Rockets use 'heads' to bag Sampson NEW YORK (AP) The Houston Rockets, who captured the Ralph Sampson sweepstakes by winning a coin flip, would rather have acquired the draft rights to college basketball's best player in a less nerve-racking manner. "It was kind of silly for grown men to be sitting around flipping a coin with the success of a franchise at stake," said Ray Patterson, president and general manager of the Rockets. Rockets owner Charlie Thomas correctly called "heads" when larry O'Brien, commissioner of the National Basketball Association, flipped a 100-year- old silver dollar in O'Brien's office.

Indiana was the loser of the flip to determine who chooses first and who picks second in the NBA draft on June 28. Thomas said the Pacers would have- walked away with the third pick as well as Krista Pink but one meet this year, Jana Chafiti was named oustandlnn freshman while Most Improved wasii tie between Virginia Hildebrand and Lisa McKinnis.

Kumly Ung was given the MVP for the JV team and David Delemos received the honor for the varsity team. Baseball coach Pete declined presenting awards to his varsity squad saying, "It has been a tradition to wait until the season is over before doing so. Fortunately, this year the tradition is In effect nguin." The Unicorns, now 20-fi-l after defeating Alamo Heights in the bkiistrict playoff just two hours earlier, will advance in the playoffs. CJurvia did, however, award Maggie Medellin the MVP a ward for the 8-6 junior varsity team. the second, plus a player and a first-round choice next year if they had listened to his trade offer.

"We tried to make a trade to avoid all this," Thomas said. "It was too many dollars to have it come down to luck." But Thomas, who took his 21-year-old daughter's advice by calling heads, had the luck on his side, something the Rockets had very little of this season when they finished 14-68, worst in the NBA, with a 36 percent drop in attendance compared to 1981-82. Thomas said having the 7-fooM Sampson, a three-time Player of the Year for the University of Virginia, would be "worth millions to the Rockets." An estimated 2,000 calls were made to the team's switchboard in Houston after the toss, with about 300 season tickets purchased Thursday. The disappointed Pacers seid they had little choice but to try to get Sampson, who is considered to be the best player coming out of college since Bill Walton in 1974. "We felt we it to the fans to give them a shot at the No.

1 pick," said Pacers co-owner Herb Simon. He said he, too, would have said "heads" if Houston had not won the preliminary flip that designated who would make the official call. "If we had gotten to make the call, I feel we would have won," the disappointed Simon said. "I wish we could have gone down fighting." In calling heads, Thomas was bucking a trend that saw tails come up 12 times in the previous years. In addition, the team calling the toss had been unsuccessful 11 of 17 times.
