The Air Force Basketball Locker Room offers a spacious individual locker for each player as well as a big screen TV the team can use for game film. The locker room was recently redesigned thanks to a special gift from Bob Kay. The Air Force Basketball Team Room was completed during the 2007-08 season, thanks to a very generous donation by Ben and Sandy Horton.

Clune Arena has been the home for the Air Force basketball program since 1968. The arena is named after former AFA Director of Athletics John Clune, who served in that position from 1975-91. The picture above was taken during the Air Force - New Mexico game on Jan. 9, 2007, when an arena record of 6,511 spectators witnessed the Falcons rally from a 21-point deficit to defeat the Lobos, 4 65-57. 4 - AIR FORCE BASKETBALL

CADET FIELD HOUSE The Air Force Academy’s Cadet Field House is one of the most impressive buildings in the country. It is a modern, versatile structure with seemingly endless uses. The $5.6 millin building is five stories high and 396 feet by 426 feet, the size of three football fields laid side by side. The structure is divided into three areas basketball arena, ice hockey arena and multipurpose area. The three sections have a combined seating capacity of about 11,000. The building provides space for competition in basketball, indoor track, wrestling, fencing, gymnastics, lacrosse and ice hockey. Practice facilities are also available for football, basketball, baseball, track, soccer, golf and tennis, as well as intramural events. Both tartan and astroturf surfaces are utilized in the building, The basketball arena floor base and indoor track are covered with tartan surfaces. Until the 1982-83 season, basketball games were played on the tartan surface. Now the Falcons play on a removable wooden floor placed on the tartan surface. The one-sixth mile track is also covered with a polyurethane surface, but a rougher version. It requires less maintenance than a normal track and provides greater traction to the runners. Inside the track is a netted area, 119 feet by 125 feet, which includes a baseball infield and half a football field. The ice hockey arena seats 2,502 and was the site of one of the 1969 National Collegiate Championship games. The basketball arena seats 5,843. One of the innovations if a press box located between the ice hockey and basketball arenas. It allows reporters to observe both arena from a single vantage point.

The immortal words of an eastern visitor in 1893 live perpetually at the base of Colorado’s Rocky Mountains. When teacher and poet Katherine Lee Bates took a wagon ride to the summit of Pikes Peak she was inspired to write a song that is still recited today. Her view from atop the 14,110-foot peak was the basis of her song “America the Beautiful”. The history of Colorado Springs traverses back to 1870 when Gen. William Jackson Palmer first visited the region and was captivated by its grandeur. A year later, he began designing his city of dreams. From its beginning on the corner of Pikes Peak and Cascade Avenues in downtown Colorado Springs, the city has grown more than 183 square miles and to nearly 400,000 people in the city and nearly 600,000 in the metro area. Colorado Springs is known nationally for its natural attractions. The Garden of the Gods, the area’s No. 1 natural attraction, is a majestic out-cropping of red sandstone rocks which are more than 300 million years old. The park offers a wide variety of hiking and cycling trails and an abundance of wildlife. Colorado Springs is also home to the Pikes Peak Highway, a 19-mile drive up the world’s highest toll road. The area’s No. 1 man-made attraction is the Air Force Academy’s Cadet Chapel. Another major attraction is the Broadmoor Hotel and Resort. Built in the early 1900s, this five-star resort, the host of the 1995 U.S. Women’s Open Golf Championship and the 2008 Senior U.S. Open, is nestled into the base of Cheyenne Mountain. The Pikes Peak region is home to the nation’s only mountain zoo. The Cheyenne Mountain Zoo, with an elevation of more than 6,800-feet, has received several changes in the past two years. For the outdoors enthusiast, the city and the state offer a plethora of recreational activities. A short drive to the northwest features some of the nation’s finest ski resorts, including the cities of Vail and Aspen. A short jaunt to the southwest or northwest will find some of the best white-water rafting, fishing, hiking and cycling that the country has to offer. Valuing its past with a vision for the future, Colorado Springs is truly a city with unparalleled culture, recreation, growth and opportunity in the 21st century.

