Mississippi State also made 11 appearances in the NCAA Tournament during Raffo's time with the pro- gram, winning five regional titles. The Bulldogs made three appear- ances in the NCAA Super Regionals and advanced to the College World Series in 1997, 1998 and 2007.

"My family and I are extremely excited about this opportunity," said Raffo. "Since my first visit, I was im- pressed by the campus, by the city of Jonesboro, but most importantly, by the people. There is an energy at Arkansas State that I did not expect. What a special time for ASU baseball. Every person I meet is enthusiastic about the leader- ship on campus and the direction our baseball program is headed. I can't wait to lead and be a part of it."

The Raffo Family (front) Ford, Paula, and Anna (back) Claudia and Tommy What They’re Saying About New Red Wolves Head Coach Tommy Raffo

“Arkansas State is making a major league decision in bringing Tommy Raffo in to head up their baseball program. He is certainly ready to lead a Division I program and ready to keep up the tradition that Keith Kessinger built in Jonesboro. I am very proud of Tommy and know that he will do an outstanding job at ASU.” Ron Polk, Former Head Coach & 8-time CWS Head Coach (Mississippi State)

“Without question, Tommy Raffo is the total package. What he brings off the field is just as impressive as what he brings to the field. If there was one word I would use to describe Tommy Raffo, that would be ‘class.’” Jim Case, Head Baseball Coach (Jacksonville State)

“Tommy Raffo is one of the outstanding young coaches in the country. He has a tremendous track record regarding re- cruiting, teaching and coaching at all levels, and he will run a first-class program with high principles and integrity. He is concerned not only with the players’ performance on the field, but in the classroom and community as well, and will rep- resent Arkansas State with high principles in every way.” Pat McMahon, Player Development/Scouting (New York Yan- kees)

“I am excited for both Arkansas State and for Tommy Raffo. I think ASU has gotten an outstanding young baseball coach with a great future. But more than an outstanding coach, I think Arkansas State has gotten a great human being to lead its baseball program.” Larry Templeton, Director of Athletics (Mississippi State) and Chairman, NCAA Baseball Tour- nament Selection Committee

Named for ASU pioneer J.A. ‘Ike’ Tomlinson, and Major League Baseball Hall of Famer George Kell, Tomlinson Stadium & Kell Field was opened in 1993. The complex includes Tomlinson Stadium & Kell Field as well as the baseball offices and indoor worko ut facil- ities for Arkansas State baseball. “Coach Ike” as Tomlinson was known to his former players and ASU fans, was primarily responsible for the rebirth of ASU Ath- letics following the end of World War II. He coached numerous programs, including baseball, and served as the school’s athletic director. He was a part of ASU Athletics for almost six decades, and the school hon- ored him in 1994 by placing his name on the new baseball facility. Kell, a native of Swifton (Ark.), was elected to the MLB Hall of Fame in 1983, and has been an active supporter of Arkansas State baseball for many years. Kell edged out for the 1949 MLB batting title, going 2-for-3 on the final day of the season, while Williams was hitless in two at-bats. Kell’s final mark on the season was .3429, while Williams posted a .3427 average. He was a 10-time All-Star who hit over .300 in eight consecutive sea- sons. Kell twice led the American League in hits and in doubles, and in the late 1940’s and early 1950’s, he was regarded as the best third baseman in the Ameri- Coach J.A. can League. “Ike” Tomlinson Head Coach Keith Kessinger was impressed with ASU’s facility upon being hired and has also made several improve ments, in- cluding work in the and indoor facility as well as increas ing the school’s col- ors of Scarlet and Black around the complex. Also, a batter’s eye was added as well Coach Ike turning on the lights at the as retractable indoor and all-weather batting cages. Prior to the 2007 season, the first night game at Barton’s Baseball Deck pic- Tomlinson Stadium & Kell Field nic area was added, and new for the 2008 season are over 200 field-level seats. Along with the new seating, which includes 26 handicap-accessible seating areas, are new party boxes which are available for groups and corporate events, new backstop netting, and new, precision-leveled infield turf. The Legacy Walk was also created prior to the 2008 season to recognize friends of ASU Baseball for their contributions to the program.

