PEPPERDINE BASKETBALLSEASON OUTLOOK

SEASON INFORMATION

When discussing the players on his 2009-10 Pepperdine men’s basketball team, there is one common thread in head coach Tom Asbury’s comments. Each of his young men had a greatly productive offseason in the weight room, which has turned a young, less-than-imposing team of a year ago into one that will be much more physically able to compete at the Division I level. When Asbury returned as head coach in February 2008, he and his staff had to scramble to put together a roster. They were able to bring in a large late-signing recruiting class that had talent, but was still very raw. The freshmen-laden team took its lumps last season against bigger and stronger teams, but that is on the way toward changing, Asbury says. “Each and every one of them has gotten bigger and stronger and noticeably so,” said Asbury, who is 134-82 in seven seasons as Pepperdine’s head coach and 219-170 in 13 seasons overall. “We took before and after pictures, and when you look at the contrast, it’s amazing. I think they should take a great deal of pride in their efforts. We told them last February, turn on the television and look at the bodies and the size of the guys that are playing through March and into April. If you want to be really good, that’s what you need to look like. And they’ve worked toward that.” Asbury led one of the best stretches in Pepperdine’s history in the early ‘90s, and was brought back to help restore some of the luster and continuity that the program had lacked in previous years. His young Waves overcame some early-season struggles and painful learning opportunities to win a first-round game at the West Coast Conference Tournament, finish sixth in the WCC with a 5-9 mark and post a 9-23 overall record. “The two things that hurt us the most last year were our physical size and stature, and turning the ball over,” Asbury said. “With everyone being so new, they were unfamiliar with the system and that led to turnovers. Physically, we didn’t match up with our opponents, but we’re going to be far superior to where we were last year strength and conditioning-wise, and I hope we’re going to be a smarter basketball team in terms of turning the ball over. We’ve got smart guys, they were just young. We got better at it as we went along and started to win some games.” So smart, in fact, that Asbury’s commitment to having a team that is successful in both the classroom and on the court has already paid dividends. The team has a cumulative grade-point average of nearly 3.0, up almost a half of a grade point in the last year. The 2009-10 Waves may have already set a school record as 11 letterwinners return from last season, a figure that is believed to be among the most in program history. The top five point scorers from last season all return, and four of them were freshmen and the other was a sophomore. Freshmen scored more than half of the team’s total points last year. Still, only two players have been in a Waves uniform for more than one season, and just one of them is on scholarship. Throw in the fact that there are no seniors on the 2009-10 squad

and it’s still not quite a veteran team. “Although we have a lot of returners, we have to be careful not to put too lofty expectations on the team because we’re still going to be extremely young,” Asbury said. “The bulk of this team is going to be freshmen and sophomores, numerically. We can’t just assume that because we’ve got a lot of experience back, we’re going to be world-beaters. We’re going to be better, we’re going to be more consistent and we’re going to be stronger physically, but our preseason schedule is going to be challenging and maybe even a little over our heads. But that was done by design.” Some of those non-conference challenges include three games against NCAA Tournament teams of a year ago, including a visit a few miles up the road to UCLA and home games against Utah and Portland State. The Waves host two other postseason teams in Miami (Fla.) and Pacific, and also play in a tournament at Wyoming. The goal, of course, is to have the Waves battle-tested and ready for WCC play. Pepperdine recorded at least one win against four of the other conference schools last season, but struggled against the top three teams of Gonzaga, Saint Mary’s and Portland. “I think we will be able to play with anybody in the league and you couldn’t say that last year,” said Asbury, who is again assisted by Marty Wilson, Damin Lopez and Will Kimble. “Maybe we won’t be competitive with Gonzaga just yet, but the gap will be closing. We showed last year we could play with everybody except for the top three teams. Now it’s a matter of getting into that upper echelon. That’s the direction we’re going, and whether or not we get there this year will remain to be seen. But I feel like by next year we should be in that upper crust of teams.” With a sizeable number of returning players, plus a few talented freshmen thrown into the mix, one of Asbury’s greatest challenges is determining how minutes on the court will be sorted out. “Early on, we want to play a lot of guys, not just to evaluate them but because they deserve to play,” he said. “I’ve never had a team where every scholarship player was someone I wouldn’t be reluctant to throw into a game. We’ve got at least 13 guys who will play and have the opportunity to produce. But by the time league play starts, those numbers have got to come down because you can’t play that many effectively. Somebody has to fall by the wayside, but right now I couldn’t tell you who that will be. We will need some players to step up and win those jobs and play consistently.” While any of the positions may be up for grabs, the Waves know they can start with an outstanding tandem in junior Mychel Thompson, who plays on the wing, and sophomore shooting guard Keion Bell. Thompson (Portland, Ore./Santa Margarita Catholic HS/Stoneridge Prep) is the only scholarship player that has been on the roster for two previous seasons. A 6-foot-7, two-year starter

TOM ASBURY MYCHEL THOMPSON


PEPPERDINE BASKETBALLSEASON INFORMATION

who has been voted team captain in 2009-10, he averaged 8.1 points as a freshman and was up to 9.6 points as a sophomore, second-best on the team. He has made 91 career three-pointers and is likely to break into Pepperdine’s top 10 this season. “Mychel might have made as much progress as anyone during the offseason,” Asbury said. “The fact that he was voted captain by a landslide shows the respect that the players have for him as a leader. Even though he’s a quiet leader, he leads by example. He’s versatile. He can step out and shoot it, he can put the ball on the floor, he can defend, he’s a very complete player. I expect great things from him.” Bell (Los Angeles, Calif./Pasadena HS) was a revelation as a freshman, showing skills that will make him one of the conference’s most dynamic players for the next three seasons, and dunking ability that may make him a YouTube legend. The 6-foot-3 guard was named to the WCC All-Freshman team after averaging team highs of 12.9 points, 2.2 assists and 1.5 steals. His showing at the Say No Classic summer league prompted one local sportswriter to call him arguably the best college player in all of Southern California. “I think Keion will be one of the top players in the conference,” Asbury said. “He’s improved his body, gotten bigger and stronger, and has a better understanding of the game and what we want to do. He’s a pretty complete player. Once he makes a consistent jump shot and commits fewer turnovers, he may be the best player in the league at some point in time.” Sophomore Dane Suttle Jr. (Los Angeles, Calif./Westchester HS/Summit College Prep) is another offensive-minded player that is expected to make progress after his initial year. The 6-foot-6 wing averaged 6.3 points in just 15.5 minutes per game. “Dane has improved and streamlined his body,” Asbury said. “He came in with some injuries and has done a good job of rehabbing and retooling his body. He has always been able to shoot and put the ball in the basket. Now he just has to defend and rebound better. I’m expecting a good year and some big strides from Dane.” The Waves have many options at the two post positions, where the team’s offseason commitment to strength training will have its largest impact. Sophomores Taylor Darby and Corbin Moore were the starters last season at power forward and center, respectively. Juniors Denis Agre, Gus Clardy and Jonathan Dupré, sophomore Andy Shannon and freshman Tanner Kerry are all vying for playing time at the positions. Darby (San Marcos, Calif./Mission Hills HS) started 31 of 32 games last season, more than anyone else on the team, and averaged 6.1 points and a team-best 6.1 rebounds. The 6-foot-8 forward ranked ninth in the WCC in rebounds and was second among freshmen. “Taylor was really a big surprise for us in the sense that he ended up playing as much as he did,” Asbury said. “He’s an extremely hard worker, worked really hard in the offseason and improved his body a lot. He’s a good rebounder, shot blocker and defender. He needs to continue to work on his offensive skills. He

