Lumumba Shabazz • Head Coach [email protected] 269.615.5682

Lumumba Shabazz was formally introduced as Kalamazoo College’s Head Men’s Soccer Coach on April 9, 2012.

A native of Trinidad and Tobago, Shabazz brought over 25 years of international soccer experience to Kalamazoo College. Prior to entering the coaching profession, Shabazz enjoyed a twenty-year amateur, collegiate and professional playing career with teams in Germany, the USA, and the Caribbean.

Shabazz took the Hornets to the MIAA conference tournament in each of his first four seasons. His most succesful season came in 2014, finishing 12-6-3 overall.

“I am excited about joining the Kalamazoo College community because the academic mission of the college and its quest for excel- lence in the classroom and in the athletic arena really appealed to me,” Shabazz said at the time of his hire. “The prestigious academics, along with the articulated vision for Kalamazoo College men’s soccer were both huge draws for me. In addition, the intimate, personal nature of the campus and the supportive camaraderie that I’ve already experienced made me feel that this college would be the perfect fit. I look forward to contributing to the further success of Kalamazoo College, both in the classroom and on the soccer field, as well as the challenge of taking Kalamazoo College men’s soccer back to a position of prominence within the MIAA and NCAA.”

Along with his position at Kalamazoo College, Shabazz was the Kalamazoo FC head coach in 2016 and 2017. A member of the Na- tional Premier Soccer League, the fourth-tier of US Soccer, Kalamazoo FC competes with the likes of Detroit City FC, , AFC Ann Arbor, Grand Rapids FC and the Michigan Stars FC along with others in the Midwest Region.

Shabazz came to Kalamazoo College from Ann Arbor (Mich.) Pioneer High School where he coached the past six seasons. After enter- ing the program as junior varsity boys and freshmen girls coach, Shabazz took over both varsity programs in 2008. Shabazz amassed a combined record of 68-33-20 with three district championships, two District Coach of the Year awards, one Washtenaw County Coach of the Year award, and finished his career by advancing both teams to the final eight of MHSAA Division 1 soccer tournament, the joint highest-ever finish in school history.

Shabazz’s 14 years of coaching experience prior to Kalamazoo includes stops at the club, high school, and collegiate levels in New York, Miami and Michigan. He previously coached at G. Holmes Braddock High in Miami, Fla. where the team won numerous sports- manship and fair play awards while consistently challenging for league, district, and state titles. During his time at Braddock, Shabazz

® 2017 MEN’S SOCCER 3 COACHING STAFF graduated several top players to the collegiate and professional ranks, including star forward Juan Gonzalez of Real Cartagena in the Colombian First Division, Pedro Power, formerly of Miami FC and current Venezuelan international midfielder and former Conference USA collegiate player of the year, Juan Guerra.

Shabazz was also a U.S. Region II staff coach where he supervised teams and players within the Olympic Development Program for possible selection to the U.S. national teams.

Additionally, Shabazz served as the assistant collegiate coach at Pratt Institute (N.Y.) for two seasons in both the men’s and women’s programs under Head Coach Ian Williams.

Coach Shabazz currently holds the USSF A license, the prestigious (USSF) National Youth license, the NSCAA Premier Diploma, NSCAA National Goalkeeper Instructor Diploma, in addition to several coaching certificates on Fitness, Speed and Agility and Soccer Camp administration from the English FA. A few years ago, he was awarded the prestigious SAQ Advanced International license from Alan Pearson, the world’s foremost authority on Speed and Agility for elite soccer performance, who pioneered SAQ programs for Arsenal FC, Tottenham FC and Bayern Munich FC, amongst many others. In doing so, Coach Shabazz has become only the fourth such recipient of this award in the United States and has developed an excellent national reputation for position specific training that integrates the physical, technical-tactical and psychological components. In addition, Coach Shabazz holds the prestigious, Rene Meu- lensteen Skills trainer certification and also holds the NSCAA Director of Coaching diploma.

In a further bid to continue his commitment to professional coaching development, Coach Shabazz completed a two week internship in both 2008 and 2009 at West Ham United in London under the tutelage and watchful eye of legendary master coach, Professor Tony Carr, studying the latest trends in technique and tactics, player development and applied sports science. West Ham United is one of the most prestigious professional soccer clubs in the world, and their Youth Academy, where Coach Shabazz spent most of his time, is world renowned for developing superstars like Rio Ferdinand, Michael Carrick, Joe Cole, Glen Johnson, Frank Lampard and Jermain Defoe.

