DR. WILLIAM PERRYEASTERN ILLINOIS UNIVERSITY PRESIDENT

William L. Perry began serving Eastern Illinois University as president on July 1, 2007, following 36 years of service to higher education in Texas. Perry, who was born and raised in the Midwest, received his M.A. and Ph.D. degrees from the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign. In his subsequent career at Texas A&M University, he proceeded through the tenured faculty ranks in mathematics, and then served in increasingly responsible administrative roles involving multiple areas of budget, personnel and planning for the university, academic affairs and facilities. While at Texas A&M, he received recognition for his service in teaching and in administration.

As an undergraduate, Perry attended Park College in Parkville, Missouri, where he majored in mathematics and history, and played basketball. In 1999, he received the Distinguished Alumnus Award from Park. Perry serves on the Charleston Area Chamber of Commerce Board, Coles Together Board of Directors, and the Board of Directors of Sarah Bush Lincoln Health Center. Bill and his wife, Linda, reside in Charleston.

TOM MICHAELEASTERN ILLINOIS ATHLETIC DIRECTOR

Tom Michael was formally introduced as the 10th full-time athletic director in Eastern Illinois University history on July 22, 2014 and began his role on August 11. He comes to EIU after serving as the Senior Associate Athletic Director at the University of Illinois "Tom Michael's experience, integrity, and commitment to the academic development of student-athletes are excellent," stated EIU President William Perry. " I am very pleased he is joining the EIU family." "We are excited to begin the next chapter in Eastern Illinois Panther Athletics with Tom Michael as our new athletic director," said Dan Nadler, EIU Vice President for Student Affairs. Over the course of the phone and on-campus interviews you

could see that Tom is someone that will be totally committed to the academic and athletic development of EIU's student-athletes." Michael has worked as the Senior Associate Athletic Director at Illinois since 2012. He is currently overseeing the renovations to the State Farm Center. Michael joined the Illinois athletic department in 1996 as an academic counselor. He has worked for the past 12 years in administration serving as both an associate athletic director and assistant athletic director for student services. In addition to his current role in the State Farm Center renovation Michael oversees Academic Services, Equipment, Event Management, Sports Medicine and Strength and Conditioning for the athletic department. "I am thrilled to be named the Director of Athletics at Eastern Illinois University. It is with great anticipation that I look forward to working with the coaches, staff and student-athletes involved with EIU Panther Athletics," said Michael. I feel the 18 years of employment and four years as a student-athlete at the University of Illinois, have prepared me for this opportunity. I leave Illinois with a tremendous amount of respect for the training and experiences it has provided for me both as a Division I student-athlete and as a Division I athletic administrator." Michael received both his bachelor's degree (1993) and master's degree (1994) from Illinois. He played four years for the Fighting Illini basketball program from 1991-94 helping the team make two trips to the NCAA Tournament. He was a two-time Academic All-Big Ten Selection and holds the Illinois single season record for 3-point field goal percentage. Following his playing days Michael worked in his family's business prior to joining the staff at Illinois in 1996. He and his wife Shana have three children (Nicholas, Nathaniel and Kylie).

14th Men's Basketball Head Coach (hired April 9, 2012)

When he was about 16 years old Jay Spoonhour remembers sitting at the end of the bench at Southwest Missouri State (now Missouri State) where his dad Charlie was the head coach and watching the Bears play Eastern Illinois and All-American Jay Taylor. Fast forward some 20-plus years and Jay Spoonhour has almost come full circle as he was named the head coach of the Eastern Illinois University men’s basketball program in April of 2012. Spoonhour is the 14th head coach in the program’s history and only the third head coach since the program joined the NCAA Division I ranks in 1981. Spoonhour made an immediate impact on the Panthers basketball fortunes in his first season on the bench. Playing with just ten active players on the roster, Spoonhour’s team became a cohesive unit midway through the Ohio Valley Conference season. After

