The Devaney Philosophy
By MIKE GOLDMAN
Reprinted from
The Wisconsin University
Dally Cardinal
Bob Devaney, the man behind the winning football
tradition at Nebraska, has his own theories behind coach
ing. Devaney believes there must be more than good play
ers on a team to win championships. He thinks a certain
amount of psychology must be used by the coaches to
make players perform up to their fullest capabilities.
Devaney is benefited by an excellent recruiting sys
tem and also by being in a conference having lower acad
emic standards than most others in the NCAA.
But unlike many other schools, Devaney always has
a winning team whenever he has players of championship
caliber.
Iowa, a school which was picked in pre-season polls
too win a Big Ten championship two years ago, finished
last in the Big Ten. Why? One main reason was poor re
lations between the coaching staff and the players. This
will never happen at Nebraska as long as the present
coaching staff stays on.
An example of the Devaney method of coaching can
be shown using Bob Pickens, the former Wisconsin play
er who now is playing at the starting right tackle position
for the Cornhuskers. Pickens began at Wisconsin, dropped
out of schools and then entered Nebraska after being on
the 1964 U.S. Olympic wrestling team.
"I was terribly unhappy at Wisconsin," said Pickens.
VI think entering Nebraska was one of the best things I
ever did. I'm much happier now and my only regret is I
didn't come to Nebraska sooner."
Devaney says he didn't do anything terribly different
to Pickens. They try to treat the players equally at Lin
coln. "I cant say that every player who comes to play
football at Nebraska likes it," said Devaney. "We've had
boys who weren't happy here leave and play well at other
schools. Pickens is a person who was able to fit well into
our system.'
Devaney gave much of the credit of Nebraska's for
tunes to his assistants. On any athletic team, the assistant
coaches are always closer to the players than the head
coach. Devaney has been with his present coaching staff
for ten years.
"I keep a middle-of-the-road position with players,"
said Devaney. "I'm close to them, but they don't go around
addressing me on a first name basis. My office door is
always open to them, and I encourage players not to be
afraid if they want to talk to me about a problem."
"I'm very close to my assistants," Devaney contin
ued. "Since we've been together so long, we're able to
work together pretty efficiently."
Pickens gives much credit to Devaney. He said that
he has changed and matured very much since he's been at
Nebraska.
"They have been very good to me at Nebraska and
have treated me fairly," said Pickens. "The reason is hard
to explain. Yon just have to be there to see Devaney work.
ATI I can say is the Nebraska coaches have done a lot to
change me."
Pickens reeds 41 credits for a degree in business ad
ministration. Nebraska uses a semester system.
Other Nebraska players agree with Pickens. They
aren't afraid to extend praise to the Nebraska coaching
staff. They have a lot of pride playing at Nebraska and
also a great amount of respect for Devaney.
The Devaney philosophy of coaching has been a model
for others to follow. One must remember a coach still
needs players who have ability and that psychology isn't
all of coaching. A coaoh must know the fundamentals of
his sport and how to teach them.
If a coach does have respect for his players and if he
can get a maximum effort out of them, winning teams will
eventually be made. Bob Devaney's rise to national coach
ing prestige is the prime example.
"It's a pleasure playing for the man," one player said.
"Yon can talk to him freely on and off the field."

"Let's unplug the computer, boys!
Start thinking!"
A lot of people believe that someday
computers will do all their thinking
for them.
Well, a funny thing is going to
happen on the way to the future:
You're going to have to think
harder and longer than ever.

NU Faces Cowboys
On First Road Trip
Nebraska faces a bar
rage of non-conference
games this week as the
Huskers prepare for their
tournament schedule and
the Big Eight race.
The Huskers are on the
road Wednesday playing
the Wyoming Cowboys, re
turn to Lincoln to face a
strong team from the Uni
versity of the Pacific on
Saturday, and play two
games with Washington
State the following Monday
and Tuesday,
Meanwhile, coach Joe
Cipriano has been concen
trating on the Wyoming
test. He was happy with
the Huskers opening win
with Oregon (79-56) and
voiced satisfaction with the
Varsity's showing with the
Alumni, in which the Big
Red whipped the Old Red
99-83.
"We think there were
areas where the team must
show improvement, which
is natural for any first
game showing," Cipriano
said. "But, generally we
were quite pleased with our
showing."
Frosh Cagers Trample
Coach Glenn Potter's Ne
braska freshmen basketball
team scored over 100 points
for the second time this
season in as many outings
to beat Creston Junior Col
lege 105 to 60 in the Coli
seum Monday night.
The Husker frosh were
again paced by 6-2, Oak
land, Calif, guard Tom
Scantlebury who had
32 points. Scantlebury
scored 24 points in the fresh
men's 101-90 opener against
the Drake frosh last week.
A total of 14 Huskers
were in the scoring column
against Creston with Ken
Cauble, a 6-5 forward from
Midland, Tex. next behind
Scantlebury with 13 points.
a practical way to lock a door or turn
off an oven by remote telephone
control, or to make possible some of
the other things we'll have someday.
It takes individuals . . . perhaps you
could be one... launching new
ideas, proposing innovations
and dreaming dreams.
And someday, we're going to have to
find a way to dial locations in space.
Makes you think.

And Cipriano hastily add
ed that "no team should be
at their prime at the begin
ning of the season" and
that "a team should strive
to continiK- improving."
Cipriano was pleased with
forward Tom Baack's shoot
ing both nights. Baack, a
junior scored 27 points
against Oregon and hit 11-16
from the field against the
Alums to score 29 points.
"Jim Damm did a fine
job at the starting guard po
sition and we feel he will
continue to give his best,"
the coach said. Cipriano
termed Stuart Lantz' play
both nights as "a fine over
all performance."
Wyoming, although losing
to Oklahoma State 73-64 last
week, should be strong at
home Cipriano thinks
Coach Bill Stannigan has
two top lettermen returning
from a 17-9 team last year:
Tom Asbury, 6-5 forward
and Mike Eberly, 6-0 guard.
Cipriano says that Wyo
ming will probably run a
press against Nebraska and
that the Huskers will plan
their game around it.
The next game for the
Husker frosh will be
against McCook Junior Col
lege in a preliminary con
test to the Nebraska-University
of Pacific contest Sat
urday night in the Coliseum.
LINCOLN, NEBRASKA, November 22,
1966 The Professor of Aerospace Studies
has announced that all male students in the
University of Nebraska who have two years
remaining at the University now have the
opportunity to obtain a commission in the
Air Force. Applications are now being ac
cepted for entry into the Air Force ROTC
Two-Year Program.
The unique aspect of the Two-Year
Program is that the student has an oppor
tunity to view and experience Air Force life
before being actually enrolled in the pro
gram. A physical and a -qualifying exam are
provided; and upon successful completion,
the student attends a six-week special sum
mer training session. The training sesssion
gives the Air Force and the student an op
portunity to decide if they are both saitsfied.
In the fall, attending summer training, the
student pursues a new aerospace curriculum.
Colonel Bowers, Professor of Aerospace
Studies, emphasized that anyone interested
in this program should visit his office on the
second floor of the Military and Naval
Science Building prior to December 10, 1966
since some time is required for processing
the application.
