Peace Under Pressure: Portraits of Christian Leadership in College Basketball Coaches A Dissertation Presented for the Doctor of Philosophy Degree The University of Tennessee, Knoxville Charles Henry Wilson, Jr. August 2014 ii Copyright © 2014 by Charles Henry Wilson, Jr. All rights reserved iii DEDICATION This dissertation is dedicated to God, who continues to bless me in unexpected and undeserved ways, to my wife, daughter, and family who have done so much to help make this possible and inspire me every day, and to all the Christian coaches making a positive impact in the world. “The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few,” Matthew 9:37. iv ACKNOWLEDGMENTS God has richly blessed me with this opportunity and brought many people into my life to help me on the journey. Without my wife, Georgia, and her loving willingness to heed the call to change my career at age 37, uproot our family and move to Tennessee, sacrifice her time, and support me in innumerable ways, this would not be imaginable. No two year old should learn the word “dissertation” on their own, but my daughter, Lanie Gray, did and she admonished me to work on it daily. In fact, both Gray and her soon-to-be born sister continually motivated me. I also appreciate my extended family and friends’ support, including my parents, Charles Wilson and Linda Tatum, and their respective spouses, Vicki Wilson and Barnes Tatum; my brother and sister-in-law, Chris and Ai; my grandparents, one of whom is still with us; Pastors Mike Keaton, Wade Bibb, and Mark Moreland; my godfather, Dave Vaughn, who happens to also be a PhD and a pastor, all of my former assistant coaches and players, and so many more have provided examples and inspiration even when they didn’t know they were doing it. I must gratefully acknowledge my esteemed doctoral committee for encouraging, challenging, mentoring, and inspiring me. Lars Dzikus shared his passion for students, thorough grasp of sociological theories, and attention to detail. Joy DeSensi not only brought me together with my wife in her class nearly 14 years ago, but also taught me to take a critical look beyond the veneer of sport. Steven Waller gave me a wonderful role model as a strong Christian in academia. Rosalind Hackett always provided an insightful perspective and enhanced this study more than she will ever know. My two stints at the University of Tennessee enriched my life with too many positive people to name them all, but here are a few of the many: v • Professors, staff members, administrators, and associates: the late Vincent Anfara, Jim Bemiller, Sarah Bicknell, Patsy Boroviak, Joan Cronan, Jeff Fairbrother, Leslee Fisher, Gene Fitzhugh, Rob Hardin, Dave Hart, Lynnetta Holbrook, Landon Huffman, Jacob Jensen, Jane Johns, Dennie Kelley, Buck Jones, Susan Martin, Bill Morgan, Trena Paulus, Dulcie Peccolo, Rex Pringle, Bob Rider, Barbara Thayer-Bacon, Dixie Thompson, Carrie Trexler, Mary Wirtz-Henry, Roger Woods, Craig Wrisberg, and Rebecca Zakrajsek • Fellow and former students: Marcus Amos, Kevin Becker, Josh Bowles, Nalani Butler, Landon Huffman, Don Mills, Tim Mirabito, Morgan Murphy, Benjamin Nam, Josh Pate, Cheryl Rode, LeQuez Spearman, Sarah Stokowski, and Lizzy Taylor. • Partners in Sports board members: Xavier Cole, Hilary Cox, Blake Denton, Sarah Frazier, Sara Hora, Sean McCall, Sara Mitchell, and Katrina Phelps. • The inspiring team at the Center for Sport Peace and Society: Patty Hester, Sarah Hillyer, Ashleigh Huffman, Alicia Johnson, and Elisa Platillero. This study would not have been possible without the assistance of university media relations staff like John Lock, Tom Satkowiak, Brent Stastny, and Eric Trainer; National Association of Basketball Coaches Research Committee Chair, Dr. Jerry Krause; Nation of Coaches Executive Director Tommy Kyle; and Athletes in Action staffers Craig Sladek and Mike Sigfrids. Finally, I would like to acknowledge the four courageous coaches who were willing to share their stories so openly with a man they had never met, in the middle of their seasons. vi ABSTRACT NCAA Division I college basketball coaching is a high-stakes, high-reward profession. This study is based on three premises: (a) there is increasing pressure on college basketball coaches to win immediately and win consistently; (b) coaches are expected to maintain their integrity; (c) the pressure to win immediately and win consistently can influence some coaches to compromise their integrity. Given that context, the purpose of this study was to investigate and illuminate the lived experience of Christian head men’s and women’s basketball coaches at public, NCAA Division I institutions. This study was guided by two guiding research questions: (a) What is the lived experience of both men’s and women’s head basketball coaches at public, NCAA, DI institutions who self-identify as Christian?; (b) How does their religion influence the coaches’ leadership style? This study was a qualitative inquiry in the interpretivist, or constructivist paradigm. The research design included the methodology of portraiture. Sources of data for analysis from the four participants included qualitative content analysis of team media guides, official team websites and newspapers, interviews, and observations of a gameday practice and an actual game. In portraiture, the researcher’s voice is not muted, but transparently integrated into the final grand composition (Lawrence-Lightfoot & Davis, 1997). The findings demonstrated that (a) the four participants placed importance on their religious communities, despite frequent moves and hectic schedules; (b) their Christian faith provided them a broader perspective than just winning and losing that mitigated the high- pressure demands of the job; (c) that the coaches demonstrated a heart of service for their players and communities, which was rooted in their faith. As a group, the coaches’ leadership style was vii placed in the theoretical framework of legacy leadership. Legacy leadership is an extension of transformational and servant leadership with an intentional focus on leader reproduction. Implications for scholars include the potential for interdisciplinary research in the overlapping areas of religion, leadership, and coaching science. Practical implications include the need for athletic administrators and coaches to accommodate workplace spirituality of all types, including Christianity.

  • Mega Conferences
    Non-revenue sports Football, of course, provides the impetus for any conference realignment. In men's basketball, coaches will lose the built-in recruiting tool of playing near home during conference play and then at Madison Square Garden for the Big East Tournament. But what about the rest of the sports? Here's a look at the potential Missouri Pittsburgh Syracuse Nebraska Ohio State Northwestern Minnesota Michigan St. Wisconsin Purdue State Penn Michigan Iowa Indiana Illinois future of the non-revenue sports at Rutgers if it joins the Big Ten: BASEBALL Now: Under longtime head coach Fred Hill Sr., the Scarlet Knights made the Rutgers NCAA Tournament four times last decade. The Big East Conference’s national clout was hurt by the defection of Miami in 2004. The last conference team to make the College World Series was Louisville in 2007. After: Rutgers could emerge as the class of the conference. You find the best baseball either down South or out West. The power conferences are the ACC, Pac-10 and SEC. A Big Ten team has not made the CWS since Michigan in 1984. MEN’S CROSS COUNTRY Now: At the Big East championships in October, Rutgers finished 12th out of 14 teams.
