Pep Talk,
Carlen's success went virtually
unnoticed. As with Morrison, his
standard of living didn't carry
much weight with USC followers.
In fact, Carlen reportedly exchanged
words with Gamecock
Club members that they didn't tak<
very nicely.
When mentioning Morrison's
lifestyle, I'm referring to his smok
ing habit and the paternal suit incident,
which the press hoarded him
about.
Well, Carlen was released in
1981 and Richard Bell was given
the job in 1982. Bell went 4-7 in
his head coaching debut and was
quickly given the boot to make
way for Morrison.
The only basketball coach I can
think of that was sure to bring

University during the '70s, Foster
coached his share of future greats.
He even played for a national
championship when Mike Gminsk
i and Gene Banks were Blue Devils
Great things were expected
when Foster arrived in 1980, but
. six years later he was released
with a 92-79 record in Columbia
and no NCAA tournament bids. It
is obvious that the heart attack
Foster suffered while at USC was
stress-related.
It just goes to show how important
winning really is. Sure, other
schools love to win, and other
coaches have had stress-related
problems, but recent years in

been shady.

Charlotte <
of all-star
By The Associated Press
CHARLOTTE, N.C. ? The I
1991 NBA All-Star game will be <
played in the Charlotte Coliseum. i
The Charlotte Hornets won the
right to be host to the game and j
three days of related activites after
league officials visited Charlotte in
June and toured the coliseum and
hotel and convention facilities.
Formal announcement of Charlotte's
selection was expected today
at a news conference at the
Charlotte Chamber of Commerce.
The weekend's activities are
held each year in February. Civic
leaders have estimated their economic
impact at $5 million to $10
million, in addition to national and
international media exposure.
A spokesman for the NBA said
he was aware a major announcement
was scheduled for today and
confirmed league officials would
be represented at the press
conference.
"An announcement will be made
Tuesday and that is all I can say,"
said Terry Lyons, assistant director
of public relations for the NBA.
"There will be someone from the
NBA present at the
announcement"
The chamber of commerce has
agreed to raise at least half of the
approximate $500,000 cost of the
all-star weekend, according to
sources close to the Hornets, with
the rest to be paid by the NBA.
The weekend events include:
? All-stars, from the NBA's
Eastern and Western conference
teams, matched in a nationally
televised game Sunday afternoon.

the party, featuring interviews with
players and league representatives,
is usually shown on cable.
The Charlotte Coliseum will be
host to the Saturday and Sunday
competition.
The selection marks the second
major sporting event the Charlotte
area has been awarded in the past
two months. In July the NCAA announced
the 1994 NCAA Final
Four would be held at the Charlotte
Coliseum.
League officials visited Charlotte
in June and toured the Charlotte
Coliseum and hotel and convention
facilities. Doug Stafford,
president of the Convention and
Visitors Bureau, said at that time
that three buildings were large
enough to be considered for the
welcoming party ? the Convention
Center and Apparel Center in
uptown Charlotte, and the Merchandise
Mart on East Independence
Boulevard.
Russ Granik, executive vice
president of the NBA, said in June
the league was considering Charlotte
and four other cities for the
1991 all-star weekend. He did not
identify the others in the running.
The major questions concerning
Charlotte dealt with number of
hotel rooms available ? Granik
said 2,300 are needed ? and space
for the welcoming party.

All questions appear to have
been answered during the league
officials' visit or in the weeks
since. The selection of Charlotte
will place the all-star weekend in
one of the NBA's newest cities for
a second straight year.
Miami, which along with the
Hornets entered the NBA through
expansion for the 1988-89 season,
will be the host for the 1990
weekend.
League officials were not available
for comment Monday. But in
June, Granik cited the area's support
of the Hornets as a major reason
for Charlotte's consideration
as an all-star site.
"Charlotte has had a tremendous
impact on the NBA," Granik said.
"We try to do things to ensure success,
but I don't think any of us (in
the league office) had any notion
how big an impact Charlotte would
have."
The Hornets have the NBA's
largest arena and led the league in
attendance in their first season,
selling out 36 of 41 regular-season
home games in the 23,388-seat
coliseum. They received enough
season-ticket requests to ensure capacity
crowds through next season.
A sellout at the coliseum would stt
an all-star record for a traditionalsize
basketball arena; four games
in domed arenas have drawn more.
An undetermined number of
tickets would be available for sale
to the all-star weekend events. The
league usually holds about 8,000
for use by its teams and officials,
and season ticket-holders of the
host team usually get first crack at
remaining tickets.
