This coach sets fitness goal for

Forget that the blue eyes and blond hair belong on some Scandinavian travel poster. Ignore the fact she often comes to practice ln a leotard, the better to subject her ballerina silhouette to stretches and bends In rhythm to a disco tape. Bonnie Bass, 26, Is a basketball coach. And the rhythmic aerobics she conducts twice weekly In the Sports Center of the University of San Diego are part of a preseason training regimen that serves up nutrition and self-discipline In a bigger dose than dribbling and shooting. When the students, 21 of them who hope to make the women' basketball team, learn to bounce around as tirelessly as a basketb , they'll tackle the fundamentals. Meanwhile, Bass leads them through their conditioning pac s, secure In the conviction that basketball for women Is no less femln ne than false eyelashes. / "It's tough for any girl to look me ln the eye and suggest basketball is not femlmne," she says. "What I wear to the conditioning class, the leotard - well, It's not exactly mascullne." I And who's to say a 114-pound coach can't mold a win~ng basketball team at USD out of a group of volunteers In her first ear on the job! Not Bonnie Bass. "It takes just a little bit more effort to get to the top than It doe~ 1 ~o have a good, av rage program," she tells you, seated behind lll'r desk in the USD sports complex before a class (basketball tryou\s won't get under way until Nov. 1.) \ Bass brings to her new assignment experience as an exercl~ specialist at the Golden Door health spa In Escondido, where she was\ thoroughly schooled ln nutrition as well. She also has taught baUroom dance and physical education. Basketball? "I played on my high school team," she says. "I was 'most inspirational' player and a pretty good outside shot. 1 "But before I took this job I went to gyms three days a week and did basketball workouts for two hours. My boyfriend, Bill Cathers, gave me the courage to try for It. He used to play pro ball In Austria." Women's basketball Is in Its third year at USD, conducted In the ' Association of Intercollegiate Athletics for Women (AIAW.) It is not yet such a fixture on campus that the men will routinely surrender gym time to their female counterparts. "We wouldn't get any (gym time) if I wasn't such a loud mouth," says Bass. "We've worked out an arrangement whereby the men will practice three hours a day and the women one and a half (hours), which is enough." When she first came to the campus she walked around and looked up. "When 1 saw a girl with any height, I'd Invite her to join the program," she recalls "Only seven or eight of our girls have previous experience." She spotted one potential hoopster ln the ladles room. "I recruited another one, a 6-footer, In the student union building. I was getting a drink of water. I said something like, 'Speaking of tall glasses of water, why don't you come out for the basketball team? I'm Bonnie Bass, the basketball coach.' "Next year, I'll do some serious recruiting, for top-quality, UCLA· caliber athletes. (UCLA is the defending women's natlomll champi- on)." Bass's primary conce,n, though, Is mixing fitness with fun.

BroveJl~aa taken care d. the P,per work. Now he mU!l begin ltooddng on doors and recruit talent it will take to cc:mpete at the new level. "Otr next Immediate g 1 Is to be respectable In th tooah basketball cooference:• •id Brovelll. "It' • a challenge, m doubt about it." T\MES-AOVOCATE OCT 8
