2 Nike/Phoenix Tournament of Champions 2007
O n behalf of Nike, Inc., Nike High School
Basketball, and the Chandler Unified
School District (CUSD), welcome to
Phoenix for the 2007 Nike Tournament of
Champions. Many individuals and organizations are
responsible for once again making the Tournament of
Champions the greatest high school basketball event
in the United States – and possibly the world. I sin-
cerely thank all who have contributed.
First, many thanks to the administrations and athletic
departments of the CUSD and particularly Chandler
High School (CHS), which, through the Arizona
Interscholastic Association (AIA) and the National
Federation of High Schools (NFHS), have sponsored
and sanctioned the Tournament of Champions since
its debut in Phoenix in 2001.
CUSD Superintendent Dr. Camille Casteel and
Assistant Superintendent for Support Services Frank
Fletcher have been uncommonly generous with their
time and resources and are central to the event’s
success. Frank also assigns our tournament officials
and officiates several games himself, and we are
grateful for the outstanding job he does at both.
Thanks to CHS Athletic Director Dave Shapiro, who
spends countless hours on the planning and admin-
istration of the event. The Tournament of Champions
is now one of the largest nationally sanctioned inter-
scholastic team events in the United States; Dave’s
unwavering dedication is the key element in its con-
tinued success.
Thanks to CUSD Athletic Director John Carlson and
Chandler High School Principal Terry Williams, both
of whom have been tremendously supportive of the
Tournament of Champions since its arrival.
Thanks and best of luck to Christine Lai, who after
five years has left the Tournament to pursue other
event planning opportunities. Christine’s involvement
with the tournament dates back almost ten years:
first as a player, then volunteer, intern, employee, and
finally Director. We will always remember and
continue to benefit from her contributions, but most
importantly wish her much success in the future.
Thanks to Shala Kiewert who, in her first year, has
done an outstanding job in the detailed planning
and complex logistics that the event requires. It is
hard to imagine anyone, regardless of experience,
doing better.
Thanks to Brittany Hosack for coordinating our 2007
Event Management Internship Program with the Chi
Omega sorority at Arizona State University, and to the
nearly thirty XΩs who are participating this year.
Brittany has worked with the Tournament of
Champions for three years, and has been one of the
most valuable and dedicated interns we have ever
had in any program.
Thanks to the administration and staff at each of our
host schools in the Chandler Unified School District,
particularly Hamilton High School Principal Dr. Fred
Deprez and Athletic Director Dick Banisewski; Basha
High School Principal Kristine Marchiando and
Athletic Director Saunders Montague; Perry High
School Principal Dan Serrano and Athletic Director
John Wrenn; SanTan Principal Frank Narducci and
Athletic Director Mitch Henderson; and Willis Junior
High School Principal Paul Bollard and Athletic
Director Joe Greene.
Thanks to Tom Buhl for designing this media guide,
the tournament website, and virtually all of the
printed material that you see this week. Tom has
worked with the Tournament since its inception, and
he more than anyone is responsible for the incredi-
ble look and style that has become associated with
the event.
Thanks to Clay Kallam for writing the media guide
text, including preview articles and team capsules,
and for his overall promotion of the event and our
sport in general. Clay also coaches one of our com-
peting teams, and we wish him and the Campolindo
Cougars good luck in the tournament.
Thanks to Scott Farence for once again shooting the
media guide cover photos. Scott has created a signa-
ture photographic look for the Tournament that is not
equaled by many professional sporting events, and
he has done so with generosity, style, and great
humor. Assisting Scott were photo editor Carlos
Mandeleveitia and videographer Bryan Miller, who
created the video pieces seen at the Opening
Ceremonies.
Also thanks to Julie Koeth, who works closely with
Scott in doing the makeup and styling for the actual
photo shoot – and who this year secured the donation
of the dresses that appear in the program photos.
Thanks to Larry Colton, Michael Burns, Kristine
Gliege, Angela Sainz, and the entire staff of the
Arizona Grand Resort for accommodating the more
than 2,000 student athletes and coaches who
compete over two weeks in the event. The Grand is a
generous and important partner to the Tournament of
Champions, and we are excited about our continued
relationship and the Resort’s recent and continuing
expansion and remodel.
Thanks to Kara Lawson for taking time out of her
busy basketball and ESPN schedule to appear at the
Opening Ceremonies; Kara is a gracious and giving
member of the professional and broadcasting ranks
and we are happy to have her with us for the benefit
of the student athletes
Special thanks to Ilene Hauser at Nike for taking care
of Kara and all of Nike’s sponsored WNBA athletes.
Ilene consistently values and supports the
Tournament of Champions and her work is much
appreciated.
