Men’s Basketball Office Phone 323-343-3090 2009-10 Cal State L.A. Golden Eagles Men’s Basketball 2 COA C H THOMPSON After guiding the team through an injury-plagued 2008-09 season that came on the heels of a breakthrough campaign in 2007-08, Stephen Thompson enters his fifth season as head coach and eighth season overall with the Cal State L.A. men’s basketball program. Coming off their most successful season in eight years, the Golden Eagles appeared to have turned the corner after a slow start in 2008-09 and had a 10-7 overall record and 5-5 mark in conference play. A season-ending injury to leading scorer Chris Fields, though, and nagging injuries to a handful of other key players led to a 2-8 record down the stretch. Thompson kept the Golden Eagles in the battle for a spot in the California Collegiate Athletic Association Championship Tournament and Cal State L.A. posted a big road win at defending conference champion Humboldt State on the final weekend of the Stephen Thompson season. A loss at Sonoma State, though, on the last day of the campaign ended the Golden Eagles’ postseason hopes. Head Coach Cal State L.A. finished its season with a 12-15 overall record and a 7-13 conference mark. The Golden Eagles were 2-8 in games without Fields and 10-7 with him. Despite missing 10 games, Fields was named to the All-CCAA second team. The injury-plagued year was a disappointing follow-up to an outstanding 2007-08 season. The Golden Eagles posted a 17-11 overall record and finished in a tie for third in the CCAA. Cal State L.A. qualified for the CCAA Championship Tournament as a No. 3 seed and hosted a first-round game. The Golden Eagles finished the season ranked ninth in the NCAA Division II West Region and made their first appearance in a regional poll since 2000. The 17 wins were the most for the Golden Eagles since the 1999-2000 season and the third-place finish in the conference was the best since a second-place finish in 2000. Thompson was able to lead the Golden Eagles to their best season in eight years despite losing two of the team’s top three scorers – one after just eight games and the other after 14 contests. Vincent Camper earned All-CCAA and All-West Region honors and led a trio of Golden Eagles who notched a conference-high five CCAA Player of the Week awards. Thompson became the head coach of the program in March of 2005 following the retirement of former head coach Dave Yanai. In his first three years as the Cal State L.A. head coach, Thompson has led the team to an overall record of 37-45. Under Thompson’s leadership, the Golden Eagles have seen their offensive productivity jump from 59.4 points per game in 2005 to 76.3 points per game last season. The Golden Eagles also saw a big improvement in their defensive performance and allowed five fewer points per game last year than they had the previous season. The Golden Eagles were 10-17 in 2006-07 in a season that included wins over CCAA champion Humboldt State (94-85) and Division-1 bound Cal State Bakersfield (70-63). Cal State L.A. also had its first All-American since 2003 when leading scorer Jontae Vinson earned honorable mention recognition. Vinson also became the first Golden Eagle to earn first-team All-Region honors since 2003 and the Golden Eagles placed two players on the All-CCAA teams for the first time since 2002. In Thompson’s first season as head coach, the Golden Eagles took a big jump, improving nine games overall and becoming one of the most improved programs in the NCAA Division II. The Golden Eagles swept local rival Cal State Dominguez Hills and posted a big win over Cal State Bakersfield to highlight a 10-17 season. Thompson joined Cal State L.A. as an assistant coach in 2002 and in his first season on the bench, the Golden Eagles ranked 46th in the nation in scoring defense, allowing only 67.3 points per game. In his second season, the Golden Eagles allowed just 65.4 points per game and moved up to 31st in the country in scoring defense. A Los Angeles native and Crenshaw High School graduate, Thompson was a three-year starter at Syracuse from 1986-90 and was a key part of the team that reached the 1987 NCAA Championship Game against Indiana and also the 1989 squad that advanced to a regional championship game before falling to Illinois. Thompson earned honorable mention All-America honors by the Associated Press and The Sporting News in 1989 and 1990 and was the Big East Conference’s Men’s Basketball Scholar-Athlete of the Year in 1990. During his four years playing for legendary Syracuse head coach Jim Boeheim, the Orange won two Big East titles in 1987 and 1990, finished second in the conference in 1988 and made four NCAA Tournament appearances, including three trips to the Sweet 16. Syracuse was a combined 113-31 overall and 45-19 in conference play during Thompson’s playing career. Thompson currently owns the second-best career shooting mark in NCAA Tournament history. In 15 NCAA Tournament games, Thompson hit 78-of-114 field-goal attempts (.684). Former UCLA great Bill Walton leads that category with a .686 percentage in 12 games. He also holds the Orange career mark for games played (144), ranks second in career field goals (801), fifth in career field-goal percentage (.560), sixth in career scoring (1,956) and tied for 12th in career steals (184). At the end of his collegiate playing career, Thompson ranked third in Syracuse history in scoring and seventh in steals. Professionally, Thompson had stints with the Orlando Magic, Sacramento Kings and the Denver Nuggets and also played in Europe, Japan, the CBA, the ABA and the Southern California Pro League. Before joining the Cal State L.A. coaching staff, Thompson served as Athletic Director for the Coast Christian School in Redondo Beach, while continuing both his roles as Co-Founder and Director of Give & Go Basketball Academy and as coach for the Southern California All- Stars. He also had a role in the 2002 basketball movie, “Like Mike.” Thompson received his bachelor’s degree in marketing from Syracuse in 1990. He and his wife, Amy, have two children: Stephen Jr. and Ethan. 3 www.csulaathletics.com ASSISTANT COA C HES A former player at Cal State L.A., Gary Vasquez begins his sixth year as an assistant coach for the men’s basketball program.

