Anne B. Kerr, Ph.D. College President Since her appointment as Florida Southern College’s seventeenth president in 2004, Dr. Anne Kerr’s visionary leadership has enhanced the student experience on campus and increased the college’s national prominence. Under her direction, the institution has renewed its commitment to educate the whole

person—academically, socially, spiritually and physically—in order to insure that students leave prepared to make a positive and consequential impact on our world. Early in her tenure, Dr. Kerr oversaw implementation of a comprehensive strategic plan for the College that was designed to enrich all facets of our student-centered culture. Opportunities for active learning and leadership were increased; innovative, engaged, and personalized instruction were prioritized; and the College’s scholar-athlete program became a national model for NCAA Division II athletic programs. Recent college improvements include ongoing restoration projects on the Frank Lloyd Wright campus and the construction of a Frank Lloyd Wright Usonian House for use as a Tourism and Education Center, which will be the first Wright design built since 1966. Other new construction includes the two-building Barnett Residential Complex and the

Christoverson Humanities Building (all three designed by world-renowned architect Robert A.M. Stern), the McKay Archives Center, the Blanton Nursing Building, the Rinker Technology Center, and TûTû’s Café (located in the Roux Library). Further improvements include the complete renovation of the student dining facility (Wynee’s Bistro), residence hall and campus-wide technology upgrades, and a campus beautification project featuring dozens of interconnected plazas and gardens. Dr. Kerr graduated from Mercer University and received her M.S. and Ph.D. from Florida State University. Prior to assuming the Presidency at Florida Southern, she served as Vice President for Advancement both at the University of Richmond and at Rollins College. She has held numerous volunteer leadership roles, and currently serves on the boards of SunTrust Bank, All Saints’ Academy, EarthLinked Technologies, Inc., the Polk Museum of Art, and the Florida Chamber of Commerce. She recently completed a two-year term as president of the Sunshine State Athletic Conference. Dr. Kerr and her husband, Roy, have a seventeen-year-old son, Ed, who plays baseball for All Saints’ Academy. Dr. Roy Kerr is a retired professor of Spanish and a baseball historian, whose recent publications include The Loving of the Game: a Baseball Memoir (2007); Sliding Billy Hamilton: the Life and Times of Baseball’s First Great Leadoff Man (2010), and Roger Connor: Home Run King of Nineteenth-Century Baseball (2011).

Pete Meyer Athletic Director

Now in his fourth year (2011-12) as Director of Athletics at Florida Southern College, Pete Meyer saw Moccasin teams enjoy another successful year in 2010-11. The women’s golf team finished third at the NCAA Division II Championship; the swimming team claimed four individual event NCAA championships (Mary O’Sullivan – 200-yard freestyle and 200-yard backstroke, Jeb Halfacre – 200-yard backstroke, and the men’s 400-yard medley relay team); and twelve of FSC’s programs participated in NCAA postseason competition. FSC won Sunshine State Conference titles in men’s cross country (14th straight) and women’s basketball (regular season and SSC tournament), won the SSC women’s Mayors’ Cup, and tied for second in the men’s Mayors’ Cup. That success combined to give the Moccasins a 19th-place finish, tops among SSC schools, in the 2010-11 Learfield Sports/NACDA Cup standings and their 10th top-25 finish in the program's history. Meyer also returned to the coaching ranks in 2010-11, taking command of the baseball program 12 games into the season and guiding the Moccasins to a final season record of 32-15. In 2009-10, FSC won its 12th NCAA men’s golf title and 27th national title overall and produced its first national champion in swimming (Jeb Halfacre – 200-yard backstroke). Eleven programs were represented in NCAA postseason competition, with men’s golf, basketball and cross country teams capturing SSC titles. In Meyer's first year as AD (2008-09), Moccasin teams produced three SSC championships (men's cross country, men's basketball, softball) and a fifth-place national finish in women's golf. Eleven FSC teams went to NCAA postseason competition.

Named to the AD position February 21, 2008, he officially assumed his duties July 1, 2008, when Lois Webb retired. In the fall of 2008, Meyer was given the additional title of Dean of Wellness, putting the operation of the Hollis Wellness Center, as well as the water ski program and campus intramurals under his direction. Meyer, who has been at Florida Southern since 1998, also served as assistant athletics director for Webb from February of 2006 until his AD appointment. In his previous stint as baseball coach (2002-08), Meyer spent six full seasons as head coach, guiding the Moccasins to their ninth NCAA Division II national title in 2005 with a 51-11 record. His head coaching record at Florida Southern is 282-121-1, while his overall record as a head coach is 321-151-1. Thirty-eight Moccasin baseball players have been drafted or signed professional contracts during Meyer's tenure as head coach. Before officially assuming the reigns of head baseball coach in June of 2002, Meyer had served for over three years as Florida Southern's top assistant coach under Chuck Anderson. He also was the program's recruiting coordinator. Prior to joining the FSC coaching staff, Meyer spent five seasons at Valdosta State, working under legendary head coach Tommy Thomas. Before his stint at Valdosta State, Meyer was head baseball coach at Oglethorpe University in Atlanta, where he coordinated the start of the school's Division III program in 1991. His Oglethorpe teams won Eastern Division titles in the SCAC in each of his two seasons (1992-93). He served as a graduate assistant at Valdosta State from 1988-90, while earning his M. Ed. in physical education. A four-year baseball letterman at the College of Wooster in Ohio, Meyer graduated in 1987 with a B.A. in speech communication. Meyer is married to the former Julie Newnum. The couple has three children - 23-year old Ross, 21-year-old Mitchell, who is enrolled at FSC, and 20-year old Megan, who attends Trinity University in Texas.

BASKETBALL – “SOUTHERN STYLE”

EDUCATION FIRST… The Florida Southern athletic department is proud to graduate 84 percent of its student-athletes, according to the latest NCAA Division II Student-Athlete Success Rate. That figure is well above the national average, and the Sunshine State Conference as a whole boasts the highest graduation rate of any Division II conference in the country. An Academic Athletic Advising Office has been established to help Florida Southern student-athletes find the right balance between academic, athletic, social and personal development, and to prepare them for life after their college career. SUCCESSFUL CAREERS… All Florida Southern students have access to job opportunities through the college’s career center. Throughout the academic year, business executives visit the campus to conduct interviews with senior students. COMMUNITY SUPPORT… Florida Southern is proud to have broad-based community support through the Sixth Man Club. Members can meet the coaches and players through monthly Sixth Man Club Luncheons. Reserved seating, a hospitality room during all home games, and an end of the year banquet are other benefits of this fine organization.

