Matt Ruffing named head women’s basketball coach at UE

0

Ruffing has been interim head coach since March

EVANSVILLE, Ind. – University of Evansville Director of Athletics Mark Spencer has announced that Matt Ruffing has been named the permanent head women’s basketball coach for the Purple Aces, effective immediately.  Ruffing assumed head coaching duties on an interim basis on March 1, 2016.

“Since taking over the position on an interim basis, Matt has done an excellent job with our team and we look forward to the future with him at the helm,” Spencer said.  “In just a short time, Matt has shown that he is ready for this opportunity with our team performing well on and off the court.”

Ruffing came to UE in 2011 and served as an assistant coach until 2016.

“I am very thankful for this opportunity to continue coaching at the University of Evansville and am excited to keep working towards our program goals,” Ruffing said.  “The young ladies on our team are receiving a top notch education while representing UE on the basketball court and in the community. I look forward to helping them succeed academically and athletically.”

“Evansville and UE have become home for me over the past five and a half years. I want our players to have that same feeling during their time here,” Ruffing added.”

Ruffing has led the Aces to a 5-6 mark through their first 11 games of the season.  Included in that span is a 4-game win streak that included wins over Valparaiso, Murray State and Austin Peay.  Going back to last year, Ruffing has directed the team to six wins in 13 contests.

In 2011, Ruffing came to Evansville after spending four seasons on the coaching staff at the University of Akron.  Beginning as a graduate assistant in the 2007-08 season, while working on a masters in sports science, Ruffing was promoted to assistant coach for the past three seasons. He served as the scouting and equipment coordinator and assisted in recruiting, handled film exchange and assisted in pre and postseason conditioning.

Ruffing also worked closely with the post players and developed sophomore center Rachel Tecca into a first team Mid-American Conference selection in 2011, marking just the third Zip in program history to receive the honor. Tecca was also named the MAC Sixth Player of the Year under Ruffing’s guidance in 2010, while Ruffing coached an All-MAC Freshmen Team Member in each of his three years as assistant coach.

Prior to Akron, Ruffing served as a student assistant and head manager of the University of Dayton women’s basketball team. Ruffing helped coordinate the team’s tape exchange and assisted the coaching staff in many other roles, including the daily operations of practice.

“I also want to thank some very important people who made this opportunity possible. I need to thank Dr. Kazee, Mark Spencer and Sarah Solinsky for believing in my vision and supporting our staff since last March. I would also like to thank my wife, Erin, and both of our families for their tireless support of UE Women’s Basketball,” Ruffing said.  “Lastly I would like to thank the players, coaches, alumni and their families. This is not possible without their hard work and commitment to the program.”

Regulators, insurers fight release of shadow insurance files

0

IL for www.theibdianalawyer.com

The insurance industry and its regulators are asking a judge to allow documents detailing “shadow insurance” subsidiaries created by life insurers to remain secret.

The Iowa Insurance Division and the Federation of Iowa Insurers are opposing a lawsuit filed by Indiana University professor emeritus Joseph Belth, who’s seeking the documents under Iowa’s open records law.

Belth believes that the “shadow insurance” instruments threaten the solvency of insurers, and the public has a right to know.

Companies such as TransAmerica have transferred hundreds of millions of dollars in liabilities to subsidiaries to loosen the amount of capital they need in reserves.

An assistant attorney general argued last week that regulators properly denied Belth’s request and the documents should be kept confidential.

The insurance federation says the practice is well-regulated and justified.

Pot-legalization group wins injunction against Tippecanoe County rally ban

0

Dave Stafford for www.theindianalawyer.com

A group advocating the legalization of marijuana that was denied permission to hold a rally at the courthouse in Lafayette won an injunction against the county in federal court.

Tippecanoe County may no longer enforce its policy on displays and events on government property, which it used to deny permission for a courthouse rally requested by Higher Society of Indiana Inc. That policy required events on the courthouse grounds to be sponsored and prepared by a department or office of county government and scheduled through the board of county commissioners.

Chief Judge Philip Simon of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Indiana wrote Higher Society was likely to prevail on its argument that the policy is an unconstitutional violation of the First Amendment. “During its argument, the County candidly admitted that the reason it did not sponsor the Higher Society’s rally was because it didn’t agree with the group’s message,” Simon wrote in an order issued Monday. Higher Society filed its lawsuit in June.

“The County argues that it may engage in viewpoint discrimination because activities and speeches that take place on the courthouse steps are ‘government speech’ that is not entitled to constitutional protection. … I think that the County’s argument stretches the concept of ‘government speech’ to its breaking point, and so the motion for a preliminary injunction will be granted,” Simon wrote.

Tippecanoe County adopted its policy in 1999 in an effort intended to make the courthouse grounds a “nonpublic forum” moving forward, Simon wrote. But he noted the county has approved use of the courthouse grounds by private groups such as the Fraternal Order of Police and League of Women Voters, even though the county doesn’t inquire into the content of messages the groups would convey. Likewise, the county doesn’t control what a group says once an event is sponsored.

Simon noted other groups have held rallies or events at the courthouse without first asking the county, deciding it’s “easier to beg for forgiveness than ask for permission.” Higher Society previously held a rally at the courthouse after a county employee said the group could on her mistaken belief that the commissioners had approved it.

These other events at the courthouse, whether sanctioned or not, are not government speech, Simon wrote, and passersby are unlikely to interpret them as such. “Rather, reasonable observers know that people who want to protest will find symbolic public property to do it on, and that, in many cases, the First Amendment guarantees them the right to march peacefully and make speeches there, even if the government doesn’t like what they are saying.”

Tippecanoe County “has opened the courthouse grounds up to speech by some groups — the ones it likes — and, having done so, it may not now prohibit others from speaking on the basis of what they intend to say. Accordingly, the Higher Society has shown that it has a significant likelihood of
success on the merits,” Simon wrote.

The case, brought by the American Civil Liberties Union of Indiana, is Higher Society of Indiana, Inc. v. Tippecanoe County, Indiana, 4:16-cv-43.
