As they walk up the ramp, they are approached by a short man who introduces himself. He is the basketball coach at Lafayette and he, too, is on his way to Indianapolis. After brief introduc- tions, the coach walks away. The scene is witnessed by a reporter and the coach of a local team. Both smile at the attempt by the small-time coach to in- gratiate himself with the three Pitt administrators. They know Pitt is stalking bigger game — Tom Davis of Boston College and Bob Weinhauer of Penn, to name two. The local coach tells the reporter the name of the Lafayette coach. The reporter immediately forgets it. But the three Pitt men — Ed Bozik, then the assistant chancellor and now the athletic director, Dean Billick, then the sports information director and head of the search committee and now the associate athletic director, and John Blanton, the assistant athletic director for finance — do not forget this short, unimposing man who looks no more a college basketball coach than do the administrators. They remember well this man who introduced himself at Greater Pittsburgh Airport. Some two weeks later, they name him their coach. And so it was that Roy Chipman, from Lafayette and Hartwick before that, was designated to lead Pitt, where basketball had been a stepchild for too long, to the high road of college basket- ball-” —Bob Smizik Pittsburgh Press 11/30/84 (Reprinted with permission) As the chief architect of the Pitt basketball renaissance, Roy Chipman begins his sixth year at the helm of a basket- ball program rapidly gaining recognition as one that is moving up the ladder on the national scene. Named in the spring of 1980 as Pitt’s tenth head basket- ball coach (during halftime of that year’s prestigious Dapper Dan Roundball Classic), Chipman has guided Pitt basketball to a string of successes that has caused basketball experts, potential recruits and Pittsburgh sports fans to sit up and take notice. He laid the founda- tion in the Eastern Eight Conference (now Atlantic 10) and has built a solid program at Pitt. There was nothing magical or spectacular, just steady growth that has now culminated in the Panthers emerging as a legitimate title contender in the Big East, heralded as America’s finest basketball conference. There has been one constant element in this transition and this same element has followed Chipman wherever he has coached. Winning. in his five years at Pitt, Chipman has guided the Pan- thers to three NCAA tournament appearances (1981, 1982 and 1985) and to the quarterfinals of the NlT (1984). Last season he recorded his 300th coaching victory. In 17 years as a head coach, he has had only one losing season. Among all active Division I head coaches, Chipman has the 25th best winning percentage (.689) going into the 1985-86 season. This winning has brought an unprecedented swirl of ex- citement to the Pitt basketball scene. Record crowds have flocked to Fitzgerald Field House for four consecutive seasons as the Panthers and Big East basketball have caught Pittsburgh’s sporting public’s fancy. Just as im- portantly, Chipman has emerged as a top recruiter too, at- tracting the kind of high school talent that it takes to com- pete in the Big East. For three consecutive years he has enjoyed nationally ranked recruiting classes. And with the likes of Curtis Aiken, Charles Smith and Jerome Lane, Chipman has also managed to land at least one Parade All-American in each of the last three seasons. These recent successes have overshadowed his very first recruit at Pitt, Clyde Vaughan, who went on to become the Panthers’ all-time leading scorer. Chipman’s athletic accomplishments began at Freeport High School in Maine where he was both a basketball and baseball star. Chipman was a four—year letterman and a two-time captain in basketball, earning all-state recogni- tion his senior season. He was also a three-time all-league performer in baseball. He then moved on to the University of Maine where he played three years of varsity basketball and captained the team. Chipman began his teaching and coaching career at Maine’s Winthrop High School. He served as athletic direc- tor and coached basketball, football, and track. During his four years as head basketball coach, the team won 70 games (70-9), four league championships, two western Maine championships and one state title. From there, Chipman moved to Springfield College as an assistant basketball coach. While at Springfield, he re- ceived his Master’s Degree (1965) and Doctorate in Physical Education (1968). His first college head coaching job came at Hartwick College (1968-77) in New York, where he led the Division II school to seven NCAA tournament appearances in nine years. Before his stint, the school had appeared in the NCAAs only once in its history. At Hartwick, Chipman amassed an overall record of 167-52. He cracked the Division One level with a three-year head coaching reign at Lafayette (1978-80) where he helped the Leopards gain national prominence. The school posted a 60-28 overall record, including two East Coach Conference Championships and an NIT appearance. The 1978 club, the first team to go undefeated in conference play, was 23-8, and was the second winningest team in the school’s history. In his first two years at Pitt, Chipman displayed to everyone his special coaching abilities. He guided teams, with average talent at best, to Eastern 8 Tournament titles and NCAA bids. In 1983, the Panthers joined the Big East and critics snickered that they were hopelessly out of their league. With an admittedly undermanned squad, Chipman gained instant credibility with nationally acclaimed upsets that first season of three top 20 teams (Georgetown, Syracuse and St. John’s) in Big East competition. After an NIT quarterfinal showing in 1984, last year’s Chipman-coached Panthers had their most successful season ever in the Big East, finishing in fifth place with a .500 regular season record while upsetting NCAA Cham- pion Villanova by 23 points along the way. Besides the well-deserved reputation for building top programs with his administrative and coaching ability, Chipman is also recognized as a fine defensive tactician. He has devised and refined a special extended 1-3-1 trap- ping defense and has been called upon to lecture about its finer points at coaching clinics around the country. Besides the on court successes, Chipman has made sure his players have every chance of success in the classroom too. For the first time ever. the basketball team enjoys its own academic advisor in Pitt’s Academic Support Services Office. ‘‘It is important to me that my players graduate and get a degree,” he insists. “They must realize that their academic responsibilitiesare second to none.” Chipman and his wife Kathi reside in Churchill, a suburb of Pittsburgh. The couple have two children: Geoffrey (9) and Jennifer (8).

