Show Page 6 June 25. 1980 Sun Chronicle, Sun Times, Ben Lomond Beacon, Clearfield Courier Dick Motta returning for basketball camps By Keith Duncan Dick Motta, coach of the former world champion Washington Bullets, will be in Ogden during the month of August to help in the conducting of the Dick Motta Basketball Camps. Motta, who coached at Weber Junior College and at the time the school became a major college, expressed excitement about coming back to the Ogden area for the camp. Im pleased that the people back in Ogden would give me the opportunity to come back and visit them and conduct this basketball camp, said Motta. The basketball camp includes two y sessions. The Boys session begins August 4th and runs through August 9th. The Girls camp begins on August 11th and ends August 16th. This years camp will be staged at Ogden High School on Harrison Blvd. The basketball-relateopportunity extends to every youngster who is interested in learning and practicing every phase of basketball to receive instructions from coaches who know the game and more importantly, have been schooled in the art of teaching. Dick Williams, who is helping to conduct the camps reported, Each camper will be taught the techniques and patterns practiced by the top six-da- d stars in Basketball-shooting- , drib- bling, passing, defense, rebounding, setting up plays, action patterns and fast breaks. Williams further stated, Both the youngster just learning the game and the experienced player devoted to improving his skills will benefit from the emphasis on fundamentals stressed by Coach Motta. Players will be organized according to their own ability . . . daily game competition will give everyone ample opportunity to play and improve. Every camper will be encouraged to perform to their capabilities but not beyond their physical abilities. Learning basketball from Coach Motta and the guest instructors presents an opportunity that no youngster interested in the game should pass up. Dick is a small-towproduct from Midvale, Utah. His first coaching job was at Grace (Idaho) Junior High, Where he was After a two-yestint with the Air Force, he took over the Grace Senior High program and, over a three-yea- r span, posted a 3 brilliant record. Then it was on to Weber Junior College for a 22-- 2 season. When Weber J.C. became Weber State College, Motta piloted the Wildcats to a 122-3- 1 listing in major college competition. He was a surprise choice as coach of the Chicago Bulls in 1968 and his accomplishments in the Windy City represent a unique chapter in NBA history. He is one of only four NBA coaches to achieve four consecutive seasons and he did it without a Bill Russell or Kareem Abdul-JabbaDave Cowens. In 1971, the first of his campaigns, he was named the NBAs Coach of the Year. Dick Motta is a person coach. He deplores and a losing and he will not tolerate losers. Hes a revered teacher; his basketball clinics have engrossed coaches and players alike over the past decade. After ten years in the NBA, coach Motta lead his Washington Bullets team to the World Championship by beating a tough Seattle Supersonic team in seven games in 1978, and last year lead his team to the NBA only to be Championship play-offbeaten by the Supersonics in seven games. This accomplishments can be fully appreciated only by the fact the Bullets were predicted to be one of the first teams to be eliminated from the play-offMotta is now the third winningest coach in the history of the n ar 9-- 1. 63-1- r, s, NBA.

