Ted Stevens new relationship work. 4 Holtz says total honesty best policy EDITOR'S NOTE: In the following interview with “the Christian Ath- lete,‘, published by the Fellowship of Christian Athletes, Arkansas football coach Lou Holtz speaks out on what is necessary to be honest in intercollegiate athletics. Q: Is It difficult to be honest with yourself, your assistants and players when it comes to recruiting, trimming rosters and de- termining line-ups? A: My basic philosophy is based on total honesty. I can’t coach if I am not completely honest. There’s no way you can have the respect of your players if you’re not honest. They don’t always like what I say, but I base my decisions on what I think is hon- estly right. I ask my players three questions: Will it make you a better person? Will it make you a better student? Will it make you a better athlete? Anytime you deal with someone on a day-to-day basis you’ve got to be totally honest. I’m not smart enough to remember which lie I told people today to make sure I tell them the same lie next week. Q: Is it hard to stay within NCAA recruiting guidelines and still field a good team? A: Sometimes it’s tough but I’m convinced that somewhere in this country are 30 great athletes who want what we’ve got to offer. If you’re willing to knock on enough doors and not get dis- couraged with a few “nn’s” you’ll win in the long run.
