He has the courage of his own convictions made it quite clear before that playing basketball for White is not easy also made it clear that playing basketball for White would be a great experience This Harbor College team is unique The Sea-hawks are 7-8 and have to go back some to find when one of teams were below 500 4 Still White sounded like a first-year coach after Harbor had defeated Golden West 96-62 to even its Southern California Conference record at 1-1 night (Friday) was so White said Saturday I was walking around here feeling like we had just won the league not so much because of the score because we 'played with such enthusiasm We had so much I had so much fun They had a frontline of 6-9 6-10 and 6-6 with about three 6-6 guys on the a Harbor you see is anything but a tall team But White "has a way of convincing his guys that something to the old saying bigger they are the harder they played great defense" White said Johnson Tpnd Kenny Anderson did a heck of a job and Jimmy Batiste was super 4 was really glad for Jimmy He thought we would have winning team this year and instead of get down about a 'number of things that has happened he has played "absolutley tremendous Still White must have known this would not be a banner ear for the team One starter from last year Richard yVatson decided he want to play basketball any ignore 4 Then injuries have claimed Anderson and Brian McCor-Tmick at one time or another And Johnson suffered through two cases of strep throat because stubborn 'and bullheaded and listen to a White 'Said The frustration level hit a peak when two key players Tjohn Smith and Reggie Hill were kicked off the team for 'an alleged theft Ml vkwSf -y A Jack Murphy Walsh's choice: Stanford or the NFL They were not the first to join the list of players kicked iff aHarbor basketball team However there was no other Alternative in mind know" he said really changed over the past eight years I kick guys off as readily as I used to A lot of times that has been one of my White credits the Harbor football coach Bill Young With assistance in this department Young is a great savior" he explained has saved a lot of kids because of his patience And a phase of teaching and coaching that is important easy to help guys like Bobby Johnson and Kenny Anderson because I know the kind of things they get into off the court But there are some guys who I what doing off the court and I know flow to save them This time I did get an attorney for Jmith and White though still believes in strict discipline always believed and this is one of the problems 4 with our judicial system that a man has to be held accountable for what he he said a guy does something bad he should have to pay the Tprice That mean we have to hate them but we can them after they pay that price 4 be there after I discipline them I feel games last season and he did many things well Fouts will have a fine career in the NFL statistically be fourth or fifth in passing year after believed Prothro wants to replace Walsh with Max Coley offensive coordinator with Denver since 1972 good judges Walsh rate Coley as the best in the league Walsh leaves the NFL with a sense of accomplishment think I made an he says in Cincinnati The things we did made offensive football more viable I see a lot of our ideas have been picked up and now are widely used around the league had progress with the Chargers we went from 2-12 to 6 8 and a good But he does not fear leaving a Super Bowl team of the near future would hope the Chargers will be 7-7 or 8-6 next year and somewhere down the line become a very good students was my strong point when I worked for John Ralston at Please note he say keen about romancing the high school campus heroes It's part of the job he accepts it be good at it But pro football has been his mileu for a decade have to form some new habits After leaving Stanford 1965 Walsh had a year with the Oakland Raiders eight seasons with Paul Brown in Cincinnati and a year with the Chargers The Chargers harmed by his term as the offensive coordinator indeed they are nervous because he has left so soon Dan Fouts experienced much growth in a year when the Chargers won six games and naturally an admirer of Walsh A coach Fouts terms Walsh In turn the coach praises the quarterback is flawed because not very says Walsh he deserves more recognition than he has received Some said he was injury prone but he played 14 His time was brief in San Diego but he attracted a lot of attention most of it favorable and his departure has caused a stir uncommon for an assistant football coach But Bill Walsh has qualities of leadership that set him apart from the herd They saw that at Palo Alto thus Walsh has left the San Diego Chargers for the larger opportunity the new head coach at Stanford With more patience he might well have been the next commander of the Chargers or another team in the National Football League Gene Klein had led him to believe his search for a successor to Tommy Prot-hro would begin and end with Walsh when a vacancy occurs But Walsh is 45 he has served other men for 20 years he was eager to express himself as a head coach time was right the job was he reflects it was a very difficult decision We agonized over it for two weeks I just couldn't pass up an opportunity to coach at Stanford It's the school for me I have been interested in Nebraska or something like He had returned to La Jolla to be with his family at Christmas and the gentle December weather reminded him how much he had enjoyed his year with the Chargers and how much he missed California during his years in Cincinnati a native of California a Californian in dress thought and habit had some reason to believe a job might be open for me in the he says it would have come in the the Midwest or East and I've had enough of that I don't want to leave California Walsh should be perfect for Stanford smooth stylish and dignified yet he has a quick smile and considerable charm When he goes recruiting captivate the parents and establish a sense of trust with the Football players like Walsh they want to please him they are inspired to be better than they know how don't look with disfavor on he says something that comes easily for me Dealing with parents and 1 4.
