in February of 2000: “By aggressively supporting the advancement of Pitt’s academic mission, we will clearly and consistently demonstrate that this is one of the finest and most productive universities in the world.” Chancellor Nordenberg has been a committed member of the Pitt and Pittsburgh communities for nearly a quarter century. He joined the Pitt law faculty in 1977. He served as Dean of the School of Law from 1985 until 1993. He also has served the University as Interim Provost and Senior Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs. In 1994, he was elevated to the special faculty rank of Distinguished Service Professor of Law. The University's Board of Trustees elected him Interim Chancellor in 1995 and Chancellor in 1996. I Reflecting his strong personal commitment to the University's instructional mission, Chancellor Nordenberg is an award-winning teacher himself. In 1984, he was honored as the initial recipient of the School of Law's Excellence-in-Teaching Award. In 1985, he was one of the first recipients of the Chancellor's Distinguished Teaching Award, which recognizes teaching excellence University- wide. Today, Chancellor Nordenberg is involved in a broad range of civic activities. They include membership on the boards of the Allegheny Conference on Community Development, the Carnegie Museums of Pittsburgh, the Pennsylvania Association of Colleges and Universities, the Pittsburgh Council on Higher Education, the Pittsburgh Regional Alliance, the United Way of Allegheny County, the Urban League of Pittsburgh, and the World Affairs Council. Chancellor Nordenberg also is a director of the Mellon Financial Corporation. In 1997, Chancellor Nordenberg was honored as “Person of the Year in Education” by Vectors Pittsburgh. In 1998, based upon a poll of 1,800 corporate and civic leaders, Vectors selected him as the region's overall “Person of the Year.” In 1999, he was named one of Pittsburgh Magazines “Pittsburghers of the Year” for his role as a policymaker and “champion of regionalism.” And in March 2001, a Pittsburgh Post-Gazette article ranked him among the top ten business leaders in the region. Born in Duluth, Minnesota, Chancellor Nordenberg was edu- cated at Thiel College and the University of Wisconsin Law School. He is married to Dr. Nikki Pirillo Nordenberg, who earned her PhD at Pitt. She maintains an active counseling practice and is involved in a broad range of University and community activities. The Nordenbergs have three children — Erin (27), Carl (21), and Michael (18) — all of whom are primary and middle school graduates of the University's Falk School. Erin also earned a master’s degree from Pitt’s School of Information Sciences. Chancellor Nordenberg reports that, aside from his marriage, coming to Pitt was the most important decision of his life. “We are a University characterized by a proud history of enviable achievement, by rapidly accelerating momentum, and by almost boundless opportunity. In short, we already are a very strong university, and we are on the verge of even more exciting days.” ~—15r— ATIIIETIO DIBEBTIIB STEVE PEBEBSITN Grand plans, it is said, demand grand efforts. Perhaps that is why Steve Pederson bursts with pride when he says the University of Pittsburgh has the hardest working athletic department in America. That work ethic has resulted in one of the most exciting and ambitious five-year periods in the history of Pittsburgh athletics. Since being appointed athletic director in November of T996, Pederson has set the pace with a relentless dedication that has revitalized Pittsburgh into one of the fastest-growing programs in the country. Perhaps a small plaque displayed in Pederson’s office best captures the essence of the Pittsburgh athletic director and the aggressive course he has set for Panther athletics. “Men of action,” it reads, “usually succeed. Men of inaction wait for some- thing good to happen and it never does.” From day one, Pederson has been a leader of drive and initiative, continuously cultivating a blueprint for long-term success. Among the many exciting developments he helped initiate: 9 The vision of a bold new Pitt campus with the development of the Petersen Events Center. This venue, which is being built on the former site of Pitt Stadium, will be the home of Pittsburgh’s men’s and women's basketball teams and dramati- cally improve student life with improved recreational facilities, student housing and green space. The Petersen Events Center will give the Panthers one of the finest basketball facilities in the country. 9 Arming Pittsburgh’s football team with the finest facilities in the country with the creation of the Duratz Athletic Complex and UPMC Sports Performance Complex, a state-of-the-art practice venue that the Panthers opened last year. ° The Panthers’ move into Heinz Field, providing them with the finest college football venue in the country. 9 A major renovation of Fitzgerald Field House that provides Pittsburgh’s Olympic sports programs with locker and training facilities comparable to any school in the country, and Trees Field, the home of Panther baseball, which underwent maior upgrades. 9 Giving Pittsburgh’s men’s basketball and football teams their strongest radio flagship station — 45,000-watt WRRK-FM (96.9) — in at least three decades by ioining forces with Steel City Media. Those efforts have not gone unnoticed. A recent Pittsburgh Post-Gazette article dubbed Pitt “Comeback U.” and hailed Pederson’s blueprint for success. Prophetically, Chancellor Mark Nordenberg said in announcing Pederson’s appointment that the Nebraska native’s “energy, creativity and values would be huge assets to the University and city of Pittsburgh." The Chance||or’s words have proven true time and again. “When Steve and I first met, he had an infectious enthusiasm about him that made me excited about our prospects for the future,” said Nordenberg in a recent Post-Gazette article. “But as upbeat as I might have been at that The Pederson Family: (clockwise from bottom right) Kristin, Steve, wife Tami, Mark and Kari. —154— time, what he's delivered for this university has gone far beyond my expectations.” “Steve Pederson is a remarkable professional and a remarkable person,” said Pittsburgh head football coach Walt Harris. “He has put our entire athletic department in a position for long-term success. His energy and