The Ball was laying Between my off coach tires of recruiting pressures by Alan Robinson Pittsburgh a his team is threatening to become one of the basis of the big East but Pittsburgh basketball coach Roy Chipman is tired of trying to lame that beast. He knows he should be fired up instead he s fed up. Chipman is weary of year round recruiting of what he Calls becoming a Pimp just to entice an 18-year-old High school athlete to attend a University the student May be ill prepared for academically. He has had it with armchair experts who would t know a zone trap from a Bear trap telling him How he should coach his team. Just As he is about to reach the Pinna Cle of his career Roy Chipman is climb ing Down from the Mountain. Al a time when he should be burning with desire he is just Plain burned oui. I do not want to be coaching Basket Ball when i am 55 years old. It is just nol that important anymore said Chipman. 46. Who announced dec. 19 that Nis sixth season As Pill s coach would be his last. My convictions arc Strong. I Don t want to coach basketball. Pm done with basketball. I m Chipmon s decision to end a coaching career he began at age 21 not Only sur prised his assistant coaches and Pitt administrators but his players and the recruits he has already landed for next season. Freshman Star Jerome Lane said he Felt betrayed because Chipman never indicated he would l be inc panthers coach for the next three seasons when Pitt is expected to be one of the big East s Premier teams. The panthers have signed three consensus High school All americans the last two years and 6-foot-10 Sophomore Charles Smith May soon develop into inc conference s top player. But Chipman has no regrets in walk ing away from whal Pill Al Lulic director Edward Boik said will be one of inc Mosi sought Afler jobs in the country. Maybe it docs l make any sense bul it docs to me Chipman said. The longer i thought about it the More Likely it would have been to say i la hang on another year collect my paycheck bul thai would t have been fair to me or the University. You Start doing that you Start fooling Chipman will enter private business with a Friend in Pittsburgh when the 1985-86 season ends. I will not coach again he said. It has nothing to do Wilh my players inc University the City. It has something to do Wilh the state of the Art. And right now the state of the Art most of Chipman s career has been spent in Low pressure jobs at schools such As Springfield. Hartwick and Lafayette. Even Al Pill the basketball intensity level was t that High when he was hired in 1980. The panthers Ihen belonged to the Eastern eight now the Atlantic 10, and they sold Only 600 season tickets for the 1980-81 season. Football was the Only game in town. Chipman noticed the Nal Urc of his Job changing two years Lacr when Pill joined inc prestigious big East. Suddenly. The Panl hrs were on regional or Cable to once or Isicc a week and Pill games were Sci Louis. Re cruising became a year round ask. Bul the harder he recruited and the More successful he was Smith was the East s top recruit two years ago the Niobe Chipman heard the whispers the innuendoes thai Pitt was improperly recruiting. The rumours became allegations this fall when Villanova freshman Doug West of Alvorma. Pa., said thai a Pill alumnus from his Hometown offered him $10,000 to play for the panthers. Chipman and he alumnus a Well known dentist have Vehe mently denied the report. The National collegiate athletic association is incs i Galing. There have been a lot of innuendoes made about us. It would be foolish of me to say and naive for you to believe that this did t have something to do with my Deci Sion he said. A lot of people have been questioning my integrity. I reached my decision and Don t laugh because this in t funny my 9 year old Geoffrey came Home and asked me if i was going to jail because i illegal recruiting. I said Damn it s just not Worth ii it s not that important. The allegations Are Large and the re Iraci ions arc Small he said. It gets to be tiring. I m lir cd of living in a situation where you Are guilty until you Are proven inn Occil. But you know what inc Nice part is i Don t care anymore. I Don t care what the newspapers say. I Don t care whal the Mcaa says. 1 Don t care what the fans say. I Don t care an sports television College football Gator bowl Florida slate is. Oklahoma stale 2 . Tuesday.
