HONORING OUR PAST...

100 Years of Elon Basketball

CELEBRATING EXCELLENCE

“I participated in one of the greatest college basketball games ever and happened to finish on the wrong end of the score. As I watched the 75-foot shot from Chris Windham go through the net to force the second overtime, my heart sank into my stomach. I witnessed in the next couple of minutes true grit and character as my coaches and teammates gathered themselves and fought to the end. We held our heads high as we congratulated our rivals and consoled each other as we fell just short of victory in the second overtime. The experience has help mold the way I handle the highs and lows of life to this day. You learn to lean on God, family, friends and teammates.” - Tony Chavis (pictured above)

“The players were more involved with the fans than they are today, which may be due to the size of the school. We would play in front of 3,000 or 4,000 in that gym and it made me feel great as a player to have those fans supporting us. The fans would hang around after a ball game to meet and talk with the players. It made you feel good that the fans wanted to get to know the players. To a certain degree you were playing for the fans. You wanted to win for the fans. We were on a first name basis with the fans and they were with us. The relationship between fans and players made it an enjoyable place.” - Jesse Branson (pictured above)

BASKETBALL IN THE SOCON • The league tournament is the nation’s oldest, with the inaugural championship held in Atlanta in 1922. • 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 SoCon is the traditional cutting of the nets by the winning team. • West Virginia’s 10 tournament championships are 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, 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 Basketball Hall of Fame in 1979. He was a 14-time NBA All-Star while with the Lakers. • Frank Selvy set the NCAA record for points in a game while at Furman. As a Paladin senior on Feb. 13, 1954, Selvy 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.

• 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.

100th Season


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.

The Legend of the Phoenix

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!

DR. LEO M. LAMBERT ELON UNIVERSITY PRESIDENT

DR. GERALD FRANCIS ELON UNIVERSITY PROVOST/ VP FOR ACADEMIC AFFAIRS

Elon Administration

Leo M. Lambert became Elon’s eighth president in January 1999. Very early in his tenure, his responsibilities included completing the Elon Vision strategic plan, including the construction of Rhodes Stadium and the opening of Belk Library. Today, Lambert’s work focuses on an ambitious new strategic vision which aims to place Elon, with a national reputation for engaged learning, among the nation’s best small, selective, private universities. Substantial progress has been achieved toward realizing this goal. The academic climate of the campus has been strengthened by endowed programs such as the Kenan Honors Fellowships, the Baird Pulitzer Prize Lectures and the Isabella Cannon Distinguished Visiting Professorship in Leadership. He has led efforts to more than double expenditures for library acquisitions, increase faculty sabbatical opportunities and improve Elon’s position in Division I athletics by joining the Southern Conference. Lambert has been committed to further strengthening Elon’s renowned programs of experiential learning, and the results have included top national rankings for Elon’s study abroad, volunteer service, undergraduate research and leadership programs. Lambert has provided national leadership in efforts such as Campus Compact and Project Pericles, which encourage students to become civically engaged in their communities. During his tenure, the Martha and Spencer Love School of Business has attained AACSB International accreditation, the School of Communications has achieved accreditation by ACEJMC and the Elon University School of Law, which opened in Greensboro in 2006, achieved American Bar Association provisional approval in 2008. Recent new campus facilities have included the Ernest A. Koury Sr. Business Center, the Academic Village, The Colonnades dining hall and residence halls, The Oaks residence complex and Belk Track and White Field. Lambert has written extensively about post-secondary education and is co-editor of a book about university teaching that was published by the Syracuse University Press in 2005. His alma mater, the State University of New York, awarded him an honorary doctorate of human letters in 2002 in recognition of exceptional achievements in higher education. 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.

Dr. Gerald (Gerry) Francis is provost and vice president for academic affairs at Elon University. As provost, he is second in command, responsible for the academic program, admissions and student life. Francis received his undergraduate and graduate degrees from Appalachian State University, where he was a member of the basketball team. He earned a doctorate in mathematics at Virginia Polytechnic Institute (Virginia Tech). Francis came to Elon in 1974 as a professor in the department of mathematics. During his tenure, he received the Daniels-Danieley Award as Elon’s most outstanding teacher. In 1983, he joined the administrative ranks as dean of academic affairs, and was later named vice president before assuming his current position in 1994. During his years at Elon, the institution has doubled in size, increased quality among faculty and students and made substantial facilities improvements. Francis is a native of Arlington, Va., and is married to Burlington native Laine Neese Francis. His daughter Kristen and her husband James McCarthy are both Elon alums and have one child, Jay, and reside in Elon.

