Annie Pfeiffer Chapel, completed in 1941, was the first of Wright's designs at Florida Southern College.

Florida Southern is home to the world’s only Frank Lloyd Wright-designed planetarium.

Florida Southern College Frank Lloyd Wright's "Child of the Sun"

Founded by the United Methodist Church, Florida Southern College is one of the oldest private colleges in the state, tracing its beginnings to a small seminary in Orlando in 1885. The tie to its founding church has remained constant and is today, a proud part of the College's heritage and a bright beacon for the future. Florida Southern moved to Lakeland in the heart of Florida's citrus belt in 1922 and began the construction of a campus that would eventually become a national landmark. The beautiful 100-acre campus, on the north shore of Lake Hollingsworth, includes the world's largest collection of buildings by master architect Frank Lloyd Wright. Florida Southern’s West Campus, now known throughout the world, actually had its inception in the mind of Dr. Ludd M. Spivey, president of the college from 1925-1957.

In 1935 he conceived the idea of an ultra-modern campus, designed by the world's leading architect. Ground was broken two years later for the first building in the Wright collection, the Annie Pfeiffer Chapel. What Frank Lloyd Wright created on the campus is amazing. His original work is still as modern and exciting as the newest buildings still on many architect's drawing boards. It is, perhaps, symbolic that the greatest concentration of his genius should be located at a small, private institution of higher learning. Perhaps he describes it best, "...out of the ground and into the light, a child of the sun...the college of tomorrow."

The Thad Buckner Building is home to the FrankLloyd Wright “Child of the Sun” Visitor Center.

The Danforth Chapel is one of two chapels on campus designed by Frank Lloyd Wright.

The Nina B. Hollis Wellness Center houses a full-sized basketball court, weight and aerobic rooms, and a student lounge and is adjacent to an NCAA regulation size swimming pool.

Frank Lloyd Wright often visitedFlorida Southern during his 20-year relationship with the college.

A grouping of three residence halls, thePublix Commons are close to just abouteverything on the Florida Southerncampus. All three buildings offer suite-style living in which six students each havetheir own rooms and share a living areaand bathroom. The Publix Commons alsois home to Florida Southern’s Greekorganizations.

Florida Southern’s recently renovated Water Dome, designed byFrank Lloyd Wright, made its premiere performance on October25, 2007. The Water Dome features 74 jets powering streams ofwater 45-feet into the air. It took almost 260,000 gallons of waterto fill the basin of the dome and at full power 4,800 gallons arewater are pumped per minute.

All of Florida Southern College’sresidence halls offer wireless accessin the common lobby areas and everyroom offers cable TV and is wired forinternet access. In addition, wirelesshotspots on campus include the RouxLibrary, TûTû’s Cyber Cafe (whichoffers Starbucks products), Wynee’sBistro (our cafeteria), and the Nina B.Hollis Wellness Center and pool area.

As one of the four originalbuildings on the FSC campus,Joseph-Reynolds Hall (“JR”)offers one of the best views oncampus. It sits atop a hilloverlooking Lake Hollingsworth.Community life is big here - thewomen of JR form groups withinthe building as a whole and alsowithin the “wings” and smallerhallways. JR and its companionhall, Spivey, are located in thecenter of campus between EdgeHall and Ordway and serve mainlyas first-year female residencehalls.

Wesley Hall is one of two new twin residence halls at FSC, and opened in the fall of 2008. The second building, Nicholas Hall,opened in the fall of 2009. Each new residence hall includes 115 bedrooms with views of Lake Hollingsworth, meetingrooms, student lounges, kitchens, and study spaces.

Anne B. Kerr, Ph.D. College President Since her unanimous appointment as its 17th president in 2004, Dr. Kerr has provided Florida Southern College with extraordinary vision and leadership that is enhancing the student experience and increasing the College’s national prominence. Under her guidance, the institution has

renewed its commitment to educating the whole person -- academically, socially, spiritually, and physically -- so that students leave prepared to make a positive and consequential impact on our world. Early in her tenure, Dr. Kerr led a comprehensive Strategic Plan designed to enrich all facets of the College’s student-centered culture. She is dedicated to enhancing a student life culture that provides opportunities for active learning and leadership; promoting a scholarly environment where professors have outstanding records of achievement that support innovative, engaged, and personalized instruction; and to strengthening further the College’s outstanding scholar-athlete program that models the highest standards of NCAA Division II athletics. As part of her quest for excellence, Dr. Kerr commissioned a master plan that outlines the College’s vision for the campus

