Croon has vowed to his play

that seems to be the require

He simply wants his team to
he accepted and respec ted by
basketball fans
Croon has not taken Oregon's
"have you heard the one about
the Ducks'' reputation lightly
He made a valiant attempt to
resurret t interest in the Ducks
before practii a even began
when he risked a no-show em
barrassment by having “Late
Night with Jerry Croon," on
Halloween night Although
only t.O(H) people showed up
at tO,000 seat Mac Court that
night, it at least showed that
people were interested in see
ing what was up
Oregon fans got their first
looks at Croon's style of play in
two exhibition games in No
vombor Although the Ducks
played two teams that were far
from F’acific-10 Conference
caliber, they won both games
and averaged 94 5 points a
game Oregon even scored 100
[joints in one game
Green's first priority is to
make Oregon basketball excit
ing again Last season, the
Ducks had their second-worst
home attendance figure in 20
years.
That had as much to do with
Oregon's style of play as it did
its record Under Monson. it
seemed as though the Ducks
conceded defeat every time
they took the court. They
would play slow-down basket
ball hoping to lull their oppo

The new system under Green
is simple:

Green is going to have his
team running whether they're
playing Athletes in Action or
Michigan Although this ap
proach may result in some
high-scoring losses, at least the
games will be exciting.