ideas are amazing — inspiring even. He has put our depart- ment on his back and is ready to take us into a great new era.” “Like all great leaders, Steve Pederson had a vision for the University of Pittsburgh when he came here and we are realizing that vision with the addition of the UPMC Sports Performance Complex, Heinz Field and the Petersen Events Center,” said head men’s basketball coach Ben Howland. “Our facilities are among the best in the country and that has been done in a very short period of time. The obvious commitment by the University has been spearheaded by Steve and his dynamic leadership. The future is very bright here.” “Steve Pederson has a special gift to lead people,” said head women's baskeball coach Traci Waites. “When I first arrived here, I considered myself a ‘student’ in the athletic arena and he has taught me the importance of being myself. With that in mind, his desire to change perceptions in our athletic department has not only affected our administration but all of our student-athletes. “There is no question Steve Pederson has made a lasting imprint on our athletic department.” “Steve Pederson has been an obvious asset to the University of Pittsburgh Athletic Department," said Head Baseball Coach Joe Jordano. “He has achieved so much in such a short period of time and his blueprint for success is awesome. Steve has set our department on a course to a very bright future, and his enthusiasm is conta- gious.” “Our top goal is to establish a long-term positioning for our athletic program,” Pederson said. “This positioning should drive our actions every day —-— how we coach, work and interact with each other. Always with an eye on the best interests of Pittsburgh student-athletes, Pederson has implemented such programs as the Panther Game Plan, which is aimed at their academic, athletic, personal and profes- sional development. No collegiate athlete in the country is better outfitted than Pittsburgh’s as a result of a lucrative footwear and apparel partnership formed by Pederson with adidas and Aeropostale. The adidas partnership provides footwear for all Pittsburgh athletes. ln teaming up with Pittsburgh, Aeropostale made its debut in collegiate athletics this year. Additionally, Pederson enlisted the talents of Peter Moore, one of the world's top figures in sports marketing and image, to create the Pittsburgh Panthers logo and color schemes. The dynamic Panther logo and standardized blue and gold colors have been adopted by all of the University’s 1 9 intercollegiate sports. Moore also created the Panther eyetooth that will be debuted on Pittsburgh’s uniforms this fall. Pederson’s administration has witnessed a renewed commitment to Pittsburgh fans, evidenced by the many fan-friendly initiatives he has set in motion. Events like Panther Fanfest on game days have added to the pleasure of attending an athletic contest at the University of Pittsburgh. “My perception was that we used to wait for people to come to us,” Pederson said. “Now, we’re trying to reach out. We want to make it easier and more enioyable for fans to watch Panther athletic events. We’re confident if they come once, they will want to keep coming back. Pittsburgh is the greatest sports town in America and it deserves great college sports. That’s what We’re dedicated to giving this city.” Pederson is active on several committees. He currently serves as the Big East Confer- ence representative to the NCAA’s Football Issues Committee and is a member of the National Football Foundation and College Hall of Fame District Screening Committee. Pederson has additionally served as the co-chairman of the Panther Leukemia Golf Open and the co-chairman of the United Way’s Day of Caring for Allegheny County. Named Pittsburgh’s 10th athletic director by Chancellor Nordenberg on Oct. 28, 1996, Pederson served the previous 2‘/2 years as the associate athletic director at the University of Nebraska. As the Cornhuskers’ associate director of athletics and director of football opera- tions, he oversaw one of the most successful football programs in the country. Pederson also was instru- mental in a fundraising plan that helped build a $36 million skybox and press box addition to Nebraska’s Steve Pederson signs the final steel beam to be placed on the Petersen Events Center. Memorial Stadium. He additionally directed the renovation of the Athletic Medicine Center, locker room, players’ lounge, halftime meeting space and Hall of Honors areas in the current athletic facilities. Prior to Nebraska, Pederson joined the Tennessee football staff in 1 991 as Head Coach Johnny Maiors’ recruiting coordina- tor. A year later he was promoted to assistant athletic director for recruiting and then was elevated to associate athletic director for football operations in the spring of 1993. In three seasons at UT, the Volunteers’ recruiting classes were re- garded among the top three in the country. The Volunteers’ 1994 class was widely heralded as the best in the nation. Pederson also served as the recruiting coordinator at Ohio State from 1 988 through 1991 and helped rebuild the Buckeyes into the perennial power that they are today. A native of North Platte, Neb., Pederson graduated from Nebraska in 1980 with a degree in business administration. He began his collegiate athletic career as an assistant sports information director at Nebraska. in 1982 he ioined Coach Tom Osborne’s staff as recruiting coordinator and administrative assistant. Pederson and his wife Tami Osborne Pederson have three children: Mark (18), Kari (15) and Kristin (12). Tami is a professional violinist, who has played with the Pittsburgh, Omaha, Lincoln and Knoxville symphonies. She currently performs as a member of the Rienzi String Ensemble and is a founder of the Fox Chapel Suzuki Violinists, a studio of young musicians who she teaches privately. ‘tak- ATlllETlB ADMINISTRATION Executive Associate Athletic Director IIM EIIIIE Associate A.D./New Business & Fan Development IISIIII IEIIEII Assistant Athletic Director/Business, Finance & Personnel Director of Development llllllll SPIIIEIIE Senior Associate Athletic Director IlEll Illllllaill Assistant Athletic Director/Corporate Marketing Illllll BIIIIITE Assistant Athletic Director/Olympic Sports IBIIIIISEEIIIIIS Director of Sports Marketing Illllllll SMIET Associate Athletic Director/Student Life & Compliance EJ.

