Originally founded as a teachers college, Appalachian now cultivates leaders in business, science, the arts, communication, music, nursing, education and other careers. Innovation and creativity are hallmarks of Appalachian graduates, who are leaders in communities in North Carolina and around the world. Appalachian also emphasizes the importance of sustainability and service to communities, both locally and globally. Today, Appalachian is a leader in the fields of energy-focused sustainable technology and the health sciences. Consistently ranked among U.S. News and World Report’s best public universities in the Southeast, Appalachian is also noted as a “best value” by Kiplinger’s Personal Finance magazine and other publications. Appalachian’s 410-acre main campus includes 22 academic buildings, a 210,000-square-foot library, 19 residence halls, three dining facilities and 11 recreational and athletic facilities. Appalachian also operates a living-learning center in New York City and off-campus programs in 10 counties through collaboration with area community colleges.

While Appalachian State University and Boone are located in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains, campus is also centrally located near four of the state’s largest cities. Asheville, Charlotte, Greensboro and Winston-Salem are all just a short drive from Boone, providing students with plenty of options for entertainment, fun and a break from the daily routine. In addition to being close to four major metropolitan areas, the High Country provides plenty of

outdoor activities such as hiking and other adventures in towns like Blowing Rock and Linville.

Despite its location in the heart of the South, Appalachian State has a long history of success with coaches and players from New York City, a perennial basketball hotbed. Three Appalachian State head coaches (Kevin Cantwell, Bobby Cremins and Jim Fox) have come from New York while six different players have made their way from NYC to Boone.

Cremins, who won 100 games and led Appalachian to three Southern Conference titles (1978, ‘79 and ‘81), led the Mountaineers to their first-ever NCAA Tournament appearance in 1979 and was a three-time SoCon Coach of the Year. Cremins is also credited with opening the “Bronx-to-Boone Express” in search of new talent.

Of the six former Mountaineer players from New York, four earned all-conference honors during their time at Appalachian. Darryl Robinson (Brooklyn) was a two-time all-SoCon selection and earned SoCon Tournament MVP in 1979. Mel Hubbard (Bronx) was a first-team all-league honoree in 1979 while Wade Capehart (Bronx) and Ricky Nedd (Manhattan) earned all-freshman honors in 1981 and 1991, respectively. Capehart was also an all-league honoree as a senior in 1984.

Nedd, who played at App State from 1991-94, finished his career with a field-goal percentage of 69.0 percent (412-of-597), a Southern Conference record.

The 9,000 square-foot strength and conditioning center provides the Mountaineers with the tools they need to acheive success on the court.

An aggressive weight lifting program gives Appalachian the edge on its opponents through a focus on sport-specific workouts and lifts.

Thanks to the work of men’s basketball strength and conditioning coach Jimmy Edel, the Apps are aways in prime shape to take the floor.

SUN BELT cONFERENcE

The Sun Belt Conference mantra “Together We Rise” exemplifies what has quickly become America’s most up-and-coming collegiate athletics conference.

Founded in 1976, the Sun Belt has adapted and evolved in its nearly 40 year existence. The league was originally formed as a home for some of the nation’s premier mid-major basketball teams and it wasn’t until a number of changes and the demand for a higher national profile that the league began sponsor-ing football in 2001. Because of this decision to move the league in to the group of football playing conferences, the Sun Belt Conference has a permanent seat on the NCAA’s 18-member Board of Directors. As a result, the conference has a crucial voice on some of the most pressing issues in college athletics.

With the 2014-15 year marking the debut of the College Football Playoff (CFP) the Sun Belt continues to find itself among the 10 premier college football conferences and the new system is guaranteed universal access based on performance – there are no automatic qualifiers for the playoff system. Addition-ally, the CFP will mean that a spot among the premier bowl games of college football will be guaranteed to the highest-ranked champion from the other “Group of Five” conferences: the Sun Belt Conference, American Athletic Conference, Mountain West Conference, Mid-American Conference and Confer-ence USA.

With the College Football Playoff included with the league’s other bowl arrangements, the Sun Belt Conference is tied to seven total bowl games. The R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl, the GoDaddy Bowl, the Raycom Media Camellia Bowl, the Cure Bowl (debuting in 2015) all guarantee a home for a bowl eligible Sun Belt Conference team each year. And beginning with the 2016 season, the Sun Belt is also part of a rotation of conferences that will send a team to the Bahamas Bowl and the Miami Beach Bowl.

The influx of bowl game opportunities comes at a time when the Sun Belt Conference is breaking win records year after year and the league is continually exceeding expectations.

The Sun Belt’s 21 non-conference football wins in the 2013 season was a new record for the league - eclipsing the mark of 19 set the year prior. Addition-ally of note for the league’s non-conference win total was that the Sun Belt fared well against its peer opponents in the non-AQ BCS ranks. The Sun Belt finished a combined 8-1 against members of Conference-USA (4-1), the Mid-American Conference (3-0) and the Mountain West Conference (1-0). The Sun Belt also had the best overall non-conference win percentage when comparing the four non-AQ conferences.

The 2013 football season also saw two teams take home bowl championship trophies, as UL Lafayette won its third consecutive R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl and Arkansas State won its second consecutive GoDaddy Bowl.

Of course, football wasn’t the only sport that has seen recent success and all of the league’s sports have contributed to the “Rise” of the Sun Belt Conference.

In men’s basketball, league newcomer Georgia State put together one of the best conference performances in league history in winning the 2013-14 Sun Belt regular season championship. UL Lafayette captured the league’s automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament in what was one of the most thrilling finish-es to the Sun Belt championship game in recent memory.

An influx of young coaches mixed with proven veterans makes both Sun Belt men’s and women’s basketball an exciting brand with vast potential.

The Sun Belt Conference Men’s and Women’s Basketball Championships were played in the hometown of the Sun Belt at Lakefront Arena this past March in what was the first of a three year deal that will have Sun Belt hoops in the “Big Easy” each March.

Baseball and softball continue to be among the league’s standard-bearers for success as each continues to send teams on deep postseason runs and teams are easy to find in the national polls.

In baseball, UL Lafayette held a unanimous No. 1 national ranking during the 2014 season and hosted an NCAA Tournament Regional and Super Regional. Not to be outdone, the UL Lafayette softball team also hosted the NCAA Tournament rounds and qualified for the 2014 edition of the Women’s College World Series.

In recent years as many as four Sun Belt teams have advanced to the baseball postseason in a single year, while as many as three Sun Belt softball teams have accomplished that feat.

While the accomplishments of the Sun Belt’s student-athletes and coaches deserve great praise, so to do the league’s administrators who have helped set the tone for the future of the conference.

“We have never been as strong as we are now academically and financially and I believe we are getting stronger all the time athletically,” former Sun Belt Conference President and Troy University Chancellor Dr. Jack Hawkins, Jr. said recently. “I truly believe that the best is yet to come.”

The Sun Belt Conference’s membership consists of 11 football members for 2014 – Appalachian State, Arkansas State, Georgia Southern, Georgia State, Idaho, UL Lafayette, UL Monroe, New Mexico State, South Alabama, Texas State and Troy. UALR and UT Arlington compete in all sports as non-football members while Idaho and New Mexico State are football-only members.

Prominent Sun Belt alumni include Lyndon B. Johnson, former President of the United States (Texas State), former All-Star baseball player Luis Gonzalez (South Alabama), former member of the United States Senate and House of Representatives John Breaux (UL Lafayette), country music superstar Tim Mc-Graw (UL Monroe), CEO of Duck Commander and Buck Commander Willie Robertson (UL Monroe) and DeMarcus Ware, an All-Pro NFL linebacker (Troy).