Less than 45 minutes from the Academy and with over 300 days of sunshine per year, The Mile High City of Denver has it all. Truly a sports capitol, Denver has nine professional sports teams, including the Denver Broncos (NFL), Denver Nuggets (NBA), Colorado Avalanche (NHL), Colorado Rockies (MLB), Colorado Rapids (Major League Soccer), Denver Dynamite (Indoor Soccer League), Colorado Outlaws (Major League Lacrosse) and the Colorado Mammoth (National Lacrosse League). Recent success among the teams has driven the excitement for these teams a mountain high. The Broncos won the Super Bowl in 1998 and 1999. The Avalanche won the Stanley Cup in 1996 and 2001. The Crush won the Arena Bowl in 2005. Located just east of the Rocky Mountains and the Continental Divide, Denver has a mild and dry climate with more days of sunshine per year than San Diego and Miami. Golf courses are open year round as the average winter temperature is 45 degrees, warmer than Boston, New York City and St. Louis. The city sits at 5,280 feet above sea level. In fact, there is a step on the State Capitol Building that is exactly one mile above sea level. Even at a mile above sea level, the city is dwarfed by its backdrop. The foothills being just west of the city and the peaks of the mountain range reach heights of more than 14,000 feet. Despite the proximity to the mountains, the city receives just 8-15 inches of precipitation per year, about the same as Los Angeles. The United States Census Bureau estimates that, in 2006, the population of the City and County of Denver was 566,974, making it the 27th most populous U.S. city. The Denver-Aurora Metropolitan Statistical Area had an estimated 2006 population of 2,408,750 and ranked as the 21st most populous U.S. metropolitan statistical area. Denver has the largest city park system in the nation. There are 650 miles of off-street, bike paths, 90 golf courses and 200 parks. Within a 90-minute drive from downtown Denver, there are opportunities for some of the country’s best skiing, hiking, fishing, rafting and mountain biking.

THE USAFA The United States Air Force Academy offers a four-year program of instruction and experience designed to educate, train and inspire men and women to become officers of character, motivated to lead the United States Air Force in service to our nation. Each cadet graduates with a bachelor of science degree and a commission as a second lieutenant in the Air Force. COURSE OF STUDY Cadets are exposed to a balanced curriculum that provides the knowledge, skills and responsibilities essential to a career Air Force officer. The entire USAFA experience is integrated and mapped to achieve a set of desired outcomes in every graduate. The core academic curriculum includes courses in basic sciences, engineering, social sciences and humanities. Cadets take additional elective courses to complete requirements for one of 32 major areas of study. About 50 percent of the cadets complete majors in science and engineering; the remainder graduate in the social sciences and humanities. Some of the most popular majors include management, aeronautical engineering, foreign area studies, history, behavioral science, civil engineering, astronautical engineering, electrical engineering and engineering mechanics. FACULTY COMPOSITION The majority of the Academy’s faculty members, more than 500 total, are Air Force officers. They are selected primarily from career-officer volunteers who have established outstanding records of performance and dedication. Each has at least a master’s degree and more than 55 percent have doctorates or other terminal degrees in their field of study. About 30 percent of the faculty are civilians who bring great depth of disciplinary and educational expertise and provide academic stability and continuity. Faculty members are intensely focused on cadet learning as an integral part of their officer development. The Air Force Academy has been ranked No. 1 in the nation for the most accessible and involved faculty for four years in a row. To provide greater contributions by a diverse faculty, the Academy has several distinguished visiting professors and endowed professors who serve one or more years. Officers from other services, as well as officers from allied countries are also members of the faculty. Distinguished civilian and military lecturers also share their expertise with the cadets during the academic year. ATHLETIC PROGRAM The Academy’s athletic program is designed to improve physical fitness, teach athletic skills and develop leadership qualities. To achieve its goals, the Academy offers some of the most extensive physical education, intramural sports and intercollegiate athletic programs in the nation. Cadets take at least three different physical education courses each year.

MILITARY EDUCATION AND TRAINING An air, space and cyberspace-oriented military education, training and leadership program begins with basic cadet training and continues throughout the four years. Seniors are responsible for the organizational leadership of the cadet wing, while juniors and sophomores seek to develop team and interpersonal leadership and instructional skills. Cadets are projected into as many active leadership roles as possible to prepare them to be effective Air Force officers. Fundamental concepts of military organization -- drill, ethics, honor, Air Force heritage and physical training -- are emphasized the first summer during basic cadet training. Freshmen then study the military role in United States society as well as the mission and organization of the Air Force. Sophomores receive instruction in communication skills and juniors study the combat and operational aspects of the Air Force. The Academy offers courses in flying, navigation, soaring and parachuting, building from basic skills to instructor duties. Some cadets may fly light aircraft with the Cadet Flying Team. Summer training for cadets is divided into three, three-week training periods. There are a variety of programs available and each cadet is required to complete two training periods each summer with leave during the other period. All new cadets take six weeks of basic cadet training in their first summer. Combat survival training is a required threeweek program during cadets’ second summer. For other second-summer training periods, cadets have options such as working with Airmen in an operational unit at an Air Force installation, airborne parachute training, soaring or basic free-fall parachute training. During their last two summers, all cadets are offered leadership training as supervisors or instructors in the summer programs listed above. Extracurricular activities also are an integral part of the education program. The cadet ski club, drum and bugle corps, cadet chorale and forensics are a few of the programs available. NOMINATIONS Nominations to the Academy may be obtained through a congressional sponsor or by meeting eligibility criteria in other categories of competition established by law. For information on admission procedures, write to HQ USAFA/RRS; 2304 Cadet Drive, Suite 200; USAF Academy, CO 80840-5025.