opening conference play with a 0-6 mark, EIU closed the season winning six of ten games including a 61-46 win over SIU Edwardsville on the final day of the season. That win locked up the No. 7 seed in the OVC Tournament and marked the Panthers first return to the league’s post season tournament since 2010. In 2014, the Panthers would again advance to the OVC Tournament after finishing the regular season in third place of the OVC West Division - just the second time EIU has made back-to-back tournament appearances since the 2003 season. Sherman Blanford and Reggie Smith both earned All-OVC honors as Blanford was tabbed to the second team while Smith was named to the newcomer team, respectively. It marked the first time since 2010 that the Panthers had multiple players named to the All-OVC Teams. Spoonhour grew up in a basketball family with his dad Charlie a long time head coach at Missouri State, Saint Louis and UNLV. Spoonhour played college basketball at Pittsburg State in Kansas earning his bachelor’s degree in 1994. He was an honorable mention All-Conference selection. He then began his coaching career as a graduate assistant coach at Central Missouri helping the team advance to two straight NCAA Division II Tournaments. He joined his father’s staff at Saint Louis in 1996 and helped the Billikens make the 1998 NCAA Tournament advancing to the second round. He was hired as the head coach at Wabash Valley College in Mt. Carmel, Ill., for the 2000-01 season leading the team to the Junior College National Championship with a 36-1 record. He was named the NJCAA National Coach of the Year that season. The success and relationships that Spoonhour has created in his career have carried over to the manner in which many other coaches speak of him. West Virginia head coach Bob Huggins said, “Eastern Illinois has hired an outstanding basketball coach. Jay Spoonhour has won at every level of college coaching. He is an excellent tactician and game strategist who will bring charisma not seen in many basketball programs in American.”

What Others Are Saying About Jay Spoonhour...

“Eastern Illinois has hired an outstanding basketball coach. Jay Spoonhour has won at every level of college coaching. He is an excellent tactician and game strategist who will bring charisma not seen in many basketball programs in America. Congratulations to Eastern Illinois - Jay is a great hire!”

-- West Virginia head coach Bob Huggins

“I have known Jay and his late father Charlie Spoonhour for many years, and have the utmost respect for how Jay has earned the respect of those in our profession as an excellent basketball coach. Jay has been, and continues to be a student of the game, and his teams’ have experienced tremendous success as a result. In my opinion this is a perfect hire for Eastern Illinois. I look forward to watching the Panther program grow and enjoy success under Jay’s leadership.”

--- Michigan head coach John Beilein

“I think the first thing is that he is a quality person. He is a family man. He has a lot of good friends, but at the same time, he is a terrific basketball coach. He cares deeply for his players. It’s very important for him to be part of their development on and off the court. He coaches for the right reasons. He loves the game and wants to make a difference in the lives of his players.”

--- UNLV head coach David Rice

Michigan head coach John Beilein said, “I have known Jay and his late father Charlie Spoonhour for many years, and have the utmost respect for how Jay has earned the respect in our profession as an excellent basketball coach. Jay has been, and continues to be a student of the game and his teams’ have experienced tremendous success as a result. In my opinion this is the perfect choice for Eastern Illinois.” EIU athletic director Barbara Burke talked to coaches like Bob Huggins, John Beilein and may others during the process of hiring the Jay Spoonhour. Again and again the people she spoke with continued to praise Jay Spoonhour not only for the type of basketball coach he was, but also the type of person. “We were looking for someone that would be a great fit for EIU and this community and found that person in Jay Spoonhour,” said Burke. “We wanted someone that would bring a style of basketball to Lantz Arena that is exciting and fun to watch, I believe in Jay we found that. We wanted someone that has demonstrated the ability to win and again in Jay I believe we found that.” “Coach Spoonhour brings us great opportunity, an opportunity to continue to build student-athletes in the great tradition of EIU,” said EIU President Dr. William Perry. “He brings us the opportunity for championships achieved in the right way and he brings us the opportunity to succeed at the highest level which is Division I basketball.”Winning is something that Spoonhour has been able to do at all levels of basketball. During his third season as the head coach at Moberly Area Community College in Missouri he guided the team to its second NJCAA Region 16 Tournament appearance in three seasons. In four total years as a head coach at the junior college level he has amassed a career record of 100-29. In 2004 Spoonhour was the interim head coach at UNLV guiding the Runnin’ Rebels to a 6-3 record as they lost in the championship game of the Mountain West Conference Tournament. After one season at Wabash Valley College, Spoonhour joined his father’s staff at UNLV from 2001-04. His father Charlie stepped down in the final month of the season giving Jay a taste of the head coaching experience at the Division I level. Following the 2004 season Spoonhour worked two seasons each at Missouri and Texas San Antonio before taking over as the head coach and athletic director at Moberly Area CC. Spoonhour and his wife Nicole have three children Gracie, Charlie and Sam.

