Henry working hard to be an NBA guard
By TONY COX
Sports Writer
Carl Henry wants to become one of the 276 basketball players with a job in the National Basketball Association, and if hard work has anything to do with it, he's on the way.
Henry, who starred for KU in the 1982-83 and 1983-84 seasons, recently completed his first professional season with the Puerto Rico team of the Continental Basketball Association.
He was drafted by the Kansas City Kings in the fourth round of the 1984 NBA college draft, but failed to make the team.
Frank Hamblen, assistant coach of the Kings, said the team liked Henry, but it was hard for him to break in at the King's defense, guard, having played forward at KL.
"I think Carl has a real good opportunity to play in this league, I've always been real high on him, Hamblen said. "I think someday you'll see him playing in the NBA.
"I think he has to work on his ball handling and just see the game from the guard position. He needed to learn how to run a ball," Ms. Hirsch said. "Just learning the game at a different position."
HERB BROWN, HENRY'S coach with the Coquis and the brother of KU head coach Larry Brown, said, "In my 26 or 27 years of coaching, Carl is probably one of the hardest, if not the hardest working player I have coached.
"I'm optimistic that Carl will make it into
the Army. I hope he gets a shot, he certainly
deserves."
Henry, who has been in Lawrence working out with KU players since his season ended, puts making the NBA at the top of his list of goals.
At 6-foot-5, one would think that Henry would face no qualms about his size. However, in the NBA, it can be an awkward height. At 6-foot-5, a player is smaller than he is taller but too big to play guard unless he has great quickness and is an excellent ball handler.
"CARL REMINDED ME a lot of Michael Holton, a player I coached." Herb Brown said. "Holton didn't make it the first time around either. People didn't recognize him as a shooter because he wasn't asked to shoot at UCLA.
"Carl is the same in a way. He played forward in college and wasn't asked to handle the ball a lot or shoot from long range. Now, he has become a true guard. It's very hard for a kid drafted in the fourth round to be one of the 40 or 45 rookies that make an NBA team, especially having changed positions."
Hamblen said Henry's situation was much like that of Kings' rookie Otis Thorpe, who switched from playing center at Providence
"I PLAYED WELL," he said. "I got a chance to work on a lot of things I wasn't familiar with. I learned the big guard position very well."
Henry said he learned a lot about the guard position in his season with the Coquis.
University to the forward position with the Kings.
Henry, who averaged 15 points, five rebounds and three assists a game for the Coquis, played both the big guard and point guard positions this season.
Playing both guard positions and the style of play in the CBA made for a very good league.
"It was tough," he said. "There is a lot of pushing, a more physical game with not offensives you call them. When you're handling the ball you are someone hawking you, sticking you in the side."
"I kind of like it because if you don't want to get hit, you have to move a lot."
HENRY HOPES HIS CBA experience will prove his ability to play guard. He plans to play in an NBA summer league in California and try out for one of the teams. If he fails again, he will go to a league in Europe and wait for another chance.
Brown said, "I think he proved to me and to himself and hopefully to a lot of other people that he can play the guard position. His ability and ball handling have really improved."
Former Kansas forward Carl Henry drives the ball down the court against K-State at Manhattan. The Hoyles now plays guard for the Puerto Rico National Continental Basketball Association.
In addition to his hard work ethic, courage is another big asset for Henry. Brown said
"He definitely earned a starting position with us," he said. "He's not afraid to take the gamer. He's not afraid to fail, and that's why he will succeed."
Henry said hitting the last second shot to win a game was the achievement that gave him the most pleasure. He said he still remembered those of shining moments with the daybanks.
"OH MAN DO I miss it," he said. "Seeing those guys on TV in the Memphis State game, I wished I was back. I wished I had one more year."
After transferring to KU from Oklahoma City University in 1981, Henry had two successful seasons with the Jayhawks. He led the team in scoring his junior season with 17.4 points a game. As队 captain his senior season, he led the team with 16.8 points a game and was named All-Big Eight.
"Once someone shoots, I'm always around the ball," he said. "When I shoot the ball, I follow my shot. I usually know where it's going and I try to get there."
He also had a knack for rebounding, down 7.2 rebounds a game his senior season.
Henry said the timing wasn't right in his shot with the Kings.
"YOU NEVER CAN TELL in those situations," he said. "I played well, but they kept the old guys. I was hoping they would give me a fair shake, but they already had five guards
when they drafted me. They told me I should work on my ball handling.
"You have to be in the right place at the right time to make it into the NBA."
"It had nothing to do with his ability, it's just that he was drafted by the wrong team," he said. "Kansas City's strength is at his position. I know he would have made the team if I were the coach because I know him better. I know the kind of worker he is."
KU head coach Larry Brown said being driven by the Kings was Henry's main problem.
"I'm HOPEFUL. THAT he'll get a chance.
He has the ability, but so much of making the NBA is the team that you're with."
"I think most people project him as a big guard, but for me he had to play small forward. His experience handling the ball in Puerto Rico will help him."
Herb Brown said that the nine player roster limit in the CBA made it necessary for Henry to play not only big guard, but also shooting guard.
The Coquis purchased Henry in December and the caught on to the team's system, very quickly.
"He stepped right in," he said. "He's a quick learner and a hard worker. Carl them all, but the price to be better the good hard work is greater that you just can't teach and he has it."
Softball team hopes to hit peak again

