John D. Swofford acc commissioner

N

ow in his 15th year as Commissioner, and just the fourth in Atlantic Coast Conference history, John Swofford has made a dramatic impact on the ACC and college athletics. Swofford has built his career on the appropriate balance of academics, athletic achievement and integrity and is regarded as one of the top administrators in the NCAA. In addition to overseeing one of the nation’s largest athletic conferences, Swofford has been pivotal in positioning the Atlantic Coast Conference for the future.

VISION

• On September 18, 2011, on behalf of the league’s member institutions and the ACC Council of Presidents, Swofford introduced the University of Pittsburgh and Syracuse University as the newest members of the ACC. The additions further strengthen the league’s rich tradition of balancing academics and athletics while also enhancing the ACC’s reach into the states of New York and Pennsylvania.

• Swofford was instrumental in the enhancement of the league’s ACC Postgraduate Scholarship Awards program by ensuring that additional scholarship dollars are distributed to more student-athletes than at any point in the league’s history.

High School: Wilkes Central High School, 1967, North Wilkesboro, NC College: University of North Carolina, 1971 Morehead Scholarship Recipient • BA in Industrial Relations Graduate: Ohio University, 1973 • MEd. in Athletics Administration

• The long-time partnership between the ACC and United Way has flourished under Swofford’s leadership. His commitment to public service and volunteerism across the member institutions has been highlighted through the league’s Public Service Announcements. Across the collegiate landscape, the relationship with United Way is unique to the ACC and its member institutions.

• In July of 2010, Swofford’s leadership and negotiating skills helped the conference secure a new 12-year multimedia rights agreement with ESPN. The extensive television package begins with the 2011-12 academic year and will more than double television revenue to the 12 member institutions.

In addition to reaching new heights financially, ACC content will now be televised more, both regionally and nationally, than at any point in league history, while also best positioning the conference within the continuous, ever-changing world of technology.

• Under Swofford’s direction this past year, the ACC launched its “Community Connections” outreach program which sponsored educational and mentoring activities along with donating books to the communities in which the league holds its conference championships. The initiative was created to teach life lessons to elementary and middle school students by the ACC’s student-athletes visiting local schools to discuss topics such as the importance of healthy living and sportsmanship.

• In 2003, on behalf of the league’s member institutions and the ACC Council of Presidents, Swofford led the conference through expansion. In becoming a 12-member league, Swofford helped bring the ACC extended and enhanced exposure across television and national radio packages and strongly positioned it for the future.

• During Swofford’s first 15 years as Commissioner, ACC teams have won 54 national team titles and 1,580 ACC teams have participated in various NCAA championships - an average of more than 110 NCAA teams per year.

• The ACC showcased its inaugural Dr Pepper ACC Football Championship Game in 2005 to a sellout crowd. Now in its eighth year, the game will be played in Charlotte’s Bank of America Stadium for the third consecutive season. Since becoming Commissioner, Swofford has been responsible for securing increased bowl opportunities and for the second year, the ACC has agreements in place with nine bowls including the Discover Orange Bowl, home of the ACC Champion since 2006. Highly respected by his peers, Swofford was a force in the development and growth of the Bowl Championship Series and is the only person to serve two terms as its coordinator.

• Under Swofford’s tenure, the prestigious ACC Men’s Basketball Tournament has traveled to many dynamic cities within the footprint of the league including Atlanta, Ga., Washington DC and Tampa, Fla., in addition to the traditional stops in Greensboro and Charlotte. The 2001 ACC Tournament in Atlanta set NCAA attendance records for single session (40,083), per session average (36,505) and total attendance (182,525).

• In the sport of basketball, Swofford was instrumental in creating the ACC/ Big Ten Challenge that began in men’s basketball in 1999. Then in 2007, the two conferences hosted the inaugural ACC/Big Ten Women’s Basketball Challenge.

• In his first year as Commissioner, Swofford placed an added emphasis on the development of women’s basketball in the ACC with the hiring of an Associate Commissioner for Women’s Basketball to oversee all aspects of the sport on both a conference and national level.

Personal Information

• A long-time advocate of the importance of academics and student-athlete welfare, Swofford stimulated the formation of the league’s first-ever ACC Student-Athlete Advisory Committee. This group of current ACC studentathletes gives the conference direct feedback on their experiences competing at the highest level of college athletics.

ATHLETIC EXCELLENCE

• In the 2010-11 Division I Learfield Sports Directors’ Cup Standings, the ACC was the only conference with four schools in the Top 10; one of two leagues with five members in the Top 20 and one of only three conferences with all of its members in the Top 75. This past year marks the 10th consecutive year that the ACC has placed four or more teams in the Top 30.

• In football, at least seven ACC teams have earned bowl bids in each of the last five seasons. In 2008, the conference set an NCAA record when 10 of its 12 teams (83%) participated in bowl play.

• During his tenure, the ACC has won five NCAA Men’s Basketball titles, more than any other conference. In addition, the league was represented by three of its women’s basketball programs in the 2006 NCAA Women’s Basketball Final Four. In that same year, it was an all-ACC final as the conference claimed its second NCAA Women’s Basketball National title.

A native of North Wilkesboro, NC, Swofford was a Morehead Scholar at the University of North Carolina and played on UNC’s 1971 ACC Football Championship team. He received his Masters of Education in Athletic Administration from Ohio University and then began his career at the University of Virginia in 1973. He returned to his alma mater in 1976 and became the school’s athletic director on May 1, 1980. At the age of 31, he was the youngest major college Athletics Director in the nation at the time and served as its Director of Athletics from 1980-1997. UNC’s athletic program led the league in both ACC and NCAA Championships during Swofford’s tenure as Athletic Director.

John and his wife Nora reside in Greensboro, NC, and together they have three children: Amie, Chad and Autumn, who is married to Sherman Wooden. Autumn and Sherman welcomed Maya, their first child, to the family in April of 2010.

The Atlantic Coast Conference

A tradition of

6 2012 ACC Women’s Basketball Tournament

... Then, Now and Always.

The Tradition

Consistency. It is the mark of true excellence in any endeavor. However, in today’s intercollegiate athletics, competition has become so balanced and so competitive that it is virtually impossible to maintain a high level of consistency Yet the Atlantic Coast Conference has defied the odds. Now in its 59th year of competition, the ACC has long enjoyed the reputation as one of the strongest and most competitive intercollegiate conferences in the nation.

And that is not mere conjecture, the numbers support it.

Since its inception in 1953, ACC schools have captured 123 national championships, including 65 in women’s competition and 58 in men’s. In addition, NCAA individual titles have gone to ACC student-athletes 140 times in men’s competition and 99 times in women’s action Since 1977, when the league adopted women’s basketball, a tradition of excellence was established. The 200506 season marked the first time in NCAA history that a conference sent three teams to the same Final Four.

The title game pitted an automatic ACC winner as second-seeded Maryland faced No. 1 seed Duke. The Terrapins claimed their first national title in school history and the league’s second with a thrilling 78-75 overtime game at TD Garden in Boston, Mass., on April 4, 2006. Following the 2006-07 season, Duke became the first ACC team and only the 14th in NCAA history to finish a regular season undefeated (290), while 34 wins for North Carolina

founding of the acc, may 8, 1953

marked the most in program history The 2010-11 season was no different in the continuation towards excellence as the ACC was represented by at least six teams in the NCAA Women’s Basketball Tournament Field of 64 for the ninth straight year. The ACC was one of only two leagues (Big East) to place six or more teams in the 2011 Big Dance, while all six ACC teams selected were tabbed top five seeds – a first since 1996. The addition of two programs to the WNIT gave the ACC eight postseason teams for the eighth time overall, seventh consecutive, and eighth time in the last 12 years Duke, which won the school’s seventh ACC Women’s Basketball Tournament title and its second-consecutive, earned a No. 2 seed in the Philadelphia region. The bid gave Duke its leaguebest 17th straight NCAA Tournament appearance and 18th overall. Joining the Blue Devils among the top three seeds selected for the 2011 NCAA Tournament were Florida State and

Miami, which advanced to the WNIT Championship game one year ago.

Miami’s No. 3 NCAA seed was the second-best seed in program history behind the No. 2 seed earned by the 1992 Hurricanes, who reached the Sweet 16, that season In addition to Duke, Florida State and Miami, the ACC was represented in the 2011 NCAA Tournament by Georgia Tech, Maryland and North Carolina. Boston College and Virginia received bids in the 2011 Women’s National Invitation Tournament Duke and North Carolina were the only two ACC squads to advance to the 2011 NCAA Regionals. Duke made its 13th appearance in an NCAA Regional over the last 14 years and earned its ninth regional final appearance out of the last 14 years and the second under head coach Joanne P. McCallie.

Overall, ACC’s women’s basketball programs continue to rank among the best in the country in terms of the postseason tournaments, having made 162 theACC.com

NCAA Tournament appearances and winning 215 games in the last 34 years, including 36 wins by a number one seed. In addition to accolades such as sending three teams to the same Final Four for the first time in NCAA history, the league boasts such national accomplishments as sending at least one team to the “Sweet 16” for 23 consecutive seasons and at least one to the Final Four in 11 of the last 23 seasons.

The conference has also made 14 trips to the Final Four in the last 30 seasons, with three teams finishing second and North Carolina and Maryland capturing National Championships in 1994 and 2006, respectively.

