10The Daily Tar HeelFriday, December 9, 1988 Sports Sorti ng out the detai Is of the ibt In the aftermath of the departure sof UNC football's Disgruntled JDozen, the natural follow-up ques '.' lion is this: What does it all mean? -is On the surface, the whole situation would seem to be no big deal. That's .certainly how Mack Brown and his coaching staff are treating last week's 'mass exodus." vrL Sure, they point out, the Tar Heels lost 12 scholarship players who were u expected to be on next year's roster, . but only three or four of the departees would have played a great deal, -moreover, they maintain, seven of the H2 were potential fifth-year seniors Ylwho, after redshirting as freshmen, simply decided to graduate on time with their class rather than linger on -.campus for a fourth year of athletic oglory. "t; ' To hear Brown tell it, Dan Voole tich, Victor Bullock, Chuck Sledge, -Bill Franklin, Richard Applebaum, ---Phillip Cheek and Steve Lowe repres ent what college athletics are sup posed to be all about. They stayed ..with the team for four years and now, ! confronted with the reality that an ! NFL career will never be theirs, are 1 prepared to get started in the job rf'Jrunt. To a man, the Studious Seven have denied being pressured in any way UNC shooting fast, winnin The J.R. Reid-less Tar Heel bas ketball squad is sitting on a 7-1 record going into Saturday's game in Greensboro against the Richmond Spiders. That fast start has surprised, among others, the UNC coach himself. "I'm ecstatic about the record; I mean, I never dreamed we'd be this way, even with J.R.," Dean Smith said after Wednesday night's win over Vanderbilt. North Carolina's early-season performance is even more impressive when one considers the strength of the Tar Heel schedule only two of the eight games thus far have been against opponents who did not participate in last year's NCAA Tournament. Furthermore, those two non NCAA participants, Georgia and Stanford, are not the patsies like Coppin State, Hofstra, or Maryland Eastern Shore that populate other ACC teams' non-conference slates " ' ' - North Carolina's new faster-paced offense has been the subject , of numerous newspaper columns and barber shop ' discussions. This new style may be stirring up some excite ment among UNC fans, but the statistical impact on UNC's offensive punch is minimal. North Carolina's offense is producing an average of 91 points a game, while last year's team tallied 87.5 points an outing through DTH Picks If you think we're going to open ! this thing up by writing some cute j thing about Christmas, think again.

Instead, they claim, the wear and tear of this year's 1-10 football season, combined with a desire to get on with life in the "real world," compelled them to end their playing careers. As for the other five who quit, well, as Brown will unfailingly remind you, there's not a college football team in the country where every player is pleased with his playing time. Those who watch from the sidelines think they deserve an on-field chance, while those who play , some think they deserve a spot in the starting lineup. Thinking along these lines are Brian Vooletich (Dan's younger brother), Brad Smith, Jay Palmisano, Dave Wolfe and Freddy Renken. The first three would have been stuck in the backfield once again behind such standouts as Kennard Martin, Torin Dora, Aaron Staples and the bullish Michael Benefield. Playing time would have been scarce for them next year, anyway. Brown has not seemed particularly Eric Wagnon Staff Writer the first eight games. . Smith harped on the point in the preseason that his. team would "turn it up a notch" and take the first good shot available. One statistic seems to bear Smith's claim out: Last year, North Carolina took a shot once every 44 seconds, while this year's squad has attempted a shot every 36 seconds .... Although he was concerned about his team's shot selection, Smith praised the team's performance on the defensive end of the floor, saying this year's more experienced team is continuing the progress made in the second half of last year. "The defense was the turning point," Smith said following the Vanderbilt victory. "Thank heavens we've had defense the last two games. Against Missouri, we were shooting 40 percent and still win big because of our defense . . . ." Vanderbilt could manage to even attempt only a single baseline jumper until Commodore center Frank Kornet's dunk finally lit up the visiting side of the scoreboard with 16:31 left. Kornet's slam set off a dunk-fest of the Week vaganza, Mike (I'm not angry, just tired, dammit!) Berardino leads Andy (To Catch A Thief) Podolsky by just one game. Of course, with 17 bowl games, Dave (I'm not cocky, just confident) Glenn and Chris (Kringle) Spencer, who could spend his New Year's Day in New Orleans, can still sneak in there. Berardino, a remarkable talent who has been atop the standings all year long, is looking for an unprece dented second DTH title in three years, while the upstart Podolsky is trying to derail The Boss Champion ship Express.

