SPORT STAT NEWS "SBA Preview" has been presented by PSI
============================================================

  THE defending champion ADMIRALS are off to a strong start. Nick Anderson
(aquired in a jpost draft trade for Charles Smith!) started things off with
a 71 point night, and they never looked back. Even a slow start by THE
Admiral couldn't stop them.
  The Bricks like the Shaq, with Meicheal and Chris Mullin doin the part
too. The Die Hards started Otis Thorpe, despite an injury. This was not a
wise move...
  BudMeisters finished high behind Charles Barkley's 74 point performance.

I'm coaching my little boy's (8-9 yrs. old) basketball team this
winter, and am interested in finding a good book (or several good
books) on coaching youth b-ball.  Any recommendations?  I may also
be coaching a group of older teenagers as well, so I would appreciate
information on coaching for ANY age group.

Apparently, in order to join this team, you must be of a "high moral fiber".
Whatever that means.  I kept expecting some sort of "Just Say Nyet!" message
at the half, but it never happened.
  So does Duke defeating High Five mean that drugs are legalized now?

Subject: UK: There's Good News and Bad News
Date: Fri, 20 Nov 1992 14:21:38 GMT
Organization: Austerlitz, Gershovitz, and Carmichael

Exhibition Game against the High-5 team.

First the bad news: the radio team of MacAlexander and Hacker stinks
worse than you could imagine. A Tonight Show w/ 2 Ed McMahons.
We've been spoiled for so long by Caywood that I suppose we're
due for some bad luck. MacAlexander's specialty, I understand,
is football. He just doesn't keep up with the action...so-and-so
shoots...so-and-so scores...etc. Little in the way of fill-in
action. Caywood (almost) always remembered to fill you in on the
details and his phrasing (almost) always seemed apt for the
tempo. Very dramatic. And he didn't flub names. Eheu. I wonder
why Dick Gabriel wasn't chosen.

Now, the good news. First, just as Daddy predicted, Jared Prickett
will one day be a star. He scored 16 pts in 21 minutes and 
grabbed a game high 10 boards. He was very active and alert and
had several assists to go with his points. The announcers chose
him as player of the game, over Mashburn who scored 27 pts in
20 minutes (or so) of play and hit 5-6 3s. I think he got something
like 8 boards. Rodrick Rhodes also played well: 15 pts (I think)
and several boards and a humongous swinging-on-the-chandelier
dunk that brought a roar from the crowd. Brassow's knee didn't
bother him a bit, although he's still very rusty. Dent scored 17 in
about 20 minutes, and he's extremely rusty: many, many times
the announcers had Dent just dropping passes or getting stuffed
on shots. Chris Harrison hit all 3 of his 3s. Dale Brown was
fine on defense but still timid on offense. Tony Delk apparently
is having trouble adjusting to the college game: the announcers
reported that even in practice, he's not hitting his shots.
Must be nerves...which we all hope can be cured by one good 70
point night. Travis Ford only had a couple of fouls and 9 assists
and only took 3 shots: Pitino praised him for completely losing
his me-first mentality. Pitino claims that Ford is the best 
shot on the team which is quite a whopper: anyone who has ever
seen Ford shoot has to marvel that that shot-put style can
even find the backboard. Everyone scored, even walk-on Svoboda
a thick-as-a-barn 6' 9" player from Northern Kentucky who
transferred to UK to finish up some courses for an engineering
degree. Andre Riddick didn't dress as his red shirt status is 
all but assured. I don't think he sat there nude; I assume
street clothes is what the announcers meant, which is another
reason to miss Caywood. He wouldn't have been so ambiguous.

I have no idea about the final score: UK had something like 117
points and the High Five crowd was a little more than 30 
less than that: this was their 4th game in as many days so
the fact that UK beat them by more than Duke did is not
a decent yard stick. The game Tuesday against the Ukraine
national team will be better.

	Sorry folks.  Just to add a little fuel to the fire. (Gotta get

UM engineering is ranked #5 overall according to USNEW and world report??
Although Illinois over all is ranked above UM in engineering, Aero-space
engineering (The program that Voskul belongs to) is ranked #2 nationally.
But that is about the only thing that Illinois is ranked above UM, as far
as I know.  

	Actully, when you get to top ten.  It does not really matter if
you are at one school or another, one of my professors told me.  But
Michigan Still Rules.  Woof!

Although Women's basketball can be very entertaining at times and very
instructive in terms of good fundamentals, it's just not the same.
Certainly nowhere near the level of the men.

Case in point:  A couple of years ago I was playing pickup in Card gym
when I was surprised to find that our next opponent was none other than
the starting five for the Duke Women.  Not that they are exactly a
Final Four squad, but this _was_ during the off-season after the year
where we beat top-5 UVa.  We kicked their collective butts.  A bunch of
slow white guys and me, Stringbean Man.

Like Ronnie said, the women just don't have the upper-body strength nor,
I would add, the speed to compete with the men's game.  I always thought
it was like watching a game in slow motion.  Kind of like Princeton.

Russian National Team:  87
Wisconsin:              81

Wisconsin SUCKS!!!  This same Russian team lost to Beloit College in OT
the other night.  And for those of you who want the specific Russian
team this was, they had the name "Samara Eastbay".  I'm not up to snuff
on my Russian Geography, so I'm not sure where this is.  I'll find out,
if anybody really wants to know.

Thoughts:

Wisconsin was really rusty with the shooting.  They went, I believe, 6-29
from 3-point land.  Bobby Knight would have had a heart attack.  Tracy
Webster, who was in the top 3 of, and may have led, the Big Ten in 3-point
shooting, went 0-(something teen) from 3-point territory.  Yikes!  Nobody
looked incredibly impressive for the Badgers, nobody.  Guard Andy Kilbride
had a lot of minutes and kept them close in the 1rst half, but strangely
enough wasn't heard from in the 2nd half.

I was not impressed with Stu Jackson's "blazing speed" offense.  It stunk.
For example, there were only 2 dunks in the whole game, one at the end when
nothing mattered, and one on a breakaway.  This team had quite a few
ally-oops at times last year.  The "quick, slashing" defense led to a lot
of easy Russian baskets in the first half, as the gambling led to a lot of
open men.  In the 2nd half, it got a bit better, but that was after the
Russian point guard fouled out.

For the Russians:  they must have loved the shorter three-point line.  One
guy in particular, Yuri Joukaneko (mutilated in the English translation),
was hitting shots all night.  My guess is these guys played a bit better
than they did at Beloit.

So much for all the people excited about the "new-look" Badgers.  I'd never
thought I'd say this, but Steve Yoder's offense was more effective than
this (aaaack, whumph!).  The good thing is that this game and their next
are only exhibitions, and hopefully will help the team work out its kinks
(no T-Bone comments here, please!) before they open up with one incredibly
easy pre-conference schedule.

I was at the Cole game last year.  Pretty tame crowd.  The only
funny thing was the cheerleaders holding up a paper hoop with
"Devil with the Blue Dress" (and a picture of Laettner's jersey
with a dress under it) that the MD players ran through.

For years, ACC basketball was televised regionally by the C. D. Chesley Co.  The main
sponser was Pilot Life Insurance. (I can still remember their jingle, *Sail with the pilot,

production company which linked up with Raycom.

Actually, I think both semis are to be shown, but no first round games.  I'm
hoping so anyway so I can see a little more Vandy hoops this year, assuming
they get past UAB.  I think the Vandy-UAB winner and Illinois and New Mexico