sometimes gets so sped up that it hurts his effectiveness.” Moore (Cypress, Calif./Los Alamitos HS), at 6-foot-10, started more games at center (21) than anyone else last season. He averaged 3.1 points and 4.6 rebounds and hit 50.6% of his shots. “Corbin completely retooled his body,” Asbury said. “He made himself into much more of a physical specimen and he’s going to be far improved. We had to throw him to the wolves last year. He wasn’t really ready for this level of competition, but he did a good job. He got beaten up a bit, but he never got down on himself and all that is going to help him.” Agre (Sofia, Bulgaria/Central Arizona JC) got off to a nice start last year but became academically ineligible for the spring semester. The 6-foot-8 center averaged 3.2 points and 3.6 rebounds in the first 16 games. “The things that Denis brings to the table are rebounding and toughness,” Asbury said. “He’s a physical presence inside: a screen-setter, a rebounder and a post defender.” Clardy (Nacogdoches, Texas/Nacogdoches HS), despite his walk-on status, played a bigger role on Pepperdine’s frontline as the season went on. The 6-foot-8 forward even started four games and averaged 1.1 points and 2.0 rebounds in 9.3 minutes. Besides Thompson, he is the only other player to have been on the team for two previous seasons. “Gus began his season by not playing at all, but then he ended up contributing and starting a few games,” Asbury said. “He improved a lot and really learned how to play — defending, taking care of the ball and making good shots. He turned himself into a reliable player for us.” Dupré (Houston, Texas/Marshall HS/Collin County HS) was a key reserve on last year’s team, as the 6-foot-8 forward showed a nice jump shot and averaged 4.4 points and 2.3 rebounds in 15.7 minutes. “JD worked really hard in the offseason,” Asbury said. “He’s a guy who can really score from the perimeter. He was a little up and down in his first year here but it was his first year at this level. As long as he continues to improve his physical toughness, he will contribute.” The 7-foot Shannon (Carmichael, Calif./El Camino HS) was one of the league’s top shot blockers despite very limited playing time as a freshman. He came off the bench in 23 games and averaged 1.0 points, 1.5 rebounds and 0.7 blocks (10th in the conference) in 8.5 minutes. “Andy was a redshirt candidate when he first got here, but we didn’t have enough guys to allow him to redshirt,” Asbury said. “He ended up working himself into some playing time. He’s put on 40 pounds and bought into what we wanted him to do. He will compete for a starting spot in the post.” Kerry (Sydney, Australia/Cranbrook School) is the lone newcomer among the big men but has a great deal of upside after an excellent school and club career in his native Australia. The 6-foot-9 post player has excellent genes, as his father was an Olympic gold medalist in swimming.

30+ YEARS OF SUCCESS ON THE WEST COAST Over the 31-year period that began with the 1978-79 season and runs through 2008-09, the numbers show that Pepperdine is one of the top Division I basketball programs on the West Coast. The three columns on the right rank the 31 NCAA Division I schools from California, Oregon and Washington on their overall wins, winning percentage and postseason appearances over the last 31 years. The Waves rank in the top five in all three categories, including the third-most postseason appearances during that span. Several of the schools within this three-state area have moved up to Division I in recent years, and only their records as a Division I school are shown.

SEASON INFORMATION

“Tanner is a versatile post player who can step out and shoot the ball a little bit,” Asbury said. “He’s physically tough, can run the floor and make the open shot. He’ll probably make his share of freshman mistakes but we think he will be a really nice player for us.” The battle to earn minutes at point guard will be an interesting subplot in the early season, where sophomore Lorne Jackson is joined by freshmen Joshua Lowery and Caleb Willis. Each of the three is versatile enough to slide over to shooting guard if needed. Jackson (Simi Valley, Calif./Simi Valley HS) was the team’s third-leading scorer last season as a freshman at 6.6 points per game. He earned 14 starts at point guard. However, the 6-foot-2 Jackson is coming off a knee injury and has only recently been cleared to play. “Lorne has the opportunity to be the point guard this year,” Asbury said. “He had the opportunity last year, but there were some seniors ahead of him. He hasn’t played competitively in six months, but he has responded well to his rehabilitation. His body is in better shape and mentally he’s ready to go. I think he will be a good player for us this year.” Lowery (Phoenix, Ariz./Desert Vista HS) won a state title and was an all-state selection as a junior in Arizona. Unfortunately, he had to sit out his senior year due to state regulations limiting an athlete to four seasons of high school basketball (the 6-foot-2 Lowery played as an eighth grader in the state of Washington). Still, he kept in shape and got himself ready for the transition to college basketball. “Joshua is a smart, competitive player who came out of a quality program in Arizona where he was well-coached,” Asbury

said. “He is a solid defender and he’s going to be a nice player.” Willis (Stockbridge, Ga./Stockbridge HS) is also an extra year removed from playing high school basketball. He graduated from high school in 2008 and was the county’s player of the year, but spent an extra year getting himself into better shape to play college basketball. The 6-foot-2 Willis dropped nearly 50 pounds in the process. “Caleb was a late find for us,” Asbury said. “Just by looking at him, you can tell he is a strong and physical player. He advances the ball very well, plays well with the ball in the open court and is a solid defender. He just has to work on his jump shot but he’s made significant strides.” Three other walk-ons round out the squad: sophomore Richard Branning (Menlo Park, Calif./Menlo-Atherton HS) and freshmen Zach Kimber (Huntington Beach, Calif./Huntington Beach HS) and Matt Olson (Hunts Point, Wash./Bellevue HS). In the roughly 20 months since his return, Asbury has overhauled the program — both on the court and off — for the better, starting with the 16 players currently on the roster, 14 of which have come aboard since his return. “I would say that we’re on schedule,” he said. “I wasn’t sure that would be the case when I first got here. If you would have asked me a year ago if we could get on schedule in this amount of time, I would have said I don’t know, it would be tough. But right now we are in the process of being where I want to be. In terms of the kids working hard and being great students, we have achieved that. They’ve done a great job of buying into academics and what the mission of the University is all about.”

HEAD COACH • 8TH SEASONWYOMING ‘68

COACHES

The architect of one of the most successful stretches in Pepperdine men’s basketball history, Tom Asbury is now in his second stint in charge of the Waves’ program. The 2009-10 campaign will mark his eighth season overall as head coach in Malibu and second this time around. In earlier days, Asbury was at Pepperdine for 15 seasons, the first nine as an assistant coach (1980-88) and then the next six as the head coach (1989-94). He then served as head coach at Kansas State from 1995-2000 and was most recently an assistant coach at Alabama from 2004-07 before returning to Pepperdine. He now has a 219-170 (.563) record in 13 seasons as a college head coach. “There are very few people that have been as much a part of Pepperdine’s success in basketball over the years as Tom Asbury,” said Pepperdine Athletic Director John Watson at Asbury’s hiring in February 2008. “For 15 years he was a major reason why Pepperdine was the class of the West Coast Conference. I’m elated that he has decided to return home and take over the head coaching reins for next year. So many things made this an easy decision in the end: Tom’s history with Pepperdine, the fact that he is so well-respected by his co-workers and peers, his reputation as a coach and recruiter. We’re looking forward to his return to the bench and I believe he will again make Pepperdine a team that competes for league championships and postseason bids.” Asbury went 125-59 (.679) in his first six seasons with the Waves, who went to the postseason five times in six years with three NCAA Tournament appearances (1991, ’92, ’94) and two berths in the NIT (1989, ’93). Pepperdine won three regular-season West Coast Conference titles, finished no worse than second in any of the six seasons and compiled a league record of 66-18 (.786). Pepperdine’s only three WCC Tournament championships have come under Asbury. The 125 victories marked the best six-season win total in Pepperdine’s history since 1951. The Waves have had four 20-win seasons with Asbury at the helm, including a high of 24 wins in 1991-92, a season in which Pepperdine also went a perfect 14-0 in the WCC. In fact, Pepperdine established a conference record by winning 32 consecutive league games from 1991-93 (38 straight including WCC Tournament games). Asbury was named WCC Coach of the Year in 1991 and 1992. Firestone Fieldhouse was a particularly tough place for Pepperdine opponents during Asbury’s first tenure, as the Waves went 60-17 (.779) in home games.

