One of the most respected coaches in the country and a nation - O al champion was coming to Gold Country to lead the Gopher program. The excitement of bringing one of the top coaches in the country to the University of Minnesota was only matched by the satisfaction of welcoming one of the classiest individuals in the world of college basketball today to the Maroon and Gold. In his first season at the “U”, Smith took a team that had won nine games the season before to a 20-14 record. The Gophers finished sixth in the Big Ten Conference at 8-10 and were the sixth seed in the Big Ten Tournament. The 11-game improvement in the win column from the 2006-07 season is the largest season turn - around in school history and tied for the second-best turnaround in Division I in 2007-08. Also, the five-win improvement in conference play was the second biggest Big Ten turnaround in 2007-08. Smith came to Minnesota with a reputation for winning at the highest level not matched by many coaches in the country. In his 17-year career, he has claimed a National Title (Kentucky in 1997-98), made four “Elite Eight appearances”, nine “Sweet Sixteen” appearances, posted 15 straight 20-win seasons and has the 12th-best active winning percentage of any coach at the Division I level with a 407-159 record (.719).

  • 1 Converse V. Everybody
    Converse v. Everybody: How Would This Litigation Change or Remain in Foreign Jurisdictions? I. Introduction Baseball, apple pie and July fourth barbecues. Since the turn of the century, these past times have been staples of American culture. The same can be said for the Converse All- Star “Chuck Taylor” basketball shoe. No sneaker embodies the rebellious American spirit like the Chuck Taylor All-Star.1 It was in 1908 when the Converse Rubber Corporation opened its doors, initially starting out as a galosh-producing shoe company. 2 But with the popularity of basketball on the rise, the Converse Corporation felt the need to develop a shoe that people could wear while playing basketball. 3 After extensive amounts of research and development, the All-Star became the first mass- produced basketball shoe in North America. 4 Due in part to its very thick rubber sole and an ankle-covering canvas, the All- Star was slow to embrace the feet of the American people. 5 However, this trend would not endure. Charles H. Taylor was a basketball player for the Akron Firestones. 6 He believed in the All-Star so much that in 1921 he joined the Converse sales force, and later became the player/coach 7 for the Converse All-Stars, the company’s industrial league basketball team. 8 Because Taylor was so successful in promoting the All-Star, as well as in making 1 important changes to the shoe design, his name “Chuck Taylor” was added to the ankle patch. 9 Soon thereafter, basketball teams and American children were wearing Converse “Chuck Taylor” All- Stars.10 After World War II, the classic black and white Chuck Taylor All-Star was introduced in 1949.

  • Relevant Swiss Laws
    RELEVANT SWISS LAWS 9 Three similar criminal cases involving college basketball are currently progressing through the Southern District of New York. The first to go to trial, United States v. James Gatto, Merl Code, and Christian Dawkins, No. 17 Crim. 686, culminated in a guilty verdict on October 24, 2018, with all three defendants found guilty on charges of wire fraud and conspiracy to commit wire fraud. The United States Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York alleged that the Gatto defendants participated in a scheme in which the defendants—former Adidas employees Gatto and Code, as well as aspiring sports agent Dawkins—made payments to the families of college-bound athletes in exchange for the athletes’ agreement to play basketball at universities with teams sponsored by Adidas. 1 Prosecutors characterized this conduct as a criminal conspiracy, rather than a mutually beneficial business transaction, because the payments violated the amateurism policy of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (“NCAA”), the private organization that regulates college athletics at member institutions. NCAA regulations provide that athletes lose their eligibility to participate in NCAA sports if they receive payment for their athletic skills, and the NCAA imposes sanctions on universities for noncompliance by their athletes. The NCAA also requires that both student-athletes and coaches submit to their schools annual certifications of compliance with NCAA rules.2 Trials of two other groups of defendants were previously scheduled for later this year. In both cases, the charges involve schemes wherein student-athletes received payments in violation of the NCAA’s amateurism rules.
