Being likeable may be as im-
portant to a basketball coach
as his knowledge of the game.
According to assistant coach Fred
Snowden, coordinator of Michi-
gan's basketball recruiting efforts,1
"Recruiting is a matter of get-
ting a prospect to like the coach-
'es."
The annual scouting program
begins its big push in the fall.
At this time, coachesdissect na-
tionwide reports about high
school cagers.
After careful analysis, question-
naires are sent to approximate-
ly three hundred Seniors to de-
termine their interest in the Uni-
versity. Promising Juniors are
also contacted with University in-
formational material.
No chances are overlooked as
folders are prepared on the most
re oo te Iryconsidered cagers.
Snowden explains, "Recruiting is
a case of luck. You never know
when you are going to come up
with a sleeper."
Snowden and his staff of
George Pomey and Dick Honig
then further investigate especially
attractive prospects, contacting
reliable sources in specific areas
of the country for first-hand in-
formation.
Letters are then sent to play-
ers who have been favorably ap-
praised by the contacts. About
.--ot?.....,. .-. -;::.., .

this time, the staff also decides
which boys will be scouted. Pom-
ey or Honig usually undertake the
scouting missions.
RECRUITERS ARE assigned
to all the schools in a certain
area that happens to be relatively
talent rich in a particular year.
Priority is given to those players
in the designated region who
could best help Michigan's cur-
rent weaknesses, such as defen-
sive-minded centers. But e v e n
before this stage, academic qual-
ifications are checked upon.
Specifically, a scout looks first
for a favorable attitude both on
and off the court. Second, quick-
ness and speed, especially in a
big man, are important. Third is
competitive desire. Snowden stat-
ed, "If a boy has these three at-
tributes, we can teach him the
rest, the overall mechanics and
knowledge of the game.'
When the roster of prospects is
down to about twenty names,
Snowden himself tries to see each
one of them play.
As the list is finalized, one of
the coaches visits the player and
his parents. The first question to
be answered is "Are you inter-
ested in coming to Michigan?"
If not, then "we don't waste any
time." If so, a campus visit may

A club spokesman said Lemon

No successor to Lemon as man-
ager was named immediately, but
high on the list of speculation
were Bob Kennedy of the Oak-

Twins, and Eddie Stanky, late of
the Chicago White Sox.
Lemon was booted out of his

Kennedy, who lifted the Oak-