He has been invited to the prestigious University of Oregon Invitational Track Meet in Eugene, Oregon, and has also qualified for the National A.A.U. finals, later in July in San Roy Track Francisco, California. Everett and Katsuyo Crockett have supported their son through three years of track competition in five states, and the costs have been heavy. They would welcome a little financial assistance from the Roy Citizenry to keep him running. When Keith Crockett was at North Park Elementary in Roy, he won several playground races, and set a goal to become part of the Sand Ridge Junior High team, the following year. He reached his goal in his first year at Sand Ridge, but ran only on a mixed relay team, and didnt win any medals. He set another goal to be the fastest sprinter at Sand Rige in 1978. He lost his first race, that year as an eighth-gradebut was .never defeated again in the 100 and 220 yard dashes in his final two years at Sand Ridge Junior High School. In fact, he set school records in both sprints, that year, and finished first in both races in the Weber School District finals. He also ran with Billy Venster, Kevin Cunningham and Blaze Bishop to win the county 440 yard relay, that year. In the summer of 1978, Keith ran in the A.A.U. Junior Olympics in the twelve and thirteen year old division, and won the gold at the Utah State finals, the Intermountain meet in Twin Falls, Idaho, and the Region Ten championship in Boise Idaho. In the Region Ten finals he ran against the best of Idaho, Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona and parts of Texas. Crockett bettered his own records at Sand Ridge, and A$ a again took first in the 100 and 220 yard dashes, and he anchored the 440 yard relay which also won the gold. During that summer, Keith won gold medals, running in the Varsity Scout Olympics with his Roy Ninth Ward team. He competed in the A.A.U. Junior Olympics, again and won seven first place ribbons, and two seconds . Most of the runners were a year older than Keith. At the state meet, he won the 220 yard dash, but took second in the 100 yard dash. He also qualified for the Hershey National finals in Charleston, West Virginia in the 100 yard dash. He travelled all the way to West Virginia, only to be disqualified for a false start. The winning time for that event was of a second slower than Crocketts best time. Keith Crockett began high school in at Roy High School. He r, ninth-grade- full-stri- Clearfield Recreation concludes Summer Junior Olympics hardest, in to first base in the 5 protected the slim advantage to the last out. We played excellent defense, added Coach Larry Jorgenson. They had eight men on base, Jacklin picked one off third base, and caught another one trying to steal second, and our outfield cut one man down, trying to stretch a single into a double. Crockett, Roy's sparkling sprinter, is in need of financial support from fans reported recreation No one let down in any The cross country race was an event completed by many and a major attraction of the day. Numerous good scores were posted, with all winners in each age group being awarded ribbons for their excellent showings.

At the Weber County and Ogden City Invitational, Keith won two silver medals in the dashes, and teamed up with Richard Hess, Rann Jones and Scott House to win the 440 yard relay. At the Nate Long Invitational Keith took second in the 200 meter run. One of his biggest thrills of the year was in winning fourth place in the 100 meter and sixth place in the 200 meter at the B.Y.U. Invitational, which is the Granddaddy of track in Utah. In this, his sophomore year, Keith captured first in region in the 200 meter run, and third in the 100 meter dash. At the state meet, Crockett tied for second in the 200 meter run, but was disqualified for stepping on the line as he raced around the curve. Crockett has been busy this summer in summer track. He travelled to New Mexico for the Duke City Dashers Spring Classic in Albuquerque, and broke records in the 100 and 200 meter races in the 14 and 15 year old age group. Because of this feat, Keith was extended an invitation to the University of Oregon Invitational track meet, to be held July 12, and 13 in Eugene Oregon. He plans to stay over to attend a track camp to prepare for the National Meet to be held next month in San Francisco. Keith has already qualified for the Nationals in the 100 meter run, and will undoubtedly make it in the 200 meter dash. Crockett captured first place honors at the AAU. meet at Skyline High School, and at Orem High and Box Elder High in his 14 and 15 year age group. His 200 meter time at Box Elder was clocked at 22.36 seconds his best time -ever. Keith also teamed up with Zann Nufer, Richard Davis and Todd Vigil to win first in the 440 yard relay at Box Elder, last week. Keith and his teammates plan to compete this Saturday in Provo at the Utah State track finals. Keith Crockett has two more years of running for Roy High School, and has already been tabbed as the man to beat in next years track meets. He needs our support now, as he further prepares for track, and hell be in a Royal uniform for two more years. Keith needs some friends to sponsore him in his track career. Someone to help defray the expense of travelling to Oregon and San Francisco. His parents will see that he gets to the two meets, but the financial drain is taking its toll at the Crockett home. Anyone who would like to give Keith Crockett a boost in his track career may contact Bliss Fullmer at Stahle Publications. Keith needs a few hundred dollars, and will appreciate any help from anyone.
