Legend of the Phoenix Throughout history there is told the legend of the rare and remarkable Phoe-nix, a crimson and gold bird that lived 500 years. It was sleek, swift and strong - the most marvelous bird ever created by human imagination. At the end of its life, with death approaching, it built a nest in an oak tree and was consumed in flames ignited by the sun. From the ashes emerged the next Phoenix - reborn and renewed, with strength forged in fire. Fire, too, has shaped the history of Elon University. The disastrous fire of 1923 all but destroyed Elon. Gone were Main Building, college records, class-rooms, the library and the chapel. But within days of the fire, Elon trustees set in motion the plan for Elon to rise from the ashes, stronger than ever. The Phoenix is a powerful leader and an emblem of immortality. It is a

perfect symbol for a school that is constantly renewing and recreating itself. The Elon motto, Numen Lumen, em-braces intellec-tual and spiritual light. And so too, throughout history, the Phoe-nix has served as a symbol of light and knowledge. The Phoenix is timeless and unique. It perfectly describes an athletics program and an institution that are rising to new levels of excellence. There is only one Phoenix. There is only one Elon. Catch the Fire!

Did You Know?

• Elon has 4,995 undergraduates from 47 states, the District of Columbia and 49 other countries.• Elon is nationally recognized for engaged learning programs including the Elon Experiences: internships, study abroad, un-dergraduate research, leadership and volunteer service.• Elon ranks first among U.S. master’s-level universities in the number of students studying abroad with 71% of recent graduates having spent at least one term abroad.• With the help of the Elon Career Center, 84% of Elon students participate in internships.• For three straight years, Elon was named to the President’s Higher Education Community Service Honor Roll by the Corpo-ration for National and Community Services, the highest federal recognition a school can achieve for its commitment to service learning and civic engagement.

“The thing that has impressed me most about Elon is how every-one here truly takes an interest in you as a student, as an athlete and most of all a person. Your professors will know you on a first-name basis. I still keep up with many of my professors even if I only had them for one class. This personal interest has helped me succeed in the classroom and has also helped to put a few more familiar faces in the stands. The students and staff at Elon are very personable. It is almost unheard of to walk to class and not have somebody at least say “Hey” to you. Even the ladies in the cafeterias know me by my first name. I feel very comfortable knowing that I have people surrounding me with my best interest at heart, and I know it will help me succeed in the classroom, on the court and in life.”

The Elon men’s basketball program begins a new era in 2009-10 under the leadership of first-year head coach Matt Matheny. Matheny, in his inaugural role as a head coach, is looking to revitalize a program that made the move to Division I ten years ago. The 2009-10 Phoenix team is a bal-anced group of youth and experience with the roster made up of six seniors and juniors and six sophomores and freshmen. Elon lost its top two scorers and rebounders from the 2008-09 team to graduation, but its returning upper-classmen have contributed solid minutes throughout their careers. Matheny sat down to discuss his decision to come to Elon, the upcom-ing season and his goals of making Elon men’s basketball a consistent contender in the Southern Conference.

What attracted you to Elon University?

Feel and fit. When I walked on this beautiful campus for the first time, it felt very comfortable. President Lambert de-scribed it to me one time as community and that is very much how it feels here. I’m from Statesville, N.C., a town not far from here, and Elon reminds me a lot of my hometown with such a strong sense of community. There is so much potential here. Elon is a hidden gem. It is the number one school to watch in America. The campus and the community are simmering with burning desire to support the program. Everywhere you go in Elon and Burling-ton, you see Elon hats, shirts and bumper stickers.

Has anything surprised you since you’ve been here?

The energy level and the interest level in Elon University in this community have surprised me. To see all the people on campus and in the area that have an interest is encouraging. There are so many connections throughout the community. People are excited about what is going on with our program and here at Elon. There is much more interest in the university and its athletic teams than I realized.

Talk about little bit about your vision for Elon men’s basketball. We are going to build this program over time, building a solid foundation as we go. We did not come here to try to make a quick fix. I have learned from my previous coaching experience the impor-tance of starting on firm ground. We will take the time to implement our system and establish that foundation. We will take the time to teach the minute details of how we want the system to work.

What are some of your first impressions of your new team?

We have great guys on this team. The character and quality of the person in our program is of utmost importance. These are the guys that you are going to go to class with, share a dorm room with, eat with and go to battle with every day in practice and in games. Our team chemis-try is, and will continue to be, important to this program.

We have tremendous senior leader-ship as well. I am fortunate to have a group of players that get along very well and that stems from the leadership of our four seniors. Adam Constantine is a vocal leader who we refer to as the mayor of Elon. Everyone on campus knows Adam and our players can feed off his energy. Devan Carter has spent countless hours in the gym, working to improve his game. Jon Ogolo and TJ Douglas have worked hard to better themselves physi-cally and have exhibited a renewed com-mitment to improvement. The seniors are a great strength of ours.

What are some of the goals you have for this team?

We started a 12-month mission last March. The players have a good un-derstanding that this is a year-round commitment to becoming better as both an individual player and as a team. Our goals are to get better every day, to have fun and to play to win. We talk about it every day in practice. If we are together for two hours, we want to be better after those 120 minutes than we were before we started.

Senior Devan Carter has seen action in 88 games over three years, averaging a

career-best 7.1 points per game as a junior.


What style of play will you implement?

We will play an up-tempo, attacking style. We will try to dictate the pace and flow of the game and try to take advan-tage of any opportunity that presents itself. It is a fun style to play and is exciting for our fans to watch. We want there to be a great atmosphere in Alumni Gym which will provide us with a great homecourt advantage.

When you and your staff are recruiting, what types of qualities do you look for?

It is important to recruit young men that will fit well here. We don’t want to re-cruit tremendous talents that don’t fit here on a campus of 5,000 students. We aren’t just recruiting basketball players; we are recruiting student-athletes.