The first personnel move Roy Chipman made back in 1980 when he was named head coach was to hire this Kentucky native. Warford has helped attract quality players who have spurred the Panthers to four post-season appearances in the last five years. His recruiting skills have helped Pitt’s last three recruiting classes land in the Top 25 in the na- tion each year. He’s been instrumental in landing players like Curtis Aiken, Charles Smith, Demetreus Gore and Jerome Lane — all high school All-Americans. Warford is also counted upon heavily for his coaching expertise — both in teaching fundamentals and in game strategy. Because of his youthfulness he also enjoys a special rapport with the Panther players. But Warford’s successful basketball career did not just start at Pitt. He was one of the top players in Kentucky, earning All—State status at Drakesboro High School in 1972 and being selected to play in the prestigious East-West Kentucky All-Star Game. He also was a four-year letter- winner in baseball. From there Warford signed on to play for the University of Kentucky after being recruited by such schools as In- diana, Notre Dame, and Louisville. He lettered for three years (1973-76) on Coach Joe B. Ha|l’s squads and was named captain his senior season. Warford was a vital part of Kentucky’s drive to the runner-up position in the 1975 NCAA Championship. and his excellent guard play led the Wildcats to the 1976 National Invitational Tournament Championship. Warford started his coaching career as an assistant coach at Iowa State from 1976-79. He was set to begin his fourth year on the staff when head coach Lynn Nance unexpectedly resigned. Warford was then thrust Into a position of being named “co-coach” at the ripe age of 25. He did an admirable job in a tough situation and caught the eye of Chipman, who brought him to Pitt. Warford has been a part of many basketball heroics, but he has also shown heroism off the court. In 1983 he was awarded the Governor’s Medal of Valor by Kentucky Governor John Y. Brown, and earned special recognition from President Reagan after pulling an elderly Lexington, Kentucky, couple from a burning building. Reggie also finds time to give to a number of worthwhile organizations. He is an active participant in both the National Kidney Foundation and Multiple Sclerosis Socie- ty in Lexington, Kentucky. In Pittsburgh, he has spoken to and done clinics for disadvantaged youth through the Ozanam Cultural Center. 10 JOHN CALIPARI Assistant Coach Roy Chipman continued his propensity for seeking out and hiring excellent young coaching talent when he named John Calipari as his newest assistant coach last June. A native of Coraopolis, Pa., Calipari had been an assis- tant the previous three years (1982-85) at Kansas, first under Ted Owens and then Larry Brown. During that span the Jayhawks made both an NCAA Tournament and NIT appearance. While at Kansas, Calipari played major roles in scouting opponents, scheduling and recruiting. He was head junior varsity coach during his tenure and also organized a highly entertaining ‘Little Jayhawks’ ballhandling squad that per- formed at halftime of Kansas games. “We feel very fortunate to land a young coach of John’s caliber,” noted Chipman. “He’s proven a very energetic and effective recruiter in both the midwest and east — two areas we feel are very important. Plus he has close ties in Western Pennsylvania which made him even more attrac- tive.” The 26-year-old Calipari comes from the same hometown as Pitt’s head football coach Foge Fazio. In fact his father grew up with Fazio. He attended Moon High School where he was a three—year starter and basketball captain his senior year. He averaged 20 points and seven assists his senior season on his way to becoming a 1,000 point scorer. He also led Moon to the WPIAL playoffs. Calapari received a basketball scholarship to the Univer- sity of North Carolina at Wilmington and was a two-year letterman there before transferring to Clarion State Col- lege. A starting point guard at Clarion during the 1980-81 and 1981-82 seasons, he led the squads in assists and free throw percentage while averaging 10 points per game. Both years the Eagles were ranked in the Top 20 in Division II and in his junior season they were NCAA tournament participants. His head coach at Clarion was Joe DeGregorio, now an assistant coach at Pitt. “The University of Pittsburgh is a first-class program,” said Calipari. “They are definitely on the rise in the Big East and it’s a great chance for a young coach like me to work hard and build upon what they’ve already started. ‘‘I think |’ve helped Kansas recruit some excellent talent and I expect to do the same for Coach Chipman.” In addition to his coaching duties at Kansas, Calipari has had extensive summer camp experience as a director, counselor and lecturer. He has been both a counselor and coach at the prestigious Five Star Basketball Camp in Pittsburgh the last four years. He has also coached a highly successful Buffalo AAU squad the past three sum- mers which has included Big East players Harold Jensen and Greg Monroe. JOE DEGREGORIO Assistant Coach Joe DeGregorio begins his third season with the Pan- thers and his 23rd year in association with the game of basketball. The 48-year-old DeGregorio has been success- ful at all levels of competition — high school, small col- lege and major college. He brings to the Pitt program plen- ty of worthwhile experience that those successful stints have provided. Before coming to Pitt in 1983, DeGregorio was the highly successful head coach at Clarion (Pa.) University, posting a 159-65 mark during eight seasons. His teams won or tied for five Conference titles, and qualified for two NAlA District 18 Championships. While averaging 20 wins a season, Joe was named Coach-of-the-Year in District 18 in 1977, and coached two All-Americans. His 1980-81 squad secured a NCAA Division II at-large bid while posting a 23-6 mark. He has posted a lifetime 369-157 record as a head coach. But it wasn’t in basketball that the Jewett City, Con- necticut, native first made his mark. As a collegian he played freshman football at Alabama before transferring to Brigham Young. At BYU he quarterbacked the freshman team and was an All-Conference pitcher for the Cougars, leading them to an invitation to the Collegiate World Series. DeGregorio returned to his native Connecticut to attain a B.S. (1961) at the University of Connecticut in Physical Education and Master’s a few years later. In his first head coaching job he guided Coventry (Con- necticut) High School to three conference titles. He then moved on to become an assistant at Niagara University, being in charge of a defense that helped the Purple Eagles to the 1972 NlT championship game by establishing a then NIT record of allowing only 61 points per game. In his five years at Niagara he headed a freshman program that com- piled a 90-26 record. In addition to his coaching duties, DeGregorio is an in- structor in Pitt’s School of Physical Education. He is also the director of the highly successful Pitt Panther Basket- ball Camp that has flourished under his expert guidance during the last two years. A very sought after clinic and after-dinner speaker, Joe has excelled at being a goodwill ambassador for the basketball program throughout the Pittsburgh area. In short, he’s recognized as being a very sraeclzial credit to Pitt basketball and to the University as a w o e. He and his wife Emmy reside in Edgewood, a suburb of Pittsburgh. The couple has four children: Kyle (26), Michael (23), Susan (21) and David (20). Kyle was recently named head basketball coach at Bloomsburg State College.

