The Transition is Over, This time it Counts

2011-2012 SEASON PREVIEW

Third year head coach of the North Carolina Central University men’s basketball program LeVelle Moton could have a much improved team on his hands in 2011-12 and his squad will be chomping at the bit to get the season started. The question is how will the Eagles stack up against the best of the best in the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference? And with conference championships and a possible NCAA tournament berth at stake, will NCCU get to taste the postseason in its first year as a member of Division I? Picked to finish fifth in the league, Moton knows a major test awaits his program when they reach conference play.“We were picked to finish in the middle of a tremendous league,” said Moton. “With that said, we have our hands full each and every night in this league. There are no nights off, and mental toughness and preparation will definitely be key.” In his second season at the helm, Moton and the Eagles turned heads throughout the conference by racing through a MEAC schedule that was missing the top two teams Morgan State University and tournament champion Hampton University. Despite those two not being on last year’s schedule the Eagles went 10-5 in the regular season, which included a season sweep of the third best team in the league Coppin State University and a huge road win over rival North Carolina A&T. The accolades for Moton and his squad in the final transition year opened a lot of eyes around the “Eagle Nation.” The 15 wins equaled the total number of wins throughout the entire transition as NCCU ran off two four-win seasons and a seven-victory campaign in Moton’s first year. The Eagles also beat their first mid-major school on the road with a 66-58 win over Western Illinois University on Jan. 26, 2011. “Last season, this program did take some steps forward,” said Moton. “We are in no way, shape, or form satisfied with where we are, but it was a positive step in the right direction, and we have to answer the challenge given to us to better that and keep making progress.” If NCCU’s statistics would have counted as far as being a full Division

I member, NCCU would have rated first in the MEAC in field goal percentage at 45.0 percent per game, second in the league in three-point percentage at 35.6 percent from the perimeter and the maroon and gray were second in the conference in opponent three-point percentage at 31.9 percent from the outside. The Eagles sported one of the top three-point shooters in the nation in Landon Clement (Raleigh, N.C.), who hit a school record 109 three-pointers to shatter Moton’s previous record of 87 in the 1994-95 season. He was second in the nation hitting 3.6 threes per ballgame. In the preseason, the coaches and sports information directors around the league voted Clement first team All-MEAC. “Landon had an outstanding junior year,” said Moton. “His play against MEAC schools earned the respect of the coaches and his peers around the league. The challenge for him will be to follow up his junior season with a more polished senior season.” Despite losing four seniors that included the team’s leading scorer C.J. Wilkerson (Oxford, N.C.), who averaged 19.0 points a game, the 2011-12 Eagles have a couple of key newcomers to the squad along with eight returners that include three starters. Clement returns for his senior season needing 114 three-pointers to break the school’s all-time record held by Moton. Senior Nick Chasten (Raleigh, N.C.), who was a double-double threat every night, also returns to the starting lineup. The junior was third on the team in scoring at 11.7 points per game and averaged 7.1 rebounds per contest. Point guard Justin Leemow (Brooklyn, N.Y.) proved to be worthy of running the show in Moton’s offense in his first season after transferring from South Florida. Leemow dished out 118 assists on the year and racked up 56 steals, placing him in the nation’s top-50 for most of the year. Back-up point guard Emanuel “Poobie” Chapman, who returns for his second season in the Bull City, showed

a flare for making big plays and dished out 58 assists and only 31 turnovers in averaging 11.8 minutes per game. “I’ve been very impressed with Justin and Poobie this offseason,” said Moton. “Their work ethic and their leadership has been taken to another level and if they keep it up we will have the luxury of having two point guards that we can count on when the game is on the line.” The other freshman that stepped it up last season was Jeremy Ingram (Charlotte, N.C.). The 6-3 shooting guard came alive during the second half of the season, including three double-digit performances highlighted by a clutch 10 points in a road victory over Howard and 14 points at High Point University. Ingram’s 4.2 points a game were fourth on the squad. Senior Tramar Beaman (Williamstown, N.J.) will once again be a defensive stopper for the Eagles in his final season, while seniors Jonathan Nicely (Augusta, Ga.) and Tracy O’Neal (Aiken, S.C.) will

2011-2012 SEASON PREVIEWlook to provide depth for NCCU. Returning for his second year at NCCU, will be junior David Best (Raleigh, N.C.) who showed flashes of what he could be in the post when he scored 13 points and grabbed nine rebounds on the road at Air Force and led the team with 24 blocks on the season.Of the five newcomers Moton will be relying heavily on Dominique Sutton (Durham, N.C.) from Kansas State and Ray Willis (Atlanta, Ga.) from Oklahoma, along with University of Georgia transfer Ebuka Anayaorah. The Big 12 duo certainly helped shaped the team last season in practice, but this year these two should put the Eagles in position to challenge the league’s elite. Anayaorah comes to NCCU after averaging 2.7 points a game in 28 contests in Athens, but came to UGA as one of the top players in the Peach state averaging 26.3 points a game which was second-highest in the state. At 6-5, 212 pounds, Sutton bring’s versatility and athleticism to the roster, while the 6-6 Willis provides the Eagles with size around the perimeter. Sutton will have one year of eligibility, while Willis and Anayaorah will be a juniors for Moton’s squad. The final two newcomers are no slouches by any stretch of the imagination and their size and athleticism could be a secret weapon for the maroon and gray.

Sophomore transfer DavRon Williams from Marion, Ind. comes to NCCU looking to use his 6-7 frame to bang the boards, while 6-7 freshman Kamaro Jawara will also be trying to make an impact in his first year on campus. “All we can do is go at this thing every day 100 percent,” said Moton. “We are going to get in the gym, work as hard as we possibly can, and hit this thing running as hard as we can, and if that happens we think we can do some special things, but we’re not focused on that right now.” All in all, the Eagles should certainly be in the conversation as one of the top teams in the league, but whether that will be the case or not remains to be seen. The long road to becoming Division I eligible is finally over and NCCU can now have the same dreams as every other school in the land, which is a welcomed sight for this program.

2011-12 Schedule

North Carolina Central University men’s basketball coach LeVelle Moton is announcing the first schedule as official Division I members that boasts 11 home games, including a full Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC) schedule as NCCU is now eligible to compete for championships in Moton’s third year at the helm. “Once again, we have our work cut out for us as we prepare to face a difficult non-conference schedule,” said Moton. “The challenge that lies ahead should tell us a lot about who we are and the progress that this program has made to this point in the transition.” Opening night of the 2011-12 season takes place just down the road against Charlotte at 8:00 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 11 inside the boisterous Halton Arena. Since making the move, the Eagles have yet to face the 49ers, but have taken on three different teams in the Atlantic 10 Conference in program history and sport a 2-1 record. Charlotte and NCCU have never met on the hardwood. Just two days later, Moton and his troops will return to McDougald-McLendon Gym for their home opener against the Wildcats of Johnson and Wales University. These two met up in the season-opener last year with NCCU running away with a 90-30 win. That contest is slated for a 4:00 p.m. tipoff on Sunday, Nov. 13.

