Lawmakers
leave primary
issue for 1987
Associated Press
AUSTIN — Texas legislators
have passed the touchy question of a
presidential primary in 1988 on to
the 1987 Legislature.
Some lawmakers blame Gov.
Mark White for the recent Legis
lature’s failure to act. Critics say
White doesn’t want a March primary
stretching out his expected re-elec
tion campaign for governor in 1986.
State Democratic Chairman Bob
Slagle promised early Tuesday that
Democrats would have a presidential
primary in 1988, even it t has to be
ordered only by the State Demo
cratic Executive Committee.
After 140 days of debate, the bill
proposing that Texas hold a “Super
Tuesday” presidential primary in
March to get national attention from
presidential candidates died Mon
day night when Senate and House
negotiators f a i 1 e d to reach
agreement.
All five Senate negotiators fa
vored the Senate plan to establish a
separate presidential primary in
March only in presidential election
years, with regular primary elections
for state and local officials remain
ing in May.
However, only two of the House
committee members favored the
compromise offered by Sen. Chet
Edwards, D-Duncanville.

'Winning is important but...'
Coach instills confidence
By JENS B. KOEPKE
Reporter
Merrill Creen has faced the pres
sure of winning and losing and has
come out with a humble smile of sat
isfaction.
As Bryan High School’s athletic
director and head football coach for
the past 13 years, Creen considers
the development of self-assured and
self-reliant students as his athletic
program’s most significant goal.
“Winning is important, but there
are more important things,” he said.
, The most important thing in
coaching, he said, is to be a good ex
ample, to be fair and consistent in
dealing with students, and to de
velop self-confidence in the stu
dents.
Surviving two-a-day workouts in
the August heat instills self-confi
dence in a young person, Green
said. Shy, unsure students come into
the program and leave as bold,
“look-you-in-the-eye” adults ready
for the real world, he added.
Because of the close emotional
relationship he has with his players,
Green said his mistakes are more
painful and personal. He always
tries to place the students’ interests
first in all his decisions.
“I don’t take credit for
my players’ successes or blame for
their failures,” he said.
Talking to the affable Green, one
notices the sincere humility with
which he approaches coaching.
“I really ( io think the only prereq
uisite I had for coaching was that I
was a really average athlete,” Creen
said. “I think had I been a highly-
skilled athlete, I probably would not
have much patience in teaching, or a
great amount of tolerance for play
ers with average ability.”
Green’s patient mentor was his
high school coach, Joe Gibson. Gib
son had high moral standards and
cared for the individual progress of
every athlete, Green said.
“It was probably at that point I de
cided I’d like to coach someday. I
had never verbalized that in my own
mind, but as I look back, he made a
positive impression on me.”
But still with no intention of get
ting into coaching. Green went to
Merrill Green
the University of Oklahoma to play
football and baseball. He opted in
stead for a degree in business ad
ministration.
“I always looked at athletics as
something that was a lot of fun,
something that I enjoyed doing, and
that I had had some success in as a
high-school and college athlete. But
I always figured that was just all it
was and that you couldn’t make a liv
ing doing it,” Green said.
His wife reminded him that ath
letics was something he enjoyed and
that coaching would be a respectable
way to make a living, he said.
Green began at the college level,
coaching for nine years at Wichita
State University, Texas Tech Uni
versity, the University of Missouri
and the University of Arkansas.
In 1965, he accepted the head
coaching job at Abilene Cooper
High School. Green stayed for seven
years, taking the team to the state
championship game in 1967.
“I like high school coaching be
cause you’re dealing with people
who are doing it for amateurish fun,
not because they want to make a pro
fessional career out of it,” Green
said.
It takes less to motivate high
school athletes to practice, he said.
At first disinterested. Green ac
cepted the position of athletic direc
tor and head football coach at Bryan
High School in 1972.
“I saw a real challenge here — a
chance to get in on the ground
floor,” he said.
Bryan High School had only
existed one year, being the inte
grated combination of primarily
white Stephen F. Austin High
School and primarily black Kemp
High School.
Bryan has a much greater vari
ance of ethnic groups than Abilene,
he said, and is more indifferent to
high school athletics because of
A&M’s proximity.
Green’s critics have accused him
of losing several “big” games in his
13-year career at Bryan High.
“Some people think, ‘Gosh, I
don’t know how you stand the pres
sure.’ ” Green said. “I’ve never
known anything else. I stand on the
Sideline and it just turns me on. I
love it. I know I make a lot of mis
takes and I know I get a lot of crit
icism, but that doesn’t bother me one
iota. I don’t like it , but it doesn’t af
fect my job because I’ve been so ac
customed to it.”
Green’s boyish enthusiasm for
coaching is tempered by his re
strained demeanor.
“I’d like to think the kids see me
act the same way, whether we’re win
ning or losing, whether we’re having
success or things aren’t going well,”
he said. “ I’m not always that same
way inside, but to them, I am.”
Green’s coaching career is not his
most important responsibility. His
spiritual life and his family come
first.
“I think if you do the first one
(spiritual) right and the second one
(family) right, then the third one
(job) falls in place easy,” he said.
Green’s humility comes out when
he catalogs his coaching career, al
ways referihg to “we” making the ca
reer decisions — “we” being his fam
ily.
“I am as successful or unsuccess
ful in my job as I am as a father and
husband, or as a husband and fa
ther,” Green said. “I don’t know
which comes first.”