The new $29 million Student Union has taken prominent place in the center of campus, with the first portions opening in the spring of 2004. The second phase of the project was complete renovation of the exist- ing Reng Center. Students and visitors enjoy a new dining hall, meeting facil- ities, student leadership offices, book- store, computer labs, a food court and many other features. A new track and field complex has been completed on the south side of the campus. The $2.7 mil- lion facility features a 400-meter track facility, including venues for NCAA track and field events. The academic enterprise at ASU was enhanced with the addi- tion of the $20 million Bio- sciences/Biotechnology Building. This facility was dedicated to multi-disciplinary research to fulfill purposes outlined in the Arkansas Tobacco Settlement.

Arkansas State University is filled with friendly smiles, en- thusiasm, and a thirst for learning. It’s also filled with people who enjoy life and the joy and challenges it brings.

2009 ARKANSAS STATE BASEBALL MEDIA GUIDE 86 AStateRedWolves.com Dr. Robert Potts, University Chancellor

Dr. Robert L. Potts, a veteran administrator in higher education, was selected after a national search on Oct. 6, 2006, to serve as the first chancellor of the Jonesboro campus of Arkansas State University. In that capacity, among his other duties he now provides oversight for ASU’s athletic program. After studying at Newbold College in England then completing his bachelor's degree at Southern Adventist University in Tennessee, Potts earned a juris doctor degree from the University of Alabama. He later earned a master of laws degree from Harvard Uni- versity. Potts has had a distinguished career in higher education. Prior to joining ASU, he served as chancellor of the North Dakota University System. Previously, he served as pres- ident of the University of North Alabama in Florence, Ala., for more than 14 years, and prior to that was General Counsel of the University of Alabama System. During his first months at ASU-Jonesboro, Potts worked closely with the Faculty Sen- ate in resolving issues of concern to the faculty, and planned for a major capital campaign and the University’s upcoming centennial celebration in 2009-2010. During the 2007-08 academic year, in addition to overseeing the process that led to the selection of Red Wolves as the new ASU mascot, he appointed seven task forces of faculty, staff, and students who have studied and made recommendations on major issues of importance to the future of the University. Many of those recommendations are now being implemented. The Uni- versity is currently focused on increasing its enrollment through expansion of distance learning offerings and building a more robust international program, in addition to im- proving its facilities across the campus to make the campus more convenient and attrac- tive to students. In addition, under Potts leadership, the University is taking steps to modernize and expand its curriculum and also to increase its research and sponsored pro- gram activities. As President of the University of North Alabama, his accomplishments included streamlining the administrative structure, implementing a shared governance decision making structure, raising admission standards, and establishing a development and ad- vancement office. He and his administration also led the university's first capital cam- paign, established a Child Development Center, expanded the international students program, completed a campus master plan, and implemented several construction proj- ects, including academic buildings, student recreation center, four residence halls, and others. While at UNA, Potts served a term as President of the Gulf South Athletic Confer- ence, and University athletic teams won five Division II national championships. While with the North Dakota University System, Potts was chief executive officer for a statewide system that included 42,000 students on six four-year campuses and five two- year campuses. Among the highlights of his work there, he provided leadership in creat- ing a statewide collaboration plan for increasing the number of international students, in implementing a new higher education administrative software system, in continuing the highly acclaimed Higher Education Roundtable process that successfully aligned the higher education system with the needs of the state, and in implementing the first stage of a $50 million Economic Centers of Excellence program for system campuses. His list of professional activities is long, including membership in the Southern As- sociation of Colleges and Schools' Commission on Colleges, on the board of the American Association of State Colleges and Universities, on the U.S. Department of Education's Na- tional Advisory Committee on Institutional Quality and Integrity, and on several accred- itation teams. He also chaired the Secretary of the Army's ROTC Program Sub-Committee, which focused on improving the Army ROTC and Junior ROTC programs throughout the United States. He has also served terms on the boards of trustees of Alabama State Uni- versity and Oakwood College. In addition to his administrative experience, he has taught at Boston University, University of Alabama, and University of North Alabama. Potts met his wife Irene, a native of Sweden, while they were participating in an in- ternational education program in England. They are the parents of two adult children. Julie Anna Potts and her husband, Parks Shackelford, live in the Washington, D.C. area where Julie Anna is general counsel for the American Farm Bureau Federation and Parks works for Florida Crystals, a sugar cane company. They have three children, Ella, Olivia, and Duke. Les Potts and his wife Holly also have two children, Claire and Anna Leslie. They live in Starkville, Miss., where he is employed at Mississippi State University and she is an ac- tive volunteer with Habitat for Humanity and other charitable organizations. 2009 ARKANSAS STATE BASEBALL MEDIA GUIDE 87 AStateRedWolves.com Dr. Dean Lee, Director of Athletics