We look for qualities such as tough-ness. Not just physical toughness, but mental toughness. There are going to be tremendous highs and lows throughout any season or school year. Student-ath-letes face adversity on and off the court and with toughness and guidance they can and will reach their full potential. We also want young men who have a strong work ethic and realize that they will need to put in the time to get better individu-ally and as a team. They also need to be coachable. Young men who will listen, work and are tough enough to face and overcome adversity can work together as a team to accomplish great things.

Why should a student-athlete choose Elon?

It is easy to represent Elon. If you set foot in this town and on this beautiful campus, you can see how much people love it here. The opportunities that exist here both athletically and academically are extraordinary.

One of the great things about the aca-demic philosophy is the engaged learn-ing, or hands-on learning approach. Elon has all of the great qualities and oppor-tunities that a university provides in an atmosphere that still maintains the values of a small college campus. Students get to know their professors. The profes-sors care about their students as people, while also wanting to provide them with a great education. The small classroom sizes and unique design of the buildings help foster interaction with professors and students as well as raise the expecta-tion of an emphasis on engaged learning.

Elon also offers the best of both worlds in terms of environment. It is a small town and in many ways a safe ha-ven to focus on academics and athletics. But, students are only 20 minutes away from the thriving metropolitan city of Greensboro and 45 minutes away from the capital of the state in Raleigh. Junior Chris Long led the team and ranked

second in the Southern Conference with an average of 4.0 assists per game last season.

We are also right in the middle of basketball country. Basketball fans in this area are as excitable and knowledgeable as any in the country.

Most importantly, it is the people here that make Elon special. This is a great community to live, study and learn and to thrive as a person and student-athlete.

Elon will be on the big stage several times this year, competing in the Pre-season NIT and battling Wake Forest and NC State during the non-conference schedule. Talk a little bit about your scheduling philosophy.

What we want to do is give the guys the experience to play in the greatest ven-ues in the country and play against some of the greatest competition in the country. We want to put our players in situations where they will be challenged both by the opponent and the arena. We want our guys to be battle-tested so it will prepare them for the hostile environments in the Southern Conference.

We also want to play as many games as we can in cities or areas of the country where we will recruit student-athletes that will fit at Elon. We want Elon to be-come a recognizable name so people will begin to find out about this incredible university.

Senior Adam Constantine, the “unofficial mayor of Elon” has become a vocal leader for the Phoenix. He was the most proficient scorer on the squad last season, connecting

on 57.3 percent of his field goals.

Senior TJ Douglas has been known to knock down big shots for the Phoenix. The sharp-

shooter has nailed 93 career three-pointers.

Matt MathenyHead CoachFirst Season at ElonDavidson ‘92

Elon University Director of Athletics Dave Blank introduced Matt Matheny as the Phoenix’s 17th head men’s basketball coach in March 2009. Matheny, who came to Elon after serving on the staff at Davidson College for 16 seasons, will lead the Phoenix into the program’s 101st season this fall – 11th at the NCAA Division I level and seventh in the Southern Conference. A 1992 Davidson graduate, Matheny spent 10 seasons (1993-2003) as an assistant coach for head coach Bob McKillop’s Wildcats before being promoted to the associate head coach in 2003. After spending another six campaigns (2003-09) in that role,

Matheny, 39, was involved in more victories that any other assistant coach in Davidson’s history. The former Wildcat football and basketball team captain had been part of McKillop’s staff since August 1, 1993. During their time on the bench together, Davidson collected 310 victories – over 19 wins per season – with 10 SoCon division titles, five SoCon tournament championships, five NCAA tournament appearances and four postseason NIT trips. “We were looking for a leader with integrity, character and enthusiasm ... Someone that had demonstrated the ability to lead and win,” Blank said. “We were looking for someone that is committed to the importance of the co-existence of athletic and academic excellence, who has been in that environment and would understand what we need to do here at Elon University to maintain integrity in both areas. We landed on Matt Matheny.” Matheny, who was born in Shelby, N.C., and grew up in Statesville, N.C., was a three-sport standout at North Iredell High School. While his intention had always been to go to Wake Forest or Duke, his plans were altered when he was recruited to play football at Davidson.


During his college days, he lettered four years for Davidson’s football team as a quarterback and wide receiver and two years as a point guard for the Wildcats’ men’s basketball squad before graduating with a Bachelor of Arts in History. Following graduation, Matheny headed overseas to Germany to play a summer of American football. It was then that McKillop contacted him about an assistant coaching job, a position he didn’t necessarily expect would become his life’s work. Having always planned to go to law school after college, Matheny assumed the job would be a stopover before he furthered his education. “The more I coached, the more I grew to love it,” Matheny said. “A coach can play an influencial role in the life of a college athlete.” His love of basketball and his role in it is evident by the success of the teams of which he has been a part. Throughout Matheny’s time on the bench, Davidson produced 10 campaigns of 20 or more victories, three undefeated Southern Conference regular seasons, 26 All-SoCon players and six SoCon All-Freshman selections. McKillop has touted Matheny on numerous occasions for his excellent scouting and ability to communicate the information to the players. Matheny was a critical part of Davidson’s memorable run to the NCAA Tournament’s Elite Eight in 2007-08. “Our program here at Elon is going to revolve around student-athletes,” Matheny said. “Our mission is to give

our student-athletes a wonderful college experience. We are going to prepare these young men for life after Elon. That said, we want to go to the NCAA Tournament.” While coaching at Davidson, Matheny immersed himself in all facets of college coaching. He spent time serving as the team’s academic advisor, camp

What Others are Saying about Matt Matheny

“Matt Matheny was a great hire at Elon. I have known Matt for years and he will bring the same kind of class and character to Elon that he and Bob McKillop have brought to Davidson. He has a great feel for recruiting and coaching at the Division I level. I look forward to watching his teams develop in the years to come!”

