The 19 wins were the most ever for a rookie Wolverine coach. Frieder took the Wolverines to the National Invitational Tournament, where for the second consecutive year, they were eliminated in the third round, this time by eventual runner-up Syracuse, 91-76. He discussed the highs and lows of this past season and plans for the future with Daily Executive Sports Editor Drew Sharp. * * * * DAILY: At the beginning of the season you said that, realistically, a good season for the team would be to receive an NCAA tournament bid. In a realistic sense, are you pleased with the season results? FRIEDER: Oh, yeah, it was a good season. Of course, I was disappointed because we didn't make the NCAA's because in the middle of January, we had done such a great job, and if we had done a little better job down the stret- ch, we would have made it. Of course, thinking back to last fall, if someone told me that I would win 19 games, I would have settled for that in a second. So I thought, all in all, that we had a good season. DAILY: Do you think that the main reason for the team's six-game losing skid was that it may have peaked too soon into the season? FRIEDER: I think that it was a com- bination of things. First of all, I think we got away from doing the things which we did in the four straight vic- tories against Northwestern, Wisconsin twice, and Michigan State which gave us the 7-3 conference record. It didn't carry on to those following games. Things like a little more ball control and more possession. When we played those bottom teams, we were able to run the break better and get our shots off quicker. We weren't able to do that with the other clubs. And another reason had to be the schedule. In that losing streak, we had to play Indiana,, Iowa, Illinois, and Michigan State on the road, and that's going to be tough for anybody, not just Michigan. Take a look at the teams that faced Indiana in the NCAA tournament. None of them played as well as we did when we lost to them in Bloomington, and if they had to play in Iowa or Illinois two days after that, they would've gotten their butts beaten again. DAILY: The type of competition was the underlying factor in your team's performance? FRIEDER: Definitely. We had two very good games in the losses to Iowa and Illinois, but the fact that those teams were just so good. I said before that although we were seventh in the league, we were still one of the top 40 teams in the country. DAILY: Worthy of an NCAA bid? FRIEDER: I think so but you know that they (members of the NCAA Tour- nament selection committee) are not going to select seven Big Ten teams, ark~W six straight years (1975-1980) when the top pro player drafted has come front the Big Ten, and three of the last six national champions have come from this conference. So there's no doubt in my mind that we're in the, best con- ference. DAILY: The Daily has learned that freshman Tim McCormick is con- sidering attending the sports medicine clinic out in San Diego in regards to his knees. Is the condition of his knees wor- se than originally thought? FRIEDER: No, his knees are not that bad. They're better than they were at the beginning of the season. Tim suffers from "jumper's knee", an ailment that afflicts all big men. (Bill) Walton and (Bob) Lanier have it, also. Because of a looseness in the tendons there, anytime he jumps it causes some pain. He's been on the weights since last summer and his knees are strengthening, but it's going to be a problem that he'll have to play with. I haven't heard anythong about a San Diego trip, but if he goes, .fine. I don't think it's that big a problem. DAILY: Will the offense be geared around McCormick next season? FRIEDER: I don't know about that. I think you have to shape your offense around a balanced attack, especially in this conference because we play such a good defense that you can't center your offense around one person. If they shut him down, then you're in trouble. With McGee here, you had to go with him because he was so good. But with the players we have now and our guard situation next year, we are going to be a much quicker team and will be able to have a much more balanced attack. DAILY: After having a better-than- average recruiting season this year, how would you rate your team at this present time? FRIEDER: Well, we are going to have a sound player returning in Thad Garner, an experienced player in Mc- Cormick, a super freshman in guard Eric Turner, and the rest of the players are good. But you have to remember that we will be a very young team. DAILY: By losing four of five star- ters to graduation, it would be natural to expect that there will be intense competition for starting spots. Shouldn't this be beneficial to the team next year? FRIEDER: Most definitely it will help. I have no idea who my starting five will be right now, but I know I will have my five hardest working players out there on the court.

VISA MORE ROOM MEANS MORE MUSIC Frieder ... most rookie wins but if they legitimately choose the best 48 teams in the country, seven or eight Big Ten teams would be included. DAILY: Do you feel that the Big Ten's past record in NCAA tournament play is proof that the conference is the best in the country for basketball? FRIEDER: No questiop about that. Since 1976, we've had the best post- season record, and also the best non- conference record of any conference in the country. We've had more teams in the Final Four than anyone since 1976. By looking at the statistics, it is clear that the Big Ten is the best. We've had IS TI EVEN HARDER RESIST: SHE' Tigers blank Blue Jays, 2-0 as Gibson and Wilcox sparkle A TORONTO (AP)-Milt Wilcox out- dueled Dave Stieb for the second time in five days and Alan Trammell doubled home the only run Detroit needed as the Tigers defeated the Toronto Blue Jays, 2-0, last night. Wilcox, who went 7 2-3 innings last Saturday against Toronto, when the Tigers beat Stieb, 6-2, scattered three hits over 7 1-3 innings this time and struck out six Blue Jays, but was removed after issuing his seventh walk. THE ONLY HITS off Wilcox were singles by John Mayberry and Al Woods and a double by Alfredo Griffin. The Tigers raked Stieb for nine hits in FANNY, that bawdy, sensuous heroine of Erica Jong's latest bestseller, has seduced readers as well as reviewers from coast to coast.

The Tigers' first run came in the third inning when Rick Peters tripled to right center and Trammell followed with a double down the left field line. In the fourth, the Tigers loaded the bases with nobody out, but came away with only one run on Lou Whitaker's grounder. The Blue Jays' biggest threat came in the third. With one out, Griffin doubled to the right field corner and Lloyd Moseby walked. But Wilcox struck out Otto Velez and got Mayberry on a fly ball to center. WITH THE WIN, the Tigers remain in sole possession of first, place in the American League East with a 5-1 record. In second place, a game-and-a- half behind, is the New York Yankees, followed by Baltimore and Boston, both two games out.
