Search for successor to Hawkeye
basketball coach is under way

The search is on.
University of Iowa athletic
Officials are scouring the nation
for a successor to basketball
Coach Lute Olson, who shocked
the state this week by announc
ing his departure for the Uni
versity of Arizona and the sunny
skies of Tucson.
Iowa Athletic Director Chal
mers “Bump” Elliott says he and
a screening committee may not
determine their choice for
another few weeks.
In the meantime, an Iowa
basketball assistant, several up-
and-comers and a legendary
high school coach are making
sure their names are entered in
the Hawkeye sweepstakes.
The coaches agree that one
thing remains certain — this job
needs no advertising.
Olson, Iowa’s winningest
coach, left a team loaded with
talent that finished in the Top
16 of the 1983 NCAA tourna
ment. He also signed three blue-
chip recruits and received an
oral commitment from an all-
state Cedar Rapids star.
Iowa officials are keeping
mum about their search, but the
current front-runner appears to
be Jim Rosborough, 38, a mem
ber of Olson’s coaching staff for
nine years.
Rosborough already has been
interviewed by Elliott and the
committee of the university’s
Board in Control of Athletics.
Also in Rosborough’s favor is
the vocal support he has re
ceived from several Iowa players
and recruits.
If Rosborough does not land
the lowajob, he said he probably
would accompany Olson to Ari
zona.
“I feel I’m ready to move up,”
said Rosborough, a 1966 Iowa
graduate. “I’ve had nine years in
the Iowa program working
under Coach Olson, a man I
think is one of the best in the
business.
“At some point you have to
make that big leap, and I would
like to get the opportunity.”
So would several other col
lege coaches on the rise, includ
ing Boyd “Tiny” Grant of Fres
no State, Tony McAndrews of

gent seemed to be the early
favotire.
The Wolfpack, in fact,
came to town a little early just
to escape the commotion back
in Raleigh.
“Everybody is awfully ex
cited back home,” said North
Carolina State coach Jim Val-
vano. “Our players had be
come professional pep ral-
liers.
“It is exciting for all of us. I
hope to be back again because
I’m going to coach 50 years.
But I don’t want my excite
ment about coaching in the
Final Four to take away from
my players’ fun in playing in
it.”
Valvano is the only one of
the four coaches present nev
er to have coached in the Final
Four. Louisville’s Denny
Crum is making his fifth trip
to this level of competition,
Houston’s Guy Lewis is here
for the fourth time and Geor
gia’s Hugh Durham is making
his second Final Four appear
ance — having made it to the
championship game while
coaching Florida State.
Crum moves into fourth
place all by himself in the Fin
al Four derby. John Wooden
made it to the Final Four a
dozen times during his years
at UCLA, North Carolina’s
Dean Smith has been this far
seven times and the late
Adolph Rupp made six Final
Four apperances while at
Kentucky.

Sherrill praises lin

Sports Editor
The Texas Aggie football
team held its first scrimmage
of spring training Thursday,
and head coach Jackie Sherrill
said afterwards he was
pleased with the results.
“The competition with the
defensive line is really helping
the offensive line," Sherrill
said. He added that the two
groups were hitting well and
that he was “really im
pressed.”
“We’re a lot more physical
(on the offensive line this
year),” Sherrill said, “but we
don’t have the running backs
we had last year.”
