Rob Williams dreams of the pros
United Press International
HOUSTON — Houston
Cougars sophomore guard Rob
Williams says he thinks often ab
out starting his pro career after
next season, but so far he hasn’t
decided on even the questions he
must ask himself before deciding.
A Cougars win in the Southwest
Conference’s postseason tourna
ment beginning Thursday in San
Antonio might help Williams, 19,
make up his mind; playing in the
NCAA Tournament finals would
go even farther.
“I caught myself the other night
dreaming that I was in the final
four. I woke up when Billy Packer
hollered ‘Houston’ as he was intro
ducing the teams. I was pretty ex
cited,” he said.
Earning an NCAA Tournament
finals berth is a longshot for the
Cougars, a young team who is 19-8
and the SWC’s second-place
team. Nevertheless, Williams said
he will be emotionally let down if
his team doesn’t make it.
“That is what my dream is all
about. I’ve been thinking about it
ever since the team has been going
good,” he said.
Houston probably will not re
ceive an NCAA Tournament bid if
they do not win the SWC Tourna
ment, but they may be in line for a
National Invitation Tournament
berth with a defeat.
Win or lose, Williams will play
his junior season for Coach Guy
Lewis in 1981-82 and then decide
whether to declare himself a hard
ship case, pass up his senior season

“A lot of people have been tell
ing me (to go hardship),” he said.
“I’ll be straight with you. I try to
look at it like it won’t be that bard
(a decision) because I want to stay
in school and get my degree and
everything. Most likely I will.”
He added, however, “I might
like to go hardship. I imagine it
will be a tough decision because
there is an opportunity to play pro
ball. I haven’t really gotten very
far on thinking about it. There are
things like if I have a big year, if I
average 20 or 25 points next year
and if the team has a good season
— then I might consider taking
advantage. ”
Williams is the nation’s sixth
leading scorer with a 25.0 average.
He was the national player of the
week once this season. He was the
District 6 co-player of the year.
He is a better floor leader than
former Cougar guard Otis Bird
song, a pro now. But he is not as
sharp a shooter.
“I consider I’m at the midpoint
in my development,” he said.
“I’ve matured more mentally to
where certain situations on the
floor get me going. ”