He’s so smooth and quick for a person his size that he just amazes you with some ofhis of- fensive moves. He’s as consistent a young player as l have ever seen. lt’s hard to imagine, but he's going to get better — especially on defense. Just as important as his physical skills are the intangibles he has.

Lane displayed his skills in the Dapper Dan Roundball Classic with 15 points and 10 rebounds . . . the Ohio Class AA Player-of-the-Year, after averaging 27 points, 14 rebounds and seven assists in his senior season at St. Vincent-St. Mary High School in Akron . . . as a junior Lane averaged 22 points, 11 rebounds and four assists, leading his team to the state champion- ship . .. Lane was a member of the North team that won the gold medal at the National Sports Festival in Baton Rouge, La., last July, scoring 35 points and grabbing 22 rebounds in four games ; . . the Panthers expect him to contribute immediately . . . an excellent passer, he should open up things for Pitt’s other offensive performers with his passing ability from the wing — something that Pitt has lacked for the last few seasons . . . despite his great offensive talents, Jerome is a very unselfish player who would just as soon make the great pass . . . says Chipman, “Jerome proved last year that he is one of the top five guards in the country. He’s an excellent passer, ballhand/er and offensive rebounder. He’s so versatile that he can play small forward or big guard, or even point guard. / think he has the ability to move right into the Big East and make an immediate contribution for us.” PERSONAL INFORMATION: Jerome Lane was born 12/4/66 . .. nicknamed “Rome” credits his high school coach, Joe Suboticki, with helping further his basketball talents the most . . . Jerome enjoys listening to music and watching television in his spare time . . . son of William and Ella Lane. STEVE MASLEK Freshman Forward 0 6-9, 215 ° Freedom, Pa. Steve Maslek was an unspectacular 6-2 shooting guard as a high school sophomore, but by the time he graduated he was 6-8 and still growing . . . he developed the coordination and shooting ability of a guard before emerging as a force under the basket ... Maslek is really an unknown quantity and does not have to contribute immediately . . . was a third-team All-State selection at Freedom High School . . . he averaged 20.8 points, 15.5 rebounds, five blocked shots a game last season was named first-team WPIAL Section 13-AA as a junior and senior, and All-WPIAL Class AA as a senior. . .

He could be 7—foot before he’s through, but he moves well and is very productive from a scor- ing and rebounding perspective. He still needs some polish, but in two years he could really be a force.” PERSONAL lNFORMATlON: Steven Michael Maslek was born 4/23/67 . . . nicknamed “Maz” . . . en- joys listening to music in his spare time . . . a businesslpre-law major at Pitt, his ambition is to become a successful lawyer in the Pittsburgh area. . . grew up always wanting to play basketball for Pitt . . . son of Greg and Cheryl Maslek. 21 MATT MIKLASEVICH Senior Forward 0 6-7, 235 ° Murrysville, Pa.

Matt saw action in 28 of Pitt’s 29 games and toward the end of last season began being effective with a perimeter jumper . . . he was the best foul shooter on the squad last year, hitting on over 80°/o of his attempts . . . says Chipman, “Matt has gotten the most from his talents and has certainly helped us in certain situations. You need a guy who is not afraid to play good, hard, old-fashioned defense and Matt isn’t afraid to do that. He has a nice touch from about 15 feet. I hope he can take advantage of this part of his offensive game more this season.” HIGH SCHOOL: Miklasevich averaged more than 21 points and 13 rebounds in his senior season at Franklin Regional High School ... an all-section performer for three years . . . a member of the Pennsylvania team in the Dapper Dan Roundball Classic.

Darryl Shepherd emerged late last season into an explosive offensive player and the best perimeter shooter on the team . . . was the Panthers’ second best player behind Charles Smith for the final quarter of the season . . . he averaged almost 15 points per contest over Pitt’s final five games and also averaged almost 30 minutes per game over that stretch . . . he is the leading can- didate for the forward position opposite Smith, but he will be pressed by frosh Jerome Lane. . . he started Pitt’s final five games at that position . . . during that span he led the team in scoring twice and had four career scoring highs . . . Shepherd shot better than 50% from the field and was the Panthers’ fifth leading scorer last year. . . although he’s a great leaper (has a 42" vertical leap and can touch the bottom of the backboard with his forehead), he still must work hard on his rebound- ing which is not as consistent as the other parts of his game . . . he is the most gifted athlete on the squad . . . has qualified for the NCAA Track and Field Championships In the 110 meter high hurdles . . . once beat Pitt gold medal winner Roger Kingdom in a hurdles race. . .transferred from Duquesne after being its top frosh during the 1981-82 season, averaging seven points and three rebounds . . . says Chipman, “Shep will give us a lift offensively if he can pick up where he left off last year. if he can hit those perimeter /umpers he’ll open up things underneath for Charlie. If he improves as much from his junior to senior years as he did just during the last half of last year, he’ll be an excellent complement to Smith at the other forward position.” HIGH SCHOOL: Shepherd averaged 15 points and 10 rebounds a game to lead Peabody High School to the Pittsburgh City League Championship . . . selected All-State and named the Pittsburgh Player-of-the—Year . . . a member of the Pennsylvania team in the 1981 Dapper Dan Roundball Classic.

