2009-10 Season Preview

The 2009-10 season will truly be an historic one for the Tennessee Tech women’s basketball team as the new-look Golden Eagles seek to rebuild the program following three consecutive seasons with a losing record. In an effort to regain supremacy both in the Ohio Valley Conference and on the national stage, Tech has brought in a new coaching staff and seven first-year players.

“I’m very excited about this opportunity. We’ll have to work hard, go in and prove ourselves,” Messer said. “We don’t have a lot of respect, and I like that. I like being the underdog.” Joining Messer on the coaching staff will be first-year assistants Dee Bell, Bett Shelby and Coretta Brown. Bell has eight 2009-10 Sophomores

Head coach Sytia Messer was introduced as the new face of the women’s basketball program in August, and she will enter her first season as a collegiate head coach following assistant coaching stints at Arkansas State and Memphis. Messer spent the last five seasons at Georgia Tech where she moved into the position of associate head coach. A Waldo, Ark., native, Messer brings with her a blue-collar attitude that she hopes to instill in her team. “I want people to leave our games saying how hard we played,” Messer said. “This will be a disciplined team, and I want my players to always leave the game with their jerseys wet from sweat.” Messer will have her work cut out for her as she attempts to mesh her seven newcomers with four returnees from last year’s team that finished with a 9-21 overall record and 7-11 mark in the OVC. Furthermore, in the OVC preseason poll, Tech was picked to finish eighth in the conference this season. However, Messer is looking forward to the challenges that lie ahead and does not mind being picked toward the bottom of the pack. 2009-10 Staff

years of head coaching experience under his belt, while Shelby was most recently an assistant coach and recruiting coordinator at Stetson. Brown played four seasons in the WNBA and was a coordinator at Georgia Tech for two seasons prior to arriving at Tech. “I think I have one of the best staffs in America,” Messer said. “I’m excited about having coach Bell here, especially because of all of his experience as a head coach. There are a lot of things that he can foresee because he’s been in my position, which is helpful.” The Golden Eagle coaching staff will have to prepare for a very challenging schedule, especially early in the season when Tech will take on opponents from the Big 12, Southeastern Conference and Big East. Messer’s Golden Eagles will start the season against Alabama at the Texas A&M Corpus Christi Tournament before taking on national powerhouses Baylor and Louisville later in November. “I still haven’t exhaled over my schedule yet,” Messer said. “I’m excited about it because it’s going to test us early. It’s definitely going to prepare us for the OVC.”

TENNESSEE TECH WOMEN’S BASKETBALL MEDIA GUIDE F 2009-10

2009-10 Season Preview Tech begins OVC play on December 5 at Jacksonville State and will have to wait until January 2 for its first conference home contest against Southeast Missouri. The Golden Eagles will wrap up the regular season at home on February 27 against Jacksonville State, three days before the opening round of the OVC Tournament. The Golden Eagles will look to utilize their versatility at the guard position and athleticism in the post in hopes of creating mismatches for opposing teams in 2009-10. Tech plans to get up and down the floor quickly to create easy baskets on offense and play attacking, suffocating defense in order to create turnovers. Tech’s young squad will have to grow up fast as the Golden Eagles will look to sophomores Tacarra Hayes and Krystal Stirrup to lead the team. Hayes averaged 6.7 points per game in OVC play last season and showed how explosive she can be offensively with a 20-point game against Austin Peay. Forced to play out of position for much of the season last year, Hayes will be able to play in the backcourt this season where she will be able to best utilize her skill set. “Tacarra will run through a brick wall for you. She was playing a little out of position toward the end of last year, but she can get away with it because she plays so hard,” Messer said. “She’s one of the quickest players getting to the basket off of the dribble that I’ve seen. She is definitely going to be an offensive threat for us.” Stirrup was a steady contributor off the Golden Eagle bench as a freshman, but she will likely see an expanded role for Tech in 2009-10. An athletic 6-foot forward, Stirrup averaged 2009-10 Freshmen

