Sports Western Carolinian/December 10, 1981 II Kenny Trimer Jams It Waters Sees Advantages Last weekend, following a special convention in St. Louis, the NCAA announced its reconstruction plan that would remove the Southern Conference, MidAmerican, the Ivy League, the Southland Conference, the Missouri Valley Conference, and the Pacific Coast Athletic Association from the ranks of Division I-A football and place them in its I—AA Divisional classification. Bob Waters, Western Carolina University's Athletic Director and head football coach, is not alarmed at the thoughts of having his football program reclassified from Division I-A to Division I-AA. The reclassification would reduce the number of Division I-A schools to somewhere between 90 and 100. The reclassification in turn will increase the Division I-AA to somewhere between 65 and 90. The reclassification poses several advantages to Western and these advantages being: the new classification would allow Western a more realistic chance at post-season play. It will also limit Western's fellow conference members to 75 scholarships instead of 95 granted by Division I-A. This will narrow the big difference of the 50 scholarships that Western gives. The new classification could also boost the odds of Western appearing on television. (There were several NCAA Division 1-AA teams on cablevision ESPN). Coach Waters feels that if anything, the reclassification would help Western greatly and poses only one negative aspect; that is, the general public may think that Western is moving back to small college football and this in turn might hurt recruiting. Last week, the NCAA's Division I-AA playoffs began. The playoffs are single elimination with eight teams trying for the title. This year's eight include Eastern Kentucky, South Carolina State, Jackson State, Boise State, Tennessee State, Delaware, Rhode Island, and Idaho State, respectively. The final reconstructing package will be concluded in January at the annual NCAA Convention in Houston, Texas. Coach Waters also emphasized reconstructing plan applies only to football and will not affect WCU's other men's intercollegiate programs. b Ange|0 Grier Cats Compete in Classic Western Carolina's high flying basketball team flies westward this week for a taste of big time basketball in one of the nation's most prestigious tournaments. I he Catamounts, off to a 4-0 start, will be in Provo, Utah this weekend to play in Brigham Young University's Cougar Classic. Western will meet LaSalle, a perennial eastern power, in the tournament opener Friday evening at 9:00 P.M. (EST). Host Brigham Young, 15th ranked last week and an NCAA regional finalist last season, takes on Idaho State in Friday's second game. The championship game will be played Saturday at 11:00 P.M. (EST). Coach Steve Cottrell says he is anxious to see how his Catamounts will react against the strong competition before a crowd of 22.700 each night in BYU's Marriott Center. "This is the first time a Western Carolina team has played in a tournament of this stature," said Cottrell. "Win or lose, it is going to be a great experience for our program and is going to help our program as thisisoneof the top two or three tournaments in the nation." LaSalle, from Philadelphia's famed Big Five, has made 14 appearances in the NCAA's championship tournament. The Explorers are led by 7-1 center Tom Piotrowski and a pair of 6-9 forwards. Brent Hagwood and Albert Butts, They opened with a loss at Duke, but Have bounced back with wins over Delaware & Bucknell. "LaSalle has the first legitimate big time center we have faced," announced Cottrell in reference to Piotrowski. "They are very big up front and have a tremendous basketball tradition." The Explorers finished 14-1.1 last season and knocked off NCAA regional finalist St. Joseph's and Villanova and lost to Notre Dame by one and DcPaul by seven. Brigham Young, which made it all the way to the NCAA's Eastern Regional championship game last winter, defeated UCLA in Los Angeles two weeks ago, giving the Bruins their first season opening defeat since 1952. BYU, a perennial top ten team, finished 27-5 last season and has played in the NCAA tournament the last three seasons The Cougars have probably the biggest and fines) front lines in college basketball with 6-11 Greg Kite. 6-10 Fred Roberts and 6-8 Steve Irumbo. Last season, that trio combined for .18 points and 28 rebounds a game. "Brigham Young has an awesome front line...I just hope we get a chance to play them." said Cottrell. Unbeaten Idaho State fills out the tournament field. The Broncos from the Big Sky Conference come closer to resembling the Catamounts than the much taller LaSalle and Brigham Young teams. ISU is taller than the Catamounts with a 6-1 I. 6-7, 6-5 front line, but they rely on their perimeter players for the bulk of its offense. 6- 5 forward Byron Williams (19.7 ppg) and 6-4 1,2 guard Robert Tate (11.3 ppg) are the leading scorers. The Broncos upset highly regarded Santa Clara last week to push their record to 3-0. Brigham Young has won five of the seven Cougar Classics. LaSalle and BYU met in the 1979 championship game and the Cougars won in triple overtime. Turning to his own team, Cottrell says he is concerned and pleased at the same time with his Catamounts alter the opening four games. "Overall, 1 am pleased with our play thus far, especially our shooting. However," he quickly noted, "our intensity on defense has me worried as does our free throw shooting." Western, which has been the best free throw shooting team over the past two seasons in the Southern Conference, has slipped to a 72% reading this season. The Catamounts have averaged 95.5 points per game and have out rebounded the opposition by 18 rebounds per game in romps over Methodist (103-69), Averett (104-51), UNC— Greensboro (91-57) and Maryland-Eastern Shore (84-59).
