Ed and Danny Manning: Like father, like son? Wednesday, August 31, 1983The Daily Tar Heel5 By MICHAEL PERSINGER . Danny Manning is in a difficult situation. He was sup posed to enter his senior year at Greensboro Page High School this week, touted as one of the top college basket ball prospects in the nation. But, after a decade in Greensboro, his father Ed packed up and moved to Lawrence, Kan., earlier this week to accept an assistant coaching position at the University of Kansas, and he's taking Danny and the rest of the family with him. The NCAA went to such trouble to take some of the pressure off high school athletes who are being recruited by colleges. It has limited the number of visits a prospect can make; it has limited the number of personal contacts by coaches; it has created "dead periods" when no re cruiting is allowed it has made an honest attempt to block all the back alleys in recruiting. The NCAA missed one. You have to admit that the Jayhawks' approach is a novel one. They went from not even being in Danny's top 16 to being a member of the seven-school group he is still considering, some think simply by offering his father one of three jobs on their staff: volunteer assistant coach, part-time assistant coach or full-time assistant coach. To sign him out from under the noses of such powers as UNC, Georgetown, N.C. State and Maryland would be a major coup. Danny might not notice much of a difference. He'll leave Page, a team he led to the state 4-A championship a year ago, and enroll at Lawrence High School, the only high school in a town of 60,000. Lawrence High, like Page, used a senior-dominated team to win the state title in Kansas' highest classification last year. And Danny says he will still be open minded as far as the seven schools he is still considering are concerned, adding that he thinks playing for his father might put some added pressure on him. "Coach (Larry) Brown will need to show me something I like about Kansas better than the others," Danny was quoted as saying. "I certainly don't want to rule out that I might come back to a college in the East." Brown, in the meantime, denies he has any reason for hiring Danny's father besides his coaching ability. "I know and Ed understands that a lot of people are going to speculate that there was an ulterior motive in hiring him," Brown said. "But I was interested in re cruiting Danny long before I began talking with Ed. Danny was the first prospect I contacted when I accepted this job last spring. My talks with Ed excluded any com mitment to Kansas for Danny." Still, it was a pretty sly way to get the previously eliminated Jayhawks back in the picture. It's not that Ed Manning is unqualified for the job. Ed played professional basketball for Brown with the Carolina Cougars of the old ABA in 1973-74 and was an assistant coach under Gene Littles at North Carolina A&T in Greensboro in 1979-80. Ed started looking to get back into coaching after triple-bypass heart surgery in December. He had worked for a trucking company in Stoneville. Ed chose a poor time to return to coaching, but there are any number of reasons for his return. His operation could have made his previous job difficult for him, or he could have gone back for the money, assuming he doesn't fill the volunteer job. Or, quite possibly, Ed could have made the move to get Danny away from a public that r-ild resent his signing with a non-North Carolina or non-ACC school, a la Dominique Wilkins. Danny may be ready to sign with such a school. At least one ACC school doesn't believe Manning will leave the conference. N.C. State assistant coach Ray Martin was quoted as saying that Danny is "one of those youngsters who was raised with ACC written across his chest, and maybe the move won't change that. "We're behind Danny 110 percent, and we want to maintain a relationship with him. If he was moving to the moon, I'd still wish him the best of luck." Whatever his reason, whatever his motive, Ed Mann ing has placed his son squarely in the spotlight of the re cruiting worldHe has put more pressure on Danny than is usually placed on a high school phenom and possible franchise player. In that light, the best thing for Danny Manning to do is verbally commit to one of the seven schools he is still considering, and the sooner the better. And a good sug gestion would be not to commit to Kansas, because to do so would be to invite an NCAA probe and possibly a change in the rules disallowing the hiring of coaches or relatives of high school athletes who are being recruited by more than one school. A rule like that would be unnecessary if everyone was like Mac Morris, Danny's coach at Page. Morris was also offered a job at a school that he declined to name, but he turned it down. "I told them I wouldn't even consider it until after Danny had graduated," Morris said, "because my in tegrity means a lot to me." Morris should be applauded for this attitude, and others should learn, or should have learned, from his example.

