ENMU Athletic Director Requests Reassignment After 22 years at Eastern as the volleyball coach and athletic director, Coach Maguire will become responsible for athletic fundraising, special events and will teach. He has served as the athletic director at ENMU for the last eight years, and stepped down as volleyball coach in 2006 after guiding the team for 20 years. He led ENMU to the Lone Star Conference regular season volleyball title in 1991 and to regular season and tournament titles in 1993. The 1998, 1999 and 2000 teams reached the semifinals of the LSC Tournament. He was named LSC Coach-of-the-Year in 1991, 1993 and 1995, and was chosen LSC South Coach-of-the-Year in 1999. The Zias earned the best record in school history in 1993, finishing 33-6 overall. He was a basketball starter at Eastern from 1976-78, then went to Mesa State to finish his playing career and earn a B.A. in psychology (1981). He added a master’s in physical education from ENMU in 1984. Coach Maguire was head volleyball coach at Chadron State in 1985 and became ENMU’s head coach in 1987. His career record at both schools is 401-257 (.609). As athletic director, he accomplished the expansion of ENMU athletic teams in men’s and women’s soccer and the reestablishment of the men’s and women’s track and field teams. He also oversaw the construction of baseball and softball field houses, the ENMU soccer field, and the resurfacing of the University track. Under his direction, ENMU also added a full-time compliance position to ensure that ENMU complies with all NCAA rules. According to ENMU president Steven Gamble, Coach Maguire, along with the coaches, stressed academic success for Eastern’s student-athletes. The cumulative grade point average for the 354 athletes for the 2008 fall semester was 3.02, well above the student body average. Other recent accomplishments included the athletic department being recognized by the National Consortium for Academics and Sports in a national publication for their community service efforts. In addition, the NCAA honored the ENMU athletic department with their inaugural Community Engagement Award for the Lone Star Conference for the High Hopes Benefit Dinner and Dance, which raised $6,000 for the restoration of the historic YAM Theatre in Portales. The benefit is being held again this year on March 14 in the Campus Union Ballroom. A search committee, chaired by Faculty Athletic Representative Gene Smith, will conduct a nationwide search and will make a recommendation to President Gamble on a successor to Coach Maguire. President Gamble said, “Coach Mike Maguire has been athletic director during a time of significant expansion of Eastern’s athletic program. He has always demonstrated integrity in all that he has done, and we are grateful he will remain involved in ENMU athletics.” Employee/Alumni/Student Briefs Attila Hertelendy, director EMS Management Program and assistant professor in the College of Business, had his abstract titled "Has the proportion of EMS-related research authored by paramedics changed over the last 10 year?" accepted by the Prehospital Care Research Forum at UCLA for both oral and poster presentation at the annual EMS Today Conference in Baltimore in March.