Bill Hillgrove, WTAE-TV Sports Director, will call the play-by-play as the “Voice of the Pan- thers” for his sixteenth consecutive year. A 1962 jour- nalism graduate of Duquesne University, Bill began his career as a music personality at WKJF in Pittsburgh. He moved to WTAE radio in 1967, where he hosted a daily radio music show. He was named full—time to the WTAE-TV sports staff in 1976 and was named Sports Director in 1979. Hillgrove is also the play-by-play announcer for Pan- ther football and his reputation for descriptive and exciting play-by-play has earned him the respect as a top notch pro- fessional in his business. An outstanding toastmaster for numerous banquets throughout the year, he has been one of Pittsburgh’s enduring sporting personalities. Dick Groat will join Hillgrove for his seventh season as color commentator and analyst. Groat boasts a background in athletics that few people can equal. A Pitts- burgh sports hero, he was the starting shortstop and National League Most Valuable Player in 1960 when the Pirates won the World Series. Prior to his professional baseball career Groat had built quite a basketball reputa- tion. He was an All-American guard at Duke University for two years and in 1952 was named the Collegiate Basket- ball Player of the Year. Groat also played professional basketball for two years with the Fort Wayne Pistons. He averaged 11 points per game. FITZGERALD FIELD HOUSE Fitzgerald Field House, home of the Pitt Panthers, has an intimate charm all its own. It was dedicated in 1951, built at a cost of $1.3 million dollars. The first sporting events were held in the Field House in early 1951. The building was named for Rufus H. Fitzgerald, Chancellor of the University of Pittsburgh from 1944-55. Prior to its erec- tion, the Panthers had played basketball in a gymnasium located deep in the bowels of Pitt Stadium. Since Pitt’s entrance into the Big East, approximately $1.5 million dollars has been channeled into major facelifts of the facility to make it a more functional and at- tractive major college facility. The improvements during the past five years have included the construction of a second level on both sides of the building with two new basketball floors, the completion of new concession stands and rest rooms, the expansion of women’s locker room facilities, the installation of a new weight room and a new state-of-the-art scoreboard with a message and an- imation unit, coating the facility in a new coat of blue and gold paint, the addition of a new press room area, and the renovation of the building’s coaching offices. The Field House seating capacity has also been in- creased from 5,000 to its present 6,798 capacity. A great place to watch college basketball, the Field House was praised recently by one local sports broad- caster for its intimate appeal. “When it’s full there is no better place to watch a sport- ing event in Pittsburgh than Fitzgerald Field House,” said John Steigerwald of KDKA-TV. MORE ATTENDANCE RECORDS FALL Every year since first competing in the Big East three seasons ago, Pitt has set basketball attendance records, and last year was no different. The Panthers began the year by setting their third consecutive season ticket sales record, and continued by establishing four other atten- dance marks. By attracting 16,532 at Pittsburgh Civic Arena, the Pitt-Georgetown game last January 19 set a Pittsburgh city record for most people at a single col- legiate basketball game. In their first three years in the Big East the Panthers have increased their season ticket sales 700% and their average per game attendance by 90%.

Pitt has won the men’s and women’s swimming and diving championships the past three years and has hosted the championship event during the same period at Trees Pool, one of the finest facilities in the country. The Panthers also won the women’s volleyball title in the Big East in 1984. The school also competes in the Big East in baseball and soccer, men’s and women’s track and field and cross- country, women’s basketball, and men’s and women’s tennis. Pitt is a member of the Eastern Wrestling League. Its men’s and women’s gymnastics teams are points of pride, and Pitt hosted the NCAA Northeast Regional Women’s Gym- nastics championships last season, along with an international competi— tion with a touring Japanese men’s and women’s all-star team. The University is also proud of its football program, considered by many to be one of the premier programs in the country. The Panthers have won nine mythical national championships. Over 50 former Pitt players have achieved first-team All American honors and former tailback Tony Dorsett was a Heisman Trophy winner in 1976. Most recently Pitt football has enjoyed bowl game appearances 10 times over the last 12 years. In the mid 70’s the Panthers accomplished one of the greatest turnarounds in collegiate football history as former coach Johnny Majors guided the squad to the 1976 National Championship only four years after the team had gone 1-10. There’s something for everybody in sports at Pitt. gems . :taNt::t:a TOM PRIC SCHOOLS OF THE UNIVERSITY Heavy demands, both on and off the court, are placed upon all student- athletes at the University of Pittsburgh. As a student, each member of the basketball squad must take a full schedule of classes, while at the same time practicing, travelling, and competing in the sport. Because of the University’s commitment to both athletic and academic ex- cellence, the Office of Support Services for Student Athletes was established in 1976 to assist Pitt athletes in making progress toward their degrees. From that office, Tom Price is in his second year as the Academic Advisor for Basketball. He counsels team members in course selection, scheduling, and picking a major. He also arranges tutoring while working to strengthen learning skills and work habits. Price offers both personal and career counsel- ing so that each athlete can successfully plot his future plans. He carefully monitors classroom progress and even travels on all road trips with the team to help the players keep abreast of their studies. Price has a Master’s Degree from Pitt in history and is currently working toward his doctorate in that same specialization. The Support staff also includes two former Pitt football players: Paul Yuna, the Director who is currently pursuing a Ph.D., and Dr. Lloyd Weston, a former football All-America who is responsible for academic and personal counsel- ing. Assisting them in supporting the student-athletes are Dave Pistolesi, the tutorial coordinator; Ruth Davis, the learning skills specialist; two part-time academic advisors, Darlene Cridlin and Dave Hockabout; and Marette Simp- son, the coordinator of the daily office functions. All are committed to assisting Pitt’s student-athletes in achieving their goals.