SUN BELT COMMISSIONERKARL BENSON

Karl Benson was named the fifth commissioner of the Sun Belt Conference on Thursday, February 16, 2012 and offi-cially began his tenure on March 15, 2012. Under Benson’s leadership, the Sun Belt has added five new full-time members — Appalachian State, Georgia South-ern, Georgia State, Texas-Arlington and Texas State — and two football-only partners — Idaho and New Mexico State — to give the league a strong membership of 11 full-time members and 11 football-playing institutions. A respected leader in the college athletics community, Benson has served as the President of the NCAA Football Board of Directors and on the NCAA Management Council and the NCAA Men’s Basketball Committee from 2002-06. Benson came to the Sun Belt after serving as the commissioner of the Western Athletic Conference since 1994.

During his time at the WAC, Benson developed numerous multi-year agreements with postseason football games, including the Holiday Bowl, Cotton Bowl, Copper Bowl, Las Vegas Bowl, Silicon Valley Football Classic, GMAC Bowl, New Mexico Bowl, the Humanitarian Bowl, Sheraton Hawai’i Bowl, Poinsettia Bowl and Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl. Under Benson’s leadership, the WAC achieved noted success by sending multiple teams to Bowl Championship Series (BCS) games as well as having sent a total of 38 teams to bowl games since 2001. In men’s basketball, the WAC has sent at least two teams to the NCAA Tournament in 24 of the past 28 seasons. Prior to his time at the WAC, Benson served as the commissioner of the Mid-American Conference for four years. There, he implemented several innovative projects and was instrumental in the formation of the Las Vegas Bowl. Prior to taking the reins of the MAC, Benson served on the NCAA staff for more than four years where he was the director of NCAA championships when selected as MAC commissioner. Benson joined the NCAA staff in January 1986, as a compliance representative and was appointed assistant director of championships in June 1987. He was promoted to director of championships in 1988. In that position, Benson actively supervised eight assistant directors in their administration of 68 NCAA championships. A native of the state of Washington, Benson graduated from high school in Pullman in 1970, attended Spokane Falls Community College and then received a bachelor of science degree in physical education from Boise State University in 1975. He has also completed course work toward his master’s degree in athletics administration at the University of Utah. Benson played baseball at both Spokane Falls Community College and Boise State University before serving as the baseball coach at Fort Steilacoom Community College in Tacoma, Wash., for eight years and as the director of athletics at Fort Steilacoom from 1979-84. From 1984-86, he was an assistant baseball coach and an administrative assistant in the athletics department at Utah. He received the Distinguished Alumni Award from Boise State in April of 2006. Benson was born on December 1, 1951 and has one daughter, Jessie, who graduated from the University of Southern California in 2014 after majoring in broadcast journalism in the Annenberg School of Communication.

DIREcTOR OF ATHLETIcS DOUG GILLIN

DOUG GILLINDIRECTOR OF ATHLETICSFIRST YEAR AT APPALACHIAN STATEALMA MATER: SUNY CORTLAND, 1991

Doug Gillin was named director of athletics at Appalachian State Universi-ty on Feb. 27, 2015. He officially began in the role on April 6, 2015. Gillin, 46, possesses more than two decades of professional experience in collegiate athletics, most recently as deputy director of athletics at the Uni-versity of Missouri. He spent three years at Missouri and played a prominent role in the Tigers’ transition to the Southeastern Conference. At Mizzou, Gillin was involved in all facets of the athletics department’s financial planning and budget development, was a member of the depart-ment’s strategic plan development team and oversaw all external opera-tions, including the Tiger Scholarship Fund development unit, Mizzou Sports Properties, strategic communications and game operations. Most notably, he helped lead the University’s athletics capital campaign and was involved in a $102 million facilities enhancement plan for football, baseball, softball, golf, tennis and track and field. Additionally, he was responsible for all facets of Missouri’s day-to-day operations in the absence of the athletics director, had direct oversight over men’s basketball and was part of a three-person administrative team that oversaw the Tigers’ football program. Prior to his arrival at Missouri in 2012, Gillin spent a decade in North Carolina in various roles with ISP Sports/IMG College, the country’s leading collegiate multimedia, marketing and licensing/brand management com-pany. During his 10-year stint with Winston-Salem-based ISP/IMG, he served as the company’s senior vice president (2002-07), executive vice president/chief sales officer (2007-10) and senior vice president for college properties (2010-12). In those roles, he managed the company’s entire sales force, which included approximately 350 employees and more than 90 university and conference partnerships. Before joining the ISP/IMG corporate headquarters, Gillin spent the first nine years of his athletics career on college campuses. He began as an assistant ticketing/business office director at Lehigh (1993-94) then served as an assistant marketing director at New Mexico (1994-95) and Missouri (1995-97). In 1997, he became the general manager of Mizzou Sports Properties before taking the same position with Syracuse Sports Properties in 1999. The Binghamton, N.Y. native was a four-year letterwinner in ice hockey at SUNY Cortland from 1987-91. He was a two-time team MVP and was select-ed as the squad’s co-captain in 1990. He graduated from SUNY Cortland in 1991 with a B.S. in physical education (sports management concentration).

He went on to earn a master’s degree in physical education from Ohio University in 1993. GIllin and his wife, Leslie, have three children: daughters Shea and Lia and son Chase.

SEASON PREVIEw Appalachian State University men’s basketball is gearing up for its second season in the Sun Belt Conference and its second under head coach Jim Fox. Last season was one of progress and culture change in the basketball program and the effects took place relatively quickly under Fox’s and his staff’s tutelage. Appalachian exceeded everyones expectations a year ago and finished sixth in the league with nine wins in Fox’s first season at the helm. Nine wins was good for sixth in the Sun Belt after the Moun-taineers had previously been picked to finish in last. It says a lot about the work Fox and his staff employed last year considering App State was not eligible for postseason play. The Black and Gold will open the 2015-16 campaign on a three-game win streak carried over from the end of last season. The future is bright for the Mountaineers as the squad returns four student-athletes who received a majority of the minutes a season ago, including second-team all-conference selection Frank Eaves. As a junior, Eaves led the Apps in scoring (16.6 ppg) and finished fifth in the conference. In addition to Eaves’ return, the Mountaineers also bring back point guard Chris Burgess, who averaged 9.0 points per game. Appalachian’s upperclassmen leadership should also be solidified by the returns of senior forward Michael Obacha and senior guard Dustin Clarke. A total of six other Mountaineers return, including sophomore forward Griffin Kinney and sophomore guards Landon Goesling and Jake Babic. Coach Fox and his staff picked up nine newcomers to the squad this season – a very talented and promising group highlighted by freshmen guards Ronshad Shabazz and Emarius Logan. This marks Jim Fox’s second recruiting class while at Appalachian State as he continues to build the foundation of a perennial power and postseason contender.

FRONTCOURT App State returns most of its important pieces in the frontcourt, including Kinney, Obacha and Lawson. Although the team lost Tommy Spagnolo to graduation, the Mountain-eers expect Kinney, Obacha and Lawson to play significant roles this season. Last year, Kinney averaged 3.5 points per game and nearly three rebounds per game in 15 minutes per game, including a season-high 13 points in a win over Hampton. After bulking up in the offseason, Kinney will be counted on for much more in 2015-16. Obacha, a returning senior and mem-ber of the 2015 NABC/Allstate Good Works Team, averaged 3.0 points and 3.5 rebounds per game a season ago. The Nigeria native pulled down five or more rebounds on seven different occasions, including a season-high eight in a win at Troy. Obacha, praised for his defensive prowess in the post, will also help pick up the slack on the glass with the loss of Spagnolo’s 7.0 rebounds per game. Lawson, lauded for his defensive ability, is an athletic specimen that can contrib-ute on both ends of the floor. Last year, Lawson’s first with the Black and Gold, was one of the Mountaineers’ most feared defenders, swatting a team-high 28 blocks on the season. He recorded two blocks in the upset of Virginia Tech where both blocks came in the final six minutes of the contest, including one where he ran down a Hokie guard on a fast break op-portunity. Lawson, like Obacha, will look to grab more boards and help prevent opponent’s second-chance points. Offensively, Lawson averaged 4.7 points per game, while contributing 2.7 rebounds per game and provides a mid-range jumper, but also strong driving ability to the basket. Returner Mike Kobani and newcomers Tyrell John-son and Bennett Holley are ready to not only provide depth at the position, but make a splash on the court this season. Kobani, for the second consecutive season, saw significant playing time - playing in 20+ games both seasons. As a sophomore, Kobani averaged 1.7 points and 1.2 rebounds per game and scored a season-best eight points at Furman. A big-bodied forward, Kobani looks to provide a major pres-ence on the interior for the Black and Gold. Johnson, a freshman from Atlanta, Ga., comes to Appalachian after a stellar high school career that saw him average 15 points per game to go along with five rebounds per game and two blocks per game. He earned GACA (Geor-gia Athletic Coaches Association) all-state honors in 2015. Holley comes to Boone after an outstanding prep career that saw the incoming freshman average 14.0 points and 8.0 rebounds in high school and has previously been a Confer-ence Player of the Year and first-team all-state selection.

