NEWS WVU withdraws recognition of TKE fraternity “Quite honestly, this clearly says our process continues to set the bar high for fraternities and sororities. We’re having regular communication with the fraternities and sororities, as well as their headquarters.” —Corey Farris, dean of Student Life

BY CAITY COYNE EDITORINCHIEF WVU is opting to no longer recognize the Rho chapter of fraternity Tau Kappa Epsilon as it undergoes an investigation by its international headquarters regarding bylaw violations by the chapter, according to a statement from the University. A letter was sent to the WVU chapter by TKE’s nationals on Tuesday afternoon outlining several bylaw infractions, including failure to follow the organization’s national constitution, failure to obey WVU rules and failure to pay dues, fees and penalties owed. “Pending the completion of the Fraternity’s investigation into these charges, WVU has, in the interim, opted to no longer recognize the Rho Chapter of Tau Kappa Epsilon Fraternity as a WVU student organization,” the statement reads. When the investigation is over—and pending the results—WVU will re-evaluate this decision, but in the meantime all members of TKE will still be held to the University’s Student Code of Conduct. Without recognition as a student organization, the Rho chapter of TKE will not be able to take advantage of certain privileges awarded to recognized student organizations, according to

COLIN TRACY / THE DAILY ATHENAEUM

The Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternity hangs a banner which reads “Heroes get remembered, TKE’s never die” off the side of its house following the University’s announcement to withdraw recognition from the fraternity. Corey Farris, dean of Student Life. While this means they can’t benefit from certain things, like applying for grants through SGA, or participating in University functions like Student Organization Fairs, Farris said limits on things like social functions and parties fall on guidelines set by the TKE International Headquarters. “They certainly wouldn’t be able to use anything on campus, but we don’t host parties on campus,” Farris said. “It’s (TKE’s) house... That’s something for the national headquarters, I don’t know what restrictions they place. At the lowest level (TKE) wouldn’t be able to have a bowling party in the lower level of the Mountainlair because

they’re not a recognized student organization.” Farris said the decision to not recognize the Rho chapter is one that would be made for any student organization (“whether you’re the chess club, or a fraternity or the Biology honorary”) if a national association presented findings like TKE’s did to the University. “It’s a broad thing that covers all the student organizations we have on campus,” Farris said. This is the first instance of disciplinary action to this extent for a Greek organization since former Director of Greek Life Roy Baker resigned in November. Following his resignation, documents surfaced in December revealing

he was arrested in McKeesport, PA on Sept. 4, 2016 on charges of disorderly conduct. Since his leave, the Office of Greek Life has been headed by Farris and Greek Life Program Advisor Jessica Li as the University is in the midst of a national search for a new director. “Quite honestly, this clearly says our process continues to set the bar high for fraternities and sororities,” Farris said. “We’re having regular communication with the fraternities and sororities, as well as with their headquarters. If there is an issue, headquarters reports it to us, and that allows them to take whatever action they’re taking, as well as giving us information to take some action

in support of what they’re doing.” And even without a uniform, designated leader, the standards set by Baker during his time here are still being honored. Baker’s goals for WVU were to expand Greek life, improve its judicial system and to unify the community. More specifically he pushed to defer formal recruitment for freshmen, raise the minimum GPA requirement to 2.5 and implement a chapter accreditation system. Following Baker’s absence, fraternity and sorority members said Greek life has been relying on heavy “self governance.” “(Self governing) looks like us doing our jobs, instead of Baker having all of the reign and deciding every single detail of how we operate and our jobs,” said Teddy Phillippi, IFC vice president, in a past interview with The DA. “We have a lot more independence and we have a lot more reciprocity with the University in terms of the changes we’d like to see, and we’d like to make. We’ve had much better

communication now that we’ve gained so much independence with how we run Greek life here.” Despite this, Eric O’Connor, a political science student and current member of the Rho chapter of TKE, said while the first few months of Baker’s absence gave Greek members “room to breath,” he believes “as time went on the manhunt for fraternal organizations started again.” Farris though, assured this wasn’t part of any “manhunt,” and again, was an action that would have been taken against any student organization, Greek or otherwise. “All of us still support fraternities and sororities. We still set the bar high, and in this particular case this action came from the international headquarters—this isn’t something that we originated,” Farris said. “If they’re concerned that there is a ‘manhunt,’ I guess I’d point that back to their international headquarters.” TKE international headquarters were unavailable for comment by the time of publication.

