Dedicated To Coaching What makes up a college coach who serves the same school 22 seasons? Dedication, enjoyment of the job and a fullfillment of what you are doing. I love my profession and I get a lot of satisfaction out of teachng youth the fundamentals of i basketball and giving them a chance to play on a ' major college varsity team, he answered. During the 22 seasons (counting 1971), ' Watts has coached more than 300 athletes . . . including 11 Dating back to 1949-3- 0 list inwith Joe Nelson the cludes Mel Hutchins (1931) Roland Minson )(1931); Joe Richey (1953); Dean Larson (1954); !Terry Tebbs (1956); Tom Steiuke (1967); John .Fairchild (1965); Dick Nemelka (19G3); Neil Roberts (1967); and Craig Raymond (1967). Whats the best team he ever coached, Stai 'was asked. After pondering a few seconds he replied that it would be difficult to answ er because ach team is so different. But youd have to rate 1951 team with Hutchins and Minson as one of the , best along with the more recent 1966 and 1967 ;th teams which featured Nemelka and Jeff Congdon las. probably the best crowd pleasers), and Roberts and Raymond, both St. Joseph's Probably Best As for the best teams the Cougars have ever played, the top billing would probably have to go to St. Josephs the year the Philadelphia team was ranked third in the nation. They came to Utah to meet us in a game and we showed .them how' to play basketball, Watts quipped. r Stan is ranked. 16tli nationally among actie s major college basketball coaches based on ; records. He also ranks high among coaches with .continued service in a profession where the average tenure is about seven years. Adolph Rupp heads the list of active coaches Vith winning percentages of more than .700.

This is one reason we try to schedule a ; holiday tournament to let the players 'visit other parts of the nation and also to display BYU prowess outside the Intermountain area, he explained. . And this is probably the biggest reason we een are not in faor of plajing in a Utah classic it were more profitable, Watts said. He noted that someday Weber State will un- doubtedly be included on the BYU schedule . . . but probably not for a few jears. J; Presently we have nothing to gain by playing tjVeber, either financially for the school or prestige I for our team. Weber has a very fine ball team and 'it would give them prestige to beat us, but what prestige would be gained if we were to beat them, jie asked. wh r n. fA"- ,. -- ,Ki O&'SP says computer expert Glenn Scharp.
