European Stars And Stripes (Newspaper) - April 21, 1989, Darmstadt, Hesse                                Friday april 21,1969 the stars and stripes Page 25 commentary so the cagey game goes on and on Kaiser and you though the College basketball season ended when Michigan beat scion Hall. It never ends not the recruiting. Not the coaching changes in the last four Days Colgate Duquesne and mar shall hired new coaches. The week before that Louisville and Illinois landed some of the nation s finest Lii Lenl to open the National Lelir of Ament Spring sign ing period. Two of Hose sign pcs 6-foot-Io Larry Mccloud Fanderson College a Junior College in South Carolina and 6-0 Steve Laflin Jeroff at Lanta signed with Clemson thai had to make the tigers coach Cliff filis. A Happy Man and when Ellis is Happy Over a signing his staff quits sweating. I an in assistant coach at Clemson named Tom Kaiser remembers those sweaty sign � ing periods. Kaiser played basketball at West Point and l Mannheim before leaving the army and joining Clemson s staff in june 1987. He lasted one year and quit. Now he s Selling Stock in Florida and hoping to return to College coaching. To keep his hand on the Ball Kaiser helped coach the . Team o its third straight Albert Schwedt or International youth basketball tournament title three weeks ago in Mannheim. One of his players was Shaun Golden a High school guard from Green Ville s.c., who will play for Georgia next fall. When Kaiser was at German he tried to recruit Golden. He showed him around Campus. He set him up Ai a concert. He took him to a Clemson George football game. Bui when Golden rooted for Georgia Kaiser knew the kid would become a bulldog. Kaiser was right. Colden signed with Georgia last november. Why did t Golden slay in his Home stale and go with Clemson Musi the system the guard said a Day after scoring 11 Points in inc United slates 75 67 Triumph Over Greece in the Schweitzer  has lots of guards. I would t have an Opportunity to  then there was Georgia s business school which Golden called a top lure. Yet another Point in a High school player basket., you have 16 know everything about a kid,1 Kai ser Sejd of the recruiting game. You better know his likes dislikes his favorite music every course no Clemson How Many Black professors you have acid is going to ask everything and you better know Bucky Fox  .-.-. Kaiser was no longer at Clemson the Day Golden signed with Georgia. Bui he could imagine inc hot Box that was the coaches office. Kaiser sweated there last Spring when the Clemson staff waited for Lilac riot Green s Call. Green played guard at Moss Point miss. He showed the kind of  of another missis Sippi Propster Chris Jackson who would become the lop freshman Al leu. Clemson wanted Green badly. Kaiser waltzed him around Campus. One of the tigers top assistants Eugene hams pressured the kid. Then on that Spring night in 1988, with Climso coaches silting around the phone. Harris answered it. Green s Mother said he picked Georgia. Being new i did t realize the Impact said Kai ser. Kids like Green and Golden can make your program. They can hit inc free throw that wins it for you in the Mcaa  and when a trip to the Caas guarantees school 5250,000. And when a Litt Crial Green says no to your school Well the head coach is coming after you said Kaiser. Ellis especially hammered Harris for losing the kid. Nobody said much to any one that  you wonder Why a Man of 27, which was Kaiser s age in 1987, would put his career in the dribbling hands of Len Agurs. Kaiser simply loved the game and the crowds enough to Trade his $33,000 Captain s salary for a s15,000 Rookie assist ant s pay at Clemson. It was an Opportunity to gel some exposure and what the business is All about said Kaiser. While his wife Terry found a secretarial of with Clemson s soccer coach Tom dived into his  was responsible for writing letters to recruits showing recruits around Campus and academics. When the season started Kaiser s Job expanded into scouting the enemy. He watched games a Cund on film and prepared 38-Page reports on each team. His notes answered  questions As whom to Foulin the closing seconds what players arc  by the crowd How docs a team respond id penetration the reports were like preparing for finals. I could be up All night doing ii said Kaiser a groggy Kaiser gave the reports 19 Ellis who made changes and applied them is practice. When the tigers finished applying them in games thai 1987-88 season they stood 14-15. They reached the National invitation tournament but their 4-10 record in the Atlantic coast conference ranked seventh. Kaiser was t Happy. He  was l so much the record an it was the head coach s direction. Ellis did t stress academics. I was t the right situation for me said Kaiser. They had a different philosophy a different disciplinary style than what i was probably accustomed to. 1 played under Mike  at West  is different. Kaiser says that until Grayson Marshall graduate Din 19sb, no Tiger had received a diploma for three years. ,. Kaiser refrained from slamming Ellis. He Pul the Clemson Boss in this perspective he s a business Man. His attitude is get us much As you can As Long As you can because you could be out of a Job next week. The pressure is Cash. Cold  How cold Kaiser figures Ellis hauls in More than $250,000, thai s Wilh his shoe Deal summer Camp to and radio shows and speaking fees thrown in. Good Money for a Guy Wilh a 342-156 career record you say says Kaiser in the acc that s probably seventh Ore Ghib on the list Jim Valvano of North Carolina state makes about$750.000. And recently month he said during one of his 110,000 speeches i think we re underpaid for the amount of pressure that s placed upon  with thai kind of Money flying you can t blame Kaiser for feeling grounded. All that headache for $15,000? please. So Kaiser left Cic Mson in july 9gs and went recruiting for a better coaching Job. He almost nailed the lop recruiting Post under lefty Driesell at James Madison. And while Kaiser Sells Stock in   submitted resumes at Miami northeastern and West Point. In retrospect i was probably a Little bit impatient at Clemson said Kaiser whose old team went 19 11 and two rounds deep into the Mcaa tourney this past season. I wanted to arrive at the Point where i wanted to be Early. There arc dues  paid. That probably was wrong on my part. Hut i be shown in this tournament that i can coach the top Guy Guys like Golden who said of Knur. He has All the fundamentals and skills to be a top coach. If he applies Lhost skills he can become a winning Heady coach. He s not a Pushover. He s a  Golden s . Teammate Zan Mason who will play at Urcla said of Kaiser once he gets that experience hell be often maybe Well Tom Kaiser hired some where. Any Day. Any year.