Asbury served as Pepperdine’s lead assistant coach for nine seasons (1980-88) under Jim Harrick before becoming head coach. During those nine years, the Waves went 167-97 (.633) and went to the NCAA Tournament four times and the NIT twice. When Harrick left for UCLA in April 1988, Asbury was the obvious choice to replace him. Asbury proceeded to direct the 1988-89 Waves to a 20-13 record. Pepperdine finished in a second-place tie in the WCC standings and notched its first postseason victory since 1982 when the Waves posted an 84-69 win at New Mexico State in a first-round NIT contest. Pepperdine started slowly during the 1989-90 season but rallied during the second half of the campaign. The Waves won eight of their last nine, including a record-setting 131-123 homecourt win over nationally ranked Loyola Marymount. Pepperdine was hoping for a rematch with the Lions in the championship game of the WCC Tournament, but that never materialized following the death of Hank Gathers and the cancellation of the tournament. The Waves posted a

17-11 record and a second-place finish in the WCC, but unfortunately were left out of the postseason for the only time during Asbury’s initial tenure. Despite a relatively inexperienced roster and a rugged non-conference schedule, the 1990-91 team jelled into a strong, cohesive unit. Pepperdine concluded league play in first place with a 13-1 record and finished a memorable 16-game winning streak by defeating Saint Mary’s in the championship of the WCC Tournament — a first-time accomplishment for the Waves. Pepperdine advanced to the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 1986 to face Seton Hall. Asbury was tabbed the District 15 and WCC Coach of the Year as the Waves went 22-9 overall. Doug Christie earned All-American honors and was the WCC Player of the Year. During the 1991-92 season, Pepperdine rolled through WCC play with a perfect 14-0 mark. The Waves captured their second straight WCC Tournament title by beating Gonzaga in the final, and advanced to play Memphis State in the NCAA Tournament. The Waves posted an overall record of 24-7 and won 17 of their final 19 outings. Christie repeated as an All-American and as the WCC Player of the Year, and Asbury was named WCC Coach of the Year for the second time. In 1992-93, the Waves extended their winning streak against conference opponents to a league-record 38 games, and though the streak came to an end, Asbury still led Pepperdine to its third straight WCC regular-season title. A loss to Santa Clara in the championship of the WCC Tournament sent the Waves to the NIT, where they defeated UC Santa Barbara in the first round. Pepperdine finished with a 23-8 record. Dana Jones earned WCC Player of the Year honors. Asbury returned the Waves to the NCAA Tournament in his final season of 1993-94. After tying for second place in the WCC’s regular season, Pepperdine rallied to win the WCC Tournament and defeated San Diego in the final. The Waves lost an overtime heartbreaker to Michigan in the NCAAs and ended the season with a 19-11 record. After the 2008-09 season, in which the Waves went 9-23, his seven-year record at Pepperdine now stands at 134-82 (.620). Despite a losing record, his young Waves (which featured only three upperclassmen) showed great improvement over the course of the season. The team’s five conference wins were the most since 2005, and the Waves also won a first-round contest at the WCC Tournament. Asbury was noted as one of the nation’s top recruiters by Basketball Times during his earlier years at Pepperdine. He was also the head coach of the West Team at the 1994 U.S. Olympic Festival. After leaving Pepperdine for Kansas State, Asbury led the Wildcats to an 85-88 (.491) record over six seasons (1995-2000), which included a spot in the 1996 NCAA Tournament and the 1998 and 1999 NITs. His 1998-99 team won 20 games and led the nation in field goal percentage defense (.371). After spending a few years in private business, Asbury returned to coaching

ASBURY’S OPPONENT RECORD AS HEAD COACH

COACHES

in 2003 when he joined Mark Gottfried’s staff at Alabama as an assistant coach. He spent four years there (2004-07) before stepping down. He helped the Crimson Tide to a record of 82-46 (.641), which included three 20-win seasons, three NCAA Tournaments and one NIT bid. The 2004 Alabama squad advanced to the Elite Eight of the NCAA Tournament. A native of Denver, Asbury was a standout at George Washington High School in the early 1960s and earned varsity letters in basketball, football and track. Asbury lettered at Wyoming for three seasons and earned All-Western Athletic Conference honors as a senior in 1966-67. As team captain, he helped the Cowboys win the league title and advance to the NCAA Tournament that year. He earned a bachelor’s of science degree from Wyoming in 1968 and went on to receive a master’s of science degree from Colorado in 1974. He was drafted by the St. Louis Hawks of the NBA and the Denver Rockets of the ABA and played one season in Denver before beginning his coaching career. Asbury coached Wyoming’s freshmen in 1967-68, then was a high school coach in the Denver area for eight seasons. He returned to Wyoming to serve as an assistant coach for three seasons before moving to Pepperdine. He and his wife Carlie live in Malibu. They have two daughters, Stacey (deceased) and Megan.


PEPPERDINE BASKETBALLMARTY WILSON

COACHES

ASSOCIATE HEAD COACH • 8TH SEASONPEPPERDINE ‘89

Having already compiled an impressive record at Pepperdine as a player, an assistant coach and an interim head coach, 2009-10 will mark Marty Wilson’s second season back in Malibu as the associate head coach. Wilson has been coaching in the college ranks for 19 seasons. He was a four-year letterwinner who graduated from Pepperdine in 1989. He also previously served as an assistant coach for six seasons (1991-96). During his final season in Malibu, he stepped in as interim head coach for the final 13 games. “I am very excited to return home to where my college basketball playing and coaching career began,” said Wilson at his hiring. “I am thankful that Coach Asbury, John Watson and Andy Benton are allowing me the opportunity to return and assist in restoring a program that has such a long tradition of excellence.” During his first six seasons on the Waves’ staff (the first four of which were under Asbury), he helped Pepperdine to a 106-72 (.596) record. He began as the restricted-earnings coach before being elevated to full-time status for the 1994-95 season. He was hired back at Pepperdine in February 2008. With Wilson on the staff, Pepperdine earned bids to the NCAA Tournament in 1991, ‘92 and ‘94 and made the NIT in 1993. The Waves also won West Coast Conference regular-season titles in 1991, ‘92 and ‘93 and WCC Tournament titles in 1991, ‘92 and ‘94. “I’ve had a working professional relationship with Marty going back more than 20 years,” said Asbury at the time of Wilson’s hiring. “He is a highly qualified coach, an outstanding individual and family man and an excellent representative of our university. I’m exceedingly pleased that he chose to join us and return to Pepperdine University. We expect great things from him in the future.” Following Asbury’s departure for Kansas State after the 1993-94 season, Wilson remained on the staff under new head coach Tony Fuller. When Fuller resigned midway through the 1995-96 season, Wilson took over at the age of 28 and directed the Waves to three wins, which included, most notably, an upset of a Steve Nash-led Santa Clara team in the first round of the WCC Tournament. Wilson stayed in Southern California for the next several years, spending two seasons (1996-97 and 1997-98) as an assistant coach at San Diego, where he was also the recruiting coordinator. He spent the next six seasons (1999-2004) at UC Santa Barbara. He was the Gauchos’ top assistant as UCSB averaged 18 wins a season during his last three years there. UC Santa Barbara won the Big West Conference’s West Division in 1999 and captured the 2002 Big West Tournament title and advanced to the NCAA Tournament. The Gauchos won the Big West regular season title and made an appearance in the NIT in 2003. Wilson was an assistant the last four seasons (2005-08) at Utah. During his first season, the Utes went 29-6, won the Mountain West Conference’s regular-season title, advanced to the NCAA Tournament’s Sweet Sixteen and finished the year ranked 18th nationally by the Associated Press. As a player with the Waves, Wilson ended his career in fifth place on the all-time assists list with 342 (he still ranks ninth). Under head coach Jim Harrick, Wilson was a backup point guard in 1984-85 and 1985-86, and the Waves advanced to the NCAA Tournament both seasons. A back injury sidelined Wilson for the entire 1986-87 campaign, but he took over as the starting point guard in 1987-88. Unfortunately, he suffered a season-ending knee injury in the 17th game of the season, though the Waves still advanced to the NIT. Asbury took over as head coach in 1988-89, and Wilson’s extensive rehabilitation paid off as he returned to the starting lineup as a senior and led the Waves to a 20-13 record and the second round of the NIT. He graduated from Pepperdine in 1989 with a bachelor’s degree in communications. A native of Pacoima, Calif., Wilson was a prep standout at Simi Valley High School. He was named the Marmonte League’s Most Valuable Player as a 1983-84 senior. One of his teammates was future NBA standout Don MacLean. Wilson once ran a free basketball camp in his hometown for around 100 under-privileged kids each summer. He and his wife, Mayra, have a daughter, Jessica, and a son, Jalon.

