Iik>- l.tbbon, lomoani! who did
so many tilings for this pro
gram. that's a lot of slack to
make up," Rico said
Understanding this very fact,
Monson added Guajardo to his
staff
Guajardo Is no stranger to
Monson or the Oregon basket
ball program Since playing for
Monson at I’usco (Wash j High
School. Guajardo could be
found many summers at McAr
thur Court helping out with
youth summer camps
"Guajardo U one of the most
loyal players I’ve ever
coached," Monson said "So
when hit asked to try his hand
at this level. I was more than
happy to help."
Guajardo s c uriosity of col
lege' coaching comes after a
long and successful stint as the
liead coat h of his j>rep alma
mater Since becoming Pasco
head touch in 19H1, Guajardo
led his team to five Columbia
Basin Big-Nine league titles ami
was named league couch of the
year three times for his efforts.
Guajardo's role as a graduate
assistant deals primarily with
scouting reports and films, but
both he and Monson agree Gua
jardo's status will change.
"As I become more familiar
with this level, my responsibili
ties will probably increase,"
Guajardo said
"He's more than your typical
G A ," Munson said "Ho al
ready knows my style of couch

Hopefully for Oregon, the
coaches' experience will be
enough to balance out with the
players' inexperience
