The General doesn‘t so much walk as she does glide. Tallâ€"almost six feetâ€"slim and smart, she seems obliv ious to the heads that reflexively folâ€" low her. By JIM WILSON Beaver sports editor Tough when she needs to be, expansive when she wants to be, Carol Hamilton Goodale wears cool confiâ€" dence from growing up black in Northern Ontario and competitiveness from spending eight years on Canada‘s national basketball team. PEOPLE‘S She is someone you would want running your businessâ€"especially if that business happens to be basketball Two years removed from the national team, she talks of reâ€"joining it this summer. She is, after all, only 29 and still keeps in shape by burying unsuspecting men in pickâ€"up games. But on this day, not unlike others, she would much rather talk about the hundreds of local children, youths and adults she hosts as part of her Oakvilleâ€"based Home Court Basketball leagues and clinics. Or the hundreds of high school students she regularly addresses as part of FAME (Female Athletes Motivating Excellence), a government program that helps bring women and sport together. _Or the two hours of onâ€"court hell she puts company executives and their employees through as part of her basketball consulting service. None of these ventures are going to land her in the Fortune 500 but that is of no concern. Home Court Basketball, for instance, is an ambitious nonâ€"profit project, started with her husband, Bill Goodale, last summer, attempting to plug into what is now widely recognized as the world‘s most popular sport.

And yet, three years ago, when the couple moved to Oakville, Bill‘s hometown, after playâ€" ing semiâ€"professionally in France, they were disâ€" appointed to discover there was no men‘s league. So they started one. Now, of course, Home Court has grown to include children, youths and women. The winter league is just wrapping up but soon it will be time for the summer program, divvied up into five divisions and expected to have more than 250 players. (This year‘s league and costs $95.

After quitting the national team two years ago, she‘s considering a comeback under new coach Kathy Shields. Shields replaces Wayne Hussey, an Oakville resident who resigned from the post in December.

No one knew it at the time but that would be the last time an Ontario team has won a Canadian volleyball titleâ€"â€"college or university. Ten years later, Sheridan College, possessor of the country‘s No. 3 ranked men‘s team and No. 7 ranked women‘s team, hosts the 1993 Canadian College Athletic Association championships, Oakville hosts the best beginning tomorrow (Thursday). Is the spell going to end? Not likely. But at the very least, the three days of competition among the nation‘s top eight men‘s and women‘s teams proâ€" vides a sneak preview of the future of Canadian volleyball, which, traditionally is among the best in the world. Threeâ€"quarters of the players on Canada‘s national team played at the college level. Of those, the majority come from Quebec. Next up is Alberta. Which partially explavlns mmmumumm) why the two Quebec represenâ€" i tatives and one from Alberta 3) Seneca College (Ontario champian) ate favored for both titles. 6) Mount St. Vincent University (Nova Scotia) (Never mind the seedings, 7) Sheridan College (Ontario ftinalist) which have, for instance, Limoilou men ranked No. 8. The Titans have won seven of the past nine titles, were ranked No. 1 all season and lost in the Quebec final in five setsâ€"â€"16â€"14 in the fifthâ€"â€"to Sherbrooke). There are a few theories as to why this is: Q Kids in Quebec and Alberta love volleyball the same way Ontario vouths take to basketball. Q The Quebec and Alberta volleyball systems feed athletes up the pipe directly to four or five topâ€"ranked schools. In Ontario, the best playâ€" ers are spread among 22 different colleges. "If we concentrated our players among four or five schools, we could be dominant, too," says Fred Wannamaker, Sheridan‘s assistant athletic director and a CCAA volleyball convenor for the past 10 years. Q By and large, coaches are fullâ€"time professionals in Quebec. Meanwhile Alberta (Calgary, in particular) is home to the national proâ€" gram and also has access to the best coaches. These coaches often don‘t work anywhere else. They don‘t teach anything else. They stress practice and tournaments. They recruit heavily across their province. _ And what players they are.