5.8 points per game last season while pulling in 4.0 rebounds per contest. The sophomore has the ability to create mismatches for opponents because of her height and athleticism. “Krystal is a versatile player, and we’ll be able to utilize her in many different situations,” Messer said. “She has displayed a great deal of leadership by example.” Sophomores Simone Rutledge and Rachel Glidden will be back for their second seasons with the Golden Eagles as well. Rutledge earned co-Most Improved Player honors on the team last season, while Glidden proved to be a threat from behind the 3-point arc for Tech. Messer will certainly look for contributions out of her freshman class this season, and she is confident that they will be able to step in and make a difference right away. This preseason, she has been impressed with the work ethic she has seen from her newcomers. “Our freshmen have done a tremendous job in terms of their leadership both on and off the court,” Messer said. “It’s exciting to know that I’ll have them for four years. They work hard and have bought into my system from day one.” Entering the season as the seventh winningest program in NCAA history, the women’s basketball team and head coach Sytia Messer hope the phrase “The more things change, the more they stay the same” applies to the Golden Eagle 2009-10 season as it looks for the 35th winning season in the program’s history.

First Season Arkansas (2000)

2008-09...........Associate Head Coach Georgia Tech 2009-present.............. Head Coach Tennessee Tech A new era in the tradition-rich history of Tennessee Tech women’s basketball began in August with the naming of Sytia Messer as the new Golden Eagle head coach. Messer came to Tennessee Tech from Georgia Tech where she was associate head coach. A native of tiny Waldo in the Northwest corner of Arkansas, Messer was the youngest of eight children and grew to become a standout player at the University of Arkansas and an assistant coach at Arkansas State and the University of Memphis, before spending the past five years on the staff at Georgia Tech. TTU Director of Athletics Mark Wilson introduced Messer to a large crowd at a press conference in the Eagles Nest, the final step in a nationwide search by the Athletics administration. “We had to find the very best educator,” Wilson said. “We had to find the very best coach. We had to find the very best person to lead

our student-athletes, and to restore the tradition of Tennessee Tech Golden Eagle women’s basketball.” Messer completed her fifth season on the Yellow Jacket women’s basketball staff and first as the team’s associate head coach. At Georgia Tech, she worked with the post players and guards. Serving as the team’s recruiting coordinator the past five seasons, Messer’s classes at Georgia Tech have all ranked in the top-25 in the nation. The 2008-09 class, which was ranked as high as sixth by AllStar Girls Report, was one of the best in the nation and it included three star athletes from the state of Georgia. The 2007-08 class was considered one of the best recruiting classes in school history. The Yellow Jackets inked the highest-ranked player ever to sign with the program, while the freshman class included three Street & Smith honorable mention All-Americans. “Young ladies will come to Tennessee Tech as young ladies but will leave as women,” Messer states. “Each player’s experiences are different. I believe in helping young ladies become women by instilling in each player a commitment to academics, family, community service and a winning attitude.” Prior to joining the Yellow Jacket program, Messer served as an assistant coach at Memphis, working with the perimeter players and team rebounding while serving as the primary recruiter of junior college players. During her two-year tenure at Memphis, the Tigers posted a 34-25 overall record and were 15-13 in Conference USA play. The 2004 Memphis team earned a bid to the WNIT, where they advanced to the second round before falling to quarterfinalist Western Kentucky. Messer was instrumental in the development of Victoria Crawford, the 2004 Conference USA Sixth Man of the Year.

As a player, Messer was a member of the Arkansas Razorbacks teams that advanced to the Final Four in 1998 and earned the 1999 WNIT Championship. She finished her career ranked seventh on the Lady Razorbacks’ all-time scoring list with 1,379 points. She was also 10th in career rebounding with 603, sixth in free throws made with 329 and fourth with 112 career three-pointers. A team captain in both her junior and senior seasons, Messer held the record for consecutive games and most games played at Arkansas with 128.

Messer’s Resumé

Messer led her 1998 Razorback team to a 22-11 record and an appearance in the NCAA Tournament, where she was named the MVP of the West Regional and where the team eventually lost to national champion Tennessee in the Final Four. The previous season, she had helped her Arkansas team to its first victory over the Volunteers in the history of the program by holding 1997 and 1998 NCAA Tournament MVP Chamique Holdsclaw to a career-low five points in Fayetteville. Messer then led her team to the 1999 WNIT Championship and earned All-Tournament team honors during her senior campaign.

