Hoops Feature: Otis Frazier III

By Mark Brunner Strategic Communications In 2022-23, Otis Frazier III was one of 10 newcomers on a rebuilt roster for a UTEP men’s basketball team that returned just one starter and three letterwinners.

Coming off a 20-win season and a postseason berth, the Orange and Blue endured some growing pains on the way to finishing with a 14-18 record.

Though there were some high notes that included the Miners’ first win against NM State (67-64, Nov. 12, 2022) in three years, the longest winning streak (five) in the month of November in four years and claiming the inaugural Jim Forbes Classic, the season left Frazier III with a bitter taste in his mouth.

Rather than dwell on the campaign, Frazier III is focused on 8

@UTEPMBB

one thing, which is in essence the mantra for the program in 202324.

“Flipping the script,” Frazier III said. “We didn’t have the year we wanted last year. We had our ups, we had our downs, things that we could have done better as a team.

Being (back) in the gym this year with having a bunch of older guys, we’ve just been getter prepared to win games.”

He is one of three starters back for UTEP, alongside Calvin Solomon and Tae Hardy. Overall, the Miners returned seven letterwinners and two players that redshirted, giving head coach Joe Golding a foundation to build upon, rather than having to lay it down fresh as was the case in 2022-23.

“When you look at the guys that we brought back, the culture is kind of just what coach Golding wants,” Frazier III said. “It’s easier for the new guys because we show them what to do, whereas last year it was figuring it out while we go. It’ll be good for the younger players as they grow as college athletes, and it’ll also be good for us being able to take that leading position as older guys.”

As to what the culture entails, it boils down to two things, which should be evident to anyone who has ever seen the Miners play since Golding arrived in the Sun City.

“Toughness and togetherness,” Frazier III said. “We pride ourselves on being together as a family, looking out for one another. Looking at the younger guys as little brothers almost. Just having that culture of togetherness and playing tough.”

Teamwise things didn’t go as planned in 2022-23, but individually for Frazier III, he was able to have a significant role on a squad for the first time since his prep years. After averaging 2.6 points and 1.8 rebounds per game in 8.0 minutes per contest while appearing in 34 games over two seasons for George Mason, Frazier III logged 22.9 minutes per game while starting 26 of 29 appearances. He was third on team in rebounding (4.1 rpg), tied for third in offensive rebounds (45), fourth in field goal percentage (50.3) and fifth in scoring (7.5 ppg). He also had eight double-digit scoring efforts and his six And-1s were sec(continued on page 10)

ond on the squad.

Frazier III was content with the chance to be on the court but wasn’t completely satisfied with himself across the board.

“That’s what I came here, to get an opportunity to play,” Frazier III said. “I didn’t have the year I wanted. Some may say I had an alright year, but it’s not really the year I wanted for myself or the team. So, I’m looking forward to this year.”

One thing that he has going for him is the fact that he isn’t starting fresh with a new program or coach. Frazier III sports one year in the system, which bodes well for everybody.

“It makes it better being able to be in the same system, understand what Coach Golding wants, what the other coaches want and what we expect as a team,” Frazier III said. “I already know that stuff.

So, it boosts your confidence a little bit knowing you’re going into war with all the knowledge already.”

Like many around the program, Frazier III’s goals are more team oriented than his own individual success.

@UTEPMBB

“I don’t really pride myself on all that stuff (individual goals,” Frazier III said. “I’m more of a team kind of guy. We want to get to the (NCAA) tournament and try to win some games there.”

One specific area of focus for him is leadership, something he is placing a bigger emphasis on going into his junior year.

“For me on this team as a leader, it’s being one of those energy guys and being vocal,” Frazier III said. “I talked a lot to (former Miner All CUSA honoree) Souley (Boum) while he was here this week. He was a great leader when he was here and at Xavier.

It’s really tough being a leader, but it’s important to sacrifice my own comfortability to for the betterment of the team.”

He has plenty of support to propel him onward, both inside and outside the program. Two of his biggest supporters are his dad and younger 12-year-old brother.

“My dad, that’s my guy. He loves me,” Frazier III said. “I got my little brother too. He posts (on social media) all the time too. My dad played basketball in college (at Butler), so he enjoys seeing me

on TV playing and doing what he did around my age.”

Frazier III had plenty instilled on him by Otis Frazier II, who took his knowledge that he accumulated while playing collegiately at Buter and passed it onto him by serving as his coach when he was growing up.

“He’s a big influence. He made me have that tough kind of aspect that a lot of people don’t really have. It was tough love with me and him all the time,” Frazier III said. “We butted heads a lot but understanding that he was looking out for me the whole time was really good for me. He let me be able to grow as a player and as a son. It was good having him as a role model.”

With the age gap with his brother, Frazier III takes pride in setting a good example for his brother.