Athletics Administration

DAVE BLANK DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS Dave Blank begins his third year as the Elon University Director of Athletics for the

2008-09 campaign, following another year of notable improvement for the Phoenix in terms of athletic success, academic progress, marketing and fundraising. During his first two years at Elon, he ignited ambitious expansions in the Department of Athletics – including a restructuring of the Phoenix Club with emphasis on funding scholarships for student-athletes, a restructuring of the academic assistance program for athletics in conjunction with the Office of the Provost and a plan for future facility improvements, including an already completed renovation of the Latham Park baseball facility. In June 2008, Blank was appointed to serve on the NCAA Division I Championships/ Sports Management Cabinet – a 31-member cabinet consisting of athletics directors, senior woman administrators and faculty athletic representatives representing the nation’s multisport Division I conferences which will help shape the future of Division I athletics. Under Blank’s direction, 12 of Elon’s 16 teams fashioned higher Southern Conference finishes during the 2007-08 season than they did during the 2006-07 campaign. What makes that fact even more impressive is that 10 Phoenix squads achieved a higher SoCon finish during the 2006-07 season than they did during the previous campaign. In 2007-08, the Phoenix baseball team went on to claim SoCon outright regular season and tournament crowns en route to making the program’s third NCAA regional appearance in seven seasons. Also, Elon fell one mere victory shy of capturing the SoCon’s automatic NCAA postseason bid in football, men’s basketball and men’s tennis. During the 2006-07 season, Elon notched its first winning record in men’s soccer at the Division I level and posted SoCon outright regular season and tournament titles and an NCAA postseason appearance in men’s tennis. The Phoenix men’s soccer (2006), football (2007 and 2008), men’s tennis (2007 and 2008) and baseball (2008) teams have all earned national rankings during Blank’s time at Elon. Blank became the Elon Director of Athletics in 2006 after spending six years as the Director of Athletics at Drake University. At Drake, he directed an 18-sport NCAA Division I athletics program that competes in the Missouri Valley Conference. He was responsible for the creation of a comprehensive academic assistance program. During his tenure, Drake student-athletes consistently posted a combined grade-point average of 3.0 or above. Also, Blank oversaw the addition of the women’s crew, women’s golf and women’s soccer programs at Drake. Facility enhancements were a priority, including upgrades in the softball complex, renovation of the strength and conditioning facilities and new locker rooms for several sports. Under Blank’s guidance, Drake completed a $17 million renovation of Drake Stadium, which hosts football, soccer and track and field events as well as the nationally known Drake Relays. He restructured the Bulldog Club, which provides financial support for Drake athletics, resulting in a 90-percent increase in gifts. He also enhanced the marketing of Drake athletics to generate additional exposure and corporate donations. Blank served as chairman of the Missouri Valley Conference Championship Committee and was a member of the NCAA I-AA Governance Committee and Football Issues Committee. He received Gen. Robert R. Neyland Outstanding Athletics Director accolades from the All-American Football Foundation in 2005. Before moving to Drake in 2000, Blank worked at Coastal Carolina University where he served as Assistant/Associate Director of Athletics for three years (1996-99) and Director of Athletics for one year (1999-2000). Blank directed the CINO Club, increasing fiscal contributions to Coastal Carolina athletics by more than 200 percent. He spearheaded efforts to raise more than $4 million to establish an intercollegiate football program at the university, which began play in 2003. Before moving into athletics administration, Blank spent eight seasons (1988-1996) as head men’s basketball coach at Lock Haven University. Blank’s teams won 119 games during his tenure, making him the winningest head men’s basketball coach in Lock Haven history. He was named Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference Coach of the Year in 1989 and 1996. A native of Frostburg, Md., Blank attended Duke University for two years (1978-1980) before graduating from South Carolina in 1982 with a bachelor of science degree in business administration (finance). He earned a master of science degree in business administration from South Carolina in 1986. Blank and his wife, Leslie, are the proud parents of four children – Dexter, Samantha, Dustin and Davis.