2008-09 Season In Review

The 2008-09 Golden Eagles faced a tough schedule early on, playing five of their first seven contests on the road with games against Louisville, Drake, Georgia Tech and Georgia – which sent the team to a 1-6 record to begin the season. Tech returned to the Eblen Center and knocked off Jacksonville State and Evansville to move to three games below .500, but a loss to Southern Illinois in TTU’s next game began a stretch where the team dropped 12 of its next 13 games to move to 4-18. Undaunted, the Golden Eagles came together late in the season to make a push for the OVC playoffs. Tech defeated Eastern Kentucky and Morehead State in back-to-back games, starting a run in which the team won five of its last seven games to guarantee a spot in the OVC tournament. In the team’s final regular season game of the year, the Golden Eagles traveled to Jacksonville State and convincingly beat the Gamecocks, 78-46, to secure the program’s 800th victory and gain some momentum going into the postseason.

After finishing the regular season with a 7-11 mark in conference play, Tennessee Tech earned the No. 7 spot in the OVC tournament and had to travel to No. 2 Eastern Illinois in the first round. Down by as many as 16 points in the game and 14 in the second half, the Golden Eagles waged a comeback with full-court pressure that forced EIU into 20 turnovers and pulled Tech to within a single point. However, Tech could not gain the lead as the Panthers pulled away and escaped with a 71-65 win to end TTU’s season. Senior Blair Bowens capped off her fouryear career by earning second-team All-OVC honors in recognition of an outstanding season. Bowens led Tech and ranked eighth in the OVC in scoring, averaging 15.2 points per game. She raised that to 16.6 points per game against conference opponents. Bowens ranked 12th in the OVC in free throw percentage, and she was also second on the team and 11th in the OVC in steals. The 5-foot-6 guard was third on the team in assists, and also chipped in 3.9 rebounds per game. She also averaged a team-high 34.5 minutes per contest, which ranked fourth in the OVC. A Tuscumbia, Ala., native, Bowens finished the season first in the OVC in 3-point percentage, connecting on 40.4 percent from long range. She bumped that to 44.5 percent against the league. The sharpshooter finished the season second in the OVC in 3-pointers made per game. At the team’s annual awards dinner, Bowens added some awards to her collection as she was named Most

Valuable Player and also won the Frank Porter Award and Foul Shooting Award. Teammate Meagan Lyons, a senior from Greeneville, Tenn., accepted the John P. Hendrix Leadership Award after ranking second on the team in scoring and 11th in the OVC with 10.3 points per game. She also ranked fifth in the league in steals and was among OVC leaders in field goal percentage and assists. Allison Price, a senior point guard from Atlanta, won the Best Defensive Player Award for the second consecutive year. She ranked fourth in the OVC in assists and eighth in assist-to-turnover ratio. Vivian Nwosu and Simone Rutledge shared the Most Improved Player Award, each in their first season on the floor for the Golden Eagles. Nwosu, a junior from San Antonio, began her career last season after sitting out one year following a transfer. Rutledge is a freshman from Decatur, Ga. The Academic Award, presented by Assistant Athletic Director Lance Jasitt, went to senior Rachel Whittle, a senior biology major from Hubbard, Texas, who posted a 3.51 GPA during her final season. A two-year member of the team, Whittle was hampered by injuries and limited to just seven games in 2008-09. Bowens, Price and Lyons each left their mark on the TTU record book following their four-year careers. Lyons and Bowens rank 21st and 22nd in career scoring at Tech after both players surpassed the 1,000 points scored milestone, while Price and Lyons also rank 21st and 22nd in career assists with 292 and 283, respectively. In addition, Lyons finished her career with the fourth most steals in Tech history, averaging 1.9 thefts per contest.

The Ohio Valley Conference

Entering its 62nd year, the Ohio Valley Conference continues to build on the success that has made it the nation’s eighth-oldest NCAA Division I conference. For only the second time in a decade, the Conference expanded by adding Southern Illinois University Edwardsville as the league’s 11th member in 2008. The move expanded the OVC’s geographical footprint to the St. Louis market and marked the first change in membership since expanding to the state of Alabama (Jacksonville State, Samford) in 2003. For the 2009-10 school year the league will see a change in leadership as the seventh Commissioner in league history, Beth DeBauch, was named in late July. The last three commissioners of the league have moved onto jobs as the commissioner of the Big Ten, Big 12 and the Mid-American Conferences. The OVC’s proud past dates back to 1948, but seeds for the new league were actually planted in 1941. It was then that Roy Stewart, the athletics director at Murray State, Charles (Turkey) Hughes, the athletics director at Eastern Kentucky, and Kelly Thompson, the public relations director at Western Kentucky, first broached the idea of forming a new conference. Discussions were put on hold by World War II, but reemerged Feb. 27-28, 1948 at the Kentucky Hotel in Louisville as the three original institutions combined with Morehead State, Louisville and Evansville to form the OVC. In the 1950s, the OVC became a pioneer on a much more significant scale socially. During times of racial segregation, league member Morehead State became one of the first non-traditionally black midsouthern institutions to accept a black student. In 1958, Marshall Banks earned athletically-related aid at Morehead, which signed a second black athlete, Howard Murphy, a year later. In 1961, Murphy earned all-conference recognition as a halfback in football. With racial barriers broken, the rest of the institutions in the league began to provide educational and athletic opportunities to African-Americans. The playing field is not the only place where OVC athletes are working hard. The league also recognizes excellence in the classroom. Six Scholar-Athlete Awards are presented yearly 44