Three days later, the Eagles will hit the road for a two-game road swing that will see the Eagles head up to Staten Island, N.Y., to take on the Seahawks of Wagner College in the program’s first meeting on Wednesday, Nov. 16 at 7:30 p.m. from the Spiro Center. College basketball fans may know the brother combination that is leading the Wagner program as the head coach is Danny Hurley, brother of former Duke standout and assistant coach, Bobby Hurley, who led the Blue Devils to back-to-back national titles in 1991 and 1992. The Seahawks are coming off a season where they were eight games better than the year before under Danny Hurley. NCCU is currently 2-2 against Northeast Conference opponents. “We typically schedule games in the hometown of our senior class so we definitely look forward to letting Justin Leemow play in front of his family when we head up to New York,” said Moton. The Eagles will return to the Tar Heel state and make the approximately 80 mile trip down interstate 40 to take on Wake Forest University for the third time since 2008 with the Demon Deacons holding a 2-0 advantage over NCCU. The Sunday evening tilt on Nov. 20 will begin at 7:00 from the Lawrence Joel Veterans Memorial Coliseum, the home for the 2012 MEAC Men’s and Women’s Basketball Tournament. Wake Forest

is coming off an 8-24 campaign that included a 1-15 mark in the ACC under first year head coach Jeff Bzdelik. The longest home stand of the season will take place to end the month of November (Nov. 23-Dec.3) as the maroon and gray will play four games at home, including its first conference showdown as official MEAC members. Nov. 23 will see both the men and the women take on Morris College in the first of nine doubleheaders inside the “Eagle’s Nest” with the men taking on the Hornets for the first time in program history. Nov. 26 will see Moton and his squad host Barber-Scotia College where the Eagles hold a 2-0 series advantage. The last meeting took place on Nov. 27, 1992, when NCCU opened the season with a 103-72 win. That contest is set for a 4:00 tip on Saturday afternoon. The third contest of the season’s longest home stand sees NCCU taking on Southern Wesleyan University just three days later on Nov. 29 at 7:00 p.m. The Eagles will usher in the month of December with perhaps its highest profile matchup inside McDougald-McLendon Gym on Dec. 3 when the rival Aggies from North Carolina A&T State University come to town for NCCU’s first contest as a returning member of the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference. The Aggies currently lead the series 74-63 all-time as both teams won on each other’s home floor last season. “The MEAC is always tough and we will have our work cut out for us every night,” said Moton. “The first place team in the league can be beaten by the last, so preparation for each and every game will be imperative to our success.” Following the first conference matchup, the Eagles will not return home for another month, playing six straight games on the road in the month of December. A Dec. 6 contest at Eastern Kentucky will see the Eagles and the Colonels meet for the first time, as NCCU currently holds a 4-12 record against teams from the Ohio Valley Conference. EKU is coming off a 15-16 campaign last season that included an even 9-9 record in the OVC. On Dec. 11, the Eagles make the quick 20-minute drive to Raleigh to battle North Carolina State University and its new head coach Mark Gottfried in Reynolds Coliseum on Sunday, Dec. 11 at 3:00 p.m. The Wolfpack are 3-0 against NCCU since 2008. After the nine-day layoff for exams,

the Eagles will venture on its longest road trip of the season, going 2,846 miles away from campus to Eugene, Ore., for the 2011 Global Sports Hoops Showcase hosted by the University of Oregon on Dec. 20-22. The Eagles will take on the tournament host on the first day while battling Stephen F. Austin on Dec. 21 and Prairie View A&M on Dec. 22 to wrap up play before the holiday break. NCCU has never faced an opponent from the Pac-12 and Southland Conference in

last season by finishing 18-16 overall, advanced to the semifinals of the CUSA tournament, and competed in postseason play (College Insider.com Tournament) for the first time since 1993 under the tutelage of first-year head coach Jeff Lebo. January will see the maroon and gray ring in the new year with back-to-back home games to begin the month before heading out for three straight on the road as the Eagles host Florida A&M (Jan.

7) and defending regular season champ Bethune-Cookman (Jan. 9). NCCU went 2-2 against the Florida schools in the league, sweeping the Rattlers while the Wildcats took two from the Eagles. The middle portion of the month of January may be the most crucial time for the Eagles as they take on Howard in a Monday afternoon matinee at 4:00 on Jan. 16, followed by the Baltimore road-swing to take on Coppin State in the Physical Education Complex at 4:00 p.m. on Saturday, Jan. 21 and its first matchup against Morgan State since becoming a member of the MEAC on Monday night Jan. 23 at 7:30 inside Hill Field House. To finish up the month of January the Eagles host Delaware State on Saturday, Jan. 28 at 4:00 p.m. and Maryland Eastern Shore on Monday, Jan. 30 at 7:00 p.m. The Eagles fell in their only meeting with the Hornets last season, while NCCU has beaten UMES in the last

two contests, both inside the friendly confines of McDougald-McLendon Gym.

After the short home stand, the Eagles will venture south on the Florida road swing that begins on Saturday, Feb. 4 at the Lawson Center when the Eagles take on Florida A&M for the second time and just two days later battle Bethune-Cookman on Monday night Feb. 6 in Daytona Beach, Fla. The Eagles finished that daunting road stretch 1-1 last season. After five days to recover, the Eagles will return home to take on South Carolina State on Saturday, Feb. 11 for a 4:00 tipoff. Monday, Feb. 13 marks the home finale for the Eagles as they will celebrate “Senior Night” against Savannah State with a 7:00 p.m. tipoff. The Tigers bested NCCU 64-50 last season in the “MEAC Bonus Game” in Winston-Salem, N.C., on March 13 without leading scorer C.J.

Stephen F. Austin, while the Eagles have a 4-6 mark against the SWAC, but have never battled Prairie View A&M. The host Ducks are coached by head coach Dana Altman and are coming off a 21-18 season that culminated in a 2011 College Basketball Invitational championship after beating his former place of employment, Creighton, in the championship series two games to one. The final game in the month of December will take place on Thursday, Dec. 29 as the Eagles and Pirates of East Carolina meet for the fifth time since the 2006-07 season with ECU owning a 4-0 edge in the series. Last season in Durham, the Eagles led by as much as eight in the second half only to fall 58-50 to the visiting Pirates. East Carolina turned a lot of heads in Conference USA



Wilkerson, who injured his foot just a few days before the last game of the season. NCCU will end the 2011-12 regular season with six road games, including one non-conference affair, but Feb. 18 will see the mighty Eagles return to the Corbett Center, the site of last season’s 90-84 thrilling overtime victory over the Aggies back on Jan. 24, 2011. The Eagles will step out of conference on Feb. 22 to take on the Hoosiers of Indiana University for the third straight season at 7:00 p.m. in historic Assembly

Hall on the Big Ten Network. Last season, NCCU hung tight with the Hoosiers until a late flurry allowed the crimson and cream to pull away for the 72-56 win. The Eagles are 0-5 against the Big Ten since moving to Division I. The Hoosiers ended the 2010-11 campaign with a 12-20 record, but many experts around the Big Ten are calling for IU to be a team to be reckoned with this season under third year head coach Tom Crean. “This is the reason we play teams like Oregon and Indiana,” said Moton. “These are two schools that should finish in the upper half of power conferences, so we will relish the opportunity to compete against those

historic programs.” The final three games of

the regular season sees NCCU jump back into conference play with a Saturday, Feb. 25 contest at Tiger Arena in Savannah, Ga., as the Eagles battle Savannah State in the second and final matchup of the season. Tipoff is set for 4:00 p.m. NCCU travels up to Orangeburg, S.C., to take on South Carolina State University at the Smith-Hammond-Middleton Memorial Center on Monday, Feb.

27 at 7:00 p.m. The Eagles ended a 41-game road losing streak last season with 74-71 overtime win against the Bulldogs. The season finale will take place on the road against the defending MEAC tournament champion Hampton on the road at the Convocation Center on Thursday, March 1 at 7:00 p.m. The 2012 Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference Tournament will take place from March 5-10 in Winston-Salem, N.C., where the Eagles will be eligible for the conference championship and a berth into the NCAA Tournament. “This is what this athletics department strived for when we made this move,” said Moton. “We now have the same chance as everyone else, and if we work hard enough, and believe in the process, we could find ourselves with an opportunity of a lifetime.”

