GLENDALEBURBANK SPORTS 10 Sunday. April IS. I9JHG-GB GoaAnfletwSlme HOLLAND: Ex-Bruin Star Finds Happiness in Beer-Pizza Cage League i zzz I MdiU I "But then I thought, 'I've got absolutely nothing to My career stands on its own. I'm just going to go out and try to have fun. I'm not going to go out and try to be the Reading scorer and prove that hey.

you guys I'm as good as you thought I was." His statistics against Crown Auto the other night reflect his ability, but also his reluctance to lake charge: 9 of 14 shots, 9 of 10 free throws, 27 points, five rebounds, four assists. His team fell behind earty and lost, 75-59. Holland took only four shots in the second half. "I'm really focused on why I'm playing." Holland said. "I'm not playing to be the leading scorer and to hog the ball and so-called win it for us.

I don't have any problem with every guy on the team shooting and scoring because that's what this league is for. It's not for me to dictate who should do what. It's not my job to score 50 points out there and just take over. That wouldn't be fun for me because I know it wouldn't be fun for the other guys. I could take it every lime I wanted.

I could take it to the hoop, I could shoot I could get my shot off no problem. I could bring the ball up the floor every time. It just doesn't interest me to do that." It's Not 'Comedown' But isn't it a comedown to go from Pauley Pavilion and the Forum to a near-empty gym atGlendale High? "I wouldn't say it's a comedown," he said. "It wasn't anything I didn't expect. You play on a certain level and you're used to that.

And then you play in this league it's nothing like I'm used to playing. Hut it's still fun because I don't have to worry about improving. I don't have to worry about proving myself out there. That's what makes it kind of fun. So 1 don't look at it as a comedown.

But there's no question it's not even close, competition -wise, to even college ball. It's nowhere near. It's really more like high school. But that's OK." He calls his pro career "frustrating," and admits that sometimes he does, indeed, look back. The highlight of his career, he said, was playing on the leakers with boyhood heroes Karcem Abdul -Jabbar and Jamaal Wilkes and another rookie who broke into the league at the same lime as I lolland.

Magic Johnson. HU 'Greatest Thing' "Helping the I-akers in a small way win a championship was the greatest thing that's ever happened to me in basketball," he said. "That was really a thrill 10,000 people in the Forum parking lot to greet us after we got back from Philadelphia. It was just a phenomenal feeling to be a part of all that. "That's something I didn't even dream about it seemed so remote.

But there it was happening to me. I kept pinching myself for a year after that I still think about it. I've got a tape of the final game. I can pop it in my cassette and live in the past if I want." He can do the same thing with the Brews Bros "There's been some good feelings." Holland said. "It's really been a lot of fun." Continued From Page 1 1980? The same Brad Holland who made 53.4 of his shots at UCLA and was described as "maybe th3 best outside shooter in collegiate history" by Lakers General Manager Bill Sharman? The same Brad Holland whose 24.6 career scoring average at Crescenta Valley High in the mid- 1970s is seventh-best in CIF history? The very same.

He still looks like Potsy Weber, the well-scrubbed, well-mannered fellow who hangs around with Richie and Fonzie on the "Happy Days" televijion show. And his jump shot at least the one taken in the faces of muni-league players with a fraction of his talent is still as pretty to watch as it was in his salad days. But, really, what is he doing here? Operations Cut Quickness Mainly as he said he's having a good time, playing with many of the same players who helped CV reach the quarterfinals of the CIF 4-A playoffs 10 years ago when Holland was a high school junior. But. at age 27, doesn't he have a few good years left? Couldn't he still play in the NBA? Probably not.

Three knee operations have taken their toll on his quickness. In three NBA seasons, he was traded by the Lakers and cut by the Washington Bullets and Milwaukee Bucks. He was training with the Utah Jazz in the fall of 1982 when he decided he'd had enough. "I'm sitting there in my hotel room wondering about my future my knees are hurting and I just decided I'd had enough of basketball being the majority of my life," Holland said. "I looked at my wife, two little girls (twin daughters, age 26 months), instability in the NBA I figured I'd go home and get a normal type job and have stability and a little more security in my life." So he packed up his family and drove home to Ijos Angeles.

No regrets, no looking back. Not Fastest in World' "I played three years in the NBA. and I'm thankful for that." he said. "I got a chance to play on a world championship team. I played for a great college program.

I look back on my career and I'm really thankful for those opportunities. Sure. I would have loved to play 15 years in the NBA and make a tremendous amount of money and be able to pick and choose what I wanted to do with the rest of my life. Still, playing three years in the NBA gave me a good base (financially). We live in a nice house (in La Canada Flintridge) and I have two cars and two kids." And.

besides. Holland said, "I'm (only) 6-3 and I'm not the fastest guy in the world, so going into the NBA I didn't automatically assume I'd be playing 10 to 15 years." He is "retired, for lack of a better word. But if my injuries weren't such and my quickness was still there, I'd probably still be in the NBA." Holland sold commercial printing for a couple of years HARHY KISIIKR Angrln TimM Brad Holland plays muni-league basketball now, but the game is less important to him these days. Said Holland: "You get in that type of situation and you might find players saying, 'Oh, this is Brad Holland, NBA, let's see how good he Or if somebody scores a few points over me he'll think, 'Oh, he wasn't that So your ego comes into play. You start talking to yourself.

and is in the process of opening an instant-printing franchise with Lakers broadcaster Keith Erickson, another former UCLA and Lakers player. And. of course, he plays a little basketball. He said he was reluctant when former high school teammate Bob Nicholson asked him to join Brews Bros.

il 210 Frwj PASADENA 449-1231 College Board Approves Six-Week Summer Session The Glendale College board of trustees voted 4-0 Tuesday to approve a six-week summer session without setting a starting date. Motivated by a rumor that circulated around campus last week, several teachers and students appeared before the board to protest cancellation of the summer session. Supt. Rex Craig said that although the district could save money by discontinuing summer session, such a move was never planned. District officials, however, recommended restricting funding for summer classes to the amount that was budgeted for last summer.

College vice president John Davitt assured board members that the $58,000 cost overrun which occurred last summer would not be repeated. Any unexpected costs would be handled by trimming the class schedule, Davitt said. District officials recommended starting the summer session June 25. las Angeles Times Lot Angeles Times 1J 1 Cathi Cotti Christine Clark Cotti and Clark Selected as Top Girl Cager and Coach Meet your San Gabriel Valley market twice a week in The Times.
