Legend of the Phoenix Throughout history there is told the legend of the rare and remarkable Phoenix, a crimson and gold bird that lived 500 years. It was sleek, swift and strong - the most marvelous bird ever created by human imagination. At the end of its life, with death approaching, it built a nest in an oak tree and was consumed in flames ignited by the sun. From the ashes emerged the next Phoenix - reborn and renewed, with strength forged in fire. Fire, too, has shaped the history of Elon University. The disastrous fire of 1923 all but destroyed Elon. Gone were Main Building, college records, classrooms, the library and the chapel. But within days of the fire, Elon trustees set in motion the plan for Elon to rise from the ashes, stronger than ever. The Phoenix is a powerful leader and an emblem of immortality. It is a

perfect symbol for a school that is constantly renewing and recreating itself. The Elon motto, Numen Lumen, embraces intellectual and spiritual light. And so too, throughout history, the Phoenix has served as a symbol of light and knowledge. The Phoenix is timeless and unique. It perfectly describes an athletics program and an institution that are rising to new levels of excellence. There is only one Phoenix. There is only one Elon. Catch the Fire!

“The thing that has impressed me most about Elon is how everyone here truly takes an interest in you as a student, as an athlete and most of all a person. Your professors will know you on a first-name basis. I still keep up with many of my professors even if I only had them for one class. This personal interest has helped me succeed in the classroom and has also helped to put a few more familiar faces in the stands. The students and staff at Elon are very personable. It is almost unheard of to walk to class and not have somebody at least say “Hey” to you. Even the ladies in the cafeterias know me by my first name. I feel very comfortable knowing that I have people surrounding me with my best interest at heart, and I know it will help me succeed in the classroom, on the court and in life.” Daniel Watts, Sophomore Center

The Elon men’s basketball program begins a new era in 2009-10 under the leadership of first-year head coach Matt Matheny. Matheny, in his inaugural role as a head coach, is looking to revitalize a program that made the move to Division I ten years ago. The 2009-10 Phoenix team is a balanced group of youth and experience with the roster made up of six seniors and juniors and six sophomores and freshmen. Elon lost its top two scorers and rebounders from the 2008-09 team to graduation, but its returning upperclassmen have contributed solid minutes throughout their careers. Matheny sat down to discuss his decision to come to Elon, the upcoming season and his goals of making Elon men’s basketball a consistent contender in the Southern Conference. What attracted you to Elon University? Feel and fit. When I walked on this beautiful campus for the first time, it felt very comfortable. President Lambert described it to me one time as community and that is very much how it feels here. I’m from Statesville, N.C., a town not far from here, and Elon reminds me a lot of my hometown with such a strong sense of community. There is so much potential here. Elon is a hidden gem. It is the number one school to watch in America. The campus and the community are simmering with burning desire to support the program. Everywhere you go in Elon and Burlington, you see Elon hats, shirts and bumper stickers.

Has anything surprised you since you’ve been here? The energy level and the interest level in Elon University in this community have surprised me. To see all the people on campus and in the area that have an interest is encouraging. There are so many connections throughout the community. People are excited about what is going on with our program and here at Elon. There is much more interest in the university and its athletic teams than I realized. Talk about little bit about your vision for Elon men’s basketball. We are going to build this program over time, building a solid foundation as we go. We did not come here to try to make a quick fix. I have learned from my previous coaching experience the importance of starting on firm ground. We will take the time to implement our system and establish that foundation. We will take the time to teach the minute details of how we want the system to work. What are some of your first impressions of your new team? We have great guys on this team. The character and quality of the person in our program is of utmost importance. These are the guys that you are going to go to class with, share a dorm room with, eat with and go to battle with every day in practice and in games. Our team chemistry is, and will continue to be, important to this program.

Senior Devan Carter has seen action in 88 games over three years, averaging a career-best 7.1 points per game as a junior.

