Ready To Go

By Mark Brunner Strategic Communications Redshirt-junior guard Emmanuel White can’t wait for the 202122 season to get here.

The self-described “Three and D” style of player, it’s been a year-and-a half since White last was on the court, and understandably he’s anxious to get going.

“I’m very anxious (to play),” White said. “I haven’t played a game since 2020. I’m really looking forward to getting back out there, especially since it’s going to be my first game playing for UTEP. I’m definitely excited for that.”

The Katy, Texas, native started his career at Coastal Bend College, averaging 13.3 points in 2019-20 before transferring to UTEP for the 2020-21 season. He then redshirted last year, but White knows what he hopes to do.

@UTEPMBB

“I’m looking forward to getting some steals, making some threes,” White said. “I just want to live up to my potential, and help the team win as many games as we can. I’m a ‘three and D’ type of player. I can shoot and I just play really hard.”

UTEP head coach Joe Golding is on board with White being that type of player.

“We want him to hit wideopen shots, keep the ball moving,”

Golding said. “We want him to get after it defensively and play our style. He’s doing a good job of that, and is off to a good start. He’s trying to earn his opportunity. He needs to take advantage of his opportunities when he gets them.”

He’s done a good job of keeping himself ready for whenever Golding calls his name.

“I’ve stayed in the gym, getting in there as much as I can,” White said. “I’ve also been watching film

UTEP MINERS to stay sharp and mentally ready.”

White has also picked up yoga during his hiatus from the basketball court.

“I got into yoga a year and a half ago,” White said. “I’m stretching way more. It’s definitely helped me on the court too.”

His efforts have drawn the attention of Golding.

“He’s very consistent,” Golding said. “What I’ve liked about him from day one is he’s really been coachable, he’s bought in to what we’re doing. He knows exactly what his role should be, and he does it really, really well. I’m excited about him, and what he brings to our team.”

It’s also been beneficial for White to be reunited with a longtime friend and current Miner, Jamal Bieniemy.

“I’ve known JB (Jamal Bieniemy) since first grade,” White said.

“We went to high school together, led our team to state. To get to play together in college is great.

Now that we’re at the next level, we’re trying to take it as far as we can.”

White knows that one day his playing days will come to an end, but he’s already got a plan in place.

“My major is kinesiology,” White said. “One day I want to be a physical therapist working with pro athletes.”

For now, all of his focus is on the upcoming season. But he appreciates as well that he’s living out a lifelong dream of playing college basketball, being sure to credit his family for their role in his growth and development.

“My parents, and my little brother too, showed me persistence in chasing your goals,” White said. “I knew (he could play at the college level) around middle school or early in high school.”

And he’s enjoying every moment of it so far.

“It’s been great (playing with Coach Golding),” White said. “He’s teaching us the right stuff. He’s a good coach, and I’m excited about the journey that we’re about to go on.”

The 6-5 guard is soft spoken and chill off the court, but he can 10

@UTEPMBB

flip the switch when it’s time to get going on the court. He also credits Golding for his leadership to get the guys going and with changing the culture.

“Coach Golding sets the culture for the type of team that we’re going to be,” White said.

“We’re going to bring energy every day. It’s hard not to feed off of that. I know the Don is going to be going crazy. You just have to flip that switch. Playing for Coach Golding, it’s like it’s naturally in

you. He’s good at making sure you’re playing hard all the time.”

Most players dream about knocking down a game-winning basket, but if it were up to White he’d take a charge to win the game. His explanation is matter of fact.

“That’s just our culture here.

Coach Golding is big on taking charges so I’d definitely do that.”

With the 2021-22 season now here, any and everything is possible for White and the Miners.

UTEP Head Coach

Joe GOLDING Abilene Christian ‘99 First Season at UTEP 23rd Season as a Coach Joe Golding, who led Abilene Christian to the NCAA Tournament in two of the past three seasons and an upset win over third-seed Texas in this year’s March Madness, was appointed the 20th head coach in UTEP men’s basketball history on April 13, 2021.

Golding, 46, performed a remarkable turnaround at ACU after shepherding the Wildcats’ transition from Division II to Division I. He guided the Wildcats to a record of 158-144 in 10 seasons at the helm of the program (2011-2021), including a 71-23 mark over the last three years. ACU chalked

12

@UTEPMBB

up three consecutive 20-win seasons, finishing with a 27-7 mark in 2018-19, the most wins in program history. ACU finished 20-11 overall and 15-5 in league play during the 201920 season before the postseason was canceled due to the emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic. It marked just the second time in program history that the team put together back-to-back 20-win seasons including the postseason; the first came during coach Golding’s playing days.

Golding directed ACU to a 24-5 overall record and a 13-2 Southland Conference mark

during the 2020-21 campaign.

