DAR:LING · HEAD BASKETBALL COACH Rex V. Darling is much more than Eastern Illinois University's head basketball coach, but when late October and November rolls around, Rex and basketball are king at Eastern. Besides guiding Eastern's hard­ court fortunes, Darling is the head tennis coach, is a member of the 1968 Olympic Committee, is a member of the selection committee for tennis participants in the 1967 Pan-American Games, will direct his ninth NAIA Na­ tional Tennis Tournament next summer and is chairman of the NAIA's tennis coaches division. Long known for his imagina­ tion and zest, Darling is currently planning the Panther campaign. " I've seen the top and the bottom of the !lAC standings in two years and I don't like that cellar," he says. Staying out of the cel lar and near or on top of the Inter­ state Intercollegiate Athletic Conference standings are Darling's goa ls for the 1966-67 campaign. Although four let­ termen are returning , Darling says his squad will probably be built around a rotating startinq lineup. The familiar " Split-T" offense will be back in full force this season with its power plays and quick openers. "We have the size and the ball handlers to make it work this season," Darling says. The only prediction that Darling will make regarding his 1966-67 club is that " it will be exciting to watch." Exc iting has always described Darling, both as a person and as a coach, so Panther fans will not be surprised at any new tricks Darling uses this season. A native of Roanoke, Darling received his bachelor's de­ gree at Illinois State University in 1939. His advanced de­ grees are from Indiana University. He coached at Roxana prior to entering the Army in World War II. While in the service he advanced from private to captain and was an intelligence officer for the Rainbow Division in the European Theater. Darling has been the head tennis .;oach since coming to Eastern in 1945. His tennis teams have never had a losing season and he has been recognized as one of the nation's foremost authorities on the sport . Darling has a sizeable collection of jazz recordings and is also interested in art and literature. He is active in golf, tennis and bowling. He and his wife, Kathryn, have a son, Rex Jr., who is a Second Lieutenant in the U.S . Air Force and in pilot training. 3 RONALD PAAP Assistant Basketball Coach Ronald Paap begins his third season as assistant basketball coach at Eastern Illinois Univer­ sity. Paap has an extensive back­ ground in his home state of Ne­ braska. He coached all sports for two seasons at Palmer in west· ern Nebraska, then coached six years at Papillion in the Omaha suburban area. At Papillion his 1960 basketball team came with­ in two games of the state tour­ nament, and his 1959 and 1960 baseball teams placed second in the state Cl ass B tournament. Paap was also freshman football coach at Papillion. He was a basketball squad member at Peru (Neb.) State Te achers College. He graduated in 1955 and received an M.A. in 1962 at Colorado State College, Greeley. He came to EIU in 1963. Paap is a collector of coins and Indi an arti­ facts. He is married and has three children. JIM DUDLEY Varsity Assistant Serving as Coach Re x V. Dar­ ling's varsity assistant this sea­ son is Jim Dudley, a native of Farmington, Illinois, who coached Lake Park High School to the Tri-County Suburban League bas­ ketball title last year. A 1958 graduate of Lake For­ est College wh3re he captained the basketball squad his junior and senior years, Dudley was 11th in the nation in field goal percentage as a senior. He also lettered twice in baseball at Lake Forest. As a high school athlete, Dud­ ley lettered three years in bas­ ketball and four years in baseball. His first coaching post was at Riverdale High School, Port BYron, Illinois, where he also served as sophom-:~e football coach.