A WINNING TRADITION… The Moccasins have been playing basketball since the early 1920’s, and they’re used to winning. No school has won the SSC more than Florida Southern, and the Mocs have been to the NCAA Tournament 23 times since 1980.

EXCITING HOME GAMES… When the Mocs are in town, fans can count on an exciting night of basketball. From a high-powered offense to a stingy defense, the Mocs are proud of their play in Jenkins Field House. Student organizations are encouraged to support the Mocs through various game night pro-motions and contests. SEE THE WORLD… When the Moccasins take a road trip, they take the word “trip” seriously. In past seasons, the Mocs have visited Alaska, Colorado, Costa Rica, Hawaii, New England, New York City, Montana, Oregon, Puerto Rico, Washington, D.C., the Virgin Islands and the Bahamas.

A trip to Hawaii in December of 2009, allowed the Mocs totake in sights like Diamond Head, Waikiki Beach andPearl Harbor.

Head Coach Linc Darner

Now in his sixth season as Florida Southern’s head men’s basketball coach, Linc Darner has already led the Moccasins to three Sunshine State Conference regular season titles, two SSC Tournament titles, and four straight NCAA Tournament appearances. During his first five years at Florida Southern, he’s put together a 109-50 record, and the Mocs have won at least 23 games in each of the last four seasons (2008-11).

Overall in nine years as a college head coach, Darner has compiled a career record of 183-95, for a career winning percentage of .658 entering the 2011-12 season. That includes four years at St. Joseph’s College (IN) where he coached from 2002-06. In his final season at St. Joseph’s, Darner led the Pumas to the Great Lakes Valley Conference regular season title, giving him four conference championships and five trips to the NCAA Tournament in the last six years. In addition to the success enjoyed by his teams at both St. Joseph’s and Florida Southern, Darner has won four conference coach-of-the-year awards during his nine seasons as a head coach. He was the 2006 GLVC Coach-of-the-Year before earning the same honor in the Sunshine State Conference in 2008, 2009, and 2010. Darner is the only coach in the history of the Sunshine State Conference to win that award three consecutive years. In going 23-9 during the 2010-11 season, Florida Southern also went 12-4 in conference play for a second-place finish behind Rollins. That enabled the Moccasins to earn an at-large bid to the NCAA South Region Tournament, where they immediately knocked off the higher seeded Tars in the opening round before falling to Stillman in the regional semifinals. That gives Darner a 3-4 record in the NCAA Tournament at Florida Southern, to go along with an 8-3 mark in the SSC Tournament. Last year’s team also averaged over 80 points per game (81.5) for the fourth year in a row, making Florida Southern one of the highest scoring teams in the country during that stretch. They’ve led the SSC in scoring offense each of the last three seasons after doing that just three times in the previous 25 years. Darner and the Moccasins won their most recent conference championship in 2010, when Florida Southern went 25-5 overall and 13-3 in the SSC, tying the team record for most conference wins. The Mocs averaged over 85 points per game, the third year in a row they ranked among the 20 highest scoring teams in Division II, shot 43 percent from 3-point range to rank fourth in Division II, and their .756 free throw percentage was 11th in the country. The Mocs proved impossible to beat at home too, going 17-0 at Jenkins Field House, only the fourth time since World War II they were undefeated on their home court. In winning the regular season title in the SSC for the third year in a row, Darner again rallied his team down the stretch. Trailing Rollins a by a game-and-a-half in the standings on February 6, and having lost to the Tars already in Winter Park, the Moccasins faced them again in a match-up of nationally ranked teams at Jenkins Field House. Florida Southern led from start to finish in a game that turned into a blowout, went on to win the final six games of the regular season, and earned the top seed in the SSC Tournament for the third straight year.

Florida Southern spent that entire season ranked in the NABC Top-25, the first time in 10 years the Moccasins accomplished that, and their #2 ranking in late December and early January was their highest in nine years. They finished the year at #13. In addition to Darner being named the SSC Coach-of-the-Year, the Moccasins had three players named to the all-conference team, headlined by senior John Thompson, the 2010 SSC Player-of-the-Year and the program’s first All-American since 2004. Thompson was the second conference player-of-the-year coached by Darner, and was also the first Moccasin selected to play in the NABC Division II All-Star Game. Three years ago, the Mocs were 29-7 under Darner, the most wins for Florida Southern since 2000, and the third highest total in the program’s 84-year history. Among those 29 wins were two in the South Region Tournament, the Mocs’ first NCAA playoff wins since 2000 as well. That enabled Florida Southern to finish the season as South Region runner-up and ranked #11 in the final NABC national rankings. In addition to their 29-7 overall record, the Mocs were also 13-3 in the Sunshine State Conference, equaling the most SSC wins in team history. They overcame a loss to Rollins in their SSC opener in early December, but took control of the race at the end of January after beating the Tars in a rematch. They owned at least a share of the lead the rest of the way and clinched the title before the final regular season game for the second year in a row. The Mocs then won their first two games in the SSC Tournament by a combined 60 points before edging Rollins in the championship game, 77-76 in overtime. At the end of the year, Darner became the first Moccasin basketball coach to be selected to coach in the annual NABC Division II All-Star Game, coaching the East Team in Springfield, Massachusetts. While 2008-09 may have been a remarkable season for the Moccasins, Darner’s first two years at Florida Southern may have been even more so. After an 8-20 record in year one, the Moccasins put together a stunning turnaround in year two, going 24-9 overall, and winning the Sunshine State Conference with a 12-4 league record. They also won the SSC Tournament, were the top seed in the NCAA South Region Tournament, and finished at #17 in the national poll. Considering the history of the program, those results may have seemed like normal accomplishments, but it was the way they were done that was noteworthy, and ultimately earned Darner his first SSC Coach-of-the-Year award.

