  • A Good Article
    Coaching Articles : Eric Musselman File For Coaches Jackson makes Hall of Fame on principle By Roscoe Nance, USA TODAY Los Angeles Lakers coach Phil Jackson heads the 2007 Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame class, which will be inducted Saturday in Springfield, Mass. The group includes University of North Carolina men's coach Roy Williams, Louisiana State University women's coach Van Chancellor, the 1966 Texas Western University men's team, referee Marvin "Mendy" Rudolph and international coaches Pedro Ferrandiz of Spain and Mirko Novosel of Yugoslavia. Jackson, 61, has won nine NBA championships as a coach — six with the Chicago Bulls and three with the Lakers — tying Hall of Famer Red Auerbach's record. He has coached some of the NBA's greatest players, including Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen with the Bulls and Kobe Bryant and Shaquille O'Neal with the Lakers. Jackson gets players to buy into his coaching philosophy, which is influenced by Native American and Eastern beliefs. "The great thing about Phil is the way he has handled players," Hall of Famer Magic Johnson said. "He has a different style, too, that old Zen thing. I love him because he never gets too high and never gets too low and always wants to help the guys grow as men. He teaches them basketball and also teaches them outside the sport." One of his more renowned strategies is handing out books for players to read during road trips. "He's trying to get players to see that there's more to life than the NBA and your performance today," said NBA TV analyst Steve "Snapper" Jones.

  • Past Tense PSU and the NIKE SWOOSH
    Past Tense PSU AND THE NIKE SWOOSH n 1971 Phil Knight, then an instructor in accounting in the School of Business Administration, quite accidentally met Carolyn David - Ison, a graphic art student, in one of the hallways of the Art De - partment. Overhearing her comment about her limited financial resources, he introduced himself and offered her a job at $2 per hour to develop graph - ics and a logo for his young company, Blue Ribbon Sports. BRS needed a new brand for a new line of athletic shoes he was planning to introduce in 1972. Carolyn accepted the offer and shortly thereafter presented Phil and his associates with several designs. Although unexcited about any of the sketches at the time, Phil selected the “swoosh” with the expectation that “it would grow on him in time.” Carolyn billed him for $35. The rest is history. Blue Ribbon Sports became Nike, Phil Knight became the richest man in Oregon, and the Swoosh became probably the most recog - nized logo in the world. Carolyn did additional work for BRS and Nike and also received an undisclosed amount of Nike stock for her contri - bution to Nike’s great success. Her design studio, Carolyn Davidson Graphic Design, endured for 27 years. —Roger Moseley Past Tense features glimpses into Portland State’s history. To submit a story (or an idea for one), e-mail the RAPS History Preservation Committee at [email protected]. Past Tense FLORESTAN TRIO ENRICHES PSU n 1974 violinist Carol Sindell, cellist Hamilton Cheifetz, and pianist Harold Gray won the competition to become Portland State Uni - Iversity Music Department’s first (and only) artists-in-residence en - semble—and the Florestan Trio came into being.
