II. THE FAMILY

Every coach has a gimmick. Massiminos was family. Come to Villanova to play basketball, and youll be part of a family. Well eat pasta dinners together and talk about life and then well win because youll love each other like brothers. It was a sales pitch, wrapped in genuine emotion. The youngest child of an immigrant shoemaker who had a sixth-grade education, Massimino would have five children of his own, and they would give him 16 (17 now) grandchildren. Even on the road Rollie never wanted to be alone in hotel suite, says Mitch Buonaguro, his top assistant in 85. He always liked to have people around him.

In the early 1980s, many prospective recruits and their families were eager to buy a piece of Massiminos schtick. His family atmosphere was absolutely key, says Harold Pressley, who in 1982 as a senior at St. Bernard High in Uncasville, Conn., was an All-America. He came in, lounged around with my mother, seemed real comfortable. It worked. It was believable. And it was real. Jensen says, I was recruited by Providence, Syracuse, UCLA and South Carolina. I felt very comfortable with the community that Coach Mass had built at Villanova.

The 85 team came together in one huge chunk and then in small pieces that followed. In the summer of 1979 Howard Garfinkels Five-Star Basketball Camp in the Pocono Mountains was attended by a stunning roster of future Hall of Fame players, including Michael Jordan, Charles Barkley, Ewing, Chris Mullin and Karl Malone, all of whom would enter college in the fall of 81. Among the other prospective recruits at the camp were McLain, a Long Island native living with his high school coach in southeastern Massachusetts; McClain, a willowy 6' 6" forward from Worcester, Mass.; and Pinckney, a solid big man from Adlai Stevenson High in the Bronx who was under-recruited. The three of them became friends, and when Buonaguro induced McLain to commit to Villanova, McLain put the heat on McClain to join him, and McClain in turn applied pressure on Pinckney. It was nothing complicated, says McClain. We connected. We all wanted the Big East, and we knew with a point guard, a small forward and a big man, maybe we could do something.

Point guard Gary McLain was part of Villanovas stellar 1981 recruiting class. He, Pinckney and McClain would form the nucleus of the Wildcats title team.

As freshmen and sophomores, the big three played on good teams that were beaten in the Sweet 16, in 1982 by Jordans North Carolina team and in 83 by Houstons Phi Slamma Jamma. Eighty-three was the best team we ever had, says Massimino. A year later the Wildcats went 19-12 and lost to Illinois in the second round. The seniors reported to preseason conditioning in the fall of 1984 with 67 wins on their rsum, yet no trophies in the case. But they had experience, says Steve Pinone, a sophomore reserve on the 85 team who later became an assistant coach under Massimino and Lappas. They had been to two Sweet 16s and fought tons of Big East battles. Pinckney, McClain, McLain and the junior Pressley had been joined in the starting lineup by junior shooting guard Dwight Wilbur from Paterson, N.J. Jensen would back up Wilbur, while the hulking Everson and Mark Plansky, a 6' 7" freshman sapling from the Boston area, would get frontline minutes off the bench. They struggled throughout the regular season. I still dont know why, says Pinckney. The chemistrythat senior year, it just wasnt happening. A soft early schedule and some nice wins got the Wildcats to 13-3 heading into a January nonleague game at Marylands Cole Field House. The game was NBCs featured Sunday-afternoon telecast with the fabled announcing team of Dick Enberg and Al McGuire, and the Terps beat Villanova 77-74. Plansky, seven months removed from his high school graduation, found himself subbed in for Pressley and guarding Maryland All-America forward Len Bias. As soon as I came into the game Lenny drops to the low block and starts screaming, Mismatch! Mismatch! Give me the rock! says Plansky. Ive got a tape of the game. After Lenny gets about his fifth basket over me, Al McGuire says, on TV, Mr. and Mrs. Plansky, its not your sons fault. Hes just guarding a superstar. Bias, who would be dead of a cocaine overdose 17 months later, finished with 30 points, and that defeat sent Villanova into a regular-season-ending tailspin that included six losses in its last 11 games.