NCCU REJOINS MID-EASTERN ATHLETIC CONFERENCE

During a press conference on Sept. 10, 2009, the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC) announced that North Carolina Central University would join the conference as its 13th member. And while MEAC officials along with NCCU staff, coaches, student-athletes and fans celebrated the milestone, it did not become effective until Thursday (July 1). NCCU is now back in the conference it helped establish, as one of seven founding institutions. The MEAC was confirmed in 1970, and played its first season of competition in football in 1971. The Eagles contended in the MEAC from 1971-79, winning nine conference championships in eight seasons. NCCU’s history with the conference is evidenced by having seven former coaches, administrators and student-athletes inducted into the MEAC Hall of Fame. Also celebrating admission to the MEAC on Thursday is Savannah State University, a frequent independent opponent of the Eagles during the

past three years of NCCU’s Division I reclassification. "I am elated to have such an outstanding academic institution as North Carolina Central to return to the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference," said MEAC Commissioner Dennis E. Thomas. "I would like to commend Chancellor Nelms, Dr. Wicker-McCree, and the entire NCCU family for all their

continued hard work as they make the transition from Division II to Division I." Commissioner Thomas added, "The addition of NCCU keeps us in compliance with our long range strategic plan of adding up to 14 members. NCCU is a perfect fit for the MEAC." NCCU is one of seven founding member institutions of the MEAC. The Eagles withdrew from the conference in 1979, opting to remain a Division II member when the conference reclassified to Division I. From 1979-2007, NCCU competed in the Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association (CIAA). "This is a significant milestone in North Carolina Central University's transition to Division I," said NCCU Chancellor Charlie Nelms. "Membership in the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference is a win-win proposition for our

student-athletes, alumni and fans --

"We now have a home!"-Dr. Ingrid Wicker-McCree-NCCU Director of Athletics

indeed, all our university constituents." "This is wonderful news for North Carolina Central University, but most importantly for our student-athletes, coaches and fans," said NCCU Director of Athletics, Dr. Ingrid Wicker-McCree. "The Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference is a fantastic conference with highly competitive academic and athletic institutions. For NCCU to return to the MEAC and be part of its rich history is a tremendous step for our athletics program. We now have a place to call home." The addition of NCCU marks the second expansion for the MEAC since 2007, when Winston-Salem State became the 12th member of the conference. Prior to Winston-Salem State, the MEAC expanded in the 90's with the inclusion of Norfolk State in 1997 and Hampton in 1995. NCCU becomes the third MEAC institution located in the state of North Carolina and the fourth in the Carolinas, joining WSSU, North Carolina A&T State (Greensboro), and South Carolina State (Orangeburg).

2011-2012 ROSTER & QUICK FACTS



This year will mark LeVelle Moton's third season as head coach and the program has a ton of momentum heading into its first year as an official Division I member.

Coming off its first non-losing season in recent memory the Eagles finished 15-15 on the season and 10-5 against MEAC opponents. He boasted one of the top shooting teams in the league overall at 45.0 percent and from the outside at 35.4 percent. Named NCAA Division I Independent Coach of the Year for the turnaround of the program, Moton has certainly put the rest of the league on notice.

In his first season at the helm of the North Carolina Central University Men’s basketball team, Head Coach LeVelle Moton led NCCU to its first winning record at home (7-4), it’s first Division I winning streak (three games), and gave numerous big-time opponents trouble throughout the season.

The Eagles finished 7-22, which included wins against soon-to-be conference foes Maryland Eastern Shore and Savannah State. The seven victories represents the most since making the

move to Division I.Looking at more than just win totals, the

program made major strides in its style of play on both the offensive and defensive sides of the floor. The squad’s discipline

and team unity definitely showed when times got tough last season.

On March 25, 2009, arguably one of the greatest players in school history

was elevated from Assistant Coach to the position of Head Coach, becoming the 17th to be named in that spot in the program's history.

T h e s c h o o l announced his hiring

at a press conference where Director of Athletics, Dr. Ingrid Wicker-McCree displayed her confidence in giving Moton his first head coaching position.

"First of all, LeVelle is a wonderful

person," said Wicker-McCree."He's a players coach that understands

the importance of discipline in a program, along with being a very charismatic person which are all aspects of a coach that this university needs."

With NCCU continuing the Division I transition process, Moton knows full well the challenges that lie ahead for this program. By looking at the success of his playing career where, he racked up an 80-28 record which inlcluded three 20-wins seasons, Eagle fans are hoping his previous success translates to more

marks in the win column."We're not going to be oblivious to the

fact that we're still in the trenches, and we have a uphill climb in front of us." said Moton. "However, Confucius once said that he who believes he can and he who believes he can't are both usually right."

"This is a huge hire for North Carolina Central. I am anxious to see how big that program be-comes under his direction. He will undoubtedly give North Carolina Central a program of which it can be truly proud."

-Mike Krzyzewski- Head Coach- Duke University

He initially returned to his alma mater as assistant men's basketball coach in July 2007.

The Hall-of-Famer joined the NCCU staff after serving as head boys basketball coach at Sanderson High School in his hometown of Raleigh, N.C. During his three-year tenure (2004-07) at Sanderson, Moton led the Spartans to an overall record of 59-25, while winning back-to-back Cap-7 tournament championships in 2006 and 2007.

A 1996 graduate of NCCU with a bachelor's degree in recreation

administration, Moton became the school's third all-time leading scorer with 1,714 points during h i s h i s t o r i c hardwood career as an Eagle from 1992-96,

earning the nickname "Poetry ̀ n Moton."During his junior and senior seasons,

Moton was voted All-CIAA First Team, NCAA Division II South Atlantic All-Region First Team and NCAA Division II All-America Honorable Mention. He was named the 1996 CIAA (Central

After NCCU, Moton played four years of professional basketball in Indonesia (1996-97) and Israel (1998-99). Throughout his professional playing career, Moton averaged 25.0 points per contest, and dished out a little more than five assists per game as a pro.

He was head coach at West Millbrook Middle School for three seasons (2001-04) before taking over the Sanderson boys basketball program in 2004.

Moton is a 1992 graduate of Enloe High School in Raleigh, N.C., where he was named Cap5 Player of the Year as a senior.

MOTON'S VISION: SUCCESS FOR EAGLES MOTON'S VISION: SUCCESS FOR EAGLES

Raleigh native overcomes humble upbringing to become N.C. Central's New Coach

WRITTEN BY EDWARD G. ROBINSON III - Staff Writer - News & ObserverPublished: Sun, Jun. 21, 2009

LeVelle Moton anticipates your laughter, but he's so serious ... "I want to take N.C. Central to the Final Four," he said. "It can be done. That's why we play the game. If we get there, get on that dance floor, anything can happen." He knows it sounds funny -- N.C. Cen-tral and its new basketball coach making a deep run in the NCAA Tournament. The school entered Division I two years ago. The Eagles don't play in a conference, fin-ished last season with a 4-27 record and are not even allowed to compete in the postseason until 2011. But if Moton has learned one thing, it's never to listen to those who can't see his vision, can't understand how this kid from Southeast Raleigh rose from Boys and Girls Club participant to high school and college star to Division I head coach, all while avoiding the pitfalls of drugs and vio-lence that befell many of his neighborhood peers. Since graduating from Enloe in 1992, where he was a McDonald's All-American Honorable Mention as a senior, he has po-sitioned himself as an up-and-coming col-lege coach. He's been methodical in his ap-proach and has leveraged his status as a local basketball figure. He's earned respect and credibility within the Triangle basketball community, having created his reputation as a sweet-shooting guard at N.C. Central and a two-time con-ference championship coach at once-woe-ful Sanderson High. He's established rela-tionships with top recruits like John Wall. He's the guy North Carolina players used to train with in the summer and NBA players consulted when they needed help. So laugh, but he's so serious ... "I don't know any better," said Moton, 35, a Raleigh native who became the pro-gram's 17th coach in March. "It was the same thing when I was at the Mini Park [basketball courts where he played growing up], and they were like, 'Here, hit this,' and I was like, 'No, because I'm going pro one day.' ... It's the same chuckle I've gotten all my life."

Avoiding trouble Moton refers to himself as the "rose that grew from concrete."

