2011-2012 SEASON PREVIEW The Transition is Over, This time it Counts NCCU Looks to begin MEAC play strong in first year as NCAA Division I Member Third year head coach of the North Carolina Central University men’s basketball program LeVelle Moton could have a much improved team on his hands in 2011-12 and his squad will be chomping at the bit to get the season started. The question is how will the Eagles stack up against the best of the best in the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference? And with conference championships and a possible NCAA tournament berth at stake, will NCCU get to taste the postseason in its first year as a member of Division I? Picked to finish fifth in the league, Moton knows a major test awaits his program when they reach conference play. “We were picked to finish in the middle of a tremendous league,” said Moton. “With that said, we have our hands full each and every night in this league. There are no nights off, and mental toughness and preparation will definitely be key.” In his second season at the helm, Moton and the Eagles turned heads throughout the conference by racing through a MEAC schedule that was missing the top two teams Morgan State University and tournament champion Hampton University. Despite those two not being on last year’s schedule the Eagles went 10-5 in the regular season, which included a season sweep of the third best team in the league Coppin State University and a huge road win over rival North Carolina A&T. The accolades for Moton and his squad in the final transition year opened a lot of eyes around the “Eagle Nation.” The 15 wins equaled the total number of wins throughout the entire transition as NCCU ran off two four-win seasons and a seven-victory campaign in Moton’s first year. The Eagles also beat their first midmajor school on the road with a 66-58 win over Western Illinois University on Jan. 26, 2011. “Last season, this program did take some steps forward,” said Moton. “We are in no way, shape, or form satisfied with where we are, but it was a positive step in the right direction, and we have to answer the challenge given to us to better that and keep making progress.” If NCCU’s statistics would have counted as far as being a full Division

I member, NCCU would have rated first in the MEAC in field goal percentage at 45.0 percent per game, second in the league in three-point percentage at 35.6 percent from the perimeter and the maroon and gray were second in the conference in opponent three-point percentage at 31.9 percent from the outside. The Eagles sported one of the top three-point shooters in the nation in Landon Clement (Raleigh, N.C.), who hit a school record 109 three-pointers to shatter Moton’s previous record of 87 in the 1994-95 season. He was second in the nation hitting 3.6 threes per ballgame. In the preseason, the coaches and sports information directors around the league voted Clement first team All-MEAC. “Landon had an outstanding junior year,” said Moton. “His play against MEAC schools earned the respect of the coaches and his peers around the league. The challenge for him will be to Landon Clement was named to the Preseason Allfollow up his junior season with a MEAC First Team, after hitting a school record 109 more polished senior season.” three-pointers last season.

2011-2012 SEASON PREVIEW look to provide depth for NCCU. Returning for his second year at NCCU, will be junior David Best (Raleigh, N.C.) who showed flashes of what he could be in the post when he scored 13 points and grabbed nine rebounds on the road at Air Force and led the team with 24 blocks on the season. Of the five newcomers Moton will be relying heavily on Dominique Sutton (Durham, N.C.) from Kansas State and Ray Willis (Atlanta, Ga.) from Oklahoma, along with University of Georgia transfer Ebuka Anayaorah. The Big 12 duo certainly helped shaped the team last season in practice, but this year these two should put the Eagles in position to challenge the league’s elite. Anayaorah comes to NCCU after averaging 2.7 points a game in 28 contests in Athens, but came to UGA as one of the top players in the Peach state averaging 26.3 points a game which was second-highest in the state. At 6-5, 212 pounds, Sutton bring’s versatility and athleticism to the roster, while the 6-6 Willis provides the Eagles with size around the perimeter. Sutton will have one year of eligibility, while Willis and Anayaorah will be a juniors for Moton’s squad. The final two newcomers are no slouches by any stretch of the imagination and their size and athleticism could be a secret weapon for the maroon and gray.

Sophomore transfer DavRon Williams from Marion, Ind. comes to NCCU looking to use his 6-7 frame to bang the boards, while 6-7 freshman Kamaro Jawara will also be trying to make an impact in his first year on campus. “All we can do is go at this thing every day 100 percent,” said Moton. “We are going to get in the gym, work as hard as we possibly can, and hit this thing running as hard as we can, and if that happens we think we can do some special things, but we’re not focused on that right now.” All in all, the Eagles should certainly be in the conversation as one of the top teams in the league, but whether that will be the case or not remains to be seen. The long road to becoming Division I eligible is finally over and NCCU can now have the same dreams as every other school in the land, which is a welcomed sight for this program. 2011-12 Schedule North Carolina Central University men’s basketball coach LeVelle Moton is announcing the first schedule as official Division I members that boasts 11 home games, including a full Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC) schedule as NCCU is now eligible to compete for championships in Moton’s third year at the helm. “Once again, we have our work cut out for us as we prepare to face a difficult non-conference schedule,” said Moton. “The challenge that lies ahead should tell us a lot about who we are and the progress that this program has made to this point in the transition.” Opening night of the 2011-12 season takes place just down the road against Charlotte at 8:00 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 11 inside the boisterous Halton Arena. Since making the move, the Eagles have yet to face the 49ers, but have taken on three different teams in the Atlantic 10 Conference in program history and sport a 2-1 record. Charlotte and NCCU have never met on the hardwood. Just two days later, Moton and his troops will return to McDougaldMcLendon Gym for their home opener against the Wildcats of Johnson and Wales University. These two met up in the season-opener last year with NCCU running away with a 90-30 win. That contest is slated for a 4:00 p.m. tipoff on Sunday, Nov. 13. www.NCCUEaglePride.com

