  • 2008 History.Indd
    SPARTAN BASKETBALL HISTORY AND TRADITION 1979 NCAA CHAMPIONS The 1978-79 season was truly a magical one for Coach Jud Heathcote and his Michigan State Spartans. Blending a perfect combination of individual ability, enthu- siasm and teamwork, Heathcote formed a cohesive unit that captivated the nation and sellout crowds at Jenison Field House. The Spartans compiled a 26-6 overall record and went 13-5 in the Big Ten to share the league crown with Purdue and Iowa. State steamrolled through the NCAA Tournament, ending the season on top of the college basketball world with a 75-64 victory over Larry Bird and unbeaten Indi- ana State. The 1978-79 squad gathered at Jenison Field House on Aug. 12, 1989, to play one more game against a team of former Spartan All-Stars. On a hot, sweltering night, the National Champi- onship squad, led by Earvin Johnson’s 25 points and 17 rebounds, topped the All-Stars, 95-93, before a sellout crowd of 10,004. 126 MICHIGAN STATE MEN’S BASKETBALL 2000 NCAA CHAMPIONS Tom Izzo repeatedly talked to his team about leaving its mark on the program. The 1999-2000 Spartans did more than leave their mark; they set the standard by which all future Michigan State teams would be measured. Part of being a champion is winning titles, which the Spartans accomplished in winning the Na- tional Championship, a third straight Big Ten Championship and a second consecutive Big Ten Tourna- ment title. Michigan State’s three consecutive conference crowns marked only the eighth time in league history that a team has won three straight titles.

  • Todd Franklin-Vincennes Release
    SIC HEAD MEN’S BASKETBALL COACH TODD FRANKLIN ACCEPTS TOP JOB AT VINCENNES After leading the 2009-10 Falcons to their fourth NJCAA national tournament appearance in the past eight seasons, Southeastern Illinois College men’s basketball coach Todd Franklin has accepted the head coaching position at Vincennes University. Franklin submitted his letter of resignation this week, effective August 22. “This is really the only junior college job I would make this move for,” Franklin said. “Basically, it’s the Kentucky or North Carolina of JUCO basketball: third all-time in wins, right there at the top in terms of facilities, tradition, resources…and it’s close to home, still in the same recruiting base that I’ve known here at Southeastern.” The Vincennes men’s basketball program won national championships in 1965, 1970, and 1972, with dozens of NJCAA all-Americans in their record books. Current NBA players Carl Landry and Shawn Marion attended Vincennes, as well as NBA Hall-of Famer Bob McAdoo. Franklin built an impressive resume, leading Southeastern Illinois College into the national spotlight as regular contenders for the national title. Franklin’s first NJCAA national tournament appearance was in the 2002-2003 season, and repeat trips followed in 2003-2004, 2007-2008 and 2009-2010. Franklin achieved his 300 th win in January 2009 in a game against John A. Logan College in Carterville. His record at the end of 13 years with Southeastern stands at 329-97. His coaching awards include: six Great Rivers Athletic Conference awards, six Region 24 awards, five district awards and five state junior college awards.
