The Midshipmen scrambled out of a major jam in the second half last night to hand Mount St. Mary's a 80-75 defeat in a fast-paced encounter that officially opened the spanking new Knott Athletic Complex here. Navy ruined the Mounts debut' before an overflow crowd of 3,500 in the new arena with a superb comeback that was led by senior captain Cliff Rees and junior power forward Derric Turner. The Midshipmen, in their season opener, had to overcome a 1 6-polnt Mount St. Mary's lead in the final 15 minutes after Mike Tate's three-point Jump shot had given the home team a 53-37 lead with 15:29 on the clock.

Rees tossed in several jump shots and drove to the basket for layups, and Turner muscled his way inside for one big basket after another down the stretch. Rees finished with a career-high 28 points and Turner had 23 points and 15 rebounds in the closing rush. Lee Hicks, and John Moore spent the first half bombarding the nets from the outside, leading the Mounts to a 41-29 lead at halftime. If Tate and company weren't scoring from downtown, the Mounts were getting the ball inside to 6-10 Mike Grimes for high percentage shots. Grimes was also blocking several Navy shots and wound up with five blocks in the game that saw the Mounts drop to a 2-2 record.

The Mount lead began to evaporate in the second half when Grimes drew his fourth foul with a little more than 18 minutes left and was taken out of the game by coach Jim Phelan who has won 633 games and lost 276 in his storied career at this Division II school that will move up to Division I next year. Also, the Mounts started forcing too many outside Jump shots and they began to die with the Jumper after living with it in the first half. Tate finished with 19 points, Hicks had 18, and Moore had 17 for Brennan 2, Rees 2). Technical fouls: 0. Ml.

"Sure what happened with Indiana helped the JuCo players because Knight is known for his discipline and others have to see that JuCo kids are not knuckleheads," said Arrow, who compiled a 301-43 record and won three national championships at San Jacinto.

"JuCo basketball players in some cases need some sense of discipline, but there are some who are simply major-college players." Arrow turned out some of those players in his years at San Jacinto, including a pipeline to St. John's that sent Billy Goodwin, Walter Berry and this year's backcourt of Greg "Boo" Harvey and Michael Porter to the Redmen. "I am going to recruit JuCo players but you build a program with freshmen and fill in immediate needs with JuCo kids," Arrow said. "Hopefully we do have an advantage with JuCo coaches because they will want us to do well and we'll get some of their players." Stone said It's "pretty logical" for him to recruit in the JuCo ranks. "I'm familiar with the coaches and programs," he said.

"I'm rebuilding a program here and it's pretty logical for me to go that way. I'm glad I coached JuCo players and I feel comfortable with them." Five coaches have moved from an assistant's capacity to the head job at the same school. Gordon Chfesa of Providence has the toughest act to follow as the Fri- ars earned a berth in the National Collegiate Athletic Association Final Four last season but four starters have graduated from that team. "I'm going to be able go one more step because this is my third year in the program," Chiesa said. "I've been with our juniors and seniors for three years and we can play to our strengths and hide our non-strengths." The other coaches moving In the same program are Art Tolls at New Orleans, Frankie Allen at Virginia Tech, Kelvin Sampson at Washington State and Rich Haddad at Jacksonville.

Two coaches moved back to the Division I ranks from professional basketball. Rick Majerus, an assistant with the Milwaukee Bucks and former head coach at Marquette, is now the head man at Ball State, and Larry Steele stays in the same town, moving from the Trail Blazers to the University of Portland. Ohio State coach Gary Williams has to be proud of how his staff has moved up in the coaching ranks. Two of his assistants last season Rick Barnes and Jim Cleamons have taken head jobs In Division I. Barnes will take over the program at George Mason from Joe Harrington, who moved on to Long Beach State, and Cleamons moves across the state to Youngstown State, where he replaces Bill Dailey, who died after a battle with cancer last summer.