Students commemorate WVU’s 150th Birthday BY MEGAN BASHARAG CORRESPONDENT Students gathered in Woodburn Circle on Tuesday to create a human “150” to commemorate WVU’s 150th birthday. Despite the dreary day, around fifty students attended the event. “Being it’s my first year here, I thought it’d be cool that I was part of the 150th year,” said Abigail Doran, a freshman. “I thought it’d be cool to do it and remember it.” WVU’s Student Life organized the event. Jason Broadwater, director of communications and marketing in

“It’s a way to show that we’re proud of what we’ve accomplished in 150 years.” — Blake Humphrey, student body president the Division of Student Life, thought this would be a nice way for students to celebrate their school during the stress of finals. “It’s just a chance for them to have fun, let their hair down,” Broadwater said. Students waved their arms and cheered while looking up toward the drone that was taking their picture. “What better way than to try and celebrate with students, in Woodburn Circle where the University all started, to try to bring everyone together for one photo,”

said Andrew Seely, University Relations. He placed the students in the “150” shape and thought this was a unique take on the many birthday festivities going on around campus. “It’s a way to show that we’re proud of what we’ve accomplished in 150 years,” said Blake Humphrey, student body president. Broadwater said working at a university that has reached 150 years is pretty special. “To 150 more years!” Broadwater said.

Mock trial sheds light on gruesome details of a sexual assault court case It’s On Us holds trial to show resources available to victims of abuse BY PATRICK ORSAGOS STAFF WRITER WVU’s It’s On Us campaign to end sexual violence on campus hosted a mock trial in the Mountainlair Gluck Theater Tuesday night. “We are collaborating with key players in this field to provide an opportunity for students to explore sexual violence and the criminal process beyond just the verdict,” said Senior Title IX Education Specialist and Director of the WVU Peer Advocate Program Mariana Matthews. The mock trial was a collaboration between the Title IX office and the WVU Peer Advocates. “Our goal is to bring students closer to their resources, their rights and offer them open experiences that will hopefully continue to empower the conversation to end violence on and off our campus,” Matthews said.

Resources were available to aid in the explanation and possible confusion of the graphic content that was displayed. “We have included Carruth, RDVIC and our WVU Peer Advocates to be on hand before, during, and after the event to discuss resources and support anyone in need,” Matthews explained. “We will have trigger warnings displayed for those in attendance, and resources printed in the welcome guides.” The mock trial allowed faculty, staff, students and any member of the audience to experience what a trial on sexual assault details and how gruesome of a process it can be. “This event is unique as we will be able to hold discussions around society perception, victim blaming and how our own bias can affect the results,” Matthews said. Participants in the trial

were: Perri DeChristopher, prosecuting attorney for Monongalia County, acted as the prosecuting attorney, and Brandon Bencoff, assistant prosecuting attorney for Monongalia County, assisted. Cindy Scott, the senior Title IX investigator, acted as the defense. A sexual assault nurse examiner from Ruby Memorial Hospital was present, and an officer from UPD acted as the officer. Law students played the role of the accused and victim. The witnesses and jury were selected from students who volunteered for the event. SGA, Greek Life, University Police Department, the victim assistance program, the Monongalia Prosecutors Office, Carruth Center, Rape and Domestic Violence Information Center, Ruby Memorial Hospital Employees and WVU law students also contributed to the mock trial.

OPINION Textbook ethics in the digital age BY BRANDON RIDGELY OPINION EDITOR Ask any college student and they’ll be quick to let you know textbooks are much more of an expense than you might realize. In response to the costs, some take unethical routes to bridge the gap. But how unethical are these strategies? Are they as unethical as the textbook industry itself? While rising tuition always catches the eye of students unhappy with how much they’re spending for an education that is lessening in value, textbooks are that final low blow to your bank account early in a new semester. There are many reasons the textbook industry brings so many headaches. First, what is lauded by WVU as the foremost option to purchase your textbooks—stores like Barnes and Noble on campus— are simply not the most efficient way to do it. Books are found much cheaper online or in other areas. And that’s not the only issue with this strategy. For bookstores like Barnes and Noble, a small amount of books assigned for each class are ordered. These textbooks are not all the books that are needed across the class according to roster size however, as it banks on some students