We have tremendous senior leadership as well. I am fortunate to have a group of players that get along very well and that stems from the leadership of our four seniors. Adam Constantine is a vocal leader who we refer to as the mayor of Elon. Everyone on campus knows Adam and our players can feed off his energy. Devan Carter has spent countless hours in the gym, working to improve his game. Jon Ogolo and TJ Douglas have worked hard to better themselves physically and have exhibited a renewed commitment to improvement. The seniors are a great strength of ours. What are some of the goals you have for this team? We started a 12-month mission last March. The players have a good understanding that this is a year-round commitment to becoming better as both an individual player and as a team. Our goals are to get better every day, to have fun and to play to win. We talk about it every day in practice. If we are together for two hours, we want to be better after those 120 minutes than we were before we started.

What style of play will you implement?

We are also right in the middle of basketball country. Basketball fans in this area are as excitable and knowledgeable as any in the country.

We will play an up-tempo, attacking style. We will try to dictate the pace and flow of the game and try to take advantage of any opportunity that presents itself. It is a fun style to play and is exciting for our fans to watch. We want there to be a great atmosphere in Alumni Gym which will provide us with a great homecourt advantage.

Most importantly, it is the people here that make Elon special. This is a great community to live, study and learn and to thrive as a person and student-athlete. Elon will be on the big stage several times this year, competing in the Preseason NIT and battling Wake Forest and NC State during the non-conference schedule. Talk a little bit about your scheduling philosophy.

When you and your staff are recruiting, what types of qualities do you look for? It is important to recruit young men that will fit well here. We don’t want to recruit tremendous talents that don’t fit here on a campus of 5,000 students. We aren’t just recruiting basketball players; we are recruiting student-athletes. We look for qualities such as toughness. Not just physical toughness, but mental toughness. There are going to be tremendous highs and lows throughout any season or school year. Student-athletes face adversity on and off the court and with toughness and guidance they can and will reach their full potential. We also want young men who have a strong work ethic and realize that they will need to put in the time to get better individually and as a team. They also need to be coachable. Young men who will listen, work and are tough enough to face and overcome adversity can work together as a team to accomplish great things.

Senior Adam Constantine, the “unofficial mayor of Elon” has become a vocal leader for the Phoenix. He was the most proficient scorer on the squad last season, connecting on 57.3 percent of his field goals.

Why should a student-athlete choose Elon? It is easy to represent Elon. If you set foot in this town and on this beautiful campus, you can see how much people love it here. The opportunities that exist here both athletically and academically are extraordinary.

What we want to do is give the guys the experience to play in the greatest venues in the country and play against some of the greatest competition in the country. We want to put our players in situations where they will be challenged both by the opponent and the arena. We want our guys to be battle-tested so it will prepare them for the hostile environments in the Southern Conference. We also want to play as many games as we can in cities or areas of the country where we will recruit student-athletes that will fit at Elon. We want Elon to become a recognizable name so people will begin to find out about this incredible university.

One of the great things about the academic philosophy is the engaged learning, or hands-on learning approach. Elon has all of the great qualities and opportunities that a university provides in an atmosphere that still maintains the values of a small college campus. Students get to know their professors. The professors care about their students as people, while also wanting to provide them with a great education. The small classroom sizes and unique design of the buildings help foster interaction with professors and students as well as raise the expectation of an emphasis on engaged learning.

Junior Chris Long led the team and ranked second in the Southern Conference with an average of 4.0 assists per game last season.

2009 Phoenix Men’s Basketball

Elon also offers the best of both worlds in terms of environment. It is a small town and in many ways a safe haven to focus on academics and athletics. But, students are only 20 minutes away from the thriving metropolitan city of Greensboro and 45 minutes away from the capital of the state in Raleigh.

Senior TJ Douglas has been known to knock down big shots for the Phoenix. The sharpshooter has nailed 93 career three-pointers.