Elon University men’s basketball places an emphasis on the physical development of their players. Under the direction of head strength and conditioning coach Aaron Walker, the squad benefits from innovative instruction and state-of-the-art facilities. Walker, in his fourth year at Elon, heads up Elon’s strength and conditioning program. Previously, he served as an assistant strength and conditioning coach at the University of North Carolina. Walker graduated from East Carolina University in May of 2002 with a bachelor of science degree in communications.

The Elon University Athletic Department is proactive in ensuring the academic success of all student-athletes from their recruiting visit through graduation. Integral components of academic support for athletics include the academic enhancement program, registration services, tutorial services, travel notices, recruiting visits, laptops and life skills. Academic Enhancement Program (AEP) All freshmen and select upperclassmen participate in the Academic Enhancement Program. All student-athletes in AEP meet with their assigned academic coordinator each week to discuss academic progress and concerns. In addition to weekly meetings, student-athletes in AEP are required to complete monitored study hours. To accommodate class and practice schedules, both daytime and nighttime options are available to complete monitored study hours.

Life Skills In addition to the academic support provided by Elon Athletics, programs are also in place to promote and enhance the student-athlete experience. Programs and speakers address topics such as freshman transition issues, health and wellness, and career/ Jayme Price graduate school preparation. The Student- Academic Coordinator Athlete Advisory Council is an organizafor Athletics tion for student-athletes, run by studentathletes, to provide an opportunity to serve the athletic, Elon and greater Burlington communities. Academic Success Phoenix athletes continue to excel in the classroom. Last year, Elon landed two ESPN The Magazine Academic All-Americans and saw 57 student-athletes earn Academic All-Southern Conference honors.

Page 15

Academic Support

Registration Services All student-athletes are assigned an academic advisor through the academic advising office. The academic advisor serves as the primary contact for preregistration and graduation requirements and student-athletes meet with their academic advisor prior to the beginning of registration to determine scheduling needs. Student-athletes also meet with the academic coordinator for their sport to balance their academic schedule with athletic demands, such as in-season versus out-of-season scheduling.

Elon basketball teams have one of the finest facilities of its kind to call home — the Koury Center. Named in honor of the Koury family of Burlington, the facility’s 155,000 square feet provide locker room space as well as the renovated Alumni Gymnasium – also known as “The Nest” – for basketball, volleyball and other events. The center also houses classrooms and offices for the Health, Physical Education & Leisure/Sport Management Department, Beck Pool, Jordan Gymnasium, an aerobics workout room, a weight room for students, faculty and staff, a weight room for varsity athletes and five racquetball courts.

Alumni Gym

A seven million dollar renovation project, executed by the architectural firm of Haskings, Rice, Savage and Pearce, P.A., included a complete overhaul of the original Alumni Gym that had opened in 1949. The complex features seating for 1,558 fans for basketball, a scoreboard system which includes a shot clock and game clock display above each goal, Hydra-Rib baskets, theatre-style seating in the upper arena and bleachers in the lower portion of the venue. The refurbished Alumni Gym hosted its first basketball games on Feb. 9, 1994, when Elon met Mars Hill College in a men’s and women’s doubleheader. In addition to athletic contests, the Koury Center has also hosted annual convocation ceremonies and other significant events. Recent speakers include former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher (April 28, 1995), Queen Noor of Jordan (Oct. 12, 2000), former President George Bush (April 10, 2001), former Pakistani Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto (Sept. 18, 2002), former NASA astronaut and U.S. Senator John Glenn (April 14, 2005) and former Secretary of State Colin Powell (April, 2006).

QUOTING COACH ERNIE NESTOR What excites you most about the 2008-09 season? I believe this year’s team is ready to take some exciting steps towards competing in the top of our league. Our players worked hard during our offseason and our team focus is better than ever. I think our guys know that they can accomplish something special this year and they seem determined to prevent anything from getting in their way. This excites me. How does last year’s performance in the Southern Conference tournament affect the team going into this year? Last year was a nice step for our program. Throughout my time at Elon we have been trying to move towards our ultimate goal of winning a Southern Conference championship. We came up short of our goal in last year’s conference tournament; however, I was pleased with the growth of our relatively young team. The experience of playing in the championship game gave our players confidence that they can compete for Southern Conference championships. I think this confidence has strongly affected our team’s intensity and focus during the offseason.