The tradition is stronger than ever as wit- nessed by its 14 members, including Virginia Tech, which began full league affiliation in 2000-01 . The endeavor 23 seasons ago has blossomed into one of the premier conferences in America. The Big East has produced three NCAA champions (Georgetown, Villanova and Connecticut), and distinguished itself by sending an unprecedented three teams to the l 985 NCAA Final Four — a feat that has yet to be equaled. The Big East was the first confer- ence to sign exclusive television agreements with CBS and ESPN and was the first to handle its own television productions by broadcasting almost every league game. Another milestone in the growth of the Big East came in l983 when the league began playing its championship tournament at Madison Square Garden — a.k.a. the World’s Most Famous Arena. Pittsburgh ioined the Big East for the 1982-83 season. Four years later, the Panthers shared the conference regular-season title. In I987-88, Charles Smith was named the Big East Most Valuable Player led Pittsburgh to the outright league champion- ship. As a freshman, Smith was tabbed as the league’s Rookie of the Year. He and teammate Jerome Lane, a two-time All-Ameri- can, capped the year by being NBA first-round selections. The Panthers have enioyed l l postseason appearances since ioining the Big East. The following lists Pittsburgh's individual accomplishments (iust to name a few): ' CHARLES SMITH (Olympian, NBA first round selection and All-America) ° JEROME LANE (All-America, NBA first round selection and NCAA rebounding champion) ° VONTEEGO CUMMINGS (Three-time All-Big East and NBA first round selection) ° ERIC MOBLEY (NBA first round selection) ° ORLANDO ANTIGUA (United States Basketball Writers Association Most Courageous Athlete) ° JOEY DAVID (NCAA Post-Graduate Scholarship and BIG EAST Scholar Athlete of the Year) ' DARREN MORNINGSTAR (Big East Basketball Scholar-Athlete of the Year) Ray Allen (Connecticut) Ron Artest (St. John’s) Eric Barkley (St. Dana Barros ( Mark Blount ( Mark Bryant ( Scott Burrell ( Derrick Coleman Austin Croshere Vonteego Sherman Douglas Howard Eisley Patrick Ewing Richard Ham Othella Ha Allen lverson ( Mark Jackson (St. Kerry Kittles (Vi Travis Knight ( Felipe Lopez Donyell Alonzo Mourning Dikembe Mutombo Lavor Postell (St. Don Reid ( Clifford Robinson ( Dickey Simpkins ( Etan Thomas (Syr Tim Thomas (Villanova) Jake Voskuhl ( John Wallace ( Syracuse) Jahidi White ( Alvin Williams (Villanova) Eric Williams (Providence) Jerome Williams ( THE PANTHER GAME PLAN WE ARE TAMIIY As A UNIVERSITY or PITTSBURGH STUDENT- ATHLETE, You’RE MoRE THAN JUST A MEMBER or A TEAM — YOU ARE A PART or A LARGE EXTENDED FAMILY, THE PITTSBURGH PANTHER FAMILY. It includes not only your teammates, but also other student-athletes and an entire support system developed by the Pittsburgh Athletic Department to help you make the most of your college years. The experience you will receive at Pittsburgh will help guide you through your college career and the rest of your life. Pittsburgh student-athletes join together throughout the year in a wide range of events and activities to celebrate what it means to be a Panther. Your experience begins during the initial moments on campus with a “Welcome Back Barbeque” for all student-athletes. The experience extends throughout the year with a variety of activities and social functions for everyone. PANTIIEII SUPPORT Today's student-athletes are faced with many challenges. Pittsburgh is dedicated to guiding them through these challenges and providing an enriching, educational and enjoyable experience in the process. To help each student-athlete through their college years, the University has devel- oped a support system known as the Panther Game Plan. TIIE PANTHER GAME Plllll — A lilltlll Plflll Fllll SIIBBESS The Panther Game Plan is dedicated to helping its student-athletes achieve their maximum potential both on and off the field. Created in 1995, it has become one of the University’s most influential and beneficial programs for its student-athlete community. The program focuses on the following key areas of support: ° Personal Development ° Academic Achievement ‘ Career Planning and Development ° Athletic Excellence ° Community Service ° Personal Wellness ' Sportsmanship ° Leadership “It is of utmost importance to me that our student-athletes have a complete experi- ence upon graduating from the University of Pittsburgh,” said Athletic Director Steve Pederson. “We believe the Panther Game Plan will give them the kind of experience outside the classroom and the playing field that will make their life here complete.” The Panther Game Plan coordinates the In the Spring of 2000, Head Coach Ben Howland, along with Jamie Dixon and University of Pittsburgh professor Nate Hershey, won a free throw shooting contest to raise money for “The Caring Place,” a community- supported center for grieving children and their families who have lost a loved one. ——15a— efforts of many individuals and offices at the University of Pittsburgh who are devoted to assisting Panther student- athletes in maximizing their educational experiences. Among the many organizations and departments which contribute programming to assist the Athletic Department in this effort are Academic Support Services for Student Athletes, the School of Education, University Orthopaedics, Placement and Career Services, Office of Student Life, Student Health Services Education Office and the Pitt Varsity Letter Club. The Panther Game Plan has provided student-athletes with such events as career fairs, National Student-Athlete Day activities, leadership field days, Children’s and Veteran’s Hospital visits and seminars on study skills and time management. Additionally, the Panther Game Plan has worked to double Pittsburgh student-athlete involvement in community service by initiating the “Panther Pen Pals” program with area elementary schools and many other community service events. ABAIIEMIIB Ellflillillfll The University of Pittsburgh is committed to producing champions both on the field and in the classroom. An invaluable resource to help Panther student-athletes achieve their academic potential is the Academic Support Services department. Academic Support Services has one mission: to help Pittsburgh’s student-athletes have a meaningful and successful experi- ence in the classroom during their careers. Among the many services it provides are: ' Academic advising ° Academic skills workshops ° Organized study sessions