Matt Matheny Head Coach First Season at Elon Davidson ‘92

Elon University Director of Athletics Dave Blank introduced Matt Matheny as the Phoenix’s 17th head men’s basketball coach in March 2009. Matheny, who came to Elon after serving on the staff at Davidson College for 16 seasons, will lead the Phoenix into the program’s 101st season this fall – 11th at the NCAA Division I level and seventh in the Southern Conference. A 1992 Davidson graduate, Matheny spent 10 seasons (1993-2003) as an assistant coach for head coach Bob McKillop’s Wildcats before being promoted to the associate head coach in 2003. After spending another six campaigns (2003-09) in that role,

Matheny, 39, was involved in more victories that any other assistant coach in Davidson’s history. The former Wildcat football and basketball team captain had been part of McKillop’s staff since August 1, 1993. During their time on the bench together, Davidson collected 310 victories – over 19 wins per season – with 10 SoCon division titles, five SoCon tournament championships, five NCAA tournament appearances and four postseason NIT trips. “We were looking for a leader with integrity, character and enthusiasm ... Someone that had demonstrated the ability to lead and win,” Blank said. “We were looking for someone that is committed to the importance of the co-existence of athletic and academic excellence, who has been in that environment and would understand what we need to do here at Elon University to maintain integrity in both areas. We landed on Matt Matheny.” Matheny, who was born in Shelby, N.C., and grew up in Statesville, N.C., was a three-sport standout at North Iredell High School. While his intention had always been to go to Wake Forest or Duke, his plans were altered when he was recruited to play football at Davidson.

What Others are Saying about Matt Matheny “Matt Matheny was a great hire at Elon. I have known Matt for years and he will bring the same kind of class and character to Elon that he and Bob McKillop have brought to Davidson. He has a great feel for recruiting and coaching at the Division I level. I look forward to watching his teams develop in the years to come!” John Beilein University of Michigan Head Coach

The Matheny family (l-r): Matt, Brock, Jennifer and Ava.

During his college days, he lettered four years for Davidson’s football team as a quarterback and wide receiver and two years as a point guard for the Wildcats’ men’s basketball squad before graduating with a Bachelor of Arts in History. Following graduation, Matheny headed overseas to Germany to play a summer of American football. It was then that McKillop contacted him about an assistant coaching job, a position he didn’t necessarily expect would become his life’s work. Having always planned to go to law school after college, Matheny assumed the job would be a stopover before he furthered his education. “The more I coached, the more I grew to love it,” Matheny said. “A coach can play an influencial role in the life of a college athlete.” His love of basketball and his role in it is evident by the success of the teams of which he has been a part. Throughout Matheny’s time on the bench, Davidson produced 10 campaigns of 20 or more victories, three undefeated Southern Conference regular seasons, 26 All-SoCon players and six SoCon All-Freshman selections. McKillop has touted Matheny on numerous occasions for his excellent scouting and ability to communicate the information to the players. Matheny was a critical part of Davidson’s memorable run to the NCAA Tournament’s Elite Eight in 2007-08. “Our program here at Elon is going to revolve around student-athletes,” Matheny said. “Our mission is to give

2009 Phoenix Men’s Basketball

our student-athletes a wonderful college experience. We are going to prepare these young men for life after Elon. That said, we want to go to the NCAA Tournament.” While coaching at Davidson, Matheny immersed himself in all facets of college coaching. He spent time serving as the team’s academic advisor, camp

“Matt Matheny is an outstanding coach who got the absolute best out of me everyday during my tenure at Davidson. He recruited me, saw my potential and helped develop me into the player that I am today. He is a great person to be around because he relates so well with people. He is certainly deserving of this new opportunity at Elon and I’m sure that he will do a tremendous job in all aspects of the job, from coaching to recruiting to developing his players for life after basketball. I wish him the best.” Stephen Curry No. 7 Pick in 2009 NBA Draft Golden State Warriors “Matt is a terrific teacher, a superb leader and an even better person.” Bob McKillop Davidson College Head Coach “Matt Matheny is a great choice to lead the Elon basketball program. Matt is smart, hardworking and understands the game. Best of all, he understands kids and the balance of high level academics and high level athletics. Matt Matheny gets it, and he is a great get for Elon.” Jay Bilas ESPN Basketball Analyst “Matt is an excellent hire for Elon University. Elon has tabbed someone who has had a lot to do with the success at Davidson College, both as a player and an assistant coach. There’s no doubt Matt will represent Elon University in a positive way.” Rick Barnes University of Texas Head Coach

Matheny and the former Jennifer Collins were married in June 2001. They are parents of Brock, a son born in April 2004, and Ava, a daughter born in March.

