Support for Aba draft Rule fades by Jjck of Connell Houston apr the Aba draft is a hot topic at the College basketball coaches Summit and it Wasny to Over who s going to be the top pick. A what the coaches expressed their concern about is the Mcaa Rule that allows underclassmen to declare for the draft then return to school if they decide not to sign or Arentt drafted. The Rule took effect last year and was overwhelmingly supported by the Mcaa membership after Many years of bouncing around in committee. That support was Long gone when the Rule came up tuesday at the second annual Summit sponsored by the National association of basketball coaches. _ a the Rule caused problems because it opened the idea of applying to the draft to a whole group who had. Never seriously considered it before a Florida state coach Pat Kennedy said. A there had to be 20 to 30 kids who were now talking about entering the draft and that meant dealing with their families and the whole area of agents and  1 Ron Maestri the athletic director at the University of new Orleans and the chairman of the Mcaa pro sports Liason committee said the numbers in the first year of the Rule matched the statistics from the past. Twenty underclassmen applied for the draft and nine of them were taken in the first 16 picks. Twelve were selected Overall and two a Minnesota a Vashon Lenard and Georgia Scharles Claxton a decided to return to school. Maestri said the other eight players could t return to school because of academic or disciplinary problems. A a we did no to feel there was an increase in the activity regarding agents a Maestri said. A players found there were other sources to find their  Clem Haskins Lenard a coach at Minnesota Wasny tas thrilled As you might think with the return of the shooting guard for his senior season. A it creates a problem with a team and this is All about team a he said. A a player in that situation stops going to class  not graduate on time. Lenard went to the Milwaukee Bucks training Camp and had to pay Back almost $2,000 for expenses. A a this family could afford it but what about a family that  that could put. Them in jeopardy and create cheating. A you put a million dollars in front of a kid in front of a family and what do you expect Lenard said he was definitely staying. He went Home for 10 Days and then said he wanted to test the Waters. We know what happened. He  have gone if it Wasny to for the Rule a slotting was also discussed because Lenard for example remains property of the Bucks through the next draft. Regardless of How he does this season with the Golden gophers he remains the 46th Overall pick for negotiating purposes. ,. A Straw vote was taken of the 150 or so division i coaches at the session and Only two said they were supportive of the Rule As it now stands. A yes i was surprised by the Straw vote and twill go Back and discuss it with the committee a Maestri said. A we never heard this opposition during the process and the vote on the floor at the convention was nearly unanimous. A i am still working under the premise of letting it play through for another year to see what happens. The Pac-10 had a Resolution to rescind the Rule but the committee opposed it and nothing can happen at the convention in january to change  the Summit was to continue wednesday with initial eligibility the major topic of discussion.