“It’s cool, trying to succeed and show my little brother the footsteps that my dad has taken and that I have taken,” Frazier III said. “He’s getting to that age where he’s starting to play in tournaments, so that’s fun to see him grow as a player.”

GOLDING Abilene Christian ‘99 Third Season at UTEP | 25th Season as a Coach Joe Golding, who led Abilene Christian to the NCAA Tournament in two of his final three seasons with the program and an upset win over third-seed Texas in the 2021 “Big Dance” was appointed the 20th head coach in UTEP men’s basketball history on April 13, 2021.

In 2022-23 he had to overhaul the roster after the Miners returned just one starter and three letterwinners total from a 20-win team a year prior. UTEP managed a 14-18 record, including a 67-64 victory against NM State on Nov. 12 for its first win against the

Aggies in three years. That was the start of a five-game winning streak, which was aided by backto-back OT triumphs. UTEP’s five straight victories in November were the longest in the month in four years, which was aided by a mark of 3-0 in the inaugural Jim Forbes Classic Presented by Speaking Rock.

The Miners came within a point of winning the WestStar Don Haskins Sun Bowl Invitational, falling 47-46 to eventual NCAA Tournament participant Kent State on Dec. 22. UTEP experienced a tough 1-4 stretch early in league

play, with those four setbacks by a combined 14 points. The Miners remained resilient on the way to forging seven league triumphs, capped by a 77-65 “Senior Day” triumph against Middle Tennessee on March 4.

Shamar Givance was named to the five-member Conference USA men’s basketball All-Academic team, becoming the first Miner to secure a spot since Dominic Artis (second team) in 2015-16.

Givance also garnered 2022-23 College Sports Communicators’ Academic All-District accolades.

diate success in his first year on the sidelines with the Orange and Blue, directing the Miners to their first 20-win season (20-14) since going 22-11 in 2014-15. UTEP earned a spot in The Basketball Classic for its first postseason appearance since 2015. The Miners defeated Western Illinois, 80-54, on March 19 for their first postseason win since 2009.

UTEP was 11-7 in league play, securing the first winning record in conference action since forging a mark of 12-6 in 2016-17.

That was aided by winning 10 of 14 down the stretch, including halting back-to-back C-USA West Division Champion North Texas’ 15-game winning streak, 70-68, on “Senior Day” on March 5. The Miners then went on to defeat Old Dominion, 74-64, on March 9 for their first victory at the C-USA Championships in five years.

Golding’s charges achieved notable success on the road, compiling their most road wins (seven) since going 8-2 in 2013-14. UTEP (5-4) had its first winning record on the road in league play since 2016-17, and the five league road wins surpassed its total (four) of such games from the prior three seasons combined.

The Miners registered their first road win at LA Tech since

2004, at New Mexico since 2009, at ODU since 2015 and at UTSA since 2015. They also secured the first road sweep of the LA Tech and Southern Miss trip in six years.

UTEP enjoyed a six-game winning streak in conference play (Jan. 15 to Feb. 5), which was the longest since also posting six straight C-USA victories in 2016.

With the Miners finishing at 20-14, Golding joined Don Haskins (18-6, 1961-62), Doc Sadler (27-8, 2004-05) and Tim Floyd (25-10, 2010-11) as the only coaches in program history to have a winning season in their first year on the sidelines. Overall, the prior 19 head coaches combined to forge an average record of 9-13 in their first year with UTEP. Individually, Souley Boum (second team) and Jamal Bieniemy (third team) both earned All-Conference USA accolades. Boum was also a NABC All-District honoree.

Golding, 47, 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 (20112021), including a 71-23 mark over the last three years. ACU chalked up three consecutive 20-win sea-

sons, 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 2019-20 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-toback 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 coCoach 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

@UTEPMBB

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 201314 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 200203 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 1994-98, 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.

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

32

@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 and currently serves as Vice President and Director of Athletics.

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), men’s golf (Aaron Puetz), women’s golf (Steve Sims), rifle (Andrea Palafox), soccer (Gibbs Keeton), softball (T.J. Hubbard) and volleyball (Ben Wallis). With a firm belief that “Every Person Makes a Difference,” Senter has engaged Miner supporters far and wide. He 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. He also orchestrated the addition of UTEP’s 17th Division I sport, beach volleyball, which began competing in the spring of 2023.

On the field, highlights from the Senter era have included the football team earning its first bowl appearance in seven years, volleyball reaching postseason play for the first time ever, women’s cross country capturing its first conference championship, and women’s track and field winning the Conference USA Indoor title. In 2022, a schoolrecord 207 UTEP student-athletes made the Conference USA Commissioner’s Academic Honor Roll (minimum 3.0 GPA). In 2023, 72 Miners were recipients of C-USA 34

@UTEPMBB

Academic Medals (minimum 3.75 GPA), another school standard.

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 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 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

36

@UTEPMBB

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.) High School 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.
