Page B6-The Chronicle, Thursday, January 3 Inside Stuff Can N.C. State' By DICK DeVENZIO Syndicated Columnist fc i The answers to the questions are obvious, so 1 didn't need to call or meet with Terry Gannon to write this column. Besides, 1 didn't want to put him on the spot. Had I called, 1 would have had to ask Terry Gannon, the N.C. State guard vsith the long-range jump shot, some questions like these: How do you feel about getting sporadic playing time in your senior year? J3oes it i i ? -?? > ? uumcr yuu not piaying more/ How do you keep sitting there watching games and manage to keep acting like an enthusiastic team member? How do you feel when you hear people like A1 McGuire and Dick S "ml M State's big weakness is not having any good perimeter shooters? It has to bother Gannon a lot - it even bothered me* a lot when I heard Enberg say that before the Louisville game. Who did Enberg ever beat? That's not an intelligent comeback, but it's the kind of question a player feels like asking when he has to hear these things. Reporters ask these kinds of questions: "Terry, how does if feel to be shooting 37 percent this year?

How did it feel in the Maryland game to get just four minutes when freshman guard Vinnie Del Negro got twice that? "Do you still remember when you were the talk of the ACC, Terry? When everyone was talking about how to stop Gannon?" I remember those things, Terry. And 1 didn't put an ounce of stock in expert A1 McGuire's comment that all you have to do against Gannon is play man-to-man and you take him right out of the game. There are offenses in which you would throw the ball to Lorenzo Charles inside and, when the defense sagged to stop him, he would pitch it out to Gannon for the easy jumper. But State isn't that patient. The If you talk to Terry, he will be forced to tell you he just wants what's best for the team. He wouldn't tell you how a coach's unexplained (and often unexplainable) actions break down a player's confidence. He wouldn't tell you how frustrating it is and how impotent a player can feel as he sits the bench waiting for a chance while trying to be a good team member. Terry Gannon is an education major at State and an outstanding student. His father was a good basketball coach.

With that goal, it wouldn't make much sense to get a reputation a*a disgruntled player -- or to alienate a man with the stature and connections Valvano has. With an eye to the future ? perhaps Gannon would like to a be a grad assistant at State next year ? Gannon will be a team man and keep his mouth shut, as most players do. But we will know the ache nevertheless, especially w hen we watch a game like the one against Louisville and see Gannon, once the ACC's best shooter, throw the unmentionable: an **airball.'* It isn't fun to watch a player's response to line-up juggling.
