Jimmy Tillette (SA '68), head basketball coach at Samford University in Birmingham, suffered a seizure Saturday, January 23, 2010, on the sideline next to the bench during the second half of the Bulldogs' game at UNC Greensboro.

• Caught by an assistant coach as he collapsed, Jimmy was treated first in the UNCG locker room, then taken to a local hospital where he spent the night.
• "Coach Tillette is awake and responsive," said Samford Assistant Sports Information Director Zac Schrieber. "He was obviously a bit groggy but was talking and sitting up in the ambulance on his way to the hospital."
• The team held on to win the game 70-67 to improve to 9-10 for the season.

Doctors determined that the seizure was caused by bleeding from a blood vessel above his right ear.

• After extensive tests, the doctors decided it was an isolated incident and that the physically-fit coach could return to his team after a week's rest.
• Of the many callers and well-wishers, the one who touched Tillette the most was Marge Griffin. Her son, Jim, a senior leader on the Bulldogs, had died from a heart attack while sleeping in his dorm room the previous September.
• Jimmy showed his New Orleans roots when plans were made to airlift him the next day from Greensboro to UAB Hospital in Birmingham. After weather delayed the flight five hours, Tillette told medical personnel he didn't want to miss watching the Saints in the NFC Championship game. So the trip was postponed until Monday.

Released from the hospital Tuesday, January 26, Tillette missed three games before returning to practice February 1. He prowled the sidelines again February 4 at The Citadel.

In his fourth season at the helm, Dale Valdery ('71) coached the Southern University of New Orleans to the championship of the Gulf Coast Athletic Conference Tournament in Jacksonville FL in early March 2012.

• The Knights, seeded third, defeated Edward Waters College 75-63 in the first round.
  
• Next, they played cross town rival Xavier and won 66-65.
  
• SUNO upset #1 seed Tougaloo College in the finals 79-58.
• Three Knights made the all-tournament team, including MVP Devin White.
  

The victory earned SUNO a berth in the NAIA National Tournament in Kansas City MO for the first time since 2004.

• Kevin Dukes' fadeaway jumper in the line with 3.9 seconds remaining lifted the unseeded Knights to an improbable 94-92 OT victory over #3 Robert Morris (IL). Dale explained:

I just thought the second half we played much better defense and were more under control on offense. Those were the things that carried us. Also, we knew he (Morris's leading scorer Diante Watkins) was going to get his points, so we had to limit the other guys and we did a pretty good job of taking them out of the game in the second half. That's a tremendous team. My hat goes off to them. If we continue to play defense the way we are, we'll probably be in every game we play.

• The next day, Georgetown College (KY) eliminated SUNO 78-52.

Valdery, a member of back-to-back Brother Martin state champions in 1970 and '71, began his coaching career in 1977 shortly after graduating from Xavier.

• The began the women's basketball program at the school, winning acclaim as both District and Metro Coach of the Year in 1981.
• He took over the Gold Rush men's program in 1990 after stints as a men's assistant at Southern (BR), Grambling State, and Xavier.
• Dale won GCAC Coach of the Year honors in 2001 and his team made three NAIA tournament appearances and claimed the most wins in Xavier history.

Bobby Nuss ('48) was a gridiron standout at St. Aloysius for Coach Wop Glover.

• Before the start of the 1946 season, The Aloysian said that Glover was grooming "a new and exciting G" named Bobby Nuss.
• After two seasons as a starter, he made the Times Picayune second team All-Prep and gained Honorable Mention for All-State. Ron Brocato lists Bobby as one of the "Great Players of the 40s."
• Bobby earned a football scholarship to Tulane where he lettered his junior and senior seasons. Co-captain of the Green Wave in 1952, he played in the Blue-Gray All-Star game at the end of that season.

Nuss began coaching at his high school alma mater right after graduating from Tulane in 1953.

• He was an assistant in football through the 1960 season under Coach Andy Douglass.
• Bobby also coached the 1953-4 JV basketball team to its eleventh straight Prep championship.
• He coached the JV baseball team that year also until his induction into the Army a few weeks before school ended.

Bobby left to become the head coach at Chalmette High School for 1961.

• He coached the Owls in football and track and served as AD for 19 years. His gridiron teams had 12 winning seasons, including 10 consecutive winning seasons from 1965-75. For the last nine of those years, CHS competed in the Catholic League.