to male and female athletes, while others are commended for their academic success by being Medal of Honor recipients or earning a spot on the Commissioner’s Honor Roll. Additionally, the league annually presents one institutional Academic Achievement Award, as well as separate team awards in each Conference-sponsored sport. Since the College Sports Information Directors of American (CoSIDA) Academic All-America program began, the Ohio Valley Conference has had 179 student-athletes honored with the award, including 25 over the last three years (200607 to the present). Through the early years of the league, administrators wrestled with fan behavior due to the close proximity of the Conference members and the intense rivalries which developed. Just as it did decades ago, the OVC took the leadership role on what has become a national issue. In 1995, the OVC implemented a first-of-its-kind “Sportsmanship Statement,” a policy which promotes principles of fair play, ethical conduct and respect for one’s opponent. The statement has become a model for others to follow across the nation, and has answered the challenge of the NCAA Presidents Commission to improve

sportsmanship in collegiate athletics. Additionally, the OVC annually presents the Steve Hamilton Sportsmanship Award, in honor of the former Morehead State student-athlete, coach and athletics director, to a junior or senior studentathlete with significant athletic contributions who best exemplifies the characteristics of sportsmanship and citizenship. Most recently, the Conference has also implemented the OVC Institutional and Team Sportsmanship Awards, which are presented to one institution and 18 sport-specific teams voted by their peers to have best exhibited the standards of sportsmanship and ethical conduct as outlined by the OVC and NCAA. The vision of leadership demonstrated by the Founding Fathers in 1948 remains alive today as the Ohio Valley Conference prepares for the future. One example is in regard to the current trend in collegiate athletics administration for increased involvement of university presidents in setting policies and making rules. The presidents of OVC institutions, however, have always governed the Conference, long before presidential governance became a national theme. The Ohio Valley Conference sponsors the following sports: baseball, basketball, cross country, football, golf, tennis and track for men, and basketball, cross country, golf, soccer, softball, tennis, track and volleyball for women. In addition, the OVC also sponsors the combined men’s and women’s sport of rifle. Now in its seventh decade of competition, the Ohio Valley Conference has grown significantly from its humble beginnings while increasing the number of athletics opportunities it provides for students. Current league representatives include charter members Eastern Kentucky University, Morehead State University and Murray State University, along with Austin Peay State University, Eastern Illinois University, Jacksonville State University, Southeast Missouri State University, Southern Illinois University Edwardsville, Tennessee State University, Tennessee Technological University and the University of Tennessee at Martin.

Athletic Administration

DR. ROBERT (BOB) BELL University President - Florida 1969 Dr. Robert (Bob) Bell, now in his 10th year as President of Tennessee Tech, is an avid supporter of TTU and Ohio Valley Conference sports. He currently chairs the OVC President’s Board of Directors. Bell became TTU’s President in 2000 after serving as dean, associate dean, assistant dean, and a chairperson in the university’s College of Business. After taking the post, he oversaw the reorganization of the athletics department, bringing in a full-time athletics director for the first time in almost 20 years. He has also been involved in statewide economic development on behalf of the Tennessee Higher Education Commission, working on the THEC master plan focusing on links among higher education and stakeholders in business, health care and state government. Bell has served four terms on the Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award’s Board of Examiners and was appointed a charter member of the Tennessee Center for Performance Excellence in 1992, serving on the group’s panel of judges from 1994 to 2005. He represented Tennessee as a state delegate to the White House Conference on North American Free Trade Agreement in 1994 and spent two years as an economic development consultant for the nation of Mauritius.

