The As-emblv Hall was built between 1959 and 1963 at a cost of $8.35 million. The structure consists ol lun concrete bowls placed lace to lace; the 4()0-foot diameter of the dome make> it the largest ol it- kind in the \vorld.

Henson's basketball career began in his home town. After taking his skills to Connors (Okla.) .lunior (College and New Mexico Slate (Irom \\lien> he graduated in 1955). he mo\c(l to a less lamiliar vantage point, the -idelines. He \entured immi'diatelv into coasi>t;int coach, finished ihc season witli 27 wins and tliree lo>ses. The final loss was to eventuaj-rhampion.

I (d,A decided to replace Wooden with then lllinoi- < oach Gene Bartow. Henson was chosen to fill the \acanc\ left h^ Bartow, and rebuild a team that finished 8-18 the previous year. He was the third coach in as many years for Illinois. Henson's combined record for his first three seasons at Illinois was just two ojames over .500. From then on. only once has he finished under ..')0(). Former assistant Tctnv Yates made recruiting inroads to Chicago, and Dick Nagv and Jimmy Collins have strengthened those ties. This has all pro\ided the foundation for a program that is generally considered one of the best in th(^ nation, vear-in and year-out. With the NIT final four appear- ance in 1980. a Big Ten co-champi- onship in 1984 (after which he was voted KSPN's National Coach of the \ ear). I 1 NCAA tournament appear- ances, including the Final Four trip to Seattle in 1989. the program has become renowned lor its consistently strong teams. Henson has always been a stickler for defense. His 1966 New Mexico State scpiad held its oppo- nents to .'59 percent shooting from the field. Since he has led the Fighting Illini program, the oppo- nents' combined field goal percent- age is 44.4. while the Illini have held their opponents to 69.1 points per game. Henson and his wife, Mary, live in Champaign and have three daughters. Lisa. Fori and Leicrh Anne. Iheir son, Lou ,lr.. who had entered the collegiate coachino; profession at Parkland (4)llege in Chamjiaign. was killed in an automo- bile accid.-nt Nov. 20, 1992.

Media Procedure for Interviews with Illinois Coaches, Athletes and Administrators To facilitate the schedules of Division of Intercollegiate Athletics' (DIA) coaches and administrators and to expedite media requests, the University of Illinois Sports Information Office encourages media personnel to arrange interview requests through the Sports Information staff. Whenever circumstances prevent media personnel the time or opportunity to follow this procedure, DIA coaches and administrators are encouraged to accommo- date media requests. This interview procedure is designed to enhance the availability of DIA staff members to answer questions from the media at a time which best facilitates each individual's schedule. Telephone calls to the homes of DIA staff members from the media may be made upon consent of the individual coach or staff member. Interview requests from the media for University of Illinois student-athletes should be arranged through the Sports Information Office. Media personnel are asked not to call the student-athlete at his residence. In most situations, the most convenient opportunity for media interviews is prior to the team practice sessions. If this is not a convenient time for the media, return tele- phone calls from the athletes to the media will be arranged. The student-athletes' academic endeavors are of the utmost importance, and they will not be asked to miss classes for purposes of a media interview. In most situations, student-athletes are not available on the day of scheduled intercollegiate competition until after the event is completed. 192 Viohlm^:^ Wlim BasW-thall 'BIGTEN Illinois Sports Information Staff MIKE PEARSON ^ I Mike Pearson began his sevenlli xcar as ^^^^^^^ sports iniorniation iliri'tliir at llie B ^^^^H I niversitv of Illinois in 1UM3. ^^ '^ W ^ jgY3 aiaduate of Micliigan State I niversits', he earned a l)a(helor"s degree in journalism while working as a student assistant in the MSII sports information office.