Florida Southern became the first team in SSC history to go from “worst-to-first”, and was one of only two schools in the country at any NCAA level to accomplish that feat in 2008. Their nine-game improvement in the SSC standings was also the best in league history, and the Moccasins were one of only five teams in any NCAA division that went from 20 losses to 20 wins that season. They accomplished all of that by facing a regular season schedule that included five games against different ranked opponents. The Mocs beat three of them, matching their best total in one season in the last 20 years. They also played nine games against teams that qualified for the NCAA Division II Tournament, and took national runner-up Augusta State to overtime before falling, 76-75. Remarkable turnarounds are nothing new to Darner, who accomplished the same thing at St. Joseph’s College in Rensselaer, Indiana, where he coached four seasons (2002-06) before coming to Florida Southern. The Pumas saw their win total increase each year under Darner, culminating with a 31-3 record in his final season, the best in school history. When he first arrived at St. Joseph’s, the Pumas had had just one winning season in the previous 10 years, playing in a league that features perennial national powers Kentucky Wesleyan and Southern Indiana, as well as 2006 national runner-up SIU-Edwardsville. Darner’s first St. Joseph’s team went 11-17, before improving to 15-13 the following year, and 17-12 in the 2004-05 season. His final team at St. Joseph’s not only set school records for wins, points, and 3-point field goals, it also earned its first conference title since 1992, its first outright title since 1979, and made its first ever appearance in the GLVC Tournament championship game, where the Pumas defeated Quincy, 68-67. That earned St. Joseph’s the top seed in the Great Lakes Region Tournament, the Pumas’ first NCAA bid in 14 years. The Pumas ranked 17th in the nation in scoring (84.8 points per game), and their .912 winning percentage was fourth among all college teams at any NCAA or NAIA level. St. Joseph’s was ranked as high as #2 in the nation and among its 31 victories was an 81-76 win over eventual national champion Winona State (MN). The Pumas’ accomplishments in 2006 earned Darner the Great Lakes Valley Conference Coach-of-the-Year award, as well as the Great Lakes Region Coach-of-the-Year award from the National Association of Basketball Coaches. Two of his players were named first team all-conference and made the all-region team as well, including GLVC Player-of-the-Year Sullivan Sykes, St. Joseph’s first All-American in 18 years. In the 94-year history of St. Joseph’s men’s basketball, Darner ranks fifth in career wins (he was fourth at the time of his departure), and third in career winning percentage among those with at least four seasons. His teams averaged better than 80 points a game during all four years of his tenure, and St. Joseph’s was one of only 11 Division II teams to do that in each of those four seasons. Darner didn’t leave his high-scoring offense behind when he came to Florida Southern in the spring of 2006 as the 22nd head coach in the program’s history, but only the seventh since 1956. Though it took a couple of years for the Moccasins to adjust to a new offense, they too have become one of the country’s top scoring teams. In the last four years Florida Southern has reached triple digits 16 times, something it did only 16 times the previous 14 years. In 2008, the Mocs finished the year ranked #14 in Division II in scoring offense with an 83.5 average that represented a 16

percent improvement over Darner’s first year at the helm. It was the best 1-year improvement for the Mocs in 52 years, and they didn’t stop there. The 2009 team was 19th in scoring, but saw its average rise to 84.0 points per game, the highest for Florida Southern in 21 years, and in 2010, the Mocs’ average increased again to 85.2, good for 13th in Division II. They ranked 26th last year while scoring 81.5 points per game. Florida Southern’s scoring average the last four years illustrates the type of up-tempo offense Darner runs, and 3-point shooting is a big part of it. After making 159 long-range baskets in his first year, the Mocs have exploded by making almost 1,200 in the last four. In 2008, the Mocs finished fourth in the country in 3-point field goals per game with a school and SSC-record 10.3 average, their .407 shooting percentage behind the arc was good for ninth in Division II, and their total of 340 treys shattered the previous school record by 134. They made over 300 more from long range in 2009, leading the Sunshine State Conference for the second year in a row. Even after the NCAA moved the 3-point line back for the 2010-11 season, the Moccasins have continued to light up the scoreboard from long distance. Florida Southern is the only Division II school in the country to rank in the top 10 in 3-point shooting percentage each of the last two seasons, finishing fourth in 2010 before the change, and fourth again in 2011. Three-point shooting percentage was one of five statistical categories in which Florida Southern finished in the top ten nationally in 2011. The Mocs also set a school record for free throw percentage at .779, which was good for seventh in Division II, and the highest in the Sunshine State Conference for the second year in a row. Though Darner has only been a college head coach for eight years, already two of his former assistants have landed head coaching jobs of their own at the Division II level. The first was at St. Joseph’s where he was succeeded by Richard Davis, who continued what Darner started and guided the Pumas to the Division II Elite Eight in 2010. The other was Randall Herbst, who served on Darner’s first staff at Florida Southern, and just completed his second season at Mary University (ND) where he guided the Marauders to their first ever NCAA Tournament appearance. Herbst is now an assistant coach at Division I Nebraska-Omaha. Several of Darner’s players have achieved national recognition as well, with two Moccasins earning All-American honors and earning invitations to play in the annual NABC Division II All-Star Game. John Thompson was the first in 2010 (Division II Bulletin Third Team), and Rion Rayfield followed

Both players were also NABC All-South Region selections, with Rayfield earning that award three times in his Florida Southern career, and Rob Eldridge earning it twice. In his short time at Florida Southern, Darner has also brought in some of the greatest individual players in the program’s 84-year history, with three of the school’s top-ten career scoring leaders arriving under his watch. Rayfield graduated in 2011 as the Mocs’ second all-time leading scorer with 1,870 points and shattered the school’s previous record for 3-point field goals. Eldridge scored 1,411 points in just three years at Florida Southern before embarking on a pro career overseas. Brandon Jenkins totaled 1,532 points in his career to rank eighth all-time, and his brother Terry topped 1,000 points as well despite playing only three years for the Moccasins. Before his first head coaching job at St. Joseph’s, Darner spent four seasons (1998-2002) as an assistant coach at Ashland University in Ohio, serving as that program’s recruiting coordinator. During that time, Ashland was 72-38. Prior to that, he had brief stints as an assistant coach at Murray State, where he helped the Racers win two Ohio Valley Conference Championships, and at Lincoln Memorial (TN) University. As a collegiate player, Darner was a four-year letterman for coach Gene Keady at Purdue University, where the Boilermakers went 82-42 in his career (1990-94) and earned three NCAA Tournament bids. He was the first player under

Keady to be named a team captain twice, and was a teammate of future NBA #1 draft pick Glenn Robinson, and current Purdue head coach Matt Painter. In 1991, following his freshman year at Purdue, Darner played in the United States Olympic Festival where he helped the North team to a gold medal. As a senior, he captained Purdue to a 29-5 record, the Big Ten Championship, and a berth in the NCAA Division I regional finals. A 6-4 guard with the Boilermakers, Darner played in 124 games in his career, a figure that ranked fifth in school history at the time of his graduation. In 1991, he set a school freshman record for 3-point field goals made with 32, and he ranks among the career leaders at Purdue in 3-pointers, as well as 3-point field goal percentage. The 40-year old Darner graduated from Purdue in the spring of 1995 from the Krannert School of Business with a bachelor’s degree in management. He and his wife, Kristen, reside in Lakeland with their 11-year old daughter, Layne, and 5-year old son Tate.

