The Emporia State Hornets basketball team represents Emporia State University in Emporia, Kansas, in the NCAA Division II men's basketball competition (the school's women's basketball team is known as the "Lady Hornets"). The team is currently coached by Shaun Vandiver,^[1] who replaced David Moe after he resigned.^[2] The Hornets currently compete in the Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletics Association.

History

Emporia State's basketball program was founded in 1901, thirty-eight years after the university was founded.^[3] Since 1901, the Hornets have belonged to six conferences. When the school was an National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics, they participated in the Kansas Collegiate Athletic Conference, Central Intercollegiate Athletic Conference, Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference, Great Plains Athletic Conference, and the Central States Intercollegiate Conference. When the university was recognized as an NCAA Division II school, they joined the Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletics Association(MIAA).^[4]

1901–1918

Homer Woodson Hargiss

Earl Carney was the first coach, earning a 10–29 record over six seasons from 1901 to 1907.^[3] The inaugural game was a 12–13 loss to the Florence Opera House, a team from Florence, Kansas. ESU would then clinch their first ever victory against the Florence Opera House later that year – 35–21.^[5] For the next two seasons, Paul Sampson took over the helm of the program, compiling a 20–8 record. Following Sampson was Fred Honhart for three seasons, who led the Normals (as the school's teams were known until 1921) to a 27–10 record from 1909 to 1912.^[3] From 1912 until 1918, Emporia State went through three coaches with a combined record of 58–45: George Crispin (1912–1914), Homer Woodson Hargiss (1914–1916, 1917–1918) and H. D. McChesney from 1916 to 1917.^[6] Due to World War I, Emporia State did not have a team from 1918 to 1920.^[6]

1920–1943

A.A. Schabinger

In 1920, Emporia State resumed sports after World War I ended. A.A. Schabinger, also known as Arthur Schabinger, led the Normals from 1920 to 1922. He had a combined record of 24–9. Homer Woodson Hargiss was the head basketball coach at Emporia State three times—first from 1914 to 1916, then from 1917 to 1918 and then from 1922 to 1923. During his total of four seasons, he garnered a record of 47–19. Vic Trusler was the only other coach at Emporia State to serve more than one time as the head basketball coach at the school.^[6] After having Schabinger and Hargiss at the helm, Trusler took the job from 1923–1925 and then again from 1927–1936. After serving as coach for two seasons, Llyod McGahn took the job for only two seasons with a combined record of 22–13. After McGhan left in 1925, Trusler again took the job, remaining in that position until 1936. He departed after leading his teams to 84 wins, 59 losses. From 1936 to 1943, Paul Kutnick lead the Hornets with a 66–60 record.^[6] Due to World War II, ESU had no team from 1943 to 1946.

1946–1998

After starting the sports programs back up after World War II, Gus Fish served as head coach from 1946 to 1970 compiling a record of 323–279 (.537) record.^[7] Fish led the Hornets to six conference championships, tied for another, and made six appearances in the NAIA national tournament, placing fourth in 1946 and 1964. While at ESU, Fish also served as the president of the NAIA in 1955 and helped establish the NAIA track & field program. In 1960, Fish assisted with the U.S. Olympic basketball team and also was inducted into the NAIA Hall of Fame. Until 1990, Fish was the all-time winningest coach at Emporia State.^[8]

Ron Slaymaker took over the program when Gus Fish retired in 1970.^[9] Slaymaker is the winningest coach in Emporia State history, with a record of 452–348 (.565). After coaching for 28 years at ESU, Slaymaker finished with 452 victories, five conference titles and four district championships.^[10] He was named the NAIA National Coach of the Year in 1986, when the Hornets went 31–5. He was also named the District 10 Coach of the Year six times and was the assistant coach for the 1986 U.S. Olympic Festival, Assistant Coach for the U.S. at the 1987 World University Games and served on the 1988 Olympic Basketball Selection Committee. Slaymaker also led ESU to four trips to the NAIA National Tournament.^[10]

Venue and culture

Home arena

Main article: William L. White Auditorium

Since 1940, home basketball games have been played at William L. White Auditorium, a 5,000-seat arena which is named after William Lindsay White, son of William Allen White.^[23] The auditorium is also home to the men's basketball team and the Lady Hornets volleyball team since the program started in 1973.^[24] In 2008, White Auditorium received an upgrade with a new scoreboard and video board, as well as a new color scheme on the arena floor and the throughout the entire building.^[23]

Mascots

Main article: Corky the Hornet

Corky the Hornet is Emporia State University's mascot.^[4] In the 1930s, when Emporia State University was named Kansas State Teachers College, the athletic teams were known as the "Yaps". Many people were not fond of the name, most notably legendary coach, Vic Trusler.^[25] Trusler suggested to a local writer, Cecil Carle of the Emporia Gazette, that the university's athletic teams should be called the "Yellow Jackets". However, the name changed to "Hornets" because of the lack of newspaper space.^[25]

In 1933, the Kansas State Teachers College had a student contest where students and staff could design a mascot for the college. A sophomore by the name of Paul Edwards, who graduated in 1937, designed Corky for a campus–wide logo contest. Many students sent in their drawings of a mascot, but they chose Edwards' Corky, a "human–like" hornet. Corky was published in The Bulletin, the student newspaper for Emporia State University.^[25]

In August 2014, it was announced that in January 2015, Corky will have a nephew.^[26] Buz will be a smaller, more "child friendly" hornet that will visit local schools, participate in community events and be present at ESU activities. Buz will be designed by Corky's creator, Paul Edwards, who is turning 100 years old in January 2015. Buz will also debut in January 2015 at Edwards' birthday party.^[26]