finding the book in other ways, never getting the book, or waiting for new copies to arrive. What this means is the supply of these textbooks is often too meager, and results in a wait to resupply. This wait can take a long time, even resolving after the book has already been required multiple times in the class. Many students remedy this by using competitors. One of the most popular is Amazon. Amazon offers a cheap rental service for books that you mail back after the semester, and mailing it back is even free. Amazon also offers two day shipping for free with its Amazon Prime service, with tracking covered. With very competitive pricing, it’s easy to see why many students turn to it. So sure, there are issues with the delivery of these textbooks that students find their way around, and maybe even with supply, but what about issues with the textbook industry itself? New editions for textbooks can include important revisions to content in order to stay the most up to date and most correct. But many new editions feel more like a copy and paste with some visual changes rather than any reasonable improvement of content. Why would we be upset

SUBMITTED PHOTO

Barnes & Noble is the offical bookstore of WVU. with this regular new content? Because we are forced to buy it. When a new edition comes out for a textbook, classes will likely ask you to purchase it. Most of the time, a previous edition will substitute as long as you are not working directly with problems from the book.However, this is not always the case. For courses in fields like foreign language that often involve pivotal online coursework, you will need the exact edition of the textbook the class uses in order to have the right access code. What results is students having to re-purchase near exact same content for hundreds of dollars each to receive a little string of letters that lets them pro-

ceed in the courses they’ve already paid for. Picture this: you purchase a $300 book for Spanish, set to get you through Spanish 101-102. As you start your 102 class, you read in the syllabus that a new edition of the book is released. The $300 you spent for a textbook and string of letters that is your lifeline for online course work is now null and void, and you will have to purchase a new $300 book with near exact same information to even proceed. But hey, this time it’s brown! And of course you could just get the new code without the textbook for something like $250. This is not ethical. This is not acceptable. We pay exorbitant rates for our education and then

have to purchase the nuts and bolts—the exactly prescribed nuts and bolts—to propel ourselves forward within it. This practice drains major dollars from an already extorted group of people looking to better themselves. To combat this absurd practice, some students turn to what is considered equally unethical. Some students photocopy textbooks and access online versions of texts uploaded illegally, among other strategies. Others even try and forgo certain books within a class, surviving without them rather than facing the costs. But how unethical are these countermeasures? While copyright remains the law of the land (and for very good reason), as de-

clared in court in India, “copyright is not a divine right.” This comment was actually a part of a ruling made by the Delhi high court in response to a university within India, Delhi University, photocopying textbooks from major publishers for educational use in 2016. The Delhi high court ruled in favor of this photocopying and distribution. While some degree of photocopying is legal today in the U.S. depending on purpose (involving some threshold of use— for instance only using one page), it’s a slippery slope that is certainly not advisable. But as technology evolves perhaps beyond the textbook industry’s grasp, and as education costs grow endlessly higher, textbook ethics as a whole will be confronted whether we want it to or not. How long can we really ask students to spend $300 for a book they may never actually be asked to open instead of googling “(book title) pdf ” for an industry that already robs them of so much? All while increasing the costs for them to achieve this education at all? Now consider that West Virginia is home to some of the worst poverty and rates of education in the country, and see if your answer remains the same.

CULTURE Appalachian Queer Film Festival to be hosted on Saturday BY ERIN DRUMMOND CULTURE EDITOR WVU students are encouraged to open their minds as the Appalachian Queer Film Festival makes its way to Morgantown. The AQFF will visit WVU on Saturday in partnership with the WVU Film Society. Having started four years ago, the festival has kept its mission to bring queer films and filmmakers to West Virginia in an attempt to break down stereotypes and broaden the minds of the Appalachian region. “This event is one of the AQFF’s first opportunities to spread our mission to an even larger audience in West Virginia,” said Katelyn Campbell, the interim director of the film fes-

tival. “Bringing AQFF to Morgantown means making queer films accessible to an audience of young people who might never have been to a film festival, while also furthering our mission of facilitating queer folks in Appalachia seeing stories like theirs on screen. In addition to the regular film festival set in October, the festival will host their first traveling film screening in Morgantown with the films “Bayard & Me” by Matt Wolf and “Discreet” by Travis Mathews. “Bayard & Me” was featured at the Sundance Film Festival and documents the long-term interracial, same sex relationship between Bayard Rustin, an organizer of the Civil Rights March on Wash-

ington, and his partner. It tells the story of Rustin’s method to allow his young partner to receive full benefits following his death. Premiered at Berlin, “Discreet” takes a political route and focuses on out-

sider culture and the alt right in rural queer communities. The film was also described by Variety as “perhaps the first queer film to directly address the subject of alt-right influence on outside identity in

Middle America.” Following the film, director Travis Matthews will host a panel talkback. The event will also have an after party at the nightclub Vice Versa located downtown.

