Baseball quests for World Series
By CAMERON TEW
Assistant Editor
The UNC baseball team begins its
quest to return to the College World
Series (CWS) for a second straight year
when they take on Rutgers at noon
today in Waterbury, Conn.
The Tar Heels, 49-12 and the 1990
Atlantic Coast Conference champions,
were named the top-ranked team in the
NCAA Tournament's Northeast Re
gional Monday afternoon.
UNC coach Mike Roberts and many
of the UNC players watched the pair
ings in the Kenan Stadium press box.
The players cheered as Gene McArtor,
chairman of the NCAA Baseball
Committee, announced Carolina would
be playing in Waterbury's Municipal
Stadium as the region's top seed.
Roberts said he was happy to be
playing in the Northeast Regional. "I'm
very pleased to be going to Connecti
cut. It was our feeling we should be
going there," Roberts said during a
press conference at Boshamer Stadium
after the pairing were annnounced.
This will be the first time the Tar
Heels have been a No. 1 seed in the
NCAA baseball tournament. The Heels
have advanced to the CWS four times,
the most recent being last year.
Roberts said being one of the eight
teams to be in the CWS last year would
help his team experience-wise, but he
wanted the team not to get cocky be
cause of their high seeding.
"I hope we assume the same type of
attitude we had in 1989 and are as
humble and naive this year as we were
in Starkville," Roberts said.
Roberts said that even though Caro
lina was the top seed, he did not feel
they were the favorite entering the
regional. "I don't consider us the favor
ite. Maine and Connecticut are playing
in their backyards, and Rutgers is from
up there also."
Carolina has met the Rutgers Scarlet
Knights nine times, winning seven of
the meetings. The Scarlet Knights are
paced by shortstop Ted Ciesla and
outfielder Angel Echevarria.

RALEIGH N.C. State guard
Chris Corchiani will stay with the
Wolfpack for his senior year, a news
paper reported today.
Corchiani had said he wouldn't
stay at the university because he didn't
like the way the school administration
handled the departure of former coach
Jim Valvano.
Corchiani was to announce his deci
sion later today at a news conference,
The News and Observer of Raleigh
reported.
Had he transferred to another
school, Corchiani would have had to
sit out next season under NCAA rules.
He led the Wolfpack in assists,
steals and free-throw percentage as a
junior and averaged 13.1 points per
game.

UNC needs quality starts from pitcher Jim Dougherty in NCAA tourney
average and had game winning RBIs in
seven of Rutgers' wins. Echevarria hit
.322 for the year and led the Scarlet
Knights in home runs and RBIs (8-40).
The Scarlet Knights are expected to
send Darrin Kotch to the mound against
the Heels. Kotch has a 7-3 record this
year with a 3.45 earned run average. He
is the Knights hardest thrower and leads
the team in strikeouts (67).
The Tar Heels starting pitcher was
not known at press time.

From Associated Press reports
ATLANTA Bob Weiss appar
ently is the coach that fits the needs of
the Atlanta Hawks someone the
players can relate to.
Weiss, who earned a reputation as a
"players coach" while being an assis
tant coach and spending two years at
the helm of the San Antonio Spurs, on
Tuesday was named head coach of the
Hawks.
The Hawks, a team that had plenty of
talent but wound up at 41-41 this past
season, missed the playoffs for the first
time since 1 985 under fiery coach Mike
Fratello, who resigned April 23 after
seven years with Atlanta.
When Fratello left, president Stan
Kasten and general manager Pete
Babcock each said the Hawks would
seek a different type coach than the
emotional Fratello, who often shouted
at players and referees alike.
"We interviewed four people" for
the job, Babcock said at a news confer
ence in which Weiss was officially
welcomed into the Hawks' family,
agreeing to a three-year contract.
"Bobby was the right person.
"He had the edge in people skills,
one-on-one with individuals, and basketball-wise
he's sound. He's on the
same page with what we want to do
here."
Weiss won only 59 of 164 games in
two seasons as head coach at San Anto
nio before being fired after the 1988
season, but had an aging team in his
first season, then a club that took on a
youth movement his next season.
Kasten, in announcing Weiss at a
news conference at the Omni, said he
was "very, very confident that this is
the right choice for this team at this
time."
"I don't think we have a process of
rebuilding here," Babcock said. "It's
more one of refining, particularly the
chemistry, and I think hiring Bobby is
the first step."
Weiss, an assistant coach last season
with the Orlando Magic, acknowledged
that he probably was a "players coach,"
and said he does not favor any one
particular brand of basketball.
"My style is to coach what the play
ers can do and allow them to do it," he
said.
"I don't have a set style. The system
I like best is an uptempo system and I
believe the talent to play this type of
game is here.
Tuition p1
time charge with the provision that it is
just one time." Vinik said he has seen
one-time charges turn into annual
charges, and he doesn't want to see that
happen in this situation.
Vinik also said a tuition increase is
something the executive branch will
vigorously oppose. He added, "vigor
ous opposition is an understatement."
The state legislature increased tui
tion 20 for in-state students and 15
for out-of-state students last summer
while most students were out of town,
and Vinik said he doesn't want to see
that happen again.
Vinik said he didn't know how the
governor's administration thinks it can
fulfill its role of educating the public
with repeated tuition hikes. He added it
was unfair to keep asking students to
shell out more money for something
that wouldn't necessarily affect them.

There are some great open court
players here and we hope to take advan
tage of that."
It will be Weiss' job to mold the
Hawks into more of a team concept
with a roster that includes superstars
Dominique Wilkins and Moses Malone.
"I'm interested in talking to both of
them. Both have nothing to prove stat
wise, so I think they're ready to focus
on winning," he said.
"I've talked to several people about
Moses, but I'm not going to go public,
good or bad. Some didn't have good
experiences with him.
Others said they'd take him in a trade" ;
anytime," Weiss said.
As for Fratello, Weiss pointed out
that, "first of all, I'm a Mike Fratello. :
fan. I'm not sure what went wrong here. -Maybe
it was a coach's version of the-;"
seven-year itch. Maybe the players and
the coach just needed a change."
Weiss played guard for 12 years int
the NBA with six different teams, retir-
ing in 1977. He also was an assistant
coach with the San Diego Clippers and
Dallas before his head coaching job
with San Antonio.
