In Memory of Dan Greene Dan Greene was a member of the St. Mary’s County community and dedicated #1 fan of the St. Mary’s basketball programs. He passed away this past August after a short battle with cancer. The St. Mary’s College of Maryland athletic department in Dan’s honor is bringing together both programs, along with six men’s and women’s programs from around the country to put on this event to remember such a fantastic person. Dan “Geez” Greene loved life, and he loved the sport of basketball just as much. The game never ended for him, even into his 70’s he played tough games at St. Mary’s against players half his age. Playing almost killed him, when he got slammed onto the court floor and suffered a severe hematoma. Against the recommendations of the doctors and his family, he played on, secretly at first, then openly. Dan could be in a rough neighborhood in a strange city, see a good looking game, jump out of the car and ask to play— and as a tribute to the brotherhood of the sport, he never got turned away. Dan played and taught basketball to people on other continents. Places where the game was unheard of at the time, including Kenya, where he lived for two years. But no part of the sport would ever come to mean as much to him as his time at St. Mary’s. This college was his second home. He lived for the programs. Not just the varsity program, but for every player, men’s and women’s, from early scouting, to off-season workouts, and tournaments in cities around the country. Advice was given to the coaches, and whether they wanted it or not, he was always taken seriously. It was here he got his nickname of “Geez”, the self-proclaimed old geezer in the stands, cheering the team, razzing the refs, thrilled with every in, tormented by every loss. Dan was so proud to watch Coach Chris build the program into what it is now. He was a fixture in the program with his coffee cup at pre-dawn warmups, encouraging new players who were having trouble fitting into a new school. Dan became so involved with the St. Mary’s program that he was asked to be an assistant for the women’s squad, however after a couple seasons he stopped, because he thought it was too stressful—then he promptly went and spent the exact same amount of time with the team. He was such a constant presence at St. Mary’s that he became like Norm on “Cheers” such a fixture that returning basketball alumni could return for a reunion years after graduation to find Geez sitting there, a little older, but still the Geez. Dan will be forever missed at St. Mary’s and in the arena, but will never be forgotten.

An Ode to Geezer From the Noon Time Hoops Gang After spending many many years sweating during lunch rather than eating it with our patriarch, most noon time hoopers considered Dan Greene (or Geez as he was affectionately known and used interchangeably here) a close friend. It might seem odd, but you didn’t need to know him well to feel like you did. Always the first to the gym he greeted you as if you were a lifelong friend and to Geez I’m sure we were. For a great many of us though, we knew the comradery stopped and the competitiveness kicked in at tip off. Although, the competitive side of Geez manifested itself in some unusually humorous ways. There were of course the Geez’isms. One might call them an annoying sense of fairness, others might just call them annoying. In sum, they can be expressed in three phrases: excuse me; right behind you; and, he, you or just “hit me.” “Excuse me” was a preparatory statement and used as a warning prior to an attack. It was always followed by strange bump, whack or push. “Right behind you” was also a warning, but usually stated to prevent him from getting bumped, whacked or pushed. Then there was the infamous “hit me” call. It was strange because you never needed to be close to get accused. Clearly, these statements were preplanned and always used to gain a competitive advantage. Much to our dismay, this was usually followed by a great shot from Dan. In a strange way, watching Dan fight through his various illnesses demonstrated his competitive spirit as well. They also provided for some humorous moments. I bet very few of you have been on the court with someone wearing a colonoscopy bag. Most of the noon time hoopers have and all can attest that few fouls were committed during this period. This was a therapy period for Geez and very dark period for the rest of us. (no pun intended) Then there was the “concussion experience.” Of course, we were all very concerned after a basketball related injury and we found out Dan was in the hospital with some blood on the brain. We prayed for his quick recovery and upon returning he informed us of how lucky he was to have given up drinking. Come to find out his doctor suggested this caused his brain to shrink - leaving room for the blood of course. That was a hard to believe. It was even harder to believe how quickly Dan returned to the court. He would come to play in pants explaining that it was a ruse so that Barb wouldn’t know he was actually playing rather than spectating. Some of his illnesses kept him from lacing them up, but he did manage to meet us regardless and while going through Chemotherapy Dan found time to make it to the gym and encourage us along and basically talk trash. It seemed no matter how bad he felt he found the time to make us laugh with some silly joke or comment. Pride is a key component of the competitive spirit and Dan stood head and shoulders above us. You never heard him complain – about a thing, for he loved basketball…..”basketball was everything to him, a place of refuge when in need of comfort and peace, it was the site of the most intense pain and the most intense feelings of joy and satisfaction, it’s a relationship that evolves over a lifetime”, and we all shared with Dan the greatest respect and love for the game. If you’re lucky, you’ll get a chance to meet a person like Dan and to all of us there is certainly a void. We certainly miss those crazy yoga warm downs. But maybe more importantly we miss Dan’s competitive spirit. Whether it was the cancer, numerous surgeries, concussion’s or fighting off blood on the brain he was always there for us – playing hard, making us laugh and demonstrating an unheralded competitive spirit. Every now and then he made shot too. Missing you Geez!
In memory of our friend Dan “Geez” Greene!