John BeileinUniversity of Michigan Head Coach

“Matt Matheny is an outstanding coach who got the absolute best out of me everyday during my tenure at Davidson. He recruited me, saw my potential and helped develop me into the player that I am today. He is a great person to be around be-cause he relates so well with people. He is certainly deserving of this new opportunity at Elon and I’m sure that he will do a tremendous job in all aspects of the job, from coaching to recruiting to develop-ing his players for life after basketball. I wish him the best.”

“Matt is a terrific teacher, a superb leader and an even better person.”

Jay BilasESPN Basketball Analyst

“Matt is an excellent hire for Elon University. Elon has tabbed someone who has had a lot to do with the success at Davidson College, both as a player and an assistant coach. There’s no doubt Matt will represent Elon University in a positive way.”

Rick BarnesUniversity of Texas Head Coach

“Coach Matheny has been an influential part of my success not only as a college athlete, but also as a professional athlete. He has helped me on the court with workouts, studying film, and scouting oppenents as well as off the court in life. Coach Ma-theny is a perfect example of a class act person and coach. He will become very successful as a college coach in the years to come.”

Sweeney came to the Phoenix program following one season with the Bucknell Bison of the Patriot League. Prior to his year at Bucknell, Sweeney served two seasons with Matheny at Davidson College. Sweeney began his collegiate coaching career as an assistant at the University of Rochester, his alma mater, for three seasons. “Tim is a blue collar basketball coach,” stated Matheny. “He’ll roll up his sleeves and grind it out on the court, in the recruiting world and in the Elon community. Tim has a great basketball mind and a great way of imparting that knowledge to the student-athlete.” In his two seasons at Davidson, Sweeney was a part of a Wildcats program that went 58-12, won two SoCon titles and made two NCAA Tournament appearances. In his last year as a member of the Davidson staff, the Wildcats advanced to the Elite Eight where they fell just short of knocking off eventual national champion Kansas. Sweeney was on Davidson’s staff as Stephen Curry became just the fourth player in NCAA history to score 30

or more points in his first four NCAA Tournament games. Curry went on to be a second team All-America choice by The Associated Press, Sports Illustrated and The Sporting News. In addition to his role in game execution, scouting and player development, Sweeney coordinated Davidson’s underclassman recruiting efforts, co-directed the team’s summer camp, managed team travel, coordinated the program’s digital scouting system and edited the team newsletter. In his time at Rochester (2003-06), the Yellowjackets produced a 66-16 record and captured University Athletic Association championships in 2004 and 2005. The program advanced to the Division III national title game in 2005 and made it to the Sweet 16 in 2004. “I could not be more excited to be reunited with Matt Matheny here at Elon,” Sweeney said. “For me it is an opportunity to work with one of the brightest coaches in the business, at one of the fastest rising schools in the nation. Elon has strong ambition without sacrificing its values.” During his playing days at Rochester, Sweeney was a four-year All-UAA guard and team captain as both a junior and senior. He helped lead his teams to a combined 77-30 record along with a trip to the Division III Final Four in 2002 and the Sweet 16 in 2003. He ranks among the top-10 in school history in assists, three-point field goals and free throw percentage. Sweeney was also a three-time UAA All-Academic Team member and served as vice president of the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee. He graduated cum laude with a degree in political science in 2003.

Dr. Leo M. LambertElon University President

Since becoming Elon University’s eighth president in January 1999, Leo M. Lambert has advanced an ambitious agenda to establish Elon as a top-ranked liberal arts university and a national model of engaged teaching and learning. Under President Lambert’s leadership, Elon has accomplished broad improve-ments in academic and student life programs while continuing to develop a campus that consistently ranks among the nation’s most beautiful. The academic climate of the campus has been strengthened through major investments in faculty development, library resources, honors and fellows programs for outstanding students, and Elon’s top-ranked programs in study abroad, undergraduate research, volun-teer service, and leadership education.

In 2001 Elon College became Elon University, and the NewCentury@Elon strategic plan was developed under President Lambert’s leadership. He di-rected the establishment of Elon College, the College of Arts and Sciences and both the School of Communications and the School of Education that same year. In 2006, Dr. Lambert led the drive to open the Elon University School of Law in downtown Greensboro, North Carolina. New facilities constructed during President Lambert’s tenure include Carol Grotnes Belk Library, Rhodes Stadium, Belk Track and White Field, the six-build-ing Academic Village, Ernest A. Koury Sr. Business Center, Ellington Health Center, The Oaks residence hall complex, Colon-nades Dining Hall and the Colonnades residence halls. President Lambert has assumed a number of leadership roles regionally and nationally, serving on the national and North Carolina boards of Campus Com-pact and as a founding board member and president’s council chair of Project Pericles, a national organization that encourages students to become civically engaged in their communities. As a result, Elon has twice been named one of the nation’s top universities for community service in the President’s Higher Educa-tion Community Service Honor Roll.

President Lambert has provided leadership on athletics issues, serving as a member of the NCAA Presidential Task Force on the Future of Division I Athlet-ics and chairing the NCAA Committee on Athletics Certification. In 2008 Dr. Lambert was appointed to the Commission on Effective Leadership by the American Council on Education and also to the North Carolina Higher Educa-tion Civic Education Study Commission. In 2009, he was named a director of the Association of American Colleges and Uni-versities (AAC&U), which comprises more than 1,150 public and private colleges and universities of every type and size. President Lambert’s alma mater, the State University of New York at Geneseo, awarded him an honorary doctorate of humane letters in 2002 in recognition of exceptional achievements in higher education. In 2005 he was awarded the Thomas Z. Osborne Distinguished Citi-zen Award, which is the highest honor bestowed by the Greensboro, North Carolina, Chamber of Commerce. Lambert has a bachelor’s degree from State University of New York at Geneseo, a master’s in education from the University of Vermont in Burling-ton, and a doctorate in education from Syracuse University. Prior to coming to Elon, he was provost and vice chancellor for academic affairs at the University of Wisconsin–La Crosse. President Lambert’s greatest honor in life, in collaboration with his wife Laurie, has been the privilege of parenting two daughters, Callie, a student at the Wake Forest University School of Medicine, and Mollie, a student at Furman University.