HISTORY OF THE ACADEMY In 1948, a board of leading civilian and military educators was appointed to plan the curriculum for an academy that would meet the needs of the newly established Air Force. The board determined that Air Force requirements could not be met by expanding the other service academies and recommended an Air Force Academy be established without delay. In 1949, then Secretary of the Air Force W. Stuart Symington appointed a commission to assist in selecting a site and on April 1, 1954, President Dwight D. Eisenhower authorized creation of the United States Air Force Academy. After considering 580 sites in 45 states, the commission narrowed the choice to three locations. The summer of 1954, Secretary of the Air Force Harold Talbott selected a site near Colorado Springs, Colo. Colorado contributed $1 million toward purchase of the property. In July 1955, the first Academy class entered interim facilities at Lowry Air Force Base, Denver, while construction began. It was sufficiently completed for occupancy by the cadet wing in late August 1958. Initial construction cost was $142 million. Women entered the Academy on June 28, 1976, as members of the class of 1980.

DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS - DR. HANS J. MUEH an internal/external model that has streamlined resources and made the department more effective from top to bottom. In addition, the athletic department made the transition to a federally-chartered non-profit organization in the summer of 2013, which will lead to more fund-raising opportunities. Mueh was instrumental in the USAFA Endowment and the announcement of the Holaday Athletic Center, an indoor training facility. The $15 million facility was completed in July 2011.

Dr. Hans J. Mueh is in his 10th year as the director of athletics at the Air Force Academy. A retired Air Force brigadier general, Mueh was vice dean of faculty for two years prior to his retirement from active duty in the summer of 2004. Mueh was heavily involved in Academy athletics before becoming director of athletics. He was the Academy’s faculty athletics representative from 1996-2004 and was a long-time member of the board of directors for the Air Force Academy Athletics Association. Since becoming the director of athletics, Mueh has led the Academy to some remarkable feats. In 2007, the Academy was one of only three schools (Michigan State and Boston College) to reach post-season play in football (2007), men’s basketball and ice hockey (200607). It marked the first time a service academy has ever had a team compete in the post-season in all three sports. In addition, under Mueh’s watch the men’s basketball team has played in another NCAA tournament and the National Invitational Tournament’s Final Four. The ice hockey team has won the conference championship and advanced to the NCAA tournament five of the last six years. Mueh was on the selection committee that hired current head coach Frank Serratore and led the Academy’s move into the Atlantic Hockey Association. The football program, the Academy’s flagship sport, has gone through a major overhaul under Mueh. He led the transition from the retirement of the legendary Fisher DeBerry after 23 years at the helm to hiring current head coach Troy Calhoun, a 1989 Academy graduate. Calhoun’s impact was immediate, leading the Falcons to a 9-4 overall mark and a secondplace finish in the Mountain West Conference in 2007. The Falcons qualified for their first bowl game in seven years, playing in the Armed Forces Bowl in 2007. The program has gone to a school-record six consecutive bowl games and averaged over 9,000 bowl tickets sold.

Mueh has also been active within the conference and the NCAA. He was recently selected to be part of the NCAA Division I Amateurism Cabinet and has been active on the NCAA’s academics/eligibility compliance cabinet, the men’s golf committee and the region 7 postgraduate scholarship committee. Mueh has been equally active within the conference on various leadership committees. He is currently on the awards and recognition committee and has previously served on the joint council executive committee, and committees on championships, television and sportsmanship. Before assuming his duties as vice dean at the Academy, Mueh was permanent professor and head of the department of chemistry at the Academy, a position he held since October 1987 where he oversaw the annual design and instruction of 25 undergraduate courses for 1,500 cadets annually. Mueh was born Jan. 8, 1944, in Celle, Germany, and emigrated to the United States in 1951. He entered the Air Force in 1962 as a member of the Academy’s eighth graduating class, and graduated with a bachelor of science degree in chemistry in 1966. While at the Academy, Mueh was a two-year letterwinner in soccer as a goalie. He still holds the Academy record for saves in a game with 30, accomplishing it twice in 1965 against North Carolina and Benedictine. In his junior and senior years, Mueh helped the Falcons to the Rocky Mountain Intercollegiate Soccer League championship and quarterfinal berths in the NCAA tournament. He was a first-team all-league selection in 1965.

Following graduation, Mueh completed two assignments in intelligence before attending the University of Wisconsin where he earned his master’s degree in chemistry in 1970. He later earned a doctorate degree in chemistry from Wisconsin in 1976 as a distinguished graduate. He has also completed Squadron Officer School, Air Command and Staff College and Air War College.

