Robinson must stay
in Navy for 6 months
WASHINGTON (AP) — Basketball
star David Robinson must fulfill his obli
gation to the Navy before he can begin
his pro career with the San Antonio
Spurs and thus will not be playing in the
NBA this season, the secretary of the
Navy ruled Thursday.
Robinson, an ensign in the Navy and
in the middle of his second year of active
duty, said he accepted the ruling by
Navy Secretary William Ball III and
looked forward “to serving the remain
ing six months on active duty ... with
pride.’’
An All-American while at the U.S.
Naval Academy, the 7-foot-1 Robinson
played with the U.S. Olympic team this
summer. After the Olympics, he peti
tioned Ball to be released from active
duty before completing his required two-
year service commitment.
In return, Robinson suggested the
Navy increase his obligation to the Naval
Reserve.
Robinson has signed an eight-year,
$26 million contract with the Spurs and
hoped to begin his NBA career this year
instead of waiting until next season. His
two-year commitfnent to the Navy
doesn’t expire until May 17, 1989.
The Spurs traveled to Topeka, Kan.,
Thursday for an exhibition game and
were not immediately available for com
ment on the ruling.
Ball, however, decided he was not
going to tamper with the current Navy
policies regarding active-duty service
men and professional sports endeavors
by providing Robinson with a special
exemption, said one source, who asked
not to be named.
The Navy declined to discuss Ball’s
decision beyond acknowledging that the
secretary had spoken by telephone with
Robinson Thursday.
Robinson, currently assigned to the
Navy’s Trident submarine base at Kings
Bay, Ga., as a civil engineering officer,
was not available for direct comment.
But his agent, Lee Fentress, released a
statement in which Robinson complained
about “inaccurate press reports” and
said he was “proud to have been able to
serve in the Navy over the past 17
months.”
“On Oct. 5, I wrote to the secretary of
the Navy proposing that 1 increase my re
serve duty commitment an additional
three years in lieu of the remaining six
months on active duty,” he said.
“As such, I was not trying to avoid a
commitment, but rather to increase my
commitment if the interests of the Navy
could be well served by such. I respect
the secretary’s decision and appreciate
their time and consideration.”
Naval Academy graduates normally
are required to serve on active duty for a
minimum of five years. Robinson’s com
mitment was cut in 1987, however, by
then Navy Secretary John Lehman, in
part because the player had grown so
tall.
His height prevented him from serving
in so-called unrestricted line specialities
— such as aviation, submarines or sur
face warfare — after graduation.
Robinson could not have entered the
Naval Academy at his present size, but
was 6-7 when he was accepted for ad
mission his senior year in high school.
By the time of his freshman season, he
was up to 6-9, and he continued to grow
steadily through college.
In 1985, during his sophomore year,
Robinson decided he wanted to stay at
the academy and earn his degree. He
could have left after the sophomore year
without any service obligation.
Lehman, in deciding Robinson’s fu
ture with the Navy, ruled he should serve
two years on active duty, four years in
the active reserve and two years in the in
active reserve.
Lehman was succeeded in 1987 by
James Webb, a former Marine officer
who overturned Lehman’s approach to
pro athletes by ruling that as long as an
officer was on active duty, the Navy
would not grant any special dispensa
tions to play on pro teams.
According to the sources, Ball de
cided he was comfortable with Webb’s
ruling and was not inclined to begin
changing policies again in any event.
High school team loses
15 starters to grades
SAN ANTONIO (AP) — San Antonio
Memorial High School’s football team,
loser of 47 straight games, now has
fallen victim to the academic game with
15 of 22 starters declared ineligible for
Friday’s game because of poor grades.
School officials announced Wednes
day that 15 starters are ineligible under
the state’s no-pass, no-play rules.
The Minutemen are 0-7 for the season
and 0-2 in district play and have lost 47
straight, the country’s longest losing
streak. There are 20 players available for
Friday’s game against Pleasanton.
“It kills us. I can’t imagine us lining
up and trying to play Friday,” said Me
morial coach Glenn Keller, in his first
year at the school. “We lost our quar
terback, our JV quarterback, and our
backup varsity quarterback is injured.
“I’m about to go out (to practice) and
see if we at least have a kid who can take
a snap,” he told the San Antonio Light
Thursday.
The players available for Friday’s
game include 14 sophomores without
varsity playing time.
It was the hardest the Minutemen have
been hit since the controversial education
reform law, House Bill 72, went into ef
fect in 1985. Under the no-pass, no-play
provisions, a student can not participate
in extracurricular activities for six weeks
if he fails one or more classes in a grad
ing period. The first grading period
ended last week, and ineligibility takes
effect Friday.
Memorial was, by far, the hardest-hit
local school. The average San Antonio
varsity of 42 players lost only two mem
bers.
Edgewood Athletic Director Domingo
Rangel Jr. said Wednesday that Memo
rial will play on Friday and will finish
out the year.
“As long as we’ve got 11 kids to put
on the field, we’re going to do it,”
Rangel said. “I don’t believe in it (for
feiture). The kids this year, they’ll hang
tough. They’re strong. It’s a letdown,
but I don’t think the kids will crumble.”
Memorial would have to pay Pleas
anton $500 if they forfeit the game. With
three games remaining on the schedule,
it would cost the Edgewood School Dis
trict $1,500 to cancel the remainder of
the season.
“I wouldn’t be smiling myself in that
situation,” Rangel said. “It’s difficult,
but he (Keller) is a good coach. That’s
why he’s here. I have faith in him.”
Coaches have criticized the bill as be
ing too tough on students who participate
in extracurricular activities. Some
coaches have advocated shorter ineli
gibility periods or using an average grade
to determine eligibility.
