Tyndall Named Chipola Men’s Basketball Coach

Donnie Tyndall, Chipola’s new men’s basketball coach, was introduced at
a June 18 press conference. A link to the press conference is available at: https://
www.youtube.com/watch?v=5_7REHKjBmo&feature=youtu.be

Tyndall has a Division 1 and NBA pedigree having served as head coach
at the University of Tennessee, Southern Mississippi and Morehead State
University, and for the Detroit Pistons D-League developmental team. Tyndall
also served in assistant coaching roles at LSU, Idaho, Middle Tennessee and for
the Toronto Raptors 905 team.

Chipola AD Jeff Johnson says, “We’re proud to bring a coach of Donnie’s
caliber to Chipola. His resume and qualifications show that he has won at every
level of the game and Chipola is fortunate to have him as our new head coach.”

Tyndall started his head coaching career (1996-97) at St. Catherine College,
a Kentucky JUCO, where he went 30-5 en route to the school’s first NJCAA

Tournament appearance.
From 2006-2012, he led D-1 Morehead State to the Round of 32 in the NCAA Tournament (2011), an OVC Conference
Championship and three straight 20-win seasons.
At Southern Mississippi (2012-2014), he led the Golden Eagles to a Conference USA Co-Championship (2014) and
recorded the highest attendance in 20 years. He served for one year as head coach at the University of Tennessee (2015).
In 2016, Tyndall was hired by the NBA’s Toronto Raptors organization as an assistant coach for their Raptors 905
developmental team.
He served as an assistant coach with the developmental team for the Grand Rapids Drive of the Detroit Pistons and was
promoted to their head coach for the 2019-20 season.
Tyndall replaces former Chipola coach Brendan Foley who left for an assistant coaching job at the University of Buffalo.

Chipola Take Stock In Children Earns Gold Status

The Chipola Take Stock in Children (TSIC) program has achieved Gold Status in the state
organization’s annual evaluation process.
Chipola earned 98 out of 100 possible points and has moved up four levels since 2018
when Debra Perdue, Chipola’s TSIC Coordinator, took over the program. The Chipola TSIC will
receive an additional $5,500 in performance funding.
Take Stock in Children is a Florida-based nonprofit with than 7,000 volunteer mentors
who work with at-risk students to help them succeed in school. TSIC scholars sign a pledge to
maintain good grades, remain drug and crime free and meet regularly with their mentor. If they
meet the goals and graduate from high school, the students earn college scholarships. Funds
for the scholarships are raised by local businesses and families.
In a letter to Chipola College, TSIC Director of Program and Student Services, Ele Bautista-
Bernard, said, “Congratulations on an outstanding—if not unexpected and challenging—year
of service to students and mentors.”
Mentoring, college and career readiness, college success coaching visits, GPA checks,
compliance and adherence to TSIC enrollment standards all were factored into the evaluation.
Like so many other processes in education, the pandemic forced Chipola’s Take Stock program
to transition to a virtual environment. Mentors and students met virtually on ZOOM to continue the work they were doing face-to-
face before the pandemic.
Perdue said her only motivation was helping students make it through. “Many of the students were in a bad place. They were
lost. I was able to meet with students virtually and set up mentoring sessions to give them some much-needed socialization,” she
said.
Take Stock requires that students attend 15 mentoring sessions each year. Perdue says, “Through this challenge, we’ve drafted
some very good mentors and we’re doing pretty well. Our mentors have conducted more than 300 mentoring sessions on Zoom
since the pandemic began.”
Moving forward, Perdue says, “Our students and mentors are very comfortable using this tool to stay in contact and to prepare
for college and careers. We will continue to use this resource. It is a great way to have social interaction and maintain the mentoring
program.”