SEASON PREVIEwBACKCOURT The strength of the Mountaineers this season will be in the backcourt, where three key players return for the 2015-16 campaign. Eaves, Burgess and Clarke saw a majority of the action a season ago in the starting lineup, but second-year players Goeling and Babic also return to help bolster the backcourt. Eaves, the scoring leader from last season returns after finishing fifth in the league in scoring, while earning Sun Belt Player of the Week honors twice to go along with his second-team all-Sun Belt selection. Eaves made the game-winning bucket with 1.0 remain-ing in the Apps’ upset at Virginia Tech and also poured in 27 points in a win over eventual Sun Belt champion Georgia State. The senior guard scored in double-figures 22 times and eclipsed the 20-point mark 11 times. Burgess, one of three players including Eaves to start all 29 games, averaged 9.0 points per game and dished out a team-high 84 assists last season. Burgess also showed the ability to score and put up double-figures 12 times, including a career-high 24 against Little Rock. Clarke also comes back after a much larger role last season. After appearing in just three games in 2013-14, Clarke appeared in all 29 last season and started 20-straight to open the year. He averged a shade better than 5.0 points per game and scored a career-high 13 with a career-high nine rebounds against Georgia Tech. Clark, like Burgess, should compliment Eaves well after much more experience last year. Goesling and Babic proved to be solid off the bench last year and look to commit to a bigger role this year. Both student-athletes appeared in all 29 games, while Babic was the scoring threat of the two. The Ontario native, Babic scored in doubles-figures four times and was moved into the starting lineup in early February, a position he held for the remainder of the sea-son. Goesling, a slick-moving guard who finds any way possible to assist a teammate. The Irving, Texas native, joined the team last season as a walk-on and played his way into a meaningful role late in the year off the bench. Also returning are Dylan Hodson and Jalen Sanders. Newcomers in the backcourt will be led by both Ronshad Shabazz and Emarius Logan. Shabazz joins App State after becoming one of the region’s top players. As a junior at Knight-dale High School, Shabazz averaged 25 points per game and found himself playing at national powerhouse Huntington Prep (W.Va.) for his senior season. As a senior, Shabazz averaged 10.0 points, 3.0 rebounds and 2.0 steals per game and will be a force as a two-way guard for the Mountaineers. Logan is a scoring guard and is currently the all-time leading scorer in White Knoll high school history (1,268 points). Combined with his point total as a freshman before transferring to White Knoll, Logan has amassed 1,742 points - good for seventh all-time in South Carolina high school basketball history. Other newcomers are Trey Ford and Kevin Kerley.

SCHEDULE This year’s slate features 31 games, 11 of which will come against non-conference foes including home games against Charlotte, Furman and Jacksonville, road contests at North Caro-lina, Texas, Tulane and Hampton, as well as, an appearance at “The World’s Most Famous Arena,” New York City’s Madison Square Garden versus Hofstra. The Mountaineers will also compete in the 2015 Challenge in Music City over Thanksgiving. The season tips off with a 2 p.m. tilt against Jacksonville at the Holmes Center on Nov. 14. The Dolphins finished 10-22 a year ago, including a 56-67 loss to Appalachian. In what proves

to be the biggest home draw of the non-conference sched-ule, Appalachian will welcome in new head coach Mark Price and the Charlotte 49ers on Saturday, Dec. 19 to renew the in-state regional rivalry. App State will be playing the 49ers for the 35th time and for the third consecutive season when the Niners make their way up the mountain. There are many highlights to the non-conference slate that put Fox’s program on a national stage. The Black and Gold will take their talents to “The World’s Most Famous Are-na” Madison Square Garden to face-off against Hofstra (Dec. 6), Texas to challenge head coach Shaka Smart’s Longhorns (Dec. 15) and to North Carolina (Dec. 21) for a showdown with Roy Williams, Marcus Paige and the Tar Heels in front of a national television audience on ESPN2 from the Dean E. Smith Center. Appalachian will play 10 Sun Belt Conference double-headers in conjunction with the women’s team this season. Defending conference champion Georgia State returns to Boone on Jan. 21 to play on the same court they lost on last year, 74-69. The Apps host longtime rival Georgia Southern that same weekend on Jan. 23, while preseason conference favorite UL Lafayette makes its way to the High Country on Feb. 4 and strong contender Arkansas State will be the final game and home game of the regular season on Mar. 5. The

Sun Belt Conference tournament is slated for Mar. 9-13 from New Orleans, La.

HEAD cOAcH JIm FOX

Jim Fox was named the 21st head coach in Appala-chian State University men’s basketball history on April 8, 2014. Fox’s first season at Appalachian was one of rebuilding and progress. Despite inheriting a team that won just nine games the year before his arrival, he was able to turn the program in the right direction in just one season. Despite being picked to finish last in the 11-team Sun Belt Conference, Fox and his team stunned the experts by finishing sixth in the league in their inaugu-ral Sun Belt campaign. In addition, the Mountaineers scored an upset over Georgia State, which would go on to win the conference and advance to the third round of the NCAA Tournament, and pulled off a last-second win at Virginia Tech for their first win against a high-major opponent since 2007. Appalachian also earned a regular-season win over Hampton, which advanced to the second round of the NCAA Tournament, and nearly pulled off the upset of an Alabama squad that made an NIT appearance at the end of the year. Along the way, Fox saw junior guard Frank Eaves solidify himself as one of the top players in the confer-ence as he earned second-team all-Sun Belt honors and was named Sun Belt Player of the Week two times while finishing fifth in the league in scoring (16.6 ppg). Fox came to Appalachian State from Davidson, where he coached for the 13 seasons, including the last two as associate head coach. Fox joined head coach Bob McKillop’s staff at Davidson in 2001 and helped the Wildcats through perhaps the most successful 13-year stint in the program’s celebrated history. With Fox on the bench, Davidson compiled a 288-131 overall record (.687

the school’s freshman program, which he led to a 55-1 record and four-consecutive league championships. He also served as St. Dominic’s athletics director for one year and taught government, economics, criminal justice and psychology at the high school.

In addition to his high-school coaching duties, Fox was head coach and director of the Long Island Lightning AAU Basketball Club. In that capacity, he coached more than 20 future college-basketball student-ath-letes, including Bob McKillop’s son, Matt, who went on to be a three-year starter at Davidson and is now an assistant coach for the Wildcats.

A native of Levittown, N.Y., Fox, 40, gradu-ated from the State University of New York at Geneseo in 1995 with a B.A. in political science.