Three days later, the Eagles will hit the road for a two-game road swing that will see the Eagles head up to Staten Island, N.Y., to take on the Seahawks of Wagner College in the program’s first meeting on Wednesday, Nov. 16 at 7:30 p.m. from the Spiro Center. College basketball fans may know the brother combination that is leading the Wagner program as the head coach is Danny Hurley, brother of former Duke standout and assistant coach, Bobby Hurley, who led the Blue Devils to back-to-back national titles in 1991 and 1992. The Seahawks are coming off a season where they were eight games better than the year before under Danny Hurley. NCCU is currently 2-2 against Northeast Conference opponents. “We typically schedule games in the hometown of our senior class so we definitely look forward to letting Justin Leemow play in front of his family when we head up to New York,” said Moton. The Eagles will return to the Tar Heel state and make the approximately 80 mile trip down interstate 40 to take on Wake Forest University for the third time since 2008 with the Demon Deacons holding a 2-0 advantage over NCCU. The Sunday evening tilt on Nov. 20 will begin at 7:00 from the Lawrence Joel Veterans Memorial Coliseum, the home for the 2012 MEAC Men’s and Women’s Basketball Tournament. Wake Forest

The Aggies currently lead the series 74-63 all-time as both teams won on each other’s home floor last season. “The MEAC is always tough and we will have our work cut out for us every night,” said Moton. “The first place team in the league can be beaten by the last, so preparation for each and every game will be imperative to our success.” the first conference Following matchup, the Eagles will not return home for another month, playing six straight games on the road in the month of December. A Dec. 6 contest at Eastern Kentucky will see the Eagles and the Colonels meet for the first time, as NCCU currently holds a 4-12 record against teams from the Ohio Valley Conference.

January will see the maroon and gray ring in the new year with back-to-back home games to begin the month before heading out for three straight on the road as the Eagles host Florida A&M (Jan. 7) and defending regular season champ Bethune-Cookman (Jan. 9). NCCU went 2-2 against the Florida schools in the league, sweeping the Rattlers while the Wildcats took two from the Eagles.

The Eagles are 0-5 against the Big Ten since moving to Division I. The Hoosiers ended the 201011 campaign with a 12-20 record, but many experts around the Big Ten are calling for IU to be a team to be reckoned with this season under third year head coach Tom Crean. “This is the reason we play teams like Oregon and Indiana,” said Moton. “These are two schools that should finish in the upper half of power conferences, so we will relish the opportunity Nick Chasten and the Eagles return to Assembly Hall where to compete against those Chasten and company gave the Indiana fits before the historic programs.” Hoosiers pulled away for the 72-56 win.

NCCU REJOINS MEAC

NCCU REJOINS MID-EASTERN ATHLETIC CONFERENCE During a press conference on Sept. 10, 2009, the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC) announced that North Carolina Central University would join the conference as its 13th member. And while MEAC officials along with NCCU staff, coaches, student-athletes and fans celebrated the milestone, it did not become effective until Thursday (July 1). NCCU is now back in the conference it helped establish, as one of seven founding institutions. The MEAC was confirmed in 1970, and played its first season of competition in football in 1971. The Eagles contended in the MEAC from 1971-79, winning nine conference championships in eight seasons. NCCUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s history with the conference is evidenced by having seven former coaches, administrators and studentathletes inducted into the MEAC Hall of Fame. Also celebrating admission to the MEAC on Thursday is Savannah State University, a frequent independent opponent of the Eagles during the

past three years of NCCUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Division I reclassification. "I am elated to have such an outstanding academic institution as North Carolina Central to return to the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference," said MEAC Commissioner Dennis E. Thomas. "I would like to commend Chancellor Nelms, Dr. Wicker-McCree, and the entire NCCU family for all their continued hard work as they make the transition from Division II to Division I." Commissioner Thomas added, "The addition of NCCU keeps us in compliance with our long range strategic plan of adding up to 14 members. NCCU is a perfect fit for the MEAC." NCCU is one of seven founding member institutions of the MEAC. The Eagles withdrew from the conference in 1979, opting to remain a Division II member when the conference reclassified to Division I. From 1979-2007, NCCU competed in the Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association (CIAA). "This is a significant milestone in North Carolina Central University's transition to Division I," said NCCU Chancellor Charlie Nelms. "Membership in the MidEastern Athletic Conference is a win-win proposition for our Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference Commissioner Dennis Thomas (Photos by Robert Lawson) student-athletes, alumni and fans -www.NCCUEaglePride.com

"We now have a home!"

-Dr. Ingrid Wicker-McCreeNCCU Director of Athletics indeed, all our university constituents." "This is wonderful news for North Carolina Central University, but most importantly for our student-athletes, coaches and fans," said NCCU Director of Athletics, Dr. Ingrid Wicker-McCree. "The Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference is a fantastic conference with highly competitive academic and athletic institutions. For NCCU to return to the MEAC and be part of its rich history is a tremendous step for our athletics program. We now have a place to call home." The addition of NCCU marks the second expansion for the MEAC since 2007, when Winston-Salem State became the 12th member of the conference. Prior to Winston-Salem State, the MEAC expanded in the 90's with the inclusion of Norfolk State in 1997 and Hampton in 1995. NCCU becomes the third MEAC institution located in the state of North Carolina and the fourth in the Carolinas, joining WSSU, North Carolina A&T State (Greensboro), and South Carolina State (Orangeburg).

This year will mark LeVelle Moton's third season as head coach and the program has a ton of momentum heading into its first year as an official Division I member.