Dr. Bell has served on or chaired a variety of professional, regional and national organizations, including the American Association of Collegiate Schools of Business International, the Southern Business Association, the North American Case Research Association, the Tennessee College Association, and a number of Tennessee higher education task forces, among others. In 2005, Bell was named the first recipient of the Ned R. McWherter Leadership Award, presented by the Tennessee Center for Performance Excellence. In the scholarly arena, he has been published extensively in the fields of management, organizational design, computer science and quality/productivity management, authoring two books and more than 70 articles, case studies and papers. Bell is also well known and respected in the Cookeville community. He has chaired the Cookeville-Area Putnam County Chamber of Commerce’s board of directors, the Regional Quality Council and the Putnam Tomorrow Task Force for the Putnam County Commission. A past president of the local YMCA, Bell currently chairs the Cookeville Industrial Development Board and is a member of the Board of Directors for CityScape and Blood Assurance Corp. He has been an adult leader in the Boy Scouts of America since 1988 and serves on the executive board for the Middle Tennessee Council of BSA. He is also a member of the Cookeville Rotary and Evening Lions Clubs.

MARK WILSON Director of Athletics - Maine 1991 Mark Wilson’s first five years as Director of Athletics at Tennessee Tech have been highlighted by vision, energy, and enthusiasm. Those factors have facilitated growth and excellence in all areas and have placed the focus on generating a better student-athlete experience. In 2007, Wilson received a fiveyear contract extension to keep him at the helm of the Golden Eagle athletic programs through 2012. Wilson was recently appointed to a position on the NCAA Leadership Council through April, 2011. It will give the Ohio Valley Conference, TTU and Wilson a voice in a variety of strategic decisions that can affect intercollegiate athletics. Wilson, 40, has led Athletics to several milestone accomplishments during his first four years, including enhanced facilities and fund raising, high profile staff additions, and compliance and academic success. Under Wilson’s guidance, the program has continued to focus on the academic success of its student-athletes, with soaring numbers each semester on the Athletic Director’s Honor Roll. Tech’s studentathletes have achieved their highest overall combined semester GPAs. Wilson also developed a strategic plan for Tech’s athletic facilities and has already seen some of those plans become reality. During the past two years, Tech has completed several construction projects to athletic facilities, including resurfacing the outdoor tennis courts, a new natural grass practice field, installation of new turf in Tucker Stadium, renovating the running track, renovating the football offices, meeting rooms

and locker rooms, new lights at Tucker Stadium and installation of electronic targets in the rifle range. Most recently, Athletics opened a spacious, new basketball office complex in Eblen Center. Additional building plans call for a new strength and conditioning facility and a student-athlete center. Another step achieved under Wilson’s direction has been increased fund raising and development efforts with the goal of providing the necessary resources for Tech’s student-athletes, coaches and staff. All of those accomplishments have come while the department has continued to stay focused on compliance with all NCAA rules and regulations. Wilson was named Director of Athletics on July 1, 2004. He came to Tennessee Tech from Ohio University. Since his first day at Tech, Wilson has made rapid and steady progress. He began by restructuring the department and implemented plans for a better student-athlete experience. In addition, athletics launched a dynamic new website, gained NCAA certification and was found in complete compliance, created a far-reaching “WIN” program for academic success, opened an entertaining and popular Tailgate Park, and started plans for two capital projects. Before going to Ohio, Mark served as the Director of Athletic Marketing for the University of Massachusetts. He also worked as a graduate assistant in the UMass athletic department and interned with the Northwestern University ticketing and marketing departments. Wilson received his bachelor’s degree in 1991 from the University of Maine in physical education and health, and earned his master’s in sports management from the University of Massachusetts in 1994. Mark and his wife, Michelle, have two daughters, Katey (14) and Meaghan (9).

Academic Support

Winning in the Classroom Tennessee Tech’s commitment to its student-athletes is evident. The support personnel and resources available provide Golden Eagle student-athletes with the tools needed for success. The success of Tennessee Tech University’s athletic teams is tied closely to the academic progress of each student-athlete, and the academic performance of each Tech student-athlete is closely monitored by the coaching staff as well as an experienced staff in Academic Services. Tech’s student-athletes continue to excel in the classroom. Each semester, the Athletic Director’s Honor Roll pays tribute to more than 150 students in athletics, including athletes, trainers, managers and cheerleaders, and the overall GPA of the department has climbed steeply in the past six semesters. Student-athletes are the most visible component of a university, entertaining thousands of fans, students, alumni, family and friends. Their athletic abilities and achievements are a focus for national attention, as athletic events not only bring back faithful alumni, but serve as a welcome mat to the university for potential new stu- Marilyn Borch-Jensen dents. Academic Student-athletes devote many hours to practice, conditioning and training in an effort to be the best they Advisement can be. These hours are not required by non-athletes in the student body, and these extra demands can compete Secretary with academics for the student-athlete’s time and energy. The Tech Athletics Department works to provide help with course content (through tutors and monitored study hours) as well as with time management and study skills and any other academic support services that will allow Tech student-athletes to maximize their academic potential.

