McLeod enjoying few
good times with Mavs
DALLAS (AP) — Could they pay
you enough to coach the Dallas Mav
ericks?
John MacLeod must at times wish
he were still back at Oklahoma
coaching the Sooners, as he did for
six years.
The indefinite suspension of Roy
Tarpley in the past week serves as
another painful reminder that there
is only so much a basketball coach
can control. Chemical dependency
isn’t one of them.
The Tarpley grenade finally hit
Dallas, just as those who had seen
him out sampling the city’s nightlife
had predicted it eventually would.
His arrest Wednesday night on
charges of driving while intoxicated
and shoving a police officer was the
final straw for the ASAP Family and
Treatment Center in Van Nuys,
Calif.
On Thursday, they suspended
him indefinitely without pay (some
$15,000 a game). If blood tests indi
cate cocaine, he’ll be suspended for
life from the NBA.
You’ve never seen a madder
coach than MacLeod the day the
Tarpley time bomb went off. He was
shaking so hard he dropped a folder
while he.tried to talk to reporters.
“Darn right I’m upset,” said Mac
Leod, the closest he ever comes to a
four-letter word. “Heck no, I don’t
like it. It’s just so discouraging.”
MacLeod ought to be used to it by
now, coaching this team. Recall, Tar
pley was suspended last year and
missed most of the season. There
also was James Donaldson’s knee in
jury that doomed the Mavs to miss
ing the playoffs by a game.
It was also the year of the big
Mark Aguirre snit. He finally was
traded away to the Detroit Pistons,
who promptly won a world title with
him coming off the bench.
Dallas management did no hand
springs extending MacLeod’s con
tract. In fact, after he turned down
the New York Knicks job, they
thanked him by intimating that he
had better win big this season.
The Mavs’ stumbling start this
year had the rumor mill churning
that he wouldn’t make it until
Christmas before the ax fell.
The Tarpley cataclysm at least in
sured MacLeod’s job for the rest of
the year. How could you fire some
body who has been through what
he’s been through?
It’s ironic, anyway, how fast Mac
Leod’s star fell in Dallas. Two years
ago the Mavs stretched the eventual
champion Los Angeles Lakers to a
seventh game of the NBA Western
Conference title series.
Then he barely made it through
last season without owner Donald
Carter writing his termination
check.
MacLeod said he believes Tar-
pley’s departure may pull the team
closer together. Without an outside
influence, he thinks the team may
concentrate harder and quit a self
ish, ball-hogging brand of basketball
that had been evident in some
games.
Of course, Tarpley’s incredible
talents will be missed. He was lead
ing the NBA in rebounding when he
was suspended. It will be interesting
to see who picks up the rebounding
pace for the club.
MacLeod might even turn out to
be coach of the year if he could get
the Mavs into the playoffs through
the first and second rounds.
Darn if that wouldn’t make a good
story.
Manley’s suspension
no surprise to Skins
WASHINGTON (AP) — The
Washington Redskins knew too
well that the child-like frailties of
Dexter Manley made him sus
ceptible to dependency on mood-
altering drugs.
The Redskins were hoping that
Manley could overcome his ad
diction to drugs, but the reve
lation that he had tested positive
for cocaine hardly came as a sur
prise.
Instead, Manley was cited for
violating the NFL’s substance
abuse policy for a third time,
earning an indefinite suspension
from the league. It is the opinion
of former Redskins general man
ager Bobby Beathard that it was
only a matter of time before Man-
ley — a human time-bomb — ex
ploded.
“I’m not surprised and I don’t
think the people at Redskin Park
were surprised,” Beathard said
Sunday on NBC’s NFL Live. “I
think it wasn’t ‘if this happened
to Dexter, it was just ‘when’ it was
going to happen to Dexter.”
Beathard, who resigned his job
with the Redskins earlier this
year, said team officials were get
ting fed up with Manley’s off-the-
field antics. And, although Man-
ley had a team-high nine sacks
this season, Beathard said the
Washington hierarchy had some
what soured on his play of late.
“For the last couple of seasons,
they haven’t been happy with
Dexter, from either a player’s
standpoint or a personal stand
point,” Beathard said. “His er
ratic behavior has even led a lot of
people at Redskin Park to say
‘How can we get rid of Dexter,
we’ve got to trade him, get some
body to take his place.’
“His play has been declining.
After 10 games this year, the guy
has 12 tackles,” Beathard added.
“From a football standpoint, I
think the Redskins are better off
without Dexter Manley.”
Manley thrived on the atten
tion he received as a football
player and a source said he has
still not accepted his suspension,
saying the test was erroneous.
The source said Manley, despite
evidence to the contrary, denies
he used drugs this season.
Since joining the Redskins in
1981, his mouth has drawn him
as many headlines as his sacks.
But the biggest headlines came in
in 1987, when he entered a drug-
rehabilitation clinic; in 1988,
when he received a 30-day sus
pension for cocaine-use; and this
weekend, when he was banished
from the league.
Months ago, Manley and cor-
nerback Barry Wilburn (who was
suspended this month) already
were being eyed by Washington
coach Joe Gibbs, who was well
aware of the problems both faced
because of drugs.
“I kind of knew when we were
coming into the season,” Gibbs
said. “I knew that there was a po
tential and I knew where the
problems could be and maybe
we’ve lived with it for a while.”
As it turns out, Manley will
have to live with his suspension.
But his attorney, Bob Woolf, is
confident that his troubled client
can return if he can recover from
a suspension that seemingly sur
prised only himself.
“It’s a trumatic shock for him,”
Woolf said. “One minute he’s a
Washington Redskin, the next
he’s banned. But I’m convinced
that he can return and play.”
NFL Commissioner Paul Tag-
liabue, speaking on NFL Live
about Manley’s possible reinstate
ment in November 1990, said,
“First of all, Dexter Manley would
have to stay away from drugs and
other abusive substances. He’s
achieved a lot, has been a leader
in things such as special educa
tion, and that would be a factor
that I would take into account.”
Strange, O’Meara
team up in golf win
THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. (AP)
— Curtis Strange and Mark
O’Meara combined for another al-
most-flawless round of golf, shoot
ing a 10-under-par 62 Sunday to win
the RMCC Invitational at the Sher
wood Country Club.
The pair, who led from start to
finish in the 54-hole event, finished
at 26-under-par 190, six strokes
ahead of Bernhard Langer and John
Mahaffey, and Tom Weiskopf and
Lanny Wadkins.
Two more teams, Greg Norman
and Jack Nicklaus and Ray Floyd
and Chip Beck, were another shot
back.
With the 10 teams playing a
scramble format, there werea a total
of 40 birdies and two eagles on the
front nine alone.
Norman, who organized the $1
million tourney, and Nicklaus, who
designed the brand-new 7,025-yard
course, combined tor the lowest
round of the day, shooting a 14-un
der-par 58.
But Strange and O’Meara, who
played the entire 54-hole event with
out a bogey, blended their games
perfectly — adding a second straight
62 to their opening-round 66.
Entering the final round eight
strokes off the pace, Wadkins and
Weiskopf combined for a final-
round 60. The pair birdied all but
two holes on the front nine and had
five more birdies on the back.
They narrowly missed an eagle on
the par-5 16th, after Weiskopf put
his second shot eight feet from the
cup. After his putt broke left, Wad
kins’ try skipped over the cup and
they had to settle for birdie.
Langer and Mahaffey, in second
place after the first round, rode a
strong back nine, including an eagle
on the 11th, to a final-round 59.
