Million dollar grant received for trauma research

Committee and community members talk arts Marissa Novel Daily Egyptian

Carbondale is no stranger to the arts. Many community members think more can be done to familiarize Carbondale residents and people from other areas with the city’s creative offerings. The Downtown Advisory Committee had its sixth meeting to discuss arts and entertainment at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday at the Varsity Center for the Arts.

The meeting began with several speakers. Peter Piermann, president of the Varsity Center for the Arts Board, said the city’s art programs would benefit from working together. “The coalition would consist of different groups coordinating an effort to showcase the arts and entertainment in Carbondale and the surrounding area,” he said. “It is our belief that much can be accomplished if we work together instead

of working individually.” Trent Stevens, a committee member, said although there are varieties of community events, more can be done to invite people to the area, especially the addition of a family-friendly entertainment venue rather than relying on bars and restaurants for entertainment.

Bras boost breast cancer compassion

Marissa Novel Daily Egyptian

Trauma, especially in children, hides in deep, unknown areas of the mind. Social work graduate students will soon enter a program designed to uncover specialized treatments for this issue. Twenty-three students in the School of Social Work master’s program will receive a $10,000 stipend for 16 weeks of half-day training sessions on therapy for youth affected by trauma in January. The fellowship is part of a three-year, $1.18 million Behavioral Health Workforce Education Training award Dhrubodhi Mukherjee received from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Mukherjee, associate professor and undergraduate program director for the School of Social Work, said the program, designed to create and test curriculum, will primarily focus on treating trauma in children, adolescents and adults ages 18 to 25. “Trauma can be caused by direct brain injuries, and trauma can be very psychological in nature,” he said. “The symptoms of trauma mimics the symptoms of mental illness, so something such as depression can be a chronic mental illness or can be a temporary manifestation of trauma.” Mukherjee said it is important for social workers, psychologists and psychiatrists to differentiate between medical and traumatic mental illness. “If children are experiencing trauma, it’s better to address that. Especially children who have domestic violence, sexual abuse and child abuse situations,” he said. “Trauma needs to be identified and resolved at the beginning rather than having that person live a traumatic life for a long period of time.” Mukherjee said one of the program sessions directed toward younger children will include play therapy, which often results in children mimicking traumatic experiences during playtime. “You let the children play and you see the content of the way they’re playing,” he said. “You can see it clearly when they reenact trauma because memory of trauma is visual, it’s never encrypted as words or as voices.” Mukherjee said it is also important to include transitional youth, or young people 18 to 25, in research rather than only populations 18 and younger. “This transitional youth is a very important, very critical population we don’t have much research on,” he said. “These are the people who are going through a lot of identity issues and economic issues, and suicide rates are highest among them.” Mukherjee said he conceptualized the program before applying for the grant and he will help train students and evaluate data collected in spring. He said the fellowship will increase to 29 students next year and 33 the final year. Nikole Justice, a graduate student from Freeman Spur, said she is planning on entering the program and is looking forward to the training opportunities it offers. Please see GRANT · 2

Students participated in a contest Wednesday to display bra art and raise breast cancer awareness. The Student Health Center hosted the seventh annual “Be my Bra” contest where Registered Student Organizations and Greek organizations came together to express sentiments and experiences with breast cancer through art. Some talked about supporting those with breast cancer or the cause in general. Others talked about early detection and treatment. Andy Morgan, acting assistant dean of students and one of the contest’s founders, said one of his motivations for helping start it was that his mother is a survivor of breast cancer. He said the contest was the collaborative effort of SIU and Southern Illinois Healthcare. He also said the important part of the contest was not the contest itself. “If you’re going to compete over this, great, but the main thing is to inspire and reward others for being supportive of someone who has had breast cancer,” Morgan said. Dawn Null, wellness coordinator with the Student Health and Wellness Center, said she was excited to organize the contest