Assistant Coach Tom Church

Tom Church is in his second season on the Florida Southern coaching staff after joining the Moccasins in September of 2010. Prior to that, he

served as an assistant coach at St. Joseph’s College in Indiana where he helped the Pumas to a 53-37 record and two NCAA Tournament appearances in three seasons on the sideline. Combined with his first year at Florida Southern, when the Moccasins went 23-9 and advanced to the NCAA South Region Tournament, Church has been a part of three NCAA playoff teams in his last four seasons as an assistant coach.

During his time at St. Joseph’s, the Pumas played in the NCAA Midwest Region Tournament in both 2008 and 2010. In his final season, he helped the Pumas win the Great

Lakes Valley Conference Northern Division title, and then pull off three straight upsets as the #8 seed in the Midwest Regional to advance to the Division II Elite Eight for the first time in school history. It was also the first time a #8 seed had won a regional tournament since the field was expanded in 2003.

Church has had connections to Florida Southern head coach Linc Darner for several years, going back to his days as a collegiate player at Ashland University in Ohio, where Darner was an assistant from

1998-2002. As a four-year letterman for Ashland, Church was twice named to the Academic All-Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference Team and was a team captain as a senior in 2003. He started all but one game that year, averaged 8.9 points and 4.3 rebounds, and was second on the team in both 3-pointers and 3-point shooting percentage (40-for-105). In his college career, Church made 104, 3-point field goals and shot 38 percent from behind the arc. He graduated with a bachelor’s degree in education in 2003, and later earned his MBA from Ashland in 2006. Before his college playing career at Ashland, Church was a First Team All-Ohio player at Conneaut High School, and the conference player-of-the-year as a senior. He finished his high school career as the Spartans’ third all-time leading scorer. Church and his wife, Jennifer, were married in 2011, and reside in Lakeland.

Assistant Coach BJ Aldridge

Joining the men’s basketball staff for the 2011-12 season is Bobby “BJ” Aldridge, an eight-year coaching veteran with experience at both the college and professional levels in the United States and overseas. Most recently, Aldridge was assistant coach and recruiting coordinator for Thomas More College in Kentucky, where he served two different stints. During his time at Thomas More, Aldridge put together a group of recruits who won two Presidents Athletic Conference regular season championships (the first in team history), and the 2009 PAC Tournament title that resulted in the Saints’ first ever bid to the NCAA Division III Tournament. He worked under two

different head coaches at Thomas More, first with John Ellenwood in 2007-08, before moving to Ashland University in when Ellenwood was named head coach at that NCAA Division II school in Ohio. After spending the 2009-10 season at Ashland, Aldridge returned to Thomas More in 2010-11, where he worked for head coach Jeff Rogers. In 2008-09, Aldridge was the associate head coach and recruiting coordinator at Rockford College in Illinois where he helped the Regents improve from 1-24 in 2008, to 17-10 in 2009. He successfully recruited two First Team All-NAC players and helped Rockford reach the semi-finals of the conference tournament for the first time ever. Aldridge began his coaching career in 2004-05 as an assistant varsity coach and freshman head coach at Larry A. Ryle High School in Union, Kentucky. He led the freshman team to a 19-3 record that year and a runner-up finish in the Northern Kentucky All-Freshman Tournament. He then moved to the college ranks the following year, serving two years as a student assistant at Georgetown College, a highly successful NAIA program in Kentucky that advanced to the round of 16 in the national tournament during his tenure. Aldridge spent the summer of 2010 in Iceland where he coached Korfuknattleiksfelag Isafjaroar (KFI) in Men’s Division I, the highest level of professional basketball in the country. He was also the head coach and general manager of the Southern Indiana Generals of the Kentucky Developmental Basketball League (semipro) from 2007-09, where he put together a 29-5 record and won two regular season championships. Aldridge earned his Bachelor of Arts degree in physical education and recreational fitness & health from Northern Kentucky University in 2007.

A LITTLE ABOUT THE MOCCASINS’ HISTORY

FLORIDA SOUTHERN’S COLORS Florida Southern’s red, white and blue uniforms are unique among college programs in the state of Florida but it wasn’t always that way. In the early days of Florida Southern basketball, the team was often known as the “Blue and White”, but in 1929 coach Jessie Burbage made a change in the Southern uniforms. The Lakeland Evening Ledger reported on January 13 of that year, “Coach Jess already has a “colorful” aggregation, as witness the dazzling splendor and bounteous beauty of the new red, white and blue uniforms issued to the Mocs last week. Those fetching garments are next year’s model of fashionable attire for the discriminating, and reveal Coach Burbage’s taste for things luxuriously sartorial.” As part of the uniforms, the Moccasins wore blue trunks with a single white stripe leading down from the waistband on either side.

WHY MOCCASINS? Florida Southern first used the nickname “Moccasins” or “Mocs” in 1926, shortly after the college’s

move to Lakeland in 1922. Prior to that, the football, baseball

and basketball teams were simply referred to as the

“Southerners” since the school was known as Southern College.

The water moccasin, or cottonmouth snake, was abundant in the nearby lakes and

since the moccasin is one of the fiercest of all snakes, the college adopted the moniker for its athletic teams. It survived an attempt in 1961 to have the nickname changed, but students voted overwhelmingly to keep it, and the moccasin has remained unchallenged ever since. A male water moccasin can grow up to 1.8 meters (74 inches) in length, and though its venom is considered relatively mild compared to the world’s other poisonous snakes, its bite is still extremely painful.

