women’s basketball coach.
“We are very pleased to have a
coach with the credentials that
Cherri possesses join our staff, ’’ Tate
said. “Not only were we impressed
with her background in women’s
basketball, but she had a strong de
sire to come to Texas A&M.”
Rapp’s basketball background in
cludes her selection as an alternate
on the United States Olympic wo
men’s basketball team in 1976. Rapp
was chosen as captain of the U.S.
basketball team that won a gold
metal in the Pan American Games
in Mexico City in 1975.
Rapp played high school basket
ball at Estelline High School, earn
ing all-district distiction all four
years. After graduation she went on
to play at Wayland Baptist College.
While Rapp was at Wayland, the
Flying Queens won two national
championships, never losing more
than five games in a season. Rapp
earned All-America honors three
years while at Wayland and was val
edictorian of her 1972 graduating
class, majoring in mathematics.
“Cherri has shown the values of
leadership and dedication that we
are looking for in our coaches,” said
Charles Sampson, Texas A&M ath
letic council chairman. “Her experi
ence as a coach and a player will be
an asset to the overall program at
Texas A&M.”
In her three years of coaching
Rapp’s NTSU teams compiled a
43-42 record. This season NTSU
finished 16-15 and fifth in the
TAIAW state tournament.
“I have visited with Cherri sev
eral times and each time she im
presses me as a dedicated profes
sional,” Assistant Athletic Director
Kay Don said. “She is highly re-'
spected by her peers, shown by her

election to the TAIAW (k
committee.”

Brown brings wit to Westwood
United Press International
LOS ANGELES — With his jok
ing, flamboyant style, Larry Brown
made it very clear he had come to
have fun — and win.
The former coach of the NBA’s
Denver Nuggets assumed the head
basketball coaching position at
UCLA Wednesday and wasted no
time in displaying his wit.
“I’m kind of intimidated by the
crowd,” he told the 100 or so re
porters. “After coaching in the ABA,
this is a bigger crowd than we
played before in most of our
games.”
Brown, known as a fierce compet
itor and restless benchroamer dur
ing his 6A4 years in professional
coaching, said he tried once to be a
calm “iceman” coach, but it just
didn’t work.
“I have trouble sitting on the
bench, crossing my legs and looking
cool,” he laughed. “I went to the
University of North Carolina. Coach
Frank McGuire recruited my mom
so I went there. He sat there very
calmly but some amazing things
came out of his mouth. ”
Brown resigned Feb. 1 as head
coach of the Nuggets in what was
described as philosophical differ
ences with the team’s management.
He replaces Gary Cunningham,
who resigned from UCLA last week
after a two-year stint as head coach.
Cunningham will remain at UCLA
in a yet-to-be-announced adminis
trative post.
UCLA, which won 10 NCAA
championships in 12 years under
Coach John Wooden, hasn’t reached
the NCAA’s Final Four in the past
three seasons.
“This is a great moment for me,”
Brown said. “I hope in the future
UCLA can say the same thing. I
never thought I’d have an opportu
nity like this. This is a great school
with an unbelievable basketball

program.
UCLA athletic director J.D.
Morgan would say only that Brown
was given a “multi-year contract.”
Brown’s new salary is $40,000 a
year, less than half of what he
earned as coach of the Nuggets.
“I didn’t want to return to pro
basketball,” Brown said. “I was just
not suited for that kind of a game.
I’m not in this game for the money.
If I was in this for the money I
would still be coaching the Nuggets,
living in a beautiful house in Boul
der (Colo.).”
Brown, a native of Brooklyn,
N.Y., brings a 383-231 professional
record to Los Angeles. During his
six years of coaching in the Ameri
can Basketball Association and the
NBA, he guided his teams to five
divisional titles — one with the
Carolina Cougars of the ABA, two
with Denver in the ABA and two
with the Nuggets in the NBA.
Brown, playing guard, captained
North Carolina’s squad his senior
year. He played on the 1964 U.S.
Olympic team which captured the
gold medal in Tokyo.
He joined the ABA in 1967, play
ing for five years with five teams.
He was named Most Valuable
Player in the ABA’s 1968 All-Star
game and set the ABA record for as
sists in one game, 23.