“We relish the opportunity for students to examine and discuss challenges within the LGBTQ community through two very different stories: a story of love despite all odds paired with a story of the pain caused by isolation and discretion,” Campbell said. The event will take place from 6 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. in the Gluck Theater of the Mountainlair on Saturday, April 29. Admission is $10 or free for students who present their valid WVU For more information or to purchase tickets, go to https://www. eventbrite.com/e/ aqff-in-morgantown-tickets-32402866847.

Graduate assistantships help with academic and financial success BY EMILY ZEKONIS ASSOCIATE CULTURE EDITOR As graduation draws closer for seniors, scholarships awarded are dropped. A quick search can lead graduate students to believe there are few scholarship resources to offset graduate school tuition, which runs at over $1,000 per credit for a non-resident at West Virginia University. Graduate students are left to find another way to pay for costs of education in order to avoid taking out loans. “Graduate assistantships

are awarded annually to incoming and continuing graduate students,” said Gabriel Castro, a graduate assistant for the Office of Education and Life. “These positions are better than receiving full tuition waiver from the department because these positions come with full or partial tuition waiver, health insurance and a good salary for 20 or 10 hours per week of work.” WVU offers nearly 1,700 graduate assistantship positions in various departments categorized into four types: research, teaching, residence life and service assistants.

“There are a limited number of assistantships,” said Harvey Diamond, graduate director of the Math Department. “If you have a program picked out for your graduate studies, you can usually contact the graduate director or faculty in your area of interest to discuss the program, study opportunities and their research area.” With over 6,000 graduate students at WVU, applicants must find ways to make themselves stand out in their undergraduate work. “Excellent academic performance—along with sup-

portive reference letters —are helpful in securing an assistantship,”Diamond said. “Research experiences as an undergraduate that reflect on your potential for success in graduate studies are also increasingly prevalent and one way to distinguish yourself among a group of applicants.” “Being in leadership roles in students organizations is important, as well,” said Jeneice Shaw, a graduate assistant for WELLWVU. “Being in a student organization is great, but anyone can sit through meetings and be a member. Show you were an active un-

dergrad and capable of being a leader.” Graduate assistantships are not only a way to pay for graduate school, but are resume builders for internships and jobs. Students are encouraged to choose one that fits their schedule, experience and ultimate career goals. “In my program, you are guaranteed an assistantship your first year, but must be chosen by a professor after that,” Shaw said. “I was a good fit for this one because of the work I did in my undergraduate, (studies) but I was really lucky to get in it.”

With full tuition and a minimum assistantship salary of $12,400 for the academic year at stake, students are encouraged to begin looking at graduate programs no later than the summer before their senior year. Students who earn a position within their first year, and are making appropriate progress toward their degree, are likely to be supported throughout the entire duration of their program.

Sandwich U serves up unique style BY ANDREW SPELLMAN ART DIRECTOR Sandwich University has been serving the Morgantown community since the days of the Big East. Hailing from New Jersey, Sandwich U split off from R U Hungry?—a sandwich store at Rutgers University—and moved to Walnut Street in 2006. Originally located above 4th and Goal, the sandwich shop moved

to their new location at the top of High Street in recent years. “I was good friends with the people who owned DubV Nightlife which turned into OrderUp years later,” aid George Tanios, general manager of Sandwich U. “They brought me down here to visit, and decided we were going to open a place. They helped invest and open my location on Walnut Street.”

Located in the midst of Morgantown’s downtown bars, Sandwich U is no stranger to the nighttime hustle. “Ten years later, we’re here on High Street with a new location, a new version of Sandwich U—a new version—with a little bit more care and attention to detail. The response has been pretty positive, and people really like the food,” Tanios said.

Now Tanios wants to take Sandwich U to the next level. May 1 to September 1, customers can take advantage of a new drive-in service. “Customers can pull up and someone will come out to take their order with the iPad, and put a card in their window just like the old days—just no roller skates. We figured that would increase the vibe,” Tanios said. For the full story, check out Friday’s issue of The DA.

