HOUSTON (AP) — Former
Houston Rockets guard Mitchell
Wiggins, banned from the NBA for
life because of drug abuse, has com
pleted a rehabilitation program and
says he is ready to resume playing
basketball.
His smile was back and said he
hoped to sign with a Continental
Basketball Association team.
“1 want people to know that I’m
on the path back, not just in terms of
basketball but in terms of getting my
life straightened out,” Wiggins said
Tuesday in a brief visit to the Rock
ets offices.
Wiggins, who tested positive for
drug use and was banned on Jan. 13
along with teammate Lewis Lloyd,
said he did not want to leave Hous
ton before giving Rockets General
Manager Ray Patterson a progress
report on his recovery.
“Ray has been influential in my
career and in my life,” Wiggins said.
“He has been a good friend, and I
couldn’t go away without seeing him
face-to-face and letting him know
how I was doing.”
Wiggins, 27, won’t be allowed to
seek readmission to the NBA until
January 1989 at the earliest and then
would have to win approval from
both the league and the players’ as
sociation.
In the meantime, he hopes to play
in the CBA.
“I don’t foresee any problem in
getting into the league,” he said. “I
know I’m coming back a better
er.”
arl Scheer, the CBA’s commis
sioner, said no decision had been
made on whether Wiggins would be
welcome.
“I heard from his agent, and I
told him our policy mirrors the
NBA’s and that I would have to re
view the circumstances which re
sulted in his being terminated in the
NBA before making any decision,”
Scheer said from his Denver office.
Wiggins says he has no bitterness
at the system that banned him from
the NBA although former teammate
John Lucas, twice suspended for
drug usage, is now playing for the
Milwaukee Bucks.
“I have only myself to blame,”
Wiggins said. “Mitchell has to get
Mitchell out of this. ”
Under the NBA’s policy, players
who volunteer for drug rehabilita
tion are not banned from the league.
Neither Wiggins nor Lloyd volun
teered for treatment, and the NBA
said it learned about their problem
through other sources.
“A guy like Lucas has nine lives,”
Wiggins said. “He suffered through
a lot of mistakes. I’m determined
that this will be my only mistake. I
still consider myself fortunate, be
cause I’ve got my health and I’ve
been awakened to this problem.
“The rehabilitation is more im
portant than basketball.”
The Rockets did not practice
id :
playt
Tuesday so Wiggins missed seeing
his former teammates. Some of
them, as well as players on other
teams, have expressed little sympa
thy for Wiggins or Lloyd.
“It’s kind of an awkward situation,
but in time I’m sure I’ll get the op
portunity to talk with all of the
guys,” Wiggins said. “I leave behind
a lot of good friends on this team. I
wish them the best, and I know they
wish the best for me.”
Wiggins said his goal is to return
to the NBA.

Use of Bosworth in ads
may break NCAA rules

TULSA, Okla. (AP) — The use of
photographs of Oklahoma line
backer Brian Bosworth in advertis
ing for a group of fitness centers ap
pears to violate NCAA rules and
could make him ineligible for a final
season with the Sooners, a school of
ficial said Wednesday.
But the president of the Tulsa-
based fitness center that used the
pictures said Wednesday the promo
tion, which included Bosworth’s
scheduled appearance at a Broken
Arrow club Saturday, was planned
without Bosworth’s knowledge or
permission.
“We didn’t realize what a commo
tion or stir-up could be caused,” said
Jim Benien, president of the All
American Fitness and Racquetball
Center. “We never even talked to
Bosworth. We didn’t want to do any
thing to endanger his eligibility.”
Benien’s comments appeared to
contradict those of Gary Reall, direc
tor of advertising for the fitness cen
ter, who said earlier Wednesday the
photos were used with Bosworth’s
knowledge.
“We do have permission from him
to use it,” Reall told The Tulsa Tri
bune. “It’s being handled by some
people out of Norman for us. He’s
coming down here Saturday. He’s
going to be working out in the club
and greeting some people. He’s not
being paid. He’s doing it out of
friendship to us.”
Bosworth, whose flamboyant style
made the All-America linebacker
one of the nation’s best-known play
ers last season, has yet to say for
mally whether he intends to stay
with the Sooners.
He has a year of eligibility remain
ing, but if he graduates this spring as
expected, he can play in the NFL.
Bosworth must make his
April.
Dan Gibbens, Oklahoma faculty
representative for the National Col
legiate Athletic Association, said the
advertisements may mean Bosworth
has forfeited his remaining year of
college eligibility.
“It is a violation for a player to al
low his picture, name or person to be
used for a commercial purpose,”
Gibbens said.
Gibbens said the school would
conduct an internal inquiry.

