Trojans announce new basketball coach

��Vlog��ý Little Rock — Thu, 31 Mar 2016 17:53:26 +0000

University officials have turned to a Little Rock native to continue the men’s basketball team’s recent success. On Thursday, Little Rock Trojans Director of Athletics Chasse Conque announced Associate Head Coach Wes Flanigan had been promoted to the team’s top leadership position. “As someone who was born and raised in Little Rock, this is a dream come true,” Flanigan said. In addition to serving as associate head coach on the Trojans’ record-setting 2015-16 team, Flanigan was a Little Rock assistant coach from 2004-08 and also previously served on staffs at Mississippi State, Nebraska and the University of Alabama at Birmingham. “We are fortunate to have Wes Flanigan leading our men’s basketball program,” Conque said. “Wes brings a wealth of experience, strong recruiting ties and a tireless work ethic to this position. He has all the necessary tools to build on the momentum of Little Rock basketball, and is determined to build Trojan basketball into a championship-caliber program year in and year out.” Flanigan thanked Conque and Chancellor Joel Anderson for the opportunity and also expressed gratitude for the love and support of his family.

“But none of this happens without the student-athletes on our team,” Flanigan said. “We asked each of them to sacrifice, and they bought in, worked hard, were unselfish, and through that we have established a culture. The next step for us is determining how far we can go as a team. For all the success we had last season, together we all can help Little Rock take the next step.” With Flanigan serving as associate head coach, Little Rock established new program records for wins (30), Sun Belt wins (17) and road wins (12) last season. The Trojans won their first-ever outright Sun Belt Conference Championship in the regular season before winning the league’s postseason tournament for the second time. Twelfth-seeded Little Rock knocked off No. 5 seed Purdue – which ended the regular season ranked No. 12 and No. 10 in the AP Top 25 and USA TODAY Coaches Poll – in the opening round of the NCAA Tournament. Little Rock’s win over Purdue was the program’s second NCAA Tournament win, and its first in three decades. The Trojans became the first team in Sun Belt Conference history to win 30 games in a season. “Thanks to the Little Rock Trojans, the world knows about our university and our city,” Chancellor Joel Anderson said. “Everyone knows we had an outstanding basketball team this year. The good news is that with Coach Wes Flanigan, our basketball team is not going to miss a beat as we move to next season.” The previous coach, Chris Beard, stepped down after the season to take the head coaching position at UNLV. The Trojans won 18 or more games twice during Flanigan’s first run in Little Rock. In the 2007-08 season, the Trojans won 20 games while Flanigan served as associate head coach and recruiting coordinator. Flanigan joined ��Vlog��ýB as an assistant coach in 2008-09. Over two seasons in Birmingham, the Blazers won 47 games and made two NIT appearances. In 2009-10, the Blazers went 25-9 to match a program record for victories before reaching the quarterfinals of the NIT.

