Rudy T recovering from fatigifc B „
HOUSTON (AP) — Houston Rockets coach the doctor’s advice
TOM JANOVICH
Rudy Tomjanovich is taking a month’s vacation
from the Olympic qualifying tournament to recov
er from exhaustion, but he’s not
giving up his duties as coach of
the U.S. Men’s Basketball Team
for the 2000 games.
Philadelphia 76ers coach Larry
Brown, an assistant Olympics
coach, will replace Tomjanovich
for the qualifying tournament in
Puerto Rico from July 14-25, but
Tomjanovich hopes to retake the
reins next year in Sydney,
Australia.
Tomjanovich spent Friday and Saturday night
in the hospital after experiencing dizziness and
weakness. Team physician Jim Muntz diagnosed
Tomjanovich with extreme physical exhaustion
and suggested the coach take a month off.
“We have advised rest, and in light of this he
will not be able to coach the USA men's senior
national team in the pre-Olympic Tournament of
the Americas,” Muntz said.
Tomjanovich reluctantly decided he should take
“I’ve spent a couple of days in the hospital
conferred with my doctor and the prescripti:
three or four weeks of rest,” Tomjanovich|
“I’m really disappointed, and I’m going toi
best to recharge myself and get ready
upcoming season.”
Tomjanovich appeared tired when he mait;
announcement late last night.
“It’s really a great honor and something!^
looking forward to,” Tomjanovich said. “Botf|
overworked myself and 1 find myself reallyp.mj'i'ov
cally and mentally exhausted.” IJ sa
The Rockets coach has been working JLbi
constantly the past two years. pentei
When NBA players boycotted the 1998 Ivtunity a
Championships of Basketball in Athens, Cm in tl
Tomjanovich led an underdog group of mij " *
league players to a bronze medal.
Brown, Purdue’s Gene Beady and Kentiioj
Tubby Smith are assistants for the U.S. ir.|
team. Brown has worked on three USA Baskfjj
coaching staffs.

It
a-i A l
All-Stars
Continued from Page 3
changes should be made in the
way the team is comprised.
While the fans should still
have some say in who is on the
team, it should be on who they
want to see on the team, not who
starts the game.
The starters should be left up
to the managers so the deserving
people get to start and fans will
still get to see the people they
want to see in the game.
Voting practices of fans should
also be changed. In Cleveland,
fans were allowed to vote multi
ple times per game and since
Cleveland sells out practically
every game, their players had a
decided advantage over other
teams.
If it is a real voting process,
regulate it as such. Hand out bal
lots as fans enter the game, that
way each fan gets only one ballot
and one vote.
If these changes were already
in place, here’s how this year’s
American League All-Star team
would look like:
Catcher
Fans’ Choice: Ivan “Pudge”
Rodriguez, Texas Rangers
My Choice: Rodriguez
Rodriguez outdistanced his
next highest vote getter, the
Indians Sandy Alomar, Jr., by
250,000 votes. Alomar has played
in only 22 games in an injury
plagued year, while Rodriguez,
the best catcher of his generation,
if not ever, is on pace to set
career highs in home runs and
RBIs, while remaining the best
defensive catcher in the game,
throwing out over 50% of
attempted base stealers.
First Base
Fans’ Choice: Jim Thome,
Cleveland Indians
My Choice: Rafael Palmeiro,
Texas Rangers
In probably the most ridicu
lous example of how lame the
voting process is, Thome
received over 675,000 more votes
than Palmeiro.
All Palmeiro has done this year
is have a batting average 76 points
higher and a slugging percentage
105 points higher than Thome,
with seven more home runs and
27 more RBI. There should be no
reason why Palmeiro shouldn’t be
the starter in Boston.
1999 AL All-Star
Team
C Ivan Rodriguez
IB Jim Thome
2B Roberto Alomar
3B Cal Ripken Jr.
SS Nomar Garciaparra
OF Ken Griffey Jr.
OF Manny Ramirez
OF Kenny Lofton
DH Jose Canseco
Second Base
Fans’ Choice: Roberto Alomar,
Cleveland Indians
My Choice: Alomar
At least the Indians fans got
this one right. Alomar has clearly
been the best second baseman in
the league this year. A change of
teams and a reuniting with his
brother Sandy has helped him
regain his gold glove form and
kept him (and his bodily fluids)
in line.
Third Base
Fans’ Choice: Cal Ripken Jr.,
Baltimore Indians
My Choice: Tony Fernandez,
Toronto Blue Jays
Cal Ripken is a great player —
just not as good as Tony
Fernandez has been this year.
Ripken went on the disabled
list for the first time in his career
