Cameron Hill: Embracing Failure to Win

By Sam McWhorter

Cameron Hill is a husband, a father to two sons, 11 and 10, and a sneakily good pool player. Oh, and he’s also among the best active coaches in NCAA Division III women’s basketball.

He’s certainly in the conversation as far as regular season feats are concerned, with the best win rate (.812) per season in D3WBB history during his seven seasons with Trinity. Bring it up to him, and he finds a characteristically logical way to deflect: “Wins can be scheduled, if I’m being honest with you.”

The Roar Presents: The First Look at the New Bell Center

In fall 2016, Trinity University's William H. Bell Athletic Center, established in 1992, began a $14.2 million renovation. The newly renovated facility is now open. On, Feb. 13, a group of faculty and staff took their first look at the new Bell Center. Here is the video produced by The Roar.

In recent weeks, students walking up to the Bell Center have noticed many construction vehicles and custom fencing at the facility. Inside, the construction becomes even more apparent as entire sections of floors are closed, and workout centers are relocated to cramped classrooms.

The William H. Bell Athletic Center is undergoing a major renovation starting in December 2016, and will last till February 2018. The athletic department hopes to provide students with a “state of the art” athletic facility.

What many people don’t know is that planning for this renovation actually started more than 10 years ago. “Our architect, Marmon Mok, did the initial feasibility study back in 2007,” said Seth Asbury, the associate director of Athletics for Facilities and Event Management, who has worked with Trinity for 11 years.

Piece Pontikes, a Trinity baseball player, arrived on campus two hours before his team’s home game on Sunday, hoping to get a parking spot closer to the baseball field. "I still had to park all the way by the football field," he said.

Pontikes was not alone. Coming to the game between the Tigers and Babson University, parents and students had a hard time parking cars. Although the Prassel Garage was opened for additional student and visitor parking, due to the current construction outside the Bell Center, parking was tight.

“We shockingly got a spot right up front, which never happens,” junior English major Julia Camp, 21, said.