Since 1989, the ACC has placed 14 players on the All-Final Four team, including Maryland’s Laura Harper, who in ‘06 joined the ranks of Virginia’s Dawn Staley and North Carolina’s Charlotte Smith as the NCAA Tournament Most Outstanding Player.

In all, 69 ACC players have been named to the NCAA Tournament AllRegion teams with 10 Most Outstanding Player recognitions.

The ACC has won four of five ACCBig Ten Women’s Basketball Challenges since its inception. The Challenge has been extended until 2016.

Eight players have garnered National Player of the Year accolades, while competing under the ACC banner.

Staley was a back-to-back selection in ‘91 and ‘92, while Smith received the ESPY award in ‘95. Duke’s Alana Beard was recognized with National Player of the Year honors in both ‘03 and ‘04, and UNC’s Ivory Latta earned ESPN. com National Player of the Year in ‘06.

In 2007, Duke guard Lindsey Harding was named the Naismith Trophy Women’s College Player of the Year presented by AT&T. Five league coaches have combined to earn 13 National Coach of the Year honors. North Carolina’s Sylvia Hatchell, Virginia’s Debbie Ryan, former Maryland head coach Chris Weller, former Duke head coach Gail Goestenkors and the late NC State head coach Kay Yow all garnered national recognition Seven ACC representatives, including coaches and student-athletes, have participated in the Olympics. Yow, assisted by Hatchell, headed up the 1988 gold medal-winning Olympic team.

Maryland’s Vicky Bullett was a member of both the 1988 and 1992 Olympic teams. Staley, a three-time Olympian, struck gold in Athens as a member of the ‘04 title squad, while Goestenkors served as an assistant coach on the gold medal-winning team in Athens Since the inaugural season of the Women’s National Basketball Association (WNBA) in 1997, the ACC has been a recognizable presence in the league. Ninety (90) former ACC stars have played on the hardwood in the WNBA, while six former players have worked the sidelines as coaches.

Two ACC players were selected in the first round of the 2011 WNBA Draft, while seven players were taken overall.

The league’s record was set in 2006 and 2007, with nine taken in the respective professional drafts In addition, ACC women’s basketball players have earned first-team Academic All-America honors 11 times, including Virginia’s Val Ack-

erman – the former President of the WNBA in ‘81. In 1997, NC State’s Jennifer Howard was tabbed GTE CoSIDA Academic Player of the Year after posting a flawless 4.0 grade point average throughout her career. Seventeen players have earned ACC postgraduate scholarships, while three others were named NCAA Postgraduate Scholars.

Over the years, ACC women’s basketball teams have gained national recognition through their television exposure. The 2011-12 schedule features 52 televised games, making up 98 television appearances – the most in both categories since the inception of ACC women’s basketball. In addition, ESPN showed 23 ACC games on its network, including nine on ESPN2 - highlighted by a rematch of the 2011 ACC Championship game between North Carolina and Duke and the double-header of Miami at Maryland and Wake Forest at NC State as part of the network’s “Play 4Kay” campaign. ESPNU showcased seven contests, including Miami at Florida State and Florida State at Virginia, ESPN3 aired seven games, and 28 conference match-ups were shown on the league’s regional sports network (known as RSN), inclusive of four Friday night double-headers.

New for this season is the broadcast of all 11 games of the 2012 ACC Women’s Basketball Tournament to be held March 1-4 at the Greensboro Coliseum – the first round and quarterfinals on the regional sports network and three on ESPN networks the 2012 ACC Tournament semifinal games (ESPNU) and the Championship game (ESPN2).

ACC extends its reach Pitt and Syracuse bring league membership to 14

By David Droschak

W

ith one eye focused on the long-term viability of the conference and another on the nation’s everchanging intercollegiate athletic landscape, the ACC made a bold move this fall by expanding to 14 schools by adding Pittsburgh and Syracuse.

Less than a decade after Boston College, Miami and Virginia Tech joined the league, the Panthers and Orange provide the ACC with a pair of programs with extensive histories in football and basketball, along with exceptional, nationally-recognized institutions of higher learning.

“Our culture has long enjoyed a rich tradition of balancing academics and athletics, and the addition of Pitt and Syracuse further strengthens our league,” said ACC Commissioner John Swofford. “In addition, both universities will enhance the ACC’s reach into the states of New York and Pennsylvania and will geographically bridge our footprint between Maryland and Massachusetts. With the addition of these two schools, the ACC will cover virtually the entire eastern seaboard of the United States.”

Pittsburgh and Syracuse have produced some of the best football players in the history of the game, including Jim Brown (Syracuse), Dan Marino (Pitt), Tony Dorsett (Pitt) and Ernie Davis (Syracuse). In men’s basketball, the Panthers played in the Final Four in 2009 and are a rising basketball power, while the Orange won the 2003 national title behind Carmelo Anthony.

ACC teams will also soon be traveling to some of the nation’s top sporting venues, including the Carrier Dome (the largest on-campus basketball arena in the nation), Heinz Field and the $119 million Petersen Events Center on the campus of Pitt.

“It’s actually pretty exciting,” said Duke Hall of Fame basketball coach Mike Krzyzewski said. “I think it’s

great for our conference football-wise, even better basketball-wise. Over the last 25 years if you had to pick the best conference in basketball it is the ACC.” Former Georgia Tech women’s basketball coach Angus Berenato, who now heads up Pitt’s program, echoed Krzyzewski’s excitement.

“The ACC has a rich tradition of academics and athletics so Pitt will fit right in,” she said. “I was in the ACC for a long time and it will be nice to return to my roots. The leadership of the ACC has remained the same and Commissioner Swofford is innovative, dedicated and perceptive to the student-athlete’s needs.” Academically, the addition of the two schools gives the ACC 12 institutions in the top 75 of the U.S. News and World Report’s 2012 best universities rankings, while Pittsburgh and Syracuse already partner with various ACC schools in terms of national research grants, along with numerous health-related initiatives.

“Though we recruit students from all corners of the globe and have graduates living around the world, our principal focus always has been on the eastern seaboard, to be regularly competing up and down the Atlantic Coast from Boston to Miami,” said Pittsburgh Chancellor Mark Nordenberg. “This is a very big plus for Pitt as a university, particularly during this turbulent time in intercollegiate athletics.”

The two high-profile athletic programs in major media markets will provide the ACC with added value to its current TV package with partner ESPN. “We are pleased that Syracuse adds a tremendous New York City dimension to the ACC,” said Nancy Cantor, the school’s chancellor and president. “With 44,000 alumni and growing in that region, we have built a very strong identity and affinity there, and we’re excited to be able to bring ACC games to New York.” theACC.com

2010-11 in Review The 2010-11 academic year saw league teams capturing two more national team titles and 19 individual NCAA crowns. In all, the ACC has won 52 national team titles over the last 14 years and has won two or more NCAA titles in 28 of the past 30 years.

The ACC was the only conference in America to place four of its teams in the final Top 10 rankings of the 200910 Learfield Director’s Cup Standings-symbolic of the nation’s top overall programs--as Duke (5th), North Carolina (6th), Virginia (7th) and Florida State (9th) all were ranked nationally in the Top 10.

This past year also marked the 10th consecutive year that the ACC has placed four or more teams in the Top 30 as Maryland finished 17th in this year’s final rankings. In all, the ACC is one of only three conferences to have all of its member schools in the Top 75.

A total of 132 ACC teams placed in NCAA post-season competition in 2010-11. League teams compiled a 125-79-5 (.610) mark against opponents in NCAA championship competition.

The Championships The conference will conduct championship competition in 25 sports during the 20010-11 academic year - 12 for men and 13 for women. The first ACC championship was held in swimming on February 25, 1954. The conference did not conduct championships in cross country, wrestling or tennis during the first year.

The 12 sports for men include football, cross country, soccer, basketball, swimming, indoor and outdoor track,

wrestling, baseball, tennis, golf and lacrosse. Fencing, which was started in 1971, was discontinued in 1981. Women’s sports were initiated in 1977 with the first championship meet held in tennis at Wake Forest University.

Championships for women are currently conducted in cross country, field hockey, soccer, basketball, swimming, indoor and outdoor track, tennis, golf, lacrosse, softball and rowing with volleyball deciding its champion by regular-season play.

A History

The Atlantic Coast Conference was founded on May 8, 1953, at the Sedgefield Inn near Greensboro, N.C., with seven charter members - Clemson, Duke, Maryland, North Carolina, North Carolina State, South Carolina and Wake Forest - drawing up the conference by-laws.

The withdrawal of seven schools from the Southern Conference came early on the morning of May 8, 1953, during the Southern Conference’s annual spring meeting. On June 14, 1953,

the seven members met in Raleigh, N.C., where a set of bylaws was adopted and the name became officially the Atlantic Coast Conference.

Suggestions from fans for the name of the new conference appeared in the region’s newspapers prior to the meeting in Raleigh.

Some of the names suggested were: Dixie, Mid South, Mid Atlantic, East Coast, Seaboard, Colonial, Tobacco, Blue-Gray, Piedmont, Southern Seven and the Shoreline.

Duke’s Eddie Cameron recommended that the name of the conference be the Atlantic Coast Conference, and the motion was passed unanimously. The meeting concluded with each member institution assessed $200.00 to pay for conference expenses.

On December 4, 1953, conference officials met again at Sedgefield and officially admitted the University of Virginia as the league’s eighth member. The first, and only, withdrawal of a school from the ACC came on June 30, 1971, when the University of South Carolina tendered its resignation. The ACC operated with seven members until April 3, 1978, when the Georgia Institute of Technology was admitted. The Atlanta school had withdrawn from the Southeastern Conference in January of 1964.