The Wildcats claimed the Southland Conference tournament title, and the first NCAA Tournament win in program history when #14 seed ACU shocked the heavily favored Longhorns, 53-52, in the first round on March 20. Golding was named the NABC District 22 co-Coach of the Year, while Kolton Kohl was selected to the All-District 22 first team.

Kohl was also named to the 2020-21 All-Southland Conference first team, while Joe Pleasant earned second team All-League honors and Coryon Mason garnered third team

recognition. Damien Daniels, Reggie Miller and Mason were also tabbed to the league All-Defensive team.

Golding, who played point guard at ACU from 1994-98, took over as the head coach at his alma mater in 2011. In his first season, the Wildcats were 12-16 overall and 4-14 in the Lone Star Conference. ACU began competing at the Division I level during the 2013-14 season. Four years later, they reached the postseason (College Insider Tournament) and, the year after that, they were in the Big Dance.

Golding’s teams have also excelled in the classroom with a perfect 1,000 Academic Progress Rate (APR) in each of the last four years, and a 3.2 grade point average this season.

Every one of his players who exhausted their eligibility graduated from ACU. Golding’s first coaching job was as a varsity assistant at South Garland High School, where he helped the team to back-to-back Class 5A playoff appearances. He spent the 2001-02 season as an assistant coach at Seminole Junior

College before taking the head coaching job at Sachse High School. During the program’s first years at the 5A level, Golding led the team to a 15-14 record in 2002-03 and an 18-10 mark in 2003-04. Golding spent the 2004-05 season as an assistant coach at Collin County Community College, and the next three seasons (2005-08) as the top assistant to head coach Jason Copeland at ACU before joining head coach Steve Shields’ staff at Arkansas Little Rock. His three years at UALR (2008-11) produced a Sun Belt Conference title and an appearance in the NCAA Tournament.

Golding was a four-year letterwinner at ACU from 199498, playing in all 108 games, and was given the Teague Point Guard Award as a senior.

He shot 46 percent from the floor over his four-year career, and averaged 4.2 assists per game. He graduated from ACU with a bachelor’s degree in exercise and sport science in May of 1999.

Golding and his wife, Amanda, have two sons, Cason and Chase.

UTEP MINERS

The University of Texas at El Paso

The University of Texas at El Paso is one of the largest and most successful Hispanicserving institutions in the country, with a student body that is over 80% Hispanic.

26

@UTEPMBB

It enrolls more than 25,000 students in 166 bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral programs in 10 colleges and schools. With more than $100 million in total annual

research expenditures, UTEP is ranked in the top 5% of research institutions nationally and fifth in Texas for federal research expenditures at public universities.

UTEP MINERS

This Is UTEP

School Name

The State School of Mines and Metallurgy opened in September 1914 because city leaders shared a vision for higher education. In 1920, it became known as Texas College of Mines (TCM). To better reflect its role as an expanding regional college campus, the school changed its name in 1949 to Texas Western College. In 1967, it became The University of Texas at El Paso.

School Colors

UTEP’s original colors were burnt orange and white, adopted from The University of Texas, and shared with UT San Antonio.

In 1980, when President Haskell Monroe came to campus, he found

28

@UTEPMBB

that many individuals desired to give UTEP an identity of its own by changing the school’s colors. Early on Dr. Monroe was presented with a proposal to change the colors to orange and blue.

Unfortunately, UT San Antonio changed their colors to orange and blue just days before UTEP’s proposal was presented. This minor issue was quickly resolved by altering the shades of orange and blue. The chosen orange was more “brownish” than “burnt” and was thought to resemble the mountains at the pass. The blue was slightly darker than the blue being used by the old NFL team, the Houston Oilers; the color was identified as “El Paso Bright Blue Sky.” Officially, the academic colors of all the institutions in the UT System were orange and

white, but for athletic purposes, additional or substitute colors could be used with the Board’s approval. Monroe presented his argument and the color selection to the Board of Regents and they voted in UTEP’s favor.

Mascot Paydirt Pete

In the spring of 1919, the registrar for the School of Mines, Ruth Monro Augur, designed the institution’s first official seal. The seal featured a head of a spade with a mining burro superimposed on it. This burro, noted the Prospector student newspaper at the time, was to be the school’s first mascot.

The University of Texas at El Paso’s first live mascot was a burro. But Paydirt Pete — UTEP’s pickaxe-wielding mascot with the smooth mustache and square chin — has been an indelible symbol of the University’s athletic prowess and Miner spirit for more than 40 years.

Since 1974 when the moniker “Paydirt Pete” was adopted, fans have watched the mighty mascot undergo six incarnations.

