6 • 2016-17 Ohio Valley Conference Basketball Media Guide Beth DeBauche - Commissioner Elizabeth (Beth) DeBauche was named Commissioner of the Ohio Valley Conference on July 29, 2009 and began her duties with the league in September 2009. DeBauche (pronounced De-BUSH) is the seventh full-time Commissioner in the 67-plus year history of the OVC. She follows Art Guepe (1963-75), Paul Dietzel (1975-76), Bob Vanatta (1976-79), Jim Delany (1979-89), Dan Beebe (1989- 2003) and Dr. Jon A. Steinbrecher (2003-09). In May 2011 the league announced the addition of Belmont University to the OVC beginning in 2012-13. The addition of Belmont brought the OVC to 12 teams, the largest membership total in league history. DeBauche served as the Chair of the Nashville Local Organizing Committee (NLOC) for the 2014 NCAA Division I Women’s Basketball Final Four; the OVC served as the host institution of the event held at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville. It was termed one of the most successful Women’s Final Four’s ever by the NCAA staff , bringing more than 30,000 people to the city and resulting in an estimated economic impact of more than 20 million dollars. It also left a long-term mark on the city and middle Tennessee through a variety of legacy programs. Under DeBauche the league started an extensive strategic planning and branding initiative which led to the development of the league’s fi rst tagline of “Inspiring Excellence Since 1948.” The project also produced the league’s fi rst 30-second PSA commercial in over a decade as well as a longer feature video highlighting the Conference. The league recently adopted an updated strategic plan that includes goals for the league through 2019. In October 2013 the League launched OVCExtra.com, a fan-focused blog which features compelling, off beat, and so- cial media-sourced content from around the league. During the 2014-15 year the blog added a Campus Correspondents program that included students from each member institution contributing material to the blog highlighting each of their campus communities in a creative way. During the 2012-13 school DeBauche oversaw the switch of the league’s web streaming eff orts to a free access model which was rebranded the OVC Digital Network (OVCDN). The new OVCDN included HD video for the fi rst time and was made available on any platform/device. The Digital Network focuses on both athletic competition as well as telling the story of OVC and its member institutions. After seeing extreme growth in viewership in its fi rst year as a free service, the OVCDN has increased its viewership in each of its four years, broadcast over 2,000 events and had a viewership of over one million. In October 2013 the league signed a new fi ve-year agreement with ESPN that runs through the completion of the 2017- 18 season and includes a seven-game men’s basketball package as well as an eight-game ESPN3 Game of the Week football package which is done through a partnership with WebStream Sports. DeBauche also secured a deal with the CBS Sports Network to produce a four-game men’s basketball package for the fi rst time in 2013-14. During the 2015-16 academic year the OVC had the largest national basketball television package in its history with three national partners in ESPN, CBS Sports Network and the American Sports Network (ASN). The package included 22 total games including at least one national appearance for each member institution. In her time with the league the OVC has seen postseason success in men’s basketball as Murray State topped Vander- bilt in the fi rst round of the NCAA Tournament in 2010, Morehead State beat Louisville in the second round in 2011 and Murray State bested Colorado State in the second round in 2012. The league won NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament games in four-straight years (2009-12) which marked a fi rst in league history. In 2016 the league had a record six men’s basketball programs compete in national postseason tournaments. Overall the OVC has had at least one victory in eight-straight postseasons, an all-time league record. In 2013 the OVC qualifi ed three teams for the Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) Playoff s for the fi rst time in league history, with each of those teams winning at least one game. Overall the OVC recorded a league-record four wins in the postseason and advanced two teams to the quarterfi nals in the same season for just the second time in league history. In 2015 Jacksonville State became the fi rst OVC team to be ranked No. 1 nationally since 1999 and fi rst OVC squad to advance to the Division I National Championship game since 1982. OVC student-athletes have continued to achieve high levels of success not only on the fi eld but also in the classroom. The league has consistently seen record number of honorees on the OVC Medal of Honor and OVC Commissioner’s Honor Roll lists during her tenure. During her tenure 71 OVC student-athletes have been named CoSIDA Academic All-Americans. DeBauche has also sponsored leadership programming for OVC student-athletes and coaches through comprehensive on-campus summits. In October 2014 the league held its fi rst Health and Safety Summit which was designed to engage team physicians and athletic trainers regarding national and conference issues. In 2012-13 DeBauche helped spearhead a year-long celebration of the 40th Anniversary of Title IX. As part of the celebration each of the OVC’s 12-member institutions identifi ed a pioneer in women’s athletics and gender equality from their school to be honored during the year and celebrated at a home athletic event on their campus. The celebration was capped in May when those honorees were recognized at a special luncheon as part of the OVC Spring Meetings. Throughout the 2014-15 academic year the OVC celebrated diversity with through the stories of pioneers and leaders from each of our member institutions who paved and continue to pave the way for future generations of student-athletes and administrators. DeBauche currently serves on the NCAA Committee on Institutional Performance, the Committee on Academics, the NCAA Division I Leadership Council, the Division I Strategic Vision and Planning Committee and is the FCS representative to the “Coalition to Protect the Student-Athlete Experience” communications steering committee. She also serves as the chair of the National Letter of Intent (NLI) Policy and Review Committee. From August 2002 through August 2009 DeBauche, along with the vice-president of Division I, was responsible for coordinating Division I initiatives through the NCAA governance structure, as well as helping to manage the Division I agenda. Her duties included developing agendas and providing leadership for the Division I Board of Directors, Presidential Advisory Group and the Leadership Council. DeBauche has overseen the entire Division I governance structure and worked directly with the Legislative Council, the six cabinets and the supporting communications and coordination committee. She was also a liaison to governance representatives, external constituent groups and NCAA staff regarding legislative and governance activities. That role required DeBauche to have regular interaction with the Collegiate Commissioner’s Association (CCA), the CCA Compliance Coordinators, the Division I-A Athletics Directors Association, the National Association of Collegiate Women Athletics Administrators (NACWAA) and the Faculty Athletics Representatives Association (FARA). DeBauche also served as a liaison to the Women’s Basketball Issues Committee, the Presidential Oversight and Monitoring Group, the Men’s Basketball Academic Enhancement Group, the Presidential Task Force on Commercial Activity in Intercol- legiate Athletics and the Two-Year College Relations Panel. In 2008, DeBauche was named the NACWAA Conference/Organiza- tion Administrator of the Year. Prior to her work at the NCAA, DeBauche worked at the Southeastern Conference (SEC) from November 1996 through August 2002.