Secondary Health Related Education Professions 31 DR. WESLEY W. POSVAR, PRESIDENT “We continue to want championship teams and we are going to have them,” University of Pittsburgh President Wesley Posvar remarked to the Board of Trustees this year. The message was elaborated in the milestone Univer- sity P/an recently developed to guide the institution into the next century. “lntercollegiate Athletics,” Dr. Posvar wrote, “comprises an element that is key to development of the wider athletic dimension Our Department of Athletics is achieving a sound combination of commit- ment to academic success by the student-athlete, measured by grades and graduation, and successful per- formance in competition." Dr. Posvar became Chancellor in 1967, and his title was changed to President in 1984. Dr. Posvar demonstrated in his own college career that success in athletics can complement high academic at- tainment. He was a college athlete at the United States Military Academy at West Point (Class of ’46), where he also graduated first in his class, achieving one of the Academy’s all—time highest academic records. Winning a Rhodes Scholarship to Oxford, he earned master’s de- grees there in philosophy, politics and economics. At Har- vard he earned an M.S. in public administration and a Ph.D. in political science. As an Air Force pilot Dr. Posvar conducted test flights on some of the earliest jets, and later flew in the Berlin airlift. He served on the strategic planning staff at the Pentagon and later headed the Political Science Depart- ment and the Social Sciences Division at the Air Force Academy. Dr. Posvar was named one of the Ten Outstand- ing Young Men in the United States by the U.S. Junior Chamber of Commerce in 1959. “A great University,” President Posvar has emphasized, “doesn’t just contribute to the cultural life or athletic scene of a city, it is also a major force in the economic vitality of its regions.” Posvar was instrumental in negotiating the $100 million Gulf/Chevron gift to Pitt, through which the 54-building Gulf research facility will become a center of research, development and high tech production. Mrs. Posvar sings professionally as Mildred Miller, a mezzo-soprano who is internationally acclaimed as a recording artist and Lieder singer and who was a principal artist for twenty—three years at the Metropolitan Opera. An active civic leader, she is founder and Artistic Director of the Pittsburgh Opera Theater. The Posvars have three childen: Wesley, Marina, and Lisa. 32 DR. EDWARD E. BOZIK, DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS Dr. Edward E. Bozik, a man with broad management and administrative experience in both athletics and academics, became the Director of Athletics at the Univer- sity of Pittsburgh on September 1, 1982. In his past three years as athletics director, Dr. Bozik has responded to the initial guidance provided by Presi- dent Wesley Posvar. Improved academic performances of all student athletes was the first priority, and the resources and effort dedicated to that area have paid substantial dividends. The football and men’s basketball teams continued to build upon past successes, and other varsity sports for men and women began the advance to championship calibre with Big East Championships in women’s volleyball in 1982 and 1984, and in men‘s and women’s swimming in 1983, 1984, and 1985. Pitt’s track and field team gained new respect when NCAA champion Roger Kingdom won the 110—meter high hurdles gold medal at the 1984 Olympics. Fundraising has continued to grow during Dr. Bozik‘s tenure and substantial improvements in the athletics facilities have been completed, including construction of a new athletics administration building in Pitt Stadium; restoration and resurfacing of the Stadium; continued im- provements in Fitzgerald Field House, including new of- fices and a players lounge; and a new grass practice field for football and soccer. On the national scene, Dr. Bozik has been active as a member of the NCAA Executive Committee, NCAA Televi- sion Committee, and as a member of the Board of Direc- tors of the College Football Association. Dr. Bozik is a native of Donora, Pa., a town well—known for the many great athletes and high school teams it has produced. A 1946 graduate of Donora High School, he received his B.S. from California University of Penn- sylvania in 1953 and later earned his Ph.D. in Political Science from Georgetown University. The strong commitment to education runs throughout the Bozik family. Dr. Bozik’s wife, JoAn, a native of Califor- nia, Pa., holds a Master’s Degree in speech pathology and deaf education and was awarded a Ph.D. in education and developmental psychology from Pitt this year. The Bozik children are also continuing the educational commitment. Daughter Peggy Jo holds undergraduate music and psychology degrees from Pitt and also is a graduate of the Pitt Law School. Son Michael, a Notre Dame graduate, is a third year student at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine. Son Tim, another Notre Dame graduate, is employed by Prentice-Hall. Dr. Bozik’s mother, Mrs. Ann Bozik, retired several years ago from her duties at the Scotland, Pennsylvania, School for Veterans’ Children. University of Pittsbrgh President Wesley W. Posvar ordering the community of Oakland in the eastern section 7. of the city, the University of Pittsburgh has grown to new heights both in the academic world and on the athletic field as it approaches its bicentennial in 1987. Under the leadership of Wesley Wentz Posvar, who became the University’s 15th chancellor in 1967, Pitt has experienced a period of extraordinary growth. Through teaching and research the University meets a local, national and international public- service mission. Several units of the University provide expertise to government agencies, citizens’ groups, and others concerned with solving societal problems. While enrollment increased during the 1970s, University facil- ities expanded. The Pittsburgh campus consists of 54 buildings on 125 acres of land, at the center of which is the Cathedral of Learning, a historic landmark and, at 42 stories, the tallest educa- tional building in the country. Other structural highlights on the campus include the award-winning Chemistry Building and Hillman Library, the latter housing more than 3,700,000 volumes. The University also extends to other sections of Western Penn- sylvania with its four regional campuses in Greensburg, Johns- town, Bradford and Titusville. The Pittsburgh campus is a complex of 16 schools, 97 departments and 23 special centers. The University has continued to increase in national and inter- national stature, annually attracting more than $60 million in spon- sored research and programs. In 1974 Pitt was elected to membership in the Association of American Universities, a select organization of the nation's most respected graduate and research programs. Pitt has been the site of many scientific achievements. Jonas Salk in 1953 developed and tested the Salk polio vaccine; Klaus Hoffmann synthesized the hormone ACTH in 1961; in 1964 ,1, The University of Pittsburgh in Oakland Panayotis Katsoyannis developed synthetic insulin. In 1975 Pitt anthropologist James Adovasio began an archaeological dig just south of Pittsburgh, which is the oldest verified site of continuous human occupation in the Western Hemisphere. William Cassidy, who in 1977 discovered the largest meteorite ever found in An- tarctica, was the first scientist to predict the location of meteors. Charles Brinton’s research team in 1977 developed vaccines against three major bacterial diseases: gonorrhea, diarrhea, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection. The University of Pittsburgh’s six Schools of the Health Sci- ences have affiliations with the corporate members of the Univer- sity Health Center of Pittsburgh, which was formed in 1965. The members include five major hospitals adjacent to the University. The University’s Schools of the Health Sciences and the Univer- sity Health Center of Pittsburgh form one of the outstanding centers in the country for high quality patient care through health education, research, and services. At the University of Pittsburgh, there is an education to be had outside as well as inside the classroom. A New York sports writer once said there are more fascinating characters per square inch in Oakland than any other community he had ever visited in his work. He is among those who fondly recall the games at Forbes Field and those who have grown up with football games at Pitt Stadium. Sports heroes have always enjoyed a special prominence in Oakland. Pitt, the Pirates, and the Steelers are just some of the teams that have turned Oakland upside down on so many occasions. There is a special pride in Pittsburgh these days, and the University of Pittsburgh and Oakland have contributed to that feeflng. 33 Pitt Stadium Cathedral of Learnin Dormitory Towers William Pitt Union Heinz Chapel 34 THIS IS PITTSBURGH We’re No.1 It was a notion that many native and “adopted” Pittsburghers knew in their hearts was true but rare- ly mentioned to friends living outside the area to avoid charges of boosterism or provincialism.

