OLYMPIC COACH: Bob Knight going to be himself
Full picture of Knight is better
By DAVE ANDERSON c. 1984 N.Y. Times News Service NEW YORK Bobby Knight didn’t even stop dribbling. After a two-day timeout following Indiana’s elimination from the National Collegiate Athletic Associaton tournament, he was on display Monday as the U.S. Olympic basketball coach with a philosophy as blunt as he is. “Never to lose,’’ he was saying. “Keep the players going with an undefeated record. ’’ To assure the gold medal at the XXIII Olympic Games in Los Angeles, the U.S. team needs an 8-0 record more in the medal-round tournament. In the basketball gospel according to Bobby, that 8-0 record would represent the Olympic ideal. But ever since this occasionally inflammable coach was appointed, his critics have doubted that he is the ideal Olympic coach. At the Olympics, according to his critics, Knight will say something or do something to embarrass the United States. But when Knight was asked Monday if he intended to be on his best behavior in Los Angeles, he drove the baseline. “I’m going to be myself,” he said of his Olympian task. “How can I go about it any other way? I think I’ve tried to be as careful as I can in the past. You can isolate on something here or there that I’ve done, or your can look at the broad picture.” In regard to “something here or there,” he has been involved in two serious incidents in recent years. As the coach of the U.S. team at the 1979 PanAmerican Games in Puerto Rico, he was convicted in absentia of aggravated assault following an altercation with a San Juan policeman over the use of a gym for practice. Sentenced to six months in prison and fined SSOO, he returned to his Indiana home. Puerto Rico did not seek extradition. But several Americans with him there defended him as the victim of false testimony by the policeman. As a speaker at a charity dinner in Gary, Ind., last year, he insulted Puerto Rico in what he thought was a humorous manner, but others did not take it that way. As the Indiana coach during the 1981 Final Four, he scuffled with a Louisiana State booster who had insulted him in the cocktail lounge of a Cherry Hill, N.J., motel. No charges were filed. In regard to those incidents, Knight likes to say, “I don’t agree with everything I do.” That’s about as close as he will come to apologizing for those two controversial moments. But in the “broad picture,” Knight has been a clean recruiter at Indiana where he has developed “disciplined” teams, notably the 1981 and 1976 national champions. When his Indiana basketball fans once serenaded a referee with a vulgar chant, he grabbed the public address microphone and threatened to forfeit the game unless the chant ceased. In the broad picture, he has been a good guy who has had bad moments, sometimes because of his sarcastic sense of humor. But he has not been a bad guy per se. Equally important, Knight is arguably the
New subs seek starting spots
By The Associated Press Mike Hargrove and Omar Moreno, two veterans who have played regularly for most of their careers, are trying to send messages that they aren’t ready for bench duty. Moreno, hitting .195 this spring and ticketed for spot duty until Monday, had three hits and knocked in two runs to
best basketball coach in the United States, in or out of the National Basketball Association, and now he is the Olympic cosch. “We’re going to choose cr players,” he said Monday, “as to their ability and how they relate to the way we want tc play.” Knight used “we” in referring to his three assistant coaches (Don Donoher of Dayton, CM. Newton of Vanderbilt and George Raveling of Iowa) and to his committee of 14 other coaches and Olympic officials. But be assured that, as the head coach, he will have the last word. Id he didn’t, he wouldn’t be the coach. “I don’t know if I’ll have the last word, but I’ve got to have a word,” he said with a smile. “It could be the first or the last or the middle.” Knight will meet Wednesday in Seattle with his committee to invite anywhere from 48 to 64 players to the Olympic Trials, April 16-22, at his Bloomington, Ind., campus. After doubleheaders on April 21 and 22, the squad will be cut to probably 16 players. Following an exhibition tour against NBA all-star teams, the final 12-player roster will be submitted on July 15. “After that, we can’t substitute anybody,” he said. “If somebody gets hurt in our scrimmages against NBA summer league teams in San Diego, we’re stuck.” Knight, here to receive the Kodak-National Invitation Tournament Man of the Year award Monday night, wouldn’t discuss any Olympic candidates, not even such obvious all-America choices as Patrick Ewing of Georgetown, Michael Jordan and Sam Perkins of North Carolina, Chris Mullin of St. John’s, and Wayman Tisdale of Oklahoma. “We want two centers, three guards and seven mobile players who can play guard or forward, or forward and the post,” he said. “Olympic rules don’t affect tactical or strategical maneuvering, but the foul lane is trapezoidal. Your post men must be good defensive players, able to cover the lane and rebound. They need to do that before they have to score.” Knight expected Yugoslavia (the 1980 champion at the Moscow Games boycotted by the United States), the Soviet Union, Italy, Spain and Canada to be the most formidable contenders for the gold medal. Until 1972, when the Soviet Union stunned the American team on a disputed basket in the title game, the United States had always won the gold medal. Its most famous team was the 1960 champions with Oscar Robertson, Jerry West and Jerry Lucas, and coached by Pete Newell, now one of Knight’s consultants on Olympic diplomacy. “After the semifinals in 1960, our team went out to take the bus back to the Olympic Village, but no bus,” Knight said. “Some of the officials had commandeered the bus to take them to a restaurant or wherever they were going. Pete had to put the players on a city bus that got them back to the Olympic Village at 2 in the morning.” ’Knight wasn’t laughing as he told the story. “Pete’s temperament is like mine,” he said, smiling now, “Only it’s not so evident.” At this year’s Olympics, the team bus will be there.
lead the New York Yankees to a 7-2 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays Monday night. The sparkling performance by Moreno came after it was announced by the Yankees that Ken Griffey was being moved from center field to first base, where he played last year. That move seemingly could open the center field spot for Moreno, but
the Yankees have made it clear they are concerned about his ability to hit and reportedly are trying to work out a trade for another outfielder. Meanwhile, Hargrove, after learning that he had lost his starting first base job for Cleveland to Pat Tabler, had two hits Monday in the Indians’ 5-4 triumph over the Cubs.