“Coach Matheny has been an influential part of my success not only as a college athlete, but also as a professional athlete. He has helped me on the court with workouts, studying film, and scouting oppenents as well as off the court in life. Coach Matheny is a perfect example of a class act person and coach. He will become very successful as a college coach in the years to come.” Jason Richards Davidson College ‘08 2008-09 Miami Heat

Tim Sweeney Assistant Coach First Season at Elon Rochester ‘03

Tim Sweeney is in his first season as an assistant men’s basketball coach on Matt Matheny’s staff. Sweeney came to the Phoenix program following one season with the Bucknell Bison of the Patriot League. Prior to his year at Bucknell, Sweeney served two seasons with Matheny at Davidson College. Sweeney began his collegiate coaching career as an assistant at the University of Rochester, his alma mater, for three seasons. “Tim is a blue collar basketball coach,” stated Matheny. “He’ll roll up his sleeves and grind it out on the court, in the recruiting world and in the Elon community. Tim has a great basketball mind and a great way of imparting that knowledge to the student-athlete.” In his two seasons at Davidson, Sweeney was a part of a Wildcats program that went 58-12, won two SoCon titles and made two NCAA Tournament appearances. In his last year as a member of the Davidson staff, the Wildcats advanced to the Elite Eight where they fell just short of knocking off eventual national champion Kansas. Sweeney was on Davidson’s staff as Stephen Curry became just the fourth player in NCAA history to score 30

or more points in his first four NCAA Tournament games. Curry went on to be a second team All-America choice by The Associated Press, Sports Illustrated and The Sporting News. In addition to his role in game execution, scouting and player development, Sweeney coordinated Davidson’s underclassman recruiting efforts, co-directed the team’s summer camp, managed team travel, coordinated the program’s digital scouting system and edited the team newsletter. In his time at Rochester (2003-06), the Yellowjackets produced a 66-16 record and captured University Athletic Association championships in 2004 and 2005. The program advanced to the Division III national title game in 2005 and made it to the Sweet 16 in 2004. “I could not be more excited to be reunited with Matt Matheny here at Elon,” Sweeney said. “For me it is an opportunity to work with one of the brightest coaches in the business, at one of the fastest rising schools in the nation. Elon has strong ambition without sacrificing its values.” During his playing days at Rochester, Sweeney was a four-year All-UAA guard and team captain as both a junior and senior. He helped lead his teams to a combined 77-30 record along with a trip to the Division III Final Four in 2002 and the Sweet 16 in 2003. He ranks among the top-10 in school history in assists, three-point field goals and free throw percentage. Sweeney was also a threetime UAA All-Academic Team member and served as vice president of the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee. He graduated cum laude with a degree in political science in 2003.

Dr. Leo M. Lambert Elon University President

Since becoming Elon University’s eighth president in January 1999, Leo M. Lambert has advanced an ambitious agenda to establish Elon as a top-ranked liberal arts university and a national model of engaged teaching and learning. Under President Lambert’s leadership, Elon has accomplished broad improvements in academic and student life programs while continuing to develop a campus that consistently ranks among the nation’s most beautiful. The academic climate of the campus has been strengthened through major investments in faculty development, library resources, honors and fellows programs for outstanding students, and Elon’s top-ranked programs in study abroad, undergraduate research, volunteer service, and leadership education.

In 2001 Elon College became Elon University, and the NewCentury@Elon strategic plan was developed under President Lambert’s leadership. He directed the establishment of Elon College, the College of Arts and Sciences and both the School of Communications and the School of Education that same year. In 2006, Dr. Lambert led the drive to open the Elon University School of Law in downtown Greensboro, North Carolina. New facilities constructed during President Lambert’s tenure include Carol Grotnes Belk Library, Rhodes Stadium, Belk Track and White Field, the six-building Academic Village, Ernest A. Koury Sr. Business Center, Ellington Health Center, The Oaks residence hall complex, Colonnades Dining Hall and the Colonnades residence halls. President Lambert has assumed a number of leadership roles regionally and nationally, serving on the national and North Carolina boards of Campus Compact and as a founding board member and president’s council chair of Project Pericles, a national organization that encourages students to become civically engaged in their communities. As a result, Elon has twice been named one of the nation’s top universities for community service in the President’s Higher Education Community Service Honor Roll.