EASTERN ILLINOIS BASKETBALL COACHING STAFF

Rand Chappell was named an assistant coach on the Panther men’s basketball staff under head coach Jay Spoonhour prior to the start of the 2013-14 season.

Chappell helped the Panthers advance to the 2014 OVC Tournament, just the second time EIU has made back-to-back tournament appearances since the 2003 season. He also helped coach Sherman Blanford and Reggie Smith to All-OVC honors, the first time since 2010 that the Panthers have had multiple players named to the All-OVC Teams.

Chappell has ties to the Spoonhour family going back to his playing days at Southwest Missouri State (now Missouri State) where he played for Charlie Spoonhour and was later an assistant coach for the Bears.

Chappell came to EIU following a one-year stint as the head coach at Garden City Community College, a member of the Kansas Jayhawk Conference. Prior to that Chappell was the head coach at Central Arkansas guiding the program from the NCAA Division II ranks to its current NCAA Division I status. Chappell posted 104 wins with the program between 2003-10 including taking UCA to its first NCAA Division II Tournament appearance in 2005.

Chappell was the head coach at Henderson State for five seasons leading the team to four Gulf South Conference Tournament Championships and five straight NCAA Division II Tournament appearances. He was the head coach at Phillips University (NAIA) from 1996-98. At Phillips he won 78 games in three years leading the school to two NAIA National Tournament appearances while being ranked number one in the nation during 1998 season. Chappell’s first head coaching stop was at Labette Community College where he won 45 games in two seasons reaching the NJCAA Region VI Tournament both seasons.

Chappell holds both his undergraduate and graduate degrees from Missouri State. During his coaching career as both a head coach and assistant coach, Chappell has been to ten NCAA Tournaments and two NAIA National Tournaments.

Former Eastern Illinois Panther men's basketball player J.R. Reynolds was named an assistant coach on the staff of coach Jay Spoonhour prior to the start of the 2013-14 season.

Reynolds helped the Panthers advance to the 2014 OVC Tournament, just the second time EIU has made back-to-back tournament appearances since the 2003 season. He also helped coach Sherman Blanford and Reggie Smith to All-OVC honors, the first time since 2010 that the Panthers have had multiple players named to the All-OVC Teams.

Reynolds played two seasons for the Panthers in 2002 and 2003 for coach Rick Samuels and is currently tied for tenth on the school's career 3-pointers made list with fellow assistant coach Emanuel Dildy. He was a two-year player at Southeastern Illinois College where he was inducted into the school's athletic Hall of Fame in 2010. Reynolds earned his degree from EIU in 2004 and masters from Purdue in 2012.

In 2012-13, Reynolds was an assistant basketball coach and academic liaison at North Central High School in Indianapolis working for head coach Doug Mitchell. He helped the team compile an 18-7 record while being ranked seventh in the state of Indiana.

Reynolds was a three-year graduate assistant coach at Purdue from 2009-12 while also serving as an assistant to the strength coach. At Purdue he helped run the Boilermakers basketball camps. Working for head coach Matt Painter, the Boilermakers made three straight NCAA Tournament appearances with a Sweet 16 appearance and Big Ten title his first season.

His first coaching experience came as an assistant coach at Southeastern Illinois College from 2004-07 working for Todd Franklin (now the head coach at Vincennes). In addition to his coaching duties Reynolds served as the team's academic liaison. The team posted three straight 20-win seasons with three straight trips to the NJCAA Region 24 Tournament. Reynolds final season saw the team post a 23-5 record.

“First and foremost, J.R. is a terrific person. He was highly recommended by several coaches including Matt Painter, Paul Luck and his former boss Doug Mitchell,” said EIU Spoonhour. “He is a great addition to our staff because of his ties to the Midwest along with his knowledge of Eastern Illinois and the Ohio Valley Conference.”

Marc Stricker joined the Eastern Illinois men's basketball staff in August of 2013.

Stricker helped the Panthers advance to the 2014 OVC Tournament, just the second time EIU has made back-to-back tournament appearances since the 2003 season. He also helped coach Sherman Blanford and Reggie Smith to All-OVC honors, the first time since 2010 that the Panthers have had multiple players named to the All-OVC Teams.

