2 WAYNE MARTIN Head Coach

A 1968 graduate of MSU, Martin feels this year's team should be a stronger one than was fielded last season, the eighth most improved team in the NCAA's Division I. "We feel we are at least adequate two deep at every position but one," he stated. "The adjustment period is over. Only three new people will be involved in the program this year, compared to last year when the entire squad and coaching staff was new." For the former Eagle basketballer and golfer, one of the keys to success last season was student, community, and area involve­ ment. "We were very gratified by the enthusiasm and support of our student. body and fans from this and surrounding communities. This excitement was instrumental in what success we had. We hope to use that excitement as a springboard for the 1979-80 season." Working closely with Martin will be assistant coaches Ken Trivette and Randy McCoy, both graduates of Pikevi lle College, Bernard Johnson, a Cumberland College grad, and Brad LeMaster, MSU's new student assistant. "We feel the combination of youth and experience on our staff will be a definite plus for the program," he stated. "Coach Trivette has head coaching experience on the collegiate leve l, and Coaches McCoy, Johnson and l eMaster know our system ex­ tremely well." All coaches enter seasons with goals, and for Martin, the goals are high. "Our overall objective is to perform to our maximum capabilities," he said. "At this point, we feel those capabilities include a winning season, an Ohio Valley Conference champion­ As he enters his second season at the helm of Morehead State ship and an NCAA Tournament berth. These goals are very University's Eagle basketball team, Wayne Martin looks at his first challenging for our program." season as a stepping stone. MSU's floor boss is married to the former Pam Caudill of "We were not a very sound basketball team last season," he Morehead. They have one son, Chris, 7. stated. "Long range shooting, emotion, and effort were our strong points." He continued: "We hope our team will be much improved and more con­ sistent this year. This is based on the potential of a good inside offense with the presence of two true post men." Martin came to MSU from basketball power Oral Roberts Uni­ versity, where he served on the staff of former MSU assistant coach lake Kelly. No stranger to basketball in Eastern Kentucky, the 32-year-old Winchester native spent nine years in Pikeville, five seasons at Pikeville High School and four at Pikeville College. As a high school floor boss, Martin compiled an 82-56 record, including four district championships and two regional runner-up spots. His collegiate coaching record is even more impressive. He guided Pikeville's Bears to an 86-33 record, including three con­ secutive KIAC titles and appearances in the NAIA national tour­ nament. His 14-13 mark in his first year at MSU pushes his career total to 100-46, an average of 20 wins in his five collegiate seasons. Martin took over programs at PHS, PC, and MSU following respective seasons of 4-21, 7-17, and 4-19 at each school. He has proven his ability to turn sagging programs into winners. 3 KEN TRIVETTE Assistant Coach

The first assistant coach appointed by Martin was Ken Trivette :if Pikeville, former head basketball coach at Cumberland College. At Cumberland for three seasons, Trivette's team compiled a 27-10 record in its final season and made the first appearance in the school's history in the NAIA national tournament. A basketball coach by family heritage, Trivette is the son of former Pikeville High School Coach John Bill Trivette, a name that is linked to basketball excellence in Eastern Kentucky. "We feel extremely fortunate to have Ken on the staff," stated Martin. "He has demonstrated his ability to coach winning basketball. He will be used in all facets of the program." In addition to his career at Cumberland, Trivette served as a graduate assistant at the University nf Kentucky and assistant at Wayne County High School. "Coach Trivette's enthusiasm on the floor is tremendous," Martin added. "If our players show the same desire, we will be successful." Trivette, 30, a graduate of Pikeville College, is married to the former Candy Huffman of Pikeville. They have two children, Ann, 10, and Steve, 5.

RANDY McCOY Assistant Coach

The second assistant coach named by Martin was Randy McCoy of Elkhorn City. A member of Martin's staff at Pikeville College, McCoy is described by Martin as a valuable addition. "Randy is best described as a tireless worker," stated Martin. "When you combine his natural energy and drive with his knowl­ edge of our system, you have a valuable member of our staff." A graduate of Pikeville College, McCoy, 24, will have varied responsibilities. "We know Randy will do a lot of scouting for us, both of opposing teams and future recruits," Martin said. "His energy will pay off in that respect." He continued: "Randy has always impressed me with his knowledge and dedication to the game. We feel that he is a winner al( the way." McCoy is married to the former Sherry Brickey of Elkhorn City. 4 BERNARD JOHNSON Part-time Assistant

Bernard Johnson of Wiersdale, Fla., is serving ·as part-time assistant coach with MSU's Eagle basketball team. A graduate of Cumberland College where he lettered three years in basketball, Johnson also served as Cvmberland's student assistant coach. The brother of Eddie Johnson, former Auburn star and member of the Atlanta Hawks of the NBA, Johnson was a stand­ out at Wiersdale High School, averaging 22 points per game and serving as president of his senior class. Coach Martin feels that Johnson will be able to make an immediate contribution to the program. "Berf'lard's primary responsibi lity wil l be the area of recruiting," Martin said. "This wi ll give us the opportunity to have a man on the road at all times." He continued: "You are always thrilled as a heap coach to have people with the class of Bernard Johnson on yo~r staff. He has proven himself to be talented, both on and off the floor."

