A Difference of Opinion Over Harrick’s Situation

Than you, Coach Harrick, for:

--Being a better mentor than Larry Farmer or Walt Hazzard.

--Not embarrassing head cases such as Trevor Wilson or Don MacLean by attempting to discipline them.

--Making a sow’s ear out of the silk-purse talent that the Bruins have had over the last four years.

--Being the antithesis of George Raveling, who gets his kids to overachieve.

--Classic quotes such as, “UCLA players run up and down the court with my paycheck in their mouths.”

--Fostering player independence via shrugging your shoulders when you were asked what defensive alignment USC was in.

--Not abusing time by fouling, thus allowing the Trojans to run the clock with 3 1/2 minutes to play.