Hire draws praise from fellow coaches “He’s a relentless worker – that’s the way he played and that’s the way he coaches,” said Mike Davis, former ��Vlog��ýB head coach and current head coach at Texas Southern. “He coached with me at ��Vlog��ýB, and he gave great effort and had a great understanding and feel for the game of basketball. He was a point guard when he played, and his basketball IQ has carried over into his coaching.” Flanigan was an assistant coach at Nebraska for two seasons (2010-12) before serving on Rick Ray’s staff at Mississippi State from 2012-15. “Wes Flanigan is the most genuine person that I have had the pleasure to work with in our profession,” Ray said. “Wes has a sincere interest in the welfare of student-athletes. He has a tremendous rapport with players, high school and AAU coaches, and is well-respected in all circles. Wes will be an excellent representative for the University of Arkansas at Little Rock both on and off the court.” Flanigan joined the Trojans in 2004 after five seasons as an assistant coach at Northwest Mississippi Community College. During his time at Northwest, Flanigan worked with both the men’s and women’s teams and helped lead the men’s squad to a record of 119-39. The Northwest men’s program also won three Region XXIII championships and earned three trips to the National Junior College Athletic Association National Championship tournament during Flanigan’s tenure. The Rangers also captured two MACJC North Division titles and the state championship in 2001. Flanigan was named the 1992-93 Gatorade High School Player of the Year in Arkansas while playing for Charles Ripley and his father, Al, at Little Rock Parkview High School. “I’m the happiest man in Little Rock,” Ripley, current coach at Arkansas Baptist College, said. “He played for me and was a great player. His dad was my assistant coach, just like another head coach. The main things are that Wes’ integrity, work ethic, relationships with young people and his ability to evaluate and recruit talent all earn high marks.” Flanigan went on to earn four letters at Auburn (1993-97), where he was All-SEC as a junior and team co-captain for three seasons. He finished his college career averaging 10.1 points, 4.8 assists and 2.4 rebounds per game. He ranks second on Auburn’s career assists list (573) and is 22nd on the program’s all-time scoring list (1,228). “I think Little Rock has gotten a gem,” Cliff Ellis, Flanigan’s head coach at Auburn and current head coach at Coastal Carolina, said. “This guy knows the game and understands the game. It’s been bred into him by his family. He understands the state of Arkansas and is constantly studying the game. He’s got it all – he understands the game, is a great recruiter and understands all the parts of the job that come with it.” Flanigan graduated from Auburn in 1997 with a degree in health promotion and was the recipient of the Cliff Hare Award, presented annually to the university’s top student-athlete. He and his wife, Katrina, have three sons: Michael Lewis, Allen and Collin.

Trojans’ success raises university profile

Shanna Fitzgerald — Thu, 24 Mar 2016 21:23:55 +0000

Students who gathered at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock Donaghey Student Center shouted in celebration, danced, and raised their hands in triumph. They had just watched senior men’s basketball player Josh Hagins sink an off-balance three-point shot, completing an improbable 14-point second-half comeback and keeping alive a record-breaking season. The shot — replayed over and over on sports highlight shows — sent the first round March 17 NCAA March Madness Tournament game into overtime, with the 12th-seeded Little Rock Trojans eventually prevailing in double overtime over fifth-seeded Purdue. Little Rock and Josh Hagins instantly started trending on Twitter, with tweets mentioning Little Rock Trojans reaching nearly 2 million people. A Facebook post on the celebrating the Trojans’ win reached almost 150,000 people. The world was watching. Hundreds of national, regional, and state news stories followed, raising the profile of a program that already was getting more than its usual attention. Although the Trojans’ season ended in the second round, the 30-5 team continued to be a topic of conversation. “Millions of people were talking about the Little Rock Trojans last week,” ��Vlog��ýLR Chancellor Joel E. Anderson said. “You can’t buy that kind of positive media exposure. There is so much emotion involved in athletics that engages people with an institution and strengthens the emotional attachment.” Related: 7-year-old from Milwaukee adopts the Trojans University leaders say they hope to build on that momentum and extend it to other parts of the campus. A higher profile for the basketball program could pay dividends for not only season ticket sales, but also admission applications and private fundraising. “With so many folks watching the Little Rock Trojans play and celebrating with us the incredible victory over Purdue, ��Vlog��ýLR is enjoying a surge of community support,” Anderson said. “We are proud to be a source of pride for Little Rock, for Arkansas, and alumni across the nation.”

Preparing for success

Even before the games began, the athletics department had a plan for engaging the campus, connecting with the Little Rock-area community, and positioning the program for long-term strength. “I’m very proud that we had ourselves in a position to handle all the success and take advantage of it,” said Chasse Conque, who joined ��Vlog��ýLR in January 2015 as athletic director. Three months later, he hired a new coach, rebranded the team as the Little Rock Trojans rather than the traditional ��Vlog��ýLR acronym, started a robust season ticket campaign, and created the student booster group. Conque said the collaboration with other parts of the campus was “unbelievable,” noting the support he received from students, administrators, the communications and advancement teams, and faculty and staff. “Athletics has a unique way of bringing a lot of different folks, a lot of different areas, a lot of different disciplines together,” Conque said. “It promotes the collegiate experience. We’re just one part of that, but I feel a very important part.”