COACHES

ASSISTANT COACH • 2ND SEASONPEPPERDINE ‘94

Former Pepperdine standout Damin Lopez, who returned to Malibu to serve as an assistant coach on Tom Asbury’s staff, will be in his second season in 2009-10. This is Lopez’ first college coaching position. He was previously the associate head coach at perennial powerhouse St. Mary’s High School in Phoenix, Ariz., and also worked in private business. “I am very excited and thankful to Dr. Andrew Benton, Dr. John Watson and Coach Asbury for this wonderful opportunity,” said Lopez at his hiring in March 2008. “Having the chance to coach at the collegiate level is special, but to go back to my alma mater is indescribable. I am truly touched and looking forward to doing whatever I can to restore the Pepperdine tradition that so many are accustomed to experiencing.” While assisting his father David at St. Mary’s High School, the Lopez family developed the school into one of the premier programs in the state. St. Mary’s has sent several players to college and the pros, most notably Channing Frye (Arizona/Portland Trail Blazers) and Jerryd Bayless (Arizona/Portland Trail Blazers). In the 12 seasons that Damin was part of the St. Mary’s staff, the school won the state title in 2001 and was part of five Final Fours and nine Elite Eights while winning or sharing the Desert Valley Region title seven times. The school competes in the largest school classification (5A) despite having an enrollment of only 800. “I’m extremely pleased to have Damin join my staff,” said Asbury at Lopez’ hiring. “He comes from a basketball family and grew up with the game so he’s very knowledgeable. He has an excellent understanding of my system and the process of how we will do things. As a player he was an overachiever, and pound-for-pound he was the most fundamentally sound player I’ve ever coached. If he had been 6-foot-2, he would have played in the NBA for 15 years. Damin will do an excellent job for us.” Lopez spent five seasons (1990-94) at Pepperdine while Asbury was the head coach. Lopez was the starting point guard his final three years and still ranks second all-time in three-pointers made (239) and sixth all-time in assists (363) at Pepperdine. He was named to the All-WCC first team as a senior and was honorable mention as a sophomore. He also made the All-WCC Tournament team as a junior and senior. He played in four games during the 1989-90 season before breaking a hand and taking a medical redshirt year. The Waves went to the postseason each of the next four seasons with Lopez back in the lineup, including the NCAA Tournament in 1991, 1992 and 1994 and the NIT in 1993. The Waves won three WCC regular-season titles and three WCC Tournaments during his tenure. He graduated from Pepperdine in 1994 with a degree in business administration. He went on to have a brief stint in the Phoenix Suns’ rookie camp and with the Mexico City Aztecas of the Continental Basketball Association. Outside of basketball, Lopez has served as a partner in Julio César Chávez Enterprises, a commercial retail development firm, and was the president/managing partner of Grupo Ñ Advertising, a full-service advertising firm specializing in Hispanic marketing. Lopez played for his father at Apollo High School in Glendale, Ariz. As a 1998-89 senior he was named the Arizona Player of the Year by the Phoenix Gazette and the co-Player of the Year by the Arizona Republic after averaging 27.6 points. He currently resides in Calabasas with his daughter, Isabella Faith.

ASSISTANT COACH • 2ND SEASONPEPPERDINE ‘04

Will Kimble, a standout post player earlier in the decade before returning to Pepperdine as an assistant coach, will be in his second season with the Waves in 2009-10. Prior to his return to Malibu, Kimble was an assistant coach at Citrus College, located in Glendora, Calif., for one season. He helped the Fighting Owls to a 35-1 record and its first-ever state junior college championship in 2007-08. “First of all I want to thank God, Dr. Andrew Benton, Dr. John Watson and Coach Asbury, as well as everybody in the athletic department at Pepperdine,” said Kimble at his hiring in April 2008. “It feels great to get back to the place where I began my college career, and I felt like this has always been my home. To have the opportunity to come back and contribute to this university, I’m just really, really honored. I take great pride in representing Pepperdine.” He began his coaching career in 2006-07 as the head varsity boys’ basketball coach at Bethel Temple High School in El Paso, Texas, and led the school to the Texas Christian Athletic League finals. “I’m ecstatic to have Will join our staff,” said Asbury at Kimble’s hiring. “He comes very highly recommended from many coaches that I’ve talked to. He’s another member of the Pepperdine family and I know that people around here will be excited to have him return.” Kimble began his college career at Pepperdine and played for the Waves for two seasons. The 6-foot-10 center averaged 1.8 points in 9.3 minutes as a 2000-01 freshman and 5.4 points in 15.7 minutes as a 2001-02 sophomore. The Waves made the NIT in 2001 and the NCAA Tournament in 2002. He appeared in one game in 2002-03, but was held out of further competition after it was discovered that he had a heart condition. Kimble continued at Pepperdine, staying on as a student assistant during the 2003-04 season, and graduated in 2004 with a bachelor’s degree in advertising. He moved on to Texas-El Paso, where doctors cleared him to return to the basketball court, and Kimble finished his playing career there. He averaged 4.5 points in 15.5 minutes as a 2004-05 junior and 4.9 points in 19.4 minutes as a 2005-06 senior. The Miners made the NCAA Tournament in 2005 and the NIT in 2006. He earned a master’s degree in education from UTEP in 2006. Kimble, a native of San Bernardino, Calif., attended Pacific High School.

Scott Coopman is the Director of Operations for the Pepperdine men’s basketball program and is in his second season with the Waves in 2009-10. “Scott comes very well recommended and we’re glad to have him join our staff,” said head coach Tom Asbury at Coopman’s hiring in April 2008. “He’s a family guy and we’d like to welcome him to the Pepperdine family.” Coopman spent the previous three years working with the Long Beach State men’s basketball program. He was the 49ers’ Director of Operations in 2007-08 after previously serving as the video coordinator and administrative assistant. He was also in charge of Long Beach Basketball Camps, team travel, equipment and film exchange.

PEPPERDINE HISTORY

DOUG CHRISTIE


PEPPERDINE BASKETBALLPEPPERDINE BASKETBALL HISTORY Since its infancy at the old Los Angeles campus at the corner of 79th and Vermont Streets, Pepperdine basketball has been characterized by excellence. The Waves have established a proud history of success during its 71 seasons of intercollegiate play, compiling a cumulative overall record of 1,111-910 (.550). Over the years, the Waves have made 26 postseason appearances (13 in the NCAA Tournament), captured at least a share of 16 conference titles, won three West Coast Conference Tournament titles and sent dozens of players into professional basketball. Pepperdinefieldeditsfirst-everbasketballteamduringthe1938-39 season. Head coach Wade Ruby’s squad posted an overall record of 16-13, defeating the likes of La Verne, Occidental and Whittier along with a collection of AAU and club teams. Al Duer assumed the head coaching chores the next year, and he directed the Pepperdine basketball program to tremendous heights. From 1940-48,Duernotcheda nine-year record of 176-102 (.633) and six of his teams advanced to postseason play. In just the fourth season of the program’s existence, Pepperdine went to a national tournament forthefirsttimebutlostin their initial game at the 1942 NAIB Tournament in Kansas City, Mo. In 1944, Pepperdine competed in the NCAA Tournament for thefirsttime,butlosttoIowa State and Missouri in games played in Kansas City, Mo. Pepperdine reached the championship game of the 32-team NAIB Tournament in 1945, losing to Loyola-New Orleans by afinalscoreof49-36inKansasCity,Mo. Duer eventually served as the executive director of the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics from 1949-75, and was later inductedintotheNaismithBasketballHallofFamein1982forhisoutstanding contributions to the sport. Robert “Duck” Dowell assumed the head coaching chores prior tothe1948-49campaignandservedinthatcapacityfor20seasons,compiling a career mark of 263-264 (.499). Dowell directed Pepperdine to four consecutive California Collegiate Athletic Association titles from 1950-53, and the Waves advanced to the NAIB Tournament in 1950, 1951 and 1952. Pepperdine joined the West Coast Conference in 1955-56 and the Waves still battle many long-time rivals, including Loyola Marymount, Saint Mary’s, San Francisco and Santa Clara. Dowell’s 1961-62 ballclub won the WCC regular-season championshipforthefirsttime and advanced to the NCAA Tournament for just the second time in school history. Led by All-WCC selections Harry Dinnel

and Bob Warlick, Pepperdine lost a narrow 69-67 decision to Oregon State beforereboundingtodefeatUtahStatebyafinalscoreof75-71ingamesplayed at Smith Fieldhouse in Provo, Utah. Following Dowell’s retirement, Gary Colson assumed the head coachingdutiesinthesummerof1968.Colsoncompletedhis11-yearcoachingtenureatPepperdinewitharecordof153-137(.528). In the program’s early years, home games were played at a variety of places besides the venerable Campus Gym. For example, the team played at such historic sports venues as The Great Western Forum and the Los Angeles Sports Arena. Other “home” sites included Culver City Auditorium, El Segundo High School, Morningside High School and the Pan-PacificAuditorium. But Pepperdine moved its campus to Malibu in 1972, and the change of location signaled the beginning of better fortunes for the Waves, as the attractive beachside setting helped attract quality recruits. Junior guard William “Bird” Averitt was the nation’s leading scorer during the 1972-73 season when he averaged 33.9 points a game. The All-American guard set a single-game Pepperdine scoring record on Jan. 6, 1973, when he tallied 57 points against Nevada. Averitt went on to play professional basketball with the Buffalo Braves, Kentucky Colonels, New Jersey Nets and San Antonio Spurs.

