6 2008-09 Ohio Valley Conference Basketball Media Guide Dr. Jon A. Steinbrecher - Commissioner Dr. Jon A. Steinbrecher enters his sixth year with the Ohio Valley Conference after becoming the league’s sixth commissioner on May 5, 2003. Prior to joining the OVC, Dr. Steinbrecher served nine years as the commissioner of the Mid-Continent Conference (now known as the Summit League) and boasts a wide range of experience in collegiate athletics with an impressive list of accomplish- ments. In his first five years with the OVC, Dr. Steinbrecher has significantly increased the league’s exposure through additional television coverage at the regional and national level. In 2005, he negotiated a five-year contract with ESPN that secured increased exposure for the league. That included being the first conference to sign a deal to have games appear on ESPNU, ESPN’s 24- hour college sports network; the OVC had the first sporting event broadcast on that network (the 2005 OVC Men’s Basketball Tournament Semifinal). Steinbrecher secured an invitation for the OVC to participate in ESPN’s BracketBusters event, something every team has done in each of the past three years. He also implemented Conference merchandising and corporate partner programs and in February 2008 negotiated a five-year agreement with IMG College to manage the OVC’s multimedia rights and sponsorship sales. In July 2006 Steinbrecher helped spearhead a venture into streaming video with the launch of OVCSports.TV. The multimedia platform, in association with JumpTV Sports, provides live and on-demand coverage of every OVC football and men’s and women’s basketball game as well as selected other sports, coaches’ shows, press conferences and special events. In its two years of existence, OVCSports.TV has streamed over 800 events and recorded nearly 5,000 paid subscribers. The league’s official Web site – OVCSports.com – also experienced unprecedented growth over the past year, as it registered just under 1.4 million page impressions during the school year. In June 2008 Steinbrecher announced the addition of Southern Illinois University Edwardsville to the Conference’s membership. The institution, which became an official member of the Conference on July 1, gave the Conference a geographic footprint in the St. Louis media market and gave the league 11 member institutions. Under his leadership, the league has re-emphasized its commitment to sportsmanship by implementing a series of good sports initiatives, including affidavits signed by coaches and administrators, student-athlete ethical conduct orientation and an institutional and team sportsmanship awards. Dr. Steinbrecher also initiated a Conference Basketball Issues Committee and oversaw increased promotional efforts for the OVC Basketball Tournament, which resulted in an increase in ticket sales revenue. In addition to his work at the Mid-Con and OVC, Dr. Steinbrecher has served on several prominent NCAA committees, including the Division I Basketball Issues Committee, serving as a member of subcommittees for both men’s and women’s basketball, and in 1999 he became the first non-Division I-A commissioner elected as president of the Collegiate Commissioner’s Association (CCA). In June 2007, he was appointed to the NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Academic Enhancement Group by NCAA President Myles Brand; the group is charged to develop strategies to enhance academic performance and graduation rates in Division I men’s basketball. In September 2008 he will begin a three-year term on the NCAA Division I Legislative Council. Dr. Steinbrecher has also served as Division I-AAA vice president of the CCA and as a member of the National Invitation Tournament’s District IV Advisory Board. He currently serves on the NCAA’s Division I Committee on Athletics Certification. In addition, he served a one-year term as the Division I-AA vice president of the CCA. Prior to being named Mid-Continent Conference Commissioner in Nov. 1994, Dr. Steinbrecher had previously served the league as Director of Communications, Director of Marketing and Communica- tions and Assistant Commissioner. He joined the Mid-Con staff in 1989 after previously serving in the athletic departments at Houston Baptist University, Indiana University and Davidson College. Dr. Steinbrecher is a 1983 graduate of Valparaiso University, where he earned a bachelor of science degree in physical education and journalism. In 2006 he was bestowed an Alumni Achievement Award from his alma mater. Steinbrecher graduated with a master’s degree in sports administration from Ohio University in 1984, and he was awarded the doctorate of physical education in sports administration from Indiana University in 1989. An all-conference and academic all-conference selection in foot- ball and a conference champion in tennis, Dr. Steinbrecher was named Valparaiso’s and the Heartland Collegiate Conference’s Student-Ath- lete of the Year in 1983. In 2006 he was inducted into the Watauga County (N.C.) Sports Hall of Fame. Active in the community, Dr. Steinbrecher is the past chair of the Board of Education at Our Savior Lutheran Academy in Nashville. He is also a member of the Board of Directors and Executive Committee of the Nashville Sports Council, serving as the chair of the Events Committee.