the
his decision by
He said payment is not a factor in
the NCAA rule.
But Gibbens said a key element is
whether Bosworth gave his permis
sion for his name and photograph to
be used.
If he did not, “strictly speaking, it
is no violation at all,” he said.
Benien said club officials were
told by a friend of Bosworth’s that
he would be using the Broken Ar
row club Saturday and decided to
capitalize on his presence there. Be
nien would not identify the friend.
Earlier this month, Bosworth said
he would like to return for a Final
season with the Sooners. He turned
down an invitation to participate in
the television Superstars competi
tion to preserve his eligibility.
Bosworth was unavailable for im
mediate comment about the adver
tising that appeared in the Tulsa
World, The Tulsa Tribune and on at
least one Tulsa television station.
Mike Treps, Oklahoma sports in
formation director, said players’ pic
tures and names sometimes are used
“without our knowing they’re going
to be used in that vein.”
Coach Barry Switzer said last
month he is convinced Bosworth will
not return for a final year at Okla
homa.
However, Bosworth said Feb. 7 he
wanted to return to Oklahoma.
“I don’t see why I should leave a
place where I’m comfortable to go to
a place where I might not be as com
fortable,” Bosworth said at the time.
“I’ve gotten used to winning too
much, and with next year’s schedule,
climate and atmosphere we have a
chance to win the national
championship.”
The ad for the All American Fit
ness and Racquetball Center shows
three photos of Bosworth and says
“Come see the ‘Boz’ you’ve read so
much about. Saturday, Feb. 21st at
the All American Fitness Broken Ar
row Club.”
Gibbens said the NCAA rule has
some “fuzzy edges” and is the subject
of frequent inquiries, but he said the
advertisement appeared “on the sur
face” to be a violation of the rule.
If Bosworth is found to be in vio
lation of the rule, Oklahoma ofFicials
could petition the NCAA for a re
turn of his eligibility, Gibbens said.

NEW YORK (AP) — DePaul
Coach Joey Meyer laughed at the
news that he led nominations an
nounced Wednesday for the Asso
ciated Press Coach of the Year in col
lege basketball.
“I’m flattered, ” he said. “I never
really thought about it. This is just
my third year. I’m so used to the
shadows, it doesn’t jibe with my
mentality.”
Meyer received 316 points and 12
first place ballots to 308 for Iowa’s
Tom Davis, who also had 12 first
place votes. John Chaney of Temple
was third with 11 firsts and 296
points followed by Jerry Tarkanian
of Nevada-Las Vegas, who had 16
first place votes and 268 points. Paul
Evans of Pitt was fifth with 167
points and three first place votes.
Balloting was conducted among
the college basketball poll writers
and broadcasters who participate in
the weekly AP Poll. They voted for
five coaches, with a first place vote
worth 10 points. Nominees got 8 for
second, 6 for third, 4 for fourth and
2 for fifth.
Bob Knight of Indiana (96
points), Purdue’s Gene Keady (92),
Cliff Ellis of Clemson (75), Provi
dence’s Rick Pitino (74) and Dean
Smith of North Carolina (72), com
pleted the top 10 finishers, who all
appear on the final ballot. Last year’s
winner, Kentucky’s Eddie Sutton,
did not receive a vote.
The same panel will vote next
month for Coach of the Year and
the winner will be announced at the
Final Four in New Orleans.