SPORTS Profiling WVU’s projected top three Draft picks BY ALEC GEARTY

it, most media outlets have Orlosky as a top five center on position rankings for the 2017 draft class. Sports Illustrated has him as high as No. 3.

SPORTS WRITER

FOOTBALL Thursday marks the start of the 2017 NFL Draft. With the draft, comes much uncertainty for the prospect but also a start at the professional level. The DA will profile West Virginia’s top three projected draft selections, according to CBS Sports’ R.J. White. Rasul Douglas Cornerback Rasul Douglas has undoubtedly took advantage and made the most out of his senior year at WVU. Douglas led the nation with eight interceptions in 13 games for the Mountaineers. At WVU’s pro day, Douglas latched onto every ball thrown his direction except one. For Douglas, he “doesn’t like dropping” the ball. He’s taken that as a lesson to please his coaches. Growing up in East Orange, N.J, Douglas wasn’t sure if he would even make it to the college level. It was a “last-minute” decision to attend junior college in New York because he didn’t know where he would wind up. While at Nassau Community College, Douglas earned the honor of being ranked the top cornerback in the state. Douglas spent nearly four days at home in New Jersey after WVU’s loss to Miami in the Russell Athletic Bowl to visit his grandmother before heading out to California to train. Since then, he’s been working

Shelton Gibson takes a pass upfield during WVU’s matchup against TCU on Oct. 22, 2016. to hear his name announced in the draft. Douglas’ grandmother isn’t a massive fan of football but Douglas said she would mention it to him whenever it came on the news. As his grandmother raised Douglas from a young age, it’s hard to find a closer bond between two people in the entire draft class. “We’re best friends,” Douglas said. “That’s my mom. That’s my grandma. She’s all of that.” Douglas doesn’t have a preference on what team he wants

to suit up for. However, he says that he used to play as the former-San Diego Chargers in the Madden video game franchise because LaDainian Tomlinson was “just unstoppable.” After name-dropping the likes of Shawne Merriman, Quentin Jammer—all Chargers legends, Douglas conceded that he had a soft spot for Los Angeles’ new team. White has Douglas listed as the WVU’s second selection—94th overall in the third round to the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Tyler Orlovsky The man that has Douglas beat is Center Tyler Orlosky. In the projection, White has the Mountaineer teammates going back-to-back with the Green Bay Packers selecting Orlosky with the 93rd overall pick. While at WVU, Orlosky’s most notable recognition was that he was named one of three players to be named a finalist

for the Rimington Trophy. Orlosky didn’t win but being the anchor to WVU’s offensive line certainly helped his case and made him a standout. His modesty was prevalent after the Mountaineers’ pro day. “I don’t know if I’d consider myself as a top center,” Orlosky said. “There (are) a lot of good linemen there.” While he may not consider

Shelton Gibson Finally, the last West Virginia selection that CBS Sports projects is Wide Receiver Shelton Gibson heading to the Los Angeles Rams in the fifth round with the 149th pick. Gibson was a wild card after WVU’s season ended. Nobody knew if Gibson would return for his senior year but on Jan. 11, Gibson declared for Thursday’s draft. Much like his defensive counterpart, Rasul Douglas, Gibson used a career-year in his favor. Gibson amounted to 951 receiving yards with eight touchdowns. But heading into the draft, his speed was something he had over the other wide receivers. The scouts know it, so it wasn’t that much of a surprise when Gibson ran a 40-yard-dash time of 4.39—a .11 second improvement from his official time at the NFL combine. “I don’t care about projections,” Gibson told WV MetroNews. “Once you get up there, it’s what you show in practice.” There is no set guarantee that the three aforementioned will be the only WVU alumni to be drafted. The likes of Skyler Howard, Daikiel Shorts, Rushel Shell and Noble Nwachukwu all declared in hopes to wind up with a training camp invite. It will just be the next chapter.

Molded by experiences, Mazzulla is humbled to live the dream BY CHRIS JACKSON SPORTS EDITOR

MEN’S BASKETBALL Sitting in the offices at Joe Retton Arena, it’s hard for Joe Mazzulla to crack a smile. At 28-years-old, it would be easy for the former West Virginia guard to bask it all in. He’s the new head coach at Fairmont State, the successor to Jerrod Calhoun—who recently moved up to Youngstown State—and leading a program filled with history while coming off its first runner-up finish in the Division 2 national championship. Not much of that makes Mazzulla think he’s here because of his abilities. He embodies everything about West Virginia, with his down-toearth persona and blue-collar mentality.

