Thanks Greenleaf
Your Outpatient Program helped me to stop
drinking without leaving work or my family!
"It all started with a few drinks
after work. Before I knew it, I
was drinking more than I real
ized. Then I was arrested for a
DWI and spent the night in jail. I
promised never to put my family
through that pain again — so I
called Greenleaf."
Greenleaf s Outpatient Program offered Jim
an affordable solution to his drinking problem.
Because it was “outpatient” treatment, Jim
could continue to work and live with his
family. Greenleaf helped Jim overcome his
drinking problem and taught him how to
better deal with the daily pressures he faced.
In addition, Greenleafs Family Program
helped Jim’s entire family better understand
his problem.
Greenleaf helped bring Jim’s family closer
together and the. Outpatient Program was
covered by his insurance.

Louisville spurns Nil;
Crum angry at NCM
LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — The
Louisville Cardinals, denied a
chance to defend their national bas
ketball title in the NCAA tourna
ment, spurned post-season play
Monday by rejecting a National Invi
tation Tournament bid.
Coach Denny Crum strode onto
the playing floor of Crawford Gym
nasium to announce the decision on
the NIT and denounce the NCAA’s
move the day before.
“I’d like the NCAA selection com
mittee to be held accountable for
their actions. I would like a public
response,” Crum said.
Stephen F. Austin received the
last NIT bid.
Crum said Louisville was asked to
play in the NIT, but the players
voted only 7-6 in favor of playing.
“The coaches felt if it was not a
unanimous decision by the players,
we would not be able to do our best,”
he said.
“A lot of the players need the aca
demic concentration of not going to
a tournament, and since we can’t go
to the NCAA ...”
Crum called for “an absolute dead
certain formula” for NCAA tourna
ment selection, which he said would
have put Louisville ahead of several
schools in the final 64.
The Metro Conference’s auto
matic bid to the NCAA Tournament
was forfeited Sunday when Mem
phis State, on probation, defeated
Louisville 75-52 for the Metro Tour
nament title. No conference team re
ceived an at-large NCAA bid.
In what he called “the most5
gerated case,” Crum asked
NCAA to explain for “me and
thousands of Louisville fans
they could justify selecting |
Tennessee.”
“Our schedule was almost
difficult as theirs. We also plated
the road, Indiana, Purdue,Syr*
UCLA . . . most of them Top
teams, on the load. The mosti
cult team Middle Tennesseept,
. . was Michigan,” he said.“Tie
no comparison in diffkultyofsc
ule. There’s no comparison a
leagues.
“Could it possibly be beaux
commissioner of the OVCJim
ney, is on that selection conn
Or is it just that they did notdo
homework? I would like an
from them.”
Delaney did not immediately
ment. OVC spokesman Jon\i
said he responded earlier to
Crum statements by saying ht
only one of eight selection ci
tee members and did not liavtj
power to include or elitnii
team.
As for the NIT, Crum called
great tournament.”
“But our feeling was if out
did not feel 100 percent in fai
participating they would not

wouldn’t be the representatin
would want to be,” he said.
It will be the first time inC
16-year tenure at Louisville tit
Cardinals have not been in a
season tournament.
SWC sees NCAA bids'
as $400,000 surpriseVa
DALLAS (AP) — A year ago, the
Southwest Conference figured it
would get three invitations to the
NCAA Tournament and received
This year, the SWC received a
$400,000 surprise from the NCAA
Selections Committee — three teams
in the 64-school field instead of one.
Texas A&M, Texas Christian and
Houston received the coveted bids
after it was feared there would be
only one SWC representative. Each
school receives $200,000 for a first-
round game, which it must share
with its SWC bretheren.
Two weeks ago most SWC coaches
a g,
were convinced that regular season
champion TCU would be the only
31 t
school to get an invitation. Then the
eighth-seeded Texas Aggies came
along, upset the Horned Frogs,
Texas Tech, and Baylor to win the
SWC Post-Season Basketball Classic
and earn an automatic bid.
TCU, with 23 victories including
road triumphs over LSU and Okla
homa, did indeed get an NCAA bid
as the fourth seed in the East Re
gional. The Horned Frogs will play

Robinson unanimous choicf ^Alabama
for AP All-America squad

■•Missouri
NEW YORK (AP) — David Rob
inson, the 7-foot-1 center who has
been responsible for Navy’s sudden
success over the past three seasons, is
the only unanimous selection on the
1986-87 Associated Press college
basketball All-America team an
nounced Monday.
Also chosen to the first team were
Steve Alford of Indiana, the only re
peater; Kenny Smith of North Caro
lina, Reggie Williams of Georgetown
and Danny Manning of Kansas, a ju
nior and the only underclassman.
The team was chosen by a 10-
member AP panel of sports writers.
Robinson, an outstanding
shooter, rebbunder and shot-
blocker, led the Midshipmen to the
Colonial Athletic Conference title
three straight years and into the
NCAA playoffs each year. Last year
Navy made it into the NCAA final
eight, showcasing Robinson, and this
season carry a 26-5 record into the
tournament.
Robinson, who averged 59 per
cent from the field, averaged 27.5
points, 11.8 rebounds and blocked
142 shots — best in the nation — this
season. He is the only player in
NCAA history to score 2,500 points,
grab 1,300 rebounds and shoot 60
percent from the field during his ca
reer.
In four seasons, he has scored
2,619 points, grabbed 1,301 re
bounds and compiled a 64 percent
field-goal percentage.
“I’m the only one who can stop me
from scoring,” Robinson said this
season.
Despite having a two-year naval
commitment — reduced from five
years because of his height — Robin
son is a likely No. 1 draft choice in
the NBA draft. He tied his career