Not only is he in charge of basketball scheduling, but he was also chairman of the selection committee that chose Roy Chipman to head the program in 1980. Billick is in his 19th year at Pitt. A native of Grove City, Pa., he earned a B.S. Degree in Journalism from Penn State, where he was sports editor for the Daily Collegian. He was a reporter for the Sharon Herald and the city editor for the Centre Daily Times before being named Sports in- formation Director at Bucknell for one year. In the summer of 1966 he was named SID at Pitt. During his tenure as sports information director many of his publications won national awards. Numerous student interns and assistants under his direction went on to suc- cessful careers in sports writing, public relations and pro- fessional sports publicity. In his years at Pitt he has been involved in a number of football bowl games, 13 first-team football All-Americans, a Heisman Trophy winner (Tony Dorsett) and a football National Championship. He was SID when Pitt had its last legitimate basketball All- American, Billy Knight. Dean was also a color commen- tator and analyst on Pitt basketball radio broadcasts dur- ing the mid and |ate1970’s. Billick was" named Associate Athletic Director in 1983. This past fall he negotiated an extensive local television package for the Pitt basketball program. THE PITT GOLDEN PANTHERS The Pitt Golden Panthers are the outside financial sup- porters of Pitt’s Athletic Programs. The primary objective of the Pitt Golden Panthers is to help Pitt sustain promi- nence in athletics. During the short span of 13 years, the Golden Panther Organization has grown from a handful of members to over 6,000 to date. The Pitt Golden Panthers have contributed over $5 million to the program during this time. The organization has experienced its most dynamic period of growth in the last nine years under the direction of its executive director, Bob Heddleston. Heddleston was appointed executive director in 1976 when the organiza- tion contributed $30,000 to Panther athletics. In his nine years, he has shaped the group into an integral part of the success of Pitt Athletics. From that modest beginning con- tributions have increased to over one million dollars a year under his guidance. Bob’s goal for the Golden Panthers is to increase membership to over 10,000 and raise $2 million annually to support the Pitt Athletic Program. Last basketball season he developed the highly innovative Panther Slam-Dunk Club whose members pledged so much money to the athletic program for every dunk accomplished by a Pitt player. in only its first year of existence the club raised over $13,000. 41 TEAM COACH SID PHONE BOSTON COLLEGE . . . . . . . . ..Gary Williams . . . . . . . ..Reid Oslin . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ..(617) 552-3004 CONNECTICUT . . . . . . . . . . . . . .Dom Perno . . . . . . . . . . . .Tim Tolokan . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .(203) 487-0426 DUQUESNE . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ..Jim Satalin . . . . . . . . . ..Nel|ie King" . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .(412) 434-6564 FLORIDA STATE . . . . . . . . . . . . .Joe Williams . . . . . . . . . .Wayne Hogan . . . . . . . . . . . . .(904) 644-1060 GEORGETOWN . . . . . . . . . . . . . .John Thompson . . . . . . .Bil| Shapland . . . . . . . . . . . . . .(202) 625-4182 lNDlANA(PA) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ..Tom Beck . . . . . . . . . . . .Larry Judge . . . . . . . . . . . . . ..(412) 357-2747 LAFAYETTE . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .Butch van Breda Kolff . .Craig Smith . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .(215) 250-5122 PROVIDENCE . . . . . . . . . . . . . ..Rick Pitino . . . . . . . . . . ..John Marinatto . . . . . . . . . . ..(401) 865-2272 ROBERT MORRIS . . . . . . . . . . . .Jarrett Durham . . . . . . . .Randy Cosgrove . . . . . . . . . . .(412) 262-8296 SETON HALL . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ..P.J.