and includes numerous facility transformations. These include the newly completed Barnett Residential Life Center and the soon-to-be completed state-of-the-art Christoverson Humanities Building, both designed by world-renowned architect Robert A. M. Stern; TǔTǔ's Cyber Café in the Roux Library and the adjacent McKay Archives Center; the expansion of wireless Internet access, campus-wide technology upgrades, and the Rinker Technology Center, currently under construction; renovations to the student dining facility and residence halls; as well as a restoration of our world renowned Frank Lloyd Wright designed campus. Prior to assuming the presidency at Florida Southern, Dr. Kerr was Vice President for Advancement at both Rollins College and the University of Richmond. She earned her bachelor’s degree from Mercer University and her master’s and doctoral degrees from the Florida State University. She has held a number of community volunteer leadership roles and currently serves on the boards of SunTrust Bank Central Florida and All Saints’ Academy. An avid supporter of the arts, she is the current president of the Board of Trustees of the Polk Museum of Art. She is in the first year of her term as president of the Sunshine State Conference. She and her husband, Dr. Roy Kerr, have a fifteen-year-old son Ed. Roy Kerr has authored two books about baseball entitled “The Loving of the Game” (2007), and “Sliding Billy Hamilton: The Life and Times of Baseball’s First Great Leadoff Hitter” (2009).

Pete Meyer Athletic Director

In 2008-09, Pete Meyer served his first year as the Director of Athletics at Florida Southern College. Moccasin teams produced three Sunshine State Conference championships (men's cross country, men's basketball, softball) and a fifth-place national finish in women's golf. Eleven FSC teams went to NCAA postseason competition. Named to the position February 21, 2008, he officially assumed his duties July 1, 2008, when Lois Webb retired. Since 1972, he is just the fourth person to occupy the position of athletics director at Florida Southern - following Hal Smeltzly (1972-2000), Mike Roberts (2000-01) and Webb (2001-08). Meyer was the Moccasins’ head baseball coach from 2002 through 2008. In the fall of 2008, Meyer was given the additional title of Dean of Wellness, as the operation of the Hollis Wellness Center, as well as the water ski program and campus intramurals, also fall under his direction. Meyer, who has been at Florida Southern since 1998, had served as assistant athletics director for Webb since February of 2006, in addition to maintaining his baseball coaching duties. In his position as assistant athletics director, he was responsible for acquiring major gifts for the athletic department that included funding and equipment for the athletics weight room, and upgrading the baseball and men's basketball locker rooms. He coordinated all of the athletic department’s fundraising efforts, coordinated athletic facilities, and served as game administrator for various home events. He also served as

Florida Southern’s representative on the Sunshine State Conference Marketing Committee. As baseball coach, Meyer spent six full seasons as head coach, keeping the Moccasin program among the elite in NCAA Division II. In 2005, he guided the Moccasins to their ninth NCAA Division II national title with a 51-11 record, and was the American Baseball Coaches Association Division II Coach-of-the-Year. In addition to his national coaching honors from the ABCA, Meyer also was South Region, Sunshine State Conference, and Florida Diamond Club (scouting organization) Coach-of-the-Year. His head coaching record at Florida Southern was 257-111-1, while his overall record as a head coach was 296-141-1. Thirty-four Moccasin baseball players were drafted or signed professional contracts during Meyer’s tenure at FSC. Before officially assuming the reigns of head coach, Meyer had served for over three years as Florida Southern’s top assistant coach under Chuck Anderson. He was also the program’s recruiting coordinator. Prior to joining the FSC coaching staff, Meyer spent five seasons at Valdosta State, working under the legendary head coach, Tommy Thomas. Before his stint at Valdosta State, Meyer was head baseball coach at Oglethorpe University in Atlanta, where he coordinated the start of the school’s Division III baseball program in 1991. He served as a graduate assistant at Valdosta State from 1988-90, while earning his M. Ed. in physical education. A four-year baseball letterman at the College of Wooster in Ohio, Meyer graduated in 1987 with a B.A. in speech communication. Meyer is married to the former Julie Newnum. The couple has three children, 21-year old Ross, 19-year old Mitchell and 18-year old Megan.

Among the many former Moccasin basketball players who’ve gone on to successful careers off the court is Fred Lewis, who played at Florida Southern from 1965-69. He was named the 1969 FSC Honor Walk Student, the highest award given to an FSC student, and earned an NCAA post-graduate scholarship that same year. Lewis later graduated with high honors from the University of Miami School of Law, and has served on the Florida Supreme Court since 1998. In March of 2006, he was named Chief Justice.

