道格·沃伦(Doug Warren)形容上个赛季是一个有高潮也有低谷的“过山车”，因为他与当时还是少年的t·j·汉尼格(T.J. hanning)互换了NCAA男子冠军足球队的首发守门员。沃伦，现在是一名大二学生，已经转到克莱姆森，并在周六老虎队0:3输给康涅狄格队的比赛中担任守门员。教练杰里·耶格利说，如果沃伦决定留在IU，他将在2000年的赛季中击败汉宁，汉宁是全国年度最佳球员候选人。耶格利说，汉宁是这个国家的顶级门将，如果沃伦想参加本赛季的比赛，他只会作为汉宁的替补。“要么是红衫，不打，等待，打三年，去年不打对他来说太艰难了，”耶格利说。“所以我支持他，和他一起工作。这对他来说是最好的。沃伦说他决定转会是因为他想有机会参加今年夏天的20岁以下世界锦标赛。沃伦说，如果本赛季没有常规赛，他不认为自己有很好的机会参加比赛。沃伦的20岁以下国家队教练沃尔夫冈·苏霍兹(Wolfgang Suhnholz)也建议他多参加比赛。沃伦说克莱姆森是合适的位置，因为之前的首发门将已经毕业了。“Yeagley教练是你会遇到的最优秀的教练。他会做任何让他的球员感到舒服的事情。 He could've made it very difficult for me to go," Warren said. "He could not have released me, then I would not have been able to play this year. ...I don't want it to sound like it was a bad split. I still have good friends at Indiana. It was hard for me to leave. I respect Coach Yeagley."\nWarren said he made the decision to transfer in May. He spent much of the spring playing with the national team. Yeagley evaluated Warren's performance after the 1999 season, and Warren decided he would transfer upon hearing he would likely be redshirted.\n"I wouldn't (want to be redshirted) because I don't think I could get better, because I would go to practice knowing I wouldn't play," Warren said. "I've never been put in that position, and I don't want to be put in that position. I wouldn't want to redshirt ever."\nNational team assistant coach Todd Bramble, who served as an assistant soccer coach and recruiting coordinator at Clemson, referred Warren to the university. Bramble has since moved on to the head coaching position at Butler.\nAside from the chance to start, Warren was also attracted to Clemson because friends from the national team attend the school, and he felt comfortable with Tigers' coach Trevor Adair.\nConnecticut scored two penalty kicks against Clemson in Saturday's game. Warren said he is the starting goalkeeper for the season. Last season for IU, Warren played in nine games, including eight as a starter. He had four shutouts, a 7-1 record and a 0.63 goals-against-average. He did not start a game in the NCAA tournament.\nHannig had two shutouts in preseason games against IU-Purdue University at Fort Wayne and No. 20 Rutgers, as the Hoosiers went undefeated last weekend.\n"It's probably better for Warren (to transfer) because he's the kind of guy that basically was frustrated when he was going to be redshirted because he was on the national team his whole life," sophomore midfielder Phil Presser said. \n"He did leave a lot of friends, but we knew why he left and we appreciated that fact. Unfortunately we won't have someone to replace him for next year and the following years."\nYeagley said he was pleased with Warren's performance in 1999, and that the Palatine, Ill., recruit played as well as any freshman goalkeeper he has coached at IU. Warren wasn't benched for poor play, but because Hannig, who has competed in two Final Fours, was a better goalkeeper. \nAlthough Warren has experience with national teams, Hannig was a junior who had played against opponents older and more physical than Warren's 17- and 18-year-old foes. Yeagley said the competition between Warren and Hannig was beneficial to both.\n"We knew T.J. had great talent, but he had not played consistently and had not played with the arrogance, the confidence you need with a goalkeeper," Yeagley said. "He was a bit soft, a bit soft mentally, and at times I felt we won in spite of T.J.'s inconsistency. When Doug got here, it was like T.J. grew up."\nWarren said he improved during the battle over a starting position with Hannig.\nWhile the split between Warren and IU was positive, Yeagley said if he found another keeper like Warren, he'd "take him tomorrow."\n"I spoke with his father (Tuesday) morning and told him we're going to be cheering for Dougie," Yeagley said. "We're going to be rooting for him every time he plays, with the exception of when he plays IU"
