Winning Is No Shock

(JTA) = Every basketball
fan knows about Larry
Brown, the head coach of the
University of Kansas, one of
this year's final four teams in
the NCAA post-season
tournament.
But the state of Kansas
boasts another big-time
Jewish college coach who is
less well known — Eddie
Fogler of Wichita State
University.
That anonymity may not
last long. All Fogler did last
season, his first as a head
coach, was beat Brown's team
on national TV and guide
WSU to the Missouri Valley
Conference post-season cham-
pionship and a berth in the
NCAA tournament.
The Shockers lost their
NCAA contest to St. John's,
57-55, but they finished the
1986-87 campaign at 22-11.
Fogler was named the con-
ference's coach of the year.
Only two other first-year
coaches recorded more wins
than he did last season. His
"cardiac kids" overcame 19-
and 15-point deficits in the
conference tournament and
won the final game in
overtime.
This year Fogler again
guided the Shockers to an
NCAA tournament berth.
They placed second in the
conference to Bradley, with
an 11-3 mark, 20-9 overall.
The Shockers beat Bradley
once and lost an early-season
overtime game to Big 10
champ Purdue. WSU ended
its season with an 83-62 loss
to DePaul in their NCAA
first-round game.
"We've lost some we should
have won, and won some we
perhaps should have lost,"
Fogler says.
At 38, Fogler is one of the
youngest major college
coaches. St. John's coach Lou
Carnasecca calls Fogler "one
of the young, bright minds of
basketball" while ESPN's
Bucky Walters compliments
his "cool" bench demeanor
during the win over Kansas.
Although he coached the
U.S. Maccabi Games team in
1984, Fogler noted that he
has come across few good
Jewish high school players.
"I think it's because of the
affluence of most Jewish
familes. You find more Jewish
kids involved in swimming,
golf, tennis and gymnastics,"
he says.
Fogler, a high school star in
Queens, N.Y., was the excep-
tion. He was heavily
recruited and enrolled at the
University of North Carolina,
where Brown was his
freshman coach.

Fogler was a play-making
point guard for the Tarheels,
who went to the NCAA final
four his sophomore and junior
years and to the NIT his
senior year.
For 13 years, Fogler was an
assistant to North Carolina
coach Dean Smith. Among
the players Fogler recruited
were Michael Jordan, James
Worthy, Sam Perkins, Phil
Ford, Brad Daugherty and
Mitch Kupchak.
"I was a math major,"
recalls Fogler, "but Dean
Smith sort of influenced me to
think about coaching, and my
parents were supportive."
Math is an individual pur-
suit, yet Fogler is attracted to
basketball because of its team
aspects. "The fun of dealing
with a group of athletes, get-
ting them to play together —
I think that's much more
challenging • and interesting
than it would be to coach
athletes that compete in an
individual sport," he says.
Like any assistant at a win-
ning program, Fogler was
often approached by other col-
leges. What made him accept
Wichita State's offer?
"It just seemed like the
time was right," he explains.
"Being at North Carolina had
been a great experience, but
it was time to do something
different and new. I had got-
ten to the point where I was
ready to make decisions and
not suggestions.
"What attracted me to
Wichita was its tradition: the
strong interest of the fans, the
10,000-per-game home atten-
dance and the budget, which
enables us to recruit national-
ly."
The city of Wichita has also
surprised Fogler. "There's a
nice-sized Jewish community
here: two synagogues, and
both quite active," he says.
"I've already made some good
friends in the Jewish com-
munity."
