Enthusiastic assistants aid Owens
By GARY BEDORE

It's been nearly a year since Lafayette Norwood and Bob Hill took over as assistant basketball coaches at the University of Notre Dame, who's safe to say might've conquered their jobs.
Things looked grim for the KU basketball program about this time last year. The Jayhawks had suffered an 18-10 season, finishing fourth in the Big Eight. Some angry fans began grumbling. "Going to a game" (Ted Owens, KU head basketball coach).
OWENS SIGNED Norwood and Hill, who soon beant to make their presence known.
Despite the pressure of a losing season, Owens was retained as coach, but assistants Duncan Reid and Sam Miranda resigned. Reid took a head coaching position, and Miranda entered the travel agency business.
The two coaches immediately added some personality to KU's program. Norwood, an inspiring believer in player's abilities, and Hill, a young coach with recruiting experience whom players could relate to, started their jobs with enthusiasm.
Hill went to work to improve KU's big men, Paul Mokeski and Ken Koenigins, the Jayhawks' offense, and Norwood was in charge of KU's defense.
After KU's 244 record this season, it's obvious the assistant coaches have done the job. And along with Owens, they make up an impressive coaching staff.
"The new coaches helped change some of the philosophy. We spend less time at practice and don't work out as long this year."
"IT'S like a new atmosphere this year, Mokesi said recently." "The new coaches came in and showed enthusiasm and along with the freshmen picked us up.
the players, to a man, speak of the assistant coaches in glowing terms. Koenigs, who made the all Big Eight Associated Press team for the first time in his career, said Hill had improved his game. Mokesi has said the same.
"KENNY USED to play with his personality and had to sclow it up." Hill said, "and with Paul, we had to start from scratch. Both really work hard. You just
work with the person, that's your job as coach.
Hill came to KU from the University of Pittsburgh where he was assistant coach, known for his ability to coach defense and to recruit. Hill has kept the recruiting position at KU, but is in charge of the offense, not defense.
"When I came here, I wanted to work with the offense," Hill said. "I've been in charge with the post players and it's great experience for me."
"COACH OWENS has done an outstanding job this year. He gives myself and Coach Norwood a lot of responsibility." He coachs to the players, and he allows this to happen.
KU players say Hill's gice helps him relate to them. At 30, his playing days were not so crowded.
"He's not a great deal older than us," senior Clint Johnson said. "He's more a friend than coach. He has a good knowledge of the game."
Hill has been a busy man as coach this season. He is often out-of-town on recruiting
"I BEEN EEE at all the games and most practices," Hill said. "You make use of your other time. I've logged a lot of miles this year. You've got to be organized and persevering with hard work, many times the road and have your family make sacrifices, you can't handle it."
Lafayette Norwood has been an inspiration to many senior Demons in Moore bequeath one of them.
"Norwood has been an inspiration to me," Von Moore said. "At the beginning of the season, he told me if Kansas was to be successful, I'd have to be a big part of it. He expected it of me, and I've tried to live up to it.
"THERE'S SOMETHING special about him," Clint Johnson added. "It's more than caring how we perform on the court. It's how we feel that concerns Coach Norwood. He seems to understand us more. He's always emphasized defense and intensity

"People can understand and accept sincerity," Norwood said. If you are sincere in what you're doing, success comes along with it.