The Phoenix captured regular-season Southern Conference titles in both men’s soccer and baseball with the baseball squad advancing to its third NCAA regional appearance in the past four seasons. The men’s tennis team fell just one win shy of a berth into NCAA play, but saw its first-ever individuals earn spots into the post-season tournament. In 2007-08, 12 of Elon’s 16 sports programs finished higher in the Southern Conference than the previous year. The Phoenix baseball team went on to claim SoCon outright regular-season and tourna-ment crowns en route to a NCAA regional appearance. Also, Elon fell just one victory shy of capturing the SoCon’s automatic NCAA postseason bid in football, men’s basketball and men’s tennis.

During the 2006-07 season, Elon notched its first winning record in men’s soccer at the Division I level and posted SoCon outright regular-season and tour-nament titles and an NCAA postseason appearance in men’s tennis. The Phoenix men’s soccer (2006), foot-ball (2007 and 2008), men’s tennis (2007, 2008 and 2009) and baseball (2008 and 2009) teams have all earned national rank-ings during Blank’s time at Elon. Blank became the Elon Director of Ath-letics in 2006 after spending six years as the

Director of Athletics at Drake University. At Drake, he directed an 18-sport NCAA Division I athletics program that com-petes in the Missouri Valley Conference.

He was responsible for the creation of a comprehensive academic assistance pro-gram. During his tenure, Drake student-athletes consistently posted a combined grade point average of 3.0 or above. Also, Blank oversaw the addition of the women’s crew, women’s golf and women’s soccer programs at Drake. Facility enhancements were a priority, including upgrades in the softball complex, renovation of the strength and condition-ing facilities and new locker rooms for several sports. Under Blank’s guidance, Drake completed a $17 million renovation of Drake Stadium, which hosts football, soccer, and track and field events as well as the nationally known Drake Relays. Blank has served as a member of the NCAA I-AA Governance and Football Is-sues Committees. In 2005, he received Gen. Robert R. Neyland Outstanding Athletics Director accolades from the All-American Football Foundation. Prior to 2000, Blank worked at Coastal Carolina University where he served as Assistant/Associate Director of Athletics for three years (1996-99) and Director of Athletics for one year (1999-2000). While at Coastal Carolina, Blank spearheaded efforts to raise more than $4 million to es-tablish an intercollegiate football program

“Our athletic department here at Elon is committed to ensuring that our student-athletes have a quality experience — one that affords them opportunities to compete for championships while pursuing gradua-tion at one of the best universities in the country.”

Phoenix Club Phoenix Club donors provide annual scholarship support that enables student-athletes to succeed not only in the South-ern Conference, but also in the classroom. Gifts have an immediate impact on the entire athletics program and on each of our student-athletes. When the Phoenix Club first began, Elon was 40 scholar-ships below the maximum allowed by the NCAA. Thanks to our many gener-ous donors, Elon has narrowed that gap to 32 scholarships. Elon has built an impressive winning tradition, capturing four national cham-pionships, more than 100 conference titles and 12 conference excellence awards — without the advan-tages of additional scholarships. Phoenix Club gifts have the power to take Elon athletics to even greater heights while giving student-athletes an exceptional education. Since the Phoenix Club orgin-ated, Elon has captured seven regular-season championships in multiple sports. Fifty percent of our student-athletes have a GPA of 3.0 or higher. Contributors to athletics have been among Elon’s most generous benefac-tors, providing the university with excel-

lent facilities, which have attracted out-standing coaches. Scholarship support is the remaining component to ensure that Elon sustains a winning tradition. To be successful, the Phoenix Club needs to raise $1.2 million dollars to fund scholar-ship needs. Phoenix Club members enjoy numer-ous benefits, the most important being that they make a difference in the life of

a student-athlete. Phoenix Club donors who make annual gifts of $1,500 or higher are also members of the Elon Society, the university’s top annual giving group. The IMPACT

Circle is the premier giving group of the Phoenix Club. IMPACT (I Make Phoenix Athletics Competitive Today) Circle members make annual gifts at the quarter, half or full scholarship level, set each year by Elon trustees. Donors may make a four-year scholarship pledge at a fixed amount or make gifts at the level set annually by the trustees.

“We are proud to support 16 men’s and women’s NCAA Division I sports, including over 350 student-athletes who are competing for championships every year. Our goal is to provide each sport with the full amount of scholarship funding allowable by the NCAA. Joining the Phoenix Club is the most important way you can provide assistance for our student-athletes and help in our quest for excellence in Division I athletics and the Southern Conference.”

Dave Blank,Elon Director of Athletics

Giving GuideEndowment GiftsMany donors honor family members, teammates or a favorite coach with an endowment gift, which serves as a lasting tribute to a loved one or mentor. Phoenix Club donors may endow an ath-letic scholarship over a five-year pledge period.

Endowment gifts generate annual earn-ings that ensure the university’s long-term success and enable Elon Athletics to fund scholarships that will have a lasting impact on student-athletes. Elon has more than 70 endowed scholarships, totaling approximately $4 million.

Matching GiftsMany companies will match an em-ployee’s charitable contribution, often doubling or even tripling the amount of the original gift. Contact your employer’s human resources department to find out more about its matching gift policy.