USAFA ATHLETICS Few schools in the country have an athletic program as extensive as the Air Force Academy’s. The goals of the athletic program are to enhance the physical conditioning of all cadets, to develop the physical skills necessary for officership, to teach leadership in a competitive environment and to build character. There are three subdivisions of the athletic program: intercollegiate athletics, intramurals and physical education. The intercollegiate program has 17 men’s and 10 women’s NCAA-sanctioned teams, facing some of the top competition in the nation. Men’s teams are football, baseball, basketball, ice hockey, cross-country, fencing, golf, gymnastics, indoor and outdoor track, lacrosse, rifle, soccer, swimming and diving, tennis, water polo and wrestling. The Academy fields women’s teams in basketball, cross-country, fencing, gymnastics, rifle, indoor and outdoor track, swimming and diving, soccer, tennis and volleyball. In addition, the Academy sponsors two non-NCAA programs; boxing and cheerleading. The majority of the Academy’s men’s and women’s programs compete at the NCAA Division I level in the Mountain West Conference. The Falcons compete in this conference against teams from Boise State, Colorado State, Fresno State, Hawai’i (football only), Nevada, New Mexico, San Diego State, UNLV and Wyoming. All sports also compete against non-conference opponents, including many nationallyranked teams. The football team competes annually for the Commander-inChief’s Trophy, which is emblematic of service academy football supremacy. The Falcons have won the trophy 18 times, which is more than any other academy. The winner of the annual rivalry visits the White House to have the trophy presented by the President of the United States. The USAFA Cadet Field House is one of the most impressive buildings in the country. It’s a modern, versatile structure with seemingly endless uses. The $5.6 million building is five stories high and 396 feet by 426 feet, the size of three football fields laid side by side. The structure is divided into three areas--basketball arena, ice hockey arena and multipurpose area. The three sections have a combined seating capacity of more than 9,000. Clune Arena seats 5,858. The Cadet Ice Rink has a seating capacity of 2,470, while the multipurpose area seats 1,000 fans for track and field competitions. The department’s newest facility, the Holaday Athletic Center (below), was completed in July 2011.

ASSISTANT COACH TYRON WRIGHT 12th Communications Squadron. Upon the completion of his ACE tour in 2003, he joined the 509th Communications Squadron at Whiteman Air Force Base in Missouri as the Support Flight commander.

Tyron Wright enters his sixth season on the Falcon coaching staff after rejoining the program prior to the 2012-13 season. Wright was an assistant coach for Air Force from 2006-09 and a graduate assistant coach for the Falcons during the 2000-01 campaign. Prior to rejoining the program last season, Wright worked in the registrar’s office at the Academy and served as an assistant coach for the USAFA Prep School men’s basketball team from 2009-12. Wright, who earned his bachelor’s degree in human factors engineering in 2000 from the Academy, enjoyed a stellar basketball career with the Falcons. After spending his first two years with the junior varsity, he became a two-year starter for the varsity. He burst on the scene in 1999 as a junior to lead Air Force in scoring with an 18.2 average. His scoring average still ranks as the third-best in school history for a first-year player. Wright ended that season as a second-team all-conference selection and was twice named conference player of the week. He earned his first player of the week honor after scoring a career-high 36 points and grabbing 11 rebounds vs. SMU. Wright shattered the school record for most points by a reserve with 31 in a win over Denver.

In Nov. 2004, he became the network systems flight commander, then was hired as the executive officer to the commander of the 509th Maintenance Group in June of 2005.

In 2003, ‘04 and ‘06, Wright was selected to represent the Air Force in the Armed Forces Basketball Tournament and was named all-tournament all three years. As a result of his performance in 2003, he was also chosen to represent the United States Military in international competition at the Military World Games held in Cantania, Italy. Most recently, Wright was selected to coach the All-Air Force Team at the Armed Forces Tournament in April 2011. The team went undefeated and won the gold medal, which qualified Wright to coach the Armed Forces Team in international competition at the CISM World Games held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil in July 2011. The team tied for the best record at the tournament, and was one of five U.S. teams to medal with a thirdplace finish. Wright and his wife Hassain are the proud parents of daughters, Jada (8) and Anaya (4).

An all-around player, Wright finished second on the team in scoring, rebounding and assists as a senior, averaging 13.8 points, 4.5 rebounds and 2.1 assists per game. Following the 2000-01 season, Wright was assigned to Randolph Air Force Base in San Antonio, Texas, where he served as an ACE lieutenant for the

ASSISTANT COACH CAPT. NICK WELCH

Capt. Nick Welch joins the Falcon coaching staff in 2013-14. Previously, Welch spent four years at Barksdale AFB in Louisiana as an aircraft maintenance officer and two at Los Angeles Air Force Base as an acquisition program manager since his graduation from the Academy. Welch, who earned his bachelor’s degree in economics in 2007, enjoyed a stellar basketball career with the Falcons. A four-year letterwinner, he is No. 14 on AFA’s career scoring list with 1,109 points and 10th on the school’s assist list with 255. Welch, who is tied for ninth with 116 career games played, started the last 93 games he played in as a Falcon. He took the Mountain West Conference by storm as a sophomore in 2003-04 when he was named co-player of the year and an honorable mention AllAmerican by The Associated Press. He led Air Force to the regular-season conference championship and first appearance in the NCAA Tournament since 1962. Welch paced the team in scoring (11.4 ppg), rebounding (4.0 rpg), steals (40) and finished second with 80 assists while shooting 54.2 percent (117-216) from the field.