and workshops ° One-on-one tutoring ° Class review sessions ° Monitored class attendance and perfor- mance ' Career counseling, resume writing and career planning IIEIIIGIITEII T0 BEIIIG TIIE BEST Shortly after arriving at the University of Pittsburgh, Athletic Director Steve Pederson formed a cohesive unit made up of existing and new medical, physical and other related support staff in order to take advantage of all available resources. What emerged was the creation of THE PERFORMANCE TEAM. The group of surgeons, athletic trainers, weight room instructors among others, not only assist all of Pittsburgh’s athletic teams, but actually comprise a team itself. The Performance Team is directed by world-renowned orthopaedic surgeon Dr. Freddie Fu. He begins his 15"‘ year serving Pittsburgh’s athletic department as team physician and surgeon. Physical concerns play a maior role when addressing what is best for athletes, but mental and emotional concerns also play a part in student-athletes’ well-being. The Performance Team has that angle covered in the person of Dr. Kevin Elko, sports-psychologist and motivator. Besides serving as the Panthers’ sport-psychologist, Elko consults clients nationwide such as the Pittsburgh Steelers, Dallas Cowboys and Pittsburgh Penguins among others. He traverses the country year-round giving motivational speeches. The Performance Team is equipped to address anything from proper fitting mouth- guards, which is done by Dr. Dennis Ranalli of the University of Pittsburgh's School of Dental Medicine, to insuring proper nutrition is being addressed, which is handled by nutritionist Leslie Bonci. Community service is a major priority for Pittsburgh student-athletes. During the United Way’s 2000 Day of Caring, the _ Panthers participated in a community clean-up, working throughout the various neighborhoods in Oakland. IIFE AI-TEII GGIIEGE Through the Panther Game Plan, many programs have been initiated to prepare athletes for life after college. The Panther Game Plan allows student-athletes to explore career options and achieve the necessary tools and skills to succeed in the professional world. Student-athletes at Pitt, whether they are freshmen or upperclass— men, have access to excellent career development services through the Career Center and the supplemental programs offered by the athletic department. The Panther Game Plan allows student- athletes to explore career options through guest speakers and career fairs, as well as develop iob search skills, build resumes and obtain internships and full-time employment. The Panther Game Plan has also provided “Preparing for Life After College” panel discussions and resume workshops. GIVING BAGII T0 TIIE GIIMMIIIIITY When you are a Pittsburgh Panther, you’re more than just a athlete. The University of Pittsburgh works to give its student-athletes a complete, well-rounded —-15r— experience, expanding their horizons in ways they never thought possible. A very important part of that experience is giving back to the community and helping those who may not be able to help themselves. Community service is a major priority to Panther athletics. Throughout the year, Pittsburgh student- athletes extend their family to the sur- rounding region to help others in need. The Panthers participate in a wide variety of community service and outreach activities to promote the importance of education, teamwork and service. From telling their experiences about overcoming obstacles to students at local elementary schools to visiting patients at Veteran’s and Children's Hospitals, the Panthers are visible in all aspects of the community. At the same time, the student- athletes learn and benefit from the students, teachers and patients with whom they interact. Mlllllifvllll SUPPORT Academic Support Services has one mission: to help the men and women athletes of the University of Pittsburgh have a meaningful and successful academic experience during their campus years. While competing in their respective sports, the members of the many Pittsburgh teams must also focus on their graduation and preparation for the future. To this end, Support Services is an invaluable resource for the student-athlete community. Since its beginning in l976, the Support Service for Student-Athletes has offered several important services to the varsity athletes. Contact between the office and the student-athlete begins early, often during the recruiting process. At university orientation, Support Service personnel administer tests and help in the class scheduling process. Learning skills and study habits are strengthened throughout the freshman year through regular meetings with the office staff, organized study sessions, and workshops. Academic plans for individual students are formulated. Tutors are provided for those students who request them, and assigned to those the staff feels may need additional help. Class attendance and performance are monitored throughout the school year. Career counseling is an important part of the program, and the Office regularly offers Aennmu:surI'on1s:nvIe£ssm=r workshops in such areas as resume writing and career planning. The goal of the Office is to build long-term skills to enable the athlete to be an independent and successful student, skills which will be carried on long after an athletic career has ended. The Support Service Office is located on the second floor of Victoria Hall. in addition to staff offices, it includes a computer/learning lab and individual meeting rooms for study and tutoring sessions. The staff of the Support Service Office is made up of six full-time members, an informa- tion specialist, two graduate assistants and numerous part-time tutors. Since 1 991 the Office has been directed by Dr. Ron Brown, who previously headed Oklahoma State's athletic/academic program. Dr. Brown is assisted by Michael Farabaugh, who is in charge of the math and science component, acts as football liaison, and is the assistant director; Jan McMannis, who heads the freshman component and supervises the learning lab; Renae Myles, who heads the tutoring component, the Office’s career counseling efforts, and serves as a liaison to several sports; Dave Pistolesi, whose many duties include working with the men's basketball team; and Pam Allen who serves as the program's administrator for information services. The newest members are Katie Fitzgerald, who serves as the administrative assistant, and Paula Mitchell, who serves as an academic counselor and focuses on compliance issues.