Jim Fox came to Appalachian State after 13 ultra-successful years at Davidson, where he helped develop current NBA MVP Stephen Curry.

winning percentage), 10 SoCon regular-sea-son championships and six SoCon Tourna-ment titles. He helped lead the Wildcats to the postseason in 10 of his 13 campaigns, including NCAA Tournament appearances in 2002, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2012 and 2013. Davidson advanced to the Elite Eight of the 2008 NCAA Tournament with wins over Gon-zaga, Georgetown and Wisconsin and came within two points of upsetting eventual national-champion Kansas for a berth in the Final Four. Strong recruiting and player devel-opment have been staples of Fox’s college coaching career with student-athletes that he coached at Davidson earning all-Amer-ica honors five times and all-conference accolades on 29 occasions. He also coached the SoCon Player of the Year seven times and mentored three SoCon Freshmen of the Year. His most notable pupil was two-time All-American and 2015 NBA Most Valuable Player Stephen Curry, who played at David-son from 2006-09. Curry was the nation’s leading scorer and a consensus first-team All-American in his final collegiate season and is currently an NBA All-Star for the Gold-en State Warriors. Fox also coached De’Mon Brooks, who earned honorable-mention All-America recognition in 2012 and 2014. Also, with Fox on staff, Davidson’s NCAA Academic Progress Rate (APR) has consistently ranked among the best in the SoCon and the nation, with the program’s multi-year APR never dipping below 990 on a scale of 1,000 in the eight available years since the APR was introduced for the 2004-05 academic year. For five of the eight years, Davidson boasted a perfect APR of 1,000. Prior to joining the collegiate ranks in 2001, Fox began his coaching career with five seasons as associate head coach at St. Dominic High School in Oyster Bay, N.Y. While serving as the program’s associate head coach, he was also the head coach of

WHAT THEY’RE SAYING ABOUT JIM FOX ...“Jim was a significant factor in our success and

will be a superb addition to the Appalachian

State program. He has a clear understand-

ing and respect for what Appalachian State

represents after having played against them

through the years. We will miss Jim, but I’m

certain he will write a similar story of success for

Appalachian State as he did at Davidson.”

— Davidson head coach Bob McKillop

“Coach Fox is a great leader that knows how to

connect with his players both on and off the

court. He knows the game, puts the time in to

make himself better and will get the most out of

each player he coaches. He is a guy that I keep

in touch with to this day because of how much

he pushed me on the court and also genuinely

cared about me. App State has a gem.”

— Golden State Warriors guard, NBA MVP and

Champion Stephen Curry (played for Fox at Davidson from 2006-09)

“I’m really happy for Jim. He’s a guy that has

worked tirelessly to do his part in helping make

Davidson what it is today. He’s bright and clearly

understands what it takes to be successful. App

State hit a home run with Jim Fox.”

— Boston Celtics head coach Brad Stevens

“Jim Fox is ready. He’s worked his way up the

ladder by wearing many different hats in the

Davidson program. Coach McKillop does a tre-

mendous job of preparing his assistant coaches

to become head coaches. Jim has been very

successful as a recruiter, as a teacher and as a

game coach.”

— Elon head coach Matt Matheny (coached with Fox at Davidson from 2001-09)

Jim Fox was a part of10 Southern Conference titles and six NCAA Tournament appearances while at Davidson, including the Wildcats’ magical run to the Elite Eight in 2008.

ASSISTANT cOAcHES

Jason Allison is in his second season as an assistant coach with Appalachian State men’s basketball after spending the past nine years at Virginia Military Insti-tute. During his tenure at VMI, Allison served as an associate coach/recruiting coordinator and helped lead the Keydets to three appearances in the Big South Tournament title game and to the semifinals of the 2014 CollegeInsider.com Tournament. He helped coach 23 all-Big South honorees at VMI, including the league’s Player of the Year (Stan Okoye – 2013), two Defensive Players of the Year (Travis Holmes – 2007, D.J. Covington – 2013, 2014) and Freshman of the Year (D.J. Covington – 2011). The Keydets eclipsed the 20-win plateau twice in Allison’s nine seasons with the program (24 wins in 2008-09 and 22 in 2013-14), a feat that VMI achieved just three times in the 97 years prior to his arrival. A high-flying offense was a staple of VMI’s program while Allison was on the bench. In his nine seasons, VMI led the nation in scoring six times and former Keydet standout Reggie Williams won back-to-back NCAA scoring titles in 2006-07 and ‘07-08. Ten players that Allison helped coach at VMI eclipsed 1,000 career points, including three 2,000-point scorers. Known for his recruiting prowess, Allison landed some of the region’s top prep players as VMI’s recruiting coordinator. Most recently, he was responsible for the recruitment of Q.J. Peterson, who averaged 19 points per game and ranked 49th nationally in scoring as a true freshman in 2013-14, and Jon Elmore, who was named the 2014 West Virginia Player of the Year after averaging 31.4 points per game as a high-school senior. Prior to his time at VMI, Allison spent two years at King College in Bristol, Tenn. as an assistant coach and

recruiting coordinator for both the varsity and junior varsity teams. While on the staff at King College, Alli-son coached two all-conference players and one all-freshman performer. King’s 2003-04 squad shared the Middle Atlantic Confer-ence regular-season championship and advanced to the NAIA national tournament. Prior to his stint at King, Allison coached at Gaston Day School in Gastonia, N.C. where he served as an assistant coach in 2002-03, helping lead the Spartans to a 28-4 mark and a spot in the Final Four of the state tournament. Allison began his coaching career at Lynchburg Christian Academy where he served as the head coach of the junior varsi-ty team and was an assistant for the varsity squad in 1998-99. He was also an assistant at nearby Lees-McRae College in 1999-2000 and moved into private business for one year before resuming his coaching career in 2002. Allison played three collegiate sea-sons at Liberty University from 1995-98. He helped the Flames to a 23-9 record and the school’s first Big South regular-season title as a sophomore in 1997. A native of Lincolnton, N.C., Allison received his bachelor’s degree in physical education from Liberty in 1999. He is mar-ried to the former Hope McLaughlin and the couple has two sons, Riley and Ryder.

Bryan Bender is in his second season as the Director of Operations for Appalachian State men’s basket-ball after spending the past nine seasons in a variety of roles in the collegiate basketball ranks. Bender joined the Mountaineers after one season as an assistant coach at Missouri State Universi-ty-West Plains. In his lone season he helped direct a squad that put West Plains on the map as a perennial re-cruiting hot bed. Nine players signed National Letters of Intents with Division I institutions and the Grizzlies produced three NJCAA (National Junior College Athletic Association) all-region selections, including two of the top-50 junior college players in the nation. Bender and the rest of the West Plains coaching staff signed 16 players from all over the United States and Europe. The recruiting class had players from Minnesota, Maryland, Florida, Ohio, Tennessee, Georgia, Massachusetts, Texas, Pennsylvania, Serbia, Poland and the United Kingdom. In addition to helping guide the Grizzlies to 18 victories on the court, he also guided the program to success in the classroom. As the study hall coordinator Bender’s student-athletes set a record for highest team GPA in school history his first semester on campus and six players earned their associates degree from West Plains. Prior to his time at MSU-West Plains, Bender spent eight seasons at the University of Minnesota in a variety of roles with the Golden Gophers. During his last three seasons, he served as Minnesota’s video coor-dinator, overseeing film exchange, student managers and all video duties. He aided in numerous aspects of the program including practice planning, recruiting, academics and scheduling. Prior to being the video co-ordinator, he spent four seasons as a student manager with the program, including two as the head student manager and film coordinator and was a graduate assistant during the 2009-10 season. During Bender’s tenure at Minnesota the Gophers made six postseason appearances including three trips to the NCAA Tournament and three more to the NIT. During the 2012-2013 season, the Gophers spent 14 weeks ranked in the top 25, including three weeks in the top 10, and capped off the year with a win over UCLA in the second round of the NCAA Tournament. Bender also gained valuable experience as part of the support staff for the 2008 USA Basketball U18 Junior National Team, where he worked for legendary Davidson head coach Bob McKillop, and also served as assistant director of the Tubby Smith Basketball Camps for six years. A native of Cambridge, Wis., Bender holds two degrees from the University of Minnesota, earning his bachelor’s degree in sports management in 2008 before earning his master’s in applied kinesiology with an emphasis in sports management and coaching in 2010.

