They becapie the first team to accomplish this feat since 1967 when Earl Monrow lead them to the NA1A championship. Gaines has his eye set on another NAIA crown. Last season. virtually the same team made it to the third round of the NA1A without the services of All-CIAA guard Tom Paulin, the team's top scorer, who was injured in the CIAA tourney.

VA Sournan THE WINSTON-SALEM CHI id Rams Vie Many fans say that the team has the greatest shooters in CIAA history but Gaines is quick to point out that his cagers are dead last in the conference in field goal percentage (40%). and near the botton in rebounding. The key to the team's success has been defense. The Rants have held their nnnnnpnfc to an aupraop of 7ft W|r |r waa VA f V points per game by playing excellent defense. The team is favored to take 0 the CIA A crown and has already clinched a berth in thei NA1A District 26 playoffs. They are the No. 2 ranked -black college team according the the Mutual Black Network Basketball poll. Gaines, who is also WSSU's Athletic Director and also a Health and Physical Education instructor, credits his success to his ability to get along with ?people?and? co-operation._ "When I came here the people were hungry to help any coach develop a successful program. Everyone was co? operative; sympathetic-and helpful." Gaines credits former WSSU Business Manager I.A. . Terrell with being the father of the school athletic program.

'"I've enjoyed working with everyone of them." As this season's team boarded a bus for Hampton one could see that special rapport the coach has with his players. They kidded "Bighouse" about his clothes, his hair and called him slow. One player .said, "Until practice or game time he's jsut one of the guys.
