Kent discusses players,
coaching style in lecture
The coach spoke to students
and faculty on Wednesday,
reflecting on his coaching
and leadership experience
Jonah Schrogin
Freelance Reporter
It’s not every day that students
get to hear men’s basketball head
coach Ernie Kent speak about
leadership and change. On
Wednesday, however, Kent spoke
to about 50 students and faculty
members about his coaching style,
which he said stems from his com
passion and quest for unity.
After coaching for seven years
in Saudi Arabia, Kent said he
moved back to the United States
and became an assistant coach at
Colorado State University and
then at Stanford University. He fi
nally got his big break when he be
came the head coach at St. Mary’s
College in Northern California.
While he was successful with
the team at St. Mary’s, the players
told Kent they couldn’t relate to
him because he had adopted a mil
itaristic style different from other
coaches he had worked with in the
past. Kent said he decided to
change his coaching style to be
more compassionate and caring
toward players.
After this change, Kent said his
career took off. He said he believes
that in order for individuals and
the team to be successful, he has
to find a way into the players’ spir
its, and he wants to help each of
them “soften their heart.”
Kent added that before each sea
son, his team goes on a retreat to
the mountains, where the goal is
to allow the players to open up in
a way that is considered a weak
ness for men in today’s society. By
doing this, he said the players
build a sense of togetherness and
trust that is crucial to success on
the basketball court.
First-year graduate student Erin
Barnhart found Kent’s speech to
be interesting and informative.
“He had really great use of humor
and personal stories to reflect what
some great approaches to leadership
are,” she said. “He had good points as
far as coming back to that base and
coming back to character.”
Planning, public policy and man
agement Assistant Professor Marc
Schlosserg said Kent’s talk was ap
plicable to his own teaching. He
said he likes how Kent lets his stu
dents go and watches them grow.
“Effective leadership can often be
leadership where you’re not the ac
tive vocal boss — that you can be
someone who can step back and let
other people develop to their full
potential,” Schlosserg said.
The event was part of a lecture
series on leadership and change
organized by the PPPM depart
ment. PPPM Undergraduate Pro
gram Director Rich Margerum said
the event was a huge success, and
he plans on featuring more guest
speakers on leadership and change
next year.
“We felt that it would be a good
opportunity not just to talk about it
in the class, but also bring mem
bers of the community in to have
students hear about the issues they
are dealing with,” Margerum said.

Night
continued from page 1
Aiming to end violence against
women, Take Back the Night events
began in Italy in 1976 and have
been staged at universities nation
wide for 25 years. Today, Take Back
the Night celebrates its 10th year at
the University, with an appearance
by local feminist group The Radical
Cheerleaders and performances by
circus group Well-Oiled Machine
and musician Nicole Barrett Sang
suree, beginning at 6:00 p.m. in the
EMU Amphitheater.
“People are angry,” Sangsuree
said. “It’s not fair. It’s not fair that
we have to be afraid. There is this
idea that women can’t survive,
and it’s like, ‘Yeah, we can.’”
At the rally, international stud
ies Professor Anita Weiss will
speak about global violence
against women, while women and
gender studies visiting Associate
Professor Gwyneth Kirk will dis
cuss the impact of militarism on
women. Sophomore Miranda Vor
res will also speak on behalf of
Students for Peace.
“We’ve made a special effort
this year to bring in a global per
spective and tie the issue of inter
personal violence to violence on a
larger scale,” ASUO Women’s
Center Office Coordinator Lori
Brown said in an e-mail interview.
Immediately following the rally
will be a march to Eighth Avenue
and Oak Street, where partici
pants will be welcomed with
drumming by local band Womyn
at Play.
SASS Community Education
Program Coordinator Michelle Ed
wards said the march will be di
vided into several sections, but
participants can choose where
they want to walk.
“Folks who identify as women
"People are angry. It's
not fair. It's not fair
that we have to be
afraid. There is this
idea that women can't
survive and it's tike,
'Yeah, we can.'"
Nicole Barrett Sangsuree
musician
will have a safe spot in the front,”
she said.
She added that survivors of sex
ual assault who wish to identify
themselves will be offered the op
tion of wearing a teal armband
throughout the evening.
Survivors can also sign up at
the event to participate in the
speak out, an open-mic session
held at the end of the march for
men and women to share their
sexual assault stories.
“I did the speak out, where I first
publicly talked about (the sexual
assault),” Helmick said. “There
was huge support of women to fur
ther my healing process.”
Food will be provided after the
speak out, and Sangsuree will per
form “A Love Song for Women,” a
song she wrote for last year’s Take
Back the Night, followed by a clos
ing speech from Womenspace
Community Outreach Director
Margo Schaefer.
Brown said she has seen an in
crease in the number of sexual as
sault incidences that are reported
on campus in the past four years,
something she believes is a re
sponse to events such as Take
Back the Night.
“The more you increase your
community’s awareness of sexual
assault, the more likely it is that
people impacted by it identify
themselves as survivors and feel
safe enough to speak out about
their experiences,” she said.
After first discussing her abuse
two years ago, Helmick said she
underwent training to be a peer
facilitator for adult sexual abuse
survivors and sees events such as
Take Back the Night as a way for
women to reach out.
“As long as they can look for
support and find support, the
process is that much easier,” she
said. “Don’t do it alone.”

sault support, contact the ASUO
