Hampton coach
By BARRY COOPER
Syndicated Columnist
It makes no difference to some that Hampton Institute,
a small, private college located in Hampton, Va.,
has the best tennis program in the history of black college
athletics.
It does not matter to some that, over the last 14 years,
Dr. Robert Screen's teams have won an incredible 80 percent
of their matches (262-62), and captured 11 Central
Intercollegiate Athletic Association championships, as
well as the NCAA Division II national crown in 1976.
Those accomplishments often are pushed aside by
Hampton alumni, who would rather talk with disgust
about the racial makeup of Screen's teams.
If Screen is the most successful tennis coach in black
college history, then he is also one of the most controversial.
Though enrollment at his school is virtually allblack,
few black athletes are ever on the Hampton tennis
team.
This year, of the top eight players on the squad, only
three are American blacks. In previous years, the situation
has been worse.
Despite all that, Screen, a very outspoken man, make
no apologies. He says as long as the top black high school
talent ignores Hampton Institute, then he will ignore it,

nston-Salem teams with their trapping defenses
after the two-day tourney last week, the Winstonid
win less. Above, a portion of the 10-and-under
and Raylon Etheridge (12), doesn't seem to care
it).
i doing it his way
and stick with the overseas recruiting that has made him
famous.
"I think two things are going on," Screen says.
"Number one, blacks are still suffering from the 'white is
right' syndrome. When the top black tennis players come
out of high school, their parents pack them off and proudly
send them off to Stanford or UCLA. When players
who could hardly make their high schoot team get ready
to graduate, their parents try to send them to me. I won't
stand for that. I'm not interested in taking kids who have
to be taught how to serve, how to lob.
"The second thing is, black kids don't know anything
about black culture. They're ignorant. 1 have to explain
to them where Hampton Institute is. That is incredible
for a school that was associated with Booker T.
Washington, who was associated with W.E.B. DuBois.
It's a shame what is happening."
Alumni groups have not been able to change Screen's
recruiting practices. While other black college coaches
take whatever black youngsters they can get, Screen helps
keep the phone company in business by calling all over
South America and Africa for talent.
His top player this year is Godwin Emeh, from Lagos,
Nigeria. Other foreign players on the team include Mauro
Menzes of Brazil, Scott Miller of the Bahamas, Alex