The ACC expanded to nine members on July 1, 1991, with the addition of Florida State University.

The conference expanded to 11 members on July 1, 2004, with the addition of the University of Miami and Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University. On October 17, 2003, Boston College accepted an invitation to become the league’s 12th member starting July 1, 2005.

ACC Sets the Standard

W

ith seven schools listed in the top 38, all 12 in the top 101, the member institutions of the Atlantic Coast Conference lead the way among Bowl Championship Series Conferences in the latest “Best Colleges” rankings released last September by US News & World Report. ACC member institutions rank on average 49.2, marking the sixth time in the last seven years that the ACC has led all BCS conferences.

“These rankings exemplify the long-standing commitment to academic excellence and the dedicated leadership of our 12 member institutions,” said ACC Commissioner John Swofford. “The Atlantic Coast Conference is proud to have a collection of schools that are held in such high esteem.”

The ACC is the only BCS conference to place seven member institutions among the Top 38; the next highest conference placed four.

The ACC is also the only BCS conference with over half of its members in the Top 50 and is one of only two conferences with all its members in the Top 101.

Also in the Top 40 are North Carolina (29), Boston College (31), Georgia Tech (36) and Miami (38). Just out of the Top 50, Maryland ranked 55th, and was followed by Clemson (68), Virginia Tech (71), and Florida State and NC State, which tied at 101st.

Notables: • The ACC has led BCS Conferences in best average rank six of the last seven years.

ACC kay yow award Scholar-Athlete of the year

ACC Scholar-Athlete of the Year awards were established in September 2007 to be awarded annually to the top junior or senior student-athlete in their respective sports.

Candidates for the awards must have maintained a 3.0 grade point average for their career as well as a 3.0 for each of the last two semesters. The award is based 60 percent on academic achievement and 40 percent on athletic accomplishment. The award was named for the late NC State head coach Kay Yow in 2009. Yow desired strongly to be known for coaching people, rather than basketball, and understood the true meaning of the word student-athlete. Over the course of Yow’s time at State, the Pack placed 47 student-athletes on the annual ACC Honor Roll.

boston college

Boston College was founded in 1863 by the Society of Jesus to serve the sons of Boston’s Irish immigrants and was the first institution of higher education to be founded in the city of Boston. Originally located on Harrison Avenue in the South End of Boston, the College outgrew its urban setting toward the end of its first 50 years. A new location was selected in Chestnut Hill and ground for the new campus was broken on June 19, 1909. During the 1940s, new purchases doubled the size of the main campus.

In 1974, Boston College acquired Newton College of the Sacred Heart, 1.5 miles away. With 15 buildings on 40 acres, it is now the site of the Law School and residence halls. In 2004, Boston College purchased 43 acres of land from the archdiocese of Boston; this now forms the Brighton campus.

CLEMSON Clemson University is nestled in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains in South Carolina near the Georgia border, and the tiger paws painted on the roads make the return to I-85 easier. The school is built around Fort Hill, the plantation home of John C. Calhoun, Vice President to Andrew Jackson. His son-in-law, Thomas Clemson, left the land to be used as an agricultural school, and in 1893 Clemson opened its doors as a land grant school, thanks to the efforts of Ben Tillman.

DUKE

Duke University was founded in 1924 by tobacco magnate James B. Duke as a memorial to his father, Washington Duke. Originally the school was called Trinity College, a Methodist institution, started in 1859. In 1892, Trinity moved to west Durham where the east campus with its Georgian architecture now stands. Nearby are Sarah P. Duke gardens, and further west the Gothic spires of Duke chapel overlook the west campus.

FLORIDA STATE

Florida State University is one of 11 universities of the State University System of Florida.

It was established as the Seminary West of the Suwannee by an act of the Florida Legislature in 1851, and first offered instruction at the postsecondary level in 1857. Its Tallahassee campus has been the site of an institution of higher education longer than any other site in the state.

In 1905, the Buckman Act reorganized higher education in the state and designated the Tallahassee school as the Florida Female College.

In 1909, it was renamed Florida State College for Women. In 1947, the school returned to a coeducational status, and the name was changed to Florida State University.

GEORGIA TECH

Next to I-85 in downtown Atlanta stands the Georgia Institute of Technology, founded in 1885.

Its first students came to pursue a degree in mechanical engineering, the only one offered at the time. Tech’s strength is not only the red clay of Georgia, but a restored gold and white 1930 model A Ford Cabriolet, the official mascot. The old Ford was first used in 1961, but a Ramblin’ Wreck had been around for over three decades.

The Ramblin’ Wreck fight song appeared almost as soon as the school opened, and it is not only American boys that grow up singing its rollicking tune, for Richard Nixon and Nikita Khrushchev sang it when they met in Moscow in 1959.

MARYLAND The University of Maryland opened in 1856 as an agricultural school nine miles north of Washington, D.C., on land belonging to Charles Calvert, a descendant of Lord Baltimore, the state’s founding father. The school colors are the same as the state flag: black and gold for George Calvert (Lord Baltimore) and red and white for his mother, Alice Crossland. Maryland has been called the school that Curley Byrd built, for he was its quarterback, then football coach, athletic director, assistant to the president, vice-president, and finally its president. Byrd also designed the football stadium and the campus layout, and suggested the nickname Terrapin, a local turtle known for its bite, when students wanted to replace the nickname Old Liners with a new one for the school.

MIAMI

The University of Miami was chartered in 1925 by a group of citizens who felt an institution of higher learning was needed for the development of their young and growing community.

Since the first class of 560 students enrolled in the fall of 1926, the University has expanded to more than 15,000 undergraduate and graduate students from every state and more than 114 nations from around the world. The school’s colors, representative of the Florida orange tree, were selected in 1926. Orange symbolizes the fruit of the tree, green represents the leaves and white, the blossoms.

NORTH CAROLINA The University of North Carolina, located in Chapel Hill, has been called “the perfect college town,” making its tree-lined streets and balmy atmosphere what a college should look and feel like. Its inception in 1795 makes it one of the oldest schools in the nation, and its nickname of Tar Heels stems from the tar pitch and turpentine that were the state’s principal industry.

The nickname is as old as the school, for it was born during the Revolutionary War when tar was dumped into the streams to impede the advance of British forces.

NC STATE

More than a century after its establishment as a land-grant institution in 1887, North Carolina State University continues to follow the mission upon which it was founded —to provide teaching, research, and extension services to the people of North Carolina. NC State—formerly known as the North Carolina College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts—has over 34,376 students and is the largest institution of higher learning in the state. The university and its alumni provide $7.3 billion in economic impact for North Carolina. The athletic programs were called the Aggies or Farmers until in 1922, a fan compared State’s football players to a ‘pack of wolves,’ - the nickname stuck and now all 22 varsity teams are known as the Wolfpack.

VIRGINIA

The University of Virginia was founded in 1819

by Thomas Jefferson and is one of three things on his tombstone for which he wanted to be remembered. James Madison and James Monroe were on the board of governors in the early years. The Rotunda, a half-scale version of the Pantheon which faces the Lawn, is the focal point of “the Grounds,” as the campus is called.

Jefferson wanted his school to educate leaders in practical affairs and public service, not just to train teachers.

WAKE FOREST Wake Forest University was started on Calvin Jones’ plantation amid the stately pine forest of Wake County in 1834. The Baptist seminary is still there, but the school was moved to Winston-Salem in 1956 on a site donated by Charles H. and Mary Reynolds Babcock. President Harry S. Truman attended the ground-breaking ceremonies that brought a picturesque campus of Georgian architecture and painted roofs. Wake’s colors have been black and gold since 1895, thanks to a badge designed by student John Heck, who died before he graduated.

2012 Postgraduate Scholar-Athletes

T

hirty-six scholar-athletes are honored for showing distinction in competition, classroom and community Atlantic Coast Conference Commissioner John Swofford announced a list of 36 student-athletes who have been selected for the Weaver-James-Corrigan Award, including three student-athletes who will receive the Thacker Award. Additionally, six student-athletes who plan to enter a professional career in their chosen sport were named honorary recipients.

The Weaver-James-Corrigan and Jim and Pat Thacker scholarships are awarded to selected student-athletes - three from each league institution - who intend to pursue a graduate degree following completion of their undergraduate requirements. Each recipient will receive $5,000 to contribute to their graduate education. Those honored have performed with distinction in both the classroom and his/her respective sports, while demonstrating exemplary conduct in the community.

In addition to those receiving scholarship funds, six student-athletes will receive the Weaver-James-Corrigan Honorary Award. Two men’s basketball players - Clemson’s Tanner Smith and North Carolina’s Tyler Zeller - along with Duke football player Matt Daniels, Georgia Tech golfer James White, NC State baseball player Phillip Williams, and Virginia women’s tennis player Lindsey Hardenbergh will be recognized for their outstanding academic and athletic performance and intend to compete at the professional level.

The Weaver-James-Corrigan Award is named in honor of the late Jim Weaver and Bob James, as well as Gene Corrigan, all of whom are former ACC commissioners. The league’s first commissioner, James H. Weaver, served the conference from 1954-70 after a stint as the Director of Athletics at Wake Forest University. His early leadership and uncompromising integrity are largely responsible for the excellent reputation enjoyed by the ACC today.

