All-America team no surprise
Four of five preseason picks make final list
All but one of the players on The Associated Press preseason All-America team were on the postseason version as well.
The Associated Press
The only one who wasn't was Jason Terry, and on Monday he became Arizona's fourth All-American in the last five years.
"Every day during the off season I would walk by the basketball office and see the photos on the wall of all the guys who have been All-Americans here and tried to picture myself up there," he said. "Now, to think that I will have a photo up there makes me realize what an accomplishment this is."
Terry joined Sean Elliott (1988 and 1989), Damon Stoudamire (1995), Mike Bibby (1998) and Miles Simon (1998) on the wall outside Coach Lute Olson's office.
He joined Elton Brand of Duke, Andre Miller of Utah, Richard Hamilton of Connecticut and Mateen Cleaves of Michigan State on the 1989-99 AP All-America team.
Brand, a 6-foot-8 sophomore center who missed almost half of last season with a broken foot, was the only unanimous selection.
Brand, who averaged 17.8 points and 9.8 rebounds for the top-ranked Blue Devils, was named on all 72 first-team ballots by the national media panel to become the fourth unanimous selection of the '90s.
"It's unbelievable. I'm just elated right now. Just to have been considered for a position of first-team All-America is a special, special honor," said Brand, who shot 62 percent from the field. "I knew I worked hard, and the hard work paid off. Growing up, it's one of the things you definitely dream of. I'm definitely a team person, and the individual accolades come when the team wins."
The others were Christian Laetner of Duke in 1992, Glenn Robinson of Purdue in 1994 and Tim Duncan of Wake Forest in 1997.
Brand was an honorable mention All-American last season despite missing 15 games with the injury, but he showed he was healed this summer when he led the U.S. team in the Goodwill Games in scoring and rebounding.
Miller, a senior guard, was the second-leading vote-getter in the 5-3-1 process, getting 330 points with 60 first-team votes. The Western Athletic Conference player of the year averaged 15.9 points, 5.5 rebounds, 5.7 assists and 2.5 steals, and the 6-foot-2 guard was given more credit for his team leadership than statistics.
"It's a real honor, said Miller, an honorable mention last season when the Utes reached the Final Four. "I can't take the credit myself because we have a great team, and they deserve the award also. It makes being a leader easy when you have a team like we have."
Hamilton, who won or shared Big East player of the year honors the last two seasons, averaged 21.0 points and 4.8 rebounds this season
for the Huskies who were ranked
no. 1 for 10 weeks. The 6-foot-6
juniper swingman, the leading votegetter on the second team last season, had 48 first-team votes and 300 points this season.
"He's worked hard at expanding his total game, and has become one of the top collegiate players in the nation," Connecticut coach Jim Calhoun said. "Last year, he just missed being a first-team selection and this year has rightfully earned his spot among the top five players in college basketball."
Terry, the Pac-10 player of the year, led the league in scoring (22.1), assists (5.6) and steals (2.7) the first player to do that since Gary Payton of Oregon State in 1989-90.
"There is no one more deserving for this honor because of what he has had to go through, in that he has had to provide leadership to the three freshmen in our starting lineup." Olson said.
Terry, a 6-foot-2 senior, got 48 first-team votes and 293 points, 83 more than Cleaves, who was on 19 first-team ballots.
Cleaves, a 6-foot-2 junior, was a second-team choice last season and was named Big 10 player of the year by the league's coaches for the second straight year. He averaged 11.8 points and 7.2 assists as the Spartans won their second straight Big 10 regular-season title.
"I've got to give a lot of credit to my teammates," he said. "If we wouldn't have won a championship, I wouldn't have earned this."
New coach balances law, baseball
Continued from page 1B
Kansas and is now back at the collegiate level hoping to some day be a full-time assistant at a Division-I school.
"Coaching high school isn't like coaching college," Toscano said. "And I am fortunate to be able to have this opportunity at a school with such tradition."
Like any volunteer, Toscano is hopeful that his services eventually will lead him to a more permanent position, but for now he is pleased and thankful for the opportunity that occasionally becomes difficult
"The hardest part is balancing baseball with my legal obligations, but my aspirations are like any other volunteer," he said.
Toscano, who now lives in Kansas City, spends a total of seven days a month in Chicago working as a mediator between Chicago-area developers and a Chicago suburb.
His contract as a mediator expires at the end of June, and Toscano said he would then be able to focus his attention entirely on baseball.
"I'm really lucky and thankful that Coach Randall allows me to miss some days here and there," Toscano said. "The coaches have been great in giving me responsibilities, and I think the players have received me well."
The players say that having Toscano around has been great because his position is one that lies between coach and player.
"You respect him, and you listen to what he says as a coach," freshman outfielder Harrison Hill said. "But he listens to you like a friend. He's a cool guy."