Building ties, promoting collaboration

Before the season, athletics and university officials worked to solidify connections with the business community in central Arkansas and with organizations such as the and the . The goal was to get people engaged early on.

Thanks to those efforts, a record-breaking season, and a promotional push for the final home games of the season, the Trojans set attendance records and sold out two of their final three home games. “The city was incredible. The support, especially down the stretch was super,” Conque said. “To see our city respond in that fashion was really encouraging.” Anderson said, “In my 13 years as chancellor, I have not been part of anything like the positive attention the university has received from the success of our men’s basketball program this year,” Anderson said. “Wherever I have been in Little Rock — meetings downtown, a restaurant, church, walking across campus — people stop me and talk about the Little Rock Trojans and how proud they are of them.” Support from the city will be a key part of the Trojans’ continued success, Conque said, and one of the best ways the city can support the program is by.

Moving forward

“The next step is to be consistent,” Conque said. He noted the women’s team — which finished second in the Sun Belt Conference this year and earned a trip to the NIT, its eighth postseason trip in nine seasons — already has that consistency. The combined accomplishments of the two teams really stood out this season, Anderson said. “I have been a fan of ��Vlog��ýLR athletics for more than 30 years, and there has never been a season that matched this one with 30 wins by the men’s team of Coach Chris Beard’s and an outstanding 20 wins by the women’s team of Coach Joe Foley—a total of 50 basketball victories,” he said.

NCAA Tournament exposure

For only the second time in team history, the Trojans men’s team reached the second round of the NCAA Tournament. In addition to the players and coaches, national TV cameras captured images of Conque, Anderson, and prominent ��Vlog��ýLR alumni and fans during various stages of the tournament. “While watching the Purdue game, I received more text messages in a short period of time than I ever have before — from family, friends, alumni around the country,” Anderson said. “What fun it was.” He noted that many of the messages arrived because he often was in the shot when cameras focused on , the former ��Vlog��ýLR and NBA player who also has coached in the NBA. “But the impressive thing is that all these people were watching the game.” Conque said he stayed up until early in the morning responding to all the congratulatory messages he received.

Merchandise sales

While the effects of the team’s tournament run might take time to accurately measure, one area where the team’s success had an instant impact was the demand for merchandise. Clothing sales at the ��Vlog��ýLR Bookstore were up more than 200 percent in March from the previous year, and the run on clothing started with the Trojans’ Sun Belt Tournament appearance. “Those Trojans fans really helped us out,” said Brenda Thomas, bookstore manager. “We had parents and people from the community coming in and buying shirts. Everyone wanted the new logo.” Other merchandise items, like umbrellas, cups and hats also were popular. “Anything that had the ��Vlog��ýLR logo just seems like it was walking out the door,” Thomas said.

Desire to return

Now that the team and the university have tasted success, they want to get back to the NCAA tournament. The Athletics Department is poised for continued success under Conque and its head coaches, Anderson said. “All of them are committed to success in athletic competitions, and their trophies document that,” Anderson said. “All of them are also committed to success in the classroom, and the high grade-point averages and graduation rates of our student athletes document that. Fans of the Little Rock Trojans have much to be proud of.”

Looking ahead

How far can the Trojans go in future years? A quality coaching staff, the necessary resources and the continued support of the campus will play major roles in the program’s continued success, Conque said. The team’s connection to the Little Rock area also will continue to be critical. “We can go only as far as our city will help us go,” Conque said. Conque is convinced the athletics department is just getting started. “I truly believe this isn’t lightning in a bottle,” Conque said. “We can be whoever and whatever we want to be.” Angie Faller contributed to this story.�� Note: Since this story was originally published, Chris Beard, the men’s basketball coach .��
