... Will Frieder ever smile
BILL FRIEDER stood in the corner of the Crisler Arena basketball
court and fired a shot through the hoop. He took a few steps to his
left, grabbed another ball and shot again. To his left, Eric Turner banged an
18-footer off the rim.
"Hey E," Frieder shouted. "I thought you could shoot. We'll have to have
Butch Wade give you a few lessons."
The Michigan basketball coach erupted in laughter and dribbled to another
basket. Turner smiled, shook his head, and continued shooting.. .
It's difficult to imagine such behavior out of Frieder. In fact, such a scene
never happens. Frieder conducts basketball practice in a business-like
manner. He stands stone-faced at mid-court as the Wolverines run drills and
scrimmage. He speaks only to commend or criticize his team. He rarely
jokes and never clowns around with his players ...
Enter George Raveling at Iowa. The first-year Hawkeye coach runs a
lively and enjoyable practice session, according to his players.
"Coach Raveling will come out in sweats," said Iowa center Greg Stokes
at last Sunday's Big Ten media luncheon in Chicago. "He'll shoot around
with us and get involved with the drills. He'll do layups and tip-ins. He gets
out there with us and it's fun. I've never seen that before."
"After practice we'll be shooting free throws and he'll say something like,
'Make this one and you get a date with (Steve) Carfino.' He'll joke around
with you and he keeps things loose. It's a real relaxed atmosphere.
Of course, tomfoolery isn't the only activity the Hawkeyes practice.
Raveling has his serious moments, too.

coach apologizes. I can tell you right
now that just isn't going to happen."
Michigan coach Bill Frieder, who
said Burton was "dismissed" from his
club just prior to the 1981 season, said
he was not surprised by Burton's ac-
tions.
"Of course I'm not surprised,"
Frieder said. "We had the same
problems with him when he was here.
He's very mixed up. He's a good kid but
he just doesn't have his mind on
basketball."
Burton could 'not be reached for
comment.
BURTON, THE son of ex-Michigan
basketball great M.C. Burton II, played
sparingly his freshman year for
Frieder. He left Michigan prior to the
start of his sophomore year, taking off
for California. He transferred to Toledo
last year but left before he regained his
eligibility.
Burton or no Burton, Toledo should be
a tough opponent for Michigan. The
Rockets return three seniors and four
juniors from last year's 17-12 team,
Leading the way for Toledo is 6-6 for-
ward Ken Epperson, owner of a 18.1
scoring average last year. Tim Reiser
paced the backcourt with a 10.4 scoring
clip last season.

Frieder said. "they've got a veteran
club with a lot of seniors and juniors.
Reiser is a quality guard. Epperson is a
top-notch front-line player. And they
always do well against us (Michigan
holds a 12-8 series advantage). They'll
be a good opening match-up."
As for his own team, Frieder said that
everyone is healthy now, including for-
ward Paul Jokisch who has been
sidelined with a ligament injury in his
hand. Robert Henderson, a 6-9 forward
who sat out Michigan's exhibition game
against Athletes in Action, will also be
ready to go. Center Tim McCormick
has a bruised knee, but will not be
bothered by it, according to the fourth-
year coach.
FRIEDER LISTED his starting
lineup as guards Eric Turner and Leslie
Rockymoore, center McCormick, and
forwards Butch Wade and Richard
Rellford, adding that "a couple of those
guys are tentative starters." When
asked which ones were tentative,
Frieder said, "They're all tentative,
really."

Wolverines host North Carolina A&T

tournament last year with a 23-8 record.

"If you're not giving 100 percent in
practice, he'll yell at you plenty,"
said Carfino of his coach. "He
doesn't allow you to not concentrate
and not think."
But more often than not, Raveling
keeps his players smiling.
"I missed a rebound the other day
in practice because I forgot to box
out and he was all over me," said
Stokes. "Coach Raveling, he'll yell
at you all day in practice but when
the bell sounds and practice is over,
he'll come up and ask you how things
are going. He wants to keep people
happy."

Baseball union fires Moffett
NEW YORK (AP) - Ken Moffett was fired as exec-
tive director of the Major League Players
Association yesterday, less than a year after he was
elected as the union head, three separate sources told
The Associated Press.
One of the sources, who asked not to le identified,
said Marvin Miller, the man whom Moffett suc-
ceeded, would act as interim executive director.
Former Miller aide Richard Moss, now a player
agent, later confirmed the firing and Miller's interim
stewardship.
Two sources said Moffett's firing was the result of a
political battle within the union with Miller and
players association counsel Don Fehr on one side and
Moffett on the other.
'It would have taken those two men Fehr and Miller
to do it," said a source with contacts in the players'
union. However, Moss said to depict Moffett's firing
in a political way "portrays it in a false way."

Raveling has good reason to placate his Hawkeyes. Iowa's team contains
some of the best players in the Big Ten, let alone the nation.
Stokes won a gold medal as a member of the U.S. basketball team at the 1983
Pan American Games and is a probable member of the nation's 1984 Olym-
pit team. The 6-10, 220-pound junior averaged 17.7 points and 7.2 rebounds per
game last year to earn second-team all-Big Ten honors.
The Hawkeyes have a second tower up front in 6-11 junior Michael Payne.
Possessing excellent mobility and a fine shooting touch, Payne complements
Stokes with career averages of 11.0 points and 7.5 rebounds per game.
"I don't think you have to be a Harvard scholar to know we have to get the
ball to Payne and Stokes if we're going to win," said Raveling.
Iowa's lineup, however, doesn't end at Payne and Stokes. Carfino shoots as
well as any guard in the conference. Sophomores Brad Lohaus and Andre
Banks, two probable starters, are former high school all-Americans, as are
freshmen Johnny Fort, Dave Snedeker and Robert Ursery. Junior Kenny
Fullard was a junior college all-American last year.
All of these players combine to make Iowa, along with Michigan State, a
favorite to win the Big Ten championship. Raveling's problem is transfor-
ming talent into victories. The same basic conglomeration of players
finished fifth in the conference last year under coach Lute Olson. Raveling's
enthusiasm might propel the Hawkeyes to the top.
"Coach Olson thought the players were mature enough to motivate them-
selves," said Carfino. "Coach Raveling is a motivator. He likes to yell. He
likes to get up and get the fans into the game. I think that helps us to become
more enthusiastic, too."