In 2000-01, the league again was well represented on the national scene by its student-athletes for accomplishments in academics and in athletic competition. Two national championships were added to the BIG EAST’s list last year. The Connecticut men’s soccer team won the 2000 College Cup to give the league its second men’s soccer title in the last five years. In women’s basketball, the BIG EAST became the first conference to have two different teams win the national crown in back-to-back seasons when Notre Dame hoisted the trophy at the 2001 Final Four. Connecticut had won in 2000. Additionally, three student-athletes won individual titles in NCAA competition. Providence’s Keith Kelly became the league's first NCAA men’s cross country champion. Boston College runner Shannon Smith took the 3,000-meter title at the 2001 NCAA Indoor Track & Field Champi- onship and Notre Dame’s Ryan Shay was the 10,000-meter champion at the outdoor meet. The BIG EAST has always been able to boast that some of its best students are also some of its best athletes. Ruth Riley, the 2000-01 BIG EAST Female Scholar-Athlete of the Year, was named the women’s basketball national player of the year. She was also honored as the Verizon/ CoS|DA Academic All-American Team Member of the Year. Boston College soccer player Chris Hamblin, the 2000-01 BIG EAST Male Scholar-Athlete of the Year, also earned first team All-America honors. Last year, 18 student-athletes earned academic All-America honors, including eight who were awarded first team accolades. For three of the last seven years a BIG EAST student-athlete has won the Honda- Broderick Cup as Collegiate Woman of the Year. Notre Dame soccer player Cindy Daws won in 1997-98. She followed Connecticut basketball players Rebecca Lobo (‘94-95) and Jennifer Rizzotti (‘95- 96). BIG EAST student-athletes have contin- ued their success after leaving the class- rooms and playing fields. Former Connecti- cut women’s basketball standout Dr. Leigh Curl was inducted into the Verizon Aca- demic All-America Hall of Fame in 1999. Former Georgetown men’s basketball star Dikembe Mutumbo was named a winner of the President’s Service Award, the highest honor in the U.S. for volunteer service. Whether it’s the student-athletes or the league as an entity, moving forward successfully and exploring new horizons have been the norm rather than the exception for the conference that opened its doors in 1979. The conference welcomed Virginia Tech as its 14th full member in 2000-01. In the spring of 2001, the BIG EAST added women’s lacrosse to its growing list of sports. When the 1990s began, The BIG EAST Conference had iust completed its eighth season with nine members. The league was arguably as healthy as a conference could be. The BIG EAST was a headline-grabber immediately, especially in men’s basket- ball, its signature sport. The BIG EAST Football Conference did not exist. The ‘90s was a decade of enormous change in college athletics with confer- ences adding new members and new leagues beginning. The BIG EAST was no different than most groups. The league has had four separate expansions in the past 10 years. The BIG EAST Football Confer- ence, with eight members, became a major player in college football immediately after its inception in 1991. The BIG EAST became a reality on May 31, 1979, following a meeting of athletic directors from Providence College, St. John's, Georgetown and Syracuse Universi- ties. Seton Hall, Connecticut and Boston College completed the original seven-school alliance. After one season, Villanova was added and began play in 1980-81. Two seasons later, Pittsburgh ioined the group and started competition in ‘82-83. Miami was admitted in 1990 and began BIG EAST competition in ‘91-92. Rutgers, West Virginia and Notre Dame ioined in ‘94 in two separate expansions and began play in 1995-96. While the membership has increased, the focus of the BIG EAST remains unchanged. It is a group that reflects a tradition of broad-based programs, led by administra- tors and coaches who place a constant -1s2~— emphasis on academic integrity. The BIG EAST Conference has enjoyed a leader- ship role nationally. Its student-athletes own significantly high graduation rates and their record of scholastic achievement notably reflect a balance between intercollegiate athletics and academics. Any successful consortium enioys out- standing leadership. Michael Tranghese, the league’s first full-time employee, and for 1 1 years the associate of Dave Gavitt, took over the Commissioner’s reins in June, 1990. The expansion in membership is only a portion of Tranghese’s achieve- ments. In his first year at the helm, he administered the formation of The BIG EAST Football Conference in addition to coordinating the four expansions. BIG EAST sports attract the interest of followers in the nation’s largest media markets including New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, Boston, Washington, D.C., Miami, Pittsburgh and Hartford. The league has long been considered a leader in innovative concepts in promotion and publicity, particularly regarding television. Those efforts have resulted in unparalleled visibility for BIG EAST student-athletes. Exclusive long-range television contracts with CBS, ESPN, Inc. and ABC provide BIG EAST basketball and football with more television exposure. While BIG EAST basketball games are