ACC makes multimedia waves

By Michael Smith

64 2012 ACC Women’s Basketball Tournament

I

t was 18 months ago, under the swaying palm trees at Amelia Island, Fla., that ACC Commissioner John Swofford shook hands with ESPN executives on a new media contract that would secure the conference’s financial future.

The 12-year deal was the culmination of a long negotiation that involved multiple networks in pursuit of the ACC’s coveted TV rights. But it also represented a new beginning for the conference as it embarked on a new comprehensive media strategy to give its teams the greatest exposure of any conference in the country.

In the old days – like five-to-10 years ago in our ever-changing new media world – the commissioner’s job was largely done once he negotiated the TV contract, which is far and away the largest source of revenue for a conference.

But now, the TV contract is just a piece – albeit a critical piece – of a larger media approach that must take into consideration all other digital formats, such as online, mobile and tablets.

See, there’s not much that’s more important to a conference than its exposure. The more the ACC’s schools are seen, the better they recruit and the more they build their brand. That’s one of the reasons the ACC’s coaches lobbied so staunchly in favor of ESPN versus other networks. They believe that if their games are not on the “Worldwide Leader,” they won’t receive the kind of visibility that’s so important in the recruiting battles.

And with that exposure comes the ability for the institution to stay in the public consciousness and market itself to future students in the general population, a facet of athletics that’s often overlooked. Many administrators describe athletics as the sales and marketing division of the university, and to do its job, those teams must be as widely seen as possible.

Under Swofford’s guidance in the last 18 months, the ACC has taken giant strides to ensure that the conference’s teams can be seen by just about anyone, anywhere, and any time of the day, providing the league and its schools with important brand extensions that aid their visibility. It has become a reality with new mobile applications, a new online network and improved use of archives in its ACC Vault (a partnership with Denver-based

Thought Equity Motion), all of which have greatly expanded the conference’s branding opportunities.

In fact, the conference has even branded this approach by calling it “ACCess” on its official website, TheACC.com, putting it at the forefront of media innovation across the college landscape.

One of the most critical additions was the launch of the ACC Digital Network on TheACC.com.

“The ACC Digital Network provides a new platform within the digital space that will showcase more content, in more places, than we’ve ever experienced before,” Swofford said. “The depth and reach of the network, including the multitude of platforms, has our league well positioned as we look toward the future. We’re really pleased with the tremendous progress that has been made and also pleased with how much this will mean to our fans.”

With the help of the ACC’s partner Silver Chalice, a widely influential technology company based in Chicago, and its longtime production partner, Charlotte-based Raycom Sports, the conference began branding the ACC Digital Network in October.

The idea behind the network is simple – to create a fully programmed video network that makes ACC games and other shows available online and on mobile devices.

Can’t be at the stadium or in front of a TV to catch your favorite ACC team? No problem. You can still watch on your smart phone or your tablet. That’s the concept behind creating the most widely distributed ACC programming as possible.

The ACC Digital Network has its own programming, its own studio based in Charlotte, and its own talent. Kyle Montgomery was hired from NBA-TV to host studio programming, while former Georgia Tech running back Dorsey Levens is one of the football analysts and former Wake Forest quarterback Riley Skinner contributes as well.

The long-term goal for the ACC is that fans will eventually tune in to the ACC Digital Network’s own gameday each Saturday morning to prepare for a full day of college football. Importantly to fans, access to the ACC Digital Network is free.

The online strategy serves as a complement to what Swofford and the ACC’s partners have created on TV.

making multimedia waves The branding that comes with the ACC Digital Network gives the league an even stronger presence online and follows its overall branding strategy that first began in 2010. That’s when Raycom Sports, which produces and syndicates an ACC football game of the week and multiple basketball games per week, began referring to the “ACC Network” as opposed to ACC games on Raycom Sports.

ESPN also puts the ACC name and logo out front of the conference games that it broadcasts by calling it the “ACC on ESPN.” It might be a subtle thing, but it’s an angle all college conferences and professional leagues have pursued to give their own brand more visibility on those broadcasts.

While ESPN’s broad distribution on TV and online gives the conference maximum exposure, Raycom has also driven the ACC games it produces to a wider audience than ever before.

In the old media contract, Raycom could not distribute games outside of the ACC’s current seven-state footprint (Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia, Maryland and Massachusetts). That limited the ACC’s syndicated package of games to a regional audience.

The new TV contract enables the ACC’s syndicated games to go anywhere in the country. The 13-week package of football games can now be found in 40 new markets and stretches from California to New York and most markets throughout the Southeast.

Those telecasts are now in six of the top 10 TV markets, 13 of the top 25, and 25 of the top 50. The broadcasts were in 14 of the top 50 markets last year. Overall, the network coverage has nearly doubled from 28 million households to 53 million in the last year, or about 46 percent of the U.S. TV households.

“We’re going into markets now that we never dreamed of and that’s all new exposure for the ACC,” said Ken Haines, the CEO at Raycom Sports. “It certainly has taken the ACC to a wider audience.”

Raycom has enhanced its offering this season with a new studio show called “ACC Blitz” that features Danielle Trotta and former Clemson coach Tommy Bowden talking ACC football pregame

66 2012 ACC Women’s Basketball Tournament

and halftime. Those shows originate out of the NASCAR Media Group’s studio in Charlotte.

In keeping with the ACC’s “TV Everywhere” approach, that studio and game programming can be found on the digital network, as well as the mobile applications that the league has launched in the last year. The iPhone and iPad apps, sponsored by Havoline, hit the market in the fall of 2010. Then the conference came back this fall with enhanced apps that work on the Android market as well. Silver Chalice has been a partner on those technology initiatives as well.

“We saw tremendous success with the app last year and it’s exciting to launch a new app for the Apple and Android markets,” Swofford said. “These platforms represent an important opportunity for the ACC to reach its fans and to continue our conference initiative to offer more conference content than ever before.”

Being at the forefront of landscape-changing media initiatives is nothing new for Swofford. He was the commissioner in charge of the BCS when it negotiated a new four-year media contract with ESPN, which is in its second year.

That was a game-changing deal because it brought the BCS conferences a 50-percent raise over its previous contract and it took the games exclusively to cable TV, something that had never been done before.

At the time, it was seen as something as a risk, but it eventually became part of a trend that has seen more big events move to cable, largely because of cable’s evergrowing distribution and the ability to drive more revenue to the college game.

Through the ACC’s own deal with ESPN, Raycom and new technology partners like Silver Chalice, Thought Equity Motion and NASCAR Media Group, Swofford has again positioned the ACC as a leader in the media space, providing the conference with greater exposure than it’s ever enjoyed before.

ACC Women’s Basketball Tournament: A Cut Above the Rest

By David Droschak

T

here are numerous debates across college athletics; however, there is little argument and universal agreement among college coaches and administrators that the Atlantic Coast Conference Women’s Basketball Tournament is the premier event of its kind.

The ACC Women’s Tournament will celebrate its 35th anniversary this March as a proud pioneer of the sport and as a progressive basketball tournament other leagues across the nation try to emulate.

That wasn’t always the case. Few probably remember the early days of the tournament in the late 1970s and early ‘80s when and sport was in its growing stages and crowds were sparse.

“They would give out tickets at Hardees and McDonalds just to get bodies in the seats,” added longtime North Carolina coach Sylvia Hatchell. “Now, it’s a hot ticket.”

The tournament’s permanent move to the Greensboro Coliseum in 2000 on the heels of an exciting NCAA Regional Tournament proved to be a stroke of genius

by ACC Commissioner John Swofford, who was a major proponent of raising the profile of the league’s women’s programs.

“That Duke-Tennessee NCAA game helped springboard our thought process that we could excite the region to follow ACC Women’s Basketball,” said Greensboro Coliseum managing director Matt Brown. And then there was John Swofford’s commitment to women’s basketball. So, it all came together in a venue that was open and receptive to wanting to support the development of women’s basketball.”

Since 2000, the championship game in Greensboro has drawn more than 8,000 fans annually, while an innovative partnership with local school districts to reward kids who achieve academic goals with tickets has repeatedly sold out.

“I have actually taken ear plugs with me to that game because the kids just scream

68 2012 ACC Women’s Basketball Tournament

non-stop, they don’t care which team wins,” Hatchell said. “That’s a pretty special atmosphere and time.”

“People forget that we were faced with a challenge of having an early game and what do we do with it,” Brown added. “Well, we took a challenging opportunity and turned it into a huge success by reaching out to the regional school districts and offering them a chance to come and support ACC teams. The success of those games has been renowned nationally by other conferences, and even the NCAA has watched those games on TV with awe that we’ve got a sold-out 11,000-seat arena filled with kids at 11 am.”

The ACC and Brown have even gone as far as having a mascot night and a concert at halftime of a title game.

“When we committed to a long-term contract, I told the ACC and the women’s coaches they would never be treated differently than the men when the come to Greensboro,” Brown added. “They didn’t believe me, but when they saw the same accommodations of locker rooms, the same VIP treatment, they all sensed there was a pretty good partnership here and that they had finally found a home.”

The ACC Women’s Basketball Tournament will be played in Greensboro through at least 2015.

“When you win the tournament in Greensboro, it is so special because the balloons are coming down from the top of the coliseum and the music is playing,” said Hatchell, who has played for the championship 14 of the last 18 seasons. “Even when we don’t win, we usually stay out there during the festivities because I want my players to see what happens when you win the ACC Tournament, how the champions are honored because it is just so first-class. When you win that championship it is just an incredible thing — as good as or better than the national championship.”

