Nebraska’s Iba named as new TCU coach
FORT WORTH (AP) — Moe Iba,
47, who won 60 per cent of his
games and took Nebraska to the
NCAA playoffs in five years with the
Cornhuskers, was named Texas
Christian University’s 12th head bas
ketball coach on Monday.
Iba, who was given a four-year
contract at an estimated $50,000 per
year, replaced the popular Jim Kill-
ingsworth, 63, who retired after an
eight-year tenure at TCU which in
cluded an NCAA bid.
Iba said “My job will be to main
tain and improve the program.
“Coach Killingsworth did a great
job of taking TCU to the top. This is
a much better situation than taking a
program that’s down.”
He added “My philosophy is close
to Coach Killingsworth’s. I try to
adapt to by personnel. Just because
I’m an Iba doesn’t mean I like to
play slow.
“ You can’t play that these days.
You have to play a quicker tempo.”
TCU Chancellor William E.
Tucker said Iba “shares our view
that education comes first and that
winning with integrity is possible.
“I believe we have found the right
match between university and indi
vidual in Moe Iba.”
Iba was the only person inter-
1BