MN Gophers Add Three to Complete 2014 Signing Class
University
of Minnesota head men’s basketball coach Richard Pitino is pleased to
announce the signing of three student-athletes, Gaston Diedhiou, Bakary
Konate and Zach Lofton, to National Letters of Intent. Diedhiou and
Konate will join the Golden Gophers on the court for the upcoming
2014-15 season, while Lofton will redshirt this season due to NCAA
transfer rules.
Diedhiou,
a native of Senegal, is a 6’9” forward who most recently played at the
Canarias Basketball Academy in Spain under head coach Rob Orellana.
Diedhiou is an athletic, physical big man who has the potential to
impact both the offensive and defensive ends of the court. Extremely
versatile both on and off the court, he can play multiple positions and
even more impressively, he is fluent in three languages (French,
Spanish, English).
“We
are excited about signing Gaston,” said Pitino, who recently completed
his first year at the helm of Gopher basketball. “He brings a necessary
addition to our frontcourt. His size and potential will be a great asset
to our team.”
A 6’11”
center, Konate will join the Gophers following a standout career at the
Sunrise Christian Academy in Wichita, Kan. Under the tutelage of head
coach Kyle Lindsted and assistant coach Luke Barnwell, Konate is praised
by the Minnesota coaches for his strong work ethic and athleticism. The
Mali native can shoot from distance, but is also lauded for his
rebounding and shot blocking ability.
"Bakary
has tremendous potential – the sky is the limit for him,” Pitino said.
“He's a great athlete and shot blocker which is vital in our system.
His best days of basketball are certainly ahead of him."
A
St. Paul native, Lofton returns home to the Twin Cities following a
standout season at Illinois State University, where the 6’4” guard was
second on the Redbirds averaging 11.3 points per game. Lofton also
contributed 3.0 rebounds per game, 46 assists and 31 steals during his
time at ISU. He spent his freshman season at San Jacinto College in
Texas, averaging 16.6 points, 3.8 rebounds and 2.6 assists per game. In
high school, Lofton helped guide Columbia Heights to the Minnesota Class
3A state championship game.
"Zach
is a very talented player and has been a proven scorer in a very
competitive basketball conference,” added Pitino. “He has great size and
athleticism. He grew up loving the U and will wear the Minnesota
jersey with pride."
The
trio adds to the Gophers’ 2014 signing class, which includes guards
Nate Mason (Decatur, Ga./Arlington Country Day) and Carlos Morris
(Apalachicola, Fla./Chipola College) along with forward Josh Martin
(Bothell, Wash./Bothell).
“With
this signing class, we feel like we have added a great deal of
athleticism,” added Pitino. “That is extremely important with our style
of play and as we continue to build this program.”
Along
with the newcomers, Minnesota will return four starters and eight
letterwinners from the 2013-14 squad which won a school-record 25 games
en route to the National Invitation Tournament title.
NDSU Adds Eric Henderson as Men’s Basketball Assistant Coach
FARGO,
N.D. – North Dakota State University head men’s basketball coach David
Richman has announced that Eric Henderson will join the NDSU staff as an
assistant coach. Henderson gained several years of coaching experience
at Wayne State (Neb.) and Iowa State University before taking over
boys’ basketball head coaching duties at Burlington Catholic Central HS
in Wisconsin.
“My
family and I are extremely excited to join the North Dakota State men’s
basketball program and the entire Bison family,” Henderson said. “I
look forward to working with Coach Richman and the rest of the staff to
build on the strong tradition and relationships that are already
established within the basketball program, athletic department, and
community.”
Henderson
most recently served five seasons as the head boys’ basketball coach at
Burlington Catholic Central in Burlington, Wis., leading the school to a
21-5 record for the 2013-14 season. He also handled school principal
and athletic director duties during his stay in Burlington.
Henderson
spent three seasons on Greg McDermott’s staff at Iowa State from
2006-09 – one year as a graduate manager and two years as ISU’s academic
learning specialist, assisting in monitoring the academic progress of
Iowa State basketball student-athletes.
“Eric’s
passion for the game and enthusiasm for life are infectious and will
translate extremely well into our Bison basketball program,” said
Richman. “We look forward to welcoming Eric, his wife Alicia, and their
boys Kooper and Kort to the Fargo-Moorhead community and the NDSU
family.”
Henderson
played four seasons for McDermott at Wayne State, helping the Wildcats
to back-to-back NCAA Division II tournament appearances. As a senior in
1999-00, Henderson averaged 11.3 points and 11.1 rebounds as WSU tied
for the regular season conference championship, won the league
tournament and advanced to the NCAA Division II Sweet Sixteen.

Mt. SAC Relays one week ago. The Bison advanced to tomorrow’s final in
the event with the third-fastest time in the field.
NDSU
now stands at 12th in the nation this season in the 4x400m relay.
Saturday’s final will feature five teams ranked in the top 13 in the
country and seven teams in the national top 25 in the event.
Bison
sophomore Sierra Rosenau tacked another six inches onto her school
record in the javelin, placing fifth overall at 158-0 (48.16m). It was
the third time this season that Rosenau improved upon the NDSU all-time
best mark she set last year as a freshman. The Carrington, N.D., native
is ranked 36th in the NCAA this year.
Paige
Stratioti clocked the second-fastest 800m of her career in 2:06.04,
good for sixth place overall at Drake, and was held out of the 4x400m
relay prelims. Stratioti will likely join the relay team for tomorrow’s
final.
