Conference, not
new coach
the real need
To the Editor:
I was dismayed to read the letter
in last Monday's Gamecock
lauding SG Vice President Warshauer's
decision not to sign the
McGuire resolution. The attitude
reflected in the letter exhibits a
ivmi iciv,it ui uuuci sutiiuing ui urc
basketball situation here at
Carolina.
There is one REAL question at
hand: When will the board of
trustees realize that, with no
conference affiliation, USC's
basketball program will never
reattain national prominence?
Even as fine a coach as Frank
McGuire cannot win under the
existing circumstances. Neither
could John Wooden, A1 McGuire,
or anyone else you care to name.
And the reason McGuire can't
win is that recruiting blue chip
athletes to Carolina has become
^impossible. We have a beautiful
coliseum and one of the best
athletic programs in the country,
but with no conference affiliation
we are denying ourselves the
I natural rivalries that pushed
Carolina into national prominence
in the first place.
ft
t The better athletes want the
t exposure a conference affords
t them, and will choose a school
i accordingly. (There are exceptions,
such as Notre Dame,
> which has such a national
t reputation on its own that it doesn't

Carolina we can't offer that.
* Leaving the ACC was the biggest
! mistake we ever made, and until
the board of trustees swallow their
? pride and do everything they can to
1 get us back in, the basketball
program will continue to suffer, no
1 matter who the coach is.
a
?
The trustees are throwing their
f own mistakes in McGuire's lap.
What we need is the ACC, not a new
d coach.