Ways to GiveTax-deductible gifts to the Phoenix Club may be made by cash, check (made pay-able to the Phoenix Club), credit card (Visa, MasterCard, Discover or American Express), electronic funds transfer (one-time or recurring drafts) or transfer of stocks and securities.

All-Conference Nod Senior forward Ola Atoyebi was se-lected to the Southern Conference Sports Media Association third team after lead-ing Elon in both scoring and rebounding last year. Averaging 13.9 points per game, Atoyebi concluded the year ranked 10th in the league in scoring. He was also listed fourth in the conference with a 57.6 field goal percentage.

James Joins 1,000 Point Club Against Lees-McRae on December 19, senior Brett James netted 16 points to be-come the 32nd player in the 100 seasons of Elon basketball to reach the 1,000-point plateau. James finished his career ranked 15th all-time at Elon with 1,305 points.

Celebrating History The 2008-09 season represented the 100th season of basketball at Elon. The program did not run for 100 consecutive

seaons, however, as the school suspend-ed its athletics programs during World War II. The men’s basketball team was the second Elon program to reach 100 seasons — the baseball team played its 100th season in 2002.

Hanging in the Rafters On February 7, Elon formally retired the jerseys of all-time great men’s basket-ball players Jesse Branson and Tommy Cole. Branson played at Elon from 1961-65 and wore number 40. He was Elon’s first basketball All-American and the first ever to exceed 2,000 career points. His point total of 2,241 still stands as the record today along with 13 other current records that remain standing. Wearing number 34, Cole played for the maroon and gold from 1968-72. Cole poured in 2,214 points of his own while also dishing out an Elon record 705 assists. Brett James became the 32nd Elon player

to join the 1,000 point club.

The Southern Confer-ence, which enters its 89th season of intercol-legiate competition in 2009, has become known as one of the nation’s leaders in emphasizing the devel-opment of the student-athlete and defining the league’s role in helping to build lifelong leaders and role models. The Conference currently consists of 12 members in five states throughout the Southeast and sponsors 19 varsity sports and championships that produce participants

for NCAA Division I Championships. The Southern Conference is the na-tion’s fifth-oldest NCAA Division I col-legiate athletic association. Only the Big Ten (1896), the Missouri Valley (1907), the Pacific 10 (1915) and the Southwestern Athletic (1920) conferences are older in terms of origination. Throughout its history, the Southern Conference has been an innovator in college athletics. The Southern Confer-ence was the first “super conference” with its charter membership including the likes of Alabama, Auburn, and North Carolina. The SoCon, as it has come to be known by headline writers throughout the country, is the league that gave birth to the three-point shot in college basket-ball and was the college home of such sporting greats as Arnold Palmer, Jerry West and Charlie “Choo Choo” Justice. Academic excellence has been a major part of the Southern Conference’s tradi-tion. League athletes have been recog-nized countless times on CoSIDA Aca-demic All-America and district teams. A total of 19 Rhodes-Scholarship winners have been selected from the conference. Membership History The Southern Conference was formed on February 25, 1921 at a meeting in Atlanta, Ga. Fourteen institutions from the 30-member Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association (SIAA) reorganized as the Southern Conference. Those charter members included Alabama, Au-burn, Clemson, Georgia, Georgia Tech, Kentucky, Maryland, Mississippi State, North Carolina, North Carolina State, Tennessee, Virginia, Virginia Tech and Washington & Lee. Athletic competition began in the fall of 1921.

Today, the league continues to thrive with a membership that spans five Southeastern states. Current league mem-bers are Appalachian State, College of Charleston, The Citadel, Davidson, Elon, Furman, Georgia Southern, UNC Greens-boro, Chattanooga, Samford, Western Carolina and Wofford. Elon joined the Southern Conference on July 1, 2003. Samford joined the league beginning with the 2008 season.

Men’s Basketball Men’s basketball was the first sport in which the conference held a champion-ship. The league tournament is the na-tion’s oldest, with the inaugural champi-onship held at Atlanta’s City Auditorium in 1922 and was won by North Carolina. Not only was the Southern Confer-ence Tournament the first of its kind, the league also helped change the face of col-lege basketball. In 1980, the league began a season-long experiment with a 22-foot three-point field goal with the approval of the NCAA Rules Committee. Ronnie Carr of Western Carolina made the first three-point field goal in college basket-ball history in a game against Middle Tennessee State on Nov. 29, 1980. Another college basketball tradition that originated in the Southern Confer-ence is the traditional cutting of the nets by the winning team. According to USA Today, the practice of net cutting origi-nated in 1947 with North Carolina State head coach Everett Case. As a first-year head coach, Case led the Wolfpack to the Southern Conference Tournament title. Case celebrated by claiming the nets as a souvenir of the win. Basketball coaching legend Red Auer-bach gives credit to former George Wash-ington coach Bill Reinhart, who coached in the conference for nearly 30 years, as one of the originators of the modern fast-break. West Virginia’s 10 tournament cham-pionships are still the most in league history. The Mountaineers were led by the incomparable Jerry West from 1958 through ’60. West, a two-time All-Amer-ica selection, spurred West Virginia to the Final Four in 1959. The Mountain-eers lost in the championship game that season to California, 71-70, but West earned Final Four Most Valuable Player honors. West was a three-time Southern Conference tournament MVP, a two-time league regular season MVP, and was twice named the conference’s Athlete of the Year. He went on to a spectacular career with the Los Angeles Lakers of the National Basketball Association and was inducted into the Naismith Memorial

