This is about the umpteenth time I've seen this argument, and I think
it's pretty stupid.  It doesn't matter who has more teams.  Every team is
ranked, you just have to go down the list.  In men's basketball, Penn State
is ranked No. 140 out of 300, and they are in last place in the Big 10 -
every big 10 team has a winning record now.  Can the same be said for the ACC?
You can't add up the teams records by percentage either.  Because the Big 10
plays more conference games than the ACC.  Add up each conference's
non-conference games, then you'll see who's better.  To be determined!!!

Yes, I would.  There are many men who are quite good coaches who can coach
a women's team very well.  The only reason that I can see to discriminate
against men in this situation is a kind of gut feeling that they have a much
harder time recruiting women than female coaches.

>  B. What about assistant coaches?

Ditto.  Obviously, this is the head coaches decision more than the AD's, but
my logic runs about the same course.  I wouldn't insist on having coaches
of either sex, but if the head coach was male, I think it would be pretty
good to have female assistant coaches.

>  C. Would you consider women for coaching the men's team (head or assistant)?

Yes, I would.  Tara Vanderveer of Stanford has a better understanding of the
game of basketball than anyone else I have ever seen coach, with the lone
possible exception of Bob Knight.  OK, well maybe that is a slightly 
exaggerated statement, but it isn't far from the truth.  My only reservation
is that it would be very difficult for a woman to break through the macho
bullsh*t that many athletes in particular seem to have and be able to recruit
good athletes.  I have no doubts that women can coach men with as much 
success as men do, given that the athletes are sincerely interested in
getting the job done.  Given that, it obviously follows that i would have
no problems hiring a woman to be and assitant men's coach.

Of course, to quote Yogi Berra... basketball, like baseball is 90% half-mental
and it may turn out to be impossible at this point in time for a female
coach to motivate a men's team sufficiently to win.  But I have no doubts
about women's ability to get the job done.

Here is Denny Crum's record since 1986, to the best of my recollection:

1986-1987   0-0    (Did not get a NCAA bid, refused NIT bid)
1987-1988   2-1    (Sweet 16 eliminated by Oklahoma, who went to final game?)
1988-1989   2-1    (Sweet 16 eliminated by Illinois, who went to final 4)
1989-1990   1-1    (Elim in 2nd rnd by Ball State)
1990-1991   0-0    (Did not play in post season)
1991-1992   1-1    (Elim in 2nd rnd by UCLA)
          -------
            6-4    (NCAA Post season record since 1986).

Please note, Crum went to the Sweet 16 during the years when he openly
rejected the 3-ptr (He utilizes it now).  Also note, the 2 Sweet 16 years
were Pervis Ellison's Junior and Senior years.  There has not been a player
of Ellison's caliber at UofL since 1989; this would suggest that when Crum
starts to get better talent he will start making moves in the post season
again.  Some will say 6-4 is poor in NCAA's, but I think it's more than
enough to let him continue to coach.  IMHO. ;)

The Ohio State University's Athletic Director Jim Jones announced a five year contract
extension for mens's basketball coach Randy Ayers.  When added on to the years
remaining on Ayer's current contract, it gives him steady employment through June 30,
1999!

This contract will put Ayers under contract for longer then any coach in tOSU history.
Ayers' base salary will rise from the current $96,384 to $110,000.  His bonus for
winning/sharing Big11 titles also jumps from $2,000 to $11,000.

Ayers current record is 73-23 for a blistering .7604 winning percentage
and includes 2 Big10 championships and 2 Big 10 COTY awards as well as
a national COTY award in 90-91.  His 40-14 Big Ten record is the league's
best in the 1990s.

source:  Columbus Dispatch  12/16/92


a sidebar:  the same issue of the Dispatch contains a pointed editorial blaming
former Buckeye All-American Jimmy Jackson's expanding ego on his ability to turn
down a guaranteed four year contract worth $10.8 million from the Dallas 
Mavericks.  The editorial, by Dispatch columnist Dick Fenlon, goes on to detail
an incident in the 1991 Pan american games between JJ and usenet whipping boy
Christian Laettner, who were teammates on the U.S. team.

"One day, leaving the arena, they were into each other's faces so much I thought
it might go from the verbal to the physical. 'Don't tell me what to do,' Jackson
warned Laettner.  Cooler heads prevailed, and it passed.", Fenlon recollects.  He
implies in the column that this "bad blood" between JJ and CL might be driving JJ's
thirst for $21.5 million over 6 years which is similar $21.8/6year deal that 
Laettner received from the Timberwolves.

Are we theorizing NCAA or NBA rules? And do the Hornets have the same
restrictions regarding practices and behavior as the NCAA athletes do
(like, for example, studying for classes)? I'm just wondering what the
assumptions were regarding Duke vs. the Hornets.

Glen Rice       (Miami Heat)
Loy Vaugt       (L.A. Clippers)
Shaun Higgings  (S. Antonio, Hornets, now ?)
Demetrius Calip (L.A. Lakers, cut, now ?)
Mark Hughes     (Detroit Pistons DS, cut, now?)

From the above, only Glen Rice is an NBA statrer, while T. Mills is
playing some quality time with the Pistons, who migh start him as
a center after Laimbeer retires.

Anybody knows where are the last three Michigan Players now?
I know that M. Griffin, the 1989 starting guard, is playing in Japan now...
