Eagles Eager to Enter 2005-06 Season YPSILANTI, Mich.--Charles E. Ramsey has been waiting a lifetime for the 2005-06 basketball season to open. After being born and raised in Ypsilanti, graduating from Eastern Michigan University, and working as an assistant coach from California to Tennessee, Ramsey is back home as the man in charge of directing the Eastern Michigan University basketball team. Ramsey was named EMU’s head men’s basketball coach, March 30, 2005, a day that was special for a lot of reasons. “This is a tremendous opportunity for me to be the head coach at Eastern Michigan University,” Ramsey said. “I don’t know if you could plan or wish to have an experience like this happen. To be born, raised and educated here and then to have my first intercollegiate head coach job here — I’m not sure you could plan it any better.” While the return home means a lot to the first-year head coach, Ramsey knows that the hard work is just beginning. “We are inheriting a program that hasn’t had much success the last few years,” Ramsey said. “The upside of that, however, is that we know there has been success here in the past and in time we can recapture that winning experience.” While Ramsey has only been on the job for several months, he has been busy building a staff as well as a basketball team that expects to be competitive in the 2005- 06 season. “Initially we’ve had some losses because of academic reasons so that set us back a little,” Ramsey explained. “I don’t think we are as talented as we would like to be, but our entire staff has been impressed with the character of the players and their work ethic,” Ramsey added. “The kids have done a tremendous job on and off the court, in the classroom and in the weight room, and they have done a lot of things together to build cohesiveness. I think you can squeeze a few wins out of that camaraderie.” First-year Head Coach Charles E. Ramsey speaks at the press conference naming him Eastern Michigan University’s men’s head basketball coach, March 30, 2005. With a roster that totals just seven letterwinners, some with little playing experience, along with seven newcomers, the Eagles will need to develop some team chemistry before taking the court for the first time. “We definitely have some expectations, program wise, that will not necessarily be measurable in wins or losses,” Ramsey explained. “There are certain things we will want to do, day in and day out, that might not always manifest itself in a win, but will let us know where we need to be for the long-team success of the program.” Ramsey and his staff are counting on the two senior co-captains, John Bowler (6-9, 260, Sr.) and Danny McElhinny (6- 0, 175, Sr.), to be the team leaders both on and off the court to make the transition an easy one for a relatively young squad. Bowler enters his senior season as a preseason All-Mid-American Conference candidate as one of the top big men in the league. Bowler has enjoyed a great EMU career, playing in 84 games and starting 55 times over the past three seasons. He enters this year’s campaign tied for 32nd on the Eagles all-time scoring list (864), is 21st in rebounding (500) and his 50 blocks ranks 11th on the EMU career list. He has scored in double figures 49 times and has recorded five or more rebounds 53 times and has had 10 double-figure rebound games. Bowler ranks 83rd in scoring in EMU with 486 points, and has turned in 15 double-double scoring-rebounding games. Last season Bowler was second on the squad in scoring at 13.1 and in rebounding at 6.3, marks which ranked 15th and eighth in the league respectively. “Our leadership heading into the season has been excellent,” Ramsey said. “John (Bowler) and Danny (McElhinny) have really taken this as a personal challenge to bring the young guys along and that has been a positive experience for them and our entire team. “I fully expect John Bowler to be one of the top players in the MAC,” Ramsey added. “I refer to him as 20 and 10. I think he has all of the physical attributes to be a guy that scores 20 points and grabs 10 rebounds. If he does that it will bode well for our team. “Danny McElhinny brings a special skill to the game,” Ramsey added. “He can really shoot the basketball, and he will get an opportunity to do just that. He also brings a knowledge to the game and is a tremendous defender as well. McElhinny has also seen plenty of action in his first three seasons of competition, playing in 82 games, 21 as a starter. He has scored 359 career points, and ranks 10th in three-point field goals with 99. He led the 2004--05 Eagles in triple tries, making 54-of-124 for 43.5 percent, good for the 13th ranking in the MAC. McElhinny also paced the team in free- 200 2005- 200 -0 -06 -00 E E E MU MU BASK BASKE BASK TBAL TBAL TBALL TBAL 9
