WHAT'S GOING ON IN AND AROUND BLACK COLLEGE SPORTS

BCSP Notes
Brummell leaves UMES for Georgetown
PRINCESS ANNE, Md.-Sharon Brummell, one of the most successful collegiate bowling coaches ever in the sport, is retiring from coaching and leaving her position as Associate Director of Athletics and Senior Woman Administrator at the University of Maryland Eastern Shore to become the Associate Athletics Director for Business and Finance and Senior Woman Administrator at Georgetown University in Washington, D.C.. Brummell, who is in her 16th year at UMES and 14th as head coach of the bowling team, has tenured her resignation effective January 15, 2012. Beyond coaching, Brummell has served in a variety of staff and administrative positions in the athletic department and has been an excellent ambassador for UMES. Brummell will be most missed for her accomplishments as a bowling coach. Brummell was named the 2008 and 2010 National Tenpins Coaches Association (NTCA) National Coach of the Year and has claimed three national championships. Her Lady Hawks won the 2008 and 2011 NCAA Women's Bowling Championship and in 2011 she coached her team to the United States Bowling Congress (USBC) Collegiate Championship, becoming the rst team to win both in the same year, arguably compiling the best season ever by a college bowling team. Her titles put her in a unique situation as she is the only woman to lead her team to an NCAA Championship and the only African-American coach to win the NCAA and USBC titles. The team's NCAA wins are the only DI National Championships ever won by a historically black college or university (HBCU) women's program. Her teams have won ve Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference titles (2000, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2011) and she was the MEAC Coach of the Year ve times (2000, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2010). Brummell will coach UMES this weekend at the Mid-Winter Classic in Little Rock, Arkansas, it will be her last as coach of UMES bowling.

BOZEMAN SUSPENDED:

Morgan State head men's basketball coach Todd Bozeman has been suspended indenitely by the university after an incident involving senior guard Larry Basteld during a win Saturday at South Carolina State, The Baltimore Sun has reported. Bozeman and Basteld say the situation, in which the coach has been accused of punching MSU Sports photo the guard midgame, was blown BOZEMAN: Morgan State out of proportion. Bozeman men's hoops coach has termed the confrontation as incident with player (not pictured here) that leads "accidental contact." the Sun to suspension. reported. MSU Athletic Director Floyd Kerr informed Bozeman of the decision late Sunday night, Bozeman told the newspaper. The school has begun an investigation into the incident. Kerr told the coach he was to "separate" himself from the team and have no further contact with any of his players or coaches until further notice, The Sun reported. Bozeman said in a later report from The Sun that he was told to return to Maryland Monday and meet with Kerr on Wednesday. The Bears (3-10, 1-1 MEAC) were coached by assistant Kevin McClain Monday night in a 57-55 conference loss at Savannah State South Carolina State president George E. Cooper, who has said he witnessed the incident and thought the coach had punched the player in the face, summoned campus police during the game to query the player about bringing possible charges against Bozeman. A police report from the South Carolina State Police Department obtained by the BCSP notes that Basteld when approached by campus police after the game declined to press charges. The report also says another unidentied MSU player was approached and was asked whether it was normal for their coach to 'strike players like that.' The report indicates the player responded by saying, 'ah, that what you saw tonight was nothing.' Basteld told the newspaper he "exaggerated" his reaction to the physical contact with Bozeman. Basteld said he staggered a few feet backwards after contact with Bozeman, who, according to witnesses, yelled at Basteld, "Get back here!" after he retreated. "These people are completely off the charts" regarding the accusations, Bozeman said in a telephone interview with The Sun. "I didn't hit him in the face." "They said they were told he hit me in the face," Basteld said, according to The Sun. "I told him that he accidently bumped me in the chest. It was something that happens in the heat of the game." Morgan State (3-9, 1-0 MEAC) beat South Carolina State 73-68 Saturday.

The remainder of the season will be coached by Kristina Frahm, a former bowler and four-time All-America selection. Assistant Coach Doug Dukes will remain with the team in the same capacity.

HSRN announces inaugural Conaway Cup Award

The Heritage Sports Radio Network (www. HSRN.com) has announced the establishment of the Conaway Cup Award, an annual award given to the HBCU national football champion in Division I and Division II. The inaugural award begins with champions from the 2011 season. The award is named in honor of HSRN's former Director of Communications and sideline reporter LeCounte Conaway who passed away November 21, 2011 following the network's broadcast of the Florida Classic. "For the dedication that he had to HBCU sports there is no person more worthy to have an award named on his behalf than LeCounte Conaway," says HSRN CEO Omarr Bashir. "We hope that the Conaway Cup will add to and preserve the legacy of HBCU sports for generations to come in the spirit of LeCounte". Conaway was a vanguard of HBCU Sports publicity. As a sports information director at Maryland-Eastern Shore, Virginia State, Hampton, Shaw and Delaware State, Conaway's tireless efforts brought major league attention to HBCU Sports.

Conaway's impact was also present on the conference level. He was a key gure in helping to publicize the CIAA Basketball Tournament through a tour of duty in the conference which also helped its growth into becoming one of the largest conference tournaments in America. He advanced the brand of HBCU Sports by combining modern technology, passion, and an unprecedented work ethic. His dream was to place HBCU Sports on a national platform and it was the skills he developed in media relations that helped him excel as Director of Communications for HSRN. He worked tirelessly to keep an HBCU FCS and Division II poll consistently managed for HSRN and his innovation led to a fan poll which has been a signature element on the network's website since its inception. The inaugural Conaway Cup recipients will be honored at halftime of basketball games on campus with a formal presentation to be broadcast live on HSRN. The Division II national champion is Winston Salem State of the CIAA. The Rams, led by HSRN Coach Of The Year Connell Maynor, nished the season with a 13-1 record and were within a game of playing for the NCAA Championship. Norfolk State, a former CIAA member before moving to Division I, won their rst MEAC football championship last season. The Spartans nished the season with a 9-3 record and a rst round loss to Old Dominion in their rst ever appearance in the NCAA FCS Playoffs.
