4B Friday, September 8, 1995 UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN Ex-Jayhawk battles in a different court Mike Maddox makes impact before judges instead of referees By Dan Gelston Kansan sportswriter When former Kansas basketball player Mike Maddox graduated in 1991, he knew he did not want to quit dealing with courts on an everyday basis. the Jayhawks. When it was time to stop playing on the basketball courts, Maddox went to law school to begin dealing with the court of law. He also has confronted the realization that once he left Kansas, he would not always be on the side of the Judson. Maddox was the attorney for Alani Pahlu u, Kansas football player who sued the University after he was medically disqualified. Mike Maddox For Maddox, being an onpo- nent of Kansas provided a some what uncomfortable situation. "It was difficult for me," Maddox said. "These people are my friends. They helped me at KU and in my career. I think they realize that I was just doing my job, and there's nothing personal between us." Pahulu's request to be reinstated by the team was denied by the U.S. District Court, and he has since transferred from Kansas. Maddox said that a loss in the courtroom was much like a basketball loss. "You can't really sit around and dwell on it," he said. "You have to put it behind you and get ready for the next one." Maddox was a key contributor to the success of the Kansas basketball team from 1987 to 1991. He was a reserve during Kansas' run to the 1988 national championship and looks back with great fondness. "We had some problems during the season that year," Maddox said. "But we were able to get rid of those problems come tournament time." When Maddox looks out the window of his Mercantile Bank Tower office, he can see Massachusetts Street, where the team was hailed by more than 60,000 people in a victory parade. "It was big," he said. "It was a great feeling, and one that I'll always treasure." By the time Kansas' next championship appearance rolled around in 1991, Maddox was a starter and compiled the fifth-highest field goal percentage in Kansas history at 55.3 percent. But unlike the 1988 championship game, Kansas fell to Duke. "That loss will be something I'll be thinking about for the rest of my life," Maddox said. "I don't dwell on it, but it was very disappointing." While Maddox and the rest of the team became derailed on the championship path, it was in his senior year that he decided that becoming an attorney was the career path for him. Last year he graduated from law school, and after working as a clerk, he joined the firm of Stevens, Brand, Golden, Winter and Skepnek. Scott Bloch, a lawyer at the firm for 10 years, was one of the attorneys who decided to hire Maddox. "When we first met him, we immediately noticed his charisma personality and that he was highly intelligent," Bloch said. "We were initially curious about his lawyering skills, but we are extremely pleased with the work he has done." Maddox said he was able to apply much of what he had learned in basketball to his present work. "I try to take a lot of the stuff that Coach Williams and Coach Brown taught me and use it when I'm getting ready for a trial." Maddox said about his former coaches, Roy Williams and Larry Brown. "It's mostly the preparation: knowing what your opponent is going to do, making sure I can counteract that. Just like basketball, this is a team game. I have to rely on my fellow lawyers to help me with a case." Maddox has also dabbed in broadcasting with Lawrence Cable Channel 6, but for now he's content to remain an attorney. "My family is here, and I love it here," Maddox said. "No matter what happens, I'll always be a Jayhawk." Today's Birthday (Sept. 8): You may need more education to get where you want to go. Enroll this month. Caring for plants, animals or human beings are good career areas. You don't have to specialize until November. Stay home and entertain in December. Renew an old friendship in January. Get expert help in February. Do research carefully and succeed in a legal matter in March. In July, providing for loved ones could be expensive, so start saving now. Horoscopes Cancer (June 22-July 22): Things should be going pretty smoothly in your life right now. That's good, because a friend might need a little extra attention. Your intuition should be excellent today. Use it to figure out which question to ask and to solve a problem at home. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): You are a very outgoing, enthusiastic person. It might be hard for you to sit still long enough to learn the lesson today. If that's the case, here's a clue: Think of something another person wants and provide it without even being asked. Aries (March 21-April 19): Pay attention to others today. For example, don't play your stereo at full blast unless you're plugged into your headphones. If you want to be successful in romance tonight, give a little gift. Also, pay back a debt you owe to a kind and thoughtful person. Taurus (April 20-May 20): You have an affectionate nature, and the moon in Pisces brings it out. Today, you may notice that you can almost share a loved one's feelings. If he or she isn't happy, work on getting over the blues together. Let go of an old secret. It's weighing you down. Gemini (May 21-June 21): Today, life might hand you a pop quiz. Instead of finding the right words, find the perfect little present to give. Listening may be more effective than talking for a while. Leave the door to your heart open, and somebody might sneak in! Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Yours is the sign of service, a difficult thing to provide well. Today, however, it might be easy and fun! And although you may not be asking for anything in return, you may get an unusual reward. Have dinner this evening with a person who'll push you to success. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): You are a very verbal creature and may not be used to communicating in non-verbal ways. Today, practice hearing what isn't being said. Your romantic instincts should be right on target. There could be confusion at home, so be persistent tonight. **Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21):** You might come up with a touch of genius so brilliant that it seems positively inspired. Don't let old problems interfere; they're history. Talk over a change with your mate tonight, and with a wise older person. You'll get more done working with a team. Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): To be on the safe side, listen carefully and move slowly. In romance, things should be less complicated. Your honesty will be most appreciated when you're with the one you love. You'll be most effective everywhere if you keep it light! Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): If you want to make a good impression, take a gift. It doesn't have to be expensive, but it should be thoughtfully selected and offered with no strings attached. A friend nearby may help you meet new ones farther away. Keep your goals in mind. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): If an associate doesn't want to hear your explanations, save them. This is a good evening for meditating, listening to cripples chirp and getting in touch with your emotions. Don't try to figure it all out, just enjoy whatever happens. Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): You should be very receptive to miracles today, so ask for what you want! Meanwhile, be patient and forgiving. A person who's making demands on your time may not realize how much you resent the intrusion. Talk it over with a friend you can trust.