BASKETBALL – “SOUTHERN STYLE”

EDUCATION FIRST… The Florida Southern athletic department is proud to graduate 84 percent of its student-athletes, according to the latest NCAA Division II Student-Athlete Success Rate. That figure is well above the national average, and the Sunshine State Conference as a whole boasts the highest graduation rate of any Division II conference in the country. An Academic Athletic Advising Office has been established to help Florida Southern student-athletes find the right balance between academic, athletic, social and personal development, and to prepare them for life after their college career. SUCCESSFUL CAREERS… All Florida Southern students have access to job opportunities through the college’s career center. Throughout the academic year, business executives visit the campus to conduct interviews with senior students. COMMUNITY SUPPORT… Florida Southern is proud to have broad-based community support through the Sixth Man Club. Members can meet the coaches and players through monthly Sixth Man Club Luncheons. Reserved seating, a hospitality room during all home games, and an end of the year banquet are other benefits of this fine organization.

EXCITING HOME GAMES… When the Mocs are in town, fans can count on an exciting night of basketball. From a high-powered offense to a stingy defense, the Mocs are proud of their play in Jenkins Field House. Student organizations are encouraged to support the Mocs through various game night pro-motions and contests. SEE THE WORLD… When the Moccasins take a road trip, they take the word “trip” seriously. In past seasons, the Mocs have visited Alaska, Colorado, Costa Rica, Hawaii, New England, New York City, Montana, Oregon, Puerto Rico, Washington, D.C., the Virgin Islands and the Bahamas.

A fall break trip to Costa Rica during the 2004-05 season gave the Moccasins time for both basketball and whitewater rafting. The Mocs also visited Hawaii as recently as the 2007-08 season.

BASKETBALL – “SOUTHERN STYLE”

HIGH QUALITY COMPETITION… The Mocca-sins annually play a challenging schedule loaded with Division II powers, in addition to games against some of the nation’s top Division I programs. This high quality competition enables Florida Southern to better prepare for the always competitive Sunshine State Conference.

PROFESSIONAL MEDICAL CARE… Every student-athlete at Florida Southern College is entitled to quality medical care while participating as a member of an athletic team. The athletic training and medical staff coordinates and delivers professional and comprehensive preventive care, treatment,

rehabilitation and counseling services to all FSC student-athletes. The athletic training staff is comprised of four full-time nationally-certified and state-licensed athletic trainers.

TOP NOTCH FACILITIES… Florida Southern plays its home games at George W. Jenkins Field House, located in the center of campus. It houses three full-sized basketball courts with locker rooms, weight room, equipment room, training facilities and offices. The Moccasin locker room features personalized lockers and benches. A WINNING TRADITION… The Moccasins have been playing basketball since the early 1920’s, and they’re used to winning. No school has won the SSC more than Florida Southern, and the Mocs have been to the NCAA Tournament 21 times since 1980.

The Moccasins have faced the likes of Florida, Miami,Purdue and Illinois in recent seasons, and this year will take on the Miami Hurricanes again, as well as theUniversity of South Florida in a pair of exhibition games.

One of Dick Vitale’s first broadcasts for ESPN was the 1981 NCAA Division II National Championship Game, won by Florida Southern and head coach Hal Wissel. Sam Rosen (at left) was also part of that broadcast team.

Head Coach Linc Darner

The 2009-10 season is Linc Darner’s fourth as head coach of the Florida Southern men’s basketball team, and in each of the previous two, the Moccasins have won both the Sunshine State Conference regular season and SSC Tournament titles, and earned the top seed in the NCAA Division II South Region Tournament. Those accomplishments give Darner a record of 61-36 record at Florida

Southern, and an overall career record of 135-81 in seven years as a head coach at the college level. He’s the 22nd head coach in the program’s 83-year history, but only the seventh since 1956. Florida Southern’s conference championships in 2008 and 2009 also earned Darner two SSC Coach-of-the-Year awards, making him the third Moccasin basketball coach to win that honor in back-to-back seasons, joining Hal Wissel in 1979 and ’80, and Gordon Gibbons in 1996 and ’97. They give the 38-year old Darner a total of three coach-of-the-year awards, when combined with the one he earned at St. Joseph’s College (IN) in the Great Lakes Valley Conference in 2006. Darner also became the first Florida Southern coach selected to coach in the annual NABC Division II All-Star Game, guiding the East Team during last year’s event in Springfield, Massachusetts. Last year saw the Mocs go 29-7 under Darner, the most wins for Florida Southern since 2000, and the third highest total in the program’s 82-year history. Among those 29 wins were two in the South Region Tournament, the Mocs’ first NCAA playoff wins since 2000 as well. That enabled Florida Southern to finish the season as South Region runner-up and ranked #11 in the final NABC national rankings. In addition to their 29-7 overall record, the Mocs were also 13-3 in the Sunshine State Conference, equaling the most SSC wins in team history. They overcame a loss to Rollins in their SSC opener in early December, but took control of the race at the end of January after beating the Tars in a rematch. They owned at least a share of the lead the rest of the way and clinched the title before the final regular season game for the second year in a row. The Mocs then won their first two games in the SSC Tournament by a combined 60 points before edging Rollins in the championship game, 77-76 in overtime. While Darner collected his own award as the SSC Coach-of-the-Year, several of his players also took home hardware after the season. Three Moccasins were named to the all-conference team, one other was named to the All-SSC Tournament Team, and Rob Eldridge was voted Second Team All-South Region for the second year in a row. In addition to those honors, eight Moccasins were on the SSC Commissioner’s Honor Roll, the most in team history. While last year may have been a remarkable season for the Moccasins, Darner’s first two years at Florida Southern may have been even more so. After an 8-20 record in year

