Sports— Avoid same mistakes in 1992 By Ian Craig The United States men's bas ketball team will return from Seoul, not as heroes for captur ing the bronze medal they will assuredly win, but as an cmbar -Commentary_ rassing reminder of how poorly our recent international efforts have been. After being beaten convincing ly by the Soviets, many people feel we should be allowed to put our best players forward and al low our NBA players to com pete. But do we really need to send Magic Johnson, Larry Bird, and Michael Jordan to Barcelona in 1992 to uphold our national pride? I don't think so. A coach who has international experience and can select the right personnel could take our best college play ers and easily win the gold again. The dimensions and rules of the international game arc geared toward big, physical players and good outside shoot ers. Olympic Coach John Thompson avoided selecting these types of players, preferring lean, very athletic players that fit his personal style and that he uses so effectively at George town. But we're talking Big Red, not Big East. Leaving All-Ameri cans such as Steve Kerr, Scan El liot and Jerome Lane off of his fi nal roster was proof that Thomp son did not consider outside shooting, outstanding versatility and rebounding top priorities. I wonder, as Arvidas Sab onis, the hulking Russian center and Blazer draft choice, was out muscling the twin twigs of team USA, David Robinson and Charles Smith, if Thompson was not realizing his mistake. It also appeared that Thomp son's prison-like isolation of his players from the press and other outside influences only made them more jittery. Thompson's actions have been proven to suc ceed at the college level but were inappropriate for our national team. Coach-turned-commentator A1 McGuire has said the U.S. Olym pic Coach faces a no-win situa tion; everyone expects the gold and he is branded a loser if the team falls short. Let the bronze medal that John Thompson will \i | It*"™** 'ife. 5 Pac-10 Pigskin Prognostications EDITORS NOTE: Predictions are based on anticpated point-spread as determined by indi vidual voters.