President Lambert has provided leadership on athletics issues, serving as a member of the NCAA Presidential Task Force on the Future of Division I Athletics and chairing the NCAA Committee on Athletics Certification. In 2008 Dr. Lambert was appointed to the Commission on Effective Leadership by the American Council on Education and also to the North Carolina Higher Education Civic Education Study Commission. In 2009, he was named a director of the Association of American Colleges and Universities (AAC&U), which comprises more than 1,150 public and private colleges and universities of every type and size. President Lambert’s alma mater, the State University of New York at Geneseo, awarded him an honorary doctorate of humane letters in 2002 in recognition of exceptional achievements in higher education. In 2005 he was awarded the Thomas Z. Osborne Distinguished Citizen Award, which is the highest honor bestowed by the Greensboro, North Carolina, Chamber of Commerce. Lambert has a bachelor’s degree from State University of New York at Geneseo, a master’s in education from the University of Vermont in Burlington, and a doctorate in education from Syracuse University. Prior to coming to Elon, he was provost and vice chancellor for academic affairs at the University of Wisconsin–La Crosse. President Lambert’s greatest honor in life, in collaboration with his wife Laurie, has been the privilege of parenting two daughters, Callie, a student at the Wake Forest University School of Medicine, and Mollie, a student at Furman University.

Hanging in the Rafters

On February 7, Elon formally retired the jerseys of all-time great men’s basketball players Jesse Branson and Tommy Cole. Branson played at Elon from 196165 and wore number 40. He was Elon’s first basketball All-American and the first ever to exceed 2,000 career points. His point total of 2,241 still stands as the record today along with 13 other current records that remain standing. Wearing number 34, Cole played for the maroon and gold from 1968-72. Cole poured in 2,214 points of his own while also dishing out an Elon record 705 assists.

Brett James became the 32nd Elon player to join the 1,000 point club.

The Southern Conference, which enters its 89th season of intercollegiate competition in 2009, has become known as one of the nation’s leaders in emphasizing the develJohn Iamarino opment of the studentCommissioner athlete and defining the league’s role in helping to build lifelong leaders and role models. The Conference currently consists of 12 members in five states throughout the Southeast and sponsors Jason Yaman Asst. Commissioner 19 varsity sports and championships that Media Relations produce participants for NCAA Division I Championships. The Southern Conference is the nation’s fifth-oldest NCAA Division I collegiate athletic association. Only the Big Ten (1896), the Missouri Valley (1907), the Pacific 10 (1915) and the Southwestern Athletic (1920) conferences are older in terms of origination. Throughout its history, the Southern Conference has been an innovator in college athletics. The Southern Conference was the first “super conference” with its charter membership including the likes of Alabama, Auburn, and North Carolina. The SoCon, as it has come to be known by headline writers throughout the country, is the league that gave birth to the three-point shot in college basketball and was the college home of such sporting greats as Arnold Palmer, Jerry West and Charlie “Choo Choo” Justice. Academic excellence has been a major part of the Southern Conference’s tradition. League athletes have been recognized countless times on CoSIDA Academic All-America and district teams. A total of 19 Rhodes-Scholarship winners have been selected from the conference.

Membership History

The Southern Conference was formed on February 25, 1921 at a meeting in Atlanta, Ga. Fourteen institutions from the 30-member Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association (SIAA) reorganized as the Southern Conference. Those charter members included Alabama, Auburn, Clemson, Georgia, Georgia Tech, Kentucky, Maryland, Mississippi State, North Carolina, North Carolina State, Tennessee, Virginia, Virginia Tech and Washington & Lee. Athletic competition began in the fall of 1921.

Today, the league continues to thrive with a membership that spans five Southeastern states. Current league members are Appalachian State, College of Charleston, The Citadel, Davidson, Elon, Furman, Georgia Southern, UNC Greensboro, Chattanooga, Samford, Western Carolina and Wofford. Elon joined the Southern Conference on July 1, 2003. Samford joined the league beginning with the 2008 season.

