Associated Press
MILWAUKEE — He’s one offive
National Basketball Association
coaches to top the 400-victory mark.
This year, he has coached the Mil
waukee Bucks to their fifth Midwest
Division title in six years and into the
NBA playoffs without 7-foot-2 center
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, now with Los
Angeles.
But Larry Costello finds his future
with the Bucks in doubt, despite a
407-249 record — that’s a .621 per-
in eight years as a pro
centage
coach.
Reports during the weekend told
of a move by some of the team’s di
rectors, especially cable television
magnate James Fitzgerald, to fire
Costello and give his job to Hubie
Brown, coach of the American Bas
ketball Association’s Louisville Col
onels and a former assistant to Cos
tello. And Costello said he thinks
there’s some truth to the rumors.
Fitzgerald, contacted Monday,
declined comment on reports that he
was attempting to sway enough of
the 12 members of the Bucks’ board
of directors to dump Costello, Gen
eral Manager Wayne Embry and
possibly club president Bill Alver-
“I just don’t think these things be
long being tried in the press,” said
Fitzgerald, who began buying into
the club two years ago and now
heads a group which holds the most
shares, about 30 per cent. “The
management of the company should
make this decision.”
Asked whether he could verify a
report that he had offered Brown the
coaching job, without approval of
the board of directors, he declined,
adding: “I don’t want to get going
down that road.” He also said, how
ever, that management should have
determined soon after last season,
when the Bucks failed to make the
playoffs, whether Costello would
continue as coach, instead of “keep
ing him on a limb.”
Fitzgerald said he believed the
board’s next meeting would be May
4, although there always “could be
one sooner.”
Costello, whose contract expires
in June, commented on the situation
after the Bucks ended the regular
season Sunday night. The Bucks
open a playoff series with Detroit
here Tuesday night.
“I guess it’s true,’ he said of the
reports he’s on his way out. “I just
wish some of those guys would say it
to my face instead ofknifing me from
behind the scenes.
“I’m concerned, no question,” he
said, “but I’ll be damned if it will get
me down. I’m not the type of guy
who quits. I won’t quit. If anything.
I’ll work harder.”
Costello had one vote of confi
dence Sunday night.
When the public address an
nouncer at the Milwaukee Arena
ended his introduction of the Bucks
team with “the head

erupted in vigorous clapJ
wild cheering that lasted,
notes or more — and brou*
from Costello.