70 2012 ACC Women’s Basketball Tournament

From Taking Shots to Calling the Shots

By Sarah Sue Ingram

T

he people who took the shots are now calling the shots.

Four women who played Atlantic Coast Conference basketball are now ACC head coaches: Virginia’s Joanne Boyle, Miami’s Katie Meier, Boston College’s Sylvia Crawley, and, the only one at her alma mater, Clemson’s Itoro Umoh Coleman.

Crawley starred on North Carolina’s 1994 national championship team, while both Boyle and Meier once called Cameron Indoor Stadium home.

“The greatest thing for me in my career is two of my kids are coaching in the ACC,” said Debbie Leonard, Duke’s first women’s basketball coach and now a television sportscaster. “I love ‘em both.

“There was a guy named David Henderson, maybe the best sixth player in Duke men’s basketball history. And the same was true for Joanne Boyle. She didn’t start that many games but she played lots of minutes.”

Boyle relished the role.

“It really suited my personality, being able to watch and then come in,” Boyle said. “My role was to come off the bench and give us some spark and energy. My senior year, I really embraced it. My end of the floor was definitely the defensive end.”

Dissecting the other team from the bench must have worked because Virginia’s signature win this regular season was over Tennessee.

“There was great energy in the building that day,” Boyle said.

“We really played well as a team.”

At California, where Boyle had two signature wins over Stanford, she kept an eye on the ACC. “We watched all the venues on TV and saw how Greensboro ran such a great ACC Women’s Basketball Tournament. We in the Pac 12 were trying to replicate that.”

How does approaching the tournament differ as a coach and player?

“The difference is preparation,” Boyle said. “As a coach, you’re trying to prepare a lot of different pieces First-year Virginia coach Joanne Boyle of the puzzle. You’re getgraduated in 1985 from Duke with a degree ting your team ready with in economics and obtained a master’s degree in health policy and administration scouting reports, a lot of from North Carolina in 1989. film, one-day preparation.

Your mindset is big picture. But you’re trying to get your players to live in the moment.”

Nora Lynn Finch, ACC associate commissioner for women’s basketball, said, “Debbie Leonard instilled an excellent work ethic in her teams, and Joanne fit like a handin-glove with Debbie’s work ethic, hard-nosed competitiveness, and overcoming hardship through extra effort. Joanne is what you expect from a Duke studentathlete: smart, cunning, savvy.”

Both Boyle and Meier grew physically and mentally at Duke.

“When Katie was 18, she was a coach,” Leonard said.

“She was truly a student of Miami coach Katie Meier the game. She just picked up Seventh-year was ACC Rookie of the Year at Duke in concepts so quickly. Katie’s 1986 and later named to the ACC’s 50th very similar as a coach as Anniversary Team. she was as a player because she anticipates so well.”

Leonard has clear memories of two of Meier’s games.

“We were at NC State and Katie was having one of the games of her life—36 points,” Leonard remembered. “Katie got popped in the eye with an elbow. Near the end of the game, her eye was swollen shut like a fighter’s.”

Leonard, who often used humor to dissolve high stress, was kidding when she asked her trainer, “Can we cut her?”

But nothing could assuage the pain of another injury.

“We were up at Maryland and ranked eighth in the country.”

Leonard said. “Katie steps in to take a charge, she gets nailed and it twisted her knee. She had to sit out the rest of that season.

“When I’m having basketball dreams, I dream about how things would have been if Katie had not gotten hurt. I could put Katie at the top of a 1-3-1 zone and she would take their vision away. And as great at Chris Moreland was, it was Katie who got her the ball.”

Players rarely realize during their playing days that paths may cross in the future, and opponents as players may end up on the same sideline as coaches, as Meier and Wake Forest’s Lisa Stockton did.

Meier also made an impression on NC State coach Kay Yow. Finch recalled, “After Katie graduated from Duke, she played with the NC State team in the Jones Cup in Taiwan because the State team had injuries that left it small in number. Katie proved theACC.com

71

to be the consummate team player, cheerfully wearing an NC State uniform and competing for the USA. Katie was one of Coach Yow’s favorite players, and after coaching her for a summer, Kay had a bond with Katie that she cherished for the rest of her life.”

Crawley helped give Carolina fans two memories to cherish a lifetime.

“The ACC tournament my senior year sticks out the most because our record was 33-2,” Crawley said. “The two losses we had were to the same team, Virginia. I can remember we were rooting for them in the ACC tournament so we could have another crack.

We knew if we could beat Virginia, we could become national champions.

“Coach [Sylvia] Hatchell gave the pre-game speech of her life and we ran out on the court. At North Carolina, we had big-sister, little sister. I got out on the Boston College Coach Sylvia Crawley was named Final Four Coaches’ MVP in court and said, ‘Where’s my 1994 and played for the USA in the World freshman?’ I ran back in the University Games, Jones Cup and Pan locker room and said, ‘MarAm Games. In 1998, Crawley won the American Basketball League’s Slam Dunk ion [Jones], what’s wrong?’

Contest with a blind-folded dunk.

She said she just wanted to win, and a tear rolled down her cheek. Charlotte [Smith] came in, we sat down beside her and we all started crying. Finally, we said, ‘This is ridiculous’ and charged out on the court. Marion’s desire to win rubbed off on us.”

Win they did.

“I played for 23 years in 16 different countries, and I’ve never again experienced a game where the five on the floor were in a zone. It was almost magical,” Crawley said. “It was a battle the whole game, but we beat Virginia.”

It seemed improbable Carolina would be cutting down the NCAA championship nets when the Tar Heels trailed Louisiana Tech by two with .7 left on the clock.

Stephanie Lawrence, now a BC assistant, was supposed to lob the ball to the 6-foor-5 Crawley on a baseline out-of-bounds play.

“I have a 6-9 wing span, and that play had worked three times that game,” Crawley said. “But Stephanie felt like she was going to hit the corner of the backboard if she lobbed it to me so she called timeout. Then Coach Hatchell changed the play and Charlotte launches up this 3-pointer. The ball rotated about 20 times in the air. The whole Richmond Coliseum went silent.

“Once the ball went through the nets, it fell into my hands and I threw it up in the air. The fans bombarded the court, I hugged Charlotte first and they tackled us. It was an incredible moment.

Two weeks later, it would kind of hit us that we won, and we would just break down crying.”

Finch said, “Few student-athletes wear NCAA national championship rings. Now Sylvia is looking ahead to where she will lead

72 2012 ACC Women’s Basketball Tournament

the Boston College Eagles. Her graceful strides down the court are matched by her personal grace and humility. Her personal achievements and personal qualities make Sylvia a role model for her young team.”

Crawley’s personal traits impressed Coleman…eventually.

“Sylvia and I played together on the USA team in the Pan Am Games,” Coleman said. “You always think opponents are so mean— you make up this stuff in your mind! But I got to hang out with Sylvia on the USA team and found out she’s very nice, really funny and extremely intelligent.

“When I was a player at Clemson, it was tough to like anybody from North Carolina. But I found out she’s just a person just like me. The rivalry, you can leave that in college.”

Those rivalries were intense.

“In 1996, my freshman year, we won the ACC Tournament, and I didn’t understand why everybody was crying,” Coleman said. “In 1999 when we won it, I understood it. I absolutely loved my teammates. Everything that happened for us, we did it together.”

Clemson approached the ACC tournament as a new season.

“We used to call Coach [Jim] Davis ‘Mr. Hard to Please,’ but he was the best,” Coleman said. “Basketball is 10 percent physical and 90 percent mental. Coach Davis did a good job of making us mentally tough.”

Leonard said, “Nobody ever played any harder than Itoro Umoh.”

All out was the only gear she knew.

“My mom had two jobs-there were four of us,” Coleman said. “It was in my make-up. I don’t believe in going at anything at halfeffort. If I’m going to be in it, I’m going to give every- Second-year Clemson coach Itoro Umoh Coleman played for the Tigers 1996-2000 thing. You weren’t going to and was later named to the ACC’s 50th out-work me in practice or Anniversary Team. on the court.

“As a player, you don’t get exposed to all the behind-the scenes things that go into prepping for a game. On the coaches’ side, there’s a lot of watching film and strategic tweaking. As far as the passion and how much you want to win, that’s the same.”

Finch said, “The ACC enjoys some of the most intense and competitive rivalries in all of college sports, and at the same time, we enjoy keen mutual respect among our student-athletes, coaches, and administrators. Itoro, Sylvia, Katie, and Joanne have cited their personal understanding of, and appreciation for, the ACC’s culture of good sportsmanship, academic excellence, and intensely excellent competitiveness as reasons for wanting to coach in this great league.

As we watch them coach, let us also remember what outstanding competitors they were and what outstanding leaders they are.”

Meier spoke for all the league’s competitors when she added, “When people ask, ‘Did you play college ball?’ I always say, ‘I played in the ACC.’”

aren Jenkins Gray quickly made a perception common to young collegiate student-athletes, and it turned out to be a very good omen.

“I realized after I got to college that I wasn’t the only superstar on the team,” she said. “I understood that I had to work as hard as the next player.”

Jenkins Gray, then known as Karen Ann Jenkins, was part of an ensemble cast that led Clemson to its greatest achievements to that point. They were “Seinfeld” a few years early with one notable exception. That was “a show about nothing.” The Tigers had some substance to them.