Welch averaged 12 points and 3.6 rebounds per game as a junior in 200405, earning second-team all-conference honors and leading the Falcons to an 18-12 record. An ankle injury sidelined him for the entire ’05-06 campaign, but he was granted a medical turnback by the Academy and helped the Falcons to a school-record 26 wins, a national ranking of No. 11 and a trip to New York City for the NIT semifinals as a senior in ’06-07. He scored a career-high 20 points three different times in his career and pulled down a career-best 10 rebounds, in addition to scoring 17 points, for the only double-double of his career in a 94-58 victory over Wake Forest during his senior campaign. Welch, who helped Air Force capture 78 victories during his four years on the court, joined classmates Jacob Burtschi and Dan Nwaelele on the all-Air Force team that captured the gold medal at the 2008 Armed Forces Basketball Championships. He also won a gold medal and was named to the all-tournament team at the 2012 Armed Forces Championships and captured a silver medal for the USA all-Armed Forces team at the 2012 SHAPE International Basketball Championships in SHAPE, Belgium. Welch, 30, and his wife Annie, a former volleyball player at the University of Wyoming, are the proud parents of three sons, Nick, Jr. (4), J.J. (2) and Luke (1).

2012-13 SEASON IN REVIEW The 2012-13 Air Force basketball team was given its usual lack of respect when it came to preseason polls. Once again the prognosticators had the Falcons bringing up the rear of the Mountain West Conference. What all of those predictions forgot was the hearts of five seniors who knew that they could play with any team in the country. The season began at the All-Military Classic, and for the second season in a row, the Falcons took the championship. Senior Michael Lyons was named MVP after scoring 52 points in the sweep of Army and The Citadel. The non-conference season continued with a myriad of games, including contests against NCAA tournament qualifiers Colorado, Wichita State and Florida, the most entertaining of which came against the Final Four-bound Shockers. Wichita State had to come into Clune Arena and shoot 58.3 percent from the field to sneak past the Falcons, 72-69, in the final Mountain West / Missouri Valley Challenge game. Lyons had a shot at the buzzer to tie that just rimmed out. While the preseason proved to be a great test for the Falcons, the Mountain West slate held games against five more NCAA Tournament qualifiers. Air Force took an 8-4 record into the league opener at Clune conference newcomer Nevada.

Todd Fletcher won AFA’s prestigious Bob Spear Award last season. He hit the gamewinning 3-pointer with 3.5 seconds left to defeat 12th-ranked New Mexico in last year’s regular-season finale at Clune Arena.

Senior Mike Fitzgerald had a break-out game with 30 points and eight rebounds as Air Force won its third consecutive conference opener, 78-65. He became just the seventh player in program history to score at least 30 points in a conference game. The second game of the Mountain West slate featured a trip to Las Vegas, where Air Force gave UNLV’s Runnin’ Rebels all they could ask for before falling 76-71 in overtime. Fitzgerald had a shot at the buzzer to win it in regulation. While the loss evened the Falcons out at 1-1 in conference play, some were starting to take note that this season would be different from the past. After a rough loss in Fort Collins to Colorado State, Lyons put the team on his shoulders to start a five game winning streak, in Clune Arena against Boise State. He became the eighth Falcon ever to score at least 30 points in a conference game with a then career-high 37 in a 91-80 win. The 91 points marked the most by an Air Force team in a Mountain West game ands the third-most in any league contest. A 90-48 rout of New Orleans then followed, before a date with rival Wyoming in Laramie. Senior Taylor Broekhuis led the way this time, scoring 16 points and grabbing nine rebounds in a 57-48 victory, just the fifth road conference win in the last five years. Air Force was above the .500 mark (3-2) after five conference games. Yet another senior stepped up as the team hosted Fresno State. Todd Fletcher tallied 19 points on 8-of-11 shooting, plus he dished out five assists as Air Force won going away. That win set up a date with the 22nd-ranked San Diego State Aztecs, who came in with an identical 4-2 conference mark. Lyons scored 20 points and Fletcher added 13 as the Falcons beat a ranked SDSU team at home for the second straight year. The win improved the Falcons to 14-6 overall and 5-2 and third place in conference play. The road proved to be a tough place for this team for the remainder of Mountain West play, but Clune Arena was special as evidenced by big games against the conference’s best. The Falcons dominated UNLV, 71-56, behind 27 points from Lyons and 18 from Fitzgerald. Sophomore DeLovell Earls posted a careerhigh 12 points. Lyons showed he was worthy of conference player of the year consideration against Colorado State at Clune. He poured in a career-high 45 points on 17-of-25 shooting, the fifth-most points ever in one game by an Air Force player and the most ever by any player at Clune Arena, but AFA fell just short, 89-86.