regular sellouts at campus and maior public arenas, including the annual BIG EAST Championship in Madison Square Garden, attendance figures also are significant at BIG EAST soccer, women’s basketball and baseball games. More than 450 BIG EAST athletes have earned All-America recognition and dozens have won individual NCAA national championships. The BIG EAST has been well-represented in U.S. or foreign national and Olympic teams, with several athletes earning gold medals in the summer Olympiads in Sydney in 2000, Atlanta in ‘96, Barcelona in ‘92, Seoul in ‘88 and Los Angeles in ‘84. The BIG EAST has its headquarters in Providence where the conference adminis- ters to more than 5,000 athletes in 21 sports. [3lllllMlSSlllllEll llllllllllfl Tllllllli|lESE In the BIG EAST, Mike Tranghese has seen it all. He was the league’s first employee in 197 9. More importantly, however, he has made it all grow. Now, in his 1 2th year as Commissioner, The BIG EAST Conference continues to expand and flourish under his direction. Tranghese has led the BIG EAST through multiple membership expansions, a marked increase in championships, the formation of BIG EAST football and numerous television negotia- tions. All of this has been accomplished in the face of the ever-changing NCAA national landscape. Tranghese also has been an active leader nationally since becoming Commissioner on June 21, 1990. In 2000-01, he concluded his five- year term on the NCAA Men’s Basketball Committee by serving as chair. Tranghese also has served as chair of the NCAA Men’s Basket- ball Subcommittee on Television. He was on the NCAA's negotiating team that secured a record $6 billion contract from CBS for broadcast rights to the men’s basketball championship. In addition, Tranghese has served as chair of the Division I-A Commissioners and the Colle- giate Commissioners Association. Always pledging to be proactive, Tranghese laid the groundwork and put together The BIG EAST Football Conference when his Commissioner's seat barely had a chance to get warm. In response to the beginning of significant conference realignment nationally, he coordi- nated an expansion, which included the University of Miami becoming a full league member in 1991-92 and being a key addition to the unique football group. The BIG EAST is a charter member of the Bowl Championship Series, the group of maior conferences and bowls that helps produce a national champion- ship game and the best possible bowl matchups. After establishing the BIG EAST football group, Tranghese guided the league through a critical stage that many observers felt could have resulted in a permanent split among its members. In March, 1994, the conference added football members Rutgers University and West Virginia University as its 1 1th and 1 2th full-time members and maintained its structure. Just four months later, the University of Notre Dame, clearly the nation’s premier men’s basketball independent, ioined the BIG EAST. Rutgers, West Virginia and Notre Dame began BIG EAST competition in the 1995-96 academic yean In 1999, football member Virginia Tech was admitted to the league as the 14th full member. It began competing in the BIG EAST in all sports in 2000-01 . The league’s athletic directors unanimously appointed Tranghese in 1990 after his 1 1 years of service, the last nine as associate commis- sioner. As Commissioner, he has led the BIG EAST while adhering to the principles which have marked the conference's explosive rise to prominence - promoting and cultivating intercollegiate athletic programs in an environ- ment of integrity and the pursuit of excellence at the highest possible level. Tranghese’s career in college athletics began at American International College in his hometown of Springfield, Mass. He was the sports information director at Providence College where he publicized the immensely successful Friar teams of the seventies under Dave Gavitt. As the media focus on Eastern college basketball and the growth of sports events on television increased, Gavitt and Tranghese were ready to take advantage. Gavitt became the BIG EAST’s first Commissioner in 1979 and served until 1990 when Tranghese took the helm. Under Tranghese, the BIG EAST championship slate has expanded from seven men’s champion- ships in 1979 to 20 men’s and women's events in 1993. The recent addition of women's lacrosse increases the number of sports to 21. His negotiating expertise also has resulted in a long-term partnership with Madison Square Garden, host of the BIG EAST Men's Basketball Championship since 1983. The league and the Garden have agreed to be partners through 201 1. Today, Tranghese is an acknowledged leader in the area of television, including negotiation and technical production. The BIG EAST has been a long-time partner with CBS Sports and ESPN and has enjoyed multi-year agreements with both entities in basketball and football. Tranghese has negotiated a new television package for football with ABC. That contract will commence in 2001. Additionally, Tranghese was the force behind The BIG EAST Television Network which, for 10 yea rs, was a benchmark for regional network television. In 1995, the league awarded ESPN, Inc. exclusive rights to all of its basketball and football games not broadcast on a national network. Tranghese is a 1965 graduate of St. Michael’s College in Winooski, Vt. He is married to Susan Huntemann.