Jenkins Gray, who counts herself among the program’s Top 10 scorers and rebounders more than two decades after playing her final minute, helped the Tigers to the school’s first NCAA Tournament victory, a triumph over SEC power Georgia that put Clemson in the Sweet 16 in her senior year of 1989. Generally speaking, she was a leader in a unit that indicated the Tigers were intent on being far more than participants in that fledgling entity known as ACC basketball.

In conjunction with center Louise Greenwood, swing player Shandy Bryan and defensive stopper Ramona O’Neal at the point, Jenkins’ play at power forward gave Clemson a complete team and a collective identity. The university had been home to Barbara Kennedy, who was and still is one of the most revered players in the league’s history. But the Tigers didn’t break through on the national stage until Jim Davis, a genial fellow from the sport’s cradle, Tennessee, became head coach in 1987.

Davis convinced his players they didn’t need to con-

hink it’s tough to get to the WNBA? It is. In 2011, only 28 rookies appeared in the league, and there were more than 3,800 college seniors in NCAA Division I, II and III. Now take those odds and multiply them by 28.

The hard way. Then you’ll see what Kathleen Sweet, Boston College’s ACC Legend, is about to achieve.

There are 3,800 members of the Bar Association of Erie County in Buffalo, N.Y., and there’s one president. Sweet’s going to take over that gig on July 1. Even for an accomplished professional, that adds up to improbability.

Sweet , who finished her distinguished Eagle career in 1987, came along about a decade too late for professional women’s basketball in the United States, but by that point, she had established a reputation for ethical conduct in medical defense. (Hold the jokes, please.) And there are no regrets.

“Don’t take yourself too seriously,” she said. “And enjoy the game.”

Sweet did so as one of the first great players in BC’s history. The NCAA didn’t begin sponsoring women’s sports until Sweet was in high school, and she arrived on The Heights as the program was starting to turn a corner.

A member of the Big East Conference’s All-Rookie team in 1984, she twice earned second-team all-league honors thereafter. Her favorite moment came in her senior season of 1987, when the Eagles beat Providence 64-63 to make the conference championship game. BC

had lost to PC 13 of 15 times and five in a row entering that contest.

The Eagles went 5-14 over their first two Big East campaigns before Sweet’s arrival, but they were 29-21 in conference play in her final three seasons, establishing a foundation in a difficult league. Individually, she was the third Eagle to reach the 1,000-point mark – she finished at 1,006 – and she claimed 597 rebounds.

Meanwhile, Sweet was on her way to being named the Big East’s Scholar-Athlete of the Year in 1987. She majored in sociology with an eye on law school, which she attended at Villanova.

Since then, she has become a partner in Gibson McCaskill and Crosby and was named New York’s Lawyer of the Year for 2012 in her area of expertise, which often involves defending doctors from litigation and accusations of malpractice.

The association she will lead is the largest in the state outside of metropolitan New York. (At 20.4 per 10,000 residents, New York trails only Washington, D.C., among all U.S. jurisdictions in lawyer volume.)

Named to the Boston College Hall of Fame in 2004, Sweet is married to Brian Fredericks and is the mother of two, Caroline Fredericks, 13, and Michael Fredericks, 12.

cede anything. While the Tigers seek their first NCAA Final Four, they made their mark in a conference with three flagship programs, Maryland, NC State and Virginia, all of which were ahead of the national curve in sponsoring and promoting women’s sports.

Jenkins’ specialty was judicious shot selection.

She was among the ACC’s most reliable players in and around the paint, leading the ACC in field-goal percentage (.556) in her freshman season of 1985-86. She’s still third in Tiger history in accuracy from the floor. She replicated her regular-season success in the conference tournament, in which she went 38-for-71 (.535) and averaged 14.7 points a game in six career contests.

That included an 18-point performance in a 1988 victory over Duke, one of the games that signaled imminent team improvement. That year, the 21-9 Tigers won more games than they had in the previous two seasons combined.

Jenkins and four other seniors started and guided the Tigers to the program’s landmark postseason victory, a comfortable decision against the Bulldogs in 1989.

Having been a major part of a team turnaround, Jenkins now seeks to help individuals make positive changes in their daily lives. She is a social worker for the Greenville (S.C.) County Department of Social Services, and she coached high school basketball from 2002-10.

She is married to Thomas Bryant Gray and resides in Greenville.

Georgia Schweitzer

VP, ACC, NCAA, M.D., WNBA, MHSc. If she keeps it up, Georgia Schweitzer Beasley will run through the entire alphabet one of these years.

Duke’s 2012 ACC Legend in women’s basketball hasn’t hit her mid-30s yet, and she is already a medical doctor with a specialty in cancer research; a wife and mom; a juggler who coached in winters and played in summers; and an important figure in ACC hoop history.

“Take advantage of every opportunity to learn,” she said, having clearly earned the right to offer such advice.

She came to Duke from her native Ohio in 1997, when the Blue Devil program was solid but not yet a national phenomenon. The Devils had never been past the NCAA Tournament’s second round and had never had a first-team All-American to that point.

Everything began to change in 1999. Thanks to a 15-1 record in regular-season ACC play, Duke earned assignment to the NCAA’s East region, which had its semifinals and finals an hour from campus in Greensboro, N.C. The Elite Eight game paired Duke with Tennessee, the three-time defending NCAA champion. Schweitzer, a 6-foot sophomore guard, played most of the night head-to-head against Lady Vol senior Chamique Holdsclaw, the eventual four-time first-team All-American who had already surpassed 3,000 career points.

Schweitzer poured in 22 points as the Blue Devils surprised the sport and heralded their arrival on the national stage with a Final Four appearance. They would defeat another SEC power, Georgia, in the national semifinals before falling to Purdue.

That night in 1999 began establishing the Greensboro Coliseum as Duke’s second home court. The pro-

legends of the atlantic coast conference gram would win the next five ACC Tournaments on that floor and Schweitzer would go on to significant personal achievement.

She was named ACC Player of the Year in 2000 and 2001 and earned All-American citation from six sources, one of which, the United States Basketball Writers Association, made her a first-team choice, in her senior season.

Schweitzer’s play helped lift Duke out of sleeping giant status, but her story was far from done.

In the summers of 2001-03, she played a total of 70 games for the WNBA’s Minnesota Lynx. After all of those seasons, she returned to her alma mater to serve as an assistant coach. But as much as she loved basketball, the game couldn’t deter her from her ultimate professional aspiration.

Schweitzer entered Duke’s medical school in 2004, received her degree in 2008 and enrolled in a Master’s degree program in conjunction with the National Institutes of Health in 2010. In that capacity, she is performing cancer research.

Married to Jonathan Beasley since 2006, she became a mom with the arrival of Reid Beasley on April 2, 2011. So it’s reasonable to say Georgia Schweitzer Beasley is one of the busiest people on the planet. Now if she can just figure out how to add Z to the titles and awards on the resume, she’ll really be set.

he modern history of Florida State women’s basketball is occupied with banners and 20-win seasons and major contributions to the ACC’s success.

While Christy Derlak hasn’t been a direct part of that, her individual career clearly lines up right beside it.

The 5-10 forward from Tennessee became FSU’s second All-ACC player when she earned second-team honors in her senior season of 1994, and the achievement is especially impressive in context. She was only the fourth player in ACC history to make the first or second team while playing on a last-place club; there wouldn’t be another for 10 years.

Even though her team went 6-21 overall, Derlak was hard to miss: a player with height for the post and an accurate touch from long range. For her career, she hit 34 percent of her 3-point shots – above the national average in any era – and still good for seventh place in Seminole records books. She averaged 17.4 points and 4.8 rebounds a game as a senior and was a 74-percent foul shooter who often drew contact. She got to the line an average of six times a contest in 1993-94, proving she could put the ball on the floor as well as play off perimeter screens.

Derlak established the school record for 3-pointers in a game with seven, and she did so on her birthday, Nov. 26, 1993.

Derlak helped FSU win 25 games in its final season in the Metro Conference, her freshman year of 1990-91, and the Seminoles were bound for a tougher

league the following year. In 1992, the ACC was led

by Virginia, which finished first in the final Associated Press poll, and Maryland, which claimed eighth.

North Carolina, building toward and eventual NCAA championship two years later, and Clemson also made NCAA Tournament appearances, but the Noles were not intimidated. They defeated the Tigers and Tar Heels and surprised many by finishing 8-8 in the conference.

While the program experienced some difficulty thereafter, Derlak maintained excellence on and off the floor. She was an outstanding student who majored in communication sciences and disorders. In 1994, she became the first FSU women’s basketball player to earn a Weaver-James-Corrigan scholarship, a grant toward postgraduate education. That helped fund her Master’s degree in speech and language pathology from FSU. Derlak, now known as Christy Derlak Lawley, is a speech and language pathologist at University Hospital in Tamarac, Fla., near Fort Lauderdale. She is married to Jeffrey Lawley and has a daughter, Sam McQuaig.

McQuaig may wind up playing for her mom one of these years. Derlak Lawley is coaching third- and fourth-graders in basketball and different age levels in softball.

Bernadette McGlade

legends of the atlantic coast conference

orth Carolina has already claimed Bernadette McGlade as an ACC Legend, citing her playing skills. The conference office could do the same for her development of its championship event as the best of its kind in the country.

