Sweet Lou has
Magic moment
Selected in NBA's second round,
Michigan alum lands in Orlando
By Chris Grandstaff
Daily Sports Editor
After more than three hours of waiting to hear his name
called, after several team workouts and four years at
Michigan, NBA Senior Vice President of Basketball
Operations Rod Thorn finally made Louis Bullock's dream a
reality.
"With the 42nd pick in the draft, the Minnesota
I'imberwolves select - Louis Bullock from the University
of Michigan," Thorne said at last Wednesday's NBA draft.
Bullock, the most prolific three-point threat in the history
of the Big Ten, will now take his magical touch down to
Orlando. Bullock, a native of Washington D. C., the site of
this year's draft, was taken with the 42nd overall pick by the
Minnesota Timberwolves before being dealt to Orlando for
cash considerations.
He leaves behind him a legacy that will not soon be for-
gotten.
"He will be remembered as one of the great Michigan
guards for some time to come," said Michigan men's basket-
ball coach Brian Ellerbe.
Bullock's career stats are gaudy. He holds the Big Ten
record for most career 3-pointers (339), he finished third on
the all-time Michigan scoring list with 2,224 career points
(trailing only former Wolverines Glen Rice and Mike
McGee), ranks first on Michigan's all-time free throw per-
centage list (86 percent) and became just the sixth Michigan
player to lead his team in scoring for three seasons.
Bullock was also an iron man of sorts for the Wolverines.
Bullock was a four-year starter and only missed three out of
32 career games.
"It's pretty obvious his contribution here is legendary,"
Ellerbe said. "He's won numerous awards, numerous mile-
stones, he's truly one of the best guards to play for
Michigan."
Bullock joins Duke's Corey Maggette, who was drafted
13th by Seattle before being traded to Orlando, and
Maryland's Laron Profit who was taken as the 32nd pick as
new members of the Magic.
"I think Orlando is an excellent situation for him," Ellerbe

said. "They showed a strong interest in him prior to the draft.
They were one of the teams who brought him back to work
out for a second time."
Despite Bullock's obvious offensive talents, some experts
believe he is undersized and may have a difficult time play-
ing defense against the bigger guards of the NBA, a belief
that Ellerbe strongly contests
"That's a ridiculous assumption and anyone who knows
basketball knows better than that," Ellerbe said.
"He's bigger than a lot of the guards in this year's draft.
Louis is a great shooter and sometimes I think he's a victim
of his own skills."
Only time will tell whether or not "Sweet" Lou, or any of
this year's rookie class will be able to make it in the pros. But
for now Bullock has a shiny new key to the Magic Kingdom
of the NBA.
"The opportunity for him in Orlando is great," Ellerbe
said. "Now it's up to him to seize the opportunity he's been
given."

Daily Sports witer
Several Michigan football players
have been implicated in an apparent
conspiracy to embezzle merchandise
from a local Kmart.
Sweetana Cummings, a newly-
hired employee at the Kmart in
Ypsilanti Township, allegedly
allowed junior offensive linemen
Jonathan Goodwin and Maurice
Williams, along with former team-
mate, sophomore fullback Demetrius
Smith, to slide through her checkout
stand with unpaid store merchandise.
Despite allegations, Smith told
The Michigan Daily he had never
met Cummings, and should not be
implicated in the incident.
"My name shouldn't even have
come up," Smith said. "I'm going to
get off on these charges."
Goodwin and Williams both said
they were instructed by their lawyers
to decline all comment on the matter
and not answer any questions. But
Williams said he was confident that
matter would work itself out.
The incident, brought to public
attention June 23, occurred over sev-
eral occasions during a two week
period. It is currently under detailed
investigation by the Washtenaw
County Sheriff's Department.
"Everyone is cooperating," said
Lt. Brenda Sutton, one of the many
officers on the case.
Although she wouldn't elaborate
further on the details of the investi-
gation, she did say that much of her
time on the case has been put on hold
because of a recent homicide in
Washtenaw County. This could very
well prolong an affair that many peo-

ple, including University officials,
would quickly like cleared up.
"We are very, very concerned,"
said Bruce Madej, the associate ath-
letic director for media relations.
"Lloyd (Carr) will deal with this,
in a strong manner. He takes these
problems to heart," Madej said.
Lt. Sutton confirmed search war-
rants were initially issued for the
players' homes upon notification of
Kmart's allegations. The matter was
initially exposed by a store security
official who is responsible for keep-
ing track of store merchandise,
according to Kmart corporate office
official Mary Lorencz .
Upon entering an apartment in
Pittsfield Township, shared by both
Goodwin and Williams, officers
seized 52 items of what they deci-
phered to be Kmart merchandise.
Items came in all sizes and value,
ranging from telephones and furni-
ture to video equipment, a Detroit
newspaper reported.
Lorencz confirmed that, "at least
some," of the recovered items were
indeed from the Ypsilanti Kmart.
But, "there could very well have
been other retail stores involved,"
she said.
Cummings was immediately ter-
minated from her position at Kmart,
according to employees. She was
then placed under arrest and booked
in the Washtenaw County Jail
overnight. However, none of the
players were arrested.
Sgt. Michael Logghe of the Ann
Arbor Police Department said that
normally under these situations, sus-
pects are put under "deferred arrest."

wo years probation for Purdue
Men's basketball program guilty of two violations, NCAA says

By Michael Kern
Daily Spomt Editor
Coming on the heels of two other
investigations into Big Ten men's basket-
ball programs that saw one head coach
*se his job, the Purdue men's basketball
program was placed on probation for
two years by the NCAA last week after
allegedly paying a potential recruit and
assisting the athlete's mother ,vith a
household move.
The probation results in, among
other things, the loss of one athletic
scholarship for the team and a limit of
just four paid campus recruiting visits
j r potential student-athletes.
The investigation began three years
ago after various newspaper editors
received anonymous letters alleging over
100 different violations. But by the end


of the investigation, only two of the alle-
gations in the minds of the NCAA
Committee on Infractions had sufficient
evidence to be proven to be true.
Purdue still protests that there is not
enough clear-cut evidence to find the
university guilty. Purdue Athletic
Director Morgan Burke announced last
week that the university plans to appeal
the penalties imposed by the committee.
"We, frankly, are surprised, disap-
pointed and puzzled by some of the rec-
ommendations," Burke said in a written
statement. "We recognize the difficulty
of the work of the Committee on
Infractions, particularly in cases that.
hinge on the credibility of different par-
ties with varying interests. However, our
review of some of the findings suggest
that there is information in the record

that appears contradictory."
Burke also said the penalties were
excessively harsh for such crimes
whether or not they had been committed.
"Even if the findings are upheld on
appeal, we consider some of the recom-
mended penalties to be inappropriate gof
and excessive." Burke said in the state-
merit.
Head coach Gene Keady was also
disappointed by the comnittee's find-
ings and denied any wrong doing.
"This has been very hard on the play-
ers, the coaches, and our fans," Keady
said in a written statement. "I want it to
be over, but we have to keep ott fighting.
It is a very difficult to run a clean pro- D A SCO L A BARBERS