Finally, thanks to Mary Thompson, Tony Dorado,
George Raveling, Jill Pizzotti, Mike Egan, and every-
one at Nike Basketball for again supporting the event.
With the 2007 Tournament of Champions, Nike, Inc.
has once again demonstrated its dedication and
leadership in the sport of girls’ and women’s basket-
ball. No other company in any other sport has
devoted the resources necessary to produce an
event so clearly above the norm.
Now in its eleventh season as the premier event in
American high school basketball, the Tournament
of Champions is yet another reason so many young
athletes are proud – as I am – to be associated
with Nike.
Thanks for your attendance,
Steve Kozaki

On behalf of Tony Dorado, George Raveling, and everyone at Nike basketball, welcome to the 2007
Nike Tournament of Champions. For eleven years we at Nike have been proud to be the sponsor of
America’s best known and most prestigious high school basketball event. I congratulate all of the
teams selected to compete in the this year’s tournament, which again showcases the finest teams
and players in the United States.
The Tournament of Champions’ dominance is something unparalleled in high school sports. For
eight of the past ten years the TOC has produced the eventual USA Today National Champion –
along with an amazing total of 74 divisional State Champions since 1997.
Even more impressive, the TOC has showcased literally hundreds of future collegiate and profes-
sional athletes – including WNBA stars Sue Bird, Chamique Holdsclaw, Diana Taurasi, Kara
Lawson, and more.
This exceptional level of talent is what will bring more than 200 NCAA Division I coaches to
Phoenix this year for the purpose of evaluating future scholarship athletes. It is significant that the
TOC is the first and only event of its kind to attract this many coaches for recruiting – while they
are in the middle of their own collegiate basketball seasons.
It is everyone present – student athletes, coaches, parents, and fans – who make the Tournament
of Champions one of the greatest team high school sporting events in the United States.
Every year Nike demonstrates its leadership in girls’ and women’s basketball by providing young
women with unique opportunities to showcase their abilities. For more than decade the Nike
Tournament of Champions has been among the greatest of these opportunities.
Take advantage if it. Play hard, have fun, grow and cherish in the moment. We will all be cheering
for your success.
We appreciate your attendance, participation, sportsmanship and enthusiasm, and hope you enjoy
the 2007 Nike Tournament of Champions.

6 Nike/Phoenix Tournament of Champions 2007
Joe Smith1942–2007On the surface, ours was a most improbable friendship.
He and I were born and raised more than a generationapart on opposite coasts, and from the outset sharedalmost nothing in common. We met in December of 1996during a fiercely atypical rainstorm in Santa Barbara, andwere at completely opposing stages in our lives: I waspractically a kid, ignorant and just beginning; he wasnearly retiring from two careers, and from the first daymade it clear to me that he was the final authority oneverything. But, owing to fate or good fortune or both, JoeSmith quickly and surely became one of my best – ifmost unlikely – friends.
Joe died on December 4 in a New York Hospital. He was65. Most of the basketball world knew and will rememberhim as an immovable, opinionated, and sometimes outra-geously outspoken fixture in the sport.
Although his public persona was often controversial, thetruth is most people did not really know anything aboutJoe, who for ten years taught me so much about so manythings that it’s difficult to keep it all in my head at once. Atodds with his reputation as an often rude and bellicosefigure who lacked social grace, what he taught me mostis how to treat all people with dignity and respect.
Much will be written about Joe in the coming days andweeks. Most will focus on basketball, and rightly so: hewas a pioneer in the sport, frequently alternating betweenpromoter and detractor, analyst and fan, in an uncompro-mising effort to better the game. I won’t write more aboutbasketball here, partly because his contributions are amatter of record, but primarily because the basis of ourfriendship had nothing to do with a game at all, and toportray Joe as one-dimensional is to woefully understatehis life’s contributions.
I spoke with Joe probably 3 or 4 times a day for nearly tenyears, with few exceptions. That’s something like 12,000conversations. I won’t say anything clichéd like I learnedsomething from him every time we spoke; to be honest,for every deep and vitriolic discussion there was a trivialone as well; often he called to tell me what he was eatingfor lunch (he was a prodigious consumer of bagels).
Most often we talked about music, politics, history, orhorseracing, all of which he loved. I am convinced that ifhe debated recognized authorities on any of these topicsit would leave the experts, not Joe, wanting. This wasone of the many surprising things about him: anyonewho confused his rancor for a lack of credibility wouldfind themselves completely disarmed by his intelligence.He could converse with anyone about anything, andwould more often than not be better informed than hiscounterpart.