because it follows an issue that resonates with many people. “Cancer is close to many of our hearts because almost everyone knows someone who has or has had breast cancer,” Null said. Null said organizers of the contest did not want it to be a fundraiser. “It brings about a lot of awareness about breast cancer among college women,” Null said. Dr. Nova Foster, an oncologist with SIH and one of the judges, said breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in women and the second most common cause of death by cancer. She said breast cancer does occur in women in their 20s and it is important for women to be comfortable and know what their normal breasts feel like. When breast cancer is caught early, it is much more curable and the prognosis is much better,” Foster said. Foster said she was asked to judge and was happy to participate. “Breast cancer is what I do. It’s a cause that is very near and dear to me both professionally and personally,” Foster said Dr. Kelli Webb, a plastic reconstructive surgeon with SIH, said in a speech it was important to educate young women about

self-examination and early detection because starting earlier can save lives. “Cancer does not care how old you are,” Webb said. Webb said she likes to take care of women who have had breast cancer and to ensure they feel whole. Delores Barfield, a sophomore from St. Louis studying animal production with Sigma Alpha, an agricultural sorority at the university which placed second, said women should be aware of their bodies and comfortable with examinations. “You should be in tune with your body,” Barfield said. “You should be the first to notice something is wrong.” Chloe Mccluskey, a freshman studying Physical therapy, said she appreciated the awareness the event planned to spread. “Through the creativity of so many students it shows just what precaution should be taken,” Mccluskey said. Morgan said he attends the event annually and he was touched by sentiments expressed by students presenting bras. “A bra is something of support and the stories those students told were so impactful,” Morgan said.

“I’ll be graduating in May, and being able to graduate with this program, I’ll be able to show potential employers that not only do I have experience with curriculum, but I have training and have been able to implement the curriculum in the training,” she said. Justice said while working at the treatment center Gateway Foundation Alcohol Drug Treatment experienced working with traumatized youth. “The need is there and just because we’re a rural area, doesn’t mean it’s not here,” she said. “I think a lot of rural places aren’t educated as well as others so this brings in that source of education and training that we may not have otherwise.” Downstate Illinois was the only region in the state whose child intake into the Illinois Department of Child and Family Services positively increased from 2000 to 2010 according to data collected by Dana

Weiner, a policy fellow of Chapin Hall at the University of Chicago. Elaine Jurkowski, interim director of and professor in the School of Social work, said the program can positively affect the Carbondale community. “There will be a huge turnover of people who work in childhood and family services in the next five years,” she said. “Our vision is that we will help prepare that next wave of the workforce.” Jurkowski said many rural communities have large populations of untrained professionals. “At this point, we get a lot of people coming back to do their master’s work because agencies can get paid more money for delivering services that are specialized,” she said. “But there’s a real lack of child psychiatry in the area, and a real lack of understanding of children’s mental health issues in rural communities in general.” Jurkowski said the university has received many grants in the past, this being the largest. She said she has reviewed grant applications from other

schools for other programs before, and many aspects of SIU’s application set it apart from other schools. “We’re doing this in partnership with the School of Medicine and they have a very strong training record in this area,” she said. “We also have two very large grants from the Department of Children and Family Services.” Jurkowski said the two grants, designed to help kids from dangerous, impoverished areas and provide foster care training, amount to $8 million. She said they have given the university a good track record in grant handling, which influences being accepted for future awards. Jurkowski said out of the 30 grants and 500 eligible schools, the university and Jane Addams College of Social Work at University of Illinois Chicago were the only Illinois schools to receive the grant.

