ACC coaches endorse Durham
park as baseball tournament site
The Associated Press
DURHAM With only two votes
against it, six baseball coaches in the
ACC have voted to recommend that
the league's annual tournament return
to Durham Athletic Park in 1985.
The recommendation will be taken
to the conference athletic directors for
a vote at the annual meeting in May.
North Carolina coach Mike Roberts,
whose team won this year's tourna
ment, and Georgia Tech coach Jim
Morris cast dissenting votes.
Roberts and Morris wanted the
tournament at their schools.
"The ADs usually take our recom
mendation," Duke coach Tom
D'Armi said. "We think it was a
tremendous success this year."
The tournament was held away
from a campus site for the first time in
its 11 -year history. Nearly 12,000 peo
ple attended the fourday event, with
an announced crowd of 4,000 for Fri
day's winner's bracket final between
North Carolina and North Carolina
State.
The Durham Bulls, which hosted
the tournament, had promised the
leaeue $6,000 nhis 60 percent of artv
profits above that figure.
Durham Bulls' president Miles
Wolff said he had not determined
what amount the club would pay the
ACC, but estimated it would . be
around $12,000.
Wolff was seeking a three-year con
tract from the ACC to host the tour
nament beginning next year. The
coaches voted to return the tourna
ment to Durham for only one more
year.
"At this time, we thought we would
go with a one-year recommendation,"
D'Armi said. "We. though we could
look at the thing one more year. After
next year, we would discuss a long
term deal for Miles' benefit."
Wolff said he has softened his
stance about selling beer at the tourna
ment. League athletic directors denied
Wolff permission to sell beer at this
year's tournament.
"I think I would ask to go into it
slowly," Wolff said. "I think we
would want to sell it only for night ses
sions." Wolff said he feared fans would
purchase beer and drink it throughout
the day if it was available.
McCann, Brown enjoyed
trials, gained experience

Michael Jordan and Sam Perkins will
likely lead a U.S. Olympic basketball
team into Los Angeles this summer. Tresa
Brown and Eileen McCann will not. Jor
dan and Perkins were close to shoe-ins
from the outset; Brown and McCann
were, as the latter concluded, "longshots
at best" to make Tennessee coach Pat
Summitt's women's Olympic team.
So why did UNC's senior duo bother
attending the Olympic trials last weekend
at Colorado Springs? Tlje invitation was
certainly flattering, for only 107 players
were asked to attend.
"Tree and I had a better chance of get
ting hit by lightning than making the
Olympic team," McCann said. "(Yet) the
trials were a great experience. I learned I
can play with the best players in the coun
try. I had been a little skeptical going out
there." .
Brown, who also tried out for the 1980
team as a high school senior, accepted
that the odds were stacked against her
even though she was the ACC's player of
the year for 1984.
"Tree had a helluva year," McCann
said. "She was a Kodak All-America.
Unfortunately there were a lot of Kodak
All-Americas who got cut."
Normally a center, Brown saw all the
size in the middle and tried out as a wing.
"It was fun to participate against all
the names you see," Brown said. "I en
joyed the trip and was pleased with the1
way 1 performed. Overall, I felt my
chances were pretty slim."
Slinf wasn't the word to describe the
ACC's chance at placing a player on the
squad; none of the league's athletes were
selected. Brown said she was somewhat
surprised by that, since N.C. State coach
Kay Yow is Summitt's assistant.
McCann said she doubted Summitt had
the team picked before the trial. "(But)
she (Summitt) knew what she was looking
for," McCann said.
"1 think I should have made one more
cut on the basis of hustle," said Mc
Cann, who was cut along with Brown
when the roster was narrowed to 37 Mon
day. "My evaluation at the end read 'no
one works harder,' " McCann said.
"They said I was the wrong size (5-9) for
the wing. Six-footers (like Brown) were
playing out there."
Southern Cal's Cheryl Miller impressed
McCann most of all the great players at
the trial.
"She's 6-3, dribbling through her legs,
leading fast breaks!"
Brown favored former Kansas star,
Lynette Woodard.
"She was so very much in shape,"
Brcvvn said. "Watching her inspired
McCann was inspired by the presence
of her father, Brendan McCann, a . one
time New York Knick. . n:
"I was real glad my dad had a chance
"to go out there," she said. "Anytime
your kid is invited to the Olympic team,
you gotta feel good.'.'