Politically Joe was so acutely liberal that I told him Iworried he might fall off the left side of the world; he inturn was so frustrated by my moderation he complainedthat I stood for nothing at all. This itself illustrates whatwas so different about us; he was never afraid to rockthe boat, while whenever possible I preferred to not leavethe shore. Truthfully, his political leanings all centeredaround the themes of personal choice and civil liberty,and it were these concepts that led him to be such atolerant, inclusive, and compassionate man. These arenot attributes many casual acquaintances would associ-ate with Joe, but I knew them to be true. He believed tohis core that every person ought to be able to live theway he or she wanted, and that is certainly how hehimself lived.
Although I would never admit it to him, he routinelytrumped me in our political debates, partly because hepossessed an almost preternatural knowledge of theConstitution (he could recite most of it), the workings ofgovernment (he could name most every U.S. Senator andRepresentative, along with their voting tendencies), andthe history of the Supreme Court (Thurgood Marshall wasone of his heroes).
When it came to music, Joe had no use for my favoriteclassic rock or jazz, but could identify virtually every pieceof classical and opera music within its first measure.More often than not he could distinguish between whichorchestra was playing, under which conductor, and inwhich concert hall it was recorded. Among his operaticfavorites were Puccini’s La Boheme and Verdi’s Otello; insymphonic music he preferred Beethoven (his favoriteswere Symphonies 5, 3, and 9), Dvorak (Nos. 8 and 9), andSibelius (Nos. 2 and 5).
If you asked him, he could recite the greatest works ofevery significant composer, and would happily give hisopinion of each (Mahler was too dark, Grieg was a bittrivial). He knew the location and current maestro of everymajor symphony orchestra in the world.
In stark contrast to his refined musical taste, Joe wasotherwise a man of simple pleasures. When I flew to NewYork last year to celebrate his birthday, I asked where hewanted to go for dinner. “Anywhere in Manhattan,” Ioffered. “Michael Jordan’s, Smith and Wollensky, ThePalm. You name the place.” Of course Joe chose theSanta Fe Steakhouse, a quasi chain restaurant (think“Sizzler” with a bar) down the block from his apartmentbuilding in Queens. He had a $12.99 steak while openinghis gift, a boxed set of Maria Callas’ greatest arias. Talkabout a living, breathing contradiction.
One of Joe’s other passions was baseball; he was aterrific and tremendously knowledgeable fan wholamented his beloved Yankees’ recent (and relative, Ipointed out) lack of success, and supported, to my
surprise, their controversial managerial change this Fall.He knew (not believed) that Ty Cobb was the greatestplayer ever, and could rattle off dozens of statistics toprove it. Joe, in fact, possessed a nearly eidetic memoryand could keenly interpret trends and stats, which helpedhim in other pursuits, as well, like the occasional (andmostly successful) wagers he would place on horseracingvia satellite. Win or lose he enjoyed the majesty of thehorses; Seabiscuit was one of his favorite books and hebadgered me until I read it.
He was excited about technology that allowed him tokeep in touch with his friends, who are legion, and wasan avid “instant messenger” and cell phone junkie. Thiswas quite an evolution for a man who, even after theadvent of PCs, used to type his national player and teamrankings on a vintage IBM Selectric; whenever he had toinsert a player (say, #13 of 100), he would have to eitherretype the entire list from scratch or use two full bottles ofwhite out to make the correction (his methods werearchaic, but this evaluations were dead-on).
I spoke with Joe a final time on December 1, he on hiscell phone from his hospital bed. His body was failing ter-minally at the time – though I chose not to believe this –but his mind was still sharp, and he grilled me aboutaspects of this year’s Tournament, which he planned toattend as usual. He let me know that he disagreed withsome of my seeding decisions – also as usual. I knowfrom ten years of experience that Joe was invariablyright, so of course I took his advice.
I did not know that it would be our last conversation. Thelast thing I said to him was the last thing I said to himevery day: “I’ll talk to you tomorrow.” It still does not seemreal that I didn’t talk to him that next day, and that I won’tanymore, at least on this earth. Whenever my cell phonebuzzes at his usual intervals I still reflexively expect tolook down and read “Joe Smith, 718-896-9646” on thecaller ID, as I have so many thousands of times.
I’m sorry now that I didn’t say goodbye that night, didn’ttell him how much I valued our friendship, didn’t tell himhow much I enjoyed every single one of those 12,000talks we had. But I’m okay, because I believe he knew allof these things, just like he knew mostly everything.
One of the (many) things that Joe disliked was theoveruse of the word ‘great;’ he did not believe much inlife deserved this particular adjective. Well, I’m sorry Joe,but I’m going to irritate you one final time by writing this:
You were a great human being and a great friend, JoeSmith, and I am a greater person for having known you.You will be missed, by me and by many.