Ferguson police chief disputes CNN report on his resignation Stephen Deere

St. Louis Post-Dispatch

Ferguson Police Chief Thomas Jackson said late Tuesday that he has no plans to resign, despite a CNN report to the contrary. “It’s absolutely not true. Nobody has asked me to resign, nor have I been fired,” Jackson said. He added: “If I do resign, it will be my own choice.” CNN’s report cited unnamed “government officials familiar with the discussions ongoing between local, state and federal officials” as saying Jackson is expected to step down. Mayor James Knowles III confirmed that Jackson has not resigned. “He’s stayed strong with us till this point,” Knowles said by text. “Don’t see that changing.” Knowles also said no state or federal officials had asked the city to consider disbanding its police force. Assistant St. Louis County Police Chief Kenneth Cox said Tuesday night that he was unaware of any formal discussions about the county taking over policing duties in Ferguson.

“This is a decision that would be up to the city of Ferguson,” Cox said. “I definitely don’t know what the future holds, but there have been no contracts signed and no formal movement from the Ferguson City Council.” While Cox said that such changes can “come together quickly,” he noted that “they are typically negotiated between government entities, and we haven’t gotten there yet.” Earlier in the day, the office of Gov. Jay Nixon was asked if anyone there had been in such discussions about the Ferguson Police Department. A spokesperson said the office had no comment. Jackson has been Ferguson police chief since 2010. Before that, he had been with the St. Louis County Police Department since 1979. Since the Aug. 9 shooting of Michael Brown by Ferguson police Officer Darren Wilson, protesters and others have often called for Jackson’s resignation as well as Wilson’s arrest. The shooting has prompted

multiple protests that have sometimes turned into violent clashes between demonstrators and police. And some fear that if a St. Louis County grand jury doesn’t charge Wilson in Brown’s death, there will be further unrest. The officer-involved killing prompted the City Council on Tuesday to call on state leaders to pass new laws addressing officerinvolved shootings. The council unanimously approved two resolutions. One would establish a clear standard for how officer involved shootings are investigated. “People want a uniform process,” Knowles said. The other resolution would mandate that law enforcement agencies report every officerinvolved shooting and the circumstances surrounding it. The resolutions carry little legal weight but are meant to send a message to lawmakers. “This is how we feel,” Knowles said. “We are asking the state Legislature to address these issues.”

Curtis Conley, the president of Carbondale Music Coalition, said Carbondale has always been a music town, and is the only decent music location between St. Louis and Nashville, Tenn. Caylan Hill, the talent buyer and event manager for Hangar 9, said he uses an online ticketing service, Ticketfly, that tracks buyer addresses when they purchase presale tickets. “Over the last year, we’ve had 20 percent of the people purchasing tickets to events at our place having a Carbondale address,” he said. “That means 80 percent of the people coming to see an event at the Hangar are coming from

outside Carbondale which means new money.” Hill said economic growth is another result the attention Hangar 9’s acts bring from other regions. Visual art was also discussed. Marie Bukowski, director for the School of Art and Design, discussed the role of arts in small towns and cities she’s lived in such as Ruston, La. and Pittsburgh. Bukowski said creating public art installations would be relatively easy, especially because the university offers black and metalsmithing degree programs. She said several students have expressed interest in beautifying the downtown area. Many community members expressed their interest in new

arts and entertainment ideas such as concert series, an interpretive Buckminster Fuller dome downtown, a multi-use year-round farmers market facility and a skate park. Committee members expressed ideas such as considering food as entertainment, street performers, partnerships with the university and a theatre able to host international films. The next advisory meeting on economic, civic and neighborhood viability will be at 6:30 p.m. Nov. 12 at the Carbondale High School.

SPREAD & Aaron Kamm and the One Drops collab at Hangar 9 for Halloween Chase Myers Daily Egyptian

The reputation Carbondale has garnered on Halloween over the last couple decades has been somewhat of a rollercoaster when it comes parties and behavior. It was not until last year’s Halloween weekend that businesses on the strip were allowed to open their doors, ending a 13-year hiatus. Hangar 9, being one of the area’s more popular live-music venues, is promoting a positive and safe atmosphere this year for students to have a good time, listen to good music and leave any negative connotations about the holiday in the past. This year’s celebration will feature a Little Shop of Horrors Halloween Collaboration between SPREAD & Aaron Kamm, and the One Drops – two acts that have proven successful at the venue. The night will consist of drinks, performances from the two bands as well as a traditional Hangar 9 costume contest. “I feel like we are still trying to rebuild it,” Caylan Hill, booking manager at Hangar 9 said. “We’ve been given the opportunity by the city to resume business and we are going to 100 percent take advantage of that, not in a negative way … but 100 percent in a positive way, which is what we always try to do.”