These were heavy days in the Big East, and among Villanovas nine regular-season defeats were two each to Georgetown (both close, a fact that would be widely overlooked at the Final Four in Lexington) and St. Johns, teams that volleyed the No. 1 ranking all season. The most humbling was the regular-season finale. With his team trailing Pittsburgh 40-23 at the half in Pitts Fitzgerald Field House, Massimino told his starters at halftime, Youve got two minutes to show me something, or youre coming out. He gave them three before yanking them for good. Reserves played the last 17 minutes and Pitt won, 85-62. Villanova slunk home to Philadelphia with an 18-9 record, firmly on the NCAA bubble, even from the most powerful conference in the country.

ST. CLAIRSVILLE - Belmont County Commissioners conducted regular business during their Wednesday meeting.

Commissioners noted that the courthouse elevator will be out of service April 7 to May 22 for a replacement project. Commissioners noted that arrangements have been made for people with disabilities who require the use of the upper floors. The commissioners' office will be available for their use.

Commissioner Mark Thomas remarked that the board has consulted with the judges while scheduling the dates for the elevator work. The courtroom at the county jail is also available for court use if necessary.

"The time frame for the shutdown of the elevator was all worked through as far as the elected officials and those who may be directly affected by it. It's the best way we can address the situation, and we'll simply make the best of it," he said. "Replacement of the elevator is a necessity, not a luxury."

Also, Pultney Township Trustee Frank Shaffer noted that a cleanup effort at Trough Run Road is set for April 23, 9 a.m. However, he noted that groups have continued to litter the area after cleanups and asked for assistance in either setting up cameras or a fence. The land is mitigation property. Commissioners will send buildings and grounds employees to assess the area.

Guests also inquired about a population drop in the Ohio Valley as was recently reported. Thomas noted that this was not a census year and the numbers may not be accurate. Also, there are questions about the source of this information. Further factors complicate the matter, since the area sees more deaths than births, and it is unclear to what extent the numbers represent those born in the area or who have moved in.

Richard Hord asked if the new senior services director would give a report of the department's activities at an upcoming board meeting. He was told this would take place in a future meeting.

In other matters, commissioners also noted the upcoming April 8 Job Fair at the mall will feature more than 100 employers.

The Belmont County Sheriff's Residence Museum will hold its open house Thursday, 5:30-7:30 p.m.

LAWRENCE Traci McMahon and her family are trying to live a sustainable lifestyle.

The family has already installed solar energy panels on the roof of their house, and they follow an organic, vegetarian diet. Recycling comes automatically to the family.

Nevertheless, Ms. McMahon brought her family to the eighth annual Living Local Expo Saturday morning to find out what is new in the sustainability arena.

"There is a lot to see today. I came here (to the expo) about two or three years ago," said Ms. McMahon, as she surveyed the array of vendors who had set up shop in the armorys main room.

"I am interested in environmental issues. I came out to see to the local businesses. I want to support the local businesses. I never knew there were so many local farms," Ms. McMahon said.

There were plenty of organic farms at the expo, along with exhibits from companies that promised to help homeowners replace their windows or install photo-voltaic solar panels, energy-efficient heating and cooling systems and other home improvements designed to save energy and money.

For those who lack carpentry skills and whose thumbs arent green and yet want a backyard garden, Hillcrest Urban Gardening promised to build and deliver a raised garden bed. Theyll even make weekly or bi-weekly visits to maintain the garden and leave the harvest on the doorstep.

At Windy Farm Alpacas, the product is fleece not food. There were rugs, socks, mittens and other items on display at the expo, made from fleece sheared from the alpacas. The animals originated in the Andes Mountains in Peru, and resemble camels without the distinctive humps.

Throughout the day, guest speakers discussed topics that ranged from organic food to the role of nuclear energy, and why furniture and other household items should be recycled not tossed into a landfill.

Speaker Judith Robinson explained what is meant by "organically raised" and why it is better than food that is not raised organically. Farmers who raise food organically do not use synthetic fertilizers or other chemicals, and also pay attention to the health of the soil, she said. Chemicals destroy the soil-food web, she said.
