up for the challenge For the 2008-09 season, the Miner men’s basketball team has gone big, adding some inside size to back up the strong perimeter play of star senior guard Stefon Jackson and sophomore shooter Randy Culpepper. Joining 6-foot-11 returnee Claude Britten on the roster are 7-foot Memphis transfer Kareem Cooper and 6-foot-11 freshman Arnett Moultrie. Head Coach Tony Barbee is looking for this new balanced lineup to improve on last year’s 19-14 record. Jackson, who led C-USA in scoring last year, is on pace to become UTEP’s all-time scoring leader. Photo of Tony Barbee by Bruce Berman Courtesy of El Paso Magazine Q&A: Coach Tony Barbee What is your coaching philosophy? Play with tenacity and toughness. Always give more than what people expect of you. Who do you consider your role model? My dad. What do you expect of your players? Be solid citizens and accountable students, but don’t be afraid to take on my personality on the court. What you didn’t know about Barbee: The 37-year-old Indianapolis native is a huge Colts fan. What’s on your iPod? Music! I listen to everything. I was a hip hop baby, but I listen to everything from classic rock to Motown to soul. Favorite flicks or TV shows? Entourage, The Sopranos, Hoosiers What do you do when you’re off the court? I’m an open book; I have no major hobbies outside of basketball. Barbee has been head coach of the Miner men’s basketball team since 2005. Under his leadership, the team has gone to a more up-tempo style that has translated to being more aggressive and more competitive on the court. 48 winter 2008