2014-15 AT A GLANCE

1 • Head coach Jim Fox earned his first ever win as a head coach in a 65-63 vicotry on the road at Virginia Tech.

3 • Appalachian State will open the 2015-16 season already on a three-game winning streak carried over from last season. The Mountaineers, not eligible for postseason play a year ago, finished the year with three-straigh wins over Sun Belt opponents (UL Monroe, Texas State, UT Arlington).

31 • Frank Eaves 31 points in a 64-58 win at Texas State marked a new career high for the senior guard. Eaves shot 10-of-16 from the floor, including 4-of-7 from three-point range and 7-for-9 from the free throw line in the effort.

16.6 • Eaves returns as the Mountaineers leading scorer from a season ago when he averaged a career-best 16.5 points per game to lead the Black and Gold.

80.2 • In addition to Eaves, the Mountaineers return a whopping 80.2 percent of its scoring from last year, with the biggest lost coming from Tommy Spagnolo who averaged 9.7 points per game.

65 • In conjunction with the returning scoring, the Black and Gold returns 65 percent of its rebounding from last season. The biggest hit comes from Spagnolo’s 7.0 rebounds per game.

70.9 • Last season, the Mountaineers finished third in the Sun Belt with a 70.9 free throw percentage as a team. That number topped the previous season for the Black and Gold by nearly seven percent (63.8).

9 • For the first time in nine seasons, the Mountaineers did not play in an overtime contest. From 2005-2014, Appalachian State played in at least one overtime game.

5 • Appalachian upset Sun Belt regular season and tournament champion Georgia State in Boone, 74-69. The Panthers went on to win one game in the NCAA tournament.

6 • After being picked to finished 11th in the 11-team conference, the Mountaineers exceeded all expectations and finished the season in sixth - which would have been good for a trip to the Sun Belt tournament in New Orleans.

84 • Senior guard Chris Burgess returns as the Mountaineers’ assist leader from a year ago. Burgess dished out 84 assists on the season and averaged 2.9 per game.

1979 NcAA TOURNAmENT

The magical 1978-79 season of Bobby Cremins and his upstart Appalachian team shook the conventions of those soaked in Southern Conference tradition. Over its early years in the SoCon, App’s climb finally paid dividends. The Mountaineers finished an amaz-ing 23-6 after opening the season 7-0.An 11-game unbeaten streak highlighted the season heading into the NCAA tournament.All-league performers Mel Hubbard, Darryl Robinson, Charles Payton and Renaldo Law-rence led the Apps to an 11-3 SoCon record. The team’s most-talented player, Robinson averaged a team-high 15.1 points and earned SoCon tournament MVP acclaim.The 86-83 win over Furman in the tourna-ment finals signified the Bobby Cremins Era had come full circle. Thousands of Moun-taineer faithfu l lined up in front of Varsity Gym to welcome the triumphant team home from Roanoke, Va. With Cremins and his first recruits completing their careers, the bus trip to Boone with the trophy gave the Apps a taste of greatness. Appalachian trav-eled to the Midwest Regional in Blooming-ton, Ind. to face LSU. With little fanfare, App was ousted by a larger Tiger team in the first round, 71-57. Talk of the magical 1978-79 season con-tinues to be a season to be remembered.

BOBBY CREMINS The trip to the NCAA Tournament with Appalachian in 1979 ranks as one of my fondest memories. We had an experienced team that played smart. Players like Darryl Robinson and Mel Hubbard helped our cause with their leadership on and off the court.” “The game with Furman was close throughout.They were a good team and revally battled us.When we returned home, it was amazing to see all the fans.” “As for the tournament game with LSU, I think we had a bit of stage fright. LSU was a good team and we started slowly. We certainly did not have our best game.” “That season really brought a lot of credibility to our program. It was nice to see those guys set a goal, work hard, and achieve it.”

DARRYL ROBINSON “That season was one I will never forget. We were a close knit bunch.We were serious about contending for the Southern Confer-ence crown. Coach Cremins pushed us and we believed in him.” “Our team was ready for Furman.We played a good game and had some luck fall our way. It was very rewarding to cut the nets down after working so hard through-out the season.”

2000 NcAA TOURNAmENT

Buzz Peterson emphasized team chemistry. During the 1999-2000 season, Peterson combined four seniors with new faces to produce a 23-9 record, a third-consecutive SoCon North Division title, and App State’s second NCAA Tourna-ment experience. Achievements were plentiful, a re-cord-tying 23 triumphs, including a string of 11 consecutive wins highlighted by a perfect January (10-0). The 72-60 win at Clemson was the Apps’ first against an ACC foe since winning at Duke, Dec. 5, 1981. In the season’s first outing, the legend of Rufus Leach was born with 28 points, including eight treys at Oklahoma State. Tyson Patterson claimed SoCon regular season and tournament most valuable player honors en route to setting App State single-season and career records. The 5-7 Patterson saved the day in the SoCon tour-nament semifinal against Furman. Using everything in his bag of tricks, he amassed 28 points including 12 of App State’s final 14 for the 60-56 win. In the finals, App State defeated College of Charleston 68-56. Patterson and Appalachian cut down the nets, and brought another SoCon cham-pionship home.

BUZZ PETERSON “The success of that season was due in part to the tremendous leadership of the seniors. We started the season out 0-2 but the team fought hard and believed in themselves.” “We had been so close in the two previous years and the third time was a charm. I remember the excitement at the arena and coming back up on the mountain. The cars were lined from Banner Elk to Varsity Gym. To see the players’ faces light up is what a coach likes to see most.” “We were excited about the opportunity to play. That game seemed to take forever to get here.I think we had two weeks to pre-pare and I tried to get our guys some rest.We played a great Ohio State team.”

TYSON PATTERSON “That season was special for me.The team wanted to win the SoCon title a lot after coming so close the previous two seasons.”“I pushed myself to be a role model for the younger players. Our team had a lot of chemistry. Coach Peterson’s intense work ethic prepared us for the season and ulti-mately helped us win the title.”“The hard work was well worth the experi-ence of winning the Southern Conference championship and playing in the NCAA Tournament.”

San Juan Shootout (San Juan, Puerto Rico)# ESPN BracketBusters& SoCon Tournament (Charleston, S.C.)^ NIT First Round

The Mountaineers made history in 2006-07 with a school-record 25 victories and the program’s third postseason appearance with an NIT berth. The groundwork for the record-set-ting season was laid in San Juan, Puerto Rico where the Apps stunned the college basketball world with consecutive victories over ACC Champion Virginia, UCF and Sweet 16 participant Vanderbilt to win the San Juan Shootout championship. D.J. Thompson, Donte Minter and Nate Cranford earned all-tournament honors after leading the Apps to three of the biggest wins in school history. The Mountaineers remained on the radar forthe rest of the season, climbing to as high as No. 6 in the Mid-Major Top 25 poll and receiving votes in the ESPN/USA Today Coaches Poll. The squad continued to make waves in non-conference action with victories at Sweet 16 participant VCU and a win at Wichita State before a stunned crowd of 10,478 and a national-television audience on ESPNU. Victories continued to roll in during the stretch run of the season as the team won 11 of its final 12 regular-season games, including an 81-74 victory at Davidson, the Wildcats’ only conference loss of the season. The Apps ended the regular season with a 25-6 record and were one of only 13 teams in the nation that didn’t lose consecutive games. They entered the SoCon tournament as the No. 2 seed and quickly dispatched long-time rival Western Carolina in the quarterfinals, 78-59. The win, App State’s eighth straight and school record 25th win, set up a semifinal showdown with College of Charleston. Unfortunately, the squad would come up just short at the Cougars held on for an 89-87 overtime victory in front of the hometown crowd. The loss created a tense two weeks for the Mountaineers as they awaited ‘Selection Sunday’ to learn if they would be included in the NCAA Tournament’s field of 65. In the two weeks leading up to NCAA Selection Show various national media outlets and pundits lobbied for the Apps inclusion into the field. However, the media surge leading up to Selection Sunday didn’t sway the committee as App State found itself on the other side of the bubble, but were rewarded with an NIT berth. After not having played in nearly two weeks, the squad traveled to Oxford, Miss. to face Ole Miss in its third postseason appear-ance in school history.Despite a tightly-con-tested first half, an Ole Miss run in the second half of the contest dashed any hopes of App State advancing in the tournament and end-ed the Mountaineers’ record-setting season.

