Hill finds coaching high school ball challenging
By Craig Harris
(M th* Kmorald
March 15,1984: Dehaven Hill is part of
a lion Monson staff that has helped turn
the Oregon men's basketball program
around. After a dismal pre-season predic
tion. the Ducks have surged to IH-13 and
are hosting Santa Clara in the first round
of the National Invitational Tournament.
Eeb. 19, 1986: Only two seasons later.
Hill has left the confines of McArthur
Court and Monson’s program and travel
ed to the outskirts of Eugene to take the
reigns of a struggling Marist High School
basketball program.
Why would someone jump ship from a
Pacific-10 Conference program to coach
at a AA-size high school? Hill’s answer is
rather simple.
"I just couldn’t be an assistant coach
forever, and I wanted my own program."
he says.
- And there were other factors that lured
him to Marist. "It is a lot easier to go into
a school without a strong program and
have a lot of big expectations put upon
you, and there is also a° lot less stress,
"On the AA.or AAA (size school) mat-”
. ter. it’s not that big of an ego thing for
me.. 1 also like the Eugene area, and I
wanted to stay here if I could.".Hill adds.
To say the Marist program is merely
struggling would be an understatement.
Before Hill took the reigns, the Spartans.
1UH4-85 record was 3-18.
Now, with two-thirds of the season
already gone, the Spans still are in the
cellar of the Sky-Em league but have pro
■ grossed their record to 5-11 already"
doubling their win total over iast year.
.Although a dramatic turnaround
doesn't seem to be in the making for f|iH,
his -spirits remain high. "I'm not
• frustrated with the win-loss record What
I try to tell the. kids is winning isn't the
only thing. We talk about playing good:
basketball, apd the wins will.come.”..
* The wins that .Hill hopes ate'feist '
. around, the comer for his squad, -used to
. be wins-that came, year after year for . the ,
Marist program. Marlst once was feared
in the AA basketball ranks, winning state
AA toy’s basketball championships in
1978. 1979 and 1982.
But for now, Hill plans on going back
to the basics, hoping to turn the progrom
around. And that all starts with
fundamentals.
“We want to develop a program to
teach kids good basketball fundamentals.
Along with this, we are going to have an
open gym in the spring and have a camp
this summer
"We need to develop basketball Into a
spring and summer program, and we
need to put time in during the off-season.
This is something that has not been done
in the past, and it needs to be
established “
for the time being. Hill says. Marist is
his “number one concern." but indicates
he wouldn’t mind getting back into the
college ranks. “ . . .1 would like a junior
college or a community college job that
would challenge my stability as a coach.
But for now. I want.to just enjoy basket
toll, no matter what level I'm at."
He also takes tome time to talk about
the current situation the Oregon men's
basketball' team. With an 8-15 record
overall and 3-10.in the Pae-to. the Ducks
are in the bottom . spo) in their
conference.
As with the- Spartans, he feels things
may be on .the upswing .for his former
cohorts ■••*.: .’v" . • '.

■ . But, Hill ..adds that the recen^ problems
may partially be in thi; high expectations
(hat have been placed oh (he players. “laist
year with Biair (Rasmussen) there wasn't as
much pressure on the perimeter, and they
were stronger inside.
. ..,."pveri though Anthony and Rick are
good Par-10 guards. I think the expecta
tions that were put upon them were very
high/'*
Then again, pressure to turn Marist into
an immediate contender isn’t nearly as high
as pressure in the Pac-10 for Hill.
.•"Most of the community and-the parents
are. pleased because we are developing a
program in a positive way. What it boils
down to is organization. There is no
pressure now, but if we were to get off to a
good start next year some people may get
high expectations.” .
And if Hills* organization and fundamen
tals begin to prosper, lofty expectations
could turn into big realities for the Marist
Spartans.

Buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz. buzz. buzz, .tlfek It's 8
a.m. and time for some music. Neil'Young sup; would

and electrical distortion. He talks so stmight andlets•

I take a peak outside and spy on the waiting condi:
tions. There's still evidence of old footprints in-.4b°e
snow; it hasn't snowed for quite a spell. The.dabin is
chilly this morning. I start a fire, I had better get.into
my uniform.

By Scott Schauer
I usually keep my hat. gloves, goggles, and glasses
in a utility bag. Today, I find them in my IkhU bag. .
After I eat. I go put on my boots, but I can't find them
either. They should be in my boot bag; I find them
under my parka.
I'm almost ready to go. I can feel the excitement
build. My heart quickens and a permana.net smile for
the day is plastered on my face because in a few
minutes. I will be skiing down that mountain.
Attitude adjustment optional
Before I leave I run over my checklist. Hat. gloves,
skis, boots, poles, goggles, Chapstick lip balm and at
titude adjustment. Attitude is important. The adjust
ment is an optional activity.
Once outside with my equipment, it is important to
know how to carry it. There are two ways to do that.
One right way. and many variations of the wrong way.
I put my skis and poles together on one shoulder. I'm
careful of my tips so as not to hit anyone.
Also. I make sure my glasses are lower on my nose
to be able to wink at any pretty passersby. The boots
are buckled for warmth and less clinkage. I try to walk
like I know how, not like a duck or a wino.
As I get to the booth 1 see the ticket prices A ride on
the chair costs $2fi. that’s as steep as this mountain

Alas, I have to ride up on the chair with a six-year
old bdy. Not what I expected, blit he’s got a great spot
in line. •
The talk is easy and tint questions go something like
"How old are you? Where are you from? Shoot, it’s
cold!" And. of course, "do you have a sister my age?"
When we approach the unloading zone, we use (he
farewell line "have a good run."
Now comes the time for all good skiers to ski hard
and stay in control, or in mountain terms "shred
heavily." First. I check visibility and snow condi

I don’t see many gapers (slow, out of control skiers). I
spot them easily because they look like paralyzed

my face.

usually have problems here. I'd better slow down to
first gear. The gapers are falling like flies. This is
where slalom technique becomes important, dodging
between other skiers as if they were a slalom course.
I'm finally past the last gaper. I switch on cruise
control: my weight is centered on the front of my skis,
my arms at my side, knees are bent, and I’m smiling
uncomfortably once again. The chairlift comes into
sight. There is not much of a parade now.
Stopping is important. 1 could do a hookey stop and
spray snow all over or just use common courtesy and
slowdown to a nice stop.
“Single!" No one is sinlge now. 1 slide over to the
loading zone and get on. Alone, the ride seems to take
forever. Maybe this time. I'll use a longer, wider run.
If I see a good skier under the chair. I usually yell