  • Research Implications for the Coach and Performer
    RESEARCH IMPLICATIONS FOR THE COACH AND PERFORMER John M. Cooper School of HPER Indiana University Bloomington, Indiana 47405 Assisted by Sharol Laczkowski There were over three hundred references available to the authors for a review of basketball publications. Most of them were written by coaches and contained information on how to perform a given skill. A few authors did semi-research on specific aspects of basketball. Some authors of textbooks of a research nature explained in biomechanical manner how various skills were performed, including analysis of sequence pictures of many of the actions. CoaChes who wrote basketball books often had a professional writer to assist them. The contents were an exposition of their concepts, insights and systems of play. Some of these authors explained and illustrated how they believed certain fundamentals and team play should be executed. A few will be cited to illustrate: Bee, Clair: Basketball for Everyone, Ace Books, New York, 1962. This is an instructional handbook on how to execute certain individual moves. The audience to whom he wrote was the player, coach and spectator. Buck, R.: Shuffle and Pre§~ Qifen~ for Winning Basketball, Prentice-Hall, Inc., Englewood Cliffs, N. J., 1960. He mentioned offensive ways of counter attackin~ Pressure Defenses. BunD, John W.: Scientific Principles of Coaching, Prentice­ Hall, Inc., New York, 1955.

  • Moore, Paris Headline Naismith Trophy Early Season Watch List
    MOORE, PARIS HEADLINE NAISMITH TROPHY EARLY SEASON WATCH LIST Duo Seeks To Join Exclusive Company ATLANTA (Dec. 19, 2008) – Only five women student-athletes have ever won the Naismith Trophy in both high school and college, but with outstanding seasons in 2009 Maya Moore and Courtney Paris aspire to join that coveted group. They are off to fast starts as they headline the Naismith Trophy presented by AT&T early season watch list, the Atlanta Tipoff Club announced today. The watch list was compiled by the Atlanta Tipoff Club’s Board of Selectors, which based its criteria on player performances from the previous year and expectations for the 2008-09 college basketball season. The watch list does not include incoming freshmen, although those student- athletes will be considered in the first vote in February, 2009. The Naismith Trophy presented by AT&T will be awarded at the 2009 NCAA Women’s Final Four in St. Louis, MO. “It’s a tremendous thrill for us to watch high school winners grow and achieve even greater success on the college level,” said Gary Stokan, Atlanta Tipoff Club president. “That said, it will take an amazing season for someone to emerge as the Naismith Trophy winner because the talent pool is incredibly deep. We look forward to watching this play out over the next four months.” For the sixth consecutive season, presenting sponsor AT&T will once again set the standard in allowing fans to participate in determining this year’s winner. Through the power and ease of text messaging, fan voting will account for an unprecedented 25% of the final results – more than any other national college basketball award.

The first collective act of professional basketball players under the NBPA was a threat to strike just before the 1964 NBA All-Star Game. Eventually, they had achieved to get the pension plan that they hoped for many years. Larry Fleisher, the general counsel of the NBPA, and Oscar Robertson, the president of the NBPA, were determined to abolish the reserve clause in basketball. The reserve clause restrained the free movement of professional athletes for many years, and NBA players were the ones who established staunch struggle against it, in various ways, including litigation. The NBPA filed a class-action lawsuit, also known as the Oscar Robertson lawsuit, against the merger between two basketball leagues, the NBA, and the ABA (American Basketball Association) in April 1970.
