University Daily Kansan / Wednesday, July 13, 1988 Sports 9 Tar Heel ties benefit new basketball coach By the Kansan Staff A North Carolina connection apparently has helped make up what new Kansas men's basketball coach Roy Williams lacked in terms of name recognition. Williams, a former assistant coach at North Carolina, was not a bigname coach like Athletic Director Bob Frederick said he wanted to attract. However, Williams' association with Tar Heel coach Dean Smith seemed to satisfy Kansas fans and players. "I think Williams comes in with good credentials and a very good recommendation," said John T. Stewart, an alumni contributor to the Williams Fund from Wellington. "Having Dean Smith behind him probably made a big difference in the selection process." Smith, who also recommended former coach Larry Brown to Kansas, was a member of the Jayhawks' 1962 national championship team. North Carolina won or shared six Atlantic Coast Conference regular-season titles and a national champ. Williams' 10 years as an assistant. "I think he'll be a very good bench coach," sophomore player Mark Randall said. "Everyone has an awesome respect for (Smith)." Just two KU players had met Williams before he was hired. Williams said senior Scooter Barry had worked at North Carolina's basketball camp last summer. Jayhawk recruit Sean Tunstall said he was recruited by Williams this season. "I talked to him on the phone about twice." Tunstall said, "but I haven't talked to him since he's been named coach." Senior Lincoln Minor, junior Kevin Pritchard and Randall all met with Williams on Friday afternoon in his office. "He's a great guy," Randall said. "I'm impressed. I turned on the radio in my car and heard the press conference. He sounded very articulate." Pritchard said Williams' coaching style was similar to Brown's. "Anytime a coach tells me his most important thing is to work as hard as you can and be as uselfish as you can, that's a big thing for me," Pritchard said. "I think he'll be mainly like Coach Smith. I think we'll push the ball up and fast break to get a quick basket. But most important is we'll play great defense." Minor said he was relieved that the speculation about Brown's replacement was over. Williams ready to take charge Roy Williams could have spent last Friday on a sun-drenched Caribbean isle. Instead, he was standing in front of microphones at the Holiday Inn Holidome, 200 McDonald Drive, being introduced as the men's basketball coach at Kansas. But Williams said he didn't mind the lost vacation time. By the Kansan Staff "When you look at the big picture, things like that are not quite as important." he said. When he and his wife, Wanda, left for Bermuda on June 5, Williams was in his 10th year as an assistant to North Carolina basketball coach Dean Smith. He had talked to KU athletic director Bob Frederson of the international Airport concerning the Kansas position before departing. "My wife and I were trying to grab about four days together away from the kids and the players." Williams said. "We got about two." At 11:08 p.m. Thursday, Frederick offered Williams a four-year contract with a base salary of $78,000 a year. Williams is the seventh coach in Kansas history, succeeding Larry Brown, who resigned to coach the San Diego State. Williams to 19p.18% NGAA title. Williams said Brown was a tough act to follow. "There's a lot of pressure here," Williams said. "There are a lot of expectations. But if there was not as much pressure from the outside, there'd still be a lot of pressure that I'd out on myself." Although he had said earlier he wanted to hire a successful National College Athletic Association Division I coach, Frederick said he turned to Williams because of a recommendation from Smith. "He represented some solidity," Frederick said, "and some stability." Williams earned a bachelor's degree in education in 1972 and a master's in teaching in 1973. He coached basketball, golf and freshman football in Swannanaa, N.C., before returning to North Carolina as junior varsity basketball coach from 1979 to 1986. "I coached at the same high school for five years," Williams said. "I was at North Carolina for 10 years. I've had the same wife for 15 years, and I've had the same set of golf clubs for 17 years. "I was told Kansas wins a national championship every 37 years. I don't know if I can last that long, but I'm sure as heck going to try." Williams may first have to contend with an NCAA inquiry into alleged fraud. CBS-TV basketball analyst Billy Packer said, "No matter how serious the NCAA's charges are, he's in there for the long haul. If they get probation, it isn't going to be for the rest of his life." Packer said NCAA probation could double the amount of time it would take to replenish the talent lost since the beginning of the 1987-88 season. "He's not inheriting a wealth of talent," Packer said. "If (Kansas) is put on probation, instead of a