He boasted one of the top shooting teams in the league overall at 45.0 percent and from the outside at 35.4 percent.

MOTON'S VISION: SUCCESS FOR EAGLES

Raleigh native overcomes humble upbringing to become N.C. Central's New Coach WRITTEN BY EDWARD G. ROBINSON III - Staff Writer - News & Observer Published: Sun, Jun. 21, 2009 LeVelle Moton anticipates your laughter, but he's so serious ... "I want to take N.C. Central to the Final Four," he said. "It can be done. That's why we play the game. If we get there, get on that dance floor, anything can happen." He knows it sounds funny -- N.C. Central and its new basketball coach making a deep run in the NCAA Tournament. The school entered Division I two years ago. The Eagles don't play in a conference, finished last season with a 4-27 record and are not even allowed to compete in the postseason until 2011. But if Moton has learned one thing, it's never to listen to those who can't see his vision, can't understand how this kid from Southeast Raleigh rose from Boys and Girls Club participant to high school and college star to Division I head coach, all while avoiding the pitfalls of drugs and violence that befell many of his neighborhood peers. Since graduating from Enloe in 1992, where he was a McDonald's All-American Honorable Mention as a senior, he has positioned himself as an up-and-coming college coach. He's been methodical in his approach and has leveraged his status as a local basketball figure. He's earned respect and credibility within the Triangle basketball community, having created his reputation as a sweet-shooting guard at N.C. Central and a two-time conference championship coach at once-woeful Sanderson High. He's established relationships with top recruits like John Wall. He's the guy North Carolina players used to train with in the summer and NBA players consulted when they needed help. So laugh, but he's so serious ... "I don't know any better," said Moton, 35, a Raleigh native who became the program's 17th coach in March. "It was the same thing when I was at the Mini Park [basketball courts where he played growing up], and they were like, 'Here, hit this,' and I was like, 'No, because I'm going pro one day.' ... It's the same chuckle I've gotten all my life."

Avoiding trouble Moton refers to himself as the "rose that grew from concrete."

(Photo by Chuck Liddy- News & Observer) It's a direct reference -- one he borrowed from slain rapper Tupac Shakur -to his childhood in Southeast Raleigh with his mother, Hattie McDougald, and older brother, Verne. They lived in a two-bedroom apartment on East Jones street, where the boys shared a room. Behind their three-floor building was an empty lot where Moton and his brother shot baskets through a bike tire rim they hung on a tree. They tied shoestrings as nets. "All of this was the projects," said Moton one day last month as he toured the neighborhood blocks down from historic Oakwood. He looked at the newly developed homes, painted in pretty pastels, and said, "We would have been proud to have been from this neighborhood right there." The neighborhood he remembered paled in comparison. One block teemed with a liquor house, crack house and prostitution house. Crime, drugs and violence choked the environment, he said. From the basketball courts at the Mini Park on Lane Street he could see downtown Raleigh, but it seemed worlds away. When Moton was 9, one of his friends was struck by a stray bullet. Twice crooks burglarized his home. "It's hard seeing your door open and seeing your TV gone, VCR gone, and you know your mom has scrapped just to get that," he said. Growing up, he balanced a child's desire to venture out with his mother's non-negotiable rulebook. "He knew he couldn't get anywhere in life with a record," McDougald said. "I stressed that." www.NCCUEaglePride.com

Determined to keep her boys from trouble, she asked former Wake County sheriff John H. Baker Jr. to show them the inside of the county jail. "That was real," Moton said. "I saw how cats were living and wanted more out of my life." "Telling them was one thing, showing them was another," McDougald said. It was a lesson that may have saved Moton from the hardships some of his friends faced. Two of his teenage friends went to prison for robbing and killing a store clerk. His mother, who owned a cleaning service, provided what she could. Still, he was teased about his free lunches in high school. "Poor is a mentality," Moton said. "We didn't have financial money. But the love and the doctrines of making you feel good about yourself; my mother had a Ph.D. in that."

'A safe haven' If escaping poverty was Moton's motivation, then the Raleigh Boys and Girls Club was his salvation. He joined a year early, at age 5, a deal his mother brokered to allow him to attend with his older brother. "I don't know what I would have done without the Boys Club," said McDougald, whose children attended year-round. In the summer, they were there from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. They usually arrived on foot, cutting through St. Augustine's campus, past the Washington Terrace apartment complex.

MOTON'S VISION: SUCCESS FOR EAGLES Ron Williams, the Raleigh club's former athletic director, coached Moton until he entered high school and over time became a father figure to the boy with the Slim Jim build and competitive nature. Back then, the club's motto was "the club that beats the streets." "The Boys Club was a safe haven for him," Williams said. "He could feel free to come and have a good time and without fear of all of those negative things." Moton read his first book at the Boys Club. He remains a voracious reader. "They exposed me to another side," said Moton, who easily mixed with kids from different ethnic and social backgrounds. The boys club also fostered Moton's love for sports. For a high-energy, gregarious child, they provided more than enough activities, from baseball -- his first love -- to soccer. But you could always find Moton on the basketball court. He'd play horse for a quarter. Or play one-on-one to 10. After a while, with his quick first step separating him from the pack, he'd have to spot eight points to get a game. "For 50 cent?" he said. "Yeah, I'll spot you eight."