Appalachian State University men’s basketball came within one win of the program record (25) on the season. The Mountaineers won the Southern Conference North title by two games and advanced to the league tournament final for the first time in 10 years. App State also returned to the postseason for the first time since 2007 and advanced to the CollegeIn-sider.com Tournament semifinal round. The Mountaineers posted a 13-5 mark in SoCon play, with all five losses coming by a combined 16 points. The team was 9-1 against division competi-tion. Appalachian set a new Holmes Center record with 14 home wins for the season. The team’s 113 points against Milligan also marked a facility record. Aided by four tournament wins, App State’s 37 games were the most in program history.

Isaac Butts also ranked atop the league in several statistical categories. The junior big man led the SoCon in field goal percentage (60.7) and ranked second in rebounding (8.1). Kellen Brand played in all 37 games and wrapped up his career as App State’s all-time leader with 131 games played.

Appalachian State University is located in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Boone, N.C. At an elevation of 3,333 feet, Boone began as a frontier outpost named after pioneer Daniel Boone, who first explored the area in the 1760s. Boone now attracts those seeking a breathtaking location, adventure and a quality education. Appalachian is one of the 17 institutions in the University of North Carolina system and offers a challenging learning experience. The university combines a small-town atmosphere with a strong academic reputation. Appalachian’s academ-ics are supported by an accomplished faculty, close, personal interaction between students and faculty, and intimate class sizes that average 26 students.

ATHLETICS EXCELLENCE More than 450 student-athletes compete in 20 NCAA Division 1 varsity sports at Appalachian State University, 10 for men and 10 for women. Appalachian was a dominant force in the Southern Conference for more than 40 years before joining the Sun Belt Conference in July 2014 – one of 10 conferences that are members of the Division 1 Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS). Appalachian student-athletes work just as hard in the classroom: • * In May 2015, Appalachian athletics was awarded the Sun Belt’s 2015 Institu-tional Graduation Rate Award for 2013-14. The award is given to the school with the highest Federal Graduation Rate among all current Sun Belt members. • * 101 Appalachian student-athletes were named to the Sun Belt Conference Commissioner’s List in fall 2014, an honor given to student-athletes with a GPA of 3.5 or higher. • * 109 Appalachian student-athletes were named to the Sun Belt’s Academic Honor Roll in fall 2014, an honor given to student-athletes with a GPA of 3.0-3.49. • * 210 student-athletes were awarded academic honors, making Appalachian the school with the most students to do so.

APPALACHIAN STATE ATHLETICS MISSION STATEMENT The Department of Athletics at Appalachian State University believes in main-taining the intercollegiate athletics program as an integral part of the University’s overall program of education, with emphasis on and priority given to high aca-demic quality and standards and the complete development of the student. Appalachian State University provides opportunity and encouragement for student-athletes to progress toward degrees of their choice and to develop athletic abilities in an environment consistent with high standards of academic scholarship, leadership and institutional loyalty. The Department of Athletics is committed to ensuring the general welfare of the student-athlete and to encouraging the highest standards of sportsmanship on behalf of student-athletes, the student body and the University’s supporters. The intercollegiate athlete representing Ap-palachian is both a bona-fide student pursuing a degree program and an amateur competitor. Appalachian Athletics is committed to insuring equitable recruitment, par-ticipation and treatment of individuals including members of under-represented populations through its athletics administration, staff, coaches, programs and poli-

cies. The University’s policy of non-discrimination represents a moral and ethical, not merely a legal, imperative. The University has determined that its athletics program will meet the neces-sary qualifications, guidelines and funding to hold membership in Division I of the NCAA. The athletics administration, the faculty athletics representative and the Athletics Council work together to insure that all teams and coaches follow the rules and regulations governing this division. A sound program of intercollegiate athletics should benefit the institution through its effects on students, alumni ad the institution itself. Specifically, it should maintain and improve the loyalty and esprit de corps of the student body, and in strengthening the pride and enthusiasm of the alumni; it should serve as a favorable public relations factor and provide benefits to the participants.

APPALACHIAN STATE ATHLETICS DIVERSITY STATEMENT Appalachian athletics promotes an inclusive culture that fosters equitable participation for student-athletes and equitable career opportunities for coaches, administrators and support staff from diverse backgrounds and perspectives.

Dr. Sheri N. Everts joined Appalachian State University as its seventh leader in July 2014. Previ-ously, she had been provost and vice president for academic affairs at Illinois State University since 2008.

A Nebraska native who attended elementary school in a one-room schoolhouse, Everts graduated from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln in 1980 with a bachelor’s degree in English instruc-tion and secondary education. After teaching middle school and high school English in Kansas and Nebraska, she returned to UNL, where she earned a master’s degree in literacy education and English (1991) and a doctorate in adminis-tration, curriculum and instruction

(1994). Everts began her higher education career in 1994 as an assistant professor in the Department of Teacher Education at the University of Nebraska Omaha. Rising through the academic and administrative ranks at UNO, she was named assistant vice chancellor for academic and student affairs in 2000, promoted to associate vice president in 2003, and named interim senior vice chancellor for academic and student affairs in 2006. She served in that interim capacity until June 30, 2008, when she left Nebraska to become provost and vice president for academic affairs at Il-linois State University. In accepting her position as chancellor, Everts said, “A university campus is an amazing place of confluence where great leaders and ideas emerge for the bet-terment of society. Our remarkable students, faculty and staff, combined with an engaged community, make this a very special place to live and work. The passion for teaching, learning, innovation, creativity and service is palpable on this campus and each day I am renewed by our community’s dedication to making a difference in the world.”

CHANCELLOR DR. SHERI N. EVERTS

Dr. Alan J. Hauser is in his 30th year as Faculty Chairperson of Athletics at Appalachian State University. Appointed to the position in October 1986, Hauser has served on the Athletic Council since 1979. In his role, Hauser acts as the liason between academics and athletics, representing the voice of Appalachian’s faculty in its dealings with the athletic department as well as speaking on behalf of student-athletes when dealing with faculty members. He often accompanies many athletic programs on road trips and is a regular at home events. Hauser came to Appalachian as an assistant professor of philosophy and religion in 1972. He served as chairperson of Appalachian’s Phi-

losophy and Religion Department from 1982 until 1997. A member of numerous committees since joining the faculty, Hauser served 12 years on the Faculty Senate, including two years as chairperson. He also chaired the Faculty Assembly for three years. A 1967 graduate of Concordia Teachers College, Hauser earned a master’s degree from Concordia Seminary in 1968 and his doctorate from the University of Iowa in 1972. Hauser currently chairs the NCAA Academics, Eligibility and Compliance cabinet and is also a member of its Degree Completion committee. He formerly served as the Southern Conference’s delegate to the NCAA Division I Management Council. Hauser and his wife Gail have four daughters: Debi, Staci, Elizabeth and Jacque-line.