year at Hangar was large and they are trying to match that excitement this weekend, he said. “I think we provided a great time and great entertainment for cial Halloween,” he said. Aaron Kamm and the One Drops, as well as SPREAD are two bands that have drawn a large crowd at Hangar in the past. SPREAD cial Halloween events and brought a large crowd, and Aaron Kamm sold out the venue earlier this year. “You’re going to get your money’s worth,” he said. “You’re going to see two great, phenomenal acts who basically got their start in Carbondale or rose up and two acts that we feel our crowd really loves.” The members of SPREAD, a Chicago-based psychedelic rock band, are Saluki alumni so they are familiar with the reputation of Halloween and also feel the show at Hangar will provide a positive atmosphere, bassist Colin Finn and guitarist Dave Petrizzo said. “I would hope that there is a mutual excitement in the air, as excited as we are to celebrate on actual Halloween as opposed to doing some Finn said. “It’s Halloween. It’s one

of my favorite holidays.” The two performing bands will be doing a stacked set, which means the bands will be playing two full alternating sets. Aaron Kamm and the One Drops SPREAD second, followed by another set from each band, Finn said. “I guess the idea behind that was that we like that band a lot and I think that it’s something different,” Petrizzo said. “We’ve never done that before.” The band expects a positive response from the crowd regardless of how large it may be. “I think it’s going to be a good party,” Finn said. “With the music and all the people that are involved and obviously Hangar being such a fun place … there’s nothing but the best for good vibes.” The good times will be present in Carbondale for the weekend, as long as the atmosphere is right, Hill said. “I think everyone should stay positive, support the community, support the university, support the town, have respect, take pride in where they are and all this bad negativity and connotation won’t hover around,” Hill said. “Treat [Carbondale] like it’s your own, because in reality it is.”

NCAA suspends Georgia RB Gurley an additional two games Teddy Greenstein Chicago Tribune

Georgia tailback Todd Gurley must sit out two more games as punishment for accepting money from memorabilia dealers, the NCAA has ruled. UGA plans to appeal the decision, which came from the NCAA’s reinstatement committee late Tuesday afternoon. UGA and NCAA officials have declined comment. Coach Mark Richt addressed the ruling Wednesday during his regular appearance on the SEC coaches’ teleconference call. “Right now we’re really not worried about (the ruling); we’re just focused on getting ready for this game,” Richt said of Saturday’s game against Florida in Jacksonville. “That’s really all we can do right now.” The NCAA determined that Gurley must sit our a total of four games or 30 percent of the season as per bylaws for accepting more than $3,000 in cash from multiple individuals for autographed memorabilia and other items over two years, according to the NCAA’s news release on the case. Gurley already sat out the Bulldogs’ last two games, against Missouri and Arkansas. He will now miss Saturday’s game against Florida and the Nov. 8 game

against Kentucky, unless UGA’s appeal is successful. Gurley also will be required repay a portion of the money received to a charity of his choice and complete 40 hours of community service as additional conditions for his reinstatement. He would then be eligible to play on Nov. 15 against Auburn in Athens. However, there remains a chance that Gurley could be reinstated before Saturday. The NCAA indicated that Georgia’s appeal would be “reviewed this week.” The committee can reduce or remove the conditions the staff has imposed but cannot increase them, according to NCAA statutes. “We can only control certain things,” Richt said. “The goal is to control how hard we practice and how hard we prepare. That’s been our focus all season long. Maybe a little bit more in the last couple of ballgames. But when there are questions and there are things swirling around that could become a distraction, I think our players have done a pretty good job of worrying about things they can control and doing what they can do to get a victory.” A successful appeal would seem unlikely considering the NCAA’s assertion in its release that it showed