Seattle battle
Kentucky can play rough too
LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) - Georgetown may be known as a bunch of bullies, but it’s not the only Final Four basketball team that can play rough and Kentucky wants its opponent to know that. No. 2 Georgetown plays thirdranked Kentucky in the national semifinals Saturday in Seattle. “We’re not going to be intimidated by them,’’ said Wildcat forward Winston Bennett, who’s been known to roughhouse himself. “Physical play and roughness is our kind of game anyway. We’re a hardnosed, physical ballclub. That’s what we stand for. “So I don’t think that will bother us whatsoever.” Just in case, Bennett said, Coach Joe B. Hall talked with his players Monday after he dismissed media and spectators from the team’s first practice since it beat Illinois 54-51 Saturday to win the Mideast Regional. It’s hard to predict, but if Michael Graham, Patrick Ewing or one of the other Hoyas takes a swing or knocks anyone over, the Wildcats want to be ready and in control, Bennett said. “Coach more or less talked about that today, and from listening to that, what I have to do is run up to the guy, put a finger in his face and say, ‘l’m not going to stand for this,’ ” said the 6-7, 210-pound freshman from Louisville. “It’ll be awfully hard not to retaliate,
Quickness, not size, is key
WASHINGTON (AP) - Georgetown, on its way to the second Final Four appearance in three years, will find itself in a rare position against Kentucky on Saturday looking up at a bigger opponent. But the Hoyas say the quickness that helped them set records for defense this season should be more than a match for the “Twin Towers” of Kentucky. “Pressure (defense) has to be more of a factor for us now,” said Georgetown Coach John Thompson. Georgetown earned the trip to Seattle by beating Dayton 61-49 Sunday, and that was the most points the Hoyas have allowed in the postseason tournament. “It won’t be me against (7-1 Sam) Bowie or (6-11 Mel) Turpin,” said 7-foot All-American center Patrick Ewing, named the top player in the West Regional. “It will be Georgetown against Kentucky. It will be team defense. That’s the way we’ll be looking at it.” Senior guard Gene Smith says

No. I's selected LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) Henry Clay’s Steve Miller and Marshall County’s Carol Parker have been chosen Kentucky’s Mr. and Miss Basketball. The awards, announced Monday, are given by the Kentucky Lions Eye Foundation and are voted on by coaches across the state, said George Stout, game director for the Kentucky-Indiana All-Stars. Miller, a senior center, won by a wide margin over Fred Tisdale of Logan County, while Parker edged Belitta Croley of Henry Clay, Stout said. Miller, a member of the Kentucky Associated Press AllState team, guided his team to a quarterfinal finish in the Boys State High School Basketball Tournament this season and has committed to attend Western Kentucky University. Parker, an All-State, 5-11 senior center, was named the Most Valuable Player of the Girls State High School Basketball Tournament last week as she led the Lady Marshals to the state crown. Stout also announced that tryouts for the Kentucky-Indiana series would be held April Hand 15.
but I think I can control as long as he knows I’m not going to be intimidated.” If that doesn’t do it, defense will, said Bennett: “Yell, ‘Stick! Stick! Stick!’ and all up in his face, giving him no room to move and trying not to let him touch the ball things like this... I think it’s a challenge. ” Three Kentucky players bore scars from the rough victory over Illinois: guard Dicky Beal had a black eye and forwards Sam Bowie and Kenny Walker were limping. But all three worked out and said they’d be fine by Saturday’s game. “I’m looking forward to playing Georgetown ... Pat Ewing is a great player,” said
the Hoyas aren’t going to let Bowie and Turpin stop their march to a title. “Our three objectives this year were to win the Big East Conference, to win the Big East tournament and the national championship,” he said. “Two of those we accomplished, and the third is still our objective. “Guards will be a major factor, but defense will be the major factor. Who can stop whom?” he said. Smith will have the task of guarding Dickie Beal, the speedy guard who has paced the Wildcats since moving into the

Melvin Turpin, Kentucky’s 6-11 center. “He’s a shot blocker. He’s an intimidator something like Kentucky is. “We intimidate. We block a few shots.” “We” means mostly the Wildcats’ “Twin Towers,” Turpin and Bowie, although the 6-8 Walker also likes to hang around the basket. “Georgetown likes to intimidate players. So does Kentucky,” said Turpin. “We like to intimidate players, too. So there’s no problem.” “We should be able to bang with this team. We’re going to have to be physical. If we’re not, we’re not going to be able to stay in the game,” Beal said.
starting lineup a little more than 10 games ago. “He’s probably one of the quickest guards in college basketball,” said Smith. Georgetown players stayed on the West Coat, where they have been since traveling to the regionals two weeks ago. A team spokesman said the players would go to the Seattle area without returning to the Georgetown campus before Saturday’s semifinal. In Los Angeles, Thompson began preparing a strategy to offset the Kentucky inside strength.