Basketball Hall of Fame in 1979. He was a 14-time NBA All-Star while with the Lak-ers. It is West’s silhouette that comprises the NBA’s globally recognized logo. Frank Selvy set the NCAA record for points in a game while at Furman. On Feb. 13, 1954, the senior scored 100 points in a game against Newberry, a record that still stands. Selvy was the Southern Con-ference Most Valuable Player in 1953 and 1954 and the league’s Athlete of the Year in 1954. He went on to a 10-year career in the NBA. Rod Hundley was another West Virginia star during the 1950s. “Hot Rod” made a name for himself as one of the most spectacular players to tour the league during his era. Hundley averaged 24.5 points per game in his three seasons as a Mountaineer and was an all-con-ference and all-tournament performer in each of those three years. He was the Southern Conference Most Valuable Player and Athlete of the Year as a senior in 1957. He was the first player selected in the 1957 NBA draft and enjoyed a six-year career in that league. East Tennessee State’s Keith “Mister” Jennings made his mark on the college basketball world in the early 1990s. Despite standing less than six feet tall, Jennings was a two-time all-conference choice and the league’s Player of the Year and Athlete of the Year in 1991. Jennings played with the Golden State Warriors of the NBA. Besides West Virginia’s team in 1959, the Southern Conference has been rep-resented in the Final Four on two other occasions. North Carolina advanced to the NCAA championship game in 1943 before falling 43-40 to Oklahoma State. North Carolina State finished third in the tournament in 1950. Davidson continued the record of suc-cess by advancing to the NCAA Tourna-ment’s Elite Eight in 2008 and coach Bob McKillop’s Wildcats came within a basket of making the Final Four behind the play of sophomore guard Stephen Curry.

Elon Men’s and Women’s Basketball Hall of Fame Members

Elon Sports Hall of Fame Founded in 1972, Elon’s Sports Hall of Fame recognizes the outstanding contributions of former athletes, coaches and staff members to the athletics program and the University. Former Elon student-athletes, coaches and administrators who had outstanding careers while associated with Elon may be nominated for induction into the Elon Sports Hall of Fame under the following requirements. The nominee must have: • Completed at least two full seasons at Elon. • Been truly outstanding. • Been of good character. • Had 10 years elapsed since his/her last year of intercol-legiate competition. An anonymous committee with widespread knowledge of Elon athletics selects inductees annually. The selections are made in the spring and the induction ceremony is held annually on a designated home football date. This year’s induction ceremony was held on Saturday, September 5, with the inductees honored at halftime of the home football game against Davidson. A permanent plaque listing all inductees is displayed in the Koury Center’s Atkins Room – home of the Elon Sports Hall of Fame. As part of the ceremony, each inductee is re-quested to present some memento of his/her athletics career to the Athletics Department for display in the Atkins Room trophy cases.

Parenthesis indicates final year at Elon

Vanessa Corbett ‘82, a two-time All-American women’s basketball player, was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1992, the first year that

she was eligible. Corbett was a four-time all-conference member

and is Elon’s all-time leading scorer with 2,430 points. She also ranks at the top of the Elon charts

in seven other categories.

Roland Miller ‘64, an all-con-ference basketball player and

record-holding track athlete, was inducted into the Hall of Fame in

September. This Basnight Out-standing Athlete award winner

helped Elon to 74 victories during his time from 1961-64.


In February of 2009, Elon celebrated the 100th season of Elon basketball which included the jersey retirement of two bas-ketball greats, Jesse Branson ‘65 and Tommy Cole ‘72. Many individuals, players and coaches have impacted the change and rise of Elon basketball. All those who have ever worn that maroon and gold uniform deserve honor and recognition. And while space does not allow for proper recognition of all these people over many decades, realize that history always impacts the future and Elon men’s basketball is what it is because of all of these individuals.

The Beginning Virgil Pritchett is the name that comes to mind when thinking about the start of Elon hoops. Pritchett was named the athletics director in 1907 and it would be his vision that would see a men’s basketball team to fruition. By 1913 a new gymnasium, one considered the best in the South, was built within the North Dormitory. While wins were a bit hard to come by in the first 10 years of competition, the era marked the start of Elon basketball.

The 1920s Most people involved in any capacity with Elon will know about the fire of 1923, an event that forced the rebuilding of an institution to the one that is here today. This time period brought about the term “Fightin’ Christians”, an expression used to describe the spirit of Elon athletes who proudly wore their maroon and gold uniforms for the small Christian college. In 1921, Elon won every home game and claimed its third state championship, defeating Wake Forest, Davidson, NC State, Guilford and Lenoir. The later years also saw the beginning of Elon’s time under the infamous coach D.C. “Peahead” Walker.

The 1930s D.C. “Peahead” Walker spent 10 years at Elon, coaching basketball, football and baseball from 1927-37. He was successful on all playing surfaces and racked up 123 victories on the hardwood. Walker was known not only for his success, but for his sharp wit and relentless workouts. In 1937-38, Walker handed over the reigns to his successor, Horance “Horse” Hendrickson. The Horse won 82 percent of his games

over five seasons, still the best-ever winning percentage among Elon basketball coaches. Walker and Hendrickson combined for five conference championships in the newly formed North State Conference during their tenures at Elon. Several stars of this era went on to be inducted into the pres-tigious Elon Sports Hall of Fame, including Roy Rollins, Howard Smith, Moses “Dick” Caddell and Ike Fesmire.

The 1940s Many men and women throughout the nation were being called to service in support of the war effort. Elon basketball continued to thrive under Hendrick-son, posting its first-ever 20-win season with a 21-5 campaign in 1940-41. The squad won the 1941 North State Conference title before the intercollegiate games were halted because of World War II. Competition on the court continued in 1945 after a brief layoff due to the war. Elon would win one more conference crown in 1947 and Jack Gardner and Warren Burns would be recognized as the league’s most valuable players.

The 1950s The 1950s signified the transition of Elon basketball into the modern era. In January of 1950, Alumni Gymna-sium was opened in honor of all Elon alumni who died during World War I and II. The cagers were led by Graham L. “Doc” Mathis from 1949-59. Mathis won 161 games, a number that still stands as the second most by an Elon head man. The team made three trips to the NAIA National Tournament and claimed district titles in 1952, 1956 and 1957.