Men’s Basketball

Men’s basketball was the first sport in which the conference held a championship. The league tournament is the nation’s oldest, with the inaugural championship held at Atlanta’s City Auditorium in 1922 and was won by North Carolina. Not only was the Southern Conference Tournament the first of its kind, the league also helped change the face of college basketball. In 1980, the league began a season-long experiment with a 22-foot three-point field goal with the approval of the NCAA Rules Committee. Ronnie Carr of Western Carolina made the first three-point field goal in college basketball history in a game against Middle Tennessee State on Nov. 29, 1980. Another college basketball tradition that originated in the Southern Conference is the traditional cutting of the nets by the winning team. According to USA Today, the practice of net cutting originated in 1947 with North Carolina State head coach Everett Case. As a first-year head coach, Case led the Wolfpack to the Southern Conference Tournament title. Case celebrated by claiming the nets as a souvenir of the win. Basketball coaching legend Red Auerbach gives credit to former George Washington coach Bill Reinhart, who coached in the conference for nearly 30 years, as one of the originators of the modern fast-break. West Virginia’s 10 tournament championships are still the most in league history. The Mountaineers were led by the incomparable Jerry West from 1958 through ’60. West, a two-time All-America selection, spurred West Virginia to the Final Four in 1959. The Mountaineers lost in the championship game that season to California, 71-70, but West earned Final Four Most Valuable Player honors. West was a three-time Southern Conference tournament MVP, a two-time league regular season MVP, and was twice named the conference’s Athlete of the Year. He went on to a spectacular career with the Los Angeles Lakers of the National Basketball Association and was inducted into the Naismith Memorial

He was a 14-time NBA All-Star while with the Lakers. It is West’s silhouette that comprises the NBA’s globally recognized logo. Frank Selvy set the NCAA record for points in a game while at Furman. On Feb. 13, 1954, the senior scored 100 points in a game against Newberry, a record that still stands. Selvy was the Southern Conference Most Valuable Player in 1953 and 1954 and the league’s Athlete of the Year in 1954. He went on to a 10-year career in the NBA. Rod Hundley was another West Virginia star during the 1950s. “Hot Rod” made a name for himself as one of the most spectacular players to tour the league during his era. Hundley averaged 24.5 points per game in his three seasons as a Mountaineer and was an all-conference and all-tournament performer in each of those three years. He was the Southern Conference Most Valuable Player and Athlete of the Year as a senior in 1957. He was the first player selected in the 1957 NBA draft and enjoyed a sixyear career in that league. East Tennessee State’s Keith “Mister” Jennings made his mark on the college basketball world in the early 1990s. Despite standing less than six feet tall, Jennings was a two-time all-conference choice and the league’s Player of the Year and Athlete of the Year in 1991. Jennings played with the Golden State Warriors of the NBA. Besides West Virginia’s team in 1959, the Southern Conference has been represented in the Final Four on two other occasions. North Carolina advanced to the NCAA championship game in 1943 before falling 43-40 to Oklahoma State. North Carolina State finished third in the tournament in 1950. Davidson continued the record of success by advancing to the NCAA Tournament’s Elite Eight in 2008 and coach Bob McKillop’s Wildcats came within a basket of making the Final Four behind the play of sophomore guard Stephen Curry.

one of its most successful decades in history. Highlights from the 10-year stretch included a regular-season Carolinas Conference title, two league championships and a Carolinas Conference Tournament crown. From 1968-72, Elon was led by another of its most notable players in Tommy Cole. Cole helped Elon to a conference championship in 1971 with a 21-8 record. The hoopster averaged 23.2 points per game and was honored as an NAIA All-American while being chosen as the league regular-season and tournament MVP. Prior to being drafted by the Boston Celtics, Cole helped lead Elon to another conference title in his final season. He became only the second-ever Elon player to net over 2,000 points. Cole also dished out 705 career assists — a school mark that still sits at the top of the record books today. The team captain was a two-time Basnight winner. Many other top contributors, including Larry Trautwein, Clarence “Diffy” Ross, Brad Ballou and Thomas Moore, made the 1970s a decade to remember for Elon hoops. The 1980s The coaching reigns changed twice in the 1980s, starting when William “Bill” Morningstar took over in 1980. Morningstar earned conference coach of the year recognition in his first season and Lee Allison and Drew Van Horn were both honored with NAIA All-American accolades.

