Maryland names
new head coach
BALTIMORE (AP) — Bob Wade,
coach and athletic director at Balti
more’s Dunbar High School, was
named basketball coach at the Uni
versity of Maryland Thursday, re
placing Charles “Lefty” Driesell.
Maryland Chancellor John B.
Slaughter, who made the announce
ment, said, “The University of
Maryland has had a dearth of happy
events over the last several months.
Today represents a major change in
our fortunes.”
Driesell, under pressure to give
up his coaching post following the
June 19 cocaine-induced death of
basketball star Len Bias, resigned
Wednesday and accepted a job as as
sistant athletic director at the univer
sity.
Wade, 41, who was accompanied
by his wife and one of his two sons,
said his elevation to college basket
ball coach represents “something we
looked forward to all of our lives.”
A graduate of Morgan State in
Baltimore, Wade has posted a 280-
19 record during 10 seasons at Dun
bar.
“It couldn’t have happened to a
better guy,” said Lake Clifton High
School Coach Woody Williams, a
long-time friend of Wade’s.
Wade has had a running feud
with Driesell through the years.
Wade claimed the Maryland coach
would not recruit in Baltimore,
while Driesell complained that Wade
directed his best players to George
town University in Washington.
Pete Pompey, coach at Edmond
son High School, said Wade never
prevented Driesell from recruiting
at Dunbar. He said Wade also has a
strict philosophy about his players’
academic performance and use of
drugs.
“He made a commitment a long
time that his kids were going to get
an education,” Pompey said. “He’s
disagreed with some of the things
that he (Driesell) did.”
But Pompey said that Wade feels
Len Bias was an adult and he made a
decision to take the cocaine that
killed him.
“He has made a statement that he
would be tougher on (drug use),”
Pompey said.
The state prosecutor investigating
Bias’ death charged that Driesell did
too little to discourage drug use and
gave insufficient attention to the aca
demic needs of his players.

Hurricanes play with fear of losing
CORAL GABLES, Fla. (AP) —
Part of the reason the Miami Hurri
canes are 7-0 and atop the national
rankings is they enter every game
expecting to win and play as if fear
ing to lose.
The Hurricanes’ least impressive
performance came in the opener
against Florida, the one team they al
ways are fired up to play. Miami won
that game 23-15 although Testa-
verde was slowed by a nasty cold.
That easy part of the schedule
ends Saturday when the Hurricanes
face 20th-ranked Florida State, 4-2-
1, in the Orange Bowl. Then they
play at Pittsburgh, and close with
Tulsa at home.
“We can’t go into any game think
ing that we’re the better team,” star
quarterback Vinnie Testaverde said,
“because we don’t know if the other
team knows that we’re a better
team.”
The Hurricanes waste little time
proving their point. They have out-
scored their opponents 105-3 in the
first quarter.
Three weeks later, the Hurricanes
manhandled then-No.l Oklahoma
28-16 in the Orange Bowl. Only a
last minute touchdown by the
Sooners made the score respectable.
Equally impressive have been lop
sided victories over teams Miami
should beat easily — 61-11 over
Texas Tech, 34-0 over Northern Illi
nois, 58-14 over West Virginia, 45-
13 over Cincinnati.
Defensive tackle Jerome Brown
sometimes rankles Coach Jimmy
Johnson with his outlandish
statements, but he sounds like a
coach’s dream when he explains Mi
