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

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"

"We've got a good nucleus coming back, so we
should be able to keep this up next season," he said.

said. "The only place we can play is Ernie Shore
Field and its availability is very limited."
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.

"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

Association spring sports championships will be