Engaging personality Of course, Moton believes the Final Four is within N.C. Central's grasp. His childhood, he said, set the foundation for him to believe that anything is possible. He'll still spot you eight points. Nicknamed "Poetry 'N Moton," he is third among N.C. Central's all-time career scoring leaders with 1,714 points, owns the 3-point field goals made career record, is fourth in free throws made, fifth in assists, eighth in field goals made, 10th in scoring average and 11th in steals. He was named the 1996 CIAA player of the year, edging Ben Wallace, now with the NBA's Cleveland Cavaliers. After graduating from college with a bachelor's degree in recreation administration in 1996, Moton played four seasons with professional teams in Indonesia and Israel. In 2001, he returned home and took his first coaching job at West Millbrook Middle School, remaining there for three seasons until he was hired as the head coach at Sanderson. "I remember early on that this was a young man that had a tremendous capacity for doing good," said Cathy Moore, an area superintendent with the Wake County Public Schools, who was the principal at Sanderson and hired Moton. She was also his French teacher at Enloe.

grandmother and mother," he said. Now he has his own family. He married his wife Bridget in 2008. She gave birth to his first child, Brooke, on March 12. He signed a five-year contract with N.C. Central for an annual salary of $100,000. "I learned so much from the have-nots," Moton said. "I'm glad I was at the bottom because I got a full view of everything. Now it comes back full circle."

Giving back

LeVelle and his wife, Bridget,

People tend to like Moton, even other coaches. He's easygoing, quick to exchange handshakes and share a story. "He doesn't meet a stranger," said former Duke point guard Jeff Capel, who is now head coach at Oklahoma. Moton has collected mentors like Moore, inside and outside of basketball. "He has studied under all the good coaches, watched them and studied them," Southeast Raleigh High basketball coach John Baker III said. "He's gone through all the proper steps." In July 2007, Moton left Sanderson to take an assistant job at his college alma mater, serving as a recruiter for two seasons. His selection as head coach came as a surprise to some who felt the program needed a more experienced leader as it makes its transition from Division II. Moton understands the pressures but is determined to use the formula that allowed him to succeed so far. Despite life's challenges, he never wavered from what he knew to be the right thing.

Moton shares those lessons with players. Many of them can relate to his underdog story. He continues to support the Raleigh Boys and Girls Club. On Aug. 7, he will sponsor a day of fun for members. "The work he does is about the people," Moore said. "It's about the students, the athletes, the colleagues he works with, about the people who have formally and informally mentored him along the way." Moton said he wants his players to answer four questions before they leave his program: Who are you? What are your core beliefs? Why are you here on this earth? And where are you going when you leave N.C. Central? What should they take from him? "The determination," he said. "The will to succeed. A lot of men will not admit it but I have an insecurity about myself. ... I'm scared if I don't make it I'm going back there." That's why Moton can talk about reaching the Final Four. "That's just how my life's been," he said. "Nobody believed me. I've always been the underdog. I've always had to prove people wrong. For me, that's cool."

2009-2010 SEASON REVIEW

NCCU SENDS MESSAGE TO MEAC GOING 10-5 AGAINST LEAGUE OPPONENTS The final season for NCCU in the rigorous transition to Division I was one of the best season's by any team during the move to the top level of the NCAA with NCCU finishing 15-15 overall including a 10-5 mark against MEAC opponents in the regular season. Here are some more highlights of Coach Moton's second season.

WILKERSON JOINS 1,000 POINT CLUB NCCU senior guard C.J. Wilkerson enjoyed a tremendous final season donning the maroon and gray. The Oxford, N.C. product made his mark from day one on campus, scoring 472 points in 29 games in his first season, averaging 16.3 points a game. Last year his game reached another level as he scored 551 points and leading the team with 19.0 points a contest. Wilkerson scored 17 against BethuneCookman to join the 1,000 point club, becoming the 33rd player in school history to do so. A remarkable feat considering he has played just 58 (17.6 ppg) games as an Eagle, which ranks him sixth all-time. He finished up with 1,023 career points at NCCU. He is 29th all-time in that category and

was named to the NCAA Division I All-Independent team for a second straight season. CLEMENT BREAKS MOTON'S SCHOOL RECORD FROM THREE When junior transfer Landon Clement made the decision to come to the Bull City, his stats from UNC Greensboro proved he could shoot, but Clement lit up the nets in his first season at NCCU. Against Oklahoma on Nov. 15, Clement was a scorching 6-for-9 (66.6%) from three-point range to tie for a gamehigh 22 points. From that point on he was lights out from the perimeter, and on Thursday night Feb. 17, 2011 against Coastal Carolina Clement hit his 88th three-pointer with 14:27 to go in the first half to break Moton's 16-year old record. He finished the season 109-for-268 (40.7%) from the outside. NCCU head coach LeVelle Moton owned the single season record for threepointers with 87 during the 199495 season. Clement hit 3.63 three pointers per game, which would have placed him No. 2 in the nation had NCCU's record's counted

during its final transition season.

