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" . • '. , “I think ii will get U-tl.-i for Oregon OHM thing they nee hup, huj>^hup,gapers: just another average day of skiing o • . ° *.°C * • • Buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz. buzz. buzz, .tlfek It's 8 a.m. and time for some music.

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.

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 tions. Now, I check my equipment and my conditions I don’t see many gapers (slow, out of control skiers). I spot them easily because they look like paralyzed Gumbys on skis. Hup, hup, hup OK. 1 ait's go Hup. hup. Imp means control, con trol. control. I say hup a lot. but a smile is always on my face. Now I can see the bottleneck part of the run.

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.