It's a direct reference -- one he bor-rowed from slain rapper Tupac Shakur -- to his childhood in Southeast Raleigh with his mother, Hattie McDougald, and older brother, Verne. They lived in a two-bedroom apartment on East Jones street, where the boys shared a room. Behind their three-floor building was an empty lot where Moton and his brother shot baskets through a bike tire rim they hung on a tree. They tied shoestrings as nets. "All of this was the projects," said Moton one day last month as he toured the neigh-borhood blocks down from historic Oak-wood. He looked at the newly developed homes, painted in pretty pastels, and said, "We would have been proud to have been from this neighborhood right there." The neighborhood he remembered paled in comparison. One block teemed with a liquor house, crack house and prostitution house. Crime, drugs and violence choked the environment, he said. From the basketball courts at the Mini Park on Lane Street he could see down-town Raleigh, but it seemed worlds away. When Moton was 9, one of his friends was struck by a stray bullet. Twice crooks burglarized his home. "It's hard seeing your door open and see-ing your TV gone, VCR gone, and you know your mom has scrapped just to get that," he said. Growing up, he balanced a child's desire to venture out with his mother's non-nego-tiable rulebook. "He knew he couldn't get anywhere in life with a record," McDougald said. "I stressed that."

Determined to keep her boys from trou-ble, she asked former Wake County sheriff John H. Baker Jr. to show them the inside of the county jail. "That was real," Moton said. "I saw how cats were living and wanted more out of my life." "Telling them was one thing, showing them was another," McDougald said. It was a lesson that may have saved Mo-ton from the hardships some of his friends faced. Two of his teenage friends went to prison for robbing and killing a store clerk. His mother, who owned a cleaning ser-vice, provided what she could. Still, he was teased about his free lunches in high school. "Poor is a mentality," Moton said. "We didn't have financial money. But the love and the doctrines of making you feel good about yourself; my mother had a Ph.D. in that."

'A safe haven' If escaping poverty was Moton's motiva-tion, then the Raleigh Boys and Girls Club was his salvation. He joined a year early, at age 5, a deal his mother brokered to allow him to attend with his older brother. "I don't know what I would have done without the Boys Club," said McDougald, whose children attended year-round. In the summer, they were there from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. They usually arrived on foot, cutting through St. Augustine's campus, past the Washington Terrace apartment complex.

Ron Williams, the Raleigh club's former athletic director, coached Moton until he entered high school and over time became a father figure to the boy with the Slim Jim build and competitive nature. Back then, the club's motto was "the club that beats the streets." "The Boys Club was a safe haven for him," Williams said. "He could feel free to come and have a good time and without fear of all of those negative things." Moton read his first book at the Boys Club. He remains a voracious reader. "They exposed me to another side," said Moton, who easily mixed with kids from dif-ferent ethnic and social backgrounds. The boys club also fostered Moton's love for sports. For a high-energy, gregarious child, they provided more than enough ac-tivities, from baseball -- his first love -- to soccer. But you could always find Moton on the basketball court. He'd play horse for a quar-ter. Or play one-on-one to 10. After a while, with his quick first step separating him from the pack, he'd have to spot eight points to get a game. "For 50 cent?" he said. "Yeah, I'll spot you eight."

Engaging personality Of course, Moton believes the Final Four is within N.C. Central's grasp. His childhood, he said, set the foundation for him to believe that anything is possible. He'll still spot you eight points. Nicknamed "Poetry 'N Moton," he is third among N.C. Central's all-time career scor-ing leaders with 1,714 points, owns the 3-point field goals made career record, is fourth in free throws made, fifth in assists, eighth in field goals made, 10th in scoring average and 11th in steals. He was named the 1996 CIAA player of the year, edging Ben Wallace, now with the NBA's Cleveland Cavaliers. After graduating from college with a bach-elor's degree in recreation administration in 1996, Moton played four seasons with pro-fessional teams in Indonesia and Israel. In 2001, he returned home and took his first coaching job at West Millbrook Middle School, remaining there for three seasons until he was hired as the head coach at Sanderson. "I remember early on that this was a young man that had a tremendous capac-ity for doing good," said Cathy Moore, an area superintendent with the Wake County Public Schools, who was the principal at Sanderson and hired Moton. She was also his French teacher at Enloe.

People tend to like Moton, even other coaches. He's easygoing, quick to ex-change handshakes and share a story. "He doesn't meet a stranger," said former Duke point guard Jeff Capel, who is now head coach at Oklahoma. Moton has collected mentors like Moore, inside and outside of basketball. "He has studied under all the good coaches, watched them and studied them," Southeast Raleigh High basketball coach John Baker III said. "He's gone through all the proper steps." In July 2007, Moton left Sanderson to take an assistant job at his college alma mater, serving as a recruiter for two seasons. His selection as head coach came as a surprise to some who felt the program needed a more experienced leader as it makes its transition from Division II. Moton understands the pressures but is determined to use the formula that allowed him to succeed so far. Despite life's challenges, he never wa-vered from what he knew to be the right thing. "I never wanted to disappoint my

grandmother and mother," he said. Now he has his own family. He married his wife Bridget in 2008. She gave birth to his first child, Brooke, on March 12. He signed a five-year contract with N.C. Central for an annual salary of $100,000. "I learned so much from the have-nots," Moton said. "I'm glad I was at the bottom because I got a full view of everything. Now it comes back full circle."

Giving back Moton shares those lessons with players. Many of them can relate to his underdog story. He continues to support the Raleigh Boys and Girls Club. On Aug. 7, he will sponsor a day of fun for members. "The work he does is about the people," Moore said. "It's about the students, the athletes, the colleagues he works with, about the people who have formally and in-formally mentored him along the way." Moton said he wants his players to an-swer four questions before they leave his program: Who are you? What are your core beliefs? Why are you here on this earth? And where are you going when you leave N.C. Central? What should they take from him? "The determination," he said. "The will to succeed. A lot of men will not admit it but I have an insecurity about myself. ... I'm scared if I don't make it I'm going back there."That's why Moton can talk about reaching the Final Four. "That's just how my life's been," he said. "Nobody believed me. I've always been the underdog. I've always had to prove peo-ple wrong. For me, that's cool."

The final season for NCCU in the rigorous transition to Division I was one of the best season's by any team during the move to the top level of the NCAA with NCCU finishing 15-15 overall including a 10-5 mark against MEAC opponents in the regular season. Here are some more highlights of Coach Moton's second season.

WILKERSON JOINS 1,000 POINT CLUB

NCCU senior guard C.J. Wilkerson enjoyed a tremendous final season donning the maroon and gray. The Oxford, N.C. product made his mark from day one on campus, scoring 472 points in 29 games in his first season, averaging 16.3 points a game. Last year his game reached another level as he scored 551 points and leading the team with 19.0 points a contest. Wilkerson scored 17 against Bethune-Cookman to join the 1,000 point club, becoming the 33rd player in school history to do so. A remarkable feat considering he has played just 58 (17.6 ppg) games as an Eagle, which ranks him sixth all-time. He finished up with 1,023 career points at NCCU. He is 29th all-time in that category and

was named to the NCAA Division I All-Independent team for a second straight season.

CLEMENT BREAKS MOTON'S SCHOOL RECORD FROM THREEWhen junior transfer Landon Clement made the decision to come to the Bull City, his stats from UNC Greensboro proved he could shoot, but Clement lit up the nets in his first season at NCCU. Against Oklahoma on Nov. 15, Clement was a scorching 6-for-9 (66.6%) from three-point range to tie for a game-high 22 points. From that point on he was lights out from the perimeter, and on Thursday night Feb. 17, 2011 against Coastal Carolina Clement hit his 88th three-pointer with 14:27 to go in the first half to break Moton's 16-year old record. He finished the season 109-for-268 (40.7%) from the outside. NCCU head coach LeVelle Moton owned the single season record for three-pointers with 87 during the 1994-95 season. Clement hit 3.63 three pointers per game, which would have placed him No. 2 in the nation had NCCU's record's counted

2009-2010 SEASON REVIEWduring its final transition season.

AS “COMMISSIONER GORDON” GOES, THE EAGLES GO

If C.J. Wilkerson was “Batman” and Landon Clement was “Robin” as the top two scorers consistently, head coach LeVelle Moton had been searching for that third guy to step up. Well this season it’s been none other than Nick “Commissioner Gordon” Chasten. When the junior scores in double-figures the Eagles are 14-6, and are a perfect 4-0 when he records a double-double, a true testament to his value to the 2010-11 squad. He finished the year averaging 11.7 points a game, and grabs 7.1 rebounds per contest.