2008-09 Outlook

This will be the most experienced team since the 2005-06 team that won the North Division championship. In what ways do you expect a higher level of experience to impact your season? Experience on a basketball team is only valuable if your players show a desire to learn. Fortunately, our team falls into this category. I am happy with our focus and growth as a team and believe that we are at a better place now. I expect our experience level to impact our toughness and our consistency. What are your thoughts on the contributions of your senior class so far and what are your expectations for each of your three seniors this season? Our senior class consists of Ola Atoyebi, Brett James and Monty Sanders (left). Each senior is on course to graduate and they are excited to make the most of their final year as college basketball players. I expect them to take more of a leadership role on our team. Ola Atoyebi will look to build on a strong junior season. He was our leading rebounder and our second-leading scorer last year. He also ranked in the top 10 of the Southern Conference for rebounding, field goal percentage and free throw percentage. Each year he shows remarkable growth as a basketball player and I expect this year to be the same. Brett James is also faced with the challenge of improving on a nice junior season. He earned a spot on the All-SoCon team after leading our team in scoring and pulling down four rebounds per game. He is our biggest and most athletic perimeter player which enables him to affect the game in a variety of ways on offense and defense. Brett is working hard to improve his skill level which I hope will cause an improvement in his shooting percentages along with his ability to handle the ball. Monty Sanders experienced his first season in an Elon uniform last year after transferring from the University of Richmond. He showed the potential to offer versatility to our frontcourt on both ends of the floor. I believe that he will benefit from a year of game experience in our program and I expect his final season of college basketball to be his best. What are your expectations for the other returning frontcourt players? We have three junior frontcourt players and one red-shirt freshman. Our juniors are Adam Constantine, TJ Douglas (right) and Scott Grable. Adam Constantine is looking to build on his late-season success from last year. He is our most athletic post player. Last season he evolved into one of our best defensive rebounders and his ability to finish around the basket improved dramatically. I am impressed with his focus so far this year and expect him to compete at a high level. TJ Douglas comes off of a dramatically improved sophomore season. After missing his first 13 three-point attempts last season, TJ spent multiple hours outside of practice working to regain his shooting touch. He finished the season as our best three-point shooter, shooting 38.1 percent from three-point range and making six out of 10 three pointers in the Southern Conference championship game versus Davidson. He is also one of our toughest post defenders. Unfortunately for Scott Grable, he will not be able to compete this season due to an offseason ACL injury. He is working hard with his rehabilitation and we look forward to getting him back at full strength in the future. Our redshirt freshman is Daniel Watts. Daniel is a skilled 7-0 post player who is showing growth and potential. He spent the last year working to improve his strength and his agility and he will have an opportunity to earn time on the court this season.

How do you think the Elon backcourt will adjust to the graduations of Montell Watson and Brian Waters? What are your expectations for your returning perimeter players this season? Montell and Brian provided outstanding leadership and toughness for our team last season. They were also two of our better perimeter defenders. It will be important for this year’s backcourt to take on some of our leadership needs and to develop a higher level of defensive intensity. I am confident that our backcourt will be able to do these things and I expect great effort as we approach the beginning of our season. In addition to lone senior perimeter player Brett James, we are returning two junior guards, one sophomore guard, and one redshirt freshman backcourt player. We also add two freshmen. Our junior backcourt players are Devan Carter and Jonathan Ogolo. Both are shooting guards from Virginia. Devan is looking to have a strong impact on our team this season. He gave us a great boost during last year’s Southern Conference tournament by knocking down some big shots and playing great defense. His focus and work ethic have been excellent during the offseason and I am sure he will continue these efforts into the season. Jonathan Ogolo is a bigger guard with a nice shooting touch. He is dealing with some health issues that slowed him down over the past few years, but we are hopeful that he will be able to contribute valuable minutes this season. Chris Long (left) is our lone sophomore backcourt player. He will be one of our best returning perimeter shooters and also one of our best ballhandlers after playing in all 33 games last season. His feel for the game and his skill are a great value to our team. He also possesses deceptive speed and playmaking ability. Chris enjoyed a productive freshman campaign and is ready to take a stronger role on our team in Montell Watson’s absence. Terrance Birdette redshirted for us last season and is looking to take an active role on our team this year. He is one of our most physical and athletic perimeter players and he possesses the ability to give our team a great defensive presence on the perimeter. Our true freshman backcourt players are Josh Bonney and Drew Spradlin. Both seem excited to put on an Elon uniform for the first time. How are Josh Bonney and Drew Spradlin adjusting to the demands of college basketball and how do you see them contributing this season?

