7 Page B2-The Chronicle, Thursday, April 11, 1985 Sport? Scope Everybody sw By DAVID BULLA Chronicle Sports Editor Hampton University's women's basketball coach likes to see everyone sweat. "I can remember our high school coach in Norfolk didn't use all his players," said Hampton'* James Sweat, whose Pirates made the Final Four of u ~ kta a t* t> ?? * 1 111c L/ivisiun 11 1 ournameni. i reaiizea you need to develop your bench." Sweat used his entire bench throughout the season as Hampton fashioned a 30-4 record in his fourth year at the CIAA school. "The really great programs - the North Carolina men and Old Dominion women -- have plenty of depth," Sweat continued. "These programs build to a point where they have good talent on their bench as well as on the floor. That's what we're trying to do here." Ten of Sweat's 14 players saw action in at least 30 games. That enabled half of his players to average six or more points per game. "If you are good enough to play in college, you should be able to participate," the Hampton coach said. "If you don't play everybody, you're not going to be as fresh at the end of the season as the beginning." Although Sweat admitted 441 don't think I can do this every year," he was able to maintain basketball's version of utilitarianism through the NCAA Tournament. "The playoffs are a little different from the regular season," he said. "You might get down to your top seven or eight then, but I didn't have to this year. We were fortunate to have quantity and quality. I hope it's that way each season." The use-them-all philosophy came in handy as four different players suffered injuries during the season. That included a broken thumb suffered by all-America Anita Cooper, the team's secondheading scorer at 18 points per garneT" Although Sweat loses all-America Darlene Chanev to graduation. he returns \7 nl?v#?rc n#vt season. "We've got a good nucleus coming back, so we should be able to keep this up next season," he said. Sweat said his system had little effect on a humiliating loss to eventual champion Cal PolyAnderson wins Big baseball league in the city have gone for naught.

Ernie Shore is the home of the Winston-Salem Spirits of the Class A Carolina League. The Spirits play 70 games there each summer. The other teams that rent the stadium must work around the Spirits' schedule. The city's four semi-pro teams ~ the Pond Giants, Indians, Braves and Phillies ? will continue as they have the last few summers without an organized league. But Petree hopes to form a league by next year. "I hope we could bring in a couple of teams from the surrounding area," he said. "The city might work with us, if we had a six-team league." Petree said he's preparing a 45-game schedule for this summer, beginning the last week of May. I MAJOR LEAGUE LANE 151 Stratford Road Ron Weiderman, Mgr. I l/z Price Bowling I l/2 Price Food & Bever.

"We had a total breakdown, so I don't think the system made any difference," he said of the 91-51 loss. "We were inexperienced in Final Four play. They had been to three or four championships in recent years. We basically played a better team." Cal Poly-Pomona beat top-ranked and defending national champion Central Missouri State in the finals 80-69. "You get to the Final Four and you gotta dance the same way you always dance," Sweat said. Sweat completed his fourth season as the Hampton women's coach this yearr. In three of those four seasons his teams have won at least 20 games. The fourth one posted 19 victories. Noted And Ouoted As the May 4 National Basketball Association hardship deadline nears, a growing consensus is that it is best for Kenny Green to stay at Wake Forest for his senior season. While Green's stock is not likely to change in the next year, this year's draft has far more talent than next year's. Scout Marty Blake said it is NBA policy not to comment on undergradtfetds. However, Blake said 4'at the coach's (Carl Tacy's) behest, I advised Kenny to stay for his senior year." Critics say staying in college will give the 6-6 forward the opportunity to work on playing with his face to the basket, something he'll do more of in the NBA. CIAA Spring Championships Here This year's Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association spring sports championships will be held in Winston-Salem April 20-21. The softball tournament, featuring Coach Tim Grant's defending champion Rams, will be held at Civitan Park.