Don Haithcox head-lined this era by becoming the first-ever Elon basketball player to eclipse the 1,000

point plateau, finishing his im-pressive career with 1,456, cur-rently the 11th best point total in school history. Just a year later, Ben Kendall surpassed the 1,000 point mark after averaging 18.5 points per game in 1953-54. Kendall ranks seventh all-time with 1,653 points. Dee Atkinson, Ed Juratic and Frank DeRita also topped

1,000 career tallies during the 1950s era, with Atkinson taking over as Elon’s career scoring leader with 1,799 points.

The 1960s Elon Sports Hall of Fame coach William R. “Bill” Miller led the Fightin’ Christians

through the next two de-cades of basketball. From 1959-1979, Miller won 329 total games, a number that still stands as a coach-ing record today. Miller’s squads surpassed 20 wins in seven seasons and 10 players reached the 1,000 point mark. One of the most no-table players to ever wear the maroon and gold, Jesse Branson graced the hardwood from 1961-65. Branson became the first Elon player to eclipse the 2,000 career point mark —

he remains one of only two idivduals to accomplish the feat. Many other individual performers high-lighted the 1960s. In 1961, S.J. “Jug” Irvin was the conference scoring champion and went on to be an all-state selection. During the 1963 season, center Dewey Andrew completed his career with 1,398 points and was the first player to earn All-American status, being named an honorable mention selection to the NAIA All-American team. Branson led the squad during his final two seasons, averaging 23.9 points in 1963-64 and 26.9 points in 1964-65, to earn NAIA All-American status. Branson set a total of 17 Elon basketball records, 14 of which still stand today. The star was recognized as Elon’s Basnight Award winner for the most outstanding athlete at Elon. He went on to play professionally with the Philadelphia 76ers. While 1965-66 felt the effects of Bran-son’s departure, freshman standout Henry

Goedeck averaged 24 points per game and three other players averaged double figures in Bobby Atkins, Bill Bowes and Richard Such. Goedeck and Bowes concluded their careers in 1969 with 1,995 and 1,147 points, respectively.

The 1970s Coach Miller continued to build a successful program in the 1970s as Elon went on to claim

Legendary coach Bill Miller

Don Haithcox was the first ever Elon player to eclipse

the 1,000 point plateau.

Henry Goedeck scored 1,995 career points.


Jesse Branson starred for the Elon men’s basketball team from 1961-65. On February 7, 2009, his num-ber 40 jersey was pulled into the rafters at Alumni Gym. Elon sports historian Rev. Jim Waggoner took a trip down memory lane with Branson.

Tell me your earliest remembrance of basketball or when you first developed an interest in the hardwood sport?When I was in seventh grade, I had a teacher who got me interested in it. I played junior varsity ball as a seventh and eighth grader before I went into high school. And, I guess growing up as I did out in the country, there was not a lot for kids to do. As I recall, my dad put up a backboard on the big oak tree at the house. I went out there and shot until he and mother would run me to bed.

I once heard that you could leap 11 feet, nine inches from a flat-footed stance, even higher from the tip-off stance you employed. Tell me about that.Well, I don’t know why I could jump so high! I once took a fifty-cent piece off the corner of the top of the backboard! For some reason, I jumped off of my left foot. I don’t know why. I’m right-handed. I jumped off my left foot and I could just get up.

You left Elon in the mid-60’s, what do you think about your alma mater now?I could never have envisioned Elon being this big. I credit a lot of things to the vision that (former President) Dr. Danieley had for this school. I think he started Elon on this road with his foresight in looking into the future. People like (former Director of Athletics) Alan White have just made tremendous contributions in developing this athletic program.

What will you remember most about the day your jersey was unveiled and hung in Alumni Gym?The number of fans and people that came out and showed me that they remembered me as a good steward of Elon basketball.

Jesse Branson

one of its most successful decades in his-tory. Highlights from the 10-year stretch included a regular-season Carolinas Confer-ence title, two league championships and a Carolinas Conference Tournament crown. From 1968-72, Elon was led by another of its most notable players in Tommy Cole. Cole helped Elon to a conference champion-ship in 1971 with a 21-8 record. The hoop-ster averaged 23.2 points per game and was honored as an NAIA All-American while being chosen as the league regular-season and tournament MVP. Prior to being drafted by the Boston Celt-ics, Cole helped lead Elon to another confer-ence title in his final season. He became only the second-ever Elon player to net over 2,000 points. Cole also dished out 705 career assists — a school mark that still sits at the top of the record books today. The team captain was a two-time Basnight winner. Many other top contributors, including Larry Trautwein, Clarence “Diffy” Ross, Brad Ballou and Thomas Moore, made the 1970s a decade to remember for Elon hoops.

The 1980s The coaching reigns changed twice in the 1980s, starting when William “Bill” Morningstar took over in 1980. Morningstar earned conference coach of the year recog-nition in his first season and Lee Allison and Drew Van Horn were both honored with NAIA All-American accolades.

In 1987, Bob Burton took over as the 14th head coach in Elon history. In that inagural year, he led the squad to the conference finals and finished with a 20-11 record. The following year, Elon was led by Brian Bran-son, son of Elon great Jesse Branson. Brian Branson was named the Carolinas Confer-ence and District 26 Athlete of the Year. He and Jesse are currently the only father-son pair in the Elon Sports Hall of Fame.