John McNamara was a 6-1 guard who transferred to Florida Southern from the University of Norwich (VT) in 1956-57. A two-time MVP for the Moccasins, McNamara was First Team All-Florida Intercollegiate Conference in 1958 and ‘59. With 514 points as a junior, McNamara became the first player in school history with 500 points in a season, he led the FIC in scoring as a senior, and at the time of his graduation was the Mocs’ career scoring leader with 1,336 points. McNamara was also the first player to score in double figures in every game during a season, doing so in all 25 games as a senior.

Bob Bowman is one of several two-time MVPs for the Mocs, but the only one with a year off in between. In 1965, the junior guard averaged 21.8 points per game, including games of 43 and 42 against Miami. After sitting out a year, Bowman returned in 1967, again averaged 21.8 points, and was All-Florida Intercollegiate Conference for the third time. He broke McNamara’s career scoring record with 1,773 points, which now ranks fourth. Bowman was inducted into the FSC Sports Hall of Fame in 2005, and also spent 20 years as head men’s basketball coach at Pasco-Hernando CC before retiring in 2011.

John Edwards is the Moccasins’ only three-time MVP (1974-76). A dominating 6-9 center, Edwards averaged 18.8 points and 14.6 rebounds as a sophomore; 20.3 points and 13.3 rebounds as a junior; and 20.2 points and a school-record 15.8 rebounds as a senior. He set another team record with 40 straight games scoring in double figures, and only one game kept that from being a 72-game streak. Edwards had 65 double-doubles in his career, including a school-record 20 in a row as a senior, was the NCAA Division II career leader in rebounds at the time of his graduation, and a 2005 inductee into the FSC Sports Hall of Fame.

Jerry Johnson was not only the team MVP and All-American point guard as a senior in 1988, he was the Frances Naismith Award winner, given annually to the best college basketball player in the country under 6-0. He’s the only non-Division I player to ever win that award. Johnson led the team in scoring with an 18.6 average, set a school record he still holds with 7.3 assists per game, and became the first and only player in team history with 100 steals in a season (101). He was a charter member of the FSC Sports Hall of Fame in 2002 and still holds career records for assists and steals.

Former Moccasin MVP is Now a Hall of Fame Coach In 2006, Ed Kershner was inducted into the Florida High School Athletic Hall of Fame for his accomplishment as a boys’ basketball coach. Kershner was the team MVP in 1962 as a junior guard, averaging 13.2 points and 4.4 rebounds per game. Kershner has since won over 700 games in his high school coaching career in his native Indiana and Florida. His 1983 Osceola High School team went 37-0 and was ranked #3 in the nation, and he was later named one of the top 10 Florida high school coaches of all time by the Orlando Sentinel.

Corey Tumer was a 3-time All-SSC selection as a guard in the late 1990’s. As a senior in 1999, he became the first Moccasin ever voted the SSC Player-of-the-Year, and he went on to be named the MVP of the SSC Tournament that year as well.

Rob Eldridge was First Team All-SSC in both 2008 and 2009, and was also the Mocs’ MVP in both of those seasons. The only other Moccasin to earn both awards in back-to-back seasons was John Ebeling in 1981 and ‘82.

In 1979, Lester Wright became just the third, as well as the last freshman to lead the team in scoring. In his only season with the Mocs, the 6-4 forward averaged 20.1 points per game and also became the only Moccasin freshman ever named First Team All-SSC.

George Scholz was head coach from 1982-90, and during those eight years, the Moccasins averaged nearly 24 wins per season, won five SSC regular season titles and six tournament titles. That helped him win SSC Coach-of-the-Year honors four times in his career.

After averaging 9.0 points per game during the regular season, Nick Railsback led the Moccasins to the 2001 SSC Tournament title with a 16.0 scoring average that earned him MVP honors. The senior guard scored 24 points in a 73-70 overtime win vs. Rollins in the semifinals when he hit seven 3-pointers, and had 14 points in the championship game vs. Barry.

Though he played only three seasons at Florida Southern, Fred Lapper was the first Moccasin with 1,000 career points. He broke that barrier on February 14, 1953 in a 65-60 loss at Troy State. Lapper was also the

first Moccasin with 30 points in a game when he scored 30 in a 58-54 win over Mississippi College in the first round of the 1951 Dixie Conference Tournament. He was All-Dixie Conference all three years, and was inducted into the Florida Southern Sports Hall of Fame in 2003. Simon Harper is the only player in school history to record over 1,000 points and 500 rebounds in just two seasons. The 6-4 forward played two years at Seminole Junior College in Orlando before coming to Florida Southern in 1970-71. He averaged 18.5 points per game in his career, the third best in school history, and also averaged 10.8 rebounds. He ranked second in the nation with a .689 field goal percentage in 1972, which is still a school record. Harper was inducted into the Florida Southern College Athletic Hall of Fame in 2007.

Michael Dean needed just two seasons to score 1,108 points. He played his first two years at another SSC school, St. Thomas University in Miami, and scored a total of 2,065 points in his college

career. He was the last Florida Southern player with back-to-back 500-point seasons, he averaged 18.5 points per game at Florida Southern, and set a school record in 1990 with a .477 percentage from 3-point range.

Brandon Jenkins (at left) is the only player in school history to score over 1,000 points, pull down over 500 rebounds, and hand out more than 500 assists in his career. He’s the only Moccasin guard with 500 career rebounds. He also led the nation in assist-to-turnover ratio as a senior in 2011, making him the most recent Moccasin to lead Division II in any statistical category.

FUN FACTS ABOUT FLORIDA SOUTHERN’S HEAD COACHES There have been two player‐coaches in Florida Southern history, with “Doc” Melton guiding the team to a 12‐7 record in 1932‐

33, and Johnny Woodall leading them to a 7‐5 mark the following year. Melton was the team’s only senior in 1933, and Woodall was also the Mocs’ leading scorer in his one year at the helm. Both were all‐conference players in the early Florida Intercollegiate Conference, a league that last just one season (1933).

William Battle had three stints as head coach, working around both the Great Depression and World War II. His 1942‐43 team won all six games it played, though complete results are unavailable. Battle retired from coaching in 1947, but agreed to stay on as the school’s athletic director.

Five assistant coaches have been promoted to head coach of the Moccasins, including JV coach Jim Lease, who took over the team for part of one season in 1952. Dick Morland, Jim Jarrett, Gordon Gibbons and Tony Longa were the others.

Tom Greene, who was Florida Southern’s longest serving coach, was the last with a military background. He served three years in the Pacific during World War II with the Marines.