The Waves have compiled a cumulative record of 333-142 (.701) in games played at Firestone Fieldhouse, and won a school-record 30 consecutive home games from1984-86. Paced by the play of All-WCC selections Dennis Johnson, Marcos Leite and Ollie Matson Jr., Pepperdine won the WCC championship in 1976 and advanced to the NCAA Tournament for the firsttimesince1962.TheWaves defeated Memphis bythefinalscoreof87-77inafirst-roundgameat the McKale Center in Tucson, Ariz., before losing to UCLA at Pauley Pavilion by a 70-61 count. Johnson, who played at Pepperdine just one season, enjoyed a professional career with the Boston Celtics, Phoenix Suns and the Seattle SuperSonics. Regarded as one of the game’s all-time great defensive players, Johnson was named the Most Valuable Player at the 1979 NBA Finals.

Under Asbury’s guidance, Pepperdine won regular-season WCC titles in 1991, 1992 and 1993, while the 1991, 1992 and 1994 teams captured the WCC Tournament crown. Pepperdine established a conference record by winning 32 consecutive games against league

After Asbury’s departure there were a few down years, but Lorenzo Romar rebuilt the Pepperdine program in the late 1990s. Romar’s 1997-98teamcompileda17-10 record and was the second-most improved NCAA Division I program in the country. The Waves advanced to the NIT in 1999 — ending a four-year postseason drought — but lost a 65-61 decision to Colorado at the Coors Events Center in Boulder, Colo. Pepperdine entered the new century under the guidance of Jan van Breda Kolff. Utilizing a variety of pressure defenses, the Waves rolled to a 25-9 record in 1999-2000 — matching the modern-era single-season school record for wins.

1944The NAIB Tournament (the precursor to the NAIA), which the Waves had taken part in in both 1942 and 1943, was cancelled in 1944 due to World War II. But after an excellent regular season that consisted largely of service and AAU opponents, the West Coast NCAA Committee chose Pepperdine to represent the eighth district at the national tournament. The Waves had played the strongest schedule among the region’s teams and were known as the “Giant Killers.” At the time, it was just an eight-team event, and so the Waves would travel to Kansas City for the Western Regional with Iowa State, Missouri and Utah. Unfortunately, Pepperdine lostitsregionalsemifinaltoIowaState,44-39,andalsofellintheconsolation game to Missouri, 61-46. All-American Nick Buzolich, a 6-foot-7 sophomore center, scored 22 of Pepperdine’s 39 points against the Cyclones, then posted half (23) of the Waves’ 46 points against Missouri.

Robert “Duck” Dowell, the all-time winningest coach in school history, had taken the Waves to three NAIB Tournaments early in his career but this would be his only NCAA Tournament appearance. He was named the conference’s coach of the year in 1962. Warlick led the senior-laden team with a 17.3 scoring average. Harry Dinnel was the WCAC’s co-Most Valuable Player.

PEPPERDINE BASKETBALLHISTORY

“THE STREAK”The West Coast Conference has provided some memorable moments

in men’s basketball throughout its duration since it was created in 1952. San Francisco, Santa Clara and Saint Mary’s were three of the

originalfivemembers(PacificandSanJoseStatebeingtheothertwo)that came together to form the California Basketball Association to play basketball in the Bay Area. Pepperdine and Loyola Marymount joined shortly thereafter in 1955, Portland in 1976, and Gonzaga and San Diego in 1979. Ithasbeenaleaguedefinedbyitsgreatplayers,coaches,teamsand a few incredible winning streaks. But none better than the winning streak by the Pepperdine Waves from Jan. 12, 1991 to Jan. 29, 1993, whichranfor38consecutivegamesagainstconferenceopponents(32regular-season contests plus six WCC Tournament games). Before the Waves’ amazing run, the San Francisco Dons were the proud owners of a 31-game winning streak in conference play from 1954-57. Led by two-time All-American Bill Russell, K.C. Jones and Mike Farmer, the Dons dominated league play en route to back-to-back national championships in 1955 and 1956. Not only did San Francisco win 31 straight conference games, but they also won 51 straight regular-season games and 60 consecutive overall, including NCAA Tournament games from 1955-57. Incredibly, it would be another 36 years later before a team from Malibu would break the record. Those Pepperdine Waves were special. They didn’t possess a 6-foot-10 future NBA Hall of Famer patrolling the paint. What they did have were a group of great competitors who trusted in each other and had the uncanny ability to go on the road and defy all odds. The likes of Doug Christie, Geoff Lear, Dana Jones and Damin Lopez each possessed a ‘refuse to lose’ attitude that transcended to their teammates from one year to the next. “It was a team that had mental toughness and was so competitive,” Asbury said. “They executed better on the road than at home. They were such great competitors,veryfierce.Theymadeeveryone else better.”

The streak began following a home loss to San Diego that began the conference season

on Jan. 11, 1991. The very next night the Waves regrouped and defeated Santa Clara, 67-61, behind Christie’s 22 points. Any kind of winning streak would not only include great execution but some luck thrown in there — literally. On January 26 at Saint Mary’s, Lear scored 19 points but none more important than his 15 foot, off-balance, fading-toward-the-baseline shot at the buzzer that gave the Wavesathrilling79-78victory.Thestreakwasonlyfivegamesold. “We were good but had some luck along the way,” said Marty Wilson, an assistant coach then and now the associate head coach. “That shot could have easily bounced out.” But it didn’t. Six nights later and back at home, Pepperdine had to once again fightoffthestubbornGaelsofSaintMary’swithanexciting82-78double-overtime win. Christie recorded a triple-double with 21 points, 11 assists and 10 rebounds. It is believed to be the only triple-double in Waves history. Pepperdine(whichwontheWCCregular-seasontitle,finishing13-1bywinning13inarow)wonitsfirsttwoWCCTournamentgames,leading up to a third meeting with Saint Mary’s for the tournament crown. Despite losing Christie to a knee injury in the opening round, the Waves wouldwintheirfirst-everWCCTournamentchampionshipandcompletethetrifectaovertheGaelswithanotherexhilaratingtriumph,71-68,inovertime. Lear scored 32 points and grabbed 14 rebounds, which earned him the MVP of the tournament. In1991,ChristiewasnamedtheWCC’sPlayeroftheYear,Learmade his second All-WCC appearance and Jones was named the league’s

FreshmanoftheYear. Three heartbreaking losses for Saint Mary’s, while just one win over the Waves would have ended a streak that no one realized was just at its beginning. “It takes some luck to have a streak like this,” said Asbury,whowonhisfirstWCCCoachoftheYearawardthatseason.

Withallfivestartersreturning, the 1991-92 season proved to be

one of the greatest seasons ever in Pepperdine lore. The Waves thoroughly dominated their league opposition by running the table with a perfect mark of 14-0 in league and 3-0 in the WCC Tournament. At the conclusion of the season, the streak stood at 33 overall (27 in the regular season). The 17 wins vs. WCC opponents were by an averageof11.8pointsandonlyfivevictorieswereinsingle digits. The home wins were as dominant as ever by a 15.7-point average margin of victory. Having a home crowd behind you is always important for home court advantage. But what separates the good teams from the great teams is the ability to win away from home. For the second consecutive season, the Waves went 10-0 against conference opponents on the road or at a neutral site. “One key ingredient to the streak was that the team was ultra-competitive on the road,” Asbury added. “When we hit the mid-20s, we started thinking, ‘whew ... look at what we are doing here.’ We had a good balance of shooters, smart players and even better competitors. They were such a good road team in a really good era.” One impressive part of the streak that gets overlooked — with the exception of the coaching staff — was Pepperdine’s 27-game WCC road winning streak that began on March 3, 1990 and lasted until February 25, 1993. It included 21 road victories and six neutral-court contests at WCC Tournaments. “The team had an ‘everyone against us’ mentality on the road,” Wilson said. “We always told our players to treat it as a business trip. Take care of your business and we can go home. They knew what to do and they knew the plan. They challenged each other every day. Just some great people in the program. They became closer along the way.” Damin Lopez, the Waves’ assistant coach now and the starting point guard for much of the streak, agreed with Wilson’s thoughts. “The bond and the trust that the team had in each other made it