C.J.’s MAGICAL PERFORMANCE AT A&T

C.J. Wilkerson’s career-high 41 points against rival North Carolina A&T will not only live on with Eagle

fans, but it has also found a spot in the record books. Wilkerson finished with the second-highest total against the Aggies that was held by NBA Hall-of-famer Sam Jones, who scored 44 points against the arch-rivals during the 1953-54 season. His head coach LeVelle Moton scored 35 points on North Carolina A&T on Jan. 19, 1995 in a 93-87 loss to the Aggies in the Greensboro Colisuem. The Oxford native scored the most points by an Eagle since Willie Jennette scored 43 points against Gardner Webb on Dec. 14, 1985 and his perfect 15-for-15 from the charity stripe is the most since Jennette went 15-for-16 from the line against Elizabeth City State on Jan. 13, 1986.

CLEMENT’S BIG WEEK GARNERS HSRN HONORS-

TWICETwice during the 2010-11 season, junior transfer Landon Clement had stellar weeks that has garnered attention by the Heritage Sports Radio Network. During the week of Jan. 31-Feb. 5 Clement was given praise for averaging 24.5 points in two games with 23 pts against Bethune-Cookman and 26 pts agains Howard. He also added seven rebounds, seven assists and three steals in those two games for an NCCU squad that went 1-1. From Jan. 10-15 he scored 24 points against UMES and 25 points against Coppin State, the Heritage Sports Radio Network placed him on the website’s fan poll where he won the Division I Men’s National Player of the week. Clement has become the first Eagle to do so this season and he averaged 24.5 points per game leading NCCU to a 2-0 week.

NICK CHASTEN GETS BUCKETS AND DOUBLE-DOUBLESThe junior forward has really blossomed under Moton’s tutelage. In early December, Chasten recorded back-to-back double-doubles (16 points, 15 rebounds vs. Washington Adventist and (24

points, 11 rebounds vs. South Carolina State). The Raleigh native combined for 40 points and 26 rebounds along with acquiring a busted lip in the process that required approximately five stitches. He nearly completed the feat again over the with his 18 points and 18 rebounds against Milligan on Dec. 29, and his eights points and 12 boards against East Carolina. Chasten has six career double-doubles and has recorded double-digit rebounds eight times during his tenure. The last Eagle to record back-to-back double-doubles occurred in the 2004-05 season when Johnathan Moore reached this feat twice. On Dec. 20, 2004 he scored 18 points and grabbed 11 rebounds against Queens College, followed up with a

2010-2011 SEASON REVIEW


24 point 14 rebound effort against Columbus State on Dec. 22, 2004. Later that season, Moore scored 27 points and ripped down 10 rebounds on Feb. 1, 2005 against Johnson C. Smith, and in the next contest against rival Winston-Salem State on Feb. 5, 2005 dropped in 26 points and amassed 15 rebounds.

MOVING UP THE CAREER CHARTS

Senior point guard Michael Glasker is the lone player on the Eagles roster that has participated in every season that NCCU has competed at the Division I level, and his stats show it. The Newport News, Va. native needed 4 assists to move up to eighth all-time at NCCU in career assists to pass James Tucker, 272 (1999-2000, 2002-2004). “Newk” ended his career with 269 assists to finished ninth all-time in program history.

2010-2011 SEASON REVIEW12 (25.0%) from behind-the-arc. NCCU finished the season shooting 35.4 percent from three-point range hitting 199-of-5562 shots from the perimeter after 29 games. The last time the Eagles failed to make a shot from beyond the arch was on Jan. 17, 2006, during a 64-61 victory over Livingstone College in Salisbury, N.C. From the start of the 1991-92 season until Jan. 14, 2006, NCCU made a three-pointer in 395 consecutive games, making the Eagles’ run 553 out of the last 554 contests. If NCCU counted in the MEAC Stats, the Eagles would No. 2 in the league in three-point field goal percentage at 35.6 percent from the outside.

NCCU NEARLY SOARED TO HISTORY

On Nov. 15, 2010, LeVelle Moton and the NCCU men’s basketball team nearly pulled off the biggest upset in school history leading Oklahoma for 28 straight minutes. NCCU led by as much as eight points in the first half but couldn’t finish the deal falling 71-63 in overtime. The Eagles were clinging to a four-point margin when Steven Pledger connected on a three-point

field goal with 1:09 left to make the score 56-55 in favor of the visitors. A pair of free throws by Wilkerson with 32 seconds on the clock gave NCCU a 58-55 lead. After a 30-second timeout by OU head coach Jeff Capel with 28 ticks left, the Sooners came away with the loose ball from a pile of players on the floor, and Pledger stepped up to nail the game-tying three-pointer with 15 seconds left in regulation. A last-second shot by Wilkerson was rejected at the buzzer to send the game into overtime. OU’s Nick Thompson bulled his way down low for the first four points of the extra session and the Sooners never looked back, rolling on to the 71-63 win in the extra session. “We were right there,” said NCCU head coach LeVelle Moton. “I don’t think our kids recovered emotionally from that last shot of regulation. They were stuck on that play instead of moving forward. They are all very emotional in the locker room.”

RECORDS BROKEN IN SEASON OPENER

NCCU opened the 2010-11 season with an impressive showing in front of the home crowd in its 90-30 win over Johnson & Wales University. So much so, that some old records were resurrected. The 60-point margin of victory was the largest since Dec. 12, 1951 when the Eagles defeated Saint Paul’s College 100-34, which equaled the sixth largest margin of victory in school history. The Wildcats’ 30 points was the fewest allowed by an opponent since Petersburg (Va.) YMCA managed just 29 points on Dec. 27, 1948 in NCCU won 81-29. This was also the fewest points allowed by NCCU against a college opponent since a 75-28 victory over Saint Augustine’s College during the 1947-48 season.

North Carolina Central University senior David Young had his dream fulfilled on June 24, 2004, when the Seattle Supersonics selected the All-CIAA guard with the 41st overall pick in the 2004 NBA Draft.

Young, NCCU’s first NBA draft pick in 21 years, sat alone in an Atlanta hotel room when he saw his name flash on the television as the 12th player chosen in the second round.

After ending his college career as the Eagles’ top scorer in 2003-04 with 20.5 points per game, Young faced a long and tough journey around the NBA workout circuit.

“I have endured and persevered through a lot of tough times.” Young said reflecting on his life and basketball career. “I have always dreamed about playing in the NBA. I got a second opportunity at North Carolina Central University and now my dream has come true.”

EAGLES IN THE NBA DRAFT

Sam Jones- Boston Celtics1957 First Round- 8th Pick


NCCU Eagles Inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of FameJOHN B. McLENDON

Enshrined: As a coach on April 30, 1979 Born: April 5, 1915 in Hiawatha, KS

Died: October 8, 1999NCCU: Head Coach, 1940-1952

John B. McLendon’s contributions to the sport of basketball are virtually innumerable. His advisor at the University of Kansas

was the inventor of basketball, Dr. James Naismith. At North Carolina College from 1937 to 1952, and as head basketball coach from 1940 to 1952, he pioneered basketball’s full court game, using such strategies as the full court press, the full court zone (now known as the zone press), the open center offense whose variants include the “four corners,” the rotating pivot, and the double-pivot. In 38 years as a head coach, he achieved a collegiate coaching record of 523 wins to 165 losses for a .760 winning percentage, including a 239-68 record at NCC. He was also the first black coach in a professional basketball

league (with the Cleveland Pipers in the American Basketball League in 1961) and the first black coach at a predominantly white university (Cleveland State employed him in June 1966).

Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame Bio: John B. McLendon’s engaging personality made him a popular basketball figure for more than 60 years. His extraordinary knowledge of basketball history made him one of the game’s leading ambassadors. But, it is his coaching resume that makes many in the profession envious. McLendon, who learned basketball from Dr. James Naismith as an undergraduate at Kansas, is the first coach in history to win three consecutive national titles. McLendon earned this honor by guiding Tennessee State to the 1957, 1958 and 1959 NAIA national championships. McLendon championed for heightened awareness of basketball at all-black colleges, and helped initiate an era of integrated basketball. McLendon’s well-rounded coaching background included positions at the collegiate, AAU and professional level. He coached North Carolina College, Hampton Institute, Tennessee State, Kentucky State and Cleveland State along with the Cleveland Pipers (NIB-ABL) and the Denver Rockets (ABA). Named the 1958 NAIA Coach of the Year, McLendon coached teams that won eight CIAA titles between 1941 and 1952, the NIBL and AAU championships in 1961, and the ABL Eastern Division crown in 1962. McLendon, who has traveled the world promoting basketball, wrote two books, Fast Break Basketball and The Fast Break Game.

SAM JONESEnshrined: As a player on April 30, 1984 Born: June 24, 1933 in Laurinburg, NC

NCCU: Student-Athlete, 1951-54 / 1956-57

North Carolina College Playing Highlights: Scored 1,745 points playing for Hall of Fame coach John McLendon; Three-time All-Conference; Enshrined in NAIA Hall of Fame (1962).

Pro Highlights (NBA Boston Celtics, 1957-69): All-NBA Second Team (1965-67); Five-time NBA All-Star (1962, 1964-66, 1968); Member of 10 championship teams (1959-66 and 1968-69); Tallied 15,411 points (17.7 ppg) in his 12-year career; Scored 2,909 points in 154 playoff games (18.9 ppg), 15th best in history; NBA 25th Anniversary Team (1970); NBA 50th Anniversary Team (1996).

Hall of Fame Bio: At six-foot-four, Sam Jones was the prototype of the tall guard who could run the floor, bang the boards and had a rangy offensive game that gave opponents fits. One of the “Jones Boys” in Boston, Sam teamed with K.C. in the Celtics backcourt to create havoc in NBA arenas around the country. Jones favored an unorthodox but highly effective “bank shot” that became the muscle behind his and Boston’s 10 NBA championships, including eight in a row (1958-66). As a collegian, Jones was an offensive firehouse scoring 1,745 points while playing for Hall of Fame coach John McLendon at all-black North Carolina College. Jones was not a collegiate All-America and was a relative unknown, but that didn’t sway Red Auerbach, who drafted Sam in the first round of the 1957 draft. Jones didn’t disappoint the Boston faithful. His 12-year NBA career included five All-Star Game appearances, 871 regular season games and 154 playoff games. Considered one of the NBA’s most prolific graceful shooters, Jones scored 15,411 points (17.7 ppg), plus 2,909 (18.9 ppg) more in the playoffs. Considered one of the fastest NBA guards with superb court vision and savvy, Jones led the Celtics in scoring three times, averaging a career-high 25.9 points in 1965. An extremely popular player, in 1970 Jones was selected to the NBA Silver Anniversary Team (1970), a composition of the greatest NBA stars of the league’s first 25 years. He later would be named one of the top 50 players in history when the NBA celebrated its 50th Anniversary in 1996.

Chancellor Charlie Nelms has led North Carolina Central University since 2007. During that time, despite a challenging budget climate, he has intensified the university’s emphasis on student success, setting ambitious goals for increasing student retention and graduation rates. These goals were given first priority in the strategic planning effort Nelms led to successful completion in 2010. In keeping with this priority, Nelms reorganized the University College to provide comprehensive advising and academic support services for all entering students and he instituted programs to improve the academic success of African-American males in particular.

Nelms established a new vice chancellor for research and economic development to better manage the university's growing research sector.

In 2010 – 2011, university faculty received more than $25 million in sponsored research grants. This year, the university has embarked on the development of a Ph.D. program in integrated biosciences that is scheduled to enroll students in fall 2012. These will be the first doctoral students at NCCU since 1964.

Chancellor Nelms has dramatically improved the aesthetics and physical assets of the campus with the infusion of more than $75 million in new construction of a nursing building, residence hall and parking deck, and millions more in renovation of existing facilities. It was Nelms’ inspiration to move the historic Holy Cross Catholic Church across campus to its new location on Fayetteville Street alongside the new Centennial Garden.

In 2011, Nelms published A Call to Action, a policy directive intended to spur a national d i a l o g u e c o n c e r n i n g the revitalization of the historically black colleges and universi t ies as an important sector of American higher education.

B e f o r e c o m i n g t o NCCU, Ne lms served as v i ce p res iden t fo r Institutional Development and Student Affairs for the Indiana University system. He was also a chancellor twice before. In 1987, Nelms began a seven-year tenure as chancellor of Indiana University East, and in 1994 he was named chancellor of the University of Michigan at Flint (UMF). There , he reso lved a significant campus budget deficit, reversed a four-year enrollment decline and secured more than $75 million in private gifts to UMF.

Active in professional, civic, and higher education organizations, Nelms is past chair of the NCA Higher Learning Commission Board of Trustees and the National Advisory Board of the National Survey of Student Engagement. He also served as chair of the American Council on Education (ACE) Commission for Leadership Development and currently

serves on ACE’s blue ribbon panel concerning accreditation. Nelms is a member of the Charles Stewart Mott Foundation Board of Trustees and serves on the board of directors of the American Association of State Colleges & Universities.

Nelms is a native of Crawfordsville, Ark., and earned his undergraduate degree in agronomy and chemistry at the University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff, graduating in 1968. He earned a master's degree in higher education and student affairs in 1971 and a doctorate in higher education administration six years later from Indiana University. Early in his career, he taught and held administrative positions at Earlham College in Indiana, the University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff, Indiana University Northwest in Gary and Sinclair Community College in Ohio.

Nelms is married to Jeanetta Sherrod Nelms. They have one son, Rashad, a graduate of the University of Michigan Law School who serves as a policy officer with the United Nations World Food Programme.

CHANCELLOR CHARLIE NELMS UNIVERSITY PROFILE


History In 1910, Dr. James E. Shepard envisioned

and founded a school that prepared African American adults for leadership roles in our nation’s communities. Founded as the National Religious Training School and Chautauqua, North Carolina Central University (NCCU) became the nation’s first state-supported historically black liberal arts college. In 1923, the National Training School became the state-supported Durham State Normal School, devoted to “the training of teachers for the Colored Public Schools of North Carolina.”

Two years later, Dr. Shepard was able to persuade the General Assembly to take a revolutionary step, making the institution a liberal arts college and naming it North Carolina College for Negroes in 1925. The School of Law was established in 1940 and the School of Library Science in 1941. By the time of Dr. Shepard’s death on October 6, 1947, the institution that had become North Carolina College at Durham was fully-accredited, highly respected and had become the alma mater of a growing list of distinguished alumni.

Today, under the leadership of Chancellor Charlie Nelms, NCCU is a comprehensive university offering more than 100 bachelor’s degrees in various disciplines, 40 master’s degree programs and three professional degrees in law. The university reaches out to all racial and ethnic groups, and has a diverse student population of more than 8,000.

New InitiativesNCCU is on the cutting edge with its

Biomanufacturing Research Institute and Technology Enterprise known as BRITE. The institute offers new bachelor’s and master’s

degrees in pharmaceutical science. These programs provide students with core scientific competencies in biology or chemistry as well as hands-on laboratory practice. In addition, there are seminar courses in drug development operations, FDA regulations, quality assurance and control, and intellectual property and patent law. NCCU’s BRITE is an important part of the statewide initiative to make North Carolina a premiere provider of skilled workers for the biotechnology industry.

The School of Law has won kudos for providing top-notch legal education. According to Vault, Inc., a publishing firm that researches and collects data on diverse professions, the law school has not received the acknowledgment it is due. Vault surveyed 512 recruiters who identified 25 “underrated” schools, and the NCCU School of Law was ranked at number 14.