2009-2010 SEASON REVIEW

AS “COMMISSIONER GORDON” GOES, THE EAGLES GO If C.J. Wilkerson was “Batman” and Landon Clement was “Robin” as the top two scorers consistently, head coach LeVelle Moton had been searching for that third guy to step up. Well this season it’s been none other than Nick “Commissioner Gordon” Chasten. When the junior scores in double-figures the Eagles are 14-6, and are a perfect 4-0 when he records a double-double, a true testament to his value to the 201011 squad. He finished the year averaging 11.7 points a game, and grabs 7.1 rebounds per contest. C.J.’s MAGICAL PERFORMANCE AT A&T C.J. Wilkerson’s career-high 41 points against rival North Carolina A&T will not only live on with Eagle

fans, but it has also found a spot in the record books. Wilkerson finished with the second-highest total against the Aggies that was held by NBA Hall-of-famer Sam Jones, who scored 44 points against the arch-rivals during the 1953-54 season. His head coach LeVelle Moton scored 35 points on North Carolina A&T on Jan. 19, 1995 in a 93-87 loss to the Aggies in the Greensboro Colisuem. The Oxford native scored the most points by an Eagle since Willie Jennette scored 43 points against Gardner Webb on Dec. 14, 1985 and his perfect 15for-15 from the charity stripe is the most since Jennette went 15-for-16 from the line against Elizabeth City State on Jan. 13, 1986. CLEMENT’S BIG WEEK GARNERS HSRN HONORSTWICE Twice during the 2010-11 season, junior transfer Landon Clement had stellar weeks that has garnered attention by the Heritage Sports Radio Network. During the week of Jan. 31-Feb. 5 Clement was given praise for averaging 24.5 points in two games with 23 pts against Bethune-Cookman and 26 pts agains Howard. He also added seven rebounds, seven assists and three steals in those two games for an NCCU squad that went 1-1. From Jan. 10-15 he scored 24 points against UMES and 25 points against Coppin State, the Heritage Sports Radio Network placed him on the website’s fan poll where he won the Division I Men’s National Player of the week. Clement has become the first Eagle to do so this season and he averaged 24.5 points per game leading NCCU to a 2-0 week. NICK CHASTEN GETS BUCKETS AND DOUBLE-DOUBLES The junior forward has really blossomed under Moton’s tutelage. In early December, Chasten recorded back-to-back doubledoubles (16 points, 15 rebounds vs. Washington Adventist and (24 www.NCCUEaglePride.com

points, 11 rebounds vs. South Carolina State). The Raleigh native combined for 40 points and 26 rebounds along with acquiring a busted lip in the process that required approximately five stitches. He nearly completed the feat again over the with his 18 points and 18 rebounds against Milligan on Dec. 29, and his eights points and 12 boards against East Carolina. Chasten has six career double-doubles and has recorded double-digit rebounds eight times during his tenure. The last Eagle to record back-to-back doubledoubles occurred in the 2004-05 season when Johnathan Moore reached this feat twice. On Dec. 20, 2004 he scored 18 points and grabbed 11 rebounds against Queens College, followed up with a

2010-2011 SEASON REVIEW 24 point 14 rebound effort against Columbus State on Dec. 22, 2004. Later that season, Moore scored 27 points and ripped down 10 rebounds on Feb. 1, 2005 against Johnson C. Smith, and in the next contest against rival Winston-Salem State on Feb. 5, 2005 dropped in 26 points and amassed 15 rebounds.

12 (25.0%) from behind-the-arc. NCCU finished the season shooting 35.4 percent from three-point range hitting 199-of-5562 shots from the perimeter after 29 games. The last time the Eagles failed to make a shot from beyond the arch was on Jan. 17, 2006, during a 64-61 victory over Livingstone College in Salisbury, N.C.

The Wildcats’ 30 points was the fewest allowed by an opponent since Petersburg (Va.) YMCA managed just 29 points on Dec. 27, 1948 in NCCU won 8129. This was also the fewest points allowed by NCCU against a college opponent since a 75-28 victory over Saint Augustine’s College during the 1947-48 season.

EAGLES IN THE NBA DRAFT

NCCU’S YOUNG SELECTED BY SEATTLE IN NBA DRAFT

North Carolina Central University senior David Young had his dream fulfilled on June 24, 2004, when the Seattle Supersonics selected the All-CIAA guard with the 41st overall pick in the 2004 NBA Draft. Young, NCCU’s first NBA draft pick in 21 years, sat alone in an Atlanta hotel room when he saw his name flash on the television as the 12th player chosen in the second round. After ending his college career as the Eagles’ top scorer in 2003-04 with 20.5 points per game, Young faced a long and tough journey around the NBA workout circuit. “I have endured and persevered through a lot of tough times.” Young said reflecting on his life and basketball career. “I have always dreamed about playing in the NBA. I got a second opportunity at North Carolina Central University and now my dream has come true.”

EAGLES IN THE BASKETBALL HALL OF FAME

NCCU Eagles Inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame John B. McLendon

Enshrined: As a coach on April 30, 1979 Born: April 5, 1915 in Hiawatha, KS Died: October 8, 1999 NCCU: Head Coach, 1940-1952 John B. McLendon’s contributions to the sport of basketball are virtually innumerable. His advisor at the University of Kansas was the inventor of basketball, Dr. James Naismith. At North Carolina College from 1937 to 1952, and as head basketball coach from 1940 to 1952, he pioneered basketball’s full court game, using such strategies as the full court press, the full court zone (now known as the zone press), the open center offense whose variants include the “four corners,” the rotating pivot, and the double-pivot. In 38 years as a head coach, he achieved a collegiate coaching record of 523 wins to 165 losses for a .760 winning percentage, including a 239-68 record at NCC. He was also the first black coach in a professional basketball league (with the Cleveland Pipers in the American Basketball League in 1961) and the first black coach at a predominantly white university (Cleveland State employed him in June 1966). Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame Bio: John B. McLendon’s engaging personality made him a popular basketball figure for more than 60 years. His extraordinary knowledge of basketball history made him one of the game’s leading ambassadors. But, it is his coaching resume that makes many in the profession envious. McLendon, who learned basketball from Dr. James Naismith as an undergraduate at Kansas, is the first coach in history to win three consecutive national titles. McLendon earned this honor by guiding Tennessee State to the 1957, 1958 and 1959 NAIA national championships. McLendon championed for heightened awareness of basketball at all-black colleges, and helped initiate an era of integrated basketball. McLendon’s well-rounded coaching background included positions at the collegiate, AAU and professional level. He coached North Carolina College, Hampton Institute, Tennessee State, Kentucky State and Cleveland State along with the Cleveland Pipers (NIB-ABL) and the Denver Rockets (ABA). Named the 1958 NAIA Coach of the Year, McLendon coached teams that won eight CIAA titles between 1941 and 1952, the NIBL and AAU championships in 1961, and the ABL Eastern Division crown in 1962. McLendon, who has traveled the world promoting basketball, wrote two books, Fast Break Basketball and The Fast Break Game.