When the Arkansas State University athletics program reaches its 100th birthday in two years, Dean Lee's name will figure prominently in the celebration. ASU athletics is entering its 99th year and Lee still has a little more time to con- tinue restoring the old and building new tradition for Arkansas State. Under Lee’s direction, the ASU athletic department enjoyed another significant year in 2007-08. Not only did ASU enjoy some of the most exciting moments ever on the fields, courts, and tracks, but also in the arenas of academics, donor and alumni involvement, community service and achievement. Lee was named the AAFF’s Outstanding Athletic Director in 2008 and serves on the NCAA Men’s Basketball Issues Committee, the BCS Athletic Directors Advisory Committee and the Division I-A Athletic Directors Association Board of Trustees. He has guided the athletic department to annual success academically and com- petitively, but last year ASU athletics once again enjoyed growth through a number of unique accomplishments and projects as well. For instance, 206 field-level seats and new party boxes available for corporate events were added to Tomlinson Stadium, the Convocation Center weight room un- derwent major renovations that included new weights and cardio equipment, festiv- ities such as Jazz in Jonesboro continued to grow and improve, the women’s bowling team was the NCAA National Runner-up and Lee was instrumental in the recruit- ment and hiring of , who is just two years removed from an NCAA Final Four appearance, as the Red Wolves new men’s basketball coach. Those are just a few of the many ways the ASU athletic department continued to develop under Lee, who is always looking for new and creative ways to take the Red Wolves athletic program to the next level while maintaining its main focus on aca- demics, competitive performance and a well-rounded environment for student-ath- letes. Entering his seventh year as Director of Athletics, Lee is even hungrier for ASU to have continued success in all areas. He has already made great strides in enabling Arkansas State's Department of Athletics to become one of the most respected pro- grams around. Dr. Lee became ASU's 10th Director of Athletics July 9, 2002. It wasn't long be- fore the department began to experience important and progressive changes which were capped by an unprecedented “State of A-State” address in the spring of 2004. When he concluded the address to a packed house, there was no mistaking that he is committed to building a successful program at ASU. In a very short time, he has orchestrated sellout and capacity crowds, overseen the expansion and growth of ASU's athletic facilities, and provided sound leadership to both the athletic staff and population of student-athletes. Lee came to ASU from Oklahoma State University, where he was the executive di- rector of the OSU Athletic Associates and assistant vice president of the OSU Foun- dation. His administrative experience at two NCAA Division I-A universities, OSU and the University of Arkansas, and his achievements in mobilizing financial support make him well-suited for Arkansas State University and Northeast Arkansas. In addition, Dr. Lee's experience as athletic director at Arkansas Tech University and his familiarity with ASU and the state of Arkansas help him feel right at home. He earned his bachelor's degree in 1979 and master's in education at Henderson State University, then completed his doctor of education degree at the University of Arkansas in 1989. Although born in Tulsa, Okla., Lee competed in high school sports in Berryville, Arkansas, and was selected to play in the all-Star basketball and football games in 1975. He also played basketball, baseball and tennis at Henderson State, where he later served as an assistant coach. He was head basketball coach at Malvern High School early in his career. Dean and wife Reba are the parents of two daughters, Diamond Olivia (13) and Anna Pearl (11). 2009 ARKANSAS STATE BASEBALL MEDIA GUIDE 88 AStateRedWolves.com Athletics Staff
