(AP) — For the Golden State Warriors, win ning on Wednesday depends on stopping San Antonio center Da vid Robinson. For the Spurs, it's a question of regaining their drive. Sports Mail Coach's philosophy kills 12th Man Their best-of-5 NBA Western Conference playoff series began with San Antonio wearing down Golden State in Game 1. But it changed course when the War riors" relatively small lineup stopped the bigger Spurs in Game 2. With the series tied 1-1 and moving to Oakland, the Spurs can't play the pivotal third game the way they did Game 2, coach Larry Brown said. "Some of the guys had great efforts, but I don't think as a team it was real good," Brown said. "Certainly not for a playoff game and for a team trying to win an NBA championship. "We've just got to play like this is the most important thing in our lives." Spurs starting forward Sean Elliott, who suffered a broken nose in the second period Satur day, is expected to wear a pro tective face guard and play Wednesday. Elliott's absence in the second half hurt. Brown said. Chris Mullin, the player Elliott was guarding, scored 21 of his 27 points in the second half after El liott left the game. "Losing Sean took 15 points away from us, plus it kills you with flexibility because he was out and (David) Wingate couldn't play," Brown said. host's berth in SWC position In four-team Wingate, a reserve guard, re ceived treatment for a pulled hamstring Sunday . He was ex pected to play in Game 3. The Spurs-Warriors series will Wednesday in Oakland. resume EDITOR: Over the past few weeks I have heard many opinions about th the issue of the 12th Man Kickoff Squad, and 1 thought 1 would state my own. As a former member of the squad, I can give some insight on the problems that led to this action by R.C. Slocum. First, the kickoff scheme set up by the coaches promoted a conservative style of play. Contrary to popular belief, the play ers are not "kamikazies" that run down the field in reckless abandon. Each player has a responsibility to do a particular job, Under Slocum's system, each player was responsible for an "alley" an the field five yards wide. This can be contrasted by the system under Jackie Sherill where four players had the re sponsibility of going to the ball carrier, and tne rest of the play ers were "alley guys." The system under Sherill promoted ag gressive play which the 12th man was famous for. This point can be illustrated by comparing the statistics between the last year Sherill coached and the first year Slocum coached. Theav erage jumped from 14.7 yards per kick to 22.1 yards per kick and this was a team that returned most of ‘the lettermen and starters from the previous year. The second reason for the demise of the squad was the atti hide of the coaches toward non-scholarship players. We were treated like "step-children" compared to the other players. The coaches talked down to us like we were scared, stupid people that lacked athletic ability. In reality we were smart, educated college students who had played many years of high school football. Many of the players had played for smaller colleges We were never given the confidence we needed to perform at the level of competition necessary to be successful. I enjoyed playing football for Texas A&M, but was disap d when I was v\ pointed when l was watching the Texas game and Holiday Bowl from the stands instead of the playing field. It saddens me to see another great tradition at Texas A&M fade away. Steve Bullard' 1 The Battalion is interested in hearing from its readers and wel comes all letters to the editor.