one, the Moccasins put together a stunning turnaround in year two, going 24-9 overall, and winning the Sunshine State Conference with a 12-4 league record. The Mocs also won the SSC Tournament, were ranked #1 in the South Region at the end of the year, and finished at #17 in the national poll. Considering the history of the program, those results may have seemed like normal accomplishments, but it was the way they were done that was noteworthy, and ultimately earned Darner his first SSC Coach-of-the-Year award. Florida Southern became the first team in SSC history to go from “worst-to-first”, and was one of only two schools in the country at any NCAA level to accomplish that feat in 2008. Their nine-game improvement in the SSC standings was also the best in league history, and the Moccasins were one of only five teams in any NCAA division that went from 20 losses to 20 wins that season. Even better, they accomplished all of that by facing a regular season schedule that included five games against different ranked opponents. The Mocs beat three of them, matching their best total in one season in the last 20 years. They also played nine games against teams that qualified for the NCAA Division II Tournament, and took national runner-up Augusta State to overtime before falling, 76-75. Remarkable turnarounds are nothing new to Darner, who accomplished the same thing at St. Joseph’s College in Rensselaer, Indiana, where he coached four seasons (2002-06) before coming to Florida Southern. The Pumas saw their win total increase each year under Darner, culminating with a 31-3 record in his final season, the best in school history. When he first arrived at St. Joseph’s in 2002, the Pumas had recorded just one winning season in the previous 10 years, playing in a league that features perennial national powers Kentucky Wesleyan and Southern Indiana, as well as 2006 national runner-up SIU-Edwardsville. Darner’s first St. Joseph’s team went 11-17, before improving to 15-13 the following year, and 17-12 in the 2004-05 season. His final team at St. Joseph’s not only set school records for wins, points, and 3-point field goals, it also earned its first conference title since 1992, its first outright title since 1979, and made its first ever appearance

*Received NCAA Tournament bid

in the GLVC Tournament championship game, where the Pumas defeated Quincy, 68-67. That earned St. Joseph’s the top seed in the Great Lakes Region Tournament, the Pumas’ first NCAA bid in 14 years. The Pumas ranked 17th in the nation in scoring (84.8 points per game), and their .912 winning percentage was fourth among all college teams at any NCAA or NAIA level. St. Joseph’s was ranked as high as #2 in the nation, and among their 31 victories was an 81-76 win over eventual national champion Winona State (MN). The Pumas’ accomplishments in 2006 earned Darner the Great Lakes Valley Conference Coach-of-the-Year award, as well as the Great Lakes Region Coach-of-the-Year award from the National Association of Basketball Coaches. Two of his players were named first team all-conference and made the all-region team as well, including GLVC Player-of-the-Year Sullivan Sykes, St. Joseph’s first basketball All-American in 18 years. In the 92-year history of St. Joseph’s men’s basketball, Darner ranks fourth in career wins, and third in career winning percentage among those with at least four seasons. His teams averaged better than 80 points a game during all four years of his tenure, and St. Joseph’s was one of only 11 Division II teams to do that each of those four seasons. Darner didn’t leave his high-scoring offense behind when he came to Florida Southern in the spring of 2006. Though it took a couple of years for the Moccasins to adjust to a new offense, they too have become one of the country’s top scoring teams. Nine times in the last two years Florida Southern has reached triple digits, something it did only nine times the previous seven years. In 2008, the Mocs finished the year ranked #14 in Division II in scoring offense with an 83.5 average that represented a 16 percent improvement over Darner’s first year at the helm. It was the best 1-year improvement for the Mocs in 52 years, and they didn’t stop there. Last year’s team was 19th in scoring, but saw its average rise to 84.0 points per game, the highest for Florida Southern in 21 years. Florida Southern’s scoring average the last two years illustrates the type of up-tempo offense Darner runs, and 3-point shooting is a big part of it. After making 159 long-range baskets in his first year, the Mocs have exploded by making over 649 in the last two.