48

Air Force won just one of its next four games, a 72-66 win at Clune over Wyoming thanks to career-highs of 25 points and 10 rebounds by sophomore Kamryn Williams. As the regular-season slate drew to a close, the conference’s best team, 12th-ranked New Mexico, invaded the Academy for what they hoped would be a rout, but those hopes were dashed by Lyons and company. In one of the best games ever played at Clune Arena, Fletcher hit a three-pointer with 3.5 seconds remaining to give the Falcons an 89-88 victory, marking the highest-ranked team Air Force has defeated in program history. Lyons led all scorers with 30 points, while Fletcher posted a career-high 21. With the regular season over, the Falcons could delight in their 17-12 regular-season record and number six seed in the Mountain West Tournament. A rubber match with home-standing UNLV had the Falcon faithful quite hopeful, but those were dashed early in the game by a freak injury. Lyons went down with a season-ending knee injury 90 seconds into the game and the Falcons lost 72-56. The injury to Lyons would prove to be double jeopardy, as Air Force never recovered against the Rebels and slipped from a possible NIT bid to an invitation to the CollegeInsider. com Postseason tournament for the second time in three years. Still, the team was still playing when the majority of college basketball team’s are packing it in. The first round of the CIT had the Falcons traveling to Hawaii, one of the longest trips anyone can make in college basketball. Despite weary legs, and hearts, Air Force found a way to prevail 69-65. Fitzgerald led the way with game-highs of 25 points and nine boards. Senior Kyle Green added a career-high 18 points, along with another career best of six assists. The team tied its season high with 15 three pointers on their way to the first post-season road victory in the program’s 57-year history. Game two of the CIT was also on the road at Weber State in Ogden Utah, and the long travel took its toll, as the Falcons bowed out of the tourney with a 78-57 loss. Air Force’s final 18-14 mark ties the fourth-most wins in school history and, after those preseason predictions, tied Boise State for the biggest jump from predicted to actual finish in the Mountain West (3 spots).

THE MOUNTAIN WEST THIS IS THE MOUNTAIN WEST From its inception in 1999, the Mountain West has been committed to excellence in intercollegiate athletics, while promoting the academic missions of its member institutions. Progressive in its approach, the MW continues to cultivate opportunities for student-athletes to compete at the highest level, while fostering academic achievement and sportsmanship. Now in its 14th year, the MW has been assertive in its involvement with the NCAA governance structure and has taken a leadership role in the overall administration of intercollegiate athletics. The Mountain West has marked several achievements over its first 13 years of existence, most notably becoming the first to establish a sports television network dedicated solely to an intercollegiate athletic conference (The Mtn.). The Mountain West also was the first to experiment with the coaches’ challenge in the college football instant replay system, and was the first non-automatic-qualifying BCS conference to participate in four BCS bowl games, winning three. Additionally, the Mountain West was the first conference to have a member institution with No. 1 overall picks in both the NFL and NBA drafts in the same year (Utah’s Alex Smith and Andrew Bogut, respectively in 2005). With San Diego State’s Stephen Strasburg claiming the No. 1 pick in the 2009 MLB Draft, the Mountain West is one of two conferences to have the No. 1 selection in each of the NFL, NBA and MLB drafts since the MW was founded in 1999. In 2011-12, the Mountain West was among the first conferences to implement a league-wide state-of-the art basketball instant replay system.

The Mountain West is noted for its geographic diversity. Some of the most beautiful terrain and landscapes in the nation can be found within Mountain West boundaries, including the majestic Rocky Mountain range, which borders four MW institutions (Air Force, Boise State, Colorado State and New Mexico). The high plains of Wyoming (elevation 7,220 feet – the highest Division I campus in the nation) contrast with the desert cities of Las Vegas and Reno, home to UNLV and Nevada, while Fresno State and San Diego State add a West coast influence with their locations in Central and Southern California. The inclusion of the Hawai‘i football program extends the Mountain West footprint to the beautiful islands in the Pacific Ocean. HISTORY

The Mountain West was conceived on May 26, 1998, when the presidents of eight institutions — Air Force, BYU, Colorado State, New Mexico, San Diego State, UNLV, Utah and Wyoming — decided to form a new NCAA Division I-A intercollegiate athletic conference. The split from a former 16-team conference re-established continuity and stability among the membership within the new league and signaled the continuation of its tradition-rich, long-standing athletic rivalries. Three of the MW’s eight original members have been conference rivals since the 1960s (New Mexico, Wyoming and Colorado State), while San Diego State (1978) and Air Force (1980) were longtime members as well. UNLV and TCU entered the fold in 1996 and the Rebels continued as one of the original eight institutions that formed the MW in 1999.

