Former Kings Mountain High
School basketiball coaoh. Boh
Hussey, has been naimed head
baskctbal'l coach at Belmont Ab-
bey College.
Hussey, who served, as an as
sistant at Appalachian while \
working on a master’s degree In ;
health and physical education, •
was named at a press conference j
in the Abbey Administration I
Building Friday aftemonn. |
The 31-year-old Hussey, who
coahhed Kings Mountain to a 65-i
7 record in three yeans, takes
over for Louie O’Gorman, who re.
signed several weeks ago to take
an assistant’s post at Western
Carolina wihilc working on a mas.
ter’s degree.
(Hussey won two conference
championships and finished • sec
ond once in his three years in
Kings Mountain. His 1967-68 team,
which featured All • American
George Adams, now at- Gaidner-
Webb, finished 25-1 and his final
KM team In 1809-70, which fea-!
tuired AH-Amerlcan Otis Cole, now
at Florida State, finlsKed 23-1.
In addition to running up the
enviable ba^etbail record, Hus
sey also coached two conference
championship baseball teams and
led the 1969 KM diamond crew
to the state 3-A championship.
“Coach Hus.s(’y ha.i^a tremend
ous coaching reroffT -at Kings
Mountain and wc feel very fortu
nate in having him with u.s at
Belmont Abbey," -Slid Athletic Di
rector Dr. Bill Wiliams, in intro
ducing Hussey to tin* crow l.
Father Bradley, president of the
Abbey, pointid out that the boanl
of trustiH'S, in screening for a
coach out of over 100 applicants,
sought a person Who was an ont-
•standing coach and who also liad
a master’s degree in plrysical ed
ucation.
In addition to coaching ba.sket-
ball, Hussey will also serve as an
instructor in the physical educa
tion department.
Hussey, who is married to the
former Sandra Wiggins of Kan-
naipolis and the father of two
boys, will inherTt a team which
won only four of 26 games last
season.
"My iimmeiliate plans are to
start work on recruiting," said
Hussey. "The style of play we use
will mainly be dictated by the
type erf personnel we can find be
tween now and the beginning of
school.”

are alivays a step above you. At
Ira.st I lliink TTley .should be in

my pursuit for the last few years.
Now I have the oppartunity. All
I have to do is prove myself.”
Hussey said he hopes to begin
a program at the Abbey which
will allow members of the stu
dent body to try out for the bas
ketball team.
“Any student in this scihool
will be given an opportunity to
play." he said. “Tliey won't be
limited just becaiVe they’re not
on scholaiship. 1 don’t know if
this has been done in the past
or not but I intend to do this
fully at tile beginning of the
stTiooI year.”
Hussey .said he also- wants to
recruit as many loctil player.s a.s
possible.
".Any time vou have local peo
pic on your squad you’re going
to create a gN'at deal erf enthus
iasm in your comimunity and the
.surrounding area.” b'e said. “And
we’ll definitely pursue every a-
vailablc prospeW in the area to

the utmost. If they’re capable
players and capable peoi-le we'll
pursue them”
Just as was his practice in higih
school, Hus.scy said He will dedi
cate himself to turning out finer
young men as well as good bas
ketball players.
“We want to win all the games
that we possibly can,” he said,
“but at the same time we want
to give the college something it
can be proud of. We don’t want
a bunoh of athletes who neva
graduate. We want to give Bid
mont Abbey some people that i
can be p.-oud of and also have
a basketball program that it can
be preud ol.”
Besides trying to catch up on
recruiting, Hussey’s ne>'> work or
der will be to mive his family
from Boone.
We're already looking for a
heuse," he said, ‘and tlie scxin-
er we get down here the better.
I feel like I’m at home in this
ar(*a. My family and I have lived
in Kings Mountain for several
years and we’ve played all the
team.s in this area. I hope I can
make my home here very soon.
"I’d also like to add,” he con
tinued. "that there gre many,
many fine people in this area
that have holiied me during my
coaching and teaching career. I
wouldn’t attempt to single out
anybody because there have been
so many. But I have the highest