By SUE KONNIK
The rolling hills of every softball season can make for a long, difficult ride.
The key to a successful season, according to U.I. pitching coach Gary Hines, is to make the most of his innings.
"We try and hold the peaks as long as we can and try and make the valleys not as deep."
The women's softball team hopes to make its latest valley, two losses in four games last week, as shallow as possible. After winning 14 of their last 16 games, the
Jayhawks split double-headers with Oklahoma and Iowa State in Norma, OK.
KU was 3-1 going into its second weekend of conference play, tied for first place with Nebraska. Losses to Iowa State and Oklahoma dropped their overall record to 25-9 and 5-3 in the Big Eight.
THE JAYHAWKS ARE now tied for second place with Iowa State in the conference Nine.
A bright spot in KU's weekend was the hitting of pitcher Tracy Bunge. She went 5-11 at the plate, raising her batting average to 415.
Bunge now leads the team in doubles.
triples, walks and runs batted in. Both she and infielder Judith Phillips have one home run. Her .97 earned run average is also the best on the team.
While Bunge continues to swing the bat well. Hines said the team was struggling at the plate, even though KU faced Oklahoma's first opponent in Iowa state Lela Young twice last weekend.
"I thought for sure that the second time we saw the pitchers that we'd have our timing down and hit them better, but we didn't." Hines said.
WITH A TEAM batting average of .190, KU has to regain the confidence that it had at the plate earlier in the season, Hines said.
"Doing things consistently more often than not makes for a successful team," he said. "We have to get that confidence back and try and reach that peak again."
The Jayhawks will have one non- conference game before they travel Saturday to Columbia, Mo., to face Missouri and Oklahoma State in Big Eight play.
KU will play Washburn today at Jayhawk Field. The double-header will start at 2 p.m. Kansas defeated Washburn 7-3 and 8-1 in Topeka the last time the teams met.
Hines said the team would use today to regain the confidence it had going into last weekend's double-headers.
Tulane students want to keep basketball
NEW ORLEANS — Tulane University students yesterday discussed ways to protest an effort to abolish their school's scandal-ridden basketball program and accused administrators of overreacting to the situation.

The Associated Student Body was expected to discuss the recommended disbanding of the basketball program during a Tuesday night meeting and suggest ways to protest the move. Kelly said he would attend the session.

"There was a lack of care by the faculty to see how the students feel," said Ed Hefenner, president of the student government and a member of the senate.

Kings get approval from NBA for move
NEW YORK — The Kansas City Kings have a new home, but NBA commissioner David Stern said yesterday the Milwaukee Bucks and Utah Jazz would stay put.
The Kings transfer to Sacramento, Calif., for the 1985-86 season was approved by the Board of Governors with one abstention. However, the transfer is contingent on the building of a permanent stadium in two years.
Until a new arena is built, the Kings will play their home games in a temporary stadium being constructed that will seat 10,400.
The Bucks will remain in Milwaukee after the transfer of the franchise to Herb Kohl

THE BOARD ALSO tentatively approved the purchase by Larry Miller of half the Jazz. Miller was recommended by the advisory finance committee, but details of the transaction still must be worked out. Stern is expected to travel to take place within a week to 10 days.

Gregg Luckenbill, principal owner of the Kings, said a site for the new stadium, estimated to seat 16,000, had been selected and financing was in place. Luckenbill, of Sacramento, became owner of the Kings last year.