In addition, in March 2010, Coach Shabazz travelled to Madrid, Spain for an extended coaching study visit with Real Madrid FC, Getafe FC, Atletico Madrid FC, and was a featured guest of the Spanish Football Federation, where he took part in lectures, seminars and field sessions around the topic of youth and professional development with many of Spain’s top coaches. In March 2011, Coach Shabazz traveled to Brazil with US Soccer as part of a contingent of coaches who studied the Brazilian approach to soccer and player development at Flamengo, Botafogo, Fluminese and Vasco da Gama football clubs.

More recently, Coach Shabazz has become an ardent student of the Periodization approach to soccer conditioning as pioneered by the world renowned Dutch coach, Raymond Verheijen and the World Football Academy. In June, 2015, he spent a week in Barcelona under Raymond’s mentorship studying the latest in soccer training, tactics, leadership and management, as well as having the oppor- tunity to observe and hear from the best coaches at Barcelona FC. In June 2016, Coach Shabazz was again selected to be amongst 50 coaches worldwide to study and then prepare the U19 team for competitive play in , Netherlands. In his time on the sidelines, he had the opportunity to learn from master coaches like Pim Verbeek, and , amongst many others. In this respect, Coach Shabazz’s educational efforts best exemplifies the values of continued growth and excellence that is demanded of every student and student-athlete at Kalamazoo College.

In all, Coach Shabazz brings a great deal of knowledge and practical experience to Kalamazoo College and relishes the opportunity to help the Hornets once again challenge for MIAA conference and national NCAA Division III honors.

® 2017 MEN’S SOCCER 9 NCAA STATEMENT KALAMAZOO COLLEGE STATEMENT ON NCAA INFRACTIONS

On March 22, 2016, the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) announced Kalamazoo College had three major violations involving the awarding of financial aid, recruitment practices and failure to monitor NCAA financial aid regulations. The NCAA found there was no intent by Kalamazoo College to circumvent NCAA rules.

The NCAA placed K on probation for a period of three years and placed a ban on postseason competition, including conference tournaments; regular season conference championship consideration; and NCAA championship opportunities, for any team whose roster contains one or more student-athletes who received financial aid impermissible according to NCAA rules. As of March 2016, all Hornet Athletics teams have at least one student-athlete who receives this type of financial aid.

The College appealed the ban on postseason play and the ban on regular season conference championship consideration. According to the NCAA process, the postseason ban will be held in abeyance until the appeal process is completed.

The NCAA will allow K to repackage the impermissible financial aid to maintain postseason play and championship consideration.

As soon as K concluded NCAA infractions occurred, the College immediately corrected the process that led to the awarding of imper- missible financial aid. Therefore, for students entering in the fall of 2015 and thereafter, the financial aid awards are compliant with NCAA regulations.

In the admission process, Kalamazoo College considers a variety of indicators in addition to grades, including a broad assessment of extracurricular activities such as community service, student government, music and athletics. This admission process does not violate NCAA regulations. The awarding of financial aid violation occurred when extracurricular athletics activities included in the admission process also informed the financial aid process. NCAA rules prohibit the inclusion of athletic extracurricular activity in financial aid consideration.

“The College’s admission process and financial aid policy place value on a holistic view of prospective students. Our intent was to treat all students—the musicians, the artists, the student leaders, the athletes—fairly,” said Provost Mickey McDonald. “The College made a mistake by failing to remove athletic participation in financial aid consideration,­ a process which is not in alignment with NCAA rules.”

The recruiting violation occurred when the coach, who was new to the College at the time, incorrectly suggested to some prospective students that he could influence the financial aid process. As soon as the College became aware of the misrepresentation, it reported it to the NCAA and provided training for all K coaches.

The third major violation relates to not having had in place appropriate policies and procedures and training for staff regarding NCAA financial aid rules.

Since the investigation began in June 2014, Kalamazoo College has instituted the following changes:

• Ceased including extracurricular activities of any kind when considering the amount of financial aid offered students • Clarified the NCAA compliance responsibilities within athletics, provided training to those with these responsibilities, and re- structured staffing to meet compliance responsibilities • Provided ongoing, annual training for athletics, admission and financial aid staff • Hired a consultant to conduct a compliance audit and to make additional recommendations

“All of the NCAA concerns have been corrected. Kalamazoo College is committed to complying with NCAA rules and regulations,” said McDonald. “We will continue to educate and train our staff and monitor our financial aid programs and recruiting practices so we can best serve our student-athletes and to provide the best athletic program we can.”

The NCAA released a Public Infractions Report on March 22. The report is available online at NCAA.org.