The Mountain West provides a first-class athletic

50

and academic experience for more than 7,000 student-athletes each year. Over the past 13 years, 38 Mountain West studentathletes have earned NCAA Postgraduate Scholarships, and since the league’s inception in 1999, an additional 26 student-athletes have been named MW Scholar-Athlete of the Year and awarded league-sponsored postgraduate scholarships. Three student-athletes have earned distinction as Rhodes Scholars (Jessica Mellinger, Wyoming and Delavane Diaz and Brittany Morreale, Air Force). Conference student-athletes are also given a voice regarding pertinent issues within the MW and NCAA governance structure through representation on the StudentAthlete Advisory Committee (SAAC). The Mountain West SAAC consists of 19 representatives; two student-athletes from each full member institution and one faculty athletics representative. The committee reviews and reacts to legislation and to other topics referred by the Conference constituent groups or committees related to the student-athlete experience. ACHIEVEMENT The MW has produced 762 All-America selections among its 18 sponsored sports (men’s swimming was discontinued as a conference sport following the 2010-11 season) in the last 13 years, including a league-record 83 All-America honorees in 2010-11. A total of 125 MW student-athletes have also earned Academic All-America accolades in that span. The Mountain West has sent at least 28 teams to NCAA postseason events in each of the past 13 years, capturing three team national championships in men’s cross country and producing 32 individual national champions in the sports of men’s golf, men’s cross country, and men’s and women’s indoor track & field and outdoor track & field. SPORTSMANSHIP Named a Sports Ethics Fellow by the Institute for International Sport in 1998, Commissioner Thompson has been a driving force for sportsmanship within intercollegiate athletics. As part of its continuing growth and development, the Mountain West implemented an extensive Sportsmanship Initiative, endorsed by both the MW Joint Council and MW Board of Directors. The program is made up of several elements, which are both practical and philosophical in nature. While the MW has significant penalties in place to deal with violations, the Sportsmanship Initiative is primarily promotional and educational in nature. The goal is to develop an environment that fosters appropriate behavior from all Conference constituencies.

TEAM AWARD WINNERS The Bob Spear Award is given to the player that is outstanding in all areas of the Academy -- academics, athletics and military performance. The award started in 1991 and is named for former head coach Bob Spear. Known as the “Father of Air Force Basketball,” he coached the Falcons from 1957-71. Spear led the Falcons to a 177-175 record and is the winningest coach in school history. Spear led Air Force to winning seasons in seven of his 15 years and the school’s first two NCAA Tournament appearances. His 1960 and 1962 squads were selected to the Midwest Regional. Spear also coached two of Air Force’s five AllAmericans (Bob Beckel and Cliff Parsons). Aaron Benson was the inaugural winner of the award following the 1990-91 campaign. Todd Fletcher won the award last season.

FORMER FALCON GREGG POPOVICH 1970 GRAD HAS LED SAN ANTONIO SPURS TO FOUR NBA TITLES San Antonio Spurs head coach and general manager Gregg Popovich is a former Falcon. Born in East Chicago, Ind., Popovich, a 1970 graduate of the Air Force Academy, is the son-in-law of the late Air Force athletic trainer Jim Conboy. As a senior at Air Force, Popovich led the Falcons in scoring with a 14.3 average and served as team captain while helping the team to a 12-12 record. He graduated with a degree in Soviet studies, followed by a five-year military commitment in the United States Air Force. Soon thereafter, he made his first foray into coaching, spending six years as an assistant at the Academy. He then spent eight seasons as the head coach of Pomona-Pitzer College in Claremont, Calif., leading the team to its first conference championship in 68 years in 1985-86. He then joined Larry Brown as an assistant for the Spurs. After a two-year stint coaching with Don Nelson at Golden State, Popovich returned to the Spurs as general manager in 1994. Popovich added head coaching to his long list of responsibilities on Dec. 10, 1996, when he replaced Bob Hill on the Spurs’ sideline. With a roster decimated by injuries to key players such as David Robinson and Sean Elliott, the Spurs struggled through the remainder of the season, finishing a lowly 20-62, including 17-47 under Popovich, who is also the team’s executive vice president of basketball operations. But they struck it rich in the NBA Draft Lottery, coming away with the right to pick first in the 1997 NBA Draft. And as expected, Popovich chose Tim Duncan, the All-American from Wake Forest who teamed with Robinson to form a formidable Twin Towers. The Spurs soared to 56-26 in 1997-98, setting an NBA record for the greatest single-season turnaround in league history by winning 36 more games than the year before. San Antonio beat Phoenix in the first round of the playoffs but lost to Utah in five games in the Western Conference Semifinals. In 1998-99, the Spurs posted a league-best 37-13 record during the strike-shortened regular season and followed that up with a 15-2 mark in the playoffs, beating Minnesota 3-1 and then sweeping the Lakers and Portland before defeating New York 4-1 in the NBA Finals. Popovich, the longest tenured coach with the same team among the 122 NBA, NFL, NHL and MLB franchises, led the Spurs to their second NBA title in 2003 after posting a 60-22 record during the regular season. San Antonio defeated the New Jersey Nets, 4-2, in the NBA Finals. Popovich was named NBA Coach of the Year following the season. The Spurs gave Popovich his third NBA championship ring in 2005 after posting a 59-23 regular season record. San Antonio defeated the defending champs, Detroit Pistons, in seven games in the NBA Finals. After producing an NBA-high 63 victories during the 2005-06 campaign, Gregg Popovich (second from right) with Manu the Spurs won their fourth title under Popovich in ‘06-07 by sweeping the Cleveland Cavaliers in Ginobili, Tim Duncan and Tony Parker and the four games. Popovich is the only active NBA coach with multiple NBA titles and one of only four coaches in NBA history with at least 100 playoff victories, joining Phil Jackson, Pat Riley and Larry 2007 NBA Championship Trophy. Popovich has Brown. won four NBA titles. Popovich has also been a champion off the court. In 1991, he teamed with Frank Martin to create the Spurs/Pizza Hut Drug-Free Youth Basketball League. Currently, the league plays at 75 locations in and around San Antonio. More than 20,000 boys and girls – ages 7 to 16 – played in the league in 2002-03 (Spurs guard Devin Brown played in the Spurs Drug-Free League). Prior to each game, every participant takes the Drug-Free League pledge, promising to remain drug and alcohol free while showing good sportsmanship and fair play. Popovich, active in the San Antonio community, was also honored by President George Bush in February 1992 with a “Daily Point of Light Award” for the Spurs Drug Free Basketball League. He was also named a distinguished graduate by the Academy in 2008.