Stricker came to EIU following two seasons at Maryville University in St. Louis where he helped the school post 23 wins last season as they finished second in the Great Lakes Valley Conference West Division. The program qualified for the GLVC Tournament both seasons. Last year Maryville beat No. 4 ranked Bellarmine for the school’s first win over a nationally ranked opponent. They also received votes in the NABC Division II poll for the first time in school history.

Prior to his time at Maryville Stricker served one season as the head coach of the St. Louis Pioneers, a member of the ABA professional league. He coached the team to a 13-3 record with eight straight wins to close out the season. His team finished the season ranked No. 16 in the ABA Power Rankings poll and qualified for the ABA playoffs.

“Marc is a great young basketball coach who has a tremendous love for coaching the game,” said Spoonhour. “He is a coach that has played and coached at all levels in the Midwest and really has a feel for basketball in this part of the country.”

Stricker played basketball at UMKC earning Academic All-Conference. Following his playing days he joined the staff at UMKC for his first coaching job helping the program advance to the Mid-Continent Conference Tournament semifinals in three of his four seasons. He helped mentor four athletes that are currently in the career top ten in scoring at UMKC and three athletes that are currently in the career top ten for rebounding. In his first season with the Kangaroos the program earned a spot in the Mid-Major Top 25.

In 2005 Stricker became the head coach of the AAU Gateway Basketball Club in St. Louis. During six years as the head coach he posted a 178-56 record winning the Adidas All-American Tournament four times. His program also made two final four appearances at the Gym Rats Invitational. Stricker developed 26 players from the program that played basketball at four-year institutions including 13 at the NCAA Division I level.

Stricker earned both his bachelors (2002) and master’s (2005) degrees from UMKC. He and his wife Christine have two children, Savannah and Kelley.

41 @EIU_PANTHERS EASTERN ILLINOIS MEN'S BASKETBALL

Now in its 67th year, the Ohio Valley Conference continues to build on the success that has made it the nation's eighth-oldest NCAA Division I conference. The OVC’s proud past dates back to 1948, but seeds for the new league were actually planted in 1941. It was then that Roy Stewart, the athletics director at Murray State, Charles (Turkey) Hughes, the athletics director at Eastern Kentucky, and Kelly Thompson, the public relations director at Western Kentucky, first broached the idea of forming a new conference. Discussions were put on hold by World War II, but reemerged Feb. 27-28, 1948 at the Kentucky Hotel in Louisville as the three original institutions combined with Morehead State, Louisville and Evansville to form the OVC.

In the 1950’s, the OVC became a pioneer on a much more significant scale socially. During times of racial segregation, league member Morehead State became one of the first non-traditionally black mid-southern institutions to accept a black student. In 1958, Marshall Banks earned athletically-related aid at Morehead, which signed a second black athlete, Howard Murphy, a year later. In 1961, Murphy earned all-conference recognition as a halfback in football. With racial barriers broken, the rest of the institutions in the league began to provide educational and athletic opportunities to African-Americans. In 1955, the OVC became only the second six-member league nationally to earn an automatic bid to the prestigious NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament, which, at that time, was limited to only 24 participants. The conference quickly proved worthy of that bid, as Morehead State defeated Marshall (107-92) and Wayne State (95-84) in the 1956 tournament. Fifteen years later, former OVC member Western Kentucky became the first and only conference team to reach the Final Four. The Hilltoppers defeated Jacksonville, Kentucky and Ohio State before losing to Villanova in double overtime. WKU went on to finish in third place after beating Kansas 77-75 in the consolation game. Since that time, the OVC has recorded some of the biggest upsets in the history of the NCAA Tournament. Perhaps the most famous moment came in 1987, when Austin Peay came from fourth place in the regular season to win the OVC Tournament and earn the league’s automatic bid. The Governors drew powerful Illinois, and were such big underdogs, that ESPN broadcaster Dick Vitale promised to stand on his head if APSU won the game. After a 68-67 victory over the Illini, and a narrow 90-87 overtime loss to eventual Final Four participant Providence in the second round, Vitale made good on his promise in a visit to Clarksville two months later. Murray State added to the OVC’s string of upsets in 1988 when it knocked off 14th-ranked North Carolina State, 78-75. The Racers’ M&M Boys - Jeff Martin and Don Mann - combined for 39 points in the win. MSU nearly went on to the Sweet 16 that year, losing to eventual national champion Kansas, 61-58. A bank shot by Mann