Of course, he loves what he does. But he got here because of his experiences and those he worked with. Basketball is a team sport, and he sits on the office couch humbled by his title while crediting his success to everyone and everything. “I worked for great people,” Mazzulla said. “They allowed me to experience things. They allowed me to make mistakes. They allowed me to just kind of be myself without a staff and that really helped me grow and grow to this opportunity.” The former WVU guard has been everywhere. Hailing from Rhode Island, he wasn’t highly sought after like his counterparts in the tradition-rich Big East Conference. WVU was his only offer from a major conference. Not being a top 100 recruit didn’t matter to any of the

WVU coaches he played for. John Beilein—who he played for in 2007 and won an NIT title as a freshman—and Bob Huggins don’t bring in as many top 100 recruits as some of the other big-names on the sidelines. “There’s not many players that don’t go to both of those schools and fit right in,” Mazzulla said. “I think that’s a testament to their recruiting, but it’s also to their coaching. I think they’d both rather have a little bit of a less talented guy who has a chip on his shoulder, wants to be coachable and wants to learn.” During that time in Morgantown, Mazzulla found his niche. He started paying more attention to what Huggins did—who is one of 11 coaches to reach 800 career wins in Division 1 history—and how he

managed his team. Mazzulla was also a part of one of the best runs in program history. WVU made its second-ever Final Four appearance in 2010 while he was a senior, beating a Kentucky team filled with NBA All-Stars in the names of DeMarcus Cousins and John Wall. The 6’2” guard was instrumental that day, scoring 17 points and seeing his shot go down the net time and again. Why was it his time to dominate on the biggest stage? “I was always a player where if I hit my first shot, I was pretty good, and if I missed it, I was just like mental mashed potatoes,” Mazzulla said. “I think that 3 that I hit was the first shot and that just kind of gave me confidence.” Yet while that was a signature moment as WVU found

its way to the Final Four, he still says the Big East Championship was better. It was the best conference in college basketball for many years—the “mecca” of college basketball. He and his former teammates still reminisce about that time quite frequently. He still vividly remembers all of the key shots Da’Sean Butler hit to guide the Mountaineers to their one and only Big East title. Standing atop the “mecca” of college hoops was a moment he will never forget, celebrating in the legendary Madison Square Garden in New York City. “You see “Requiem for the Big East”, the {ESPN) 30 for 30, you see how much tradition, how powerful that conference was,” Mazzulla said. “For us to be able to win one of those is a big deal.”

Those experiences helped lift Mazzulla into who he is today. That’s where he found coaching, and the rest was history. So, Mazzulla started at Glenville State as an assistant after one more year playing at WVU. Then he found Fairmont State, a place always dear to his heart. Then he moved up to the professional landscape, working for the Maine Red Claws—DLeague affiliate of the Boston Celtics—as an assistant this past season. There, he helped with skill development for one year. Every player he coached wanted to play for Boston in the NBA or another franchise. Everyone’s ambitions were to play at the highest level of the world. And some did. Marcus Georges-Hunt earned a 10day contract and signed with

WHAT HAPPENED TO THE 2010 TEAM? Darryl “Truck” Bryant: Bryant began his career in Austria, playing for the Panthers Furstenfeld. He moved on to play with four more international teams before signing with Kataja in February, located in Finland and competes in the Korisliiga Basketball Champions League. Da’Sean Butler: Butler was drafted by the Miami Heat during the second round of the 2010 NBA Draft. He eventually found a pro career overseas, recently averaging 10.4 points with Ratiopharm in Germany. Devin Ebanks: Ebanks declared for the NBA Draft after his sophomore season, earning his way into a second round selection by the Lakers in 2010. 2014 would be his last season in the NBA before venturing internationally. In 2016, he scored 18.6 points per game as a member of Ponce in Puerto Rico. STAFF PHOTO

the Orlando Magic, playing as much as 20 minutes on April 6. Abdel Nader was named NBA D-League Rookie of the Year and his hopes of playing in the NBA are increasing. “I was very fortunate to work with guys that were so close to making it to the NBA,” Mazzulla said. But once Fairmont came calling for him to be a head coach, it was an easy “yes.” He loves everything about the city, from his family to the people and school.

