ORR: I think ratings are good.
They create interest for fans. I don't
think they're accurate. I'm on the
UPI rating board and I rate the
teams. Maybe I know the two or
three top teams, the rest of them are
very difficult to rate. You can tell
that by the magazines they put out. I
don't know how a writer like you
could tell me which teams are the
best when you've never seen them.
And most writers have never seen
them, but they rate them. But that
creates interest, and I think that's
good. Some of the awards and that
sort of thing, I don't think are that
fair, but that isn't any of my concern.
I have nothing to say about that, so it
doesn't bother me. I'll tell you what:
When you're picked number one, and
you get a trophy like we got last year
(for being selected the top team in
the country in the AP and UPI Polls),
that gives you great satisfaction as a
coach because over the whole year
we were the number one team in the
nation and not just in the tourna-
ment. We want to win the tourna-
ment. But you have to be lucky to win

the tournament. Two years ago we
were very lucky - we got into the
finals and played some great basket-
ball, and had things break our way.
Last year, we played one bad half
and we didn't get in there (the
finals), we were defeated. But we
were still one of the final eight teams
in America and that isn't bad when
you have 800 or 1000 teams playing
basketball. I like the polls. I like
them. They're a lot of controversy,
they cause a lot of conversation,
there's no question about that. But
anyone that says that they don't want
to be number one, they're not telling
you the truth.
THE DAILY: How do you feel the
Big Ten will shape up now that
Thompson and Winey from Minne-
sota are both slated to return?
ORR: Oh, I think like it was before
- Purdue and Minnesota, they'd
have to be the favorites. I think we
would of been right in there. We were
in all the polls until we lost Phil. I
think you have to put Michigan State,
Ohio State, and Wisconsin probably
as the most improved teams. They
should be very much improved over
the past few years. Indiana and
Michigan are both going to be good
teams, strong teams, young teams.
But we're the only schools that have
won the. Big Ten the past six years
and I think that's a psychological ad-
vantage. Then you have Illinois and
Iowa. I read they both think they're
going to be much, much better.
Northwestern lost Billy McKinney,
but they feel they have a veteran
team coming back and some very
fine veterans. So, it looks like an
awful tough league to me.

GREEN'S ROOMMATE, John
Robinson, on the other hand, probably
player closer to his. potential than
most-he had much less natural talent.
Rob's shooting was nothing to speak of
beyond eight feet. Yet he was effective
enough close to the basket, setting a
school record for career field goal per-
centage (.550). You don't have to look
far to find a better talent at forward.
Rob was consistent and did what he
could in terms of leadership.
With these three seniors and
sophomore Hubbard sparking the at-
tack the Wolverines raced to a 26-3
