West Virginia's Schaus Could Be Coach Of The Year
West Virginia University coach Fred Schaus is touted as a near unanimous pick for national coach of the year, after guiding the Mountaineers to the NCAA finals. His post-season showcases include leading a six-foot-and-under All-Star team to a 79-76 win in Pittsburgh and directing the College All-Stars to Pan-Am tryouts, earning him selection to coach the United States team for Pan-American Games. Robertson outpaced West in Pan-Am scoring while West matched field goals and outpaced in accuracy during the three-game series. Joe Dingess urges an Intercity Softball entry amid Ballard Stadium’s underuse concerns.