"There's usually a high turnover ratio in a transition situation," he said Tuesday. "It usually happens right when you come in. We were lucky we have not had many young people leave. But when you change the offense, change the defense, change the personalities of every coach who recruited these young people, it's hard for them." Indeed, therein may lie the rub. Aside from the group of Tar Heels who were first-timers in Chapel Hill last year, the rest of the team was recruited by former UNC coach Dick Crum. The one-year changeover was quite drastic, to say the least. Crum, now the head man at Kent State, believed in running the football down opposing team's throats. When this philosophy worked, as it did early in his tenure at UNC, no one com plained. When it failed, as it did in the latter part of his decade at the helm, he was called too conservative. Last December Brown succeeded Crum and immediately began prom ising a" more exciting brand of football. Why, the Tar Heel offense even installed the option as part of g big for the game. Vanderbilt connected on 33 shots, and nearly a fourth of that total came from slamming home eight rim-rattlers. UNC forward Kevin Madden responded with three slams of his own, while Scott Williams dunked off an assist from Lebo and Steve Bucknall took the ball coast to coast, on a steal and jam .... Senior guard Jeff Lebo is trying to make the most of his last year as a. Tar Heel. In UNC's first game against Tennessee-Chattanooga, Lebo secured a place in the record books with 17 assists. Currently at 1,299 career points, Lebo, out of Carlisle, Pa., has moved into 19th place on North Carolina's alRime scoring list, surpassing fellow Pennsylvania!! George Karl's total of 1,293 points. Lebo's 25-point outing against Vanderbilt, which positioned Lebo ahead of Karl, was his third 20-point performancethis season including ". a career-high 29 against Indiana .... Along with Lebo's offensive pro duction, Madden has emerged as an inside offensive threat leading the Tar Heels this year in scoring, with 19 points per game. As a sophomore playing primarily at the big guard position, Madden, of Staunton, Va., averaged just 8.6 points a game. Madden has picked up some of the scoring slack left by Reid's injury, but Negotiations end; Padres sign Hurst From Associated Press reports ATLANTA Bruce Hurst took geography over money Thursday when the free agent left-hander signed a three-year, $5.25 million deal with the San Diego Padres. "For me and my family, San Diego was the place we wanted to go," Hurst said in a conference call. The signing ended an intense megabuck battle with California and Boston for one of baseball's best pitchers. With the Red Sox last season, Hurst was 18-6 with a 3.66 earned run average. Hurst, who got a $400,000 signing bonus, will earn $1.6 million in 1989, $1.5 million in 1990 and $1.75 million' in 1991. "Bruce is a quality pitcher and will only have a positive influence on the Padres," San Diego field manager and general manager Jack McKeon said. The Angels and Red Sox had each offered Hurst $5.5 million for three years. "We made every effort to sign Bruce Hurst," Boston vice president Lou Gorman said. "His family and the health of his mother was a major, major factor." Hurst, whose mother lives in Utah, said being closer to his family was a factor but not an overriding one. 2 r Ctannls OualdJasclea Lanf Everybody's All American Shows Nightly 7:00 9:30 (") Sat & Sun Matinee 2:00 4:30 AMY IRVING CROSSING DELANCY Nightly 7:159dL5 (PG) K sat a sun Matinee z:iba:i5 Lena ucroro i imc Nightly 7:00 8:45 (G) Sat & Sun Matinee 2:00 4:00 r a it mm ft footbal its attack. And On defense, UNC was playing more, man-to-man than ever, moving the "speed" guys ahead of the slow afoot on the depth chart. But overhauling an entire football team's philosophy cart take time, as evidenced by the Tar Heels' lousy start. By the middle of the season, Brown had given in to tradition, changing back to the power game, running off tackle until it hurt and tasting considerably more success playing Crum-ball. "That's what everyone here was recruited for," Wolfe said. "The offensive line had been working on the same blocking schemes for years. Then (line) coach (Monk) Tomlinson came in and changed some things around, and it took them a little longer to get used to than I think the coaching staff expected." Despite the new staffs remarkable enthusiasm from the start, Wolfe said he sensed that there might be some problems adjusting to an entirely new style of football. "(Speed) is one of their big things," Wolfe said. "Some guys are power coaches. These guys are quickness and speed coaches. The old coaches used to run right at you. These guys want to run around you." sans J.R. Smith plans to use the versatile 6 4 Madden inside even after Reid returns to the lineup. "We planned to have Madden from last April to go back to the frontline," Smith said. "We have three front court positions and two backcourt, so hell just stay up there in the frontcourt. "With J.R. (Reid), we didn't really post (Madden) up. But we made that decision last summer, we aren't going to just look for J.R. like we did last year, so that's why when (Reid) was injured, we didn't have to make any wholesale changes . . . ." North Carolina's fast start could be attributed in part to a schedule which places the Tar Heels on a neutral court or the floor of the Smith Center for their first 10 games. However, the atmosphere has been slightly different in the Smith Center this year. Traditionally, every home game draws a capacity crowd of 21,444, but thisx season's average , attendance is only 13,832. This average, was adversely affected by the two Big Apple NIT games not included in the season-ticket package or student distribution which left over half the Smith Center's seats empty.

After all, the one common denom inator among allx 12 players would seem to be a lack of pure speed. "I think you Ye got to have speed guys on every team," Brian Vooletich said. "But I think effort can make up for a lack of speed.. There's no doubt about that. If you're a tad slow, but you're a smart player, and give good effort, you can play. "My brother's a prime example of that. Dan's not the fastest guy in the world but he knows where he has to be and he can make up for that by being football smart. There's definitely a difference between speed and quickness." So, too, is there a difference between a full-scale mutiny and a minor skirmish.
