But that’s just the way an embarrassed Tarkanian wanted it. “1 told the kids it was no time to talk, just keep quiet and play ball,” Tarkanian said Tuesday. “We’ve been very low key and we’ve been winning since then.” Winners of 12 straight since the Georgetown debacle, Nevada- Las Vegas returned to the AP Top Twenty again in the latest weekly poll released Tuesday. The Rebels, on the strength of a nationally televised victory over Maryland last Saturday, squeezed into the No. 20 position. “It’s nice we're getting some recognition,” said Tarkanian, whose team now is 13-2 on the season. Georgetown, the nation’s only major unbeaten team, remained No. 1 in the poll and, for the fourth time in six weeks, the Hoyas received all 60 first-place votes and 1,200 points from the nationwide panel of sportwriters and broadcasters. Southern Methodist moved up a nptch to second place, while Duke, ranked second for the past five weeks, dropped to fifth after suffering two two-point overtime losses last week. St.John’s, Georgetown’s oppo nent Saturday, was in third place, followed by Memphis State. Illinois, 15-4 and 11th last week, jumped to sixth, while De- Paul moved three places to sev enth with 682 points, two more than North Carolina. Oklahoma and Oregon State, 13th and 14th last week, respectively, jumped to ninth and lOtn this week. Oklahoma advanced after a victory over then No. 9 Kansas Saturday, despite All-American Wayman Tisdale being held to a career-low six points, while Ore- on State improved to 14-1 with a 3-57 victory over Washington State. Syracuse, which was upset by Connecticut at home last week end, fell from seventh to 11th. The Oraqgemen were followed by Louisiana Tech, Indiana, Vil- lanova, Kansas, Georgia Tech, Tulsa, Michigan, Virginia Com monwealth and Nevada-Las Ve gas. Boston College, 11-5, which lost to three Big East Conference foes, two of whom were ranked, Villanova and St.John’s, fell from the Top Twenty, as did Michigan State, 12-4, which lost two Big Ten Conference games to un ranked teams, Iowa and Minne sota.

Brooks said at a news conference Tuesday that he had accepted his firing Monday by Rangers’ Vice President-General Manager Craig Patrick because “I didn’t want to ar gue the point when he said he wanted to make a change.” But Brooks, who led the 1980 United States Olympic team to its stunning gold medal at Lake Placid, N.Y., also admitted he had reached a dead end in his relations with his boss. “I would like to have had a little more say in the people going up and down in our organization, a little more of a voice,” Brooks said. “When it came to trades, I was al ways asked and I appreciate that. But a coach is out there on a limb. If I felt there was someone in the orga nization that would help us or should go down, I’d liked to have had more clout in it.” Last summer, after being frus trated by his lack of input, Brooks said he had tendered his resignation to Patrick and Rangers’ President Jack Krumpe “as a matter of certain values and principles which I hold very important in the world of sport. My resignation was not accepted and 1 decided to stay on (for the final year of his contract) in the hopes that things would improve.” They didn’t, and when Brooks confronted Patrick again over his role in decisions regarding person nel within the organization, he again was rebuf fed. “All coaches would like more of a handle on talent moves. 1 forced the issue and the last thing went against me,” said Brooks. “Craig and I had a difference in philosophies, not per sonality.” Asked whether he resigned rather than was released by the Rangers, Brooks said, “He fired me, no ques tion. I chose not to (resign). It might have the connotation of walking away from something and I never have walked away from something in my life.” Brooks said he has no future plans but did rule out returning to coach on a collegiate level. He did admit that he would like to coach again in the NHL. Reports had circulated earlier this season that Brooks would leave the Rangers to coach the Minnesota North Stars. He was asked T uesday how he would react to an offer from that team, whose coach, Glen Son- mor, was hired on an interim basis early in the season when Bill Maho ney was fired. “I don’t know if my head is clear right now (to return to coaching),” he replied. “I would be flattered by an offer but probably would be against it just because I’m coming off this psychological roller coaster I’m on. I need time to collect my thoughts.” RkjsjJLLieo TslsESi? srssssL. rarrprrmrfci (3U COLLEGE N U4-<,5w| ||N THE MALL 7*4-061*1 oaagHBD T>* VEAA UX l ■T T * T 2010 J '«TfTl*»tt:7.»fc4ar i jf! •Hrooob k 1 Zr Ht f rajresf’JS “THAT’S l DANCINfi” m ’ MTE TtMIS: 7:15 8:30 saxlY Ftm> PLACES tN .