MEDIA INFORMATION INTERVIEWS

CREDENTIALS

Players: Air Force players are available for interviews any day the team practices. Players will not be available on non-practice days. All interviews will be scheduled before practice (primarily between 1:45 and 2:30 p.m.). If the requested player is not available before practice, all efforts will be made to conduct the interview after practice. Please request each player at least one day in advance so the player can be properly notified.

General: All credentials must be requested from the athletic communications office no later than noon (MT) the day before the game. No credentials will be issued the day of the game. Visiting team media are urged to request credentials through the team they cover and credentials will be distributed in advance of the game. All other credentials will be left at the Media Entrance Will Call the day of the game.

Head Coach Dave Pilipovich: Air Force head coach Dave Pilipovich will be available twice every week, on Mondays and Fridays between 1:00 and 1:30 p.m., during the regular season. The Friday session may be changed to another day due to that week’s game or travel schedule. Beginning Jan. 6, the Monday session will move to 11 a.m. for the Winter Sports Press Conference.

Internet Sites: Only accredited news agency internet sites will be granted game credentials or access to Air Force student-athletes and coaches. All inquiries must be made through the athletic communications office. Accreditation will be determined on a case-bycase basis, but all sites must have a recognized news affiliation.

Air Force basketball practices: All Air Force basketball practices are open to the media. However, any media wishing to attend practice MUST contact Jerry Cross in the athletic communications office at least one day in advance to find out the practice schedule. Contacting athletes, coaches and staff: All communications with Air Force cadet-athletes, coaches and staff must go through the athletic communications office – ABSOLUTELY NO EXCEPTIONS. Failure to follow this policy will result in loss of credentials and access to Air Force athletes, coaches and staff. Cadet-athlete’s private phone numbers and email addresses will not be issued to the media. Air Force cadet-athletes have also been instructed not to accept calls from media without prior notification from athletic communications.

Photo Credentials: Freelance photography credentials will not be issued unless the photographer has a request on company letterhead from an accredited media outlet. No credentials will be issued to “assistants” - NO EXCEPTIONS.

DIRECTIONS TO CLUNE ARENA From Colorado Springs - Take I-25 North to the North Entrance of the Air Force Academy (Exit 156B). Take the second left (south) on Parade Loop. Take the first right (west) on Field House Drive. The first building on the right is the Cadet Field House. Enter the parking lot on the east side and follow the road around the north side of the building to the media parking lot, which is on the west side of the Field House. From Denver - Take I-25 South to the North Entrance of the Air Force Academy (Exit 156B). Take the second left (south) on Parade Loop. Take the first right (west) on Field House Drive. The first building on the right is the Cadet Field House. Enter the parking lot on the east side and follow the road around the north side of the building to the media parking lot, which is on the west side of the Field House.

Single-Game Credentials: Single-game credentials will not be issued to any local media outlet that has not regularly covered Air Force or the competing team, unless space allows. Season Credentials: Media outlets must regularly cover Air Force (attend weekly media teleconferences and/or games) to be eligible for a season credential. If media outlets request credentials for staff members (columnists, anchors, etc.) that are not always able to attend and that staff member wishes to attend a particular game, they must call at least 48 hours before the game to inform the athletic communications staff for seating purposes. A season credential does not always reserve media members a seat on press row. Parking: Media parking passes are issued for football and men’s basketball only and are on a space-available basis. Media with season credentials and visiting media will have priority in this case. Please contact Jerry Cross in the athletic communications office to obtain a parking pass. Scouting Credentials: Professional scouting credentials are issued and seats provided as space allows. These requests must be made in advance on company letterhead.

MEDIA ENTRANCE WILL CALL The media entrance to Clune Arena is on the west side of the Cadet Field House in close proximity to the media parking area. There is a “Will Call” desk for media credentials only at the media entrance.

AIR FORCE BASE SECURITY The Air Force Academy is located on an active military base. The athletic department facilities are best located by the media by entering the base through the North Entrance (See directions above). If at any time the base security is heightened, media may lose their access to the base without an escort.
