nationally in two other statistical
categories, while the 1970-71 USC
squad, which finished the year
with a 2:3-6 record, made the list in
two statistical areas. The
Gamecocks, forced to play more
aggressively on defense against
the slowdown tactics of several
opponents, did lose their two-year
lock on the number one ranking on
the fewest personal fouls com
mit ted list, not making the top five
in that area.
Individually, Rloche ranked 54th

(This is the second in a two-part series on the signing of
undergraduates by the pros.)
While the current controversy surrounding the legal
Illegal signings of college underclassmen swirls in the
midst of some very heated discussions, various false
allegations and little chance of a rapid solution, one group
ot individuals looms as perhaps the only hope of salvation
for the war between profossional basketball and the
NCAA: the management.
All too often the management, or more specifically, t
general manager, ends up as the fall guy, facing numerous
suits, internal dissension and the ever-present prospect of
losing his job altogether. For this group of men are
mistakenly grouped into one category bearing a kid
napping sign. Such is not the case.
Whether we choose to believe it or not, the rift between
the two leagues and that with the NCAA is not cherished in
the least by any of the warring parties. For one, it tar
nishes the reputations of three fine sports structures as
well as confusing anyone who gets caught up in the tur
mol.
Among the nmst recent signings was that of
Mississippi's Johnny Neumann by the ABA's Memphis
Pros. OnWy a mere, Neumann led the natien in
scoring, htting a 49.1 clip. Suddenly, ut of the apparent
clear blue, Neumainn is In a profession&& ergenizatier, as
once again, the ASA, NSA and NCAA boteme embrOed in
yet another fIght.
"We did not try to get Johnny Neumann out of college,"
