In my role as Director of Athletics, my primary focus has been and will continue to be the day-to-day operations and supervision of the departmental staff, while striving to promote effective communication amongst JCSU faculty, staff, student-athletes, alumni, media, and the general public, says Joyner. JCSU has enjoyed unparalleled success under Joyners watch. During the 2005-06 season, JCSU won three CIAA Western Division Championships. The Golden Bulls claimed CIAA titles in mens tennis, womens basketball, and mens basketball. In addition to a strong year in the CIAA, two Golden Bulls teams advanced to NCAA post-season competition (mens and womens basketball). Mens and womens basketball repeated this success during the 2007-08 season and again last season, when both teams captured the CIAA Tournament Championship (2008-09). Along with their excellence on the field, JCSU student-athletes have reached new heights in the classroom during Joyners tenure at the helm of the athletics program. Since his arrival, nearly 200 student-athletes have received their undergraduate degrees, half have graduated with honors, and several have gone on to pursue graduate degrees. The Class of 2010 Valedictorian and Salutatorian were student-athletes from the mens tennis team and womens track and field, respectively. The Salutatorian has been student-athlete three times from the previous four graduating classes. During the 2008-09 season, Joyner earned his 400th career coaching victory, his third CIAA Tournament crown (2001, 2008, 2009), and he was named Athletic Director of the Year by the Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association. Joyner recently completed his 26th season as head coach of the JCSU Golden Bulls Basketball Team. His career record is 465-282. A native of Winston-Salem, NC, Joyner was the standout point guard for the Golden Bulls from 1969-73. For more than two decades, he has taken the mens program to unprecedented levels, establishing J.C. Smith as one of the most competitive teams in the CIAA and NCAA DII basketball. Joyner earned a bachelors degree in Health and Physical Education from Johnson C. Smith University and a masters degree in Guidance and Counseling from Virginia State University. Joyner and his wife, Narell, live in Charlotte, North Carolina. They have two sons and a daughter: Steve Jr., who serves as the Head Women Basketball Coach at JCSU, Brian, and Janel, a graduate of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and head dance team coordinator at JCSU.

Division 3
Alex Focke will enter his eighth season at Hamline University and his fifth as the head womens basketball coach during the 2021-22 academic year.
"Alex's consistent, tireless, and professional work as an assistant coach in the men's program has undoubtedly earned him the opportunity to lead our women's program," said HU athletic director Jason Verdugo. "He has a clear vision and understanding of what's expected to move our program in the right direction, and I'm confident our current scholar athletes will follow his lead."
In his first three seasons, Focke and his staff have worked to turn the program around, going from four wins in 2017-18 to 13 in the following season. In 2019-20, Hamline made the MIAC Playoff Tournament for the first time since the 2012-13 season, ending with a 15-11 overall record. The 15 wins was the most the program had recorded since 2008-09. The team also swept Saint Bens for the first time since 1986.
So far, he has coached two All-MIAC athletes in Reilly Geistfeld and Lydia Lecher and three other honorable mention recipients. He and his staff have also recruited two players who made the All-First Year team in the past two seasons, in Chanel Anderson-Manning and Lecher.
Before being named the head womens coach, Focke had spent the previous four seasons serving as the main mens basketball assistant to head coach Jim Hayes.
Working with Hayes, Focke played a major role in helping to recruit several of the players that contributed to turning the program around. During the 2016-17 season, Hamline went 14-12 overall, had their longest MIAC winning streak in 57 years, and advanced to the conference playoffs for the first time in six seasons. The Pipers recorded road wins at MIAC co-champion St. Thomas (for the first time in 37 seasons), and UMAC titlist Northwestern. They also swept Gustavus Adolphus, St. Olaf, and Concordia.
Focke has a Masters degree in Sports Pedagogy from South Dakota State and a B.A. from the University of Minnesota in Communication Studies. He was a graduate assistant coach at South Dakota State University for two years where he coached and recruited for the Jackrabbits. He was also an assistant at Henry Sibley when the team advanced to the MSHSL AAAA boys tournament.
Prior to coming to Hamline, Focke, who was on a state tournament hoops team at Cretin-Derham Hall, spent three years as the head coach at Prior Lake High School. He inherited a team that had been in last place in the Missota Conference with a 3-24 record. The Lakers turned things around quickly, winning 40 games in Fockes three years as head coach, including a first-ever section triumph as a Class AAAA school.
In 2012-13, the Lakers went 19-7, including a 13-5 conference record and a third-place finish in the South Suburban Conference. They also experienced their first top-10 rating as a Class AAAA school.
Focke also spent two seasons coaching the ninth grade team at his prep alma mater and ran the 15U, 43 Hoops Basketball Club for one season.
In addition, he has worked at several hoop camps, including serving as the director of the Minnesota Timberwolves camps in 2009.
On top of his basketball coaching duties, Focke serves as the Compliance Director for Hamline Athletics.

As part of our COVID-19 safety plan, the indoor sessions traditionally held on the first day of camp will be shared online.
Sessions will be accessible for the week prior to camp. They are available on-demand and can be completed at the athlete's
convenience.
This approach allows us to continue offering these valuable sessions so athletes arrive to camp ready to maximize the experience,
while still maintaining a safe experience.
See what people are saying about EXACT!
Parent
As a parent of a student athlete, this program surpassed all expectations. The staff went beyond our goal of giving not just physical but mental training. They encouraged and critiqued those skills need to make our athlete even better than when she arrived. We all loved attending, and our daughter looks forward to next year or attending another one soon. Thank you for a great experience!
Player
The EXACT camp allowed me to gain valuable college exposure, talk to college coaches, and receive advice about becoming a student athlete. From this camp, I feel more confident in myself because of the positive feedback I received from the coaches, and encouragement from the girls I was with. The 1-on-1 evaluation from a college coach was extremely beneficial and will help me improve to become a more dynamic player!
Player
The EXACT Camp is my second exposure camp and it was way bigger and better than my first! It was amazing to be around girls with the same aspirations as me, hopefully I’ll compete against them in the future at the collegiate level. My experience with EXACT has been invaluable and extremely informative. It's definitely the easiest and best way to be exposed to college coaches. Thanks so much EXACT!!
Player
I really enjoyed how I was able to meet one on one with every coach, and I was able to show my skills in front of them. I also loved how informational the coaches were about recruiting process, and how I was able to see and experience the different coaching styles. I also enjoyed how there was a coach from every division including NAIA.