BoTH ON AND OFF THE FLOOR, HowLAND IS ESTABLISHING A CHAMPIONSHIP-CALIBER PROGRAM. IT IS No woNDER THAT DURING PITTS3uRGH’S MIRACULOUS BIG EAST CHAMPIONSHIP RUN LAST SPRING, ESPN’S DICK VITALE PROCLAIMED “BEN HowLAND IS owland directed the Panthers on a dramatic run through the Big East Championship last season, earning a berth in the title game for the first time in school history. The Panthers upset three opponents in Madison Square Garden, including nationally ranked Syracuse and Notre Dame as well as a surging Miami team. That strong finish resulted in Pitts- burgh receiving a National Invitation Tournament berth, its first postseason invite in four years. Additional highlights during Howland’s second season at Pittsburgh included a thrilling 70-66 upset of ninth-ranked Georgetown, unbeaten at the time with a 16-0 mark; a sweep of Seton Hall, including a 77-65 win over the Pirates when they were ranked 15th in the country; and the Panthers’ emergence as one of the toughest defensive teams in the Big East as they yielded iust 65.3 points per game. Howland also won his 100th career game when the Panthers defeated New Orleans, 62-46. Known for his disciplined defense both as a player and coach, Howland looks for, among other things, three important factors when evaluating players: character, athleticism and shooting ability. The latter led Howland to develop the maxim "Recruit to Shoot." ''I try to recruit good shooters," said Howland. “You don't teach kids how to shoot the basketball when they are freshmen and sophomores in college. However, we do try to improve them. 1 believe in making a good shooter better PlTT$BURGH’$ BASKETBALL PROGRAM IS MAKING STEADY AND HOWLAND. is a combination of both. We also have a balance of taking inside and outside shots." As proficient and prolific as an offense may be, winning will only come if you can stop the opponent from scoring. ''I will tell you this, winning champion- ships is all about defense," Howland said. "The best teams in the country, if you look every year at the Final Four, always play the best defense. Holding teams to below 40 percent from the field is something that is pretty consistent among Final Four teams. Having fine athletes — one thing this program does have — will make for good defenders." Howland’s influence was evident even after iust his first season at Pittsburgh. In 1999-2000, the Panthers improved in nearly every offensive category, including field goal percentage (both overall and 3- point), assists and rebounding. Howland also helped Ricardo Greer become one of the top players in the Big East. Greer was selected by the league's coaches as the Big East Co-Most Improved Player in 1999-2000 and built on that honor last year as he finished his collegiate career as a two-time All-Big East performer. Howland also etched his name in Pittsburgh history during his debut season by winning his first four games. Only Dr. H.C. “Doc” Carlson, a member of the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame, had a better start for a first-year Panther coach, beginning 5-0 in 1922. Howland has directed the Panthers to strong finishes each of the last two years. In addition to this past season's late surge when the Panthers won seven of their last 10 games, Pittsburgh closed the regular season winning three of its last four contests in his first year in 1999-2000. Their lone loss was a six-point setback to the Big East oo-champion Miami Hurricanes. Afterwards, former Hurricane coach Leonard, $8 UNMISTAKABLE PROGRESS UNDER THIRD-YEAR HEAD COACH BEN quits and their offense is difficult to defend. It’s only a matter of time until they get back to where they used to be—the glory days of Pittsburgh." With those positives, his love for the game and his keen insight, Howland was selected to be a basketball analyst during the 2000 NCAA Tournament. He could be heard throughout the country three times a week on ESPN Radio’s Morning Show with Mike Golic and Mike Greenberg, discuss- ing matchups and strategies. Howland, who was introduced during a press conference on March 8, 1999 as the 1 3th basketball coach in Pittsburgh history, orchestrated one of the biggest turn- arounds in NCAA history while at Northern Arizona University. "My goal in the national search was to find the right person to build our basketball program for the long term," said Pittsburgh athletic director Steve Pederson during his introduction of Howland to a gathering of media. "Ben Howland is an exceptional coach and an exceptional person. His success in building the Northern Arizona program, coupled with his previous experience as an assistant at other successful programs, makes him the perfect coach for the University of Pittsburgh. He is intelligent, enthusiastic and demanding, and will be a great addition to a great university." Howland ioined Pittsburgh after a highly successful five-year tenure at Northern Arizona, where he transformed the Lumberiacks from one of the bottom programs in the nation into a perennial postseason contender. In his final year there, he led NAU to a 21-8 record, marking three straight 21 -win seasons. After ioining Northern Arizona in 1994, Howland's first two teams went 9-17 and 7- season turnaround in NCAA history. NAU captured the Big Sky regular-season championship by three games and ad- vanced to the NIT as Howland was named the conference's coach of the year. The following season, the Lumberjacks advanced to the NCAA Tournament for the first time ever after winning the Big Sky Tournament as well as a second straight regular-season title. Facing No. 2 seed Cincinnati in the first round, Northern Arizona led the heavily favored Bearcats for most of the game before falling, 65- 62, on a last-second 3-pointer. During How|and's