For 2012, Georgia Tech has the honors of salutation, handed out on this occasion for Act II of her career, a seven-year coaching tenure that facilitated the institute’s rise to prominence in the sport. McGlade therefore becomes the first person to be recognized as a Legend by two institutions.

The New Jersey native’s association with the conference actually predates the conference’s affiliation with women’s basketball. She arrived at UNC in 1976 and the ACC began to sponsor the sport a year later. After pulling down enough rebounds to remain a frequent presence in the Tar Heel record books today, she got into coaching. While that sounds like a reasonable idea these days, it wasn’t that simple 40 years ago.

Georgia Tech’s first two coaches were men.

When McGlade took over the program in 1981, it was several years behind other institutions in development of women’s athletics, and growth didn’t coincide directly what that of the men’s team, which went from ACC cellar-dweller in 1980 to the NCAA’s Final Eight by 1985.

But McGlade stuck with it, and in time, recruiting picked up. She signed and coached the first two All-ACC players in Tech’s history, center Dolores Bootz and guard Ida Neal. She guided the team to its first winning season (in 1986-87) and left the sidelines for administration after her seventh season in 1988. She turned the reins over to her sister, Agnus Berenato, and the Jackets had stability.

McGlade ultimately joined six of her former players in Georgia Tech’s athletics hall of fame.

At Georgia Tech, McGlade oversaw 14 sports, three of which she helped lead from club to Division I status. The NCAA selected her as the local organizing chair of the 1993 Women’s Final Four, which became the first advance sellout in the event’s 12-year history to that point.

Tech’s female enrollment has historically been

among the lowest of a comprehensive Division I school, and demography suggests that won’t change overnight. But aggressive and successful promotion and marketing of the NCAA’s premier women’s championship made the socially important statement that women have a valuable place in the nation’s finest schools regardless of their numerical representation.

The NCAA later tapped McGlade to chair the tournament selection committee.

In 1997, McGlade moved to the ACC’s headquarters as director of women’s basketball operations and later as associate commissioner with oversight of Olympic sports championships. Her most important contribution was the progress of the ACC Tournament, which McGlade helped find an essentially permanent home in Greensboro in 2000. The event had sought a big-time venue supported by prime hotel space since its creation, and an agreement with the Greensboro Coliseum made that possible.

The relationship has been mutually beneficial.

Current ACC players play in a vibrant atmosphere and the city knows it has postseason college basketball on an annual basis. Several years ago, municipal officials filed a claim on the phrase “Tournament Town” with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.

That experience made McGlade a candidate for the job of running her own conference, a gig that was effectively closed to women before the ethical imprimatur of federal legislation took hold in the culture. In 2008, she was named the fifth commissioner of the Atlantic 10 Conference, which is now based in Newport News, Va., and stretches all the way to St. Louis and up the coast to Amherst, Mass.

he University of Maryland went back in time to find its 2012 ACC Legend, but extending to the early 1980s was certainly not a reach.

As a player, Myra Waters helped the Terrapins to the first NCAA Women’s Final Four and shot, stole and rebounded her way onto school Top 10 lists that she still occupies. Off the court, she seized one of the first opportunities available to female student-athletes, and she took advantage in triplicate: bachelors, masters and doctorate degrees.

“Success is a result of identifying, valuing and, to the best of ability, utilizing your strengths,” Waters said.

“Play to your strengths and seek support for your weaknesses.”

As director of the University of Baltimore’s counseling center, Waters provides the latter to hundreds of students and has practiced the former for decades.

Her journey began when athletics scholarships in women’s sports were rare and few if any girls in her native Ohio dreamed about playing at an out-of-state institution with a national profile. And how could they? Recruiting budgets and travel teams were still a few years away. Maryland coach Chris Weller, in fact, brought Waters to College Park without having seen her play. (And the Terps were way ahead of the curve. In January 1975, Maryland hosted the first nationally televised women’s basketball game.)

Waters was, by nature, a 5-10 swing player when women of that height were almost always thrust into the post out of necessity. And that was the deal for some of her time with the Terps, but over time, her skills were useful all over the floor. She remains among the pro-

gram’s leaders in rebounds and in steals, a category generally dominated by guards.

In Waters’ senior season, 1981-82, the NCAA staged its first women’s basketball championship, and the Terps, having dominated the earliest days of ACCsponsored play, received a No. 2 seed but were dispatched to the West region and paired in the first round with the host, Stanford. No matter. They rolled through the field, winning three games by double-digit margins and advancing to the first Final Four in NCAA history.

The Terps had made the national quarterfinals of the AIAW tournament, and 1982 represented a breakthrough. Waters played 150 of a possible 160 minutes and grabbed 34 rebounds in those four contests as her team worked its way to the national stage. The run ended with a loss to Cheyney State of Pennsylvania, coached by another future Hall of Famer, Vivian Stringer.

But Waters was far from through in reaping the benefits of her time at Maryland. She earned a master’s degree in family and community development and later a Ph.D. in counseling psychology. She’s what you might call a Triple Terp.

Waters’ office now helps students deal with the stresses of college life. In her spare time, she is a leader in a support group for devoted to grief counseling.

Tamara James

amara James is one ace whose full achievements got lost in the big re-shuffle.

Her time equally split between the Big East and ACC, the former Miami Hurricane doesn’t appear on the Top-25 career scoring lists of either conference. So she’ll gladly settle for the notion -- ascertainable through NCAA records books -- that she was one of the best of her time anywhere.

The Hurricanes’ 2012 ACC Legend led both conferences in scoring, doing so in her first league as a freshman and in both junior and senior campaigns in Miami’s new and current home. Only the machinations of realignment could keep this picture from complete clarity.

Consider for a moment if Miami had been in the ACC for all of James’ career, which ran from 2002-06.

Her total of 2,406 points would have been good for third in league history at the time of her final game and fourth now. (And, yes, it’s OK to assume similar stats under various circumstances. In James’ four seasons, 51 percent of ACC teams and 45 percent of Big East competitors earned NCAA Tournament bids.)

Nationwide, only two of James’ direct contemporaries outscored her over that time frame: LSU’s Seimone Augustus (2,702) and Sophia Young of Baylor (2,480). Entering this season, James stood 65th on the NCAA’s career points chart out of the roughly 28,500 women who have played Division I ball since 1981-82.

The 5-foot-8 wing player led Miami to three postseason appearances, earned two first-team All-ACC citations and placed seventh nationally in scoring while earning honorable-mention All-American dis-

tinction as a senior. She’s UM’s all-time scoring champion for men’s or women’s basketball and is one of two celebrated people named James in the recent history of the sport in south Florida. (Some LeBron fellow plays for a paycheck in the region.)

Off the court, James is engaged to Dion Dowell, a former University of Houston standout now playing for a team in Jerusalem. The two met while playing professionally in Israel.

She recently gave birth to the couple’s first child, Dion K. Dowell Jr., and intends to return to competition at the appropriate time. Her WNBA experience includes 52 games with the Washington Mystics in 2006 and 2007.

Her work includes a charitable foundation she created in her name in 2006. The organization conducts Thanksgiving food drives; runs events designed to heighten awareness of breast cancer screening; provides home landscaping services for senior citizens; and holds free basketball clinics in and around Broward County, Fla. “(College basketball) is only a small lesson that is taught to prepare you for the real world,” she said. “Get everything you can out of this experience because as hard as you think college is, it’s a piece of cake compared to the real world.”

hings haven’t always been smooth for Sylvia Crawley’s Boston College Eagles this season, and when trouble arises, the coach has a figure in mind. It’s neither even (like Four as in Final Four) nor odd (like No. 1 in the land) nor whole (like, well, virtually every other celebrated number in sports history).

Seven-tenths. Rarely has something so small been so loaded.

That was the fraction of a second that remained on the clock when Crawley’s North Carolina Tar Heels inbounded the ball while trailing Louisiana Tech by one (full) point in the 1994 NCAA championship game.

What followed was a shot that made the Tar Heels champions and gave them an allegory about perseverance that they can share for a lifetime.

It is, to some extent, a story about a tall kid from Ohio who went from unrecruited to the forefront of her sport and who is now the ACC Legend for her alma mater while coaching another team in the conference.

“Nobody wanted Sylvia Crawley,” UNC coach Sylvia Hatchell said moments after that historic day in Richmond, Va. Crawley’s skills hadn’t caught up with her height at that stage of her development, but by attempting hundreds of shots a night while seated in a chair in the middle of the foul lane, she built strength and form. In time, she became the defensive centerpiece and captain of a program with similar transformation. In her freshman season as a player, the Tar Heels went 2-12 in the ACC, including a 37-point loss at Virginia after which

Hatchell vowed to convene practice the minute the bus returned to Chapel Hill.

Still among North Carolina’s career leaders in blocked shots and field-goal percentage, among other statistics, she represented the United States in five international competitions and was an alternate for the 1996 Olympic team.

A long and distinguished professional career took her to teams in Italy, Spain and France and back home to the WNBA and its short-lived predecessor, the American Basketball League. (She won that league’s dunk contest with a blind-folded slam in 1998).

Crawley got into coaching and took on a difficult challenge. The Ohio University Bobcats had struggled through eight consecutive losing seasons when they hired the former UNC and Fordham assistant in 2006.

An instant makeover resulted, as Crawley’s Bobcats went 20-12 in the Mid-American Conference and 3825 overall in two seasons.

She was off to Boston College, where her first three Eagle teams won 60 games. This year’s team lost its first 10 ACC contests but struck with victories at Virginia Tech and at home against Clemson.

And as they look into the ACC Tournament and the future, they’ll probably be asked to remember a number that forgot about time.

iedah Williams’ team honors at the University of Virginia seem contradictory: two-time captain, three-time winner of the unsung hero award.

If nothing else, the combination suggests they couldn’t make enough hardware for a profoundly respected player.

And in that light, it’s not especially surprising that a player who graduated only five years ago is an ACC Legend.

In her four years in Charlottesville, Williams, a 6-foot-2 center, led the Cavaliers to three postseason appearances, a pair of 20-win seasons and a 19-victory campaign. Durable and dependable, she logged 123 games in the uniform. The Cavs didn’t earn national prominence in her time, and that probably explains her absence from All-ACC teams, but her achievements were noticed where they matter most: within the family.

Williams became the 23rd player in UVa history to surpass 1,000 career points, and of them, a few stand out.

Fans tend to remember the inaugural men’s game in the history of John Paul Jones Arena, the sparkling new facility the university had sought for years, on the night of Nov. 12, 2006. In that one, the Cavaliers overcame a 19-point deficit to upend 10th-ranked Arizona.

But earlier in the day, Williams had made her mark, racking up Virginia’s first 11 points in the venue before others joined the party in an eventual 20-point win over Old Dominion.

That was her second year as a team captain, and by that point, she had earned a nickname: grandma.

It was bestowed not just for her seniority; she was the

ou can have your statistics, and Rhonda Mapp surely staked her claim to numerical relevance in a distinguished basketball career. Any competitor’s preferred metric is stitched in cloth or engraved in jewelry, however, and NC State’s ACC Legend earned the tangible stuff, too.

As legacies go, this one’s tough to top: Mapp may be the most prolific winner in ACC women’s basketball history. In her youth, she helped her high school to a state title and an AAU team to a national crown.

She was the low-post presence on the Wolfpack’s 1991 ACC championship squad, and her skills were still in demand a decade later, when she played an important reserve role for the Los Angeles Sparks’ WNBA championship team.

If anybody starts another full-season league in this country, he or she may have to put in a call to Mapp -- for good luck if nothing else.

Few ACC teams have had the perimeter-interior combination the Pack had with wing player Andrea Stinson and Mapp, whose career was defined by tenacity on the block. Those who tried to wedge her out of her preferred spot were frequently whistled for fouls, and State thrived on wearing down the opposition as a result.

One team that could match NC State was Virginia, and the teams put on one of the greatest games in league history on Jan. 12, 1991 in storied Reynolds Coliseum. In three overtimes, the Cavaliers prevailed 123-120, establishing an NCAA record for scoring by both teams that has since been broken. Virginia attempted 103 field goals. Mapp had 30 points (on 15-of-17 free-throw shooting) and 17 rebounds. Five players fouled out.

And it evokes curiosity because for Mapp, it was a loss and her single most vivid memory. It did not

legends of the atlantic coast conference define the season, however. Seven weeks later, State secured the ACC Tournament title as Mapp averaged 16.3 points and 9.3 rebounds in three games and earned all-tournament honors for the second time in her three seasons.

A year later, she became the fourth player to lead the ACC in scoring and rebounding and the first of the quartet whose resume included a conference championship at some point. (Only two other players have since duplicated both individual distinctions and a league title.)

Mapp was a part of the WNBA from its inception in 1997, when she finished third in field-goal percentage as a member of the Charlotte Sting. After three more seasons with that franchise, she moved on to the Sparks in 2001 and averaged 13 minutes a game.

In so doing, she became the second ACC alumna to win a WNBA ring, following another former NC State star, Kelley Gibson, by a year. Gibson played for the 2000 Charlotte Comets.

Again, Mapp’s work stands a time test. Only three former ACC players have played for a WNBA champion since then.

Mapp works these days for Sache, Inc., a South Carolina-based manufacturer of women’s shoes, and she still fits in the Wolfpack record book, in which she holds Top-10 spots in total points, points per game, field goals, field-goal percentage and rebounds.

de facto team chef whose culinary skills and general counsel routinely attracted teammates to her residence.

“Time management is everything,” she said when asked to impart advice to current student-athletes.

“Be sure to keep a good balance between school work, sports and your social life.”

Williams, who majored in anthropology, also earned a specially designated grant, the Thomas J. Ryan Memorial Scholarship, which UVa awards annually to a player whose commitment to the team supersedes interest in individual achievement.

Williams’ older brother, Jawad Williams, had an excellent career at North Carolina, but Siedah took her own path from the family’s home of Cleveland and had no regrets beyond a string of injuries that precluded any pursuit of a professional career. Teammates respected her ability to play through the pain and put off surgery until the end of the spring semester. She missed only four of the Cavs’ games in her four seasons.

Today, she is the chief deputy clerk for the municipal government in her hometown. Engaged to Lonnie Simpson, she is the mother of Kimani, who will soon celebrate her third birthday.

oper Osborne-Halverson played at Wake Forest at a time when the only real motivator was love of the game. Any game. At least in her case.

Sport specificity is a sign of progress in women’s college athletics. There are enough competitors and enough teams across the country that student-athletes don’t have to pull double and triple duty in order to fill out rosters. In retrospect, however, Osborne-Halverson’s story has its charm and an exceptionally diverse set of chapters.

From 1972-76, she alternated between volleyball in the fall, basketball in the winter and golf in the spring, participating in 10 of 12 possible seasons. There were no breaks in her first two years and few of the rewards -- travel, television coverage, scholarship dollars -- commonly associated with major college sports these days.

There was no shortage of experiences, however. Of them all, Osborne-Halverson most fondly recalls the basketball team’s 76-71 win over NC State on Feb. 21, 1976. Just how early was a it? From Wake’s standpoint, it was prehistoric; the university has no game-by-game schedules or records before 1977-78. The Wolfpack does confirm it happened, and time only helped magnify the achievement. Wake would not beat State for another 11 years. The Demon Deacons won two in a row in the series and didn’t prevail again until 1996.

Osborne-Halverson earned all-state honors in her final two seasons of basketball, during which she averaged 17.5 points a game. She was an honorable-mention choice in volleyball as a senior.

And when intercollegiate contests weren’t scheduled, she participated on intramural teams that won

arah Hicks represented Virginia Tech in two conferences, and with another year or two, she might have doubled that total.

That’s a function of timing, of course.

It’s also a testament to Hicks’ perseverance and her school’s upward mobility, and it’s an important reason she is honored as the Hokies’ ACC Legend for 2012.

The guard from nearby Roanoke, Va., got her first recruiting contact when Tech was in the Metro Conference. She played in the Atlantic 10 and Big East, earning all-conference distinction in the latter, and graduated two years before the Hokies joined the ACC. She played in three NCAA Tournaments and two WNITs and still thinks the greatest thing in her five years was the season she missed with injury. If she didn’t see it all, she was at least in the metro – not the Metro – area because, like any good shooter, she kept on firing away.

It was undeniably an interesting time to be a Hokie basketball player. The school joined the A-10 in 1995 and, its profile boosted by football, became an attractive candidate for a promotion shortly thereafter.

The common assumption said Tech would be overwhelmed in the Big East..

Hicks and her teammates, who had made the Hokies into A-10 powers, didn’t listen. In the inaugural season of 2000-01, Hicks shot 39 percent from the 3-point line and averaged 10.7 points and 6.0 rebounds against the big, bad Big East as Virginia Tech went 11-5 in its new home and upended No. 21 Villanova in the quarterfinals of the conference tournament.

That put Tech into the NCAAs, in which it dispatched Denver and led at Texas Tech for a half before fading.

Hicks, meanwhile, had proven her toughness. She missed the 1998-99 campaign after undergoing surgery on both shoulders and watched in street clothes as the Hokies stunned SEC power Auburn in the second round of that year’s NCAAs to earn a Sweet 16 trip.

Years later, Hicks describes the association with that team as the highlight of her Tech tenure.

In her redshirt senior season, Hicks made sure to go out on a high note. She became the third Hokie to earn All-Big East honors with a third-team citation in 2002, when she knocked down 64 3-pointers. Her 22-point effort in the WNIT quarterfinals propelled the program into the semis, in which it took Houston to double overtime before losing.

She finished up as a Verizon Academic All-American and the producer of 1,092 career points. She’s still third on Tech’s career chart for 3-pointers (157) and averaged 10.7 points against Top-20 competition over her time.

If anything, Hicks proved the Hokies belonged, and the success of that era fuels hope of advancement in the ACC.

campus titles in basketball and softball.

Another indication of slowly changing times came after her graduation, when she became the first female athletic trainer in the Wake department. She held that post for two years before going to nursing school and starting a successful career in health care.

All the while, she has maintained an affiliation with her alma mater by serving as the analyst on radio broadcasts of Wake women’s basketball the past 15 years. In 2005-06, the Demon Deacons’ coaching staff presented her its annual award for dedication and service to the program.

A member of the Winston-Salem Forsyth County High School Sports Hall of Fame, Osborne-Halverson still lives in the area and is a mother of two. She reflects on her playing days not for what they lacked but for what they provided regardless of the development level.

“Whether you are 10-0 or 0-10, whether you start or sit the pine,” she wrote, “in order for teamwork to be successful, you have to give of yourself to your coaches and to your teammates. That lesson will fuel your success in the future. You will always have something to give.”
