Myles Brand: A legacy of leadership
NCAA President Myles Brand, the first university president to serve as the Association’s chief executive and a champion of academic reform, fiscal responsibility and student-athlete well-being, died Wednesday from pancreatic cancer. Dr. Brand was a tremendous leader who always had the best interest of student-athletes in his mind and one who did a valuable job of steering the entire body in a very positive way. My family and I extend our deepest condolences to Myles Brand’s family – our thoughts are with them during this difficult time.
It would benefit you a great deal to read the legacy of Dr. Brand from the NCAA website.

The second annual 4Kay™ Golf Classic presented by Nike, was a huge success as 153 women’s basketball coaches, administrators and supporters of the Kay Yow/WBCA Cancer Fund®, in partnership with The V Foundation for Cancer Research, gathered in Greensboro, raising over $175,000 for women’s cancers research.
“The Kay Yow/WBCA Cancer Fund is very grateful to the ACC and the City of Greensboro for hosting the 2009 Classic,” said Marsha Sharp, Executive Director of the Fund. “The positive response from our sponsors and coaches resulted in a record $175,000 being raised for the Fund, an increase over last year’s $142,000.”
The celebration began with a charity auction and gala. Silent auction items donated from organizations around the nation raised nearly $10,000, but the real fireworks flew during the live auction.
The first item was a pair of tickets to the 2010 Orange Bowl, subject of a bidding battle between the Virginia Tech and Auburn coaching staffs. As the bid grew, the lot was sweetened by Miami head coach Katie Meier offering a dinner for four at Shula’s.

When coaching Women’s Basketball in the ACC Coach Kay Yow touches your life. It did mine and I’m grateful for it. No matter if you were an assistant coach, a student-manager, a student-athlete, media relations, trainer or operations person. Coach Yow would treat you with respect. You would feel important around her.
Coach Yow didn’t know me from Adam when I started on Debbie Ryan’s staff in 2005. Through the years, she greeted me, hugged me, spent a few moments visiting with me. Every time. There were other assistant’s I would see out on the road that never did that. I didn’t always do that. She gave us, as coaches, a shinning example of how to respect each other, how to respect the game and how to act within our profession. In any sport, any level, any gender – much of that respect for our profession is lost these days. That upset Coach Yow. It should upset us all.
I read an article recently by Mechell Voepel, shared below, that eloquently tells us… keep carrying on the fight, for Kay. All of us can help. Becoming aware, volunteering, donating.. anything that helps us make progress in fighting cancer is important. It is what is right. It helps us keep Coach Yow’s fight going.
Learn more. Consider donating. Do it for the one’s you love. Do it 4Kay. The 4Kay Classic, which is Sept. 14 in Greensboro, N.C.