In 2008, the Mocs finished fourth in the country in 3-point field goals per game with a school and SSC-record 10.3 average, and their .407 shooting percentage behind the arc was good for ninth in Division II. With a total of 340 “triples”, the Moccasins shattered the previous school record by 134. Last year’s team drained over 300 more from long range and led the Sunshine State Conference for the second year in a row. They also led the SSC in turnovers forced for a second consecutive year. Before his first head coaching job at St. Joseph’s, Darner spent four seasons (1998-2002) as an assistant coach at Ashland University in Ohio, serving as that program’s recruiting coordinator. During that time, Ashland was 72-38. Prior to that, he had brief stints as an assistant coach at Murray State, where he helped the Racers win two Ohio Valley Conference Championships, and at Lincoln Memorial (TN) University. As a collegiate player, Darner was a four-year letterman for coach Gene Keady at Purdue University, where the Boilermakers went 82-42 in his career (1990-94) and earned three NCAA Tournament bids. He was the first player under Keady to be named a team captain twice, and was a teammate of future NBA #1 draft pick Glenn Robinson, and current Purdue head coach Matt Painter. In 1991, following his freshman year at Purdue, Darner played in the United States Olympic Festival where he helped the North team to a gold medal. As a senior, he captained Purdue to a 29-5 record, the Big Ten Championship, and a berth in the NCAA Division I regional finals. A 6-4 guard with the Boilermakers, Darner played in 124 games in his career, a figure that ranked fifth in school history at the time of his graduation. In 1991, he set a school freshman record for 3-point field goals made with 32, and he ranks among the career leaders at Purdue in 3-pointers, as well as 3-point field goal percentage. Darner graduated from Purdue in the spring of 1995 from the Krannert School of Business with a bachelor’s degree in management. He and his wife, Kristen, reside in Lakeland with their nine-year old daughter, Layne, and their son Tate, who was born in January of 2006.

Assistant Coach David Burkett

The newest member of the Florida Southern coaching staff is David Burkett, who joined the Moccasins in the summer of 2008 and is now in his second season on the sideline. Though he’s relatively new to Florida Southern, he’s a familiar face to head coach Linc Darner after serving on Darner’s staff at St. Joseph’s College from 2004-06. Just prior to his arrival at Florida

Southern, Burkett was an assistant coach at Drury University in Missouri, a Great Lakes Valley Conference rival of St. Joseph’s. During the 2007-08 season, he helped the Panthers go 25-6 overall, and win the GLVC Western Division with a 15-4 record. In just its third year as a member of the league, Drury went on to win the GLVC Tournament, finish the regular season ranked #11 in the country, and earn the #3 seed in the NCAA Great Lakes Regional. Prior to his one season at Drury, Burkett spent three years at St. Joseph’s in Indiana, including the 2006-07 season as the Pumas’ top assistant under coach Richard Davis. He helped the team to a 16-12 record and second-place finish in the GLVC East despite losing all five starters and former head coach Linc Darner from the previous season. In his three years at St. Joseph’s, the Pumas were 64-27. A native of Bloomfield, Indiana, Burkett graduated from Indiana University in 2003. However, his coaching career began even before that. For three years, Burkett was an assistant under Ron McBride at Bloomfield High School and helped the Cardinals to a berth in the 2002 regional finals. Burkett was also an outstanding high school player in the state of Indiana, graduating from Eastern (Greene) High School in 1998. He was a four-year letterman in both basketball and cross-country, and was All-Southwest Indiana Athletic Conference his final three seasons on the hardwood. Burkett’s mother, Tami, is still a resident of Bloomfield, Indiana. He also has two brothers, Matt and Jonathan, with Jonathan working in college athletics at the University of North Texas, where he serves as the Director of the Mean Green Club.

Assistant Coach Mike Mazur

In his third year on the Moccasin coaching staff is Mike Mazur, a native of Highland, Indiana. Mazur is a 2007 graduate of St. Joseph’s College in Rensselaer, Indiana where he worked under current Florida Southern head coach Linc Darner for three years. During that time, he was part of a program that improved its win total every year, including the 2005-06 season in which the Pumas finished 31-3 to set a school record for wins, and captured the Great Lakes Valley Conference title. During the 2006-07 season, while completing his

undergraduate work, Mazur served as a student assistant under new St. Joseph’s coach Richard Davis, helping the Pumas go 16-12. He graduated with a degree in history, and minored in physical education. Mazur also coached basketball at the AAU level and is an umpire in the National Softball Association.

Assistant Coach Blake Williams

Now in his fourth year as an assistant coach, and seventh year with the program, is Blake Williams, a three-year letterman for the Moccasins from 2003-06. In his three years on the court at Florida Southern, Williams played in 84 games, starting 62 of them, and was a two-time member of the Sunshine State Conference Commissioner’s Honor Roll. The 6-5 forward averaged 5.0 points and 5.8 rebounds per game over his career, specializing in defense and rebounding. Williams initially came to Florida Southern after playing his freshman year at Daytona Beach Community College. In 2003-04, he played in every game for the Moccasins and fell one point shy of becoming only the third Moccasin in the previous 25 years to record a double-double in his Florida Southern debut. He moved into the starting lineup in mid-December, and averaged 4.7 points and 5.3 boards, finishing 11th in the SSC in rebounding average. As a junior, Williams again played in every game as a part-time starter, once again excelling on the defensive end of the court, as well as rebounding. His biggest moment, though, came in an overtime game against south region champion Lynn University when he hit a career-high three, 3-pointers, including the game-winner at the buzzer to give the Mocs a 66-65 win.

Williams’ senior year was his best, as he averaged 6.1 points and a team-best 7.5 rebounds per game. He had seven games with double figure rebounds, including an 18-point, 15-rebound effort in a 77-71 win over regional rival Florida Gulf Coast. He was sixth in the SSC in rebounding average, and among the national leaders for much of the season. A native of Cocoa Beach on Florida’s east coast, Williams was a four-year starter at Cocoa Beach High School where he scored over 1,300 points in his career. He comes from a basketball family that includes his younger brother, Braxton, a fourth-year junior on this year’s Florida Southern roster, and his father, Joe, a former college coach. Joe spent 22 years as a head coach at Jacksonville, Furman and Florida State, taking all three of those schools to the NCAA Tournament. His 1970 team at Jacksonville advanced to the NCAA finals against UCLA. Blake Williams earned his bachelor’s degree in history in the spring of 2006, and earned his master’s in teaching in 2008. He enjoys surfing in his spare time, and has been a long board surfer for over 10 years.

DID YOU KNOW? In over 80 years of basketball at Florida Southern, only four freshmen have ever led the Mocs in scoring in their first college game. Of those four, only Dominic Girod, a redshirt freshman in 2004, did so by himself. The most interesting player among that group may have been Jim Stephenson, a 6-5 forward who scored 20 points in a 96-64 win over Clearwater Christian at the start of the 1976-77 season. The 1976 high school player-of-the-year in Delaware, Stephenson came off the bench that night to make seven field goals, go six-for-six from the line and pull down nine rebounds. His 20 points tied him with Marshall Lester for the team lead.

Stephenson’s career didn’t go much further though. He reached double figures only one more time in his career, finished that season averaging 5.6 points and 3.6 rebounds per game, and did not play at Florida Southern after his freshman year. Stephenson, however, remains the only Moccasin freshman to ever score 20 points in his college debut.

When Randall Herbst was hired at Mary University in North Dakota last May, he became the seventhformer Moccasin assistant now serving as a head coach at the collegiate level. Herbst also spent the lasttwo years as an assistant coach at Nebraska-Omaha where he helped the Mavericks advance to theNCAA Tournament in 2008.

Closer to home, three former Moccasin assistants are still in Florida, and two of them are coaching atother schools in the Sunshine State Conference: Cesar Odio at Barry University and Mike Madagan atSaint Leo University. Meanwhile, Sean Hanrahan has put together a 61-33 mark at Warner Universitysince being hired in 2006.

Among the other former Moccasin assistants, Kirk Speraw has led UCF to fourappearances in the NCAA Division I Tournament in his 15 seasons at thatschool, and has won over 250 games for the Golden Knights. At the Universityof Mobile (AL), Joe Niland has averaged over 21 wins a year since beingnamed head coach in 1999-00, took the Rams to the NAIA national semi-finalsin 2004 and a 30-win season in 2005.

After three years as an assistant coach, Gordon Gibbons spent 10 years asFlorida Southern’s head coach and won a school-record 246 games. He’snow at Clayton State (GA), where he’s won 155 more games over the lasteight seasons, with trips to the Division II Tournament in 2007 and 2008.

DID YOU KNOW?

DID YOU KNOW?From 1923-38, no one held the titleof head basketball coach for morethan two years. Among those earlycoaches were two player-coachesand even the college president’sbrother.

Shortly after Southern Collegemoved to Lakeland in 1922, a bas-ketball team was begun and the first coach on recordwas J.J. Alderman, the brother of college presidentRhenus Alderman. He led the Southerners, as they werecalled, to a modest 4-9 record over two years.