In 1987, Bob Burton took over as the 14th head coach in Elon history. In that inagural year, he led the squad to the conference finals and finished with a 20-11 record. The following year, Elon was led by Brian Branson, son of Elon great Jesse Branson. Brian Branson was named the Carolinas Conference and District 26 Athlete of the Year. He and Jesse are currently the only father-son pair in the Elon Sports Hall of Fame.

The 2000s Elon transitioned into the new millennium with a new identity and a new athletic mascot. Elon College formally adopted the “Phoenix” as its new mascot in 2000 and the institution became Elon University in 2001.

Jesse Branson Jesse Branson starred for the Elon men’s basketball team from 1961-65. On February 7, 2009, his number 40 jersey was pulled into the rafters at Alumni Gym. Elon sports historian Rev. Jim Waggoner took a trip down memory lane with Branson. Tell me your earliest remembrance of basketball or when you first developed an interest in the hardwood sport? When I was in seventh grade, I had a teacher who got me interested in it. I played junior varsity ball as a seventh and eighth grader before I went into high school. And, I guess growing up as I did out in the country, there was not a lot for kids to do. As I recall, my dad put up a backboard on the big oak tree at the house. I went out there and shot until he and mother would run me to bed. I once heard that you could leap 11 feet, nine inches from a flat-footed stance, even higher from the tip-off stance you employed. Tell me about that. Well, I don’t know why I could jump so high! I once took a fifty-cent piece off the corner of the top of the backboard! For some reason, I jumped off of my left foot. I don’t know why. I’m right-handed. I jumped off my left foot and I could just get up. You left Elon in the mid-60’s, what do you think about your alma mater now? I could never have envisioned Elon being this big. I credit a lot of things to the vision that (former President) Dr. Danieley had for this school. I think he started Elon on this road with his foresight in looking into the future. People like (former Director of Athletics) Alan White have just made tremendous contributions in developing this athletic program. What will you remember most about the day your jersey was unveiled and hung in Alumni Gym? The number of fans and people that came out and showed me that they remembered me as a good steward of Elon basketball.

Tommy Cole Tommy Cole watched his number 34 jersey be retired at the 100 Seasons of Elon Basketball celebration on February 7, 2009. The All-American spoke about his memories of playing for the Fightin’ Christians with Elon sports historian Rev. Jim Waggoner. What is your best memory as a player for Elon? There are many great memories. Some things stick out in my mind. I remember when we were playing A&T at the Greensboro Coliseum. We had a banner that said ‘You Got Soul But We’ve Got Cole!’ I remember playing the championship game in the Winston-Salem Coliseum, a great place to watch a game. I couldn’t wait to go to practice every day. I know that sounds crazy, but I looked forward to it so I could see what Coach (Bill) Miller was going to do! Speaking of Coach Miller, tell me about that one-of-a-kind coach. Coach Miller wanted everyone to think he was mean and rude. He was a rough guy and his language was terrible, but you had to look through all that. He took care of us. He loved us. He did a lot of things behind the scenes for us. He was one-of-a-kind and had his own way of doing things. I remember when I’d miss two or three shots in practice and he would say ‘Manager, go sharpen a pencil.’ Coach would take the pencil and tape it around your wrist and tell you to go shoot. If you bent your wrist too far back, that lead would just jut into your skin! But, he was loyal to you and he would take care of you. You either loved him or you hated him. There was no in between. You led both Elon and the conference in assists each of your four years while also leading Elon in scoring for three years. Talk about that combination. From an early age, I always wanted to control the game. Guards control the game, big men win the game. I just loved to make that scoring assist. I took it upon myself to do that.

Editor’s note: Over the years, as schools’ identities have changed, the names have also changed. In some cases, the former name is noted in parenthesis. Three North Carolina schools were also formerly recognized as Teachers College. Those schools are now Appalachian State, East Carolina and Western Carolina and are referred to as such throughout the year-by-year results.