What are your thoughts on the schedule this season? What are the key factors to Elon competing at the top of the conference this season? Our schedule is very challenging and exciting this year. The Southern Conference will be competitive and our non-conference slate will put our guys to the test early. Our first game of the season will be versus West Virginia, a participant in last year’s Sweet 16. We also play ACC members Virginia Tech and Maryland and will face one of the nation’s leading scorers from last year in Lester Hudson from Tennessee-Martin. Our non-conference home games will be the Atlantic-Sun’s Lipscomb University and the Patriot League’s Naval Academy. We also host NAIA member Southern Virginia University and NCAA Division II member Lees-McRae College. We will compete in a Feb. 21 Bracketbuster game on the road. We play another 20-game conference schedule this year and look forward to improving on our regular season last year. Our conference tournament will be held in Chattanooga, Tenn. this year. A number of factors will determine our success in the league this year. I believe a vital statistic that we need to improve from last season is our shooting percentage from the field. Last year’s team ranked in the bottom half of the league for field goal shooting percentage. Our players are working hard to develop a better shooting consistency inside and outside the three point line. We also need to improve our rebounding after ranking ninth in the league’s rebounding margin statistic last year. We must do a better job of boxing out and pursuing the ball off the rim. While we struggled in certain areas last season, I thought our team competed well in others. We allowed the second-fewest points per game in the SoCon last season and our three-point field goal percentage defense was ranked second in the SoCon. It will be important that we continue to build on last year’s defensive toughness.

100th Season

2008-09 Outlook

Josh and Drew are doing a nice job of adjusting to our program and to college life. They are already showing significant progress and each one of them will have a chance to impact our team this season. Josh Bonney joins us as a true point guard from Lamar High School in Houston, Texas. During his senior year he led his team to the Texas 5A Regional Semi-Finals while leading the city of Houston in a number of statistical categories. His speed will benefit our team on both ends of the court and his strong work ethic is allowing him to make remarkable progress. Drew Spradlin enters our program after enjoying outstanding individual and team success with Wheelersburg High School in Wheelersburg, Ohio. Drew provided leadership and talent for a high school program that consistently advanced deep into the Ohio state playoffs. He is an excellent outside shooter and his size and basketball savvy will give him an advantage on the perimeter.