Coach Alderman opened each of his two seasons at thehelm with wins over Lake Wales American Legion. Hisother two wins were against the University of Florida.Alderman’s 2-4 mark against the big school fromGainesville was especially impressive, considering thenext ten Moccasin coaches were a combined 1-14 againstthe Gators.

As for the two player-coaches, both had winningrecords in their one season on the sideline/court. “Doc”Melton, the Mocs’ only senior in 1933, went 12-7 andthe 12 wins stood as a school record until 1950. Meltonwas followed by Johnny Woodall, who led Southern toa 7-5 record in 1934, and was also their leading scorer.

Florida Southern has played in 32 different states,including trips to Alaska and Hawaii. The Mocs havealso visited Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands and theBahamas for regular season games.

YEAR-BY-YEAR RECORDS (1923-71)

DID YOU KNOW ... ?The Moccasins joined the Sunshine State Conferenceas charter members for the 1975-76 season but theyhave actually been a part of six different leagues since1931.

The first league the Mocs belonged to was the PalmettoConference for the 1930-31 season. They were joinedby Miami, Stetson, Rollins, Howard (now Samford inAlabama) and Georgia State College (now Abraham-Baldwin JC).

In addition to one season in the Palmetto Conference,the Mocs also spent one year in the Lakeland City League(1935-36), one in the Big 5 Conference (1940-41), sixin the Dixie Conference (1948-54), and 15 in the FloridaIntercollegiate Conference (1932-33 and 1954-68).

The Lakeland City League title was shared by Southernand Battery D, a team formed by the local NationalGuard; both had a league record of 9-3. In addition tothose two teams, the LCL also had squads put togetherby a local dairy (Sargeants’ Dairy) and a dry-cleaningbusiness (Bon-Ton Cleaners). The four-team league wasformed by former Moccasin center Clifton Murrell, whowas the basketball coach for Lakeland High School atthe time. The teams played each other four times, withSouthern and Battery D splitting their games head-to-head. They decided against a fifth “playoff game” andelected to share the league title.

FLORIDA SOUTHERN’S COLORSFlorida Southern’s red, white and

blue uniforms are unique among col-lege programs in the state of Floridabut it wasn’t always that way.

In the early days of FloridaSouthern basketball, the teamwas often known as the “Blue andWhite”, but in 1929 coach JessieBurbage made a change in the Southernuniforms. The Lakeland Evening Ledger re-ported on January 13 of that year, “CoachJess already has a “colorful” aggregation, aswitness the dazzling splendor and bounteousbeauty of the new red, white and blue uniformsissued to the Mocs last week. Those fetchinggarments are next year’s model of fashionableattire for the discriminating, and reveal CoachBurbage’s taste for things luxuriously sartorial.”

As part of the uniforms, the Moccasins woreblue trunks with a single white stripe leadingdown from the waistband on either side.

WHY MOCCASINS?Florida Southern first used the nick-

name “Moccasins” or “Mocs” in 1926,shortly after the college’s move to

Lakeland in 1922. Prior to that,the football and basketball teamswere simply referred to as the

“Southerners” since the school wasknown as Southern College.

The water moccasin, or cotton-mouth snake, was abundant in the nearby

lakes and since the moccasin is one of thefiercest of all snakes, the college adopted the

moniker for its athletic teams.A male water moccasin can grow up to 1.8

meters (74 inches) in length, and though its venomis considered relatively mild compared to theworld’s other poisonous snakes, its bite is stillextremely painful.

A LITTLE ABOUT THE MOCCASINS

One of the most memorable seasons in FloridaSouthern history came in 1949-50 under headcoach Dick Morland, and it resulted in the Moc-casins’ first ever trip to a regional tournament.It was the second year of the Dixie Conference,a league that included future Division I schoolsFlorida State and Mercer. The Mocs had an up-and-down season that saw them finish 14-10 over-all and 3-5 in the conference. It earned themthe #6 seed in the Dixie Conference Tournamentplayed in Tallahassee.

Despite going in as huge underdogs, the Mocsswept through the tournament, beating the #3,#2 and #1 seeds in succession. They did so largelybehind the play of tournament MVP Basil “Rocky”Pegg. The junior guard, who had served in theNavy during World War II, averaged 16.0 pointsa game in the tournament, including 20 in the semi-finals against Florida State and 20 in the cham-pionship game against Mercer. He also snapped a53-53 tie in the opening round on a free throwwith 15 seconds remaining to upset Howard (AL).

By winning the Dixie Conference Tournament, theMoccasins earned an automatic bid to the NAIBDistrict 25 Tournament, hosted by the Univer-sity of Tampa. Originally, college administratorswould not allow the team to participate, feelingit would interfere with Founders’ Day activitiesthat were already planned. However, the teamwas allowed to go after a student protest on itsbehalf. It was a short stay though as the Mocslost to Georgia Teacher’s College (now GeorgiaSouthern), 64-50, in the opening round.