ESPN The Magazine/ CoSIDA Academic All-America Tennessee Tech University student-athletes have achieved Academic All-America honors 33 times since 1976.

Academic All-America

Dr. LANCE JASITT Assistant Athletics Director / Academics and Student Welfare

Dr. Lance Jasitt serves as Assistant Athletics Director for Academics and Student Welfare. He has served in compliance and administrative operations roles in the Tech Athletics Department since 1998. Dr. Jasitt plays a key role in the academic success of each of Tech’s varsity student-athletes, managers, and graduate assistants. His primary goals are to provide guidance and academic resources to permit student-athletes to maintain their academic eligibility under NCAA rules and to progress to graduation. In this process, Dr. Jasitt serves as a primary liaison between coaches and faculty. A detail-oriented person and a diligent worker, Dr. Jasitt has developed a solid understanding of the operations of the Athletics Department, the staff and the needs of its student-athletes. In addition to his administrative role within Athletics, Dr. Jasitt is also highly involved in promoting reading and literacy at all age levels. He was the 2008-09 president of the TTU Council of the International Reading Association and is still actively involved in that organization. He also has served on the President’s Commission on the Status of Women for seven years. Raised in York, Pa., he earned a bachelor’s degree from Penn State University in 1978 and added a master’s in public administration from Valdosta State University in 1987. In 1993, he received a master’s degree in education from Old Dominion University and added a Ph.D. in literacy education from Tennessee Tech in 2004. Dr. Jasitt is a former Commander in the U.S. Navy. His wife of 29 years, Donna White Jasitt, is a former Captain in the U.S. Navy Reserve. They have two children, Ian and Meagan. Ian is pursuing a second degree in Environmental Geology at Tennessee Tech and plans to graduate in May 2010. Meagan is a junior Pre-Physical Therapy major at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga.

Former volleyball standout Laura Sidorowicz was named Tech’s 2005 NCAA Woman of the Year. She graduated with a 3.911 grade point average.

The “WIN” program: Work Intensely Now The WIN Program was implemented in the fall semester of 2004 to provide additional support for freshmen and student-athletes whose general academic progress places them at risk for maintaining eligibility and graduating. The program involves the student-athlete, coach(es), academic advisor, tutors, and others to build academic skills for success. Participation in the program is primarily based on grades, and coaches or the academic advisor may recommend additional participation at any time. All incoming freshmen meet at least one time per week with their coach to discuss academic progress and needs as well as time management and study skill techniques. Other aspects of the program include monitored study hours, tutoring, and study skills workshops.

Strength and Conditioning

Emphasizing Player DEVELOPMENT The Tennessee Tech strength and conditioning program is a blend of science, technology, nutrition and one-on-one attention to each athlete. Golden Eagle student-athletes make a year-round commitment to physically preparing to play their sport at the highest level. At TTU, a program is tailored to match each student-athlete’s individual needs with the sport-specific physical demands. This includes strength, speed, power, agility, flexibility, metabolic conditioning and motivation. This combination allows Tennessee Tech’s student-athletes to better reach their specific goals. Another major focus of the strength staff is the development of sport-specific speed, agility and conditioning.

CHIP PUGH Head Strength and Conditioning Coach

Chip Pugh is in his fourth year as Tennessee Tech’s strength and conditioning head coach. He oversees the physical development of student-athletes in all 16 sports, providing support in building toward championships. Pugh served three years in the same position at Winthrop University where he created and developed a highly successful strength and conditioning program that helped win 12 conference championships. An alumnus of Ohio University, he was an offensive lineman on the football team while earning a bachelor’s degree in sport industry and a master’s degree in physical education. Pugh believes that the qualities that athletes can develop in strength and conditioning will not only aid in their athletic development, but will also help them build quality character components necessary for life. A native of Parkersburg, W. Va., he began his coaching career at his alma mater as an assistant strength and conditioning coach where he primarily worked with men’s and women’s track, men’s and women’s swimming, and women’s soccer. He also assisted coach Ethan Reeve, currently the head strength and conditioning coach at Wake Forest, with football while at Ohio. After leaving Ohio University he became the head strength and conditioning coach for football at Marietta Golden Eagle (Ohio) College, where he also worked as an assistant football coach. Additionally, during his two years at Marietta Strength All-Americans College he also served as a campus minister to the college. under Chip Pugh Pugh is a certified member of the National Strength Awarded by the National Strength and Conditioning Association and the Collegiate Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA) and Conditioning Coaches’ Association.