The 1990s A decade of major change is how the 1990s are remembered as Elon made the transition from the NAIA to NCAA Divi-sion II and finally to NCAA Division I. Elon competed in the South Atlantic Conference early in the decade before joining the Big South Conference when it moved to Division I. Burton and Mark Simons led Elon from the sidelines in the 1990s. Beginning in 1993-94, the Fightin’ Chris-tians played in a newly renovated Alumni Gymnasium where Chris Kiger would leave his mark on Elon basketball history. Kiger, a recent addition

Tommy Cole watched his number 34 jersey be retired at the 100 Seasons of Elon Basketball celebration on February 7, 2009. The All-American spoke about his memories of playing for the Fightin’ Christians with Elon sports historian Rev. Jim Waggoner.

What is your best memory as a player for Elon?There are many great memories. Some things stick out in my mind. I remember when we were playing A&T at the Greensboro Coliseum. We had a banner

that said ‘You Got Soul But We’ve Got Cole!’ I remember playing the championship game in the Winston-Salem Coliseum, a great place to watch a game. I couldn’t wait to go to practice every day. I know that sounds crazy, but I looked forward to it so I could see what Coach (Bill) Miller was going to do!

Speaking of Coach Miller, tell me about that one-of-a-kind coach.Coach Miller wanted everyone to think he was mean and rude. He was a rough guy and his language was terrible, but you had to look through all that. He took care of us. He loved us. He did a lot of things behind the scenes for us. He was one-of-a-kind and had his own way of doing things. I remember when I’d miss two or three shots in practice and he would say ‘Manager, go sharpen a pencil.’ Coach would take the pencil and tape it around your wrist and tell you to go shoot. If you bent your wrist too far back, that lead would just jut into your skin! But, he was loyal to you and he would take care of you. You either loved him or you hated him. There was no in between.

You led both Elon and the conference in assists each of your four years while also leading Elon in scoring for three years. Talk about that combination.From an early age, I always wanted to control the game. Guards control the game, big men win the game. I just loved to make that scoring assist. I took it upon myself to do that.

Tommy Cole

to the Elon Sports Hall of Fame, dumped in 1,579 career points. A stellar student-athlete, Kiger was also selected as the nation’s Aca-demic All-American Player of the Year.

The 2000s Elon transitioned into the new millenni-um with a new identity and a new athletic mascot. Elon College formally adopted the “Phoenix” as its new mascot in 2000 and the institution became Elon University in 2001. The Phoenix competed in the Big South through 2002-03 before moving to the Southern Conference under the direction

of new head coach Ernie Nestor. In 2006, Elon made history, upsetting the Clem-son Tigers and winning the SoCon North Division titile — the first SoCon trophy claimed by an Elon team in any sport and the first conference title for men’s basketball since 1974. As Elon concludes another decade, it will do so with the start of a new coaching era under head coach Matt Matheny. The

Phoenix players and coaches will look to continue making

history and building on the success of the many that came before them.

The jerseys of Jesse Branson & Tommy Cole were retired in 2009.

Editor’s note: Over the years, as schools’ identities have changed, the names have also changed. In some cases, the former name is noted in parenthesis. Three North Carolina schools were also formerly recognized as Teachers College. Those schools are now Appalachian State, East Carolina and Western Carolina and are referred to as such throughout the year-by-year results.

To The Media It is our hope that you will find this publication useful while covering Elon University men’s basketball during the 2009-10 season. Every effort has been made to include timely and pertinent information for your use. Thank you for your coverage of Elon University men’s basketball. We look forward to serving you this winter.

Press Credentials All media members and photogra-phers wishing to cover a home Elon men’s basketball game must complete and submit the credential request form found on elonphoenix.com. All requests are screened to ensure a working press row with priority given to daily newspapers, radio/TV sports direc-tors and other media who cover Elon and their opponents on a regular basis. Spouses, dates, non-workers and anyone under the age of 18 will not be granted credentials. If you wish to bring a guest, please inquire regarding the availability of tickets.

Media Will Call & Parking Credentials which are not mailed can be picked up at the Will Call table located at the West entrance to the Koury Athletic Center. Parking is located across from the Koury Center in the Oaks Parking Lot.

Photographers In order to be permitted on the base-lines, photographers must have a creden-tial. Properly credentialed photographers will be allowed to shoot in compliance with NCAA rules. Photographers should shoot from the designated locations. No photographers are permitted in the bench area of either team.

Media Services Game notes, flip cards and statistics are provided at every Elon home game. Post-game interviews will be conducted in the Atkins Room on the second floor of the Koury Center.

Wireless Internet Service High-speed wireless internet access is provided free of charge on press row. A username and password can be obtained from a media relations office staff member.

RadioA phone or ISDN line will be made avail-able in Alumni Gym for an official radio broadcast for opponents.

Directions to Alumni Gym

If traveling on Interstate 85/40, take exit 141. Follow signs to Elon University. Upon entering the town of Elon and passing over the railroad crossing, you will reach the Haggard Avenue intersec-tion. Continue through the light and the building on the right is the Koury Athletic Center, home of Alumni Gym. Parking is located across the street in the Oaks Parking Lot.

Player & Coach Interviews All player and coach interviews must be coordinated through the Athletics Media Relations Office and requests are asked to be made at least 24 hours in advance. Depending upon schedules and other time considerations, interviews will be scheduled before or after practice ses-sions. Player phone numbers will not be released to media members.

Practice Coverage Elon men’s basketball practices are open to the media, and the coaching staff will meet with any media members following the practice session. Please contact the Athletics Media Relations Of-fice at (336) 278-6711 if you plan to cover a practice session so the proper arrange-ments can be made.

Radio Broadcasts WPCM 920 AM in Burlington will pro-vide play-by-play coverage of all regular-season games during the 2009-10 season. Again this season, all Elon games can be heard over the internet at elonphoenix.com or on Phoenix All-Access. Elon is happy to have alumnus Taylor Durham ‘96 and long-time local news an-chor Greg Kerr serving as the broadcast team for the 2009-10 season.
