NCAA Champion LaSalle's Coach
Ken Loef ler Gets Much Praise
Opposing Coaches Laud
Functioning Os LaSalle
By JOHN GRIFFIN
(United Press Sports Writer)
NEW YORK (IP) Scholarly,
jovial Ken Loeffler, coach of those
amazing LaSalle Explorers who
stunned experts and NCAA alike
by winning the National Invitation
basketball tournament, was show
ered with praise today for his art
ful coaching.
And Loeffler, in turn, credited
the surprise triumph to—“A bunch
of skinny kids and a flash-pivot
offense.”
Loeffler was greatly overlooked
while the Explorers were sweeping
through four of the toughest teams
in the nation, led by frosh whiz
Tom Gola and “whirling dervish”
Norm Grekin to gain a place in the
Olympic tryouts, starting March
29. Gola and Grekin were jointly
voted the “Most Valuable Player”
award.
But as coaches and experts siz
ed up LaSalle’s triumph they paid
the greatest amount of praise to
the red-faced little man in the
brown suit.
ENCORE ON PRAISE
“They were beautifully coacn
ed,” admitted Coach Tom Black-

Last year's squad won 20 and

to win the doubles title.

the title game to LaSalle, 75-64, on
Saturday. “They knew how to take
andvanage of every opportunity.”
Blackburn’s words were an echo
of the moan of Coach Dudey Moore
after his top-seeded Duquesne team
was routed by LaSalle in the semi
final—“ They only had one advant
age over us, a height edge in the
third man, but they Knew how to
exploit it perfectly.”
To all this praise, Loeffler re
sponded with a modest tribute to
"the greatest college team level
coached.” He pointed out that his
players’ “skinniness' gave them
speed that paid off in rebounds and
loose balls.
Then he elaborated on his new
fangled idea of a basketball at
tack, which may revolutionize the
present coaching method. The sys
tem was perfectly shown in the
finale, as the Explorers scored
consistenly while bottling up Day
ton's high-scoring pivot man, six
foot, seven-inch Don Meineke.

I plains Loeffler. “That means he
remains more or less stationary.
| We don’t like to do that, because
there are too many ways such an
attack can be stopped.”
The Explorers stopped “Power
Tower” Meineke by collapsing a
round him on defense. The Flyers
simply couldn't get a pass through
to big Don, and unfortunately for
them, they kept trying and trying
—and losing the ball.
“No,” said Loefeller. “Instead we
like to play a 'flash pivot.’ That
means each of our men slides
through the pivot post for just a
few seconds. We get more scoring
opportunities that way and find
it’s much harder to stop.”
When asked if rtiany other teams
use this system, Loeffler answered
with a twinkle. “No, but I think
they will when they see the success I
we have had with it.”