OVC Tournament Tiebreaker System Regular season standings will be the determining factor in setting first-round pairings for the tournament. All ties will be broken starting at the top of the conference standings and working down. The tiebreaking system will utilize the following factors, in order, until all ties are broken.

TWO-WAY TIES 1. Records in head-to-head competition are compared, with the higher seed going to the team that has won the most games against the other. 2. In the event step 1 does not resolve the tie (i.e. if the two teams split their games during the season), then the records of the tying teams against the No. 1 seed shall be compared. The team with the better record against the No. 1 seed shall gain the higher seed. 3. If the potential No. 1 seed is among tied teams, the process in step 2 will begin at the highest point in the standings which does not involve a tied team. 4. The process continues, through the No. 11 team in the standings, if necessary. 5. In the event the tie cannot be broken, seeds will be determined by a coin flip.

MULTIPLE TIES 1. Composite records between the tying teams will be evaluated to determine whether one team has won more games against the other tying institutions (in which case that team would receive the higher seed) and/or one team has won the least number of games among the tied teams (in which case the team will receive the lowest seed, and/or two teams have the same composite record (in which case the two-team tiebreaker scenario shall be utilized). 2. In the event step 1 does not solve the multiple ties, or reduce the multiple ties to one tie, then a comparison of records of the tying institutions against the No. 1 seed will occur. The team among the tying institutions with the better record against the No. 1 seed will receive the higher seed. 3. If the potential No. 1 seed is among tied teams, the process in step 2 will begin at the highest point in the standings which does not involve a tied team. 4. The process continues, through the No. 11 team in the standings, if necessary. 5. In the event this process does not resolve the ties, seeding will be determined by a coin flip.

Note: If a multiple tie is reduced to a tie between two teams, the two-team tiebreaker formula will then be utilized. Ties involving teams higher in the standings are always broken before ties involving teams lower in the standings.

OVC Tournament Tiebreaker System Regular season standings will be the determining factor in setting first-round pairings for the tournament. All ties will be broken starting at the top of the conference standings and working down. The tiebreaking system will utilize the following factors, in order, until all ties are broken.

TWO-WAY TIES 1. Records in head-to-head competition are compared, with the higher seed going to the team that has won the most games against the other. 2. In the event step 1 does not resolve the tie (i.e. if the two teams split their games during the season), then the records of the tying teams against the No. 1 seed shall be compared. The team with the better record against the No. 1 seed shall gain the higher seed. 3. If the potential No. 1 seed is among tied teams, the process in step 2 will begin at the highest point in the standings which does not involve a tied team. 4. The process continues, through the No. 11 team in the standings, if necessary. 5. In the event the tie cannot be broken, seeds will be determined by a coin flip.

MULTIPLE TIES 1. Composite records between the tying teams will be evaluated to determine whether one team has won more games against the other tying institutions (in which case that team would receive the higher seed) and/or one team has won the least number of games among the tied teams (in which case the team will receive the lowest seed, and/or two teams have the same composite record (in which case the two-team tiebreaker scenario shall be utilized). 2. In the event step 1 does not solve the multiple ties, or reduce the multiple ties to one tie, then a comparison of records of the tying institutions against the No. 1 seed will occur. The team among the tying institutions with the better record against the No. 1 seed will receive the higher seed. 3. If the potential No. 1 seed is among tied teams, the process in step 2 will begin at the highest point in the standings which does not involve a tied team. 4. The process continues, through the No. 11 team in the standings, if necessary. 5. In the event this process does not resolve the ties, seeding will be determined by a coin flip.

Note: If a multiple tie is reduced to a tie between two teams, the two-team tiebreaker formula will then be utilized. Ties involving teams higher in the standings are always broken before ties involving teams lower in the standings.