ABOUT APPALACHIANAppalachian State University prepares students to lead purposeful lives as engaged global citizens who understand their responsibilities in creating a sustainable future for all. The transformational Appalachian experience

promotes a spirit of inclusion that brings people together in inspiring ways to acquire and create knowledge, to grow holistically, to act with passion and determination, and embrace diversity and difference. Our students

become agile learners who think critically, communicate effectively, make local to global connections, and understand the responsibilities of commu-nity engagement. We embrace our obligation to help create healthy, just,

and sustainable societies by equipping our students to live with knowledge, compassion, dedication, humility, and dignity.

MORE THAN A LOCATIONAppalachian’s beautiful setting in the Blue Ridge Mountains is more than a location – it profoundly shapes how our community lives, works and learns together. Our commitment to sustainability is a tradition, not a trend, and Appalachian is an active steward of North Carolina’s interconnected finan-

cial, cultural and natural resources. This commitment shows in many ways, including our tuition rates, textbook

rental program, commitment to energy efficiency, economic viability and equitable citizenship. Because of this and much more, Appalachian ranks

No. 7 out of 592 schools in MyPlan.com’s student rankings for “Overall Satis-faction & Happiness with Choice.”

Dr. Sheri Noren Everts serves as Appalachian’s chancellor. Dr. Darrell Kruger is provost and executive vice chancellor. The university is

governed by its Board of Trustees and the University of North Caro-lina system’s Board of Governors.

Boone lies in a small valley in the heart of the Southern Appalachians. It is named after the hunter and explorer Daniel Boone, who spent time in the region during the 1760s. Watauga County was formed in 1849 and the Town of Boone incorporated in 1872. Boone’s accolades include National Geographic Adventure magazine’s “Best Places to Live and Play,” Outside magazine’s top 10 “Best Towns in America,” USA Today’s “10 Great Small Towns with Huge Backyards,” ”U.S. News and World Report’s “10 Best Places to Retire in the U.S.” and TripAdvisor’s “Hidden Gems: 13 U.S. Towns That Are Diamonds in the Rough.” Boone is also ranked the 10th safest place in North Carolina by Movoto.com and 19th in SafeWise.com’s “50 Safest Cities in North Carolina,” based on the latest FBI crime report data. Boone is a college town, home to Appalachian State University. Originally Watauga Academy, the institution was formed to educate the mountain children and to ultimately prepare teachers for service through western North Carolina. It became Appalachian State Teachers College in 1929 and joined the University of North Carolina system in 1971. The university serves as a top economic driver followed by a combination of tourism, small business and residential home construction. The Boone area is characterized by mountain culture and casual living. Outdoor activities, cultural events, local dining and unique shops attract visitors from all over the world year-round. From breathtaking scenic views to Boone’s eclectic downtown area, known as King Street, there is something for everyone. One of the highlights of downtown Boone is the university’s Turchin Center for the Visual Arts. It features six gallery spaces and a community education and outreach program. Its exhibitions focus on a blend of recent and historically important artwork and feature nationally and internationally renowned artists as well as many of the finest artists of the region. A wide array of quality arts and cultural events enhance the Boone community. The university’s month-long celebration of performing and visual arts, known as An Appalachian Summer Festival, has brought notable performers such as Paul Taylor Dance Company, London City Opera, Charlie Daniels and the Glenn Miller Orchestra. During the academic year, Appalachian hosts the Performing Arts Series with artists such as Garrison Keillor and the National Symphony Orchestra. Boone offers an uncom-mon quality of life – that’s why many visitors come for a weekend and stay for a lifetime.

State’s Largest Wind Turbine – This community-scale, 100-kilowatt wind turbine stands 153 feet and feeds enough electricity directly to the grid to power 15 homes. It was paid for primarily through student funds and in partnership with the university-affiliated util-ity, New River Light and Power. Aside from producing clean energy, the turbine serves as an educational monument to Appalachian’s ethic of sustainability.

Howard Knob – Located just a half mile from downtown Boone, this peak has an elevation of 4,420 feet and is known more commonly as Howard’s Knob.

mEDIA GUIDLINES

STUDENT-ATHLETE INTERVIEWS ALL APPALACHIAN STATE STUDENT-ATHLETE INTERVIEWS MUST BE ARRANGED THROUGH ASSSOCIATE SPORTS INFORMATION DIRECTOR BEN WINTERROWD!! Student-athletes are instructed not to conduct interviews unless they are arranged through the Appalachian State sports information office. We ask the cooperation of the media in not attempting to conduct an interview at times other than those arranged through the Appalachian State sports information office (including contacting student-athletes via social media). Violators of this policy are subject to loss of media privileges, including revocation of credentials. During the season, student-athlete inteviews are conducted immediately following the conclusion of practice (times will vary throughout the year). Interviews can be conducted in person or via telephone. To request an inter-view with a student-athlete (in-person or via telephone), please contact Ben Winterrowd no later than noon on the day of the desired interview. Every attempt will be made to try to arrange a mutually convenient time and/or location for interviews should a media outlet be unable to conduct interviews during the usual post-practice period. Please contact Ryan Bowerat least 48 hours in advance of the desired interview time to request special arrangements. No interviews will be granted on gameday - the ONLY exception is for broadcast crews.

HEAD COACH JIM FOX INTERVIEWS During the season, the best time to reach Coach Fox is following practice sessions. Interviews can be done in person or via the telephone. Those wishing to interview Coach Fox should contact Ben Winterrowd by noon on the day of the desired interview.

PRACTICE ACCESSIBILITY Practices are generally open to the media. However, media attendance at practice is for background information ONLY. Media members are pro-hibited from reporting details from practice, including but not limited to information regarding injuries, plays, strategies etc. Media members/organi-zations that report prohibited information from practice will be barred from attending practice in the future and may be subject to loss of other media privileges, including revocation of credentials. All student-athlete interviews are limited to after daily practice, except for game broadcast crews. Appalachian State coaches are also available after each practice session. Media must contact Ben Winterrowd in advance to make arrangements to attend practice.

PRESS CREDENTIALS Credentials for Appalachian State home games are issued at the sole dis-cretion of Appalachian State athletics through its sports information office. Official media outlets and professional scouts may request credentials by contacting Ben Winterrowd via email or telephone. Official media outlets are defined by Appalachian State athletics as newspapers, magazines, television stations and radio stations that provide coverage of Appalachian State athletics, the visiting team and/or college football on a regional or national level on a regular basis. Websites that rep-resent a legitimate news service and provide coverage of Appalachian State athletics, the visiting team and/or college football on a regional or national level on a regular basis are also eligible to apply for credentials. Websites that do not employ professional journalists will not be issued credentials. Credentials are non-transferrable and may only be utilized by media personnel covering the game in a working capacity (i.e. as a reporter or photographer filing an article, column, report, photographs and/or video footage specific to his/her media outlet’s coverage of that game). Only photographers, videographers and live television and radio person-nel will be permitted at court level from tipoff until the end of the game. All other media personnel must work from press level. Season credentials will be issued in October, while single-game creden-tials are issued on a game-by-game basis. For media covering a team visiting Appalachian State, credentials will be sent to the opposing team’s sports information director for distribution in advance. Requesting credentials at least one week in advance of gameday ensures plenty of time to mail the requested credentials and parking. Requests the week of the game can be sent via overnight mail at the requesting party’s expense or can be held for pickup prior to gameday at the Holmes Center. On gameday, credentials can be picked up at the media entrance on the lower level of the Holmes Center, located on the northwest side of the arena. However, please note that there is LIMITED media parking pickup on gamedays. Those who have not secured a parking pass three hours in advance of the game will not be allowed vehicle access to the media parking lot and must find parking on their own!