OVC Tournament Tiebreaker System

Tiebreaker. The tiebreaker system for seeding the Ohio Valley Conference Basketball Tournament will utilize the following factors, in order, until all ties are broken. In the instance where two or more teams are tied for divisional lead, the divisional leader tiebreaker system shall be utilized. Division leaders will be determined before any other seeding.

Divisional Leader Ties (a) Head to head record will be compared with the team having the best record named as divisional leader; (b) Overall division records will be compared with the team having the best division record named as divisional leader; (c) Overall record against opposite division opponents will be compared with the team having the best opposite division record named as divisional leader; (d) Records against the #3 fi nisher within the division will be compared with the team having the best record against the #3 fi nisher named as divisional leader; (e) If step d does not break the tie, the process continues through the #6 team if necessary; (f) In the event that the tie cannot be broken, the divisional leader shall be determined by a coin toss.

NOTE: In the case of steps D and E - if there is a tie between teams fi nishing 3-6 in the division, those ties should be broken prior to determing divisional leader by using the tiebreaker procedures below only with teams in that division. This is the only instance where ties between lower fi nishing teams will be broken fi rst and not skipped over. In addition, these ties will only be broken for purposes of determining divisional leaders. Once divisional leaders are determined, these ties will be reinstated and handled according to the tiebreaker procedures below for determining seeds #3-8.

Two-way Ties (other than divisional leader) (a) 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; (b) In the event step 1 does not resolve the tie (i.e., if the two teams split during the regular season), then the records for 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. (c) If the potential No. 1 seed is among the tied teams, the process in step 2 will begin at the highest point in the standings that does not involve a tied team. (d) The process continues through the No. 12 team, if necessary. (e) In the event that the tie cannot be broken, the seedings shall be determined by a coin toss.

Multiple Ties (other than divisional leader) (a) Composite records between tying teams will be evaluated to determine if 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 that 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); (b) In the event this process does not resolve 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. (c) If the potential No. 1 seed is among the tied teams, the process in step 2 will begin at the highest point in the standing that does not involve a tied team. (d) This process continues through No. 12 team, if necessary. (e) In the event this process does not resolve the ties, a coin toss will be the fi nal alternative.

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. Higher winning percentages shall prevail in tiebreaker situations, even if the number of games played against a team or group is unequal (i.e. 2-0 is better than 3-1). In the case of tied percentages, 2-0 is better than 1-0 and 0-1 is better than 0-2.

OVC Tournament Tiebreaker System

Tiebreaker. The tiebreaker system for seeding the Ohio Valley Conference Basketball Tournament will utilize the following factors, in order, until all ties are broken.

Two-way Ties (a) 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; (b) In the event step 1 does not resolve the tie (i.e., if the two teams split during the regular season), then the records for 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. (c) If the potential No. 1 seed is among the tied teams, the process in step 2 will begin at the highest point in the standings that does not involve a tied team. (d) The process continues through the No. 12 team, if necessary. (e) In the event that the tie cannot be broken, the seedings shall be determined by a coin toss.

Multiple Ties (a) Composite records between tying teams will be evaluated to determine if 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 that 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); (b) In the event this process does not resolve 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. (c) If the potential No. 1 seed is among the tied teams, the process in step 2 will begin at the highest point in the standing that does not involve a tied team. (d) This process continues through No. 12 team, if necessary. (e) In the event this process does not resolve the ties, a coin toss will be the fi nal alternative.

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. Higher winning percentages shall prevail in tiebreaker situations, even if the number of games played against a team or group is unequal (i.e. 2-0 is better than 3-1). In the case of tied percentages, 2-0 is better than 1-0 and 0-1 is better than 0-2.