We have many loving and special memories of Dan. He was the champion!
The Scarlata Family PORTO TREATMENT CENTER The Carol M Porto Treatment Center memorializes Daniel Greene. For over ten years, he worked with substance abuse patients in our program, coaching, inspiring, teaching and entertaining thousands. He even led groups on Christmas morning for many years or was in his Santa suit. He taught life skills which included codependency, anger management, stress management, spirituality and nutrition. He had to balance his love of the St Mary’s Mens Basketball Team with his schedule at the treatment center, so made sure he found a substitute counselor for the nights when there were games. He will long be remembered by patients and staff. We have one room in the center dedicated to Dan and the décor reflects his many passions, but with a lot of basketball memorabilia. The treatment program in Prince Frederick offers inpatient treatment at three levels, outpatient treatment and treatment for those having a problem with pain pills and heroin.

New Building
St. Mary’s Completes Building Campaign and Names Athletic Stadium Complex “This day is the culmination of many people coming together to accomplish a goal that will aid both the College and the community,” said Dr. Jordan. “We are honored to have the support of the family of Jamie Roberts, whose generosity helped finish our campaign. Thank you to the Governor and Legislature for this tremendous and transformational opportunity. And, thank you to the record-breaking number of donors – students, employees, parents, community members, and our alumni – whose support is a testament to their dedication and commitment to St. Mary’s College of Maryland.”
St. Mary’s College of Maryland broke ground on September 17th, 2016 on its new 4,200-square-foot lighted athletic stadium to be named the Jamie L. Roberts Stadium, with an estimated completion date of 2019. The project will include team rooms, a track, bleachers, press box, restrooms and concessions, situated between synthetic and grass fields on Mattapany Road. Dr. Tuajuanda C. Jordan, president of St. Mary’s College, oversaw the ceremony that included students, staff, members of the community, elected state officials, and the family of Jamie L. Roberts. The Jamie L. Roberts family donated $2.2 million to the College, with a portion of their total donation enabling the College to complete its $2.5 million capital campaign. The Jamie L. Roberts family gift is the single largest gift in the history of the College and made in honor of Jamie L. Roberts, a St. Mary’s College class of 2011 economics major and three-sport star athlete who was tragically killed in June 2014 while riding her bicycle across the country in the 4K for Cancer event, which raised money for the Ulman Cancer Fund to support young adults impacted by cancer.
The capital campaign also supports the completion of a new 52,289-square-foot academic building to house the College’s music department, a 700-seat auditorium, educational studies department, which includes the Master of Arts in Teaching program, and a multidiscipline learning commons area. According to the College’s planning and facilities department, the College is on an aggressive schedule and work on the new Jamie L. Roberts stadium complex’s artificial turf field will begin in mid-November pending all appropriate permits and approvals. The grass field for the complex will be an expansion on one of the existing practice fields. Work on the stadium structure is slated to begin in January. The College anticipates the complex will be completed in time for the fall 2018 season.

Capital Athletic Conference
Formed in 1989, this nine-member coalition of four-year, co-educational institutions promotes intercollegiate athletic competition among schools located in close geographic proximity that have similar educational and athletic philosophies. The Capital Athletic Conference (CAC) strives to develop a harmony of good feeling and a spirit of competitive sportsmanship, fellowship, and uniformity of practice among member institutions. Conference members are required to operate their intercollegiate athletic programs under the highest ethical standards and to maintain a program consistent with the overall educational philosophy of the member institutions. Charter members were: The Catholic University of America, Gallaudet University, Mary Washington College, Marymount University, St. Mary’s College of Maryland, and York College of Pennsylvania. Goucher College was accepted for membership in 1991 and Salisbury University was accepted in 1993, Stevenson University (formerly Villa Julie College) and Hood College were accepted in December 2005. Wesley College joined in January 2006. Frostburg State University joined the CAC prior to the 2010-11 academic year. Catholic University and Goucher College withdrew from the conference on June 1, 2007. Gallaudet University announced plans to withdraw from the CAC following the 2009-10 year to join the NorthEastern Athletic Conference. The first president of the conference was Bill Finney of Marymount University. In June 1993, Richard C. Cook was appointed as the first commissioner. In January 2008, Tom Byrnes was selected to serve as the first full-time commissioner with the dual role of conference sports information director. In 1991-92, the first Conference All-Sports Award, given annually to the Conference institution that accumulates the most points toward the “total” athletic program, was awarded to Mary Washington College. In June 2007, the Board of Directors added a “Men’s Commissioner’s Award” and a “Women’s Commissioner’s Award” to promote the best men’s and women’s programs in the conference in addition to the overall best program. In December 2007, the all-sports was re-named the “Richard C. Cook All-Sports Award” in recognition of the 15 years of service by the retiring commissioner. Throughout the years, the Conference has produced hundreds of AllAmerican athletes and has had many teams and individuals participate in NCAA Championship events.