Construction of new strength center to begin this winter on Tech campus New facility will house weight room, practice space and locker facilities

Victories on the field, court or track often find their beginnings in a place without cheering fans and blaring bands — the strength and conditioning center. And the scope and quality of a team’s strength and conditioning facility loom large during recruiting season, so Tennessee Tech’s Department of Intercollegiate Athletics has plans to build a new facility to capture the attention of recruits and enhance the training of Tech’s student-athletes. “Building this strength and conditioning center is the most important thing we can do to properly train Tennessee Tech’s student-athletes and compete for recruits,” said Mark Wilson, director of athletics. “All our OVC peers and many high schools have nice, big strength centers that allow student-athletes to train efficiently and to be bigger, faster and stronger. Today’s student-athletes expect a certain standard of facilities and equipment in a Division I athletics program.”

The need for a new facility is punctuated by the fact that Head Strength and Conditioning Coach Chip Pugh currently runs three shifts of workouts a day just to accommodate all the football student-athletes in the current 2,500 square foot facility. Shifts are also scheduled for student-athletes on Tech’s other 15 teams. Additionally, it is prohibitive for safety reasons to perform heavy lifts like the power clean in a facility located on a third floor instead of a ground floor facility. “This project is the number one priority in the athletics department,” said Wilson. “We’ve done all we can do in the existing space to make it work for our athletes.” At an estimated cost of $2 million, the proposed strength and conditioning center will feature approximately 21,000 square feet of space and state-of-the-art equipment. The building will house 8,000 square feet of weight room space, 9,000 square feet of indoor practice space, and 4,000 square feet of support/locker room space. The new building will be located west of the softball complex close to Pine Ave. This location allows for access to the newly built outdoor strength and conditioning area that includes an obstacle course, speed training sand pit, as well as a natural grass practice surface. “We need this facility to put the tools in place to help make our teams successful,” he said. “And once we get the student-athletes here, they’ll have a greater opportunity for competitive success by becoming better athletes.” Tech is scheduled to begin construction on the new Strength Center this winter.

This Is Tennessee Tech u One of the “Top Southern Public Universities” by U.S. News & World Report u One of the “Best Southeastern Universities” and “America’s Best College Values” by The Princeton Review u Among “America’s 100 Best College Buys” by Institutional Research and Evaluations, Inc. Where Quality Counts

For more than 90 years, Tennessee Tech has served the various needs of the region, the state and beyond. Not only is Tech renowned as a fine institution of higher education, it also serves as a public resource center and encourages scholarly research and creative activity by its faculty and students. Today, Tech makes a number of contributions to economic development locally, regionally and nationally. Tech’s 65,000-plus alumni occupy positions of leadership in education, business, industry, government and public service. Tennessee Tech is widely known as an institution noted for its academic quality — an institution where the energies of the faculty, staff and students are devoted to ensuring that the university’s quality is maintained and enhanced. The university’s vision is guided by the “T.E.C.H.” framework — technological leadership, enrollment growth, a caring campus, and high quality. The university is divided into seven academic divisions offering 44 programs of study leading to the bachelor’s degree and 20 programs of study at the graduate level. More than 75 percent of the 370 full-time faculty members hold doctoral degrees. Considered one of the most picturesque campuses in the South — and one of the safest — the buildings carry an attractive Georgian style of architecture that lends the Tech campus an Ivy-league character. Tech was established in 1915 as Tennessee Polytechnic Institute, located on the site of its forerunner, Dixie College. TPI gained university

Why we're the Golden Eagles

status in 1965, reflecting the institution’s role as a multipurpose, state-supported university. Tech’s current enrollment continues to include students from almost all 95 Tennessee counties, along with students from more than 40 other states and about 40 foreign countries.