so much easier to go on the road. We had each others’ back,” Lopez said. “It was fun. Just watching the opponent and knowing and feeling that the tide was changing late in the game at the same time. With aboutfiveminutesleftineachgame, they knew, here we come. The opponents had a mental wall to overcome.Youcouldseeitintheireyes. We never lost our poise and our focus. We never lost our belief that we would win.” Lopez was the smallest playerintheWCCat5-foot-8buthad the heart and determination that stood out amongst all who challenged him or his teammates. He was the point guard, an extensionofhiscoachonthefloor.YetLopezknewwhataspecialteamhewasapartofandwherehefitin. “I never felt that I had more responsibility than the seventh or eighth guy on the team,” said Lopez. “Everyone knew their roles and that’s why it was so unique. No one said to anyone else, ‘you need to do this ...’ We had huge trust in each other. Everything clicked in for a long period of time.Thestreakwashigh-pressure,intenseandpowerfulinnature.Yetitwas the most fun you could ever imagine.” The Waves rolled right along through their WCC schedule as the wins began to build up. With each win came more media exposure. “It was hard to keep it away,” Asbury stated. “It was such a big issue wherever we went and whenever we played.” In1992,wins28,29,30and31cameby12pointsormore.Butin order to break the record of 31 straight, Pepperdine would have to beat theteamthatheldtherecord,SanFrancisco,inthesemifinalsoftheWCCTournament in Portland, Ore. The game wouldn’t be easy by any stretch of the imagination. The Wavestooka29-28leadintointermission.Trailing65-63with29secondsleft, Jones made two free throws to tie the game. After a San Francisco turnover, the Waves had the ball for thefinalshot.Lopezwasdribblingthe ball and intended to take a desperation half-court shot for the win. Shockingly, a reach-in foul was calledonUSFwithnotimeleft.0:00on the clock, Lopez to the foul line for two shots. All that was needed was one make and the Waves would have the record. “Doug Christie came over to me and said, ‘These are yours, big guy,’ in his usual funny way,” Lopez remembered. “I stepped to the line and hit them. There was hardly any pressure because at worst we were going to overtime.” No pressure? A chance to win a game with no time on the clock. A chance to move into the WCC’s championship game. A chance to break a 36-year-old record. No pressure? Apparently not. He made both free throws. “Damin was so fundamentally sound and mentally tough,” Asbury said. “He was a great foul shooter who was oblivious to pressure. He had greatconfidenceandheunderstoodthegamethroughoureyes.” Pepperdine won 67-65 and cemented its place in WCC history. Lear scored 20, Jones had 16, Christie added 10 and Lopez chipped in eight. The record was theirs! The Waves extended it to 33 consecutive wins the next day with a 73-70 victory over Gonzaga in the WCC championship game. Christie was named the Tournament’s MVP after scoring 26 points, grabbing six rebounds, dishing out eight assists and collecting three steals. The Waves had their second consecutive WCC regular-season title and WCC tournament championship. They became the second team to go 14-0 in league and win the tournament title in the same season. Asbury

earned his second straight WCC Coach oftheYearawardwhileChristiewontheWCCPlayeroftheYearforthesecond consecutive time. Lear received his third All-WCC selection and Jones madehisfirstAll-WCCspot.Lopezwasan honorable mention All-WCC pick.

Despite losing the likes of Christie and Lear, the Waves won a third consecutive WCC regular-

season crown in 1993 behind the play ofJones,theWCCPlayeroftheYear.Theyfinishedrunner-uptoSantaClarafor the WCC tournament title. The WCC only takes into account regular-season wins in its record books, so when Pepperdine openedleagueplaywithfivewins,it gave the Waves 32 regular-season victoriesinarow(38overall)andtheundisputedrecord.Thefinalvictorycame against Saint Mary’s on January 29 at home. Ironically, the very next day (January 30) in Firestone Fieldhouse, the Waves had their streak snapped by thesameteamwhoserecordtheyhadbroken:theSanFranciscoDons,by a score of 75-72. Lopez was sidelined and did not play due to a broken hand. In the 10 games Lopez was out, the Waves went 7-3. He didn’t experience his next WCC loss in action until the defeat to Santa Clara and Steve Nash in the championship game. Lopez scored 20 points and made the All-Tournament team.

The streak was over in 1993 but the success continued for the Waves as they won another WCC Tournament title in 1994. Asbury left Pepperdineafterthe1994season,butreturnedpriortothe2008-09

season to bring back the glory to a proud program. It was a special time for all the players, coaches, staff and the entire Pepperdine community. The future hopes to be too. The numbers put up by Asbury’s earlier teams are just staggering:38consecutivewins,27 straight road triumphs, 16 straight home victories, 42-1 over 43games,46-2over48games,49-3 over 52 games and 52-4 over 56 games. During the memorable three seasons, the Waves won three WCC regular-season titles, going a combined38-4,andcapturedtwoWCC tournament championships, winning eight games and losing only to Santa Clara. Seventeen years later and “The Streak” is still the record today. Gonzaga came close in 2007 when the Bulldogs had a 30-game streak snapped at the hands of Saint Mary’s. The Zags currently own a 16-game WCC winning streak. Statisticsandnumberscommonlyreflectthesuccessofateam.But what will be remembered the most are not just the amount of consecutive wins but the tenacity, desire, hunger, passion and ultra-competitive nature that the Waves’ players and coaches possessed during one of the greatest eras in Pepperdine basketball history. Their character and competitive spirit will forever distinguish this team from the other great teams in WCC annals. “Thecamaraderiewasspecial.Theplayerswereselflesstokeepthe streak going,” Wilson reminisced. “I’m still hungry to duplicate it.”

Pepperdine basketball has utilized many home courts during its illustrious history. When Pepperdine was located in South-Central Los Angeles, the Waves played many games at the old Campus Gym. However, Pepperdine teams wandered all over the Los Angeles area seeking a home court during the 1960s and 1970s. For example, the team played at such historic sports venues as The Great Western Forum and the Los Angeles Sports Arena. Additionally, the Waves also played “home” games at the Culver City Auditorium, El Segundo High School, Morningside High School and the Pan-Pacific Auditorium. Pepperdine basketball moved into its permanent home on Nov. 30, 1973, when the Waves played their first game at Firestone Fieldhouse on the Malibu campus. Although Pepperdine lost that first game — to Pacific, by a score of 52-50 — the Waves have developed a decided homecourt advantage during the facility’s 36-year history. The intimate facility is an excellent place to view basketball and volleyball events from both courtside bleachers and upstairs theater seats. The listed capacity is 3,104, but attendance can climb closer to 5,000 for concerts, graduation ceremonies and lectures. Pepperdine owns a 36-year record of 333-142 (.701) at Firestone Fieldhouse. The Waves won a school-record 30 consecutive home games from 1984 through 1987. Named in honor of Leonard K. Firestone, the facility was officially dedicated by President Gerald R. Ford on Sept. 20, 1975. A record 4,500 fans packed Firestone Fieldhouse on Feb. 6, 1976, as Pepperdine upset No. 3-ranked UNLV by a final score of 93-91.

Al Epstein, a veteran play-by-play sportscaster, returns for his 25th season as the “Voice of the Waves.” Epstein began his affiliation with the Pepperdine basketball program during the 1985-86 campaign when he provided color commentary. Epstein assumed the play-by-play chores the following season and is beginning his 24th campaign in that capacity. On December 13, 2008, he called his 700th consecutive game for the Waves. During Epstein’s tenure with the Pepperdine basketball program, the Waves have won 390 games and advanced to postseason play 11 times, including NCAA Tournament berths in 1986, 1991, 1992, 1994, 2000 and 2002, and National Invitation Tournament bids in 1988, 1989, 1993, 1999 and 2001. Epstein expanded his association with the university during the 1999-2000 campaign when he began broadcasting selected baseball, women’s basketball and men’s and women’s volleyball events. He also serves as the public address announcer at various activities. A sports enthusiast, Epstein has broadcast numerous collegiate sporting events, including UNLV football and UCLA baseball. Additionally, Epstein is currently broadcasting high school and community college football games, and is calling the play-by-play for polo during the summer months at Will Rogers State Park in Pacific Palisades. Epstein has announced high school baseball, basketball and football on numerous media outlets throughout Southern California. A former Associated Press West Coast Award winner for his work, Epstein co-authored Play-By-Play Sportscast Training, the first and only play-by-play text. The book is a complete fundamental text that includes instruction in areas such as play-by-play, color commentary, interviewing techniques and game preparation. The book has been distributed and marketed nationally by Kendall/Hunt Publishing Company. Epstein was named the 2003 recipient of the West Coast Conference’s Sam Goldman Media Award. The award is given annually to a member of the media whose coverage of collegiate athletics in general, and the WCC in particular, shows excellence. In 2004, Epstein started A/M Sports, a production and broadcast company that produces high school and college sporting events live on the Internet. A graduate of Beverly Hills (Calif.) High School, Epstein earned a bachelor’s degree in broadcast journalism from Cal State Los Angeles. Epstein has been an instructor in announcing and sportscasting for nearly 20 years at the Columbia School of Broadcasting and has also been involved with the Sportscaster Camps of America. In January 2001, Epstein was inducted into the Southern California Jewish Sports Hall of Fame, recognizing his longtime commitment to broadcasting local collegiate and high school sports. During the summer of 2002, he was elected to the organization’s Board of Directors. A former Sports Information Director at nearby Santa Monica Community College, Epstein was a member of the famed “Temple City Kazoo Orchestra” which performed in the early 1980s and once opened for David Letterman at a local nightclub.