SAM JONES

Enshrined: As a player on April 30, 1984 Born: June 24, 1933 in Laurinburg, NC NCCU: Student-Athlete, 1951-54 / 1956-57 North Carolina College Playing Highlights: Scored 1,745 points playing for Hall of Fame coach John McLendon; Three-time All-Conference; Enshrined in NAIA Hall of Fame (1962). Pro Highlights (NBA Boston Celtics, 1957-69): All-NBA Second Team (1965-67); Five-time NBA All-Star (1962, 1964-66, 1968); Member of 10 championship teams (1959-66 and 1968-69); Tallied 15,411 points (17.7 ppg) in his 12-year career; Scored 2,909 points in 154 playoff games (18.9 ppg), 15th best in history; NBA 25th Anniversary Team (1970); NBA 50th Anniversary Team (1996). Hall of Fame Bio: At six-footfour, Sam Jones was the prototype of the tall guard who could run the floor, bang the boards and had a rangy offensive game that gave opponents fits. One of the “Jones Boys” in Boston, Sam teamed with K.C. in the Celtics backcourt to create havoc in NBA arenas around the country. Jones favored an unorthodox but highly effective “bank shot” that became the muscle behind his and Boston’s 10 NBA championships, including eight in a row (1958-66). As a collegian, Jones was an offensive firehouse scoring 1,745 points while playing for Hall of Fame coach John McLendon at all-black North Carolina College. Jones was not a collegiate All-America and was a relative unknown, but that didn’t sway Red Auerbach, who drafted Sam in the first round of the 1957 draft. Jones didn’t disappoint the Boston faithful. His 12-year NBA career included five All-Star Game appearances, 871 regular season games and 154 playoff games. Considered one of the NBA’s most prolific graceful shooters, Jones scored 15,411 points (17.7 ppg), plus 2,909 (18.9 ppg) more in the playoffs. Considered one of the fastest NBA guards with superb court vision and savvy, Jones led the Celtics in scoring three times, averaging a career-high 25.9 points in 1965. An extremely popular player, in 1970 Jones was selected to the NBA Silver Anniversary Team (1970), a composition of the greatest NBA stars of the league’s first 25 years. He later would be named one of the top 50 players in history when the NBA celebrated its 50th Anniversary in 1996.

CHANCELLOR CHARLIE NELMS Chancellor Charlie Nelms has led North Carolina Central University since 2007. During that time, despite a challenging budget climate, he has intensified the university’s emphasis on student success, setting ambitious goals for increasing student retention and graduation rates. These goals were given first priority in the strategic planning effort Nelms led to successful completion in 2010. In keeping with this priority, Nelms reorganized the University College to provide comprehensive advising and academic support services for all entering students and he instituted programs to improve the academic success of African-American males in particular. Nelms established a new vice chancellor for research and economic development to better manage the university's growing research sector.

In 2010 – 2011, university faculty received more than $25 million in sponsored research grants. This year, the university has embarked on the development of a Ph.D. program in integrated biosciences that is scheduled to enroll students in fall 2012. These will be the first doctoral students at NCCU since 1964. Chancellor Nelms has dramatically improved the aesthetics and physical assets of the campus with the infusion of more than $75 million in new construction of a nursing building, residence hall and parking deck, and millions more in renovation of existing facilities. It was Nelms’ inspiration to move the historic Holy Cross Catholic Church across campus to its new location on Fayetteville Street alongside the new Centennial Garden. In 2011, Nelms published A Call to Action, a policy directive intended to spur a national dialogue concerning the revitalization of the historically black colleges and universities as an important sector of American higher education. Before coming to NCCU, Nelms served as vice president for Institutional Development and Student Affairs for the Indiana University system. He was also a chancellor twice before. In 1987, Nelms began a sevenyear tenure as chancellor of Indiana University East, and in 1994 he was named chancellor of the University of Michigan at Flint (UMF). There, he resolved a significant campus budget deficit, reversed a fouryear enrollment decline and secured more than $75 million in private gifts to UMF. Active in professional, civic, and higher education organizations, Nelms is past chair of the NCA Higher Learning Commission Board of Trustees and the National Advisory Board of the National Survey of Student Engagement. He also served as chair of the American Council on Education (ACE) NCCU Chancellor Charlie Nelms (right) is presented with a Commission for Leadership ceremonial key to his new office by Atty.

