One’s first impression may be of size and distance—broad valleys rimmed by mountain ranges, with a huge sky arching over all. However, a closer look reveals that, beneath the broad brush strokes, this is a land of astonishing variety. For example, it is comprised of several kinds of desert, year-round flowing streams, and sky island mountain ranges.

  • Tucson's Movers and Shakers
    TUCSON’S MOVERS AND SHAKERS Sports Tucson’s movers and shakers in sports include the dean of UA coaches and sports administrators, and UA coaches for basketball, swimming and softball. James Fred “Pop” McKale was athletic director of UA from 1915-1957 and coached football, basketball, and baseball. Lute Olson was head coach of UA basketball for 25 years and led Arizona to four NCAA Final Four appearances and a National Championship in 1997. UA swim coach Frank Busch’s swimmers won 49 NCAA individual titles, 31 NCAA relay titles, and both the men’s and women’s NCAA team championships in 2008. Mike Candrea, as UA women’s softball coach, has led his teams to eight NCAA Women’s College World Series titles. James Fred McKale (1887-1967) was born in Lansing, Michigan, graduated from high school there, earned a B.A. degree in chemistry and history at Albion College in 1910, taught history and coached at Tucson High from 1911 to 1914, “when by popular acclaim,” he joined the UA faculty. McKale was appointed Athletic Director in 1915, and according to the Pima County Sports hall of fame, “He coached every major sport and made Arizona’s athletic program the finest in the Southwest, leading teams in football for 17 years and in baseball for 35 years.” Tradition says that McKale is responsible for UA’s long-standing nickname and its most recognizable slogan. In 1914, after a particularly hard-fought football game, McKale began to call his teams “wildcats.” And in 1926, a star football player’s dying words to coach McKale following an automobile accident were supposedly, “tell the team to bear down.” McKale acquired a nickname himself when former students and athletes stopped by following their return from World War II to chat with “Pop” McKale.