MISCELLANEOUS

THIS IS

“What We hope to build is much more than a beautiful campus. it Will, as you can sense, be that. but if that is all We shall have accomplished, We shall have failed. What We hope to create here, in these hills, is a spirit of place. a place Where minds Will be opened, Where lives Will be changed, Where lasting relationships Will be formed.”

— seaver college dedication, may 23, 1970

PEPPERDINE• Malibu is located right alongside the Pacific Ocean, just about 30 miles northwest of downtown Los Angeles. Pepperdine’s picturesque campus is just a few hundred yards up the hill from Malibu Beach. The Malibu area, as well as all of Southern California, offers tremendous recreation, sporting and entertainment opportunities.

• Pepperdine’s motto is “Freely ye received, freely give” (Matt. 10:8).

• Pepperdine is an independent, medium-sized Christian institution committed to the highest standards of academic excellence and Christian values.

• Approximately 8,000 students are enrolled in five colleges and schools, including Seaver College, the flagship undergraduate school of liberal arts and sciences. A bachelor’s degree is available in nearly 40 areas of study.

• Pepperdine was ranked number 56 by the U.S. News and World Report’s list of America’s best colleges in 2009 (and is the only West Coast Conference school in the top 100).

• Pepperdine was awarded the title of “Most Beautiful Campus” by the Princeton Review in 2005.

• The student-to-faculty ratio is 13:1.

UNIVERSITY• Students and alumni consistently cite the quality, accessibility and caring nature of the faculty and staff as among Pepperdine’s major strengths.

• There are 395 full-time teaching faculty, and 98% of full-time faculty have earned doctoral degrees. Students are provided with experiential opportunities, including research projects and internships so that their knowledge can be put to practice.

• 75% of Pepperdine undergraduates receive some form of financial assistance.

• Pepperdine University is respected both nationally and internationally. Students come to Pepperdine from all 50 states and more than 70 countries worldwide. Additionally, nearly 60% of Pepperdine’s undergraduate students study abroad at one point within one more than 20 international programs.

• Pepperdine was recently voted as having the seventh-best study-abroad program in the nation by the Institute of International Education. Study-abroad programs include Heidelberg, Germany; London, England; Florence, Italy; Buenos Aires, Argentina; Lausanne, Switzerland; and Shanghai, China.

• Among the 38 different majors offered, the top five at Seaver College are business administration, advertising, international studies, international business, psychology and political science.

• The University was founded in 1937 by George Pepperdine, a Christian businessman who established the Western Auto Supply Company.

ATHLETIC Pepperdine is classified as an NCAA Division I-AAA school (Division I schools that do not sponsor football), and the Waves are one of the very best of their kind. Since the I-AAA Athletic Director’s Association All-Sports Trophy was established, ranking the various schools on their postseason success, Pepperdine has finished in the top six every single time, including in first place twice (2004-05 and 2005-06).

In the annual NACDA Director’s Cup standings, which measures overall postseason success, Pepperdine has finished first among all of its West Coast Conference rivals for 13 straight years.

BaseballThe 1992 College World Series champions, Pepperdine baseball has recorded a remarkable 32 straight 30-win seasons. The Waves have advanced to the NCAA Championships 25 times, including five times under head coach Steve Rodriguez. Pepperdine has captured 17 regular-season WCC crowns and four WCC Championship Series titles. Twenty-nine alums have gone on to success in Major League Baseball.

Men’s BasketballOver the years, the Pepperdine men’s basketball program has made 13 NCAA Tournament appearances, captured at least a share of 16 conference titles, won three West Coast Conference Tournament titles and sent dozens of players into professional basketball. Head coach Tom Asbury was one of the top coaches in the WCC’s history from 1989-94 and he has returned to Malibu to help the program thrive once again.

Women’s BasketballWith seven postseason appearances in the last 11 seasons, the Pepperdine women’s basketball team has developed into a consistent winner and a contender in the West Coast Conference. The Waves made their first-ever NCAA Tournament appearance in 2000 with an at-large bid, then captured the WCC Tournament title and subsequent NCAA appearances in 2002, 2003 and 2006, the most recent coming under head coach Julie Rousseau.

Cross Country / TrackHead coach Robert Radnoti has the goal of national prominence for his cross country and track programs. The Waves were extremely strong in these sports at their South-Central campus from the 1930s to the 1960s, with All-Americans and Olympians to their credit. However, the programs were dropped briefly when the university moved its campus to Malibu. The Waves have made great strides in cross country over the years and track was added again in the past few years.

Women’s SoccerOne of the youngest programs on Pepperdine’s campus, the women’s soccer team has quickly developed into among the strongest in recent years. Since its inaugural season in 1993, the Waves have posted 10-win seasons 10 times and made the NCAA Tournament five straight years from 2001-05. Head coach Tim Ward has helped his Waves reach the NCAA’s Sweet 16 on two occasions.

SUCCESS

Men’s GolfThe 1997 NCAA men’s golf champions and a regular at the top of the West Coast Conference’s leaderboard, Pepperdine competes with the nation’s best. The Waves have won 16 WCC titles since 1987 and have 11 straight NCAA regional appearances. Pepperdine won the NCAA title in John Geiberger’s first season and have posted two other top 10 national finishes.

Women’s GolfIn the last 16 seasons since Laurie Gibbs became head coach, the Pepperdine women’s golf program has developed into a national championship contender. The Waves have won 11 WCC titles, been to 11 straight NCAA Regional tournaments and have made nine NCAA Championships appearances. The Waves finished second in the nation in 2003 and boast four top-five finishes.

Women’s Swimming & DivingFor more than 20 years, Pepperdine has thrived in the Pacific Collegiate Swimming & Diving Conference. The Waves have had nine consecutive top-five finishes under head coach Nick Rodionoff, including a program-best-tying second-place finish in 2008. Ten of Pepperdine’s 20 record times have come under Rodionoff’s watch.

Men’s TennisNo team has been more consistent then Pepperdine’s men’s tennis program, which wins the West Coast Conference title and makes the NCAA Tournament with amazing regularity. The Waves have won 40 WCC titles, including 19 in a row. Led by head coach Adam Steinberg, the Waves reached the pinnacle in 2006 and won the national championship.

Women’s TennisNo coach has been on staff at Pepperdine for more consecutive years than Gualberto Escudero, who took over as women’s tennis head coach in 1977-78. His tenure has featured WCC titles (21, including seven in a row), NCAA Tournament appearances (26, with 12 in a row) and top 25 finishes (including eight times in the nation’s top 10).

Men’s VolleyballPepperdine’s most successful program has won five NCAA men’s volleyball championships, second-most of any school, with the last title coming in 2005. The program is synonymous with head coach Marv Dunphy, who was responsible for four of the titles and has also had a long association with USA Volleyball. Pepperdine has made the NCAA Championships event on 15 occasions, including six times in the past decade.

Women’s VolleyballFor most of its history, the Pepperdine women’s volleyball program has boasted one of the nation’s top coaches in Nina Matthies, who took over in 1983. Since the West Coast Conference added women’s volleyball, the Waves have been the league’s dominant program with 10 titles. Since 1981, the Waves have made 20 trips to the NCAA Championships, including 11 in the last 12 years.

Men’s Water PoloPepperdine was the host site of the 1984 Olympic water polo competition, so it should be no surprise that the Waves excel in the sport. Pepperdine has advanced to the NCAA Championships 12 times in its history and captured the national crown in 1997. Current coach Jack Kocur was a player on that title team. The Waves have won at least a share of conference titles nine times and have finished in the top 10 in the national rankings every year since 1976.

