The program was started by former UNM head mens basketball coach Dave Bliss in 1992-93 after seeing how his youngest son became interested in reading at his elementary school. The program is administered by the UNM athletics marketing department, working closely with school staff and administrators, and is offered to all middle schools in Albuquerque, Rio Rancho and surrounding school districts.Read with the Lobos is a reading-incentive program now at the end of its eighth year of operation. The program was started by former UNM head mens basketball coach Dave Bliss in 1992-93 after seeing how his youngest son became interested in reading at his elementary school. The program is administered by the UNM athletics marketing department, working closely with school staff and administrators, and is offered to all middle schools in Albuquerque, Rio Rancho and surrounding school districts. Albuquerques Lowell Elementary School, as a “Join-A-School” partner of Lobo Athletics, also participates in the program.
The goal of the program is to encourage children to read, and to reward them for their efforts with donations of tickets to Lobo athletics events, primarily football and women’s basketball. The program is divided into two sessions – Fall and Spring – for two reasons: one, to allow for modifications in the program, if necessary; and two, to allow prizes/incentives to be developed around both the fall and spring sports. Assemblies are held at many of the participating schools, which enables UNM student-athletes, staff and coaches to reach the community and bring the program directly into the schools. It also gives the student-athletes the opportunity to promote academics and athletics, and to show the students that it is possible to be successful in both their academic and athletic endeavors. Assemblies are a great vehicle for UNM student-athletes to relate their own personal stories of how they became intercollegiate athletes by studying hard, reading and caring about academics.
Participating students are given special bookmarks, which they use to write down the titles of books as they read them. When they have completed their bookmark, they can submit it to the UNM athletics marketong department for the appropriate prize. During the current session (Spring of 2002), a total of 19 middle schools are participating and over 8,000 bookmarks have been distributed. The program will end Nov. 21, at which time all prizes will be distributed and a determination made as to the top-10 readers throughout the participating schools. These top readers will be rewarded with “special” prizes, which may include an invitation to a Lobo basketball game for an on-court presentation.
COMCAST and Intel have been sponsors of the Read with the Lobos program for many years. COMCAST is particularly active in the program, contributing premium prizes for top readers and participating in school assemblies. Sponsors are extremely important to the continuance of this valuable community program; they provide the support that enables UNM athletics to supply promotional materials, posters and giveaway items to the top readers.
The University of New Mexico’s primary aim is to educate, and the Read with the Lobos program is a great tool to encourage education and reading throughout the youth of our community.

HEAD COACH DON FLANAGAN: Don Flanagan, arguably the greatest women’s basketball coach at New Mexico, is entering his seventh season at UNM. Flanagan took over this struggling program in 1995 and the Lobos have improved to a remarkable 122-63 (.516), they’ve captured a conference regular-season championship, a conference tournament championship and made four consecutive postseason appearances, including the schools first-ever NCAA bid. Flanagan has already become the school’s all-time leader in victories, surpassing Doug Hoselton’s previous mark of 89 from 1980-87. Amazingly, Flanagan took just 133 games to reach 90 wins for his career, while Hos
