The Newberry Sun, Newberry, S. C., Thursday, March 5, 1970—PAGE 3 Neild Gordon honored by fellow coaches “Things could be different this seson,” Newberry College basketball coach Nield Gordon said last October when speaking about the Indians. “On paper,” he continued, “this could be one of the best Newberry teams in history.” Well, things were different. His fellow coaches in the 15- team District 6 NAIA league have voted him as the District’s Coach of the Year in recogni tion of Gordon’s ability as a coach and the successful season which the Indians completed. The 1969-70 Indians finished the regular season last week with the best record ever com piled by a Newberry College basketball squad: 21 wins and 6 losses. In NAIA District 6 competition the basketballers gained an impressive 11-1 re cord losing only to the Erskine Flying Fleet by two points, 67- 69. In the tough Carolinas Con ference the team posted an 8-4 record to tie for second place, the highest Newberry has ever finished in the Conference. Newberry College is Coach Gordon’s third coaching assign ment; he came to the Lutheran- supported school in 1963 after serving as assistant coach at Furman University under the head coach Lyles Alley from 1956-63. He also served as the head basketball mentor at Bel mont Abbey, Belmont, N. C. for the 1955-56 season. While a student at Wingate Junior College, Wingate, N. C. he was the leading scorer in the nation during the 1949-50 season and was All-AmericanJr. College in 1951; he then trans ferred to Furman University, where he added more laurels to his career. After graduation, Gordon played with the profes sional New York Knickerbock ers before entering the service. His 1969-70 edition of the New berry College Indians won the College of Charleston tourna ment, the South Carolina Tip- Off Tournament at Spartanburg and their own Newberry Invita tional Tournament before losing their first game of the season in early January. Gordon’s club, small by com parison with other teams in the district, has one of the leading rebounders in the district,Char lie Gilroy, with an average of 16.3 per game and two players, Buddy Moore and Steve Holling sworth, who have scored an id entical 548 points with an aver age of 20.3 points per game. The only “big” man on the squad is Moore who stands 6-9; the other starters are Tommy Miller, 5-11; and Kevin Howard, 6-2. Freshman Bill Sullivan and junior Charlie Neal are the two reserves making up the squad. Gordon is married and has three daughters to form the nu cleus of a future basketball team.