ERNIE NESTOR HEAD COACH 6TH YEAR AT ELON 11TH YEAR CAREER ALDERSON-BROADDUS, ‘68

Head Coach Ernie Nestor

Ernie Nestor enters his sixth season at the helm of the Elon University men’s basketball team in the 2008-09 campaign as the Phoenix enters its sixth season as a member of the Southern Conference. Last season, Nestor guided the Phoenix in its run to the Southern Conference Tournament finals. It marked the first time that an Elon men’s basketball team advanced to the finals of the SoCon Tournament. The Phoenix, seeded seventh, knocked off 10th-seeded Furman, second-seeded Chattanooga and sixth-seeded College of Charleston before falling to top-seeded Davidson in front of a national television audience in the finals. Guard Brett James and forward Ola Atoyebi both collected all-conference accolades as the team finished the campaign with a 14-19 overall mark. The team closed the season by winning seven of its final 11 contests. Under Nestor in 2006-07, the Phoenix finished with a 7-23 overall record. Senior guard/forward LeVonn Jordan was a bright spot for Elon, claiming all-conference honors from both the league’s coaches and media. Meanwhile, senior forward Chris Chalko was tabbed as an ESPN The Magazine Third Team Academic All-American. In 2005-06, Nestor and his squad achieved a long list of accomplishments. The Phoenix earned the Southern Conference North Division championship – the first-ever Southern Conference title of any kind for any Elon team – while also tallying Elon’s first win over an Atlantic Coast Conference school with a monumental victory at Clemson. The 2005-06 team put together an eight-game winning streak and did not lose at home after Dec. 17. Picked to finish fourth in the SoCon North Division, Nestor’s team started the season 2-9 before turning things around to finish with a 15-14 overall record – Elon’s first winning season in nine years – and a 10-4 mark in league play for a number-two seed in the conference tournament. For his reversal of the squad’s fortunes, Nestor earned 2006 Southern Conference Coach of the Year accolades from both the league’s coaches and the media. Nestor guided Chalko to All-Southern Conference honors as a junior while freshman Brett James was named to the Southern Conference All-Freshman Team that season. Chalko also garnered TIAA-CREF Student-Athlete of the Week accolades twice and earned a spot on the ESPN The Magazine Academic All-District III Team. Nestor also helped senior Jackson Atoyebi take Southern Conference Player of the Week honors once. In 2004-05, Nestor’s second season at Elon was plagued by injuries and the loss of two starters early in the campaign. Challenging his players to step into new roles, Nestor led his squad to six victories in its final 10 contests, including a first-round Southern Conference Tournament victory over Wofford to finish with an 8-23 overall record and a 5-11 league ledger. The Phoenix downed eventual conference tournament winner Chattanooga 62-59 on the road as well as runner-up UNC Greensboro 54-50 at Alumni Gym. Nestor’s 2004-05 squad produced Southern Conference All-Freshman Team member Brian Waters as well as three-time TIAA-CREF Southern Conference Student-Athlete of the Week Chalko. Nestor guided his 2003-04 squad to a third-place tie in the North Division of the Southern Conference in his inaugural campaign. Nestor’s first Phoenix squad finished 12-18, including 7-9 in league action while producing Southern Conference Media Association Second Team All-Conference choice Atoyebi, who finished among the top-six league leaders in scoring, rebounding and field goal percentage.

Coming to Elon after a two-year stint as an assistant coach at the University of South Carolina, Nestor was a long-time assistant at Wake Forest University, including an eight-year stint for head coach Dave Odom. Nestor has been in college coaching since 1976 and will enter his 33rd season when he directs the Phoenix during the 2008-09 campaign. Nestor’s total time at Wake Forest lasted 14 seasons over two separate terms (1979-1985, 1993-2001). He spent his last eight campaigns on the Demon Deacons’ staff under Odom, helping the team to postseason appearances in each of the eight years. During that period, Wake Forest captured the 1995 and 1996 ACC championships, advanced to the 1996 NCAA regional final and claimed the 2000 NIT championship. Nestor also served as the head coach of the 1996 U.S. Jones Cup Team in Taiwan. A 1968 graduate of Alderson-Broaddus College in his hometown of Philippi, W.Va., Nestor was also an assistant coach under Carl Tacy for six years (1979-1985) at Wake Forest, ironically replacing Odom, who had left to take over the helm at East Carolina University. Five Wake Forest teams earned postseason bids in those six years, including three NCAA invitations. The Demon Deacons logged over 20 victories in four consecutive seasons, advancing to the championship game of the 1984 NCAA Midwest Regional. Prior to his second stint with Wake Forest, Nestor served George Mason University as its head coach for five years (1988-1993), leading the Patriots to their first-ever NCAA Tournament berth in 1989. That squad claimed the Colonial Athletic Association tournament title, finishing the year 20-11. The 1989-90 team also reached the 20-victory plateau. He resigned after five years and a 68-81 record at George Mason to join Odom on his staff at Wake Forest in 1994.