two-year turnaround, then it could be a four-year turnaround." Frederick initially offered the job to Smith an Emperor native and Kingman. "He said he'd have to turn it down because he didn't feel it would be right to leave a place where they had named a building after him," Fred- Williams said he didn't mind being the second candidate for the coaching job. "I'll tell you. I think every job I've had, I wasn't the first choice," said Williams, who said he had turned down four Division 1 job offers. "I've been the first choice at several I've turned down." Williams said he handled all phases of coaching under Smith, although recruiting was his emphasis. "At North Carolina, he's had the opportunity to study one of the most knowledgeable coaches in the game," Packer said. "He's been in a position to judge talent and get involved in the organizational aspect of a program that's equal of any in the country." North Carolina AllAmerica J.R. Reid said he was confident of Williams' coaching ability. Reid said Williams was concerned about his players' problems and was worried that he might be fired. Williams said he was impressed by the players he had met at Kansas. "He's an excellent coach," Reid said. "I don't think anybody knows the game any better." "He'll look for quality student-athletes," Reid said. "He won'tsacrifice his reputation for guys who can't handle the load academically." "They're the type of people I like to coach and to be around," he said. "I will try to bring in the type of student-athlete who will represent the University well. Whether we'll be successful is something I won't be able to tell right now." The new Kansas assistant coach, Jerry Green, who resigned as coach of North Carolina-Ashville to take the Kansas job, and Williams left Saturday morning to begin recruiting for the 1988-89 season. Sunday was the first day coaches could begin contacting prospective recruits. Despite his reputation as a strong recruiter, Packer said, Williams will have to establish a recruiting base in the Midwest. Scott Huffman, a 1988 KU graduate, practices pole vaulting as Pat Monson, Aurora, Colo., sophomore, watches. Four KU track men make Olympic trials Bv lill M. iohn Kansan sportswriter An Olympic flag is fastened to the ceiling above Pat Manson's bed. It's a visible reminder of Manson's lifelong goal to compete in the Olympic Games. The dreams of his Jayhawk teammates Scott Huffman, Chris Bohanan and Vince Labosky may not be as visible, but they are just as real. Manson, Huffman and Bohanan are pole vaulters who qualified for the Olympic trials in Indianapolis, Ind., last week. Labosky, Vincentton, New Jersey, junior, qualified for the trials in the javelin throw with a personal best toss of 248 feet. He said he will need a throw in the mid-250 foot range to make the team. "All of the good throws will come on Saturday just because there will be so much pressure to make the finals," Labosky said. "If there are going to be any records, look for them on Saturday." Raymond Mitchell and Ron Bahm are former Kansas athletes who qualified for the trials and are training in Lawrence this summer. Mitchell has long-jumped 26 feet, 9 inches to qualify for the meet. He said he might need a jump in the middle to high 27 foot range to make squats. He also took the Kunjung in 1987 but sat out the 1988 season, qualified in the javelin. Manson, along with Bohanan and A jump of 18 feet $3\frac{1}{4}$ inches was needed to qualify for the trials and Kansas' pole vaulters were the first three collegians to clear that mark this past season, said Rick Attig, Kansas assistant track coach. Huffman, who graduated in May, are among seven collegiate pole vaulters who qualified for the trials. The top three will make the Olympic team. "I think it'll take 18 feet, 8 inches to 19 feet to make the Olympic team, and all three of these guys have jumped 19 feet in practice, so they're capable," said Attig, who is the Olympic pole vault coach this year. Bohanan's personal best is 18 feet, $ _{3/4} $ inches and both Manson and Huffman have vaulted 18 feet, $ _{6/2} $ inches. Attig said his role had diminished because he no longer analyzed the vaulters' techniques but simply let them work on their timing. Although all three Kansas vaulters are capable of making the Olympic team this year, the 1992 Olympics may be a more realistic goal for them. Attiis said. "Realistically, 1992 looks better for us," Huffman said. "All of the really strong vaulters are in their mid to late 20s." "Vaulters don't peak until about 22. Manson said so, I'd say 1902 or yes." All three said they would continue to train even after leaving college for another Olympic chance in 1992. The 14 allegations against Kansas Here are the 14 alleged infractions concerning the University of Kansas' men's basketball team contained in the NCAA letter of inquiry sent to Athletic Director Bob Frederick on June 20. It is alleged that