DID YOU KNOW ... ?Moccasin fans probably do know, but it’s worthrepeating: the Florida Southern Moccasins havedominated the Sunshine State Conference sincethe league was founded in 1975. Not only havethe Mocs won a record 18 regular season SSCChampionships (12 outright) and 19 SSC Tour-nament titles (more than the rest of the leaguecombined), they’ve also won more SSC regularseason games by a wide margin. Following is abreakdown of the all-time records of SSCschools in league play. For the record, the Mocs’58-13 mark in SSC Tournament play is also thebest for any league school.

DID YOU KNOW ... ?Though most games againstschools from outside the UnitedStates are not countable in ateam’s won-loss record, FloridaSouthern has played three suchgames in its history. Two wereagainst the University ofToronto in 1959 and 1964; theother was against WaterlooCollege in 1975.

The Moccasins split their twomeetings with Toronto, winningat home in 1959 by a score of69-66, and losing 91-82 on theroad as part of a 5-game tripto Upstate New York andCanada in January of 1964.

When the Moccasins hostedWaterloo on January 7, 1975,the school from Ontario was thetop-ranked college basketballteam in Canada at the time. TheMocs prevailed, however, whenJohn Edwards hit a shot at thebuzzer to provide them withan 80-79 win. Waterloo wenton to win the Canadian nationalchampionship later that year.

Florida Southern’s spacious field house named for George W.Jenkins, opened its doors in December of 1965, allowing Moccasinbasketball to reach new heights. It was designed by Nils SchweizerAssociates of Winter Park and built at the cost of just over $500,000.Since Schweizer had worked under Frank Lloyd Wright when themaster architect had originally designed many of the buildings oncampus, it was felt he would design a gym that would blend in wellwith the rest of the college.

Jenkins Field House has a main floor encompassing threebasketball courts and seating is available for approximately 2,500fans. A basement section measuring 126 by 110 feet houses lockerrooms, training room, equipment room, physical education officesand storage areas. Recent additions have included a conferenceroom, additional women’s lockerrooms and athletic offices.

The George Jenkins Field House is one of the largest buildingson the Florida Southern College campus, measuring 40,000 squarefeet. The structure utilized the steel framework of three B-47 bomberhangars from the nearby MacDill Air Force Base, located in Tampa,Florida.

The spacious field house has allowed Florida Southern to be thesite of numerous NCAA Regional and Quarterfinal basketballtournaments and in 1983 served as the site for the NCAA Women’sVolleyball National Championship. Jenkins Field House has alsohosted the Sunshine State Conference Men’s Basketball Tournamenteight times, most recently in 2003.

The members of the College’s Board of Trustees unanimouslyvoted to name the field house for George Jenkins, president of PublixSuper Markets, Inc. in appreciation of his generous support of theCollege, both as a benefactor and a friend.

Mr. Jenkins’ union with the College started in 1956 when heserved as honorary chancellor of Florida Southern, an honor reservedfor prominent men and women in various walks of life.

In 1957, the College awarded him an honorary degree of Doctorof Laws, citing him as one of Lakeland’s outstanding citizens and as“a leader of Florida in the support of humanitarian causes, ofeducation and of community progress.”

The Moccasins in Jenkins Field House Since moving into their current homein December of 1965, the Moccasins havehad one of the best home court records inall of NCAA Division II. Over the last 43years, Florida Southern has posted arecord of 598-167 at home for a .782 winningpercentage. The Moccasins played their first gamein their new home on December 3, 1965,defeating Rollins College 89-59 in the firstgame of that year’s Citrus Invitational.George Jenkins himself was on hand forthe honorary first tip between the Mocs’Dan Doherty and the Tars’ Millard Nixon.The building was so new, the Mocs hadnever set foot on the court prior to warmingup that night for their game against Rollins.Since the permanent bleachers had yet toarrive, the college borrowed temporarybleachers from the Lakeland Parks and

Recreation Department, and only had about 1,200 seats available forthe first game. Attendance was announced at 1,600. Florida Southern would win its first six games in Jenkins FieldHouse and finished 13-4 at home that year. Only twice since JenkinsField House has opened have they had a losing record at home andnot once in the last 39 years. Last year’s team went 16-2 at home, andat one point from 1998-2000, the Mocs won 32 consecutive gameson their home court.

Jenkins Field House has also served as the host site for severalNCAA Regional and National Tournaments, including nine SouthRegion Men’s Basketball Tournaments. It also served as a practicefacility for the Division II Men’s Basketball Elite Eight in 2003.
