Dunleavy was the 1999 NBA Coach of the Year. He spent 17 years as an NBA head coach with the Los Angeles Lakers, Clippers, Milwaukee Bucks and Portland Trailblazers.

A native of Denver, Korte was drafted by the New Orleans Saints in the second round in the 1983 NFL draft out of Arkansas. He played in 83 for the Saints over eight seasons from 1983-90. At Arkansas, Korte was a unanimous All-American in 1982, was named All-Southwest Conference twice and is on the All-Century team at Arkansas. Korte was inducted into the Arkansas Sports Hall of Honor in 2015. Korte was part of the first playoff team in New Orleans Saints history in 1987.

In his fifth year as head coach at his alma mater, Meyers has his Cardinals in the playoffs once again after leading Belle Chasse to a second round appearance a year ago. He took the Cardinals to the playoffs in 2014 and 2015 as well.
