McDaniel's Signing Stirs Trouble
GREENSBORO, N.C. (UCP) - The Carolina Cougars set off a new American Basketball Association controversy Tuesday by kicking Kentucky star Jim McDamnes, the draft pick of the ABA UTAh Stats.
"Cougar General Manager Carli Scheer, in one breath, called it "the largest contract ever paid to a professional basketball player" who knowledge he had no release from Utah to even talk to McDaniels.
"Jim McDaniels either plays with the Utah Stars or he won't play in the ABA," Utah General Manager Vince Boryse told newsstands. "We've signed McDaniels, they are in complete violation of the ABA bylaws."
ABA Commissioner Jackoup said McDaniel's signing had not and would not be approved by the ABA Board of Trustees.
"If and when the Cougars submit McDaniels' contract, I will not approve it," he said.
The Cougars have just come in from the Lions and will tie with the Atlanta Hawks of the NBA over rights to Joe Caldwell, who jumped to the ABA earlier this year.
As for McDaniels, the 7-footed guard of the team that finished third in the NCAA championships, he said. "I'm happy to be here. This is a great game."
Scheer said that while he had no agreement with Utah to release its rights to McDaniels, the team would have an interest of all ball clubs in the ABA.
"Utah definitely has some equity in McDaniels," said Scheer. "We have made what we 'el is a very substantial offer to
them. If they don't accept, we are prepared to let the ABA Board of Governors make the decision."
Scheer would not reveal the amount of the contract, but Cougar sources said it approached $3 million.

If baseball ever goes through with such a proposal it would be cutting off its own nose in a way that begins spring training offers one of the finest "prime time" games for publicity and exposure in the sport, which baseball needs only the same way you need your next breath.
No more spring training at all. They say the says just forget about it. There's nothing in the contract which mentions spring training. The players shape on their own. They'd be prepared to play on opening day.
RED DOG
High Wage Demands Makes Owner Balk
NEW YORK (UPI)—One baseball owner has had it
At least he's making noises like he has, and along with the noises he has the reputation for generally doing what he says he will.
This particular owner is just waiting for the next time the players come up with a proposal of their own.
But that doesn't matter,
Baseball people have cut their
nuns before. By now they're
past-masters at it.
On the other side of the coin, at least two players already have their hands on the ball — something as surprising yourself out of the market— even in spring games.
In other words they were ready to concede the 30 days' pay if they were dropped, and didn't make the ball club.
Players who live "out," meaning not at the team hotel, can attend now, get $214 a week. Also arriving new provision, if they are dropped early during spring training, will be paid 30 days regular salary
HAVERFORDWEST, Wales (UPI)-Price Charles comments on the litter left by visitors to Windsor Castle;
Catcher Boh Tillman and pitcher Ray Washburn were introduced that provision simply to try for the win. Milwaukee Brewers this spring.
"It is difficult to get through to people that they would not like it if their gardens were covered with rubbish."
"It's not what you're willing to do. Frank the Brewer's, the brewer told them." It "is what we're bound to agreement. Our hands are tied."
