preventing complacency
R OY TARPLEY'S knee injury had everyone holding their breath
earlier this week. The possibility of losing last year's Big Ten
Player-of-the-Year was a grim one indeed to the Michigan basketball
team.
Tarpley's injury turned out to be minor - just a slight hyperextension
- and he'll be back on the court in two weeks. But Michigan head coach
Bill Frieder didn't want to take any chances. Tarpley had arthroscopic
surgery performed on the knee to "take all the precautions," the
Wolverine head man said.
Frieder realizes his team's success is contingent upon its health. "Last
year we had great luck," Frieder said of the 26-4 campaign. "We were in-
jury free."
Health is a must if Michigan is to repeat a Big Ten title this season. The
Wolverines have solid players coming off the bench, but they aren't the
wizards who make up the starting five.
Perhaps just as important as physical health, however, is mental fit-
ness. There's no worse ailment than a bruised ego. Attitude is as in-
strumental to winning in college basketball as the tuba player is to the
Ohio State band show. Last year pre-season favorite Illinois thought it
had a cakewalk to the top of the Big Ten and ended up with a pie in the
face.
The complacency that can haunt a "can't miss" team could befall the
Michigan squad, which is sure to be ranked highly, if not number one, in
most pre-season polls. Last year, the young Wolverines took the con-
ference by storm on their way to the Big Ten championship. But this
season, all eyes are upon them. They must play with the same intensity to
repeat.
"You never know what's inside," Frieder said. "You never know if they
realize how hard they're going to have to work to be successful. No mat-
ter how hard you have to work to get to the top, you have to work harder to,
stay there."
Unselfish play will be the other key to keeping Michigan healthy and
happy. Balanced scoring and teamwork are what gave Michigan-the best
use of its immense talent last year. Tarpley led the team with 19.3 points
per game, but three other player averaged in double figures - Antoine
Joubert, 13.9, Gary Grant, 13.6 and Rich Rellford, 11.4.
Should anyone try to showcase his own skills and play superstar, the
results could be disastrous. The strength of the Wolverines lies in the vast
array of dimensions to their game. If someone has an off night, they've
got plenty to fall back on.
"We have to work to continue to play unselfishly," Frieder said.
"That's a characteristic they really developed last year and they played
extremely well together. They've got to maintain that."
So far the Michigan helmsman hasn't seen indication of anyone's plans
to stage a one-man show. "They know what you have to do to win," he
said. "They've been team-oriented right along.
That attitude is Michigan's apple a day.
HARDWOOD KNOCKS: Freshman Glen Rice has cut off the orange
tail he was sporting on the back of his head. Looks like the clean-cut look
is in.
GRIDIRON BLUES: Congratulations to the football team's equipment
manager for finding the right size pair of cleats for Jamie Morris. Satur-
day's game was the first time in memory the sophomore running back has;
made it four quarters without losing a shoe.
THIN ICE: Why does Michigan defenseman Pat Goff still wear "P.
Goff" on the back of his hockey jersey now that brother Dan is no longer
on the team? Always trying to keep the opponents guessing, I imagine.
