[Thumb Up]To Jim Catalano, basketball coach at New Jersey Tech, for creating an "athalemics" camp for 250 academically deficient inner-city kids from Newark. The camp, now in its third year, uses basketball to teach reading, writing and arithmetic skills.
[Thumb Down]To Iowa football coach Hayden Fry, who recently blamed the track team for his team's lack of speed. "We're never going to have great speed at Iowa until we have a great track program," said Fry, unmindful that Miami, for example, has an inferior track program.