Two former Moccasin head coaches (Hal Wissel and George Scholz) went on to become NBA assistants, and three (Dick Morland at Stetson, Jim Jarrett at Georgia State, and Wissel at UNC‐Charlotte) eventually became head coaches at the Division I level.

DID YOU KNOW? From 1923‐38, no one held the title of head basketball coach for more than two years, and some of them even doubled as football coaches before the school dropped the sport in 1935. Among those men were two player‐coaches and even the college president’s brother.

Shortly after Southern College moved to Lakeland in 1922, a basketball team was begun and the first coach on record was J.J. Alderman, the brother of college president Rhenus Alderman. He led the Southerners, as they were called, to a modest 4‐9 record over two years.

Coach Alderman opened each of his two seasons at the helm with wins over the Lake Wales American Legion. His other two wins were against the University of Florida. Alderman’s 2‐4 mark against the big school from Gainesville was especially impressive, considering the next ten Moccasin coaches were a combined 1‐14 against the Gators.

DID YOU KNOW ... ? The Moccasins joined the Sunshine State Conference as charter members for the 1975‐76 season but they have actually been a part of six different leagues since 1931. The first league the Mocs belonged to was the Palmetto Conference for the 1930‐31 season. They were joined by Miami, Stetson, Rollins, Howard (now Samford in Alabama) and Georgia State College (now Abraham‐Baldwin JC). In addition to one season in the Palmetto Conference, the Mocs also spent one year in the Lakeland City League (1935‐36), one in the Big 5 Conference (1940‐41), six in the Dixie Conference (1948‐54), and 14 in the Florida Intercollegiate Conference (1954‐68). There was also a forerunner of the FIC in 1932‐33. The Lakeland City League title was shared by Southern and Battery D, a team formed by the local National Guard; both had a league record of 9‐3. In addition to those two, the LCL also had squads put together by a local dairy (Sargeants’ Dairy) and a dry‐cleaning business (Bon‐Ton Cleaners). The four‐team league was formed by former Moccasin center Clifton Murrell, who was Lakeland High School’s basketball coach at the time. The teams played each other four times, with Southern and Battery D splitting their games head‐to‐head. They decided against a fifth “playoff game” and elected to share the league title.

Florida Southern has played games in 32 different states, including trips to Alaska and Hawaii. The Mocs have also visited Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands and the Bahamas for regular season games. They even played a regular season game in Canada once, playing the University of Toronto in 1964.

FLORIDA SOUTHERN’S FIRST POSTSEASON BID BEFORE THE NCAA TOURNAMENT One of the most memorable seasons in Florida Southern history came in 1949‐50 under head coach Dick Morland, and it resulted in the Moccasins’ first ever trip to a regional tournament. It was the second year of the Dixie Conference, a league that included future Division I schools Florida State and Mercer. The Mocs had an up‐and‐down season that saw them finish 14‐10 overall and 3‐5 in the conference. It earned them the #6 seed in the Dixie Conference Tournament played in Tallahassee. Despite going in as huge underdogs, the Mocs swept through the tournament, beating the #3, #2 and #1 seeds in succession. They did so largely behind the play of tournament MVP Basil “Rocky” Pegg. The junior guard, who had served in the Navy during World War II, averaged 16.0 points a game in the tournament, and scored 20 in the semi‐finals against Florida State, and 20 in the championship game against Mercer. He also snapped a 53‐53 tie in the opening round on a free throw with 15 seconds remaining to upset Howard (AL). By winning the Dixie Conference Tournament, the Moccasins earned an automatic bid to the NAIB District 25 Tournament, hosted by the University of Tampa. Originally, college administrators would not allow the team to participate, feeling it would interfere with Founders’ Day activities that were already planned. However, the team was allowed to go after a student protest on its behalf. It was a short stay though, as the Mocs lost to Georgia Teacher’s College (now Georgia Southern), 64‐50, in the opening round.

Florida Southern’s 1981 national championship team went 24-8, which included a 5-7 mark against Division I schools. The Moccasins won all five of their NCAA playoff games on the road that year, including a 73-71 win at Central Florida in the South Region title game. John Ebeling (#31) scored 40 points in that game, which is still the most ever scored by a Moccasin in the NCAA Tournament. He later had 29 points in the national championship game, a 73-68 win over Mount St. Mary’s.

MOCS DRAFTED AND SIGNED TO NBA CONTRACTSDespite playing only his senior year for the Mocs, Don Tobin was one of their all-time greats. A former starter at Duke University, Tobin transferred to Florida Southern for the 1956-57 season and set a school record at the time with a 19.5 scoring average. The 6-4 guard was also second on the team with a 9.2 rebounding average. Tobin set two school records that still stand today: most free throws in a game with 22 against Western Carolina, and most assists in a game with 18 against Tampa. He was honored as the Mocs’ first All-American in 1957.

Marshall Lester scored 1,159 points and had 720 rebounds in his Florida Southern career from 1975-78. He was an All-American as a senior, and a two-time All-SSC selection. He ranked fifth in career scoring at the time of his graduation.

Moccasins to Sign with NBA Teams Don Tobin Boston Celtics, 1957 (signed as a free agent) Marshall Lester Atlanta Hawks, 1978 (10th round, 192nd selection) John Ebeling Detroit Pistons, 1982 (5th round, 101st selection) Mark King Golden State Warriors, 1982 (8th round, 175th selection) Jerry Johnson Dallas Mavericks, 1988 (3rd round, 70th selection)

Rashaad Singleton New York Knicks, 2009 (signed as a free agent for

NBA Summer League)

Mark King (1980-82) played three years for Florida Southern after he transferred from Manatee CC. He was the Mocs’ top reserve on the 1981 National Championship Team, then averaged 19.3 points and 6.4 rebounds a game for the national runner-up team the following year. His 616 points that year rank seventh in team history.

John Ebeling has left his name all throughout the Florida Southern and conference record book. From 1979-82, he set school and SSC records with 2,514 points and 1,362 rebounds, led the Mocs to four conference titles, three regional titles, and the 1981 Division II National Championship.

The Moccasins’ last four-year starting point guard, Jerry Johnson (1985-88) was drafted higher than any other FSC basketball player. A 1988 All-American, he is still the only non-Division I player to win the Frances Naismith Award, given annually to the best college player under six feet tall. Johnson is still the Mocs’ all-time leader in assists and steals, and ranks sixth with 1,662 points.