History In 1910, Dr. James E. Shepard envisioned and founded a school that prepared African American adults for leadership roles in our nation’s communities. Founded as the National Religious Training School and Chautauqua, North Carolina Central University (NCCU) became the nation’s first state-supported historically black liberal arts college. In 1923, the National Training School became the state-supported Durham State Normal School, devoted to “the training of teachers for the Colored Public Schools of North Carolina.” Two years later, Dr. Shepard was able to persuade the General Assembly to take a revolutionary step, making the institution a liberal arts college and naming it North Carolina College for Negroes in 1925. The School of Law was established in 1940 and the School of Library Science in 1941. By the time of Dr. Shepard’s death on October 6, 1947, the institution that had become North Carolina College at Durham was fully-accredited, highly respected and had become the alma mater of a growing list of distinguished alumni. Today, under the leadership of Chancellor Charlie Nelms, NCCU is a comprehensive university offering more than 100 bachelor’s degrees in various disciplines, 40 master’s degree programs and three professional degrees in law. The university reaches out to all racial and ethnic groups, and has a diverse student population of more than 8,000. New Initiatives NCCU is on the cutting edge with its Biomanufacturing Research Institute and Technology Enterprise known as BRITE. The institute offers new bachelor’s and master’s

UNIVERSITY PROFILE degrees in pharmaceutical science. These programs provide students with core scientific competencies in biology or chemistry as well as hands-on laboratory practice. In addition, there are seminar courses in drug development operations, FDA regulations, quality assurance and control, and intellectual property and patent law. NCCU’s BRITE is an important part of the statewide initiative to make North Carolina a premiere provider of skilled workers for the biotechnology industry. The School of Law has won kudos for providing top-notch legal education. According to Vault, Inc., a publishing firm that researches and collects data on diverse professions, the law school has not received the acknowledgment it is due. Vault surveyed 512 recruiters who identified 25 “underrated” schools, and the NCCU School of Law was ranked at number 14. NCCU and the African American Jazz Caucus are partnering to form the NCCU/ AAJC Jazz Research Institute (NAJRI) in an effort to preserve the integrity of jazz as an African American art form. One of the functions of the Institute will be to address the critical artistic and economic situation of jazz in the African American community as well as develop other initiatives such as a North Carolina Hall of Fame dedicated to highlighting the work of jazz artists from North Carolina. In an effort to bring more study abroad options to students, NCCU has been accepted as a member of the International Student Exchange Program (ISEP), a nonprofit membership organization that provides affordable and diverse study abroad and exchange opportunities to students around the world. NCCU is only one of four historically black college or university in the ISEP network. ISEP membership makes it possible for NCCU students to study abroad at over 135 different universities in 39 countries. NCCU is the first historically black institution in the nation to have an athletic training education program accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs. Built upon the motto of Truth and Service, NCCU is a university committed to preparing and equipping students with the knowledge and skills to compete in the global marketplace. www.NCCUEaglePride.com

ATHLETICS DEPARTMENT North Carolina Central University is competing in its second year of reclassification as an NCAA Division I institution (Football Championship Subdivision), and the Eagles will be playing as an independent during the 2009-10 athletics campaign. Fourteen men’s and women’s sports teams participate in National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) competition at the Division I-FCS level. Men’s intercollegiate teams include football, basketball, baseball, indoor and outdoor track & field, tennis, golf and cross country. Women’s intercollegiate teams include basketball, volleyball, indoor and outdoor track & field, tennis, softball, bowling and cross country. NCCU’s athletic programs have enjoyed regional and national recognition for years, headlined by the 1989 NCAA Division II Men’s Basketball National Championship. NCCU’s commitment to a balanced athletic program, providing equitable resources to all of its sports teams, is abundantly apparent. In five of the last eight

years in the Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association (CIAA), NCCU claimed the Loretta Taylor AllSports Trophy, recognizing the top all-around women’s program in the conference. In 2007-08, NCCU’s first season of Division I (FCS) competition, the women’s volleyball team kicked off the Division I era with a dramatic, come-from-behind win over N.C. State, then cruised to 21 victories, all against Division I opponents. The football team finished its first Division I season with a 6-4 record, the Eagles fourth straight winning season. The men’s and women’s cross country teams each won four of their seven events. The men’s basketball team played one of the toughest schedules in the country, while traveling more than 22,000 miles and playing in 13 different states. The squad earned a road victory over the eventual Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC) champions and capped the season with a win over rival Winston-Salem State University at the MEAC Tournament. Finally, the track and field program won two events at the prestigious Penn Relays and qualified two student-athletes for the USA Indoor Track and Field Championships in Boston. In 2006-07, NCCU’s final season in the NCAA Division II, the Eagles placed 24th in the final standings of the U.S. Sports Academy Directors’ Cup, the prestigious award presented annually to the best overall collegiate athletics programs in the country. In 2006-07, NCCU won four CIAA team championships and participated in nine NCAA Division II Championship events. Several former student-