Dailey had been named head coach just months earlier, succeeding Mike Rice, who was fired. Associated Press Junior college players are everywhere in Division I basketball this season, thanks in part to Bob Knight, and now JuCo coaches are following their players Into top-level programs. Since Keith Smart made the tough jumper that gave Indiana and coach Knight the last national championship, Junior college players have become quite a topic among college basketball fans. Smart and teammate Dean Garrett had both made the Jump from the JuCo ranks to a solid, disciplined Division I program and the results were obvious. Besides the influx of JuCo players into the Division I ranks this year, four of the 38 new head coaches running top-level college basketball programs had their last Job at two-year schools.

"It's amazing that Mr. Knight has so much influence on coaching philosophy since he's had so much success," said Texas-Arlington coach Jerry Stone, who led Midland JC for the past 10 seasons. "Of course, Keith Smart's shot didn't hurt one' bit." Stone said Proposition 48, the rule requiring incoming freshmen to post certain academic standards, has also helped push JuCo programs to the forefront. "More coaches were forced to go that way because of Prop 48," he said. "JuCo kids are a little more experienced and there are more of them." Joining Stone in the JuCo-to-Di-vision I ranks are Ronnie Arrow, ASSOCIATED PRESS Miami of Ohio center Jim Paul is called for charging into Rick Calloway in Indiana's 90-65 victory.

But Georgetown coach John Thompson, criticized for scheduling powder-puff opponents early, had an answer for his critics following Friday night's season-opening 92-41 drubbing of Hawaii Loa College. "Regardless of what they criticize us for, we have won five of eight Big East championships," Thompson said, "and we didn't schedule that." Thompson says he brings his team to Hawaii mainly to promote unity. "lt's extremely important for us to get Into a good feeling early as to how I want things done," said Thompson. "It's also good for me because I've got to get myself oriented to coaching again after being away from it during the summer." As expected, the 16th-ranked Hoyas looked a little ragged but not enough to allow Hawaii Loa to make a game of it. Charles Smith scored 15 points and Mark Tillmon and Anthony Tucker added 14 apiece to lead the Hoyas.

Georgetown took advantage of 1 1 steals, four blocked shots and 12 Hawaii Loa turnovers to take a 44-17 halftime lead in its season opener. Smith led the way with 12 first-half points and Tillmon added 1 1 Midwest Bloom fie Id 90.

Huntington 72 Youngstown St. 61 Wooster 58 ens smashed home two consecutive dunks to bring the Hawks to within 29-28 at the intermission. But Loyola's patience and some shaky St. Joe play In the backcourt enabled the margin to spread to 41-34 on a steal by Morrison and a two-handed reverse dunk. The Hawks then capitalized on the bonus free-throw situation they were shooting with 13:29 left In the game and took the lead on a jumper by Owens at the 1 1 :43 mark.

Two more baskets by Owens and a short jumper by Henry Smith went unanswered, and the Hawks had the game safely In control. Boyle said Owens, who contributed 12 points to a well-balanced attack, reminds "me of two other guys we brought in off the bench when we won 25 or 26 games, Mark Dearborn and Wayne Williams. "He's fast, aggressive, has good anticipation and jumps well. No matter who comes out, we improve our team by putting him in." Richard Stewart, a freshman guard, topped the Hawks with 16 points, and highly touted center Rodney Blake contributed 12. Boyle was concerned that "we weren't getting any cracks at the hoop tuid we didn't shoot fouls any LOYOLA, from IB 34 with 13'2 minutes left.

James Owens, a high-flying forward, then was assigned to track Morrison, and the Greyhounds' offense virtually stopped. Morrison had only one field goal, a three-pointer, the rest of the way. "Actually, my daughter Trade came up to me and told me to go to the box and put Owens on him," said St. Joe coach Jim Boyle. "We might have, anyway, but she gets the credit." Morrison finished with 28 points, easily leading all scorers, but received absolutely no help from 6-10 freshman center Mike Wagner and power forward Marqus who were both shut out.

"The defense made me work harder to get the ball," said Morrison. "All we had to go was get the ball inside more often. But they contained us. "At first I thought we had everything under control, then we lost it." The lead see-sawed back and forth In the first half, with neither team leading by more than five points. The insertion of the 6-6 Owens supplied a spark for the Hawks.