PHOTOGRAPHERS & VIDEOGRAPHERS Credential requests for photographers and videographers should be made to the Appalachian State sports information office per the above guidelines. Only photographers and videographers shooting the game for an official media outlet or one of the participating schools will be granted credentials. Due to limited space, freelancers can only be accommodated if on a specific assignment for an accredited media outlet or one of the partici-pating schools. Photographers are permitted to work the baselines and concourse areas. Photographers, videographers and live television and radio personnel must

mEDIA GUIDLINESstay behind the dotted line when shooting from the baseline. All others will be directed to remain off the baseline so as to not interfere with working media. The Holmes Center press room has ample photographer work space with wireless and hard-wired internet access available. However, photographers should be aware that Appalachian State’s on-campus internet system has firewalls that have blocked access to some photo servers in the past. Photographers should have a backup means to upload photos in case their server is unavilable to receive transmissions through the Appalachian State’s system (wireless air card, mobile hotspot, etc.).

PARKING Access to the Holmes Center media parking lot must be requested when requesting credentials. Media parking will be assigned in the parking lot of the JET building, adjacent to the media entrance of the Holmes Center. Every attempt will be made to accommodate all working media with parking and to distribute media parking lot passes prior to gameday. However, please note that there is LIMITED media parking pickup on gamedays. Those who have not secured a parking pass three hours in advance of the game will not be allowed vehicle access to the media parking lot and must find parking on their own! Those without a parking pass must park in the Hill Lot, located above the JET lot on Hill Street. It is imperative that media with special parking needs (satellite trucks, handicapped access, etc.) contact Ben Winterrowd well in advance of gameday to make arrangements.

MEDIA ENTRANCE Media must enter the Holmes Center at the media entrance on the arena’s northwest side on game days. From there, media can access the press facili-ties and court level. Credentialed media will not be granted entrance at any other area.

HOLMES CENTER PRESS FACILITIES All press operations (live TV and radio broadcasts and print media) are located between the benches, which are on the north side of the arena. Ample power, hard-wired and wireless internet and telephone lines are available for media use. The arena is equipped with two film decks — each located at the top level of the arena on either sideline. Priority for camera locations on the film decks are given to live broadcast crews, followed by Appalachian State’s vid-eoboard operations and both team’s coaches’ video crews. Following camera placement for those entities, camera locations for all other media outlets are available on a first-come, first-served basis.

POSTGAME INTERVIEWS For games played at the Holmes Center, Appalachian State head coach Jim Fox and selected Mountaineer players will be available during a postgame press conference as soon as possible following the conclusion of the game. The postgame press conference will be held in the media room, located just inside the media entrance to the Holmes Center. Requests for specific players to attend the postgame press conference must be made to a member of the Appalachian State sports information staff prior to the final media timeout of the second half (approximately four minutes remaining). Appalachian State coaches and players are generally not available for one-on-one interviews prior to the postgame press conference except for live television broadcasts and the Appalachian IMG Sports Network radio broadcast. If time permits, Appalachian coaches and players may be available for brief one-on-one interviews following the conclusion of the postgame press conference. The visiting team’s postgame media availability will occur in the same media room as the home team. The visiting team will conduct their press conference first. Media should see Ben Winterrowd before the end of halftime of all road games for an explanation of postgame interview procedures. APPALACHIAN STATE’S LOCKER ROOM IS CLOSED TO MEDIA AT ALL TIMES!!!

Already with a radio presence in every major media market in North Carolina and in as many as seven states across the Southeast, Appalachian athletics joined forces with Winston-Salem-based ISP Sports in the summer of 2007 to create the Appalachian ISP Sports Network. The venture enhanced what was already one of the strongest mid-major radio networks in the nation by tapping into ISP’s vast resources, knowledge and experience in creating, marketing and managing revenue-enhancement programs around collegiate sports properties. In 2010, sports entertainment giant IMG purchased ISP and the Appalachian ISP Sports Network was rebranded as the Appalachian IMG Sports Network. For the 15th-straight year, the flagship station of Appalachian State athletics is 100,000-watt superstation WKBC, 97.3-FM. WKBC’s coverage area includes 45 counties spread over five states: North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia and West Virginia. Combined with the network’s other 10 stations, Appalachian football broadcasts will again have the ability to reach nearly 10 million listeners during the 2014 campaign. Two-time North Carolina Sportscaster of the Year David Jackson enters his 16th season as the play-by-play “Voice of the Mountaineers.” A 2000 Appalachian State alumnus, Jackson has been involved with Mountaineer athletics since 1996. Jackson began with the Appalachian Sports Network as a senior intern while an undergraduate student at Appalachian, filling the roles of football sideline reporter and men’s basketball color analyst and chief statistician during his time as a student intern. Jackson took over the play-by-play reins in February 2000 and followed the men’s basketball team to an NCAA Tournament appearance. Upon his graduation from Appalachian State in 2000, he was named full-time director of external operations. He was promoted to associate athletics director for broadcast operations in December 2004. Born in Carbondale, Ill. and raised in Greensboro, N.C., Jackson also worked as a student assistant in the Appalachian State sports information office from 1996-2000 and spent the summer of 1999 as a broadcast communications intern with the Winston-Salem Warthogs, Class A affiliate of the Chicago White Sox. In addition to his football, men’s basketball and baseball play-by-play duties for the Appalachian IMG Sports Network, Jackson, 36, is the host of Always Attack: Inside Appalachian State Football and Mountaineer Basketball with Jim Fox (Appalachian State’s weekly football and basketball television coaches’ shows). He has serves as an occasional guest host for the David Glenn Show, a sports talk radio show that airs on daily on stations across North Carolina, and also previously served as the play-by-play voice of the

Southern Conference men’s basketball and baseball championships for the Southern Conference Sports Network. Jackson’s peers in the National Sportscasters and Sportswriters Association (NSSA) have tabbed him as the North Carolina Sportscaster of the Year in 2007 and 2012. In 2010, Jackson was appointed to the NSSA’s National Board of Directors, joining prominent media personalities such as Chris Berman, Marty Brennaman, Keith Jackson, Jim Nantz, Rick Reilly, Bob Ryan and George Vecsey during his five-year stint on the prestigious panel. Jackson resides in Boone with his wife, Leila, and daughters, Maren and Louisa. Former Mountaineer Tige Darner will join the broadcast crew for his 15th season as an analyst. Darner, who played at Appalachian from 1994-98, will join Jackson for all home contests. A standout player for the Mountaineers, Darner ended his career with 1,288 points - 18th all-time in Appalachian State history and averaged 11.3 points per game in 114 career appearances. He was a part of teams that advanced to the SoCon Championship game in 1995 and 1998. Darner currently serves as a CPA with Johnson, Price, Sprinkle PA based in Asheville, N.C. His wife, Tera, ran track at Appalachian State. The couple has three children; Madison, Alex and Kaitlyn. Darner serves on the local Wells Fargo advisory board as well as the Watauga Education Foundation. He also serves as a volunteer basketball coach with Watauga County Parks and Recreation. Patrolling the sidelines at home games and providing analysis on the road for the Appalachian IMG Sports Network is broadcasting veteran Randy Jackson, who returns for his 10th season with the broadcast crew. A television personality in North Carolina’s Triad market for more than 20 years, Jackson made his return to collegiate athletics in 2006. He possesses a strong knowledge of college athletics, having served as the radio voice of Southern Illinois University athletics in the 1970s and in various capacities for Appalachian State broadcasts over the course of the past decade-plus. Jackson resides in Greensboro where he is a licensed continuing education instructor for the North Carolina Department of Insurance. He regularly teaches classes on a wide variety of weather-related topics and their effects on the insurance industry. Steve Zushin is in his third season as the Appalachian IMG Sports Network’s on-site engineer. An Akron, Ohio native, Zushin studied at the University of Akron and Ohio Center for Broadcasting and has worked for more than a decade on both sides of the mic. In addition to his work with the Mountaineers, Zushin is a member of the popular morning show, “The Moo Krew with Crockett and Z” on Kicks 103.3 FM in Lenoir. He also serves as assistant program director for the Foothills Radio Group. He and his wife, Kellie, reside in Granite Falls with their daughter, Alice.