in the summer of 1986, at the conclusion of a prospective student-athlete's official paid visit, a staff member and an institutional representative provided the prospective student-athlete transportation to an area airport and the institutional representative purchased an airline ticket for the prospective student-athlete to return home because the prospective student-athlete had left his airline ticket at a hotel in Lawrence and because the staff member did not have sufficient funds to purchase the ticket. It is further alleged that the institutional representative accompanied the prospective student on the flight. It is alleged that during the summer of 1986, an institutional representative purchased an airline ticket for a prospective student-athlete to travel from his home to the Lawrence area. It is further alleged that a staff member then transported the prospective student-athlete from the airport to Lawrence and purchased a meal for him. While the institutional representative asked the prospective student-athlete to reimburse him for the cost of the airline ticket, the prospective student-athlete did not do so. It is alleged that during the summer of 1986, an institutional representative loaned money to a prospective student-athlete's family to pay a utility bill. It is alleged that the loan has not been repaid by the prospective student-athlete. It is alleged that during the summer of 1986, a staff member provided a prospective student-athlete $200 in cash; a staff member provided local transportation for the prospective student-athlete to a bank where the prospective student-athlete opened a checking account; and a staff member transported the prospective student-athlete to a local health facility where the prospective student-athlete obtained minor health care at no cost. It is alleged that during the summer of 1986, an institutional representative provided local automobile transportation for a prospective student-athlete and purchased clothing for the prospective student-athlete. It was the institutional representative's understanding that the prospective student-athlete would work to repay the cost of the clothing, but the prospective student-athlete did not do so. It is alleged that during the summer of 1986, a staff member provided cash to a prospective student-athlete so the individual could purchase a round-trip airline ticket for travel between Kansas City and the prospective student-athlete's home to enable the prospective student-athlete to visit a family member who was ill. Further, a staff member provided transportation for the prospective student-athlete from the University campus to a local travel agency where the prospective student-athlete purchased the airline ticket, and then to an area airport. It is alleged that during the summer of 1986, staff members arranged for a prospective student-athlete to be provided lodging and meals for approximately a week on a credit basis and the prospective student-athlete did not pay the cost of the lodging and meals. It is alleged that during the summer of 1986, a staff member gave a prospective student-athlete a pair of basketball shoes at no cost when the prospective student-athlete told a staff member he did not have basketball shoes. It is alleged that during the summer of 1986, an institutional representative paid a prospective student-athlete for work not actually performed. It is alleged that beginning in the summer of 1986 and ending in the spring of 1987, institutional representatives contacted prospective student-athletes in person, off campus, at local restaurants and at an area airport on approximately ten occasions. It is alleged that a staff member acted contrary to the principles of ethical conduct in relation to certain alleged violations and that this demonstrates a knowing and willful effort by the staff member to operate part of the institution's intercollegiate athletic program in a manner contrary to NCAA legislation. It is alleged that in November 1986, a staff member entertained a prospective student-athlete at a site more than 30 miles from the University's campus. It is alleged that the University failed to apply properly NCAA eligibility regulations in permitting a student-athlete to participate in intercollegiate athletic competition after the institution became aware that the student-athlete had received benefits contrary to the NCAA's extra benefit rule. After the University declared the student-athlete ineligible, the student-athlete's eligibility was restored upon appeal. ■ It is alleged that during 1986, staff members failed to report to the chief executive officer of the University that they had any knowledge of or were involved in any violations of NCAA legislation, and based upon that information and without an intent to do so, the University's chief executive officer allegedly erroneously certified in 1986, the University's compliance with NCAA legislation.