BRAD LeMASTER Student Assistant

Serving as student assistant with t he Eagles during the 1979-80 season will be Brad LeMaster, a four-year letterman at MSU. In his varsity career, Le Master had the reputation of being a tireless worker and excellent defensive player. A graduate of Johnson Central High School, LeMaster saw duty primarily as a starter in his first three seasons before moving to the sixth man slot on last season's 14-13 squad. "We hope to utilize Brad's leadership qualities that he dis­ played as a player last year," Martin stated. "As student assistant Brad will be expected to shoulder many of the responsibilities of practice and to help with on-campus visitations while other staff members are on the road recruiting." Le Master is married to the former Beverly De Long of Van Lear. 5 KEN WRIGHT Head Trainer

Ken Wright, 27, a native of Vevay, Ind., came to MSU in 1978 to serve as athletic trainer. Previously·, he served two years as assistant trainer at Ohio University.

8 MOREHEAD STATE UNIVERSITY 1979-80 Eagle Basketball Outlook

But in all programs it is the blending of the old and new that breeds success, and that could be the key for the Eagles this seaso n. Included in the newcomers' list are transfers Albert Spencer (6-9), Jeff Riley (6-7). Dave Underwood (6-3) and Byron Tramel l (6-2). Spencer, a transfer from Oral Roberts, should help to solidify the post position. Riley, from Georgia Tech, could see duty at both forward and guard, while Underwood, from Shawnee State College, could see action at forward. Tramell, from Santa Monica Junior College in California, is a possible for the point guard slot. The freshman recruited by Eagle coaching staff was Eddie Childress (6-6), a forward prospect from Muncie, Ind. According to MSU Head Coach Wayne Martin, last year was one of "almosts." "We finished the regular season in the OVC with a record of 7-5," he stated. " That was good enough for a second place tie. But those five losses were by a total of 10 points. With some added depth and experience, we hope to turn the close games around."

With eight returning lettermen and four returning seniors, Morehead State University Eagle Basketball Coach Wayne Martin is optimistic about his 1979-80 squad as the season approaches. The return of four starters, including all-conference performer Charlie Clay (6-7) and all-OVC freshman performers Norris Beckley (6-2), Greg Coldiron (6-6) and Glen Napier (6-3) is enough to make most coaches happy. But, with the addition of three transfers that practiced with the Eagles all of last year and two new recruits,depth should be a more positive factor. For Martin's Eagles, Clay will be one of the major factors. Used at center the major part of last season, he will return to his natural positions of power and quick forward this year. Versatility will be important for Beckley and Coldiron, as both will see action at guard and forward as the situation warrants. The return of Napier at guard gives the Eagl es a shooter with the potential to replace the departed Herbie Stamper as MSU's prime outside scoring threat. Another returnee, senior Butch Kelley (6-8), described as the most improved member of the Eagle team last year, should help to make the post position strong. Other returnees who should challenge for starting berths are guards John Solomon (6-2) and Rocky Adkins (6-3). Both players saw duty at the point position last season. Also returning to chall enge are David Gaunce (6-4) and Joe Stamper (6-4) at the forward positions and Bruce Rogan (6-7) at the post and forward slots. · 9 Charlie Clay Junior college All-American at Shawnee State.

million are under way or in the planning stages. In recent years, Morehead State's im­ aginative yet practical building program has produced a series of design awards from the Kentucky Society of Architects. Dominating MSU's campus skyline are the two tallest occupied str uctures in Eastern Kentucky, 19-story Cartmell Hall and 16-story Mignon T ower.

Academically, t he Universi ty is com­ prised of six schools-Social Sciences , Education·, Applied Sciences and Tech­ nology, Humanities, Sciences and Mathe· matics, and Business and Economics. They offer 145 programs of study from the associate degree through a joint doctoral degree. Almost 50 per cen t of the faculty holds earned doctorates. ·

Admin istratively, the University operates · under a 10-member Board of Regents with eight citizens appointed by the governor of Kent ucky. The two o~her seats are held by elected faculty and student representatives who hold full voting rights. The administrat ive structure consists primarily of four bureaus-­ academic affairs, fiscal affairs , university and regional services and student affai rs.

D r. Morris L. Norfleet, who took office Jan. 1, 1977, is MS U's ei ghth president.
