...Kolff, above, who held 13 head-coaching jobs in a 30-year career, the 1969 decision was no big deal--even though his Los Angeles Lakers lost to the Boston Celtics and V.B.K., as he was known, was fired. An ex--New York Knick, he coached teams including the Detroit Pistons, the Phoenix Suns and Bill Bradley's Princeton squad--and treasured teamwork and unselfishness above all. "Life isn't much different than [basketball]," he once said. "If it's run right, with precision, with good, honest effort, it's a thing of beauty...

...students start to head back to campus, the decisions made at the Detroit convention will be put to the test. SDSers may still have time to prove themselves. "SDS is just beginning to organize itself. They're learning from our mistakes, not repeating them," says Mark Rudd, the leader of the 1968 Columbia strike who has been an unofficial consultant to the new SDS.
