  • Vipers' Head Coach Resigns Meet
    Vipers’ Head Coach Resigns Larry Brown resigns from his position due to medical issues Florence, SC – February 12, 2014 – The Pee Dee Vipers’ Head Coach, Larry Brown, has resigned from his position as a consequence of medical concerns and precautions. Brown and the Vipers took into consideration the long-term health of Brown and productivity of the team when making this decision. Brown does not feel that he can adequately provide the Vipers with the standard of coaching he is accustom to contributing and focus on improving his health at the same time. The entire Vipers Organization backs Brown in his decision and will continue to support him during his journey to good health. Andre Bovain has been named Head Coach. Bovain served as the Vipers’ Assistant Coach under Brown. NBA legend and Columbia, SC native, Xavier McDaniel will be one of the Vipers’ assistant coaches. Bryan Hergenroether will also join the Vipers’ coaching staff. The Vipers’ new coaching staff will leave much of what Brown has developed in place; plays and structure will be similar. Brown and Bovain worked closely to ensure that the coaching transition will be smooth and not dramatically impact the team’s winning style of play. Xavier McDaniel: • Played in college at Wichita State (1981-1985) • 4th overall in the 1985 NBA draft to the Seattle SuperSonics • Played 14 seasons in the NBA (1985-1998) • NBA All-Rookie First Team in 1986 • NBA All-Star in 1988 • Career Stats (NBA): Points – 13,606; Rebounds – 5,313; Assists – 1,775 • Played against names such as Magic Johnson,

  • Renormalizing Individual Performance Metrics for Cultural Heritage Management of Sports Records
    Renormalizing individual performance metrics for cultural heritage management of sports records Alexander M. Petersen1 and Orion Penner2 1Management of Complex Systems Department, Ernest and Julio Gallo Management Program, School of Engineering, University of California, Merced, CA 95343 2Chair of Innovation and Intellectual Property Policy, College of Management of Technology, Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne, Lausanne, Switzerland. (Dated: April 21, 2020) Individual performance metrics are commonly used to compare players from different eras. However, such cross-era comparison is often biased due to significant changes in success factors underlying player achievement rates (e.g. performance enhancing drugs and modern training regimens). Such historical comparison is more than fodder for casual discussion among sports fans, as it is also an issue of critical importance to the multi- billion dollar professional sport industry and the institutions (e.g. Hall of Fame) charged with preserving sports history and the legacy of outstanding players and achievements. To address this cultural heritage management issue, we report an objective statistical method for renormalizing career achievement metrics, one that is par- ticularly tailored for common seasonal performance metrics, which are often aggregated into summary career metrics – despite the fact that many player careers span different eras. Remarkably, we find that the method applied to comprehensive Major League Baseball and National Basketball Association player data preserves the overall functional form of the distribution of career achievement, both at the season and career level. As such, subsequent re-ranking of the top-50 all-time records in MLB and the NBA using renormalized metrics indicates reordering at the local rank level, as opposed to bulk reordering by era.

  • Downtrodden Yet Determined: Exploring the History Of
    DOWNTRODDEN YET DETERMINED: EXPLORING THE HISTORY OF BLACK MALES IN PROFESSIONAL BASKETBALL AND HOW THE PLAYERS ASSOCIATION ADDRESSES THEIR WELFARE A Dissertation by JUSTIN RYAN GARNER Submitted to the Office of Graduate and Professional Studies of Texas A&M University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Chair of Committee, John N. Singer Committee Members, Natasha Brison Paul J. Batista Tommy J. Curry Head of Department, Melinda Sheffield-Moore May 2019 Major Subject: Kinesiology Copyright 2019 Justin R. Garner ABSTRACT Professional athletes are paid for their labor and it is often believed they have a weaker argument of exploitation. However, labor disputes in professional sports suggest athletes do not always receive fair compensation for their contributions to league and team success. Any professional athlete, regardless of their race, may claim to endure unjust wages relative to their fellow athlete peers, yet Black professional athletes’ history of exploitation inspires greater concerns. The purpose of this study was twofold: 1) to explore and trace the historical development of basketball in the United States (US) and the critical role Black males played in its growth and commercial development, and 2) to illuminate the perspectives and experiences of Black male professional basketball players concerning the role the National Basketball Players Association (NBPA) and National Basketball Retired Players Association (NBRPA), collectively considered as the Players Association for this study, played in their welfare and addressing issues of exploitation. While drawing from the conceptual framework of anti-colonial thought, an exploratory case study was employed in which in-depth interviews were conducted with a list of Black male professional basketball players who are members of the Players Association.

  • Michael Jordan and the Last Dance: a Contemplative Observation
    Michael Jordan and The Last Dance: a contemplative observation photo Netflix Introduction Media and sports enthusiasts are once again captivated by basketball legend Michael Jordan now that the ten-part docus series "The Last Dance" has been released on Netflix. The fortunes of the Chicago Bulls around stars such as Scottie Pippen, Steve Kerr, Dennis Rodman, Michael Jordan and coach Phil Jackson are made public with previously unseen behind-the-scenes footage. It provides exciting television. Because of the beautiful actions on the field, but also from the dynamics within the team and management. Reason for us to take a closer look at both the person and the player Michael Jordan. We do this based on observations and our view of actions, motivational drivers and action preferences in sports. The greatness of Jordan brings with it the pitfalls of Be Like Him and One Size Fits All and we would like to unravel that. Movement and preferences as a starting point With the ActionTypes approach, we initially look at motor preferences. People move in their own typical way. There is always a purpose, an intention. In other words, movement can be understood as a continuous interaction between cognitive, perception and motor processes. Think of it as solving problems in a particular context or environment. The insights that arise from this do not only say something about what the athlete needs for his expression on the field in movement preference, technique training and physical support. They also have a connection with the individual cognitive and emotional. So how you effectively communicate with the athlete, coach him and shape him in movement.

  • Senate Chair Remarks Cheryl Cooky, Ph.D. April 20, 2020 Good
    Senate Chair Remarks Cheryl Cooky, Ph.D. April 20, 2020 Good afternoon. I hope everyone is doing well, or as well as can be expected given the unprecedented times we are in. I feel like I have finally grown accustomed to the ‘new normal’ of remote learning, Zoom meetings, social distancing, and shelter-at-home. I never envisioned delivering my final Senate remarks from my kitchen on Zoom, however most of us probably never envisioned the times we are in. During times of crisis, I find that there is a clarity that is only achieved when the fog of the everyday grind is lifted, and the reality of our mortality is brought into focus. It makes one realize what matters in life and what doesn’t, what is important and what is trivial. In these times, things that would typically be bothersome, perhaps sitting in traffic or getting cut off while waiting in line, seem relatively insignificant. We just do not have the energy or capacity to worry about the trivial every-day annoyances we might encounter. Instead, our energies are focused on what truly matters… and what truly matters is brought to bear in vivid and visceral ways. As I reflect back on this past year serving as Senate Chair, what truly matters has been brought into sharp focus. As you all know, I have been guided by a philosophy of leadership defined by collaboration and collective goals. I am pleased to say this past year we have continued to build trust and improve connections with the administration. I have seen firsthand the benefits of having a seat at the table and having our voices heard.