tenure, Northern Arizona emerged as one of the top shooting teams in the country. In 1999, NAU became the first team in NCAA history to lead the country in both overall field goal (52.3) and 3-point field goal (44.5) percentage in the same season. Additionally, the Lumberjacks led the nation in 3-point shooting in 1997 (41.9 percent) and 1998 (43 percent), while finishing second in the NCAA for overall field goal percentage (51.6 in 1997 and 51.1 in 1998). . From 1 997 to 1998, not only did How|and’s teams produce back-to-back conference titles, but “BEN HowLAND IS AN OUTSTANDING TEACHER or THE GAME or BASKETBALL. BEN’s SECRET IS THAT HE IS A TIRELESS WORKER, wHo IS COMMITTED TO HIS PLAYERS AND HIS PLAYERS’ EDUCATION. BEN’s TEAMS PERSONIFY WHAT IT MEANs TO PLAY TOGETHER. MoRE IMPORTANTLY, HE IS As FINE A FAMILY MAN As I’vE EvER KNOWN AND IT IS AN HoNoR AND A PRIVILEGE TO BE HIS FRIEND.” -RICK MAJERUS University of Utah Head Basketball Coach also consecutive Big Sky Player of the Year awardees in Charles Thomas and Andrew Mavis. NAU tied a league record for most wins over a two-year span (27) and ranked among the nation's top 30 in wins over that same period. With all the success, the city of Flagstaff, Ariz., pro- claimed April 27, 1998 "Ben Howland Day.” While the success on the court is impres- sive, Howland additionally has a tradition of turning out top-notch students. In 1 998, NAU and Utah were the only schools in the country to reach the NCAA Tourna- ment and record a team grade-point average over a 3.0. Prior to his Northern Arizona appointment, Howland served as an assistant coach at the University of California-Santa Barbara from 1 982-94. During that time, he tutored future NBA players Brian Shaw and Conner Henry. He also oversaw the development of UCSB's Eric McArthur, the nation's second-leading rebounder in 1990, and Gary Gray, an All-Big West selection. In How|and's last seven years at the school, the Gauchos advanced to the postseason five times. Howland enjoyed a standout playing career at Weber State. He was named the team's Most Valuable Defensive Player in 1979 and 1980, leading the Wildcats to two Big Sky championships and a pair of NCAA Tournament berths. How|and’s legacy of success dates back to his high school days. After beginning his prep career as a highly decorated player at Dos Pueblos High School in Santa Barbara, Calif., he finished with two Suburban League Most Valuable Player honors at Cerritos (Ca|if.) High School. He was also a two-time selection to the All- California Interscholastic Federation list. His collegiate career began at Santa Barbara City College (1976-78). Named team captain, he led the Vaqueros to the California finals in 1978. Following his graduation in 1979 with a degree in physical education, Howland spent one season playing professionally in Uruguay. In 1981 he joined Gonzaga as an assistant and coached future Utah Jazz guard John Stockton before moving to UCSB the following year. Howland and his wife, Kim, have two children, Meredith (16) and Adam (14).

The Petersen Events Center, slated to open in 2002, will dramatically enhance the qual- ity of student life, providing the campus with a location for graduation ceremonies, mod- ern recreation and fitness facilities, and a 12,500- seat arena for Panther bas- ketball. The University of Pitts- burgh received $10 million, the largest individual gift in its history, from alumnus John Petersen and his wife Gertrude for the center. A 1951 graduate of Pittsburgh with a bachelor's degree in busi- ness administration, Petersen is a retired presi- dent and chief executive officer of the Erie Insurance Group.

Playing in what is popularly known as college basketba||’s first ‘‘league made for television,” the Pittsburgh Panthers garner plenty of media attention. Last March, the Panthers were perhaps the biggest story during ESPN’s “Championship Week,” storming to the Big East Champi- onship title game with a string of upset victories. Pittsburgh was featured in prime time for four straight nights on ESPN as the country’s eyes got an up-close view of Coach Ben How|and's rising program. Following the Panthers’ stunning upset of at Pittsburgh.” nationally ranked Notre Dame, ESPN analyst Dick Vitale proclaimed “Ben Howland is doing a great iob. He is resurrecting a program that was dead. Ben Howland is doing a phenomenal job at Pittsburgh!” The rebuilding iob Howland is orches- trating with the Panthers is gathering national attention. And the Big East Conference is the perfect place to be to receive national exposure. As a member of the Big East, the Panthers play in the largest collective media market of any basketball confer- ence. The Panthers play in such cities as “Ben Howland is doing a great job. He is resurrecting a program that was dead. Ben Howland is doing a phenomenal iob New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, Boston, Washington D.C. and Miami, which all rank among the nation’s top 15 media markets. Pittsburgh also ranks among the nation’s largest media markets. In Western Pennsyl- vania alone, over 40 newspapers, television stations and radio stations regularly cover Panther basketball. Pittsburgh boasts four ESPN’s Dick Vitale . ma|or network affiliates, including KDKA (CBS), WTAE (ABC), WPXI (NBC) and WPGH (FOX). Additionally, FOX Sports Net Pittsburgh, a leader in all-sports programming throughout the region, covers the Panthers. Over the last decade, nearly 200 Pittsburgh basketball games have been televised. The Big East as a whole has enjoyed exten- sive television exposure since the league’s inaugural season in 1979-80. This season, the Big East’s exposure will include appearances on CBS, ESPN, ESPN2, ABC, ESPN Regional, Fox Sports Net and Turner Sports. So remember.