Food Service Corporation An Equal Opportunity Employer Lasorda given credit as Dodgers make move The Associated Press A shove from Tom Lasorda has pushed the Los Angeles Dodgers to the top of the National League West. "He really got us going," said pitch er Steve Howe, remembering a pep talk by the Dodger manager back on Aug. 10 in Cincinnati. "He's a great motivator." Since Lasorda held that closed-door meeting with his team, the Dodgers have won 13 of 15 games, including Monday night's twi-night sweep of the New York Mets. That gave the Dodgers a one-game lead over the Atlanta Braves, who dropped out of first place for the first time since July 4 after a Monday loss to Chicago. "To have made up so much ground in such a short period of time makes me really proud of this club," said Lasorda, whose team was as far back as 6'2 games on Aug. 13. "The Dodgers are like a stick of dynamite ready to explode," said Mets manager Frank Howard. "They still haven't hit the way I think they can. But now they're on a roll. I think it's going to be a dogfight, right down to the last day of the season again." For one game at least, Perm State has gone from the penthouse to the flophouse. Fresh from their first-ever national college football championship last Jan. 1 in a 27-23 Sugar Bowl win over Georgia, the Nittany Lions wore their crown for the first time on the field of battle Monday night. Embarrassing is putting it mildly. Devastating is more like it. The final score of the inaugural Kickof f Classic was Nebraska 44, Perm State 6. It wasn't that close, not until the final 20 seconds when Penn State scored to avert what would have been its first regular-season shutout in 17 years. The 38-point whipping matched the worst loss ever suffered by a Joe Paterno-coached team a 49-11 rout by UCLA in 1966 and left everyone wondering whether Nebraska, the No. 1-ranked team heading into the season, is that good or fourth-ranked Penn State is that bad. The answer probably lies somewhere in between. "I was kind of amazed at the way it went," said Nebraska coach Tom Osborne. "I don't think you can say the game was a true indication of the strength of Penn State or the strength of Nebraska. I think the thing snow balled. I'm still concerned because I'm not sure what the final score really means." N.C. State and Duke have agreed to change the date of their football game so it can be televised by the Turner Broadcasting System. The game, which will be shown over Atlanta cable station WTBS, was originally scheduled for Saturday, Nov. 12 in Wallace Wade Stadium, but will now be played Nov. 10 at 8:15 p.m. It will be the first night game at Duke. Portable lighting will be used for the game at a cost of $50,000. TBS, owned by Atlanta Braves base ball owner Ted Turner, will pay an estimated $475,000 for the Duke-N.C. State game. Duke and N.C. State will receive over $100,000, with the remainder be ing split among the other ACC schools. concert From page 1 If students approve a concert by way of a referen dum, the funds would probably have to be taken away from student organizations not guaranteed Student Ac tivity Fees under the Student Constitution, Exum said. Donald Boulton, vice chancellor for student affairs, said he has advised the last three student body presidents to let the Carolina Union organize any con certs on campus. "They might find it easier to let the pros do it," Boulton said. Union Director Howard Henry said Student Govern ment would be wise to drop the outdoor concert idea because unpredictable spring weather made such an in vestment too risky. The Union would probably not join in co-sponsoring such an event with Student Govern ment, he said. "We have enough problems already without getting involved in such a big risk," he said. Outdoor concerts, even a benefit such as last year's, event, cause friction between the University and the local community, Henry said. Until the early 1970s, the Union had organized "Jubilee," an outdoor concert held annually for Ifi years over a three-day period. But students on the Union Activities Board finally dropped Jubilee because it was too difficult to handle, Henry said. Major Coy Durham, assistant Chapel Hill police chief, said he's not sad to see the demise of outdoor concerts. Not only did concerts cause the police to work overtime, but also involved "too much drinking, too much drugs," he said. Alcohol was banned at the 1983 concert, but that didn't help much, Durham said. "There's no way to stop it," he said. The Carolina Concert for Children featured U-2, the Producers, Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five and Todd Rundgren. The concert was designed as a benefit for the Special Olympics, UNICEF and the Muscular Dystrophy Association, but in the end, there were no profits to distribute to the charities. .A WWLh M fjEr H B Compare Our Incredibly Low Prices!
