4 Page 8 - The Michigan Daily - Thursday, March 14, 1985 VAN DE WEGE TALKS OF FUTURE Women cagers need time to Bud Editor's note: The women's basketball team had what could be termed a down season, finishing at a 7-21 mark. Daily sportswriters Dave A retha and Mark Kovinsky tdlked to coach Bud Van De Wege about the season and the future of the women's program. Daily: How can you explain this year's 1-17 Big Ten record after going 6- 4 in non-conference games? Van De Wege: The league is definitely stronger than the teams we were playing in the non-conference. The (Big Ten) teams that we had to catch up to drastically improved last year. It was an improved league, even though we got better as a team. The other thing was our depth, which was real apparent in games like Min- nesota and Ohio State at home. We essentially had six players out there and our front-line depth (hurt us) especially. We had four front-line players that we were really going to be able to compete with. You just give it everything you have in a lot of those games and the depth of the other teams just wears you down. Daily: Two freshmen, Kelly Benin- tendi and Lorea Feldman, were star- ters, and a third freshman, Sarah Basford, saw a good deal of playing time. Are these players good enough to build a solid program around? Van De Wege: I think that they're a good core of players that have gained a lot of experience this year. They're not the type of players that can carry you. They are definitely Big Ten-caliber players, but whether they are Big Ten championship-caliber players, I don't know. I don't think they're able to carry us to those heights alone. They are not your star quality players. To use an alalogy, they'll be players like the Bodnars (Mark and Marty) when they were here with the men's program. Daily: What do you think is needed for Michigan to contend in the Big Ten? Van De Wege: You've got to bring in some other talented players to round (the freshmen) out. I need a couple of good recruiting years back-to-back, much the same as the men's program had. The thing that I'm up against is that I need an ice-breaker. What I need is somebody really well-known that will break the ice and come to Michigan. That will snowball and gather recruits here. Someone needs to take what others might consider a bold step and come here-to a program that has been spinning its wheels a little bit and that's just getting started again. Daily: Are there any "ice-breakers" in this year's recruiting class? Van De Wege: We've got a real good chance of that happening this year, but I can't mention any names. I can only mention the one that was signed-Mary Razowski from Farmington Mercy. She's a good size forward (6-0, 160 pounds) who does not have the flashy skills but is widely regarded as one of the better defensive players in the state. Daily: How about your transition from men's to women's basketball? Van De Wege: The switch for me was pretty easy. There are many women's programs that I could have stepped into and not have been nearly as comfor- table. But I stepped into this program which had a need for a lot of things that I could give them this year-the disciplined program, the more disciplined style of play, the back-to- fundamentals approach, and the fun- damental aspects of the game. That's all stuff that I was very comfortable with. Daily: Under yourleadership, do you Hot Celtics chill Suns " Associated Press Great American pastime?

BOSTON (AP) - Larry Bird. retaining his hot shooting hand, scored 31 points to lead the Boston Celtics to a 123-106 victory over the Phoenix Suns in National Basketball Association play last night. Bird, who set a club record with 60 points Tuesday against Atlanta, had a chance to break the Celtics' two-game record of 98 points set earlier this mon- th by Kevin McHale. But with the Celtics leading 115-101, Coach K.C. Jones removed him from the game with 3:05 left in the game. McHale added 25 points for the Celtics, including 20 in the first half. Charles Jones led the Suns with 19 poin- ts. Van De Wege ... needs recruits think this program will turn around? Van De Wege: I feel it can happen. How fast it can happen, I don't know. A lot depends on the recruits. As far as my coaching abilities and what I can do with the team, I'm going to do nothing but get better. It was a rookie year for me. It was the first time as a head coach at any level for me and I learned a lot. I made my mistakes, but it will be the same way next year. I'll be better next year, but I'll still be making my mistakes. I'm going to grow with the team. NEW Revolution in Time Clocks and the Making of the Modern World David S. Landes "Stunning...