that would’ve given the Racers a one-point lead rolled off the rim with three seconds left. In recent years, Murray State has dominated the OVC Tournament, reaching the championship game every year in the 1990’s and winning the title seven times. In recent years the OVC has broken onto the national scene as the league has sent a team into the second round of the NCAA Tournament in each of the past four seasons. In 2012 Murray State was undefeated and ranked in the nation's top ten until later in the season advancing to the round of 32 in the NCAA Tournament. In 2011 Morehead State made the second round with a first round upset over Louisville. Murray State advanced to the NCAA second round in 2010 while Morehead State won the NCAA first round play-in game in 2009. The Ohio Valley Conference sponsors the following sports: baseball, basketball, cross country, football, golf, tennis and track for men, and basketball, cross country, golf, soccer, softball, tennis, track and volleyball for women. In addition, the OVC also sponsors the combined men’s and women’s sport of rifle. Now in its 66th year the Ohio Valley Conference has grown significantly from its humble beginnings while increasing the number of athletics opportunities it provides for students. In 2008 Southern Illinois University Edwardsville joined the league replacing Samford University. In May of 2011 the league announced that Nashville based Belmont University would join the league for the 2012-13 season. Other current league representatives include charter members Eastern Kentucky University, Morehead State University and Murray State University, along with Austin Peay State University, Eastern Illinois University, Jacksonville State University, Southeast Missouri State University, Tennessee State University, Tennessee Technological University and the University of Tennessee at Martin.

'DREAMS DO COME TRUE'

“You coach this sport with a dream to get to the NCAA tournament... athletes play this sport with a dream to reach the NCAA tournament... and here at Eastern Illinois University ... dreams do come true!”

That quote was delivered by head coach Rick Samuels to a cheering throng of fans in Lantz Arena as they welcomed home the Mid-Continent Conference tournament champion Panthers, who advanced to the NCAA Division I tournament for the first time in school history.

Five seniors, the heart-and-soul of the team, knocked off Wright State in the first round, upset heavily favored regular-season champion Wisconsin-Green Bay in the semifinals, and then controlled the game from the outset to defeat Illinois-Chicago in the title game of the tournament.

The five seniors were Barry Johnson, three-time Honorable Mention All-Midwest; Steve Rowe, tournament MVP; Dave Olson, most prolific three point shooter in Mid-Con history; Kavien Martin, team leader as the point guard; and Rod McKinnis, who provided the inspiration after a season ending knee injury.

The team was honored by Governor Jim Edgar (EIU Class of ’68), the state legislature at the Illinois capital building, as well as welcomed by the Charleston community and members of the University.

The Panthers lost to the Indiana Hoosiers, an eventual 'Final Four' participant, in the first round of the West Regional in Boise, Idaho.

SEASON TO REMEMBER IN 2001CRASHING THE 'BIG DANCE'... A HISTORIC TIMELINE

JANUARY 6Coach Rick Samuels won his 300th career game as EIU nipped Tennessee State, 99-98, in Nashville behind senior Kyle Hill's 22 points.

FEBRUARY 3It was standing room only in Lantz as over 5,000 screaming fans witnessed Kyle Hill's last-second basket lift the Panthers past Austin Peay, 80-78.

FEBRUARY 27EIU went undefeated at home for the first time in 50 years as the Panthers defeated Morehead State, 102-80, in a first-round game of the OVC tournament.

MARCH 2The Panthers became the first team in 11 years to keep Murray State out of the OVC tournament championship game by winning the semifinal, 97-71.

MARCH 3In one of the most dramatic comebacks in collegiate history, the Panthers roared back from an 18-point deficit in the final six minutes to win the OVC tournament championship with an 84-83 victory over arch-rival Austin Peay... sophomore Jan Thompson scored the winning last-second basket on a 'goaltending' call.

MIDNIGHT ON MARCH 4Over 2,000 fans poured into Lantz Arena to honor the NCAA-bound Panthers with a victory celebration.

MARCH 16Despite Kyle Hill's 32-points, No. 2 Arizona (the eventual national runner-up) ended the 15th-seeded Panthers' trip to the NCAA tournament in the Midwest Regional at Kansas City's Kemper Arena.