NCCU and the African American Jazz Caucus are partnering to form the NCCU/AAJC Jazz Research Institute (NAJRI) in an effort to preserve the integrity of jazz as an African American art form. One of the functions of the Institute will be to address the critical artistic and economic situation of jazz in the African American community as well as develop other initiatives such as a North Carolina Hall of Fame dedicated to highlighting the work of jazz artists from North Carolina.

In an effort to bring more study abroad options to students, NCCU has been accepted as a member of the International Student Exchange Program (ISEP), a nonprofit membership organization that provides affordable and diverse study abroad and exchange opportunities to students around the world. NCCU is only one of four historically black college or university in the ISEP network. ISEP membership makes it possible for NCCU students to study abroad at over 135 different universities in 39 countries.

NCCU is the first historically black institution in the nation to have an athletic training education program accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs.

Built upon the motto of Truth and Service, NCCU is a university committed to preparing and equipping students with the knowledge and skills to compete in the global marketplace.

ATHLETICS DEPARTMENT


Ingrid Wicker-McCreeDirector of Athletics

Ingrid Wicker-McCree, Ed.D. was appointed as the Director of Athletics at North Carolina Central University on April 23, 2008, after holding the interim position for five months.

She officially began her new leadership role on May 1, 2008.

Wicker-McCree,who joined the rank of only a handful of women athletic directors in the UNC system, previously served as NCCU’s associate athletics director for internal affairs. She has served in a variety of leadership positions in both conference and national

level organizations, most notably as president of the Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association (CIAA) Executive Board from 2004-06, becoming only the second woman to ever hold that position in the league’s history. In addition, she served as a member of the NCAA’s Division II Legislation Committee from 2003-07.

In recognition of her work, Wicker-McCree received the CIAA Leadership Award for Service as president of the Executive Board and was named the CIAA Senior Woman Administrator of the Year in the spring of 2006.

Now in her 15th year at NCCU, Wicker-McCree has been one of the driving forces behind NCCU’s reclassification to NCAA Division I. Since 1998, she has overseen the internal operations of the Athletics Department, including all compliance and eligibility programs.

Her impact on this university's athletic department has been immense. It has been her strong leadership skills that have enabled NCCU to make the trek to Division I a successful one thus far. With her steadfast and forward thinking she has increased the number of staff members two-fold while merging and creating a brand-new fund raising arm for the Athletic department, The Eagle Club. Not to mention the nearly one million dollars worth of upgrades to O'Kelly Riddick Stadium with the brand-new Mondoturf playing surface and the newly-installed videoscoreboard called, "Eaglevision". Those are just a few of the changes and additions that she has set in motion during her time, and those will certainly go a long way into planting the seeds of her legacy.

Wicker-McCree began her career at NCCU as the head coach for women’s volleyball and softball. She became the first coach in NCCU history to win conference championships in multiple sports, capturing the school’s first-ever CIAA titles in softball (1998) and volleyball (1999, 2004, 2005). A three-time CIAA Volleyball Coach of the Year (1999, 2002, 2005) and former member of the NCAA Division II National Volleyball Committee, Wicker-McCree earned 239 match victories in 12 seasons as head volleyball coach at NCCU. She was also inducted into the NCCU Athletic Hall of Fame in 2004 as head coach of the 1998 softball team.

A native of Durham and graduate of C.E. Jordan High School, Wicker-McCree played on two North Carolina high school state volleyball championship teams, while also lettering in basketball and track and field. She continued her volleyball playing career as a student-athlete at George Washington University.

Wicker-McCree earned her undergraduate degree in criminal justice from George Washington University in 1989, and a master’s degree in recreation resources administration

from North Carolina State University in December 1991. She also completed doctoral studies in higher education administration at North Carolina State University in June 2008.

She began her coaching career as a graduate assistant coach for the women’s volleyball program at N.C. State (1989-90). She then spent two seasons (1992-93) as head volleyball coach and student-athlete academic counselor at North Carolina A&T State University before returning to her hometown to begin her NCCU tenure in August 1994.

Wicker-McCree has been involved as a player and coach in the USA Volleyball Carolina Region. She also served as director of three USAV Junior Olympic Teams (ages 18, 16, 14 and under) and director of the Y.M.C.A. Middle School Girls’ Volleyball Camp (ages 10-14).

Wicker-McCree and her husband, Geno McCree, a three-sport collegiate student-athlete and 1991 graduate of Elon University, are the proud parents of Alexia (11), Quinton (9) and Sydney (5).

Ingrid Wicker-McCree has taken the NCCUAthletics Department from the Division II level to Division I, her vision will be a key factor in the Eagles' success at the highest level of amateur sports.

“Winning” for the Eagles is more than outscoring the opponent, it is excelling in the classroom, actively participat-ing in community service projects and adhering to NCAA rules regarding recruitment and admission of student-athletes.

How can you help the Eagles win?

Follow the NCAA rules The NCAA defines an institution as the University, its employees, its

student-athletes, and its representa-tives of athletics interests, including parents alumnus/and fans. Therefore beware of the following:

NCAA BYLAW 13.1.2.1

In Division I, representatives of an institution’s athletics interests are prohibited from making in-person, on- or off-campus recruiting contacts, including written and/or telephonic communications with a prospect or the prospect’s relatives or legal guardians.

A prospect is defined as any student who has started classes for the ninth grade, whether the stu-dent participates in athletics is not relevant to the classification as a prospect and neither is gender.

NCAA BYLAW 16.02.3

An extra benefit is any special arrangement by an institutional employee or a representative of the institution’s athletics interests to provide a student-athlete or the student-athlete’s relative or friend a benefit not expressly authorized by NCAA legislation. Unless you are willing to give a benefit to all 8,000 students at NCCU, don’t give it to a student-athlete or a prospect.

HELP THE EAGLES WIN CHAMPIONSHIPS!

MID-EASTERN ATHLETIC CONFERENCE HISTORY



The Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC) begins its 42nd year of intercollegiate competition heading into the 2011-12 academic school year. Located in Norfolk, Va., the MEAC is made up of 13 outstanding historically black institutions across the Atlantic coastline: Bethune-Cookman University, Coppin State University, Delaware State University, Florida A&M University, Hampton University, Howard University, University of Maryland Eastern Shore, Morgan State University, Norfolk State University, North Carolina A&T State University, North Carolina Central University, Savannah State University and South Carolina State University.

The MEAC sponsors 15 Division I (FCS) sports with automatic qualifying bids for NCAA postseason competition in baseball, bowling, men’s and women’s basketball, men’s and women’s cross country, football, men’s and women’s tennis, men’s and women’s track and field, softball, and volleyball.

MEAC student-athletes excel on and off the field and several have been recognized on ESPN The Magazine/CoSIDA Academic All-America and All-District teams. The MEAC awards two post-graduate scholarships of $5,000 each annually to one male and one female student-athlete who have excelled academically and athletically and are in their final season of intercollegiate athletics eligibility and competition under MEAC and NCAA regulations.

was named commissioner and has served in the position for nine years. The conference’s first expansion occurred in October 1979 when Bethune-Cookman College and Florida A&M University were voted into the MEAC as new members. Original members Morgan State, North Carolina Central and Maryland Eastern Shore withdrew from the conference at the end of the 1979-80 fiscal year. Maryland Eastern Shore was readmitted in 1981 and Morgan State returned in 1984. Florida A&M opted to resign in 1984 but rejoined the conference in 1986. Coppin State College was granted admittance in 1985, becoming the ninth member institution.

The MEAC expanded again in the 1990s with the inclusion of Hampton University (1995) and Norfolk State University (1997). The conference expanded once again in 2007, adding Winston-Salem State University. Following the 2009-10 academic/athletic season, however, Winston-Salem State withdrew from the conference and returned to Division II. On July 1, 2010, the MEAC made its most recent expansion with the admittance of North Carolina Central and Savannah State University.