The Pepperdine University Athletics Department is committed to a program of life skills that provides educational experiences and services in order to develop well-balanced life styles for student-athletes; to encourage growth in decision making, planning and fulfillment of career and life goals; and to enhance the quality of the student-athlete experience within the university setting.

The program is required for every incoming freshman and transfer student-athlete. Nationally recognized speakers and a life skills class are part of the program. Topics are chosen to support the following commitment purpose statements:

• Commitment to Academic Excellence — To support the academic progress of the student-athlete toward intellectual development and graduation.

• Commitment to Athletics Excellence — To build philosophical foundations for the development of athletics programs that are broad-based, equitable and dedicated to the well-being of the student athlete.

Pepperdine University’s goal is to “strengthen lives for purpose, service and leadership” and the Pepperdine Athletics Department is a strong believer in helping its student-athletes to meet this goal. The school’s athletic teams embrace the concept of volunteerism and service to the community. Teams are regularly taking on projects that will better the lives of others.

Step Forward is an annual day held each fall that is devoted to community service, when more than a thousand Pepperdine students, staff, faculty and alumni will disperse throughout Southern California in order to lend a hand to those in need. Pepperdine’s athletic teams have been front and center as part of this event, as well as other service opportunities year-round.

COMMUNITY

• Generate a student-athlete voice within the NCAA structure.

• Solicit student-athlete response to proposed NCAA legislation.

• Recommend potential NCAA legislation.• Review, react and comment to the governance structure

on legislation, activities and subjects of interest.• Actively participate in the administrative process of

athletics programs and the NCAA.• Promote a positive student-athlete image.

ATHLETICS DEPARTMENTPEPPERDINE ATHLETICS PHILOSOPHYThe Athletics Department supports and endorses the Pepperdine University Mission Statement. At Pepperdine University, student-athletes will be provided with opportunities to achieve goals as stated by the University founder, Mr. George Pepperdine. His original statement of purpose is still the guiding principle of the University: “Therefore, as my contribution to the well-being and happiness of this generation and those that follow, I am endowing this institution to help young men and women prepare themselves for a life of usefulness in this competitive world and to help them build a foundation of Christian character and faith which will survive the storms of life.”

Intercollegiate student-athletes representing Pepperdine University will be bonafide students pursuing degree programs of their choice who enjoy the opportunity to develop their athletics abilities consistent with the high standards of academic scholarship, sportsmanship, leadership and institutional tradition.

Further, it is recognized that the Pepperdine University Athletics Program:

• is an integral part of a total university spectrum involving students, faculty, administrators, staff and patrons.

• should develop character, maturity and a sense of fair play as well as athletics excellence.• should promote pride in the University among students, faculty, staff and community

supporters.• should generate revenue to support, in part, all intercollegiate athletics teams representing

the University.• should abide by the letter and spirit of the law requiring nondiscrimination on the basis of

sex, race, creed or national origin.• must abide by all rules and regulations as set forth by the institution, the governing

conferences and the National Collegiate Athletic Association.

PEPPERDINE ATHLETICS OBJECTIVESAmong the objectives of the Pepperdine University Athletics program are the following:

• to develop an awareness and understanding of the human person, including intellectual, physical, social and spiritual dimensions.

• to encourage scholarship, leadership, sportsmanship, fair play and an appreciation of opponents and amateur athletics.

• to develop teamwork, respect for authority and an appreciation of rules and regulations governing the game.

• to develop an attitude of responsibility to society.• to develop an appreciation for the beauty of physical performance and aesthetic values.• to prepare students for meaningful and satisfying careers.• to help students gain understanding and respect for individuals from other backgrounds and

cultures.• to encourage students to become involved in neighborhood and community service

activities.• to field disciplined and competitive teams seeking superior athletic performance within

established rules and ethical conduct.• to schedule appropriate competition for the athletes and teams.• to have the University’s Athletics Department recognized as an ethical leader and an

example of excellence in management, performance and conduct.• to provide superior facilities for competition, training and teaching.• to seek continual improvement in the system of intercollegiate athletics by reducing

pressures on coaches which might lead to improprieties.• to create a positive, enjoyable and fun home event experience for Pepperdine students,

faculty, staff, alumni and fans.

When the West Coast Conference first got its start back in 1952, the founders really had only one goal in mind — to create a convenient way for five Bay Area schools to play basketball. What has grown from that original vision some 57 years ago is a marvelously cohesive athletics league that is competitive at a national level in 13 sports. The eight current members of the WCC span the western coast of the United States from Canada to Mexico. Though the institutions range from the pine forests of Eastern Washington to the sun-drenched beaches of Southern California, the combined excellence in academics and athletics sets the conference apart on the national scene and draws the individual institutions together in a common mission. The WCC sponsors championships in baseball, men’s and women’s basketball, men’s and women’s cross country, men’s and women’s golf, women’s rowing, men’s and women’s soccer, men’s and women’s tennis and women’s volleyball. Originally chartered as the California Basketball Association, the five-team league included Pacific, Saint Mary’s, San Francisco, San Jose State and Santa Clara, and the first-ever men’s basketball game was played January 2, 1953. After three seasons of play under that name, the conference expanded to include Loyola Marymount and Pepperdine in 1955, and became known as the West Coast Athletic Conference in 1956. The name was shortened in 1989. The current alignment of Gonzaga University, Loyola Marymount University, Pepperdine University, University of Portland, Saint Mary’s College, University of San Diego, University of San Francisco and Santa Clara University has remained unchanged since 1979, making the WCC the

third-most stable athletic conference in the nation. Only the Ivy League and the Pacific-10 Conference have been together longer. Women’s sports were incorporated into the WCC prior to the 1985-86 season, and the league has made steady improvements in several sports, particularly basketball, soccer and volleyball. Since joining the WCC prior to the 1955-56 season, Pepperdine has claimed 129 WCC regular-season team championships in the following sports: baseball (17), men’s basketball (12), women’s basketball (4), men’s golf (16), women’s golf (11), women’s soccer (1), men’s tennis (40), women’s tennis (21) and women’s volleyball (10). Additionally, the men’s and women’s basketball team have each won the league’s postseason tournament three times. The baseball team has won the WCC Championship Series four times. The league relocated its headquarters in the summer of 1998 to San Bruno near the San Francisco International Airport. The WCC hired Jamie Zaninovich as its commissioner in March 2008.

WCC

MPSF PCSC The Mountain Pacific Sports Federation was established during the 1992-93 academic year to serve the competitive needs of member institutions from the Big West, Pacific-10, Mountain West, Western Athletic and West Coast Conferences and other selected universities in the western United States; and to provide championship competition for Division I intercollegiate Olympic sports in a conference setting. The MPSF was originally formed to provide enhanced competition and championship opportunities for sports without conference affiliation; to contain the costs of competition; and to ensure the survival of sports impacted by Title IX and other fiscal pressures. The Federation has served as an incubator for emerging women’s sports and as a safe harbor for sports impacted by conference realignments. In men’s volleyball, the Waves have won five regular season and four tournament titles. Pepperdine competes against BYU, Cal State Northridge, Hawaii, Long Beach State, Pacific, Stanford, UC Irvine, UCLA, UC San Diego, UC Santa Barbara and USC. MPSF schools have won 14 of the 17 NCAA men’s volleyball championships since the conference was created (including one by Pepperdine). In men’s water polo, the Waves have won two regular-season crowns. Pepperdine competes against California, Long Beach State, Pacific, Stanford, UC Irvine, UCLA, UC Santa Barbara and USC. MPSF schools have won all 17 NCAA men’s water polo championships since the conference was created (including one by Pepperdine).

Pepperdine has been a member of the Pacific Collegiate Swimming & Diving Conference for more than 20 years. The PCSC has allowed a number of swimming programs of all shape and size — NCAA Division I, II and III and the NAIA — who are not affiliated with a major conference to come together and participate at a championship meet. The Waves swim against Alaska-Fairbanks, Biola, California Baptist, Cal State East Bay, Chapman, Concordia, Fresno Pacific, Loyola Marymount, Northern Colorado, Seattle, Soka, UC San Diego and UC Santa Cruz. Pepperdine has always been among the top programs in the PCSC and tied its best-ever finish with a second-place showing in 2008.

WAVE GREATS

OLYMPIANSSince 1956, Pepperdine has developed a distinguished association with the Olympic Games, as more than 40 members of the university community have gone on to participate in the Olympics as either a player or a coach. Pepperdine athletes have won 17 medals (seven gold) as part of 12 different teams.