leniency to UGA because of its compliant response to the allegations. “Additional withholding was strongly considered because the violations occurred over multiple years with multiple individuals and the student received extensive rules education about the prohibition of receiving payment for autographs,” the NCAA said in its statement. “However, the university’s due diligence in its investigation and the student’s full disclosure of his involvement in the violations were factors in not imposing a more severe withholding condition.” Gurley, a 6-foot-1, 226-pound junior, was considered the Heisman Trophy frontrunner when UGA first suspended him on Oct. 9. Despite missing the last two games, he still leads the SEC in rushing with 773 yards and eight touchdowns. It’s the second time in four years that a star Georgia player has been forced to miss games for accepting improper benefits via the sports memorabilia trade. Wide receiver A.J. Green also missed four games to start the 2010 season because an investigation revealed he had sold his autographed UGA Independence Bowl jersey to an individual with alleged ties to an agent for $1,000.

Djimde finds delayed, fresh start with SIU

Aaron Graff Daily Egyptian

Old ladies can start leaving SIU coach Barry Hinson alone because his team will be taller this year. Junior center Ibby Djimde is 6-foot8 and 255 pounds. He transferred to SIU from Illinois after his sophomore year. As a result, he was forced to sit out of competition last season. This season the roster has five eligible players 6-foot-7 or taller compared to two players last year. “I’m glad I don’t have to go to Kroger or Schnucks anymore and have all these little old ladies coming up to me and saying, ‘Hey, we need to get some big guys,’” Hinson said. Hinson is confident Djimde will earn plenty of playing time this season because sophomore forward Bola Olaniyan finds himself in foul trouble often. “[Djimde] better play a lot,” Hinson said. “Bola is going to get in foul trouble, we’ve had three major injuries in practice and they’re all because of Bola. Bola is going to get in foul trouble. Bola is going to hurt somebody. We have to have somebody that, when Bola gets in foul trouble, comes in to relieve him. I think Ibby is that guy.” Last season Olaniyan played in 30 games including 12 starts. He averaged

3.4 points and 4.9 rebounds per game. Davante Drinkard averaged 2 rebounds in 30 games from the power forward and center spot. Olaniyan said he is not worried about Djimde taking playing time from him because he is more excited about playing with him. Hinson said Djimde could potentially even start, and that there is competition among the big men on the squad. Djimde said he transferred because he did not get a lot of playing time with a new Illinois coaching staff. “Every time I came to practice, I was ready to go,” Djimde said. “Sometimes life is not fair.” Djimde said transferring was one of the best decisions he made and he learned a lot of plays last year in practice from the sidelines. “It’s going to take Ibby a while,” Hinson said. “He hasn’t played basketball for literally two years. It will be a time process for him to get going.” Hinson said Djimde’s roommate, junior guard Anthony Beane will have to be a leader on the team. Beane said Djimde is one of the better big men on the team. “Playing with him is great because he always has a positive attitude,” Beane said. “He’s never

one of those guys who puts his head down and pouts. He’s always encouraging his teammates.” Djimde said he is excited to play

again and his body feels as good as it has because of strength training. “I want to give all I’ve got,” Djimde said.

