A With one second left, hattan's Richie Garner in- bounded to Moore who was 25 feet out on the left side of the key. Moore, who was 9-for-13 from the field, lofted a jump shot which was good.

Officials Reds Barr and Bill Reilly looked toward the time-, keeper, then signalled the goal good. "It was just a luck shot," Manhattan coach Jack Powers said. "I felt it was short when it left his hand. There was no question about it. He shot as soon as he got it." But PMC coach Alan Rowe had a different version.

"I told Lamont Givins to put pressure on the inbound pass," Rowe said. "He touched the ball. The clock should have, started as soon as it touched his hand, not when the Manhattan player touched it." PMC had led most of the second half. The largest lead (11:45 left) was nine. But with 25 seconds left, Lorenza Tarvin made a jump shot to put Manhattan ahead 75-74.

Earl Dowling scored on a drive for PMC with 14 seconds left, but missed a foul that would have made it a three-point- play. PMC, plagued by turnovers in the last two minutes, had another chance to win when Bill Brandenburger was fouled pulling down a rebound under the Manhattan basket with four seconds left. But Brandenberger, in a one-and-one situation, missed the first shot. The ball bounded loose on the rebound and was knocked out of bounds near mid-court. That's when Moore got his chance to be a hero.

Tyrol's decisive goal was set up on a steal by teammate Larry Killer with four seconds showing. by concluded, "It was almost impossible to turn down. "They (the Nets) had a chance to get other ballplayers last year, players who had made verbal commitments to them and did not stand by them," Chones said.

"For this reason they felt it better that I sign now. I had to take it or the offer would have been taken away." Chones said the contract was for cash and included an "almost unbelievable" bonus. Lou Carnesecca, the Nets coach and general manager and an old friend of Marquette coach Al McGuire, said earlier in New York that Chones had made the initial approach. "I had indicated late last year the only kind of contract I'd want would be hard money," Chones said. "I was asking hard money cash.

It's almost phenomenal, but that's what I got. I knew only teams like the Knicks, the Nets and possibly Los Angeles could pay that kind of monsy in cash." Chones said the signing was announced immediately "because I didn't want it to go underground and ruin anyone else's chances of playing pro ball." He added one of the reasons he had chosen Marquette over some 60 other colleges three years ago "was the honesty of coach McGuire," and he wanted to follow his roach's example of honesty by making the signing public. Chones said he told the Nets h-v wanted to finish his and thy assured him he '-rd enroll in a college in Long Island. He said he hoped to finish the current semester at Marquette.