MICHAEL PRESTON ASSISTANT COACH 6TH YEAR LYNCHBURG, ‘98 Michael Preston enters his sixth season on the Phoenix coaching staff, having been part of each of coach Ernie Nestor’s teams at Elon. Preston’s main reponsibility is to work with the Elon backcourt. In 200708, the Phoenix guards shot 38.2 percent from the field and 30.2 percent from long range. The guards posted a 1.1 assist to turnover ratio and accounted for 80.6 percent of the team’s assists. Preston coached Brett James to all-league and all-state honors in 2007-08. With help from Preston, the 2007-08 edition of the Phoenix achieved a milestone – becoming the first Elon men’s basketball team to advance to the finals of the Southern Conference Tournament. The Phoenix, seeded seventh, knocked off 10th-seeded Furman, second-seeded Chattanooga and sixth-seeded College of Charleston before falling to top-seeded Davidson in front of a national television audience in the finals.

In 2004-05, Preston was part of the staff that guided the team to victories in six of its final 10 contests. The Phoenix picked up wins over eventual Southern Conference tournament champion Chattanooga and eventual runner-up UNC Greensboro. He also coached guard Brian Waters to SoCon All-Freshmen honors. In his first year with the Phoenix, Elon concluded the 2003-04 season by winning seven out of its last 12 games, including six league contests. Picked to finish sixth out of six teams in the SoCon North Division, the Phoenix locked in a third-place finish and recorded its first-ever SoCon tournament victory with a win over The Citadel in the first round. Preston came to Elon from Hargrave Military Academy in Chatham, Va., where he served on the staff for four years, including two years as the head coach. The Tigers finished 27-4 his last season after going 25-3 the previous year. Known as one of the best of its kind in the country, Hargrave’s program is designed to help student-athletes achieve higher college board scores, higher grade-point averages and improved basketball skills. Hargrave has helped to develop several NBA players including Josh Howard (Dallas) and David West (New Orleans). While at Hargrave, Preston was instrumental in recruiting over 30 Division-I players. Some players that he coached include 2001 McDonald All-American James White and 2003 and 2004 Southern Conference Tournament MVP Tim Smith of East Tennessee State. A 1998 Lynchburg College graduate, Preston holds a B.A. degree in business management. Preston was a four-year letterman and a three-year starter as well as a team captain for the Hornets.

An improbable run to the Southern Conference title game, two all-conference performers and three all-tournament honorees highlighted the 2007-08 Elon Phoenix men’s basketball campaign which began with a near upset of Virginia Tech out of the Atlantic Coast Conference. Elon ended the season with a final record of 14-19, the secondhighest win total for the program since moving to NCAA Division I play for the 1999-2000 year.

2008-09 Review

Following Elon’s 69-64 defeat at Virginia Tech, the Phoenix also squared off with teams such as SEC Tournament champion Georgia and NIT participant Virginia Commonwealth before beginning Southern Conference play with three straight victories. The Phoenix entered the Southern Conference Tournament as the number seven seed after finishing the regular season in a tie for sixth place with College of Charleston. Elon proceeded to knock off 10th-seeded Furman (52-37), second-seeded Chattanooga (60-57) and sixth-seeded College of Charleston (75-61) before falling in a hard-fought contest to top-seeded, and nationally-ranked, Davidson by a 65-49 margin in the finals. The finals appearance, televised nationwide on ESPN2, marked the first time that the Elon men’s basketball program advanced to a league tournament final since joining the Division I ranks. Individually, three Phoenix players were honored by the Southern Conference, including junior guard Brett James who earned All-SoCon accolades from the league’s coaches and junior forward Ola Atoyebi (pictured below) who was named Third Team All-SoCon by the league’s media. Both James and Atoyebi, along with senior guard Montell Watson (pictured right), also collected Southern Conference All-Tournament distinction. Watson finished his career ranking among Elon’s all-time best players in four different categories. He sits among Elon’s career top-10 leaders with 164 steals, 329 assists, 130 three-pointers made and 360 threes attempted. He rates fourth in each of those categories. His 161 three-point field goal attempted last season rank as the ninth-highest total in program history. James also moved into three of Elon’s career top-10 lists as he now sits sixth with 308 threes attempted, tied for sixth with 65 blocks and tied for 10th with 88 three-pointers made. James was also named Second Team All-State by the North Carolina Collegiate Sports Information Association. Atoyebi shot 57.3 percent from the field, connecting on 161-of-281 field goals, the 10th-best season shooting percentage in school history.