Community Service Engaging in community service provides students with the opportunity to become active members of their community and has a lasting, positive impact on society at large. Community service enables students to acquire life skills and knowledge, as well as provide a service to those who need it. Participating in community service activities helps to enhance student resumes by allowing students to obtain work-related skills prior to graduation, builds good references for employers in regards to community involvement, and provides a forum to network with future potential employers. It also helps students develop civic and social responsibility skills and become more aware of what their community needs. We have participated every year in feeding the community during Thanksgiving and also brought the sport of basketball to other countries like the Dominican Republic, Kenya and China.

Coach Harney has spent 27 years honing his coaching philosophy in the off season by working with world renowned and Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame coach, Morgan Wootten at The Coach Wootten’s Basketball Camps. In addition coach Harney has spent 21 years working with Rob Kennedy and the Hoop Group basketball organization, a training and basketball recruitment service.

About St. Mary’s
Founded in 1840, St. Mary’s enjoys a unique status in higher education as Maryland’s public honors college.
in Capital Athletic Conference scholarathletes for 8 years
The College is consistently ranked as one of the top public liberal arts colleges in the nation by U.S. News & World Report, Kiplinger’s and The Princeton Review. As Maryland’s public honors college, St. Mary’s offers an undergraduate liberal arts education and small-college experience like those found at exceptional private colleges. St. Mary’s shares the hallmarks of private institutions: an outstanding faculty, talented students, high academic standards, a challenging curriculum, small classes, a sense of community, and a spirit of intellectual inquiry. But as a state institution of higher education, St. Mary’s is also committed to the ideals of affordability, accessibility, and diversity. By combining these virtues of public and private education, St. Mary’s provides a unique alternative for students and their families. St. Mary’s is named for the place it marks: the 17th-century capital of Maryland. The spectacular waterfront setting is in the heart of the Chesapeake Bay region. The campus is 70 miles southeast of Washington, D.C. and 95 miles south of Baltimore.
Maryland for 61 years (until 1695) and saw the beginnings of civil rights and representative government on this continent.
Situated where English colonists first arrived in Maryland in 1634, the College has enjoyed a rich history from its origins in 1840 as a boarding school to its present prominent status as Maryland’s public honors college. The land now occupied by the campus of St. Mary’s College has played an important role in the evolution of the community and in the history of Maryland. The campus, lying on a broad bend of the St. Mary’s River, was the home of the Yaocomaco people during the 1600s. English colonists arrived aboard the Ark and Dove in 1634, determined to establish a settlement under a charter from King Charles I, authorizing them to take dominion of the lands surrounding the Chesapeake Bay. Led by Leonard Calvert, second son of Lord Baltimore, they came ashore within sight of where the College stands today, signed a treaty of peaceful coexistence with the Yaocomaco, and named their town St. Mary’s City. Though the settlement had ceased to flourish by the end of the 17th century, it was the capital of

Public Liberal Arts Colleges
U.S. News & World Report, 2016
From the very first, St. Mary’s embraced the ideal of making an excellent education affordable. In 1846, the first board of trustees designed tuition and living costs to be substantially lower than those at similar schools. After 1868, when the General Assembly began giving the school annual appropriations, the seminary frequently educated up to half of its students—representing every county of the state and each legislative district of Baltimore City—free of charge. Although it struggled for survival in its first two decades, the seminary enjoyed a successful half-century following the Civil War, benefiting from state funding, popular approval, and conscientious trustees, many of whom served for as long as 30 years. During the 20th century, the school expanded its campus and enriched the quality of instruction to serve the growing numbers of young women, and eventually men, who desired a fine education. Adding to the stability of St. Mary’s was the fact that it has had only 11 principals/presidents between 1900 and 2016. Twice in the 20th century—in 1924 and in 1947— crises threatened to destroy the school. Each time, the people of the county and the state rallied to save their “monument school” and to improve it. In January 1924, during a freezing blizzard, fire gutted the majestic 80-year-old Main Building, despite the valiant efforts of local residents. Trustees, state officials, and hundreds of alumnae and friends quickly rebuilt the school as students

lived in temporary quarters. In 1927, their efforts were rewarded when St. Mary’s became Maryland’s first junior college, affording students the unique opportunity to complete four years of high school and two years of college at the same institution. In 1947, the Maryland Commission on Higher Education slated St. Mary’s Female Seminary-Junior College for dissolution. Before the governor could act, a large public outcry, prompted by tireless alumnae, not only saved the school from extinction, but created the momentum for removing the word “Female” and renaming it St. Mary’s Seminary Junior College (1949), and its eventual evolution into a coed four-year baccalaureate college (1967). In 1992, the Maryland legislature designated it the state’s public honors college.
Under the leadership of seven presidents—M. Adele France (1923-1948), A. May Russell (1948-1969), J. Renwick Jackson, Jr. (1969-1982), Edward T. Lewis (1983-1996), Jane Margaret O’Brien (19962009), Joseph R. Urgo (2010-2013), and Tuajuanda C. Jordan (2014 – )—St. Mary’s College of Maryland has developed into the finest public liberal arts college in the Mid-Atlantic. In the past decade, the College has received national acclaim for the quality of its programs, the excellence of its faculty and students, and the magnificence of its waterfront campus.