Saluki linebacking Men’s basketball team core built on depth can monitor how Brent Meske Daily Egyptian

Injuries and position changes have put two of SIU football’s leading tacklers together as inside linebacker. Sophomore Chase Allen and senior Victor Burnett both have different backgrounds that made them two of the top tacklers on the team this year. Allen is first and Burnett sixth on the team in total tackles with 66 and 40, respectively. Inside linebacker coach Todd Auer said he still expects more out of the two. “To me, they are not impressive yet,” he said. “They are making some plays, but as a unit we need to make more impact plays.” Allen played outside linebacker until spring practices, but moved to inside linebacker because of a lack of depth in the position. “We knew we were going to lose Carl Bivens this year, so I moved over to inside linebacker,” he said. “I played there in high school so we figured I would be the most natural switch into the position.” Auer said Allen’s speed is uncommon for his size, which sets him apart. The coach always wants more out of his players, but said Allen is performing right where he expected. “He could be a great player, but he’s not there yet,” Auer said. “He’s solid, but he has to learn to finish things better and understand the position better. He’s a young guy, and he can be a really big impact guy. It’s endless for what he can do.” He called Allen very coachable. Allen said he has never really thought about how good he can be, but wants to improve over the next two years. “I need to be more physical, and everything else will come with experience,” he said. While Allen is fast and agile, Burnett is a physical linebacker who has lost mobility from knee injuries. After being redshirted as a freshman at the University of Washington and then not playing his sophomore year, Burnett transferred to SIU. He played in five games for the Salukis in 2012, before he suffered a season-ending knee injury, which led to

him miss the entire 2013 season. Burnett said his plan was to transfer from University of Washington to San Diego State, but the NCAA told him if he did that he would have to sit out the following year. “I was already a year out of football,” he said. “I did not want to sit out another year and I knew if I dropped down a division, I could play right away. I visited SIU and ended up liking it here. It was an opportunity to grow up and live somewhere other than the west coast. It’s a completely different environment.” Auer said Burnett is the most physical linebacker on the team, and his football instincts set him apart. Burnett agreed. “Since the knee injuries, I’ve kind of lost agility,” he said. “I’m not able to move around people as easily, but with my physicality I’ll go right through linemen to make my plays.” Auer said the injuries leave Burnett a little stiffer and slower. He said he is happy Burnett has been able to stay healthy this season. The coaching staff saw him as a question mark in spring practices because his practice time was limited while he recovered. Burnett said he changed how he prepares since suffering the knee injuries. “Before the injuries I never really studied other people’s game film, just my own,” he said. “But with that extra time, I realized by studying other people’s game film I can put myself in the right position easier, which helps my game out.” Burnett has been a leading tackler on the team, despite not starting a game. He said he is not underused, and the inside linebackers rotate and end up playing equal amounts of time. “We don’t really focus on having starters. It doesn’t matter,” he said. “We all do what we can and end up getting our playing time.” Auer said Burnett is doing everything he can this season to bounce back from injury. “He hasn’t finished some plays, and there are a few mental mistakes, but he’s played about as well as you can expect after being out two years,” he said.

much heart it has Austin Miller Daily Egyptian

An SIU coach is looking at what it means to give 100 percent. The men’s basketball team has been wearing heart rate monitors during practice and conditioning to gauge the players’ performances. Entering his third season as head coach, Barry Hinson said he has had the idea to use heart monitors for a couple years but didn’t have the money to purchase them. After several fundraisers, he bought monitors for all 14 players, which cost around $25,000. Hinson, known for wearing his heart on his sleeve, is trying to examine the hearts of his players. He said the monitors have given him more information than just the confirmation of players’ work ethics. “To me, it’s almost like having a human fuel tank,” Hinson said. “You can know exactly how much more you can push them and what they can do. It’s fun to watch those guys during practice. They’ll run over there and check and say, ‘Hey, what’s my heart rate?’ They know when they’re going hard and when they’re not.” Matt Bertsch, graduate assistant strength and conditioning coach, receives the data on his computer as he sits courtside. The working heart rates of each player appear instantly. He said the data is a good measure for the workouts and prescribed practice regimens. “I hope it reveals that what we do works,” Bertsch said. “Once we have collected enough information, we can build on what we already do.” Bertsch said the data will be important when the Salukis face the demands of conference play, which begins against Missouri State on Dec. 31.

