"Before we, the coaches knew they had a responsibility to the players. We couldn' push them that hard; they were coming out第一时间 and not getting anything in return."

"I think now the students will have to realize that if they're getting a scholarship, they have a responsibility to the coaches, too."
"Before, it was hard to push a girl to spend all that time and force her to be the things I want her to be. A lot said it wasn't worth it," he said.
"Girls aren't quite as concerned yet. Men
can be hard to give up two hours, and
slouch off elsewhere."
kustso said he compared women without scholarships to "redheads" in NCAA sports.
"It is hard to demand a guy's all, make him go out all in practice, follow a training schedule and all that when he puts in all the work," said Dennis. "He actually competes in the game." he said.
Aside from classwork, Kivi said who
tennis be "number one" to his
scholarship gift.
Mccroy said the scholarships made her demand move of the entire team, not just individual scholarships.
SEVERAL COACHES SAID the Kansas branch of the Association of Intercollegiate Athletics for Women (KAIAW) set rules they thought kept the KU athletic department from developing the maximum programs.
Isgur said the limits KAIAW puts on the length of the volleyball season which Kansas schools are allowed to play kept KU from competing with the better schools, especially those outside Kansas, who do not have the same restriction.
He said he thought the problem was a discrepancy between the seriousness of women's athletics today, especially at KU, and the way KIAAW viewed them.
KU's gymnastics program is growing so much faster than the other Kansas schools that soon it will be competing almost exclusively with out-of-state schools, he said.
KAIAW tries to maintain equitable competition within the state, Snow said. That may restrict the gymnastics team's activity outside of Kansas, he said.
BECAUSE KU IS ONE of only two schools in Kansas that have women's swimming programs, there are no KIAAW rules to follow. The only KIAAW rules govern swimming describe the strokes and the treatment of injuries. McElroy said.
Kivisto said the only thing KIAAW had done about women's tennis is to approve his appointment as head coach. Because he doesn't have a degree in physical education, Kivisto said, his appointment wasn't automatic.
The coaches shared a common bond on the subject of money.
Most of them have found that the money
they received to develop the program and the money they need to maintain are two distinct facilities. All cited a tight budget and insufficient facilities as problems.
"It's always a thorn," Washington said. "It affects our scheduling and traveling." **SNOW SAID**, "THEERE are always things I'd like to buy."
McEllroy said the latest in women's swimming attire, the skimskin, was far too tight for her.
"It may add to our times, but we are survived without them." she said.
With the scarcity of resources to both programs, it is inevitable that the men's and women's programs would "rub elbows," as Washington put it.
Friction between the two is less today than earlier, according to the coaches.
Washington said she was feeling more free to approach her mate counterpart, Teddy Jenkins.
Kivisto and Snow said their relationships with Kirkland Gates, the men's tennis coach, and Bob Lockwood, men's gymnastics coach, were excellent.
KIVISTO SAID THE two teams played each other in the past and would try a mixed
Snow said he and Lockwood had scheduled a dual meet for Dec. 6.
McElioy said her team maintained "very friendly" relations with the men's swim team.
The two team shares Scott Pyle, the driving coach, lane lines, navigation daring training and material development.