Rashaad Singleton transferred from the University of Georgia in 2008, and left his mark at Florida Southern by setting a school record with 114 blocked shots in a season. The 7-0 senior center also averaged 6.1 points and 4.4 rebounds per game before heading to Las Vegas for the summer where he played for the New York Knicks in the NBA Summer League in 2009.

Did You Know? In 84 years of men’s basketball at Florida Southern, the Moccasins have never had a player record a triple‐double. Two have come very close, however. On February 1, 1978, in a 94‐78 win over Rollins, Marshall Lester scored 23 points, grabbed 17 rebounds, and set a school record with nine steals. Mark King had an even better shot in a game at Long Island University that went to double overtime on January 2, 1982. King finished that night with 25 points, 13 rebounds and nine assists.

Last year, Brandon Jenkins made another run at the elusive triple double when he had 17 points, 11 assists and eight rebounds in Florida Southern’s 94‐72 win over Ave Maria.

THE SUNSHINE STATE CONFERENCE

Founded in 1975, the Sunshine State Conference has risen from a single sport organization to the Division II “Conference of Champions”. Since its inception, the conference has grown steadily in sports played, membership and national prominence. Sunshine State Conference member schools have won recent NCAA national titles (76 total) in baseball,

men’s basketball, men’s and women’s golf, softball, men’s and women’s tennis, men’s and women’s soccer, and

women’s volleyball. The SSC is also nationally recognized in men’s and women’s cross country, women’s rowing and women’s basketball. The SSC sponsors championships in baseball, men’s and women’s basketball, men’s and women’s cross country, men’s and women’s golf, men’s and women’s soccer, men’s and women’s tennis, women’s volleyball, softball and women’s rowing. Last year saw the SSC add two more titles to the list when Nova Southeastern captured its third straight national championship in women’s golf, and Barry brought home the women’s tennis championship one year after its men won.

Did You Know? The Sunshine State Conference was originally founded as a basketball only league in 1975 and had six charter members. Eckerd, Florida Southern, Rollins, and Saint Leo were among that group, but the other two were Biscayne College (now known as St. Thomas University) and Florida Technological University (now known as the University of Central Florida). UCF left the SSC at the end of the 1983‐84 season and is now a Division I school playing in Conference USA. Biscayne left the SSC at the end of 1986‐87 and is now an NAIA school playing in the Florida Sun Conference.

The SSC has had one other member come and go in its 37‐year history, with North Florida joining the league in the summer of 1992, and leaving for the Peach Belt Conference in the summer of 1997. UNF has since moved to Division I status.

PRESEASON POLLS AND NATIONAL RANKINGS

NABC Division II Preseason Poll Defending national champion Bellarmine, which returns two All-Americans from a team that captured its first Division II title, begins 2011-12 as the #1 ranked team in the country. The Knights, who were preseason #4 last year, defeated BYU-Hawaii 71-68 in the championship game, and were a unanimous pick for the top spot in the poll. They were followed by two other teams from the 2011 Elite Eight, Alabama-Huntsville, and BYU-Hawaii. The Seasiders have three starters back from their national runner-up team, while the Chargers also have three, including a pair of All-Americans. To reach the national title game, Bellarmine defeated Minnesota State, a team that will play in Lakeland this year as part of Florida Southern’s Thanksgiving tournament. The Mavericks are unranked, however, after losing four starters.

*2011 Regional Champions

Sunshine State Conference Rollins College was picked to win the Sunshine State Conference title for the third year in a row in a vote of league coaches and sports information directors. The Tars have won the SSC Tournament the last two years, shared the regular season title with Florida Southern in 2010, and won it outright last year. Rollins received 13 of a possible 16 first-place votes (coaches and SIDs could not vote for their own team), with Eckerd picking up the rest of the first-place votes. Florida Southern was picked third. Together, those three schools have combined to win all but one SSC regular season title in the last nine years, and all but one SSC Tournament during that span.

1. Rollins (13) .............................. 183 pts. 2. Eckerd (5) ................................ 164 pts. 3. Florida Southern ................... 134 pts. 4. Florida Tech ............................ 128 pts. 5. Lynn ........................................... 99 pts. 6. Barry .......................................... 87 pts. 7. Nova Southeastern .................... 85 pts. 8. Tampa ....................................... 63 pts. 9. Saint Leo ................................... 29 pts.

Rollins has three starters and seven lettermen back from last year’s team, but the two starters who graduated were both All-SSC players, including 2-time SSC Player-of-the-Year Nick Wolf. Myk Brown and Ian Scott headline the veteran players for Rollins. Florida Southern lost its top four scorers from 2011, and every team in the SSC lost at least its #1 scorer. None of the 12 players who were All-SSC in 2011 are back this year.

Did You Know? None of last year’s top‐10 scoring leaders in the SSC are back this year, and only three of the top 20 are back. Florida Tech’s Anthony Jackson is the league’s top returning scorer after finishing 12

th

last year with 13.6 points per game. His teammate, Julius Reid, is the SSC’s second highest returning scorer. Jackson is also the only one of last year’s top‐10 rebounders who is back in 2012. The senior guard averaged 6.7 per game.

The last time Florida Southern lost its top four scorers from the previous season was in 2006‐07, when they lost their top five but did return Braxton Williams, who had redshirted the previous year but been among the top four in 2005. Otherwise, the last time it happened was in 1991‐92, a year the Mocs still won 20 games.

Field House

57


GEORGE W. JENKINS FIELD HOUSE

Florida Southern’s spacious field house named for George W. Jenkins, opened its doors in December of 1965, allowing Moccasin basketball to reach new heights. It was designed by Nils Schweizer Associates of Winter Park and built at the cost of just over $500,000. Since Schweizer had worked under Frank Lloyd Wright when the master architect had originally designed many of the buildings on campus, it was felt he would design a gym that would blend in well with the rest of the college. Jenkins Field House has a main floor encompassing three basketball courts and seating is available for approximately 1,800 fans. A basement section measuring 126 by 110 feet houses locker rooms, training room, equipment room, physical education offices and storage areas. Recent additions have included a conference room, additional women’s locker rooms and athletic offices. New bleachers with individual seats for 612 spectators were installed in the fall of 2011. The George W. Jenkins Field House is one of the largest buildings on the Florida Southern College campus, measuring 40,000 square feet. The structure utilized the steel framework of three B-47 bomber hangars from the nearby MacDill Air Force Base, located in Tampa, Florida. The spacious field house has allowed Florida Southern to be the site of numerous NCAA postseason tournaments, and in 1983, it served as the site for the NCAA Women’s Volleyball National Championship. Jenkins Field House has also hosted the Sunshine State Conference Men’s Basketball Tournament eight times, most recently in 2003, and will do so again in 2012. The members of the College’s Board of Trustees unanimously voted to name the field house for George Jenkins, president of Publix Super Markets, Inc. in appreciation of his generous support of the College, both as a benefactor and a friend. Mr. Jenkins’ union with the College started in 1956 when he served as honorary chancellor of Florida Southern, an honor reserved for prominent men and women in various walks of life. In 1957, the College awarded him an honorary degree of Doctor of Laws, citing him as one of Lakeland’s outstanding citizens and as “a leader of Florida in the support of humanitarian causes, of education and of community progress.”

