  • 20 CAROLINIAN SPORTS March 15,2000 Need NCAA Tournament Advice, Call Me... David by David Bartholomew Asst. Sports Editor The real basketball season is upon us now and I am here to take you through your office/fraternity/espn.com/indoor/ outdoor pool. Before I bestow a little of my massive knowledge I suppose I should pick a nickname. It seems I am alone in the Sports pages without one. So let me see, there is Super Dave the MAN with really nice teeth who likes pie. That's really hip, maybe too much so. Big Daddy Dave? Much too close to a former GM I know. Dave Your Fave? While perhaps true, it's just not quite right. Maybe this nickname business just isn't for me. I wonder if any other writers have made it through without a nickname. Fighting Frank Deford, Dazzling Dave Kindrid, and Pistol Peter Gammons sure needed one. I guess I'll just try David. Now on to the only thing more important than nicknames, the 2000 NCAA Tournament. This year's tournament is wide open. Only three or four teams have no shot of winning a first round game. If Lamar, Jackson State, South Carolina State, Northern Arizona, and North Carolina win a game my bracket could be fried. Now the seeding is done and there is no point in complaining. I will complain anyway. How can the ACC be disre spected with only three teams. I agree the ACC is down, but only at the top. Bascically Duke and Maryland are at the head of the class. There are very little differences between Virginia, North Carolina, North Carolina State, and Wake Forest. All four of these teams have been ranked, and only conference slip-ups caused their demise. So let me get this straight, competed ve conference play makes for a weak conference overall. 9-7 in the ACC should get a bid. The Wolfpack and Deacons also deserve much better —just look at what the Deacs did to Vanderbilt Tuesday night in round one of the NIT. I guess the Big 10 was so dominant beating up on each other, that the committe had to ignore the ACC destruction of the the Big 10 in the pre-season. Anyway, here is my fortune for each of the regions. EAST Duke really deserved better than this. Matchup problems exist throughout the bracket for the Blue Devils. Neither DePaul nor Kansas will get Duke, but watch out for Illinois, if they get by Flordia. I still think Duke is the team to beat in the east. The General's Indiana squad could be dangerous. Knight has more talent in Bloomington than he has had in a long time. Seton Hall could give Temple problems if the Pirates get by Oregon. Also, my grandfather used to say "Never take your eyes of a flying dutchman," (Hofstra) f\ (1 if I M * C so keep tnat in mind when filling out the east. SOUTH North Carolina fans, forget it. This team is not capable of beating Stanford. If the Heels shoot really well, Mizzou is a possible W, but I wouldn't bet on it. Save some dignity and pick 'em to go out early, and if they surprise, you can be a true Tarheel and claim you knew it all along. Also, why in the $%@* is UNLV in this tournament? Maybe you should ask rebel booster - I mean, committee chairman Craig Thompson - of the rebel's conference. I like Ohio State to come out of the region, if they can get by the Mighty Mountaineers and the Buzz. The Buckeye's draw should not test them until the regional finals. Utah State might knock off UConn. WEST This could be the upset bracket. I'd like Texas to upset LSU and Arizona, but I can't defend it too well, so you might wanna go with the favorites. Arizona could be the first #1 to fall. Dayton will beat Purdue. Wintrop could test Oklahoma. Gonzaga is there, and so is the Shark. Regardless, St. John's is coming out of this region. The Red Storm look to make a long run. If you are not taking Duke or Michigan State, go with St. Johns. MIDWEST Everyone is picking Michigan State. There are plenty of reasons. However, I believe the only way to win one of these things is to risk it all. So simply pick Utah to beat the Spartans. I know the Utes are down, but Rick will have them ready. UCLA might lose to Ball State or they might make a run. Helpful, aren't I? Take Iowa State to advance to Indianapolis. The Cyclones breezed through a very tough Big 12. Beside noone else is gonna bet on Iowa State. As for the Final Four, I like Duke to beat Ohio State, and St. Johns to beat Iowa State. The final will be close with Duke gaining a slight edge over the Big East this year. Good luck to everyone and enjoy the best sporting event this side of curling.

Guest Column Head Coach Dunn's Release Comes as no Surprise by Don Costello Guest Columnist It would be nice to say that WCU's release of Jill Dunn was a surprise and a shock to the program, the university and the athletic department. Unfortunately, it wasn't. As the Bardo admin-I- stration continues to roll its Head Wagon across campus, Jill Dunn became just another victim - a victim of another botched administrative hardball tactic. Dunn became a victim of Bardo's desire to axe those he did not like while Larry Travis was still in office. Larry Travis then becomes the scapegoat that won't be around much longer. The scenario: Bardo get an itching to fire a coach ... Larry Travis is leaving soon ... Then let's have Travis do the dirty work so the new A.D. will not enter the office with blood on the carpet ... We can pin it all on the outgoing A.D. ... Therefore, no traces of the incident will be in place when new A.D. Jeff Compher takes office ... Bardo's hand-picked A.D. is nice and shiny for public viewing. Speaking of Compher, let's look at his situation. The Asheville Citizen-Times reported that Compher said he was not involved in the decision to release Dunn. That statement by Compher says either one of two things: 1 - If Bardo truly didn't have his hands controlling this fiasco, then wouldn't it seem appropriate for Compher to make such an important decision? It would be Compher's role to assess his new program and make changes from his own evaluation. That's how a university should respect an incoming A.D. 2- What does this say about Compher's leadership if he didn't want to have any part of a major coaching change in his department? The first thing a new A.D. should say is "Don't Don Costello do anything, I'll handle it when I come in." If scenario #1 is correct, then Compher better be watching to make sure his back isn't stabbed by Bardo's politically wretched admin-I-stration. If scenario #2 is correct, then we can already begin ques tioning Compher's ability to lead an athletic program. It could also be a sign that Compher has already been pulled into Bardo's inner circle - a situation that will not be healthy for the athletic department. Dunn was also victimized by Western Carolina University going as far as to rename Coach Dunn the "interim" coach upon the firing. Covering the hiring of Jill Dunn in 1998, I approached various athletic department officials and two of them, including the Athletic Director, told me that the "interim" title had been removed. "Interim" did not appear alongside Dunn's name for the two seasons she was at the helm of the program. The WCU Athletics Web site makes no mention of her "interim" status. I would even venture as far as to say that Dunn's players had no knowledge of her continuing "interim" status. Surely no program would be as stupid to allow an interim title to exist for two seasons. That's ludicrous. It is impossible in the world of college athletics to find a two-year "interim" coach. The title of "interim" inhibits the recruiting strategies of a head coach. If recruits are being sought by a coach, they want to know that there will be some consistency while they are in school. If "interim" was part of Dunn's title for two seasons, then it is no wonder that an administration would be disappointed in the progress of a program. Another Bardo victim is gone from Cullowhee. Somewhere he's smiling. Don Costello, who served as Editor-in-Chief (1999) and Sports Editor (1998) of the Western Carolinian is now a graduate student at the University of Illinois at Chicago.
