.Cremins ob
Gamecock
Speculation has continued
to mount over |
whether or not Bobby ^ppppi
Cremins will be the fljfjgi
next head basketball
coach at Carolina.
He is not only the I % 7
most popular candidate I
| for the position, but he
is also die best candidate.
Cremins has a K E \
long list of credentials C O U
that makes him the top __________
choice for Athletics
Director Mike McGee and USC I
President John Palms. I
First and foremost among his i
credentials is that he has a proven :
track record for running a clean
program. USC is a school that is in <
desperate need of stability and 1
credibility. As everyone knows,
the Gamecocks have had trouble i
staying out of trouble and turmoil.
The only headlines and attention ;
this school has received have been 1
the result of scandals and viola- I
tions. i
With Bobby as coach, the bas- '
ketball program would get their <
first dose of positive national atten- 1
tion in a long time. Carolina and
Cremins have been a hot topic for <
Hicpiiccinn nn inct qhruit pvptv rnl- :
W.. JUO. y
lege basketball show. USC would :
I probably get a lot more attention if <
they were to lure Cremins here. i
The hiring of Cremins might
generate enough interest in the bas- j
ketball team to get more national <
television appearances next year. 1
The Gamecocks had only one <
ESPN appearance this year. 1
Another reason why Cremins is 1
a prime candidate for the coaching <
vacancy is the fact that he is good
at dealing with the media. This <
I aspect of a coaches job is very ]
important, and it is a role that I
Steve Newton did not seem com- ;
tortable handling. Coming Irom i
Murray State, he probably was not
prepared for the constant media 1
attention he would receive from I
being at Carolina and in the SEC. ]
Cremins has been in the ACC !
spotlight for over a decade now <

IB?^ and has a lot of
experience in this
area. A positive and
well-spoken coach
has a lot to do with
the image that a
school takes on.
Carolina could use
the change in image
that Bobby would
I I N give it.
L y ? r Cremins has the
_______ support of the alum
ni, booster club and
Lhe fans. Any coach that comes into
the situation that the Gamecocks are
in right now needs a great deal ot
support. Even if Cremins is not
very successful in his first year as
:oach, the pressure to win won't
build up on the program like it
would if McGee were to bring in
someone other than Cremins.
If McGee's choice were to have
a bad season, then most people
would have an "I told you so" mentality
about his choice. And even if
that coach were to win, people
would most likely say, "Fine, now
do it everv vear like Bobbv would
have if he were here."
In addition, Cremins is an immediate
crowd pleaser and could have
tm impact on ticket sales in a season
that will see the Gamecocks
:oming off of their worst campaign
in over twenty years.
When Carolina Coliseum is
packed with fans, it can be an
exciting place to watch a game.
Right now, the program needs
excitement. Carolina fans probably
won't be willing to sit around for a
few years waiting for something to
get excited about.
Besides all of those qualities,
Cremins is a flat-out good coach.
He took his Georgia Tech team to
the 1990 Final Four and guided this
year's squad to the ACC tournament
championship.
Cremins is also a great recruiter.
He is one of the best recruiters in
the country, and Carolina needs
players, witn tneir jump to tne
SEC two years ago, Carolina
entered into a new era in their bas:

oc tbam
ice to head
program
ketball program. That move necessitates
that Carolina bring in a
higher caliber of players.
Good coaching can make up for
a deficiency in talent only for so
i long. If the Gamecocks are to compete
and win on a regular basis '
against the likes of Jamal
t
Mashburn, Billy McCaffrey, Allan
Houston and James Robinson, they
have to have the players to do it. (
Cremins has brought such players
as John Salley, Dennis Scott,
I Mark Price, Kenny Anderson and
i Travis Best to Georgia Tech. If he L
can bring in that type of player to
Carolina, then the Gamecocks will 1
undoubtedly be successful. ^
Bringing Cremins in soon might
help the 'Cocks sign a few recruits
even though it so late in the recruiti
ing season. There has even been 1
some talk of several current ,
Georgia Tech players transferring i
to South Carolina. J
Lastly, Bobby is a very popular
coach with his players, as evi- ]
denced by comments in the media
regarding their coach and, specifically,
when James Forrest stuffed
the net over Bobby's head and j
hugged him while Bobby was
beins interviewed after winnins the '
ACC tournament.
The new trend in college basketball
might be towards the players
gaining more power in the program.
It was rumored that the players'
discontent with coach Lou (
Campanelli led to his firing at
California. If this is indeed the (
case, then coaches are going to
have to do more in terms of win- j
ning the respect and admiration of
their players.
The administration did the right j
thing in hiring Mike McGee, and (
now McGee must continue to move
the program in the right direction
by hiring Bobby Cremins. McGee
will most likely say that his list ot
candidates is longer than just
Cremins alone, and this is a smart
tactic. Putting all of his effort into
hiring Bobby could come back to
haunt him if Cremins decides to
stay at Tech.

Texas A&M could have been in
control of the match if it were not
for the earlier heroics of sophomores
Heather Cobum and Pauline
Rodriguez. Both of them won singles
matches that A&M seemingly
had in the bag.
Cobum rallied from a set down
and 4-0 in the second to win 12
consecutive games in her 6-7, 6-4,
6-0, victory over Anna Schlumpf.
Late-match heroics are nothing
new to Coburn this season with
Saturday's match marking the third
time this season that she has come
from a set down to win a match.
Rodriguez saved match point in

Pitching was the key for the
Lady Gamecocks in their game
against Georgia Tech. Sophomore
Darlene Gareis allowed only one
run on two hits to pick up her seventh
win of the season.
Toinette Reed and Tiff Tootle
anchored the Gamecock offense
when both players scored in the
sixth innins to erase a one run
deficit. The two runs proved to be
enough as USC held on to win 2-1.
With the two wins, Carolina's
record improved to 13-9-1 on the
year. Head coach Joyce Compton's
team played two more games
Sunday on the second day of the
South Carolina Round Robin
against the same two teams, but
results were not available at press
time.