The Moccasins in Jenkins Field House Since moving into their current home in December of 1965, the Moccasins have had one of the best home court records in all of NCAA Division II. Over the last 45 years, Florida Southern is 631-169 at home for a .789 winning percentage. That includes a record of 64-7 record since 2007-08. The Moccasins played their first game in their new home on December 3, 1965, and defeated Rollins College 89-59 in the first game of that year’s Citrus Invitational. George Jenkins himself was on hand for the honorary first tip between the Mocs’ Dan Doherty and the Tars’ Millard Nixon. The building was so new the Mocs had never set foot on the court prior to warming up that night for their game against Rollins. Since the permanent bleachers had yet to arrive, the college borrowed temporary bleachers from

the Lakeland Parks and Recreation Department, and only had about 1,200 seats available for the first game. Attendance was announced at 1,600. Florida Southern would win its first six games in Jenkins Field House and finished 13-4 at home that year. Only twice since Jenkins Field House has opened have they had a losing record at home and not once in the last 41 years. At one point from 1998-2000, the Mocs won 32 consecutive games on their home court. Jenkins Field House has also served as the host site for several NCAA Regional and National Tournaments, including nine South Region Men’s Basketball Tournaments. It also served as a practice facility for the Division II Men’s Basketball Elite Eight in 2003.

Annie Pfeiffer Chapel, completed in 1941, was the first of Wright's designs at Florida Southern College.

Florida Southern is hometo the world’s only FrankLloyd Wright-designedplanetarium.

Florida Southern College Frank Lloyd Wright's "Child of the Sun"

Founded by the United Methodist Church, Florida Southern College is one of the oldest private colleges in the state, tracing its beginnings to a small seminary in Orlando in 1885. The tie to its founding church has remained constant and is today, a proud part of the College's heritage and a bright beacon for the future. Florida Southern moved to Lakeland in the heart of Florida's citrus belt in 1922 and began the construction of a campus that would eventually become a national landmark. The beautiful 100-acre campus, on the north shore of Lake Hollingsworth, includes the world's largest collection of buildings by master architect Frank Lloyd Wright. Florida Southern’s West Campus, now known throughout the world, actually had its inception in the mind of Dr. Ludd M. Spivey, president of the college from 1925-1957.

In 1935 he conceived the idea of an ultra-modern campus, designed by the world's leading architect. Ground was broken two years later for the first building in the Wright collection, the Annie Pfeiffer Chapel. What Frank Lloyd Wright created on the campus is amazing. His original work is still as modern and exciting as the newest buildings still on many architect's drawing boards. It is, perhaps, symbolic that the greatest concentration of his genius should be located at a small, private institution of higher learning. Perhaps he describes it best, "...out of the ground and into the light, a child of the sun...the college of tomorrow."

The Thad Buckner Building is home to the FrankLloyd Wright “Child of the Sun” Visitor Center.

The Danforth Chapel is one of two chapels on campus designed by Frank Lloyd Wright.

The Nina B. Hollis Wellness Center houses a full-sized basketball court, weight and aerobic rooms,and a student lounge and is adjacent to an NCAAregulation size swimming pool.

Frank Lloyd Wright often visitedFlorida Southern during his 20-year relationship with the college.

A grouping of three residence halls, thePublix Commons are close to just abouteverything on the Florida Southerncampus. All three buildings offer suite-style living in which six students each havetheir own rooms and share a living areaand bathroom. The Publix Commons alsois home to Florida Southern’s Greekorganizations.

Florida Southern’s recently renovated Water Dome, designed byFrank Lloyd Wright, made its premiere performance on October25, 2007. The Water Dome features 74 jets powering streams ofwater 45-feet into the air. It took almost 260,000 gallons of waterto fill the basin of the dome and at full power 4,800 gallons arewater are pumped per minute.

All of Florida Southern College’sresidence halls offer wireless accessin the common lobby areas and everyroom offers cable TV and is wired for internet access. In addition, wirelesshotspots on campus include the RouxLibrary, TûTû’s Cyber Cafe (whichoffers Starbucks products), Wynee’sBistro (our cafeteria), and the Nina B.Hollis Wellness Center and pool area.

As one of the four original buildings on the FSC campus, Joseph-Reynolds Hall (“JR”) offers one of the best views on campus. It sits atop a hill overlooking Lake Hollingsworth. Community life is big here - the women of JR form groups within the building as a whole and also within the “wings” and smaller hallways. JR and its companion hall, Spivey, are located in the center of campus between Edge Hall and Ordway and serve mainly as first-year female residence halls.

Wesley Hall is one of two new twin residence halls at FSC, and opened in the fall of 2008. The second building, Nicholas Hall,opened in the fall of 2009. Each new residence hall includes 115 bedrooms with views of Lake Hollingsworth, meetingrooms, student lounges, kitchens, and study spaces.

FLORIDA SOUTHERN SECOND ON BOTH

SIDES OF THE MAYORS’ CUP

The Mayors’ Cup recognizes competition in seven sports for men (soccer, cross country, basketball, swimming, golf, tennis and baseball), and nine sports for women (soccer, cross country, basketball, swimming golf, tennis volleyball, softball and rowing). Points in each sport are awarded by the number of schools sponsoring teams in the respective sports. Last year saw Florida Southern win the women’s Mayors’ Cup for the 11th time, largely on the strength of its SSC title in basketball, and 2nd-place finishes in volleyball, swimming and golf. Florida Southern has also won the men’s Mayors’ Cup 11 times, and nearly added to that total last year. The Mocs finished second to Barry by half a point.