Heinze
ran the second-fastest 400m hurdles time of her career, finishing in
1:00.22 for 12th place overall. Senior Deborah John placed 13th in the

Timberwolves Rick Adelman Announces Coaching Retirement
Minneapolis/St. Paul – Minnesota Timberwolves head coach Rick Adelman today announced his retirement from coaching in the NBA after 23 seasons as a head coach. Adelman will remain with the Wolves in a consultant role.
"I
think it's time for me to step aside," said Adelman. "When I came here,
we really tried to see if we could turn some things around and we made
some strides. Not as much as we would have liked, but I think it's time
for me to step aside and let someone else come in with this group. We're
not that far away. I really enjoyed my time here. I thank Glen so much.
He's the best owner I've ever been around. Not only as an owner, but as
a person and everything. It's been an enjoyable experience, but I’m
ready and my wife’s ready to move on to another phase. We’re looking
forward to that."
Adelman ranks eighth all-time in NBA coaching wins with a 1042-749 (.582 winning percentage) career record in 23 seasons as a head coach. Adelman took over a Wolves team prior to the 2011-12 campaign that had won 15 and 17 games the previous two seasons, and won 26, 31 and 40 games under his leadership.
With a win over Detroit on April 6, 2013, Adelman became the eighth NBA
head coach to record 1,000 wins in a career. By reaching the milestone
in his 1,703rd NBA game, Adelman became the fifth-fastest NBA head coach
to win 1,000 NBA games.
"On
behalf of the Minnesota Timberwolves, I would like to thank Rick for
all he has done for our organization," said Timberwolves owner Glen
Taylor. "Under Rick's leadership, our team has improved each of the past
three seasons. It has been a pleasure getting to know Rick and his wife
Mary Kay, and I wish them the best in retirement."
"Coach
Adelman is truly one of the greatest coaches in our game’s history, and
he has helped restore credibility and respectability to the
Timberwolves franchise through what he stands for both on and off the
court,” said Timberwolves President of Basketball Operations Flip
Saunders. “He has impacted the NBA with his offensive vision and
influenced the philosophies of many coaches in the league. I wish Rick
and Mary Kay the very best in their future, and look forward to his
continued contributions to the Timberwolves organization.”
Adelman, 67, served as head coach of five NBA teams: Portland (1988-94), Golden State (1995-97), Sacramento (1998-2006), Houston (2007-11) and Minnesota (2011-2014).
Some of his coaching highlights include: two NBA Finals appearances
(1990 and 1992 with Portland), four Western Conference Finals (1989-90,
1990-91 and 1991-92 with Portland and 2001-02 with Sacramento) and four
division titles (1990-91 and 1991-92 with Portland; 2001-02 and 2002-03
with Sacramento).
"Rick
Adelman established himself as one of our game’s great coaches, manning
the NBA sidelines for the better part of a quarter century,” said NBA
Commissioner Adam Silver. “One of only eight
coaches in our history to amass 1,000 victories, Rick’s versatility and
rapport with his players ultimately led to that legacy of success. On behalf of the NBA, I would like to thank Rick for his extraordinary service to the league."
Adelman's
teams reached the NBA playoffs in 16 of his 23 seasons as a head coach,
and he holds an all-time playoff record of 79-78 (.503 winning
percentage). He is one of only five head coaches in NBA history to win
60+ games in a season with two different teams (Portland and
Sacramento). Adelman has been runner-up for the NBA Coach of the Year
award four times.
Adelman’s
trademark offenses have finished among the top five in the NBA in
scoring on 14 occasions over his head coaching career. He has had four
additional teams rank in the top 10 in points per game.
Adelman
began his coaching career at Chemeketa Community College in Salem,
Oregon, where his teams amassed a 141-39 record over six seasons
(1977-83). Chemeketa won or shared in three Oregon community college
championships and one regional title.
As
a player, Adelman spent seven seasons in the NBA with the San Diego
Rockets, Portland Trail Blazers, Chicago Bulls, New Orleans Jazz and
Kansas City-Omaha Kings. Selected by the Rockets in the seventh round
(79th overall) of the 1968 NBA Draft, the 6-2 guard averaged 6.7 points,
3.1 assists and 2.7 rebounds in two seasons as a reserve in San Diego.
Adelman was taken by Portland in the 1970 NBA Expansion Draft and was
made the first team captain in Trail Blazers history. Traded by the
Trail Blazers to the Bulls prior to the 1973-74 campaign, Adelman was
again dealt to the Jazz early in the 1974-75 season. Looking for veteran
leadership in their run to the 1975 NBA Playoffs, the Kings made a
late-season acquisition to obtain Adelman. He retired in 1975 with
career averages of 7.7 points, 3.5 assists and 2.4 rebounds in 462
regular season games.
Adelman
began his playing career at St. Pius X High School in Downey,
California, before attending Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles,
where he was named MVP of the West Coast Athletic Conference as a
senior in 1967-68.
A
native of Lynwood, California, Adelman and his wife, Mary Kay, who have
been married for more than 40 years, enjoy playing golf and tennis, as
well as spending time with their six children: Kathy and her husband,
John, R.J., Laura and her husband, Chris, David and his wife Jenny,
Caitlin and her husband Jeff, and Patrick; and eight grandchildren: Mary
Kay, Anna, Mackenzie, Emilie, Madison, Zachary, Tyler and L.J.