It’s all about community to Mazzulla. It didn’t hurt that his wife and two children stayed there while he was in Maine. Although he admits it was difficult, it taught him a lot about life. “It was the perfect world,” Mazzulla said. “It was where I was before from a family standpoint. I helped recruit some of the players, so I knew them. I knew the staff because we had worked together.” He has a lot of shoes to fill. Calhoun was one of the top coaches at the Division 2

BOB HUGGINS COACHING TREE Mick Cronin (Cincinnati): Coached under Huggins at Cincinnati from 1996-2001. AAC Coach of the Year in 2014, seven straight NCAA Tournament appearances, one Sweet 16 appearance in 2012. Led Cincinnati since 2006 Andy Kennedy (Ole Miss): Assistant under Huggins at Cincy from 2001-2005, successor to Huggins there for one year. Head coach at Ole Miss from 2006-present. Two NCAA Tournament appearances (2013, 2015), SEC Tournament Champions in 2013 Frank Martin (South Carolina): Assistant under Huggins at Cincinnati from 2004-2005, assistant under Huggins at Kansas State from 2006-2007, successor to Huggins at Kansas State from 20072012, head coach at South Carolina since 2012. Big 12 Coach of the Year (2010), Jim Phelan Award (2017), led South Carolina to its first-ever Final Four in 2017.

level before taking the job at Youngstown State, lifting the program to the NCAA Tournament the last three years and being named the Mountain East Conference Coach of the Year in 2017. It’s going to take a collective job. Basketball is all about a team and coming together. “I’m just managing and trying to be the best CEO that I can,” Mazzulla said. “It’s going to take a group effort. It took a group effort to get this place to where it is and it’s going to take on to keep it there.” Mazzulla will take some from every stop he’s been at. He can’t help but thank and credit the coaches he’s worked and played for, ranging from Calhoun to Huggins. Those two are very similar in what they do. Calhoun worked under Huggins from 2011-12 at WVU and also earlier in his career at Cincinnati, becoming one of the many byproducts of the very extensive Huggins coaching tree that features the likes of head coaches Mick Cronin (Cincinnati), Andy Kennedy (Ole Miss) and Frank Martin (South Carolina). Both inspired Mazzulla to be the best he can be, espe-

cially Huggins, who despite being as hard as anybody with his players, is loved by nearly everyone. “You want to work just as hard as he did and, it kind of sets the tone,” Mazzulla said. “Part of my motivation is because I played under him. He’s kind of inspired me to do that for other people. How close he is with relationships with his staff, with his players, with the community, you’re just inspired to do that.” Humbled by everything, Mazzulla thanks those coaches and everyone else he’s worked alongside to get to where he is. He’s living his dream and coaching in a place that has done everything for him and his family. Mazzulla admits he’s previously thought about coaching at the Division 1 level and thought about someday guiding the West Virginia program. But none of that matters now. Fairmont is where his heart is. “This is my West Virginia right now,” Mazzulla said. “That’s how you’re successful, is when you just coach every job like it’s your dream job. This is my dream job right now.”

John Flowers: The 6’7” forward is a member of Cocodrilos in Liga Americas, averaging 18 points per game in three appearances. Dan Jennings: Jennings transferred to Long Beach State following two years in Morgantown. As a senior in 2013-14, he averaged 9.9 points and 8.3 points. Kevin Jones: Jones appeared in the NBA D-League for a few years before moving overseas. In 16 games with Lokomotiv this past season, he registered just below 12 points per contest. Deniz Kilicli: After his WVU career ended, Kilicli went back home to Turkey to find a pro career. He averaged 8.2 points in 12.6 minutes with Istanbul BBSK. Casey Mitchell: Mitchell played overseas before his final professional stint in 2014-15 with the Sioux Falls Skyforce of the NBA D-League. He was a third round pick to Sioux Falls in the 2011 D-League Draft. Cam Payne: Payne found his way into business once he graduated and is now a High Net Worth Representative for Vanguard in Charlotte. Dalton Pepper: After two years at WVU, he transferred to Temple. His most recent roster spot was with Rieti in Italy this season, scoring above 16 points per game. Wellington Smith: Smith’s last professional stint came with Japan’s Oita Heat Devils in 2010-11.