On the horizon Panther fans can see national recognition for the basketball program at Pitt. Crowds have flocked to Fitzgerald Field House and Pitt has become a feared member of the Big East Conference. Long known more for its fabled football tradition, Pitt recent’s success on the hardwood has resurrected a basketball tradition that includes national championships, a pioneer coach, All-Americans, and a record winning streak. Basketball, for all purposes, began at Pitt with Dr. H.C. Carlson. Although the sport was instituted in 1905, the coaching situation was anything but stable until 1922 with five coaches holding the coaching reins in that time. From 1908-1910, no basketball team existed at the university. And, until 1922, the best known basketball coach was An- drew Kerr — a former football expert. But then along came “Doc.” A medical doctor by trade, Carlson was known to spend his spare time doodling basketball plays in prescription books. This avocation finally became his calling when he joined the Panther pro- gram and laid a secure basketball foundation at Pitt. For the next 31 years, he built upon that foundation. In the end, he had pieced together a 367-248 record that landed him in the Basketball Hall of Fame in Springfield, Mass. Carlson molded two teams that won mythical national championships (1928 and 1930). He molded three All- Americans in Charley Hyatt (1928-29-30), Don Smith (1933) and Claire Cribbs (1934-35). He developed many of the strategies still used today (including the give-and-go and the weave). Carlson was also the first coach of any sport to use oxygen on the bench. He was an artist. Carlson’s national championship teams had a combined record of 44-1. At 21-0, the 1928 squad is still the only Panther team to go undefeated. Bob Timmons (1953-1968) had the unenviable task of following the legendary Carlson. Although Timmons lasted only half as long as Carlson — 15 years — he too was quite successful. Three times his teams went to the NCAA tournament and once to the NIT. From 1956-1959, Timmons was the beneficiary of the talented Don Hennon. Although he stood just 5-8, Hennon averaged 24.2 points during his career and was named All American in his junior and senior seasons. He is the third- leading scorer in Pitt history with 1,841 points. His total was accumulated, however, in just three years. Buzz Ridl replaced Timmons and put together a 1973-74 squad that won 25 games, including a Pitt record of 22 straight. On that team, Ridl had eight Pittsburgh area players. That team came the closest of any recent squad to reaching the NCAA Final Four as it advanced to the finals of the Eastern Regional before losing to eventual NCAA Champion, North Carolina State. The player that provided the most firepower on the team was Billy Knight. He is also the only Panther to be named All-Pro. A year after the 25-4 season, Ridl retired and gave way to his assistant, Tim Grgurich. The program suffered through 64 12-15 and 6-21 seasons before Grgurich posted a 16-11 record in 1977-78. Larry Harris, the second-leading career scorer, and Sam Clancy, who later went on to play profes- sional football, anchored that team. Grgurich’s tenure was also significant because in 1976 Pitt joined its first basket- ball conference as a member of the Eastern Eight. Roy Chipman was hired as the head coach in 1980. Faced with the tremendous task of restoring Pitt basket- ball to prominence, Chipman came through. He took the Panthers to consecutive NCAA appearances his first two seasons by winning the Eastern Eight tournaments. The program then took a giant step forward in 1982 when it was announced that the Panthers were joining the prestigious Big East Conference as its ninth team. Forward Clyde Vaughan became the all-time leading scorer in the school’s annals, racking up 2,033 points and surpassing Larry Harris’ 1,914 total. The Panthers made their own bit of Big East history last year by finishing with their finest league record to date (8-9) on their way to their highest conference finish (fifth place). For the first time ever, Pitt sold out a regular season game at the Civic Arena when Georgetown came to town. And to cap off the season the Panthers made their third NCAA appearance in the last five seasons. CHEERLEADER CARLSON . . .

The Panther (felis concolor) was adopted as the University of Pittsburgh’s mascot at a meeting of stu- dent and alumni leaders in the early autumn of 1909. According to George M.P. Baird, ’09, who made the suggestion, it was chosen for the following reasons: (1) the Panther was the most formidable creature once indigenous to the Pittsburgh region; (2) it had ancient, heraldic standing as a noble animal; (3) the happy accident of alliteration; (4) the close approx- imation of its hue to the old gold of the University’s colors (old gold and blue), hence its easy adaptability in decoration; and (5) the fact that no other college or university then employed it as a symbol. 65 DR.

Like the alchemists of the middle ages who searched for the right combination of elements to produce gold, Chipman will be looking for the right ‘chemistry’ that will allow his Panthers to contend for the ‘gold’ of a Big East title. For the last three years Chipman has been assembling the individual ingredients—inc|uding four Parade All- Americans—to field a contending ballclub. Arguably, he has more talent on this year’s team than at any time under his five-year regime. The word is out that the Panthers are one of the teams to really watch in the Big East. But Chipman is also fully aware that it takes something besides talent to be successful in the premier basketball conference in the country. It takes chemistry. Big East Rookie of the Year Charles Smith soared through his first season to become one of the top frosh in the country. Expect him to be one of the Big East’s most dominant players this year. “We probably have better overall talent and depth this year than we’ve had since I’ve been here,” said Chipman. “Position by position we have better athletes. But we have to get them to mesh their excellent individual talents together. It takes a certain chemistry to be successful in the Big East because everybody else has so much talent. Hopefully we can obtain that.” This experiment got off to a flying start last season when the Panthers (17-12), who finished fifth in the Big East race — their highest finish to date — had their first .500 regular season record (8.8) in the conference, defeated defending National Champion Villanova by 23 points, and were chosen as NCAA tournament participants for the third time in the last five years. They accomplished all this despite the fact that their top three scorers were two freshmen and a sophomore. Returning from that squad for the coming season are eight lettermen, the top five scorers, and two of the top three re- bounders. Along with a year of maturity, Chipman is hopeful that last year’s success also sustains itself. “We should play with a lot more confidence this year because these kids now know they can play in the Big East,” said Chipman. “But the word is out that Pitt will be very competitive this year, so you can bet teams will be looking for us. We can’t sneak up on anybody anymore.” Make no mistake about it, this is still a young Panther team. The starting lineup could be dominated by two sophomores and a junior, with a freshman and a first-year junior college transfer playing key roles. But this doesn’t seem to bother Chipman. “We still may be young, but many of those young players gained a lot of experience last year,” Chipman said. “Plus a couple of them really made an impact on the league. When you have excellent athletes, experience may be a little overrated. l/ust hope our younger guys can pick up where they left off last year.” The cornerstone of Pitt’s effort to crack the elite of the Big East is 6-10 sophomore forward Charles Smith. Smith was an impact player as a freshman in the Big East, leading Pitt in both scoring and rebounding on his way to capturing Big East Freshman of the Year honors. Even more amazing was that he could dominate a game despite being only a freshman who was being keyed on by every team that played the Panthers. Few 6-10 players in the country possess the overall skills that Charles displayed last year with his shooting, rebounding, and ballhandling ability. He has plenty of poise, on and off the court, and a personal magnetism. “Although he’s not a center, the player he probably reminds me of the most is Sam Perkins of North Carolina,” suggested Chipman. “He has Sam’s great skills, long arms, and fluidity of movement. There’s no reason he can’t have the same kind of impact season he had last year for us.” The incumbent at the other forward slot is 6-6 senior Darryl Shepherd, who started Pitt’s final five games last season and was the Panthers’ second best player over that stretch. The best perimeter shooter and finest athlete and leaper on the team, Shepherd finally became the explosive 5 (PETE SMITH (19265-68) came to Pitt from Uniontown, and earned a law degree in 1968.