Paydirt Pete started as a Disney-like character in 1980. He developed muscles and a smoking habit in 1983, but ditched the cigar three years later. Pete exchanged his mining helmet for a cowboy hat and a handlebar mustache in 1999, then became a scraggly miner the following year. In 2005, he was finally transformed into the “Magnum, P.I.” look-alike that Miner fans love today.

UTEP Director Of Athletics

Jim SENTER

Jim Senter was named UTEP’s Director of Athletics on Nov. 22, 2017.

To say that Senter has been busy since arriving in the Sun City would be quite the understatement.

He has hired head coaches for football (Dana Dimel), men’s basketball (Joe Golding), rifle (Austin Litherland), soccer (Kathryn Balogun), volleyball (Ben Wallis) and softball (T.J. Hubbard) and men’s golf (Aaron Puetz). With a firm belief that “Every Person Makes a Difference,” Senter has engaged Miner supporters far and wide. He organized a series of Town Hall meetings across El Paso, and established UTEP’s first-ever Fan Council. He also ushered in sweeping changes to the iconic Sun Bowl Stadium, with the addition of indoor and outdoor club seating, loge boxes, suites, the GECU Terrace, Hunt Family Sky Lounge and Paul and Alejandra Foster Tower.

On the field, highlights from the Senter era have included the women’s cross country team capturing its first conference championship, women’s track and field winning the Conference USA Indoor title, and women’s golf posting three consecutive tournament victories for the first time in school history. The men’s and women’s basketball, football, soccer and volleyball squads have all exhibited significant improvement under his leadership.

In 2021, a school-record 202 UTEP studentathletes made the Conference USA Commissioner’s Academic Honor Roll (minimum 3.0 GPA), 30

@UTEPMBB

and 71 Miners -- also a school record -- were recipients of C-USA Academic Medals (minimum 3.75 GPA).

Senter served as Director of Intercollegiate Athletics at The Citadel, The Military College of South Carolina, from 201417. During that time he hired head coaches in football, men’s basketball, baseball, soccer and volleyball.

Senter’s fundraising efforts resulted in significant improvements being made to the football, basketball and baseball facilities. He grew scholarship endowment by nearly $6 million in cash and pledges over three years.

His total fundraising numbers set school records.

Senter grew football attendance by more than 3,000 spectators per game, and the Bulldogs led the Southern Conference in attendance. They posted a 10-win season in 2016 and a nine-victory campaign in 2015.

Academically, 174 Bulldog student-athletes garnered

placement on the Southern Conference Honor Roll in 2017.

The year prior, The Citadel produced two CoSIDA (College Sports Information Directors of America) Academic All-Americans.

Senter went to The Citadel after spending seven years (200613) at the University of Colorado, where he worked his way up to Senior Associate Athletic Director for External Operations. Senter was the sport supervisor for the Colorado football, skiing, men’s and women’s golf programs.

He also had supervision over the Chief Marketing Officer and numerous other areas including facilities, sports medicine, sports performance, game and event management and equipment services.

He began his tenure at Colorado as Associate AD for Development. In that role, his responsibilities included all fundraising efforts, including the annual fund (student-athlete scholarships), major gifts and coordinating all donation-related activities and staff. He was later

! s r e d n e T r

UTEP MINERS elevated to Associate Athletic Director.

Before Colorado, Senter served as Associate Athletic Director for Development/Senior Associate AD for External Sales at San Diego State for 18 months.

Aligned closely with the University foundation, he was responsible for overseeing the athletic department’s development efforts, including major gifts.

He spent 2003-05 as Director of Athletics at Idaho State University, a 16-sport Division I-AA program. He engineered a 19 percent increase in football attendance and a $600,000 leap in advertising, marketing and corporate sales.

Senter began his college athletic career at the University of

32

@UTEPMBB

Idaho. After working as assistant head football coach and recruiting coordinator, he branched out into the administrative side. He served as Assistant and Associate Athletic Director of Development from 1998-2003 in a chief fundraising capacity. He was responsible for the university’s Capital Campaign for Athletics, helping raise money for a $13 million athletic facility expansion. He also ran the annual fund for Vandal athletics, overseeing the work of 48 national directors and planning the fiscal budget.

During his coaching days, Senter was in charge of the defensive line, linebackers and secondary. He was a part of Idaho’s run to a 52-21 record over seven seasons and six NCAA

playoff appearances.

Senter began his coaching career at Coffeyville Community College in Kansas, where he was a student assistant in 1981 and 1982. He later held that role at his alma mater, the University of Tulsa, from 1983-85 before moving on to Idaho.

Senter earned his bachelor’s degree in physical education from Tulsa in 1985, and added a master’s degree in recreation from Idaho in 1992 while serving on the football coaching staff.

He was born in Doylestown, Pa., and graduated from Jay (Okla.) HS where he was a football letter winner. He is married to the former Susan Beck and the couple has four children -- Shawna, Derick, Matthew and Samantha.