On June 8, 1980, the MEAC was classified as a Division I conference by the NCAA. Prior to that year, the conference operated as a Division II conference. The month after it achieved Division I status, the MEAC received an automatic qualification to the NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Championship. Currently, the conference has automatic qualifying bids for NCAA postseason play in baseball (since 1994), men’s basketball (since 1981), women’s basketball (since 1982), football (since 1996), softball (since 1995), men’s and women’s tennis (since 1998), and volleyball (since 1994).

The MEAC initiated cross country in 1980, and North Carolina A&T earned the inaugural men’s crown. The first women’s cross country championship took place a year later, with Howard winning the first of its seven titles. Indoor Track and Field was also added in 1981, with South Carolina State capturing the men’s title and Howard winning the women’s crown.

Tennis and golf returned as MEAC-governed sports in 1981 after a five-year hiatus. South Carolina State won all seven of the conference’s golf championships from 1972-1983 before the sport was

HISTORY In 1969, a bold ad hoc group of innovators long associated with intercollegiate athletics met in Durham, N.C., to discuss the feasibility of organizing a new conference. From these discussions, they formed a steering and planning committee to fully investigate the idea, present a detailed report with recommendations to interested collegiate institutions and construct a workshop to outline proposals.

After selecting a proposal and adopting a program, seven institutions (Delaware State College, Howard University, University of Maryland Eastern Shore, Morgan State University, North Carolina A&T State University, North Carolina Central University and South Carolina State College) agreed to become the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference. Their major objective was to establish, organize and supervise an intercollegiate athletic program among a compact group of educational institutions of high academic standards with a sound philosophy of co-curricular activities. The conference agreed to seek Division I status for its sports.

The conference was confirmed in 1970, kicking off its first season of competition in football in 1971. In 1978, the MEAC reached a milestone when it selected Kenneth A. Free to be its first full-time commissioner. Free served the conference for 18 years before stepping down in May of 1996. In July 1996, Charles S. Harris was named commissioner and served in the capacity until April 2002. On September 1, 2002, Dr. Dennis E. Thomas

discontinued after the 1983 championship.

Baseball, which began in 1972, was discontinued following the 1977 season. It was brought back as a MEAC-governed sport along with women’s volleyball in 1983. Women’s softball became a MEAC-sanctioned sport in 1992.

Bowling was officially sanctioned as a MEAC sport in 1999. The MEAC was the first conference to secure NCAA sanctioning for women’s bowling by adopting the club sport prior to the 1996-97 school year.

SPORTS HIGHLIGHTS The MEAC has enjoyed tremendous athletic success over the years. In 2008, Maryland Eastern Shore (UMES) defeated Arkansas State 4-2 to win the NCAA Women’s Bowling National Championship, a first for the conference and institution. With the victory, Lady Hawks’ Head Coach Sharon Brummell became the first female head coach to win an NCAA bowling title. The Lady Hawks repeated the feat in 2011 to win the team’s second NCAA title. During the same season, UMES won the United States Bowling Congress (USBC) Intercollegiate Team Championships (ITC), becoming the first team to win two national championships during the same season.

In men’s basketball, UMES became the first historically black college/university (HBCU) to participate in the 1974 National Invitational Tournament (NIT). The Hawks defeated Manhattan, 84-81, in the first round before falling to Jacksonville by two points in the second round. Before the Jacksonville loss, UMES had the best record in the nation at 27-1. That same year, Morgan State won the NCAA College Division II National Championship and junior center Marvin “The Human Eraser” Webster was named the Division II Player of the Year.

The 1981 tournament champion Howard Bison became the first MEAC team to play in the NCAA Division I Basketball Championship.

Coppin State and Hampton made history in the NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Tournament with first-round victories. The No. 15 seeded Coppin State Eagles defeated No. 2 South Carolina in 1997, and No. 15 seeded Hampton defeated No. 2 Iowa State in 2001. ESPN Sports Center ranked both victories ranked among the Top 10 greatest tournament upsets of all time

In women’s basketball, South Carolina State won the Association for Intercollegiate Athletics for Women (AIAW) Division II

National Championship in 1979. In 1982, Howard became the first MEAC women’s team to participate in the NCAA Division I Women’s Basketball Championship. South Carolina State earned the conference’s bid in 1983 and became the first MEAC team, men or women, to win an opening-round game in the NCAA Division I Basketball Tournament.

In 2010, The North Carolina A&T Lady Aggies defeated Wake Forest and Charlotte before falling to Miami in the third round of the Women’s National Invitation Tournament (WNIT). North Carolina A&T became the first MEAC team and historically black college/university to win two consecutive basketball games in a national postseason tournament.

The No. 13 Hampton Lady Pirates faced No. 4 Kentucky in the 2011 NCAA Division I Women’s Basketball Tournament. The 13th seed was the highest seed earned by a MEAC women’s basketball program since the inception of the 64-team bracket in 1994.

In football, the MEAC was instrumental in constructing the Freedom Bowl All-Star Classic, the Heritage Bowl and the Gold Bowl. Prior to Division I competition, the MEAC competed in the Gold Bowl, held in Richmond, Va., which matched the MEAC champion against the champion of the Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association (CIAA). South Carolina State represented the MEAC in 1976 and 1979, winning both outings over Winston-Salem State and Norfolk State respectively. In addition to the 1976 and 1979 crowns, South Carolina State won MEAC football titles in 1974-78, 1980-83, 1994, 2004, 2008 and 2009. South Carolina State won MEAC football titles in 1974-78, 1980-83,1994, 2004, 2008 and 2009. They were also named co-champions along with Bethune-Cookman and Florida A&M during the 2010 season. During the 1981 and 1982 seasons, South Carolina State reached the second round of the I-AA championships.

On the track, Hampton’s Francenca McCorory set an American record in the 400m dash with a time of 50.54 and defended her national indoor title at the 2010 NCAA Indoor Championships. McCorory, a two-time All-American and three-time MEAC indoor champion in the 400m dash, became the first back-to-back NCAA indoor 400m champion since Suziann Reid of Texas (1998 and 1999). McCorory was named the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) Division I National Athlete of the Year for the 2010 Indoor Track and Field

season.

In outdoor track and field, North Carolina Central won the first three MEAC titles. The quartet of Melvin Bassett, Robert Ouko, Julius Sang and Larry Black set the world record in the sprint medley relay with a time of 38.19 in the 1972 Olympics. The Eagles finished fourth in the 1974 NCAA Division I Men’s Outdoor Track and Field Championship. MEAC women began outdoor track and field conference competition in 1980. In 1982, South Carolina State won the AIAW Division II Outdoor Track and Field National Championship.

The MEAC has showcased more than 27 athletes in the Olympics. Among them, 11 have earned medals during the Summer Games.

In 2003, Florida A&M became the first MEAC school to win a volleyball match in the NCAA Championship, with a first-round win over Winthrop. In 2004, the Lady Rattlers became the first historically black college/university to rank in the Top 25 of the American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA) national poll.

South Carolina State’s women’s tennis team earned the conference’s first Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA) ranking in a 2005 poll, reaching No. 72.

In softball, Bethune-Cookman earned the conference’s first-ever at-large bid to the NCAA Softball Championship in 2005. The Lady Wildcats defeated Florida, Central Florida and South Florida in the Florida Regional to become the first MEAC school to win an NCAA Division I Softball Regional. Bethune-Cookman ended the 2005 season with the conference’s first-ever rankings in the final softball polls, reaching No. 18 in the NFCA/USA Today Coaches poll and No. 23 in the USA Softball/ESPN.com Poll.

Florida A&M was the first MEAC baseball team to advance to NCAA postseason play in 1994. The Rattlers took on Southeastern Louisiana in a best of three play-in series, falling after two games, 11-10 and 8-7. During the 2002 campaign, Bethune-Cookman advanced to the Gainesville Regional and became the first MEAC team to win in the NCAA Tournament with a 7-4 victory over Florida International. The Wildcats had previously lost to Florida in their first game 13-1, and the team was eliminated from the regional with a 21-10 loss in its second matchup against the Gators.