CHARLEY HYATT — The 6-0 forward was Pitt’s first three-time All-America, gaining national ac- claim during the 1928, 1929 and 1930 seasons. The Panthers were 60-7 during his tenure and he twice led the nation in scoring. The Uniontown native was part of two national championship teams, including the undefeated 1927-28 club. DON SMITH — The 6-0 guard-forward won All- American honors in 1933 as the Panthers enjoyed a 17-5 season. Smith was a strong inside player and is best remembered for his ballhandling and defensive play. He later played semi-professional basketball in the Pittsburgh area, matching up against the famed Harlem Globetrotters and the New York Celtics. Smith has been a practicing dentist in the city of Pittsburgh for 50 years. CLAIRE CRIBBS — Cribbs led the Panthers to three consecutive Eastern Intercollegiate Basketball Conference titles and gained All-America status in 1934 and 1935.

He averaged 24.2 points in three varsity seasons and is currently third on Pitt’s all-time scoring list. He holds eight Panther scoring records including the best single game and single season performances. Hennon led the 1957-58 team to an 18-6 record (the school’s best since 1935), and into the NCAA playoffs for the second consecutive year. In 1985 he was named a Pitt Varsity Letterman of Distinction. BILLY KNIGHT — Knight may have been Pitt’s finest all-around player ever and gained All-America recognition in 1974. The 6-6‘/2 forward, a product of nearby Braddock, averaged almost 22.2 points per game and is currently fourth on Pitt’s all-time scor- ing list. Knight holds three Pitt records, including career field goals, and is second on the all-time re- bounding charts. During his senior season the team won 25 games, including a school-record 22 in a row. It was the winningest team in Pitt history and made it all the way to the Eastern Regional finals where it lost to eventual national champion North Carolina State. He was drafted by the Indiana Pacers of the National Basketball Association and is the only All- Pro basketball performer in Pitt history.

This makes little sense since he stands 5-8‘/2, but he has spent 43 years, or so it seems, trying to perfect Wilt Chamber- |ain’s finger-tip roll shot. Jim is in his third year as sports informa- tion director at his alma mater, from which he graduated with a degree in English in 1964. He is in his 16th year as editor of Street & Smith’s Basketball Yearbook, and his fourth as a member of an eight-man nominating committee for the Basketball Hall of Fame in Spring- field, Mass. He writes the pre-NBA draft analysis annually for Basketball Digest, and contributes to HOOP, the NBA’s monthly magazine. He served for nine years as a pro basketball columnist for The Sporting News, and reported on the sport in stints at The Miami News, New York Post and The Pittsburgh Press. He covered the New York Nets when they won ABA titles in 1974 and 1976, the Knicks when they won the NBA title in 1970, and the Pittsburgh Pipers when they won the first ABA title in 1968. He has edited two books, “Pittsburgh: The Story of the City of Champions,” and “Hail to Pitt: A Sports History of the University of Pittsburgh.” O’Brien and his wife, Kathleen, who has her master’s degree in social work from Pitt, are active in many community programs, in- cluding PTA, and are enthusiastic tennis and bridge players. They have two daughters, Sarah, 12, and Rebecca, 8. Sarah swears by Roy Chipman’s Basketball Camp, which she has attended the last two summers. Like father, like daughter. BEATRICE SCHWARTZ SecretarylEditoria| Assistant Bea Schwartz is the heart and soul of the sports information office and its poet laureate. She has been with the department for the past seven seasons, and at the University for 15 years. She previously worked as a secretary in the philosophy de- partment, which figures. Anybody who has ever dealt with the sports information department has a Bea Schwartz story. She’s a “people person," and has a smile for everyone even when everybody else might look as if the sky has fallen on them that particular day. She has quite the vocabulary, is an astute speller, and a dedicated worker who keeps things moving smoothly. A native of Uniontown, Bea has a theatrical and radio background and calls on it to entertain everyone who visits the Pitt department of athletics. Bea has two sons — Dr. Alan Schwartz, of Phoenix, Ariz., who is the medical director of the emergency center of Phoenix Baptist Hospital, and Marchie, who is in the automobile business in Phoenix. Bea has four grandchildren, Danny, Britton, Melissa and Jeffrey. KIMBALL SMITH Ticket Sales Directorl Promotions and Men's Basketball Publicist Kimball Smith begins his ninth season as a member of the sports information staff. A 1975 graduate of Cornell University, Smith continued his education at the Uni- versity of Massachusetts where he earned his Master’s Degree in Athletic Administra- tion in 1976. He worked in the sports infor- mation offices at both Cornell and UMass before coming to Pitt as a graduate intern in the fall of 1976. He was hired in his present capacity in the spring of 1977. Smith’s duties include the coordination of promotions and ticket sales for both football and basketball. Three years ago he won a CoS|DA award for the 1982-83 men’s basketball brochure. He is married to the former Nancy Rees; they have a daughter, Kelly Jean, age 7. LINDA VENZON Assistant Sports Information Director Linda Venzon begins her sixth season on the sports information staff. A 1980 Pitt graduate, Venzon worked one full year as a student intern in the sports in- formation office while attending Pitt, before gaining public relations experience on the professional level with the Pittsburgh Pirates. ’ _ _ In five years, Venzon has been media liaison for_ 15 regional, conference and international varsity events._During that time, her duties were expanded to cover Pitt’s 17 varsity sports while assisting in men’s basketball and football. This season, Venzon will assist Jim O’Brien with the Pitt foot- ball program. She was selected to assist the NCAA in its initial women’s basketball championship in Norfolk, Virginia. She is a member of the College Sports Information Directors of America and won her first CoS|DA award for the 1981 women’s basketball brochure. The 1984-85 varsity sports media guide edited by O’Brien and Venzon was recognized as “Best in the Nation” in the multi- sports publications. Venzon begins her fourth season as the District ll CoS|DA Academic All-America coordinator for men’s sports.
