A Lou Campan Cllia a Post game tirades for mature audiences Only were ultimately what got him dismissed Here last week from his Job As the University of californians head basketball coach. His words were perhaps no coarser than Bob knights at Indiana. But the Cal athletic director Robert Bockrath inadvertently listened in on Campanelli one night recently and that made the difference. In essence Campanelli was ruined by the Strong acoustics of a locker room in Tempe Ariz. On the evening of feb. 4, after a loss to Arizona state Bockrath entered a a wrong door by Accident a a he said and found himself Only a partition away from the locker room. He overheard a profane lecture by Campanelli to the team., Bockrath once played football for to Schembechler at Miami of Ohio and maintains a i can swear with the rest a but he found himself appalled by what he called Campanellie so personal attacks on the players. A there were things that were unwarranted and inappropriate and inexcusable a Bockrath said Friday. A it was so incredibly bad i said a Sheresh something must be the players were beaten Down and in trouble psychologically. Every other word was a four letter one. Let me Tell you if i Hadnot made that wrong turn i have known the fix the team was four Days later last monday Campanelli was a deposed coach.

A what you say in a locker room should be Between the coach and the players a Campanelli said Friday. A no one hoosiers fall just Short of unanimous Lou Campanelli a Bullet to the head else a business. I May have used some curse words. From George Raveling to Bobby Knight to Dean Smith there a not a coach in the country who across the country last week coaches concurred with Campanelli. A if you fired every coach who swore or yelled unemployment in this country jumps up 10 percent a said Raveling the Southern California basketball coach. Most of All other coaches were concerned that Bockrath hired by Cal in August 1991 after 11 years at Arizona had removed Campanelli without giving him an Opportunity to soften his caustic Tongue. A the have changed a Bockrath 49, said last week. A if you a have heard him go off on these Guys you have told him to lighten up either.
