Grandfather Mountain and
Blowing Rock Mountain. In
short, it is a long way from
the pros.
The school’s new head bas
ketball coach is Press Mara
vich. A few years ago it ap
peared that Press and his
offspring extraordinaire,
Pete, might enter the pros
together, as the father-son
duo that they were at Louisi
ana State University—and go
for several million dollars.
Well, Pete went alone, in
1970. Press says that for him
“the break never came.”
Two years after Pete left
LSU (the Maravtiches ar
rived on the Baton Rouge
campus together when Pete
was a freshman) Press was
fired. “I was shocked,” he
said.
Press Maravich was never
a big winner, went the time
honored complaint. He was
also accused of not recruit
ing well, especially in the
state of Louisiana.
“Football is king there,”
said Press. “The state has
a population of three million
and it has six million foot
ball seats. That’s a joke peo
ple tell but it’s like the
truth.”
He said he needed time to
help develop talent in Louisi
ana. And the fancy presence
of Pete had helped. “Baskets
popped up in driveways,”
said the LSU publicity direc
tor. “And a lot of kids who
used to want to be tight ends
now wanted to be Pistol
Pete.”
Press Maravich had a 3-20
record his first season. (Pete
was on the freshman team
that year and 4,000 fans
would watch his game and
then about 3,500 would not
stay to see the varsity.) He
was 75-6 the next five years.
“That wasn’t good enough,
I guess,” said Press. “Win
ning big is everything. It’s
terrible as hell. The fans
have got to realize that some
win and some lose. Like in
the Olympics, nobody re
members the guys who won
the bronze medals. All they
remember are the ones who
won the shiny, gold medals.
Those are the biggies.
“And our recruiting prac
tices are so damn evil. Ev
erything is so expensive. So
you’ve got to have better
teams to draw more fans to
make more money. You buy
a jock strap, for instance;
it costs a buck now where
a couple years ago it cost 65
cents. It’s like buying a gold
jock strap.
“They’ve got to get a dif
ferent philosophy. There’s
got to be a little more com
passion shown for the
coach.”
Appalachian State, rarely
even a modest basketball
threat, seems to the casual
observer like an exile for
Maravich.
“No, it’s the greatest thing
to happen to me,” Maravich
says. “It’s a chance to build
from the bottom up. This is
going to be our first year in
the Southern Conference—
Furman, VMI, The Citadel,
you know, that gang. So it’ll
be awfully tough, since we
don’t have the good ball
players, yet.
“But look what we have
here. We’ve got 8,200 stu
dents and a new fieldhouse
that seats 8,200. We’ve got
the biggest physical educa
tion school this side of the
Mississippi. The only football
field in North Carolina with
AstroTurf. Hey, and the
scenery is breathtaking —
makes your eyes pop right
out of your sockets. We’ve
got all these mountains and
golf courses. And it’s the only
place in America that is
ecologically healthy. There
is .0001 of a particle for
every one thousand cubic
yards of air. Pistol Pete
came up to visit from At
lanta. He was breathing such
clean air for the first time
that he started coughing.”
Pistol Pete. Some say it
was the son who got his
father the LSU job and his
son who helped his father
lose the job.
“I guess when Pete went
to the pros 1 missed him an
awful lot,” said Maravich.
“When you coach a great
basketball player in college
■*> v
A
Press Maravich
you’re always excited for the
next play. What will he do?
The double-shuffle this? The
double-jake that? And it was
challenging because you’d
have to see what the other
team’s special defense for
him would be — and then
you devise a special offense.
I think that’s what made
Butch van Breda Kolff leave
Princeton to coach the pros.
After Bill Bradley played for
him, he was frustrated.
“And I was maybe uncon
sciously comparing my other
players with Pete the last
two years. If a kid didn’t
match up — and how could
he?—l maybe turned sour on
him. I’ve had a couple years
now to get over it. I’ve con
quered it; I’m sure I have.”
