Sk Montana Kaimin, Wednesday, April 29, 1992______3 Hood solid player but unstable off court
By Kristin Bloomer for the Kaimin
Editor’s note: This story is the second in a three-part series about former UM Grizzly basketball player Kevin Hood. Hood, who pleaded guilty March 13 in Missoula District Court to rape and misdemeanor escape, will be sentenced today. For Kevin Hood, basketball was a means to an end, a way to leave the
poverty of his childhood. At high school in Ohio, Kevin was named to the county all-star basketball squad and was an all-Ohio honorable mention. His outstanding basketball record drew the attention of the University of Texas, which recruited him when he was a senior in high school. But his attendance record—a combined total of 42 days in his sophomore and junior years, he says—and a grade point average of 0.67 were not enough to get him into college. To boost his grades, he went to Imperial Valley Community College in California. There, his girlfriend became pregnant, and the two married. With a wife and child to support, Kevin entered the Navy in 1985. In 1987, straight out of the Navy, he came to Missoula to play center for the Grizzlies. He was a good player. Kevin was the second leading scorer and rebounder for the Grizzlies in 1987-1988, behind Wayne Tinkle; he held an overall average of 11.8 points per game, and a rebounding average of 7.4 boards per game. He won an all-Big Sky Conference honorable mention that season, helping the team compile an 18-11 record. Though he fit in on the court, Kevin says off the court it was difficult to adjust to Missoula. “Here, I was king of basketball, and I was king of the city, and I was given everything. Here, everyone was putting me on a pedestal, and patting me on the back, and telling me what a good basketball player I was,” he says. He says he always wanted to believe those things, but ultimately realized that people liked him only because he played ball. ‘When basketball was over, I was no longer going to be the king of anything,” he says. “That alone was a shock to me.” There were other shocks to coming to Missoula. “I grew up around all blacks; I KEVIN HOOD was the second leading scorer and rebounder for didn’t grow up around any white the Grizzlies In 1987-1988.
