Achilafu, a sophomore general studies major, spikes the volleyball during an eipi' tion of current and former Texas A&M players Tuesday as part of the 140-participanM labo volleyball camp. . In respc 7 cplum A tale of two coache No-nonsense approach typical of Spurs' leader I have ■ this ipeechh r I was imn que ^ompan _ _____ 6 mov( Gregg Popovich - SanAntc1° ns for '■ pie t 'e w Coaching bio SAN ANTONIO (AP) — This was supposed to be a good day for the San Antonio Spurs. It was December 1996 and David Robinson was returning from an injury. Leave it to Gregg Popovich to kill the mood. Popovich, the general manager, fired coach Bob Hill before that night’s game in Phoenix. He appointed himself coach, and it was hardly a popular decision. “It was made with a lot of thought and a lot of counsel and a lot of heartache,” Popovich explained at the time, admitting the scenario looked “quite self- serving.” He was never one to let on that he worried what others thought of him. The same holds true today. As San Antonio heads into the NBA Finals today against the New York Knicks, Popovich is doing his job in typical no-nonsense fash ion. Sometimes brash, always dis ciplined, he is leading the Spurs further in the playoffs than they’ve ever gone before. “Pop has stayed on us,” guard Mario Elie said. “Pop just wants us to get better every day, and he’s been doing a good job.” The way the Spurs marched into the championship series — losing only one game to Minnesota in the first round then sweeping the Los Angeles Lakers and Portland Trail Blazers — demonstrated Popovich’s work manlike approach. Popovich struggled through a public relations nightmare after fir ing Hill, then led the Spurs to the franchise’s worst record that sea son (20-62). He redeemed himself in the summer of 1997 when the Spurs won the NBA Draft lottery. Tim Duncan was the top prize. With the 7-footer from Wake Forest on board and Robinson recuperating, the Spurs were on the mend and on the way toward winning again. In the 1997-98 season, the he spot d do so I I can tudent: JP right Spurs went 56-26 and league record for best tiirwl in a season.

Van Gundy masters art of survh NEW YORK (AP) —Jeff Van Gundy got around to telling stories the other day, and rather than spinning some tale about one of Pat Riley’s speeches or his days at Providence with Rick Pitino, he told one about himself when he was just out of college. It was 1985, and his mother had helped him get a $5-an-hour job as a teacher’s assistant for troubled youngsters at one of the elementary schools in her upstate New York district. He went there in the morning, then coached a high school team at McQuaid Jesuit in the afternoons. On his first morning of work, Van Gundy saw a 10-year-old boy walk into school with a brick and throw it through the window as he yelled “I hate school!” “Survival,” Van Gundy recalled with a laugh. “It was a job of survival.” Fourteen years later, that job description has remained the same. Van Gundy has never been as much of a survivor as he was this season, when Madison Square Garden president Dave Checketts addressed a rift in the organization by sparing Van Gundy’s job and demoting general manager Ernie Grunfeld, who had built the team. Coaching bio New York Jeff Van Gundy Born: 1/19/62 College: Nazareth Coaching record: 140 - 97 (.591) 1998-99 record: 27 - 23 (.540) Replaced Don Nelson as NY coach ... . Former assistant to current NBA head coaches Nelson, Rick Pitino, Pat Riley. Grunfeld’s offseason acquisi tions of Latrell Sprewell and Marcus Camby were widely unpopular when the team was 21-21, in 10th place in the conference and in dan ger of missing the playoffs. The day Checketts cho* Gundy over Grunfeld, het clear that the coach, too," shaky ground. But with juS • games left in the regular sei figured the team had a chance of salvaging so® : with Van Gundy than withe: Now, two months Im Knicks are in the NBA Finakj improbable success is well . mented and Van Gundy called a genius. Despite a season-ending to Patrick Ewing after Gainf an injury to Larry Johnson" Game 6, the Knicks bell Indiana Pacers in the £} Conference finals. “To me, it’s not a f> run,” he said. “If this waV mal season, we would haq one of the higher seeded and we still feel we’d bel/ because of the way this"/ was set up, through no one | it appears to be more magk ; it is. It’s not magic, it's play.”
