Of the players that have left Nebraska, Derwald
has had the most significant Impact cn hb new
team. The 6-11 center scored 17.9 points per
game last season and averaged 8.5 rebounds. He
was an all-North Central Conference player last
season and has been tabbed by Street and Smith
magazine as a preseason Division II All
American. "I'm happy where I'm at right now," Derwald
said. "We're a Division One program in everything
but name. The North Central Conference b one of
the best, if not the beet, Division II conferences in
the country."
Derwald had completed two years at Nebraska
when he decided to leave Lincoln in 1C31. He said
the decbion was difficult to make.
"My wife and I liked our situation in Nebraska,"
Derwald said. "We thought we'd be $ving up a let
If I left, I wanted at least some of the things I had
in Lincoln."

Derwald said hb decbion to leave Nebraska
came about because cf a lack of playing time.
"I d'int cce that I vvts goin.1 to be apart of their
(the Nebraska coaching ctafi) plans, he said.
Bcr.vald said the decbion to leave was hb and
that he was not forced to leave by the Nebraska
coaching staff.
"One thing Coach Iba said to me (at the time)
that really hurt was that I couldn't play basket
ball at any level, Division I, Division II or Division
III. He also said that I would never be able to play
in a running game," Derwald said. "I think it wa3
the wrong thing to sr:y to me at the time. He was
going to make sure that I left."
Derwald was critical of the coaching staff at
Nebraska. He said it never seemed that Iba had
control cf the team.
Thing I saw happen my sophomore year were
things that I had never seen happen on a basket
be!! team before," Derwald said, declining to give
"You have get to be a prototype player to play
for Iba," Derwald said. "Once you get into Iba's
doghouse your chances of playing aren't very
good. I think Iba's a hard man to figure out. It's

First let me make one thing perfectly clear, I
am not a sexist. Some of my best friends are
girb. Sure, I open doors for girb (er, women),
but I'm not offended if they do the same for me.
As a matter of fact, not only do I let women pay
for dates, I encourage it
I consider myself a man of the 'SOs. Open
minded, not afraid to eat quiche. A man who
judges people by their contributions rather
than their sex. Dut there b a flaw in my human
ity. When it comes to sports, I'm about as sesbt
as you can get It's not that I consider women's
sports boring; on the contrary, I find them
excellent spectator sports. It's just that I've
never really thought of women as eal" ath
letes. If a woman played a great game or made
a fine play, I always said "she's, a good ath
lete ... for a woman."
But alas, every man's beliefs must be put to
the test. So when my sports editor suggested I
play a game of one-cn-one with one of the
players from UNL's women's basketball team
to defend my previously stated beliefs, I jump
ed at the chance. r -
I had wanted to play Rhonda Pieper, a Lin
coln Northeast graduate like myself. Dut in
stead, Nebraska Coach Kelly Hill suggested
Crystal Coleman, a 5-7 junior. For those of you
who dont follow women's basketball, Coleman
,was UNL's second leading scorer last year, and
scored a Nebraska school record 41 points in
one game.
Coleman wasnt going to be a purhevcr. At
Lincoln High School in East St. Loub, III, she
shot 70 percent her senior year while playir.g
for a 3-1 team. She was a fourth team a!l
Ameriean selection in Street and Crith r.:;
zine, and had maneed to break the eir.gle

She eecrcd tv;iee before I wa3 able to make a
turnaround jumper and the score stood at 10

jumper, Cr-etal was in command cf the game
14-4. By thb time, I'd just about given up all
hope cn winning. Ti;e photographer was laugh

Crystal's teammates seemed amused, and I
was thinking cf a way to make an injury to get
myself out cf thb mess. Then it happened. I
caught fire. I sank a 20-fccter from the top cf
the key and something clicked. Crystal missed
a shot and I made a 10-focter. Score: 14-0. .A
little man, inside me kept whispering "Maybe,'
just maybe . . ." Crystal knocked down another
jumper, but undaunted I came back with an
offensive rebound and. a fzllxa-ur) iumrer.