ATHLETICS DIRECTOR

Ingrid Wicker-McCree Director of Athletics

Ingrid Wicker-McCree, Ed.D. was appointed as the Director of Athletics at North Carolina Central University on April 23, 2008, after holding the interim position for five months. She officially began her new leadership role on May 1, 2008. Wicker-McCree,who joined the rank of only a handful of women athletic directors in the UNC system, previously served as NCCU’s associate athletics director for internal affairs. She has served in a variety of leadership positions in both conference and national level organizations, most notably as president of the Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association (CIAA) Executive Board from 2004-06, becoming only the second woman to ever hold that position in the league’s history. In addition, she served as a member of the NCAA’s Division II Legislation Committee from 2003-07. In recognition of her work, Wicker-McCree received the CIAA Leadership Award for Service as president of the Executive Board and was named the CIAA Senior Woman Administrator of the Year in the spring of 2006. Now in her 15th year at NCCU, Wicker-McCree has been one of the driving forces behind NCCU’s reclassification to NCAA Division I. Since 1998, she has overseen the internal operations of the Athletics Department, including all compliance and eligibility programs. Her impact on this university's athletic department has been immense. It has been her strong leadership skills that have enabled NCCU to make the trek to Division I a successful one thus far. With her steadfast and forward thinking she has increased the number of staff members two-fold while merging and creating a brand-new fund raising arm for the Athletic department, The Eagle Club. Not to mention the nearly one million dollars worth of upgrades to O'Kelly Riddick Stadium with the brand-new Mondoturf playing surface and the newlyinstalled videoscoreboard called, "Eaglevision". Those are just a few of the changes and additions that she has set in motion during her time, and those will certainly go a long way into planting the seeds of her legacy. Wicker-McCree began her career at NCCU as the head coach for women’s volleyball and softball. She became the first coach in NCCU history to win conference championships in multiple sports, capturing the school’s first-ever CIAA titles in softball (1998) and volleyball (1999, 2004, 2005). A three-time CIAA Volleyball Coach of the Year (1999, 2002, 2005) and former member of the NCAA Division II National Volleyball Committee, Wicker-McCree earned 239 match victories in 12 seasons as head volleyball coach at NCCU. She was also inducted into the NCCU Athletic Hall of Fame in 2004 as head coach of the 1998 softball team. A native of Durham and graduate of C.E. Jordan High School, Wicker-McCree played on two North Carolina high school state volleyball championship teams, while also lettering in basketball and track and field. She continued her volleyball playing career as a student-athlete at George Washington University. Wicker-McCree earned her undergraduate degree in criminal justice from George Washington University in 1989, and a master’s degree in recreation resources administration

“Winning” for the Eagles is more than outscoring the opponent, it is excelling in the classroom, actively participating in community service projects and adhering to NCAA rules regarding recruitment and admission of studentathletes. How can you help the Eagles win?

Follow the NCAA rules The NCAA defines an institution as the University, its employees, its

106

student-athletes, and its representatives of athletics interests, including parents alumnus/and fans. Therefore beware of the following: NCAA BYLAW 13.1.2.1 In Division I, representatives of an institution’s athletics interests are prohibited from making in-person, on- or off-campus recruiting contacts, including written and/or telephonic communications with a prospect or the prospect’s relatives or legal guardians.

www.NCCUEaglePride.com

A prospect is defined as any student who has started classes for the ninth grade, whether the student participates in athletics is not relevant to the classification as a prospect and neither is gender. NCAA BYLAW 16.02.3 An extra benefit is any special arrangement by an institutional employee or a representative of the institution’s athletics interests to provide a student-athlete or the student-athlete’s relative or friend a benefit not expressly authorized by NCAA legislation. Unless you are willing to give a benefit to all 8,000 students at NCCU, don’t give it to a studentathlete or a prospect.

MID-EASTERN ATHLETIC CONFERENCE HISTORY MID-EASTERN ATHLETIC CONFERENCE HISTORY was named commissioner and has served in the position for nine years. The conference’s first expansion occurred in October 1979 when Bethune-Cookman College and Florida A&M University were voted into the MEAC as new members. Original members Morgan State, North Carolina Central and Maryland Eastern Shore withdrew from the conference at the end of the 1979-80 fiscal year. Maryland Eastern Shore was readmitted in 1981 and Morgan State returned in 1984. Florida A&M opted to resign in 1984 but rejoined the conference in 1986. Coppin State College was granted admittance in 1985, becoming the ninth member institution.

The Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC) begins its 42nd year of intercollegiate competition heading into the 2011-12 academic school year. Located in Norfolk, Va., the MEAC is made up of 13 outstanding historically black institutions across the Atlantic coastline: Bethune-Cookman University, Coppin State University, Delaware State University, Florida A&M University, Hampton University, Howard University, University of Maryland Eastern Shore, Morgan State University, Norfolk State University, North Carolina A&T State University, North Carolina Central University, Savannah State University and South Carolina State University. The MEAC sponsors 15 Division I (FCS) sports with automatic qualifying bids for NCAA postseason competition in baseball, bowling, men’s and women’s basketball, men’s and women’s cross country, football, men’s and women’s tennis, men’s and women’s track and field, softball, and volleyball. MEAC student-athletes excel on and off the field and several have been recognized on ESPN The Magazine/CoSIDA Academic All-America and All-District teams. The MEAC awards two post-graduate scholarships of $5,000 each annually to one male and one female student-athlete who have excelled academically and athletically and are in their final season of intercollegiate athletics eligibility and competition under MEAC and NCAA regulations.

HISTORY In 1969, a bold ad hoc group of innovators long associated with intercollegiate athletics met in Durham, N.C., to discuss the feasibility of organizing a new conference. From these discussions, they formed a steering and planning committee to fully investigate the idea, present a detailed report with recommendations to interested collegiate institutions and construct a workshop to outline proposals. After selecting a proposal and adopting a program, seven institutions (Delaware State College, Howard University, University of Maryland Eastern Shore, Morgan State University, North Carolina A&T State University, North Carolina Central University and South Carolina State College) agreed to become the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference. Their major objective was to establish, organize and supervise an intercollegiate athletic program among a compact group of educational institutions of high academic standards with a sound philosophy of co-curricular activities. The conference agreed to seek Division I status for its sports. The conference was confirmed in 1970, kicking off its first season of competition in football in 1971. In 1978, the MEAC reached a milestone when it selected Kenneth A. Free to be its first full-time commissioner. Free served the conference for 18 years before stepping down in May of 1996.