Freshman guard Chaz Glotta said the monitors irritated him at first, but he has since embraced the device because it benefits the team. “Say we’re in a tournament and we have three games back-to-back-to-back. It will help the preservation of our team,” Glotta said. “It will help us perform to the best of our abilities and not drain our guys and make them go past what they can accomplish.” Glotta, a native of St. Louis, said the monitors help keep him motivated during practice.

“It keeps it [in] the back of your mind that you can’t slack off,” he said. “It’s a tool that really puts an emphasis on yourself. You can’t take a play off because the coaches will know.” Hinson said the monitors have been a success so far, and he’s glad the athletes have supported his idea. “The kids have a saying: ‘The ball don’t lie,’” Hinson said. “I have a new saying: The heart rate monitor don’t lie.” For Hinson, this method is another way for him to continue to evolve as a coach and think outside of the box. “I know people say I’m old-school and I don’t have a problem with that,” he said. “But I don’t want to be old-school when it comes to basketball. I want to try new things.”

Saluki basketball future better than present Tyler Davis Daily Egyptian

SIU men’s basketball ended last season with a surprising run in the Missouri Valley Conference tournament that ended in heartbreak. This year’s team is looking to build on that success, though it will be missing a big piece. With the loss of Desmar Jackson, who is playing professionally in Argentina, the team will have to make up for the absence of its best scorer and defender. However, the team has added six freshmen, who range in sizes from 5-foot-11 to 6-foot-7. With that athleticism comes inexperience. Coach Barry Hinson said at the team’s media day he likes how the team responds to coaching, but immaturity may be a recurring theme this season. “We’ve got six [freshmen]. I think all of them can make an impact at any time. All of them can go brain dead at any time,” Hinson said. “They’re going to drive you nuts and they’re going to drive me nuts, because of their lack of maturity.” The team has one senior and four juniors, making a majority of the squad underclassmen. Hinson said the Salukis will be one of the youngest teams in the NCAA. For some teams, a young team could bring leadership issues. Hinson said the Salukis’ leadership is in good hands. “Anthony Beane improved so much. Every huddle, every timeout, he’s taking charge of everything,” Hinson said. “Everybody around here loves

Jalen [Pendleton]. When we’re down on the practice floor—Jalen’s leading, Anthony’s leading, what I have noticed lately, Bola’s [Olaniyan] leading, and that’s been real special.” Beane, who nearly matched Jackson’s scoring in MVC play, said he does not focus on filling the offensive void left by Jackson. Instead, he said he is focused on being a leader, and the real challenge for the Salukis is going to be stopping opponents from scoring. “I’m not worried about scoring,” he said. “I’ve been here three years, I know what coach expects. The challenge for us is going to be defensive. How many stops can we get?” One of the players who said he improved on both sides of the ball is redshirt freshman K.C. Goodwin. Goodwin sat out last season while he worked on his game and he said it has helped. “I had some mishaps, had to work on some flaws in my game,” Goodwin said. “I was able to see what I needed to do to get on the floor. My on-ball defense is better, help defense too. I’m knocking down more shots, cutting down on turnovers.” Hinson said Goodwin will have a bigger role and he will be one of the primary point guards he’ll use this season. Hinson also said he will not pin high expectations on this young group of players. Saluki fans would welcome any improvement but the coach’s expectations were measured, as he wouldn’t ensure a

winning record. “I don’t think we have to [have a winning record],” Hinson said. “I’m not going to do that to a team with six freshmen and three sophomores. There’s no way in hell I’m walking in a room and saying we gotta have a winning record.”

However, with the influx of athletic talent, there is a possibility the team can be one or two games better than last year. Hinson said this team is more tailored to his style of coaching and what he wants to do as a coach. Hinson said he will be a “mama bear” to the young team, and one of his ways of

defending his players is making sure there are no added distractions. The destination, in two or three years, is the real reason for optimism from this group. 2014-15 could be another bumpy ride. It all begins 7 p.m. at SIU Arena on Saturday against the University of St. Mary’s.