Campus Life

Tennessee Tech students know that there is a lot more to college life than what goes on in the classroom. Nearly 200 student organizations on campus offer activities ranging from academic, athletic, cultural, political, community-oriented, social to spiritual. At Tech, it’s easy to get involved and make friends. Campus recreation coordinates 11 intramural and club sports: basketball, bowling, flag football, golf, racquetball, rugby, soccer, softball, tennis, volleyball and wrestling. The Fitness Center is a free, full-service health club for students. It houses a fully equipped weight room, 25-meter indoor pool, cardiovascular equipment and an indoor track. Tech is also a center for the arts, presenting concerts, theatre productions, lectures, dance performances, films, workshops, demonstrations and art exhibits each year. And, of course there’s always an athletics event to attend. Tennessee Tech’s athletic teams compete in the Ohio Valley Conference for 16 sports on the NCAA Division I level, and students can attend all regular season athletic events absolutely free!

The Tennessee Tech Athletic Department unveiled a new brand on Aug. 31, 2006, with an all-new set of logos for the Golden Eagles. The brand is new, but the tradition remains — the name Golden Eagles. How did TTU adopt the name? In the first quarter of this century, Tennessee Polytechnic Institute was a tiny school, located in the rugged, mountainous Upper Cumberland region where Golden Eagles were plentiful, soaring above the lush, upland forests. It's easy to understand how those early students and faculty could narrow their choices for their athletic team's nicknames to "Golden Eagles" or "Mountaineers." On February 14, 1925, the nickname "Golden Eagles " was officially adopted. The school newspaper, The Oracle, printed a story that outlined the efforts of a committee to suggest several possible nicknames to Athletic Association members for their consideration. The two most popular names were "Golden Eagles" and "Mountaineers," and the association, by a vote of 139-18, proudly declared its preference. It wasn't until 27 years later that a tangible mascot found its way to the campus. Several Tech

students braved a driving night rainstorm to pilfer a huge block-tin eagle statue from the charred ruins of a resort hotel in Monteagle. They painted the creature - with a wingspan of over six feet - a glistening gold, and suspended it from the rafter for public inspection at the following day's basketball game in Memorial Gym. Then-Governor Frank G. Clement, a lifelong friend of the hotel owner, was in Cookeville to speak . He worked out a compromise between his friend and the school students, who wanted to retain the eagle as their mascot. Over the years, a wide variety of artwork and drawings have been used to represent the Tennessee Tech Golden Eagles. Some of those include a drawing which appeared in media guides in the mid 1970s, and a cartoon-style mascot in the early 1980s that was dubbed ‘the purple chicken” by Tech students.

here's no question Tennessee Tech University is a great place to get an education. And Cookeville is a great college town. The largest micropolitan area in Tennessee and one of the top 40 micropolitan areas in the nation, Cookeville has consistently been rated among the top 10 most affordable regions in the nation. Cookeville boasts a mild climate, with an average temperature of 57 and four distinct seasons. Located within a day's drive of 75 percent of the nation's population, Cookeville is just off Interstate 40, which runs from the east coast to California. City life is easily accessible, as well, because Cookeville is situated within 100 miles of Nashville, Knoxville and Chattanooga — three of Tennessee's major metropolitan areas. The seat of Putnam County, Cookeville is the heart of a three-county alliance known as the Highlands, which centers Tennessee's 14-county Upper Cumberland region. We have hundreds of acres of unspoiled nature — from championship golf courses to natural preserves, state parks and top-rated lakes — close to home.There's plenty of nature inside the city limits, too; the City of Cookeville tends nine parks, including Cane Creek Park, a 262-acre natural area with a 56-acre lake. And while Cookeville is a relatively small town, we have no lack of culture. We are one of the smallest cities in the U.S. with a full-blown symphony orchestra, and our area attracts visual artists and craftspeople from across the nation, thanks to the Appalachian Center for Craft, a satellite campus of TTU. Drama also takes center stage here, with the 456-seat Cookeville Performing Arts Center cranking out productions year-round, including the award-winning Drama Center Backstage series. Cookeville is home to three museums — the Cookeville Depot Museum, the Cookeville History Museum and the Cookeville Children's Museum — and a year-round slate of events, including regular excursion trains and the annual Fall FunFest. A walkable downtown shopping district and an impressive roster of national chain stores give the retail segment a small-town feel with big-city convenience. Add to that our more than 100 restaurants and 1,400 hotel rooms, and you'll quickly see that Cookeville offers something for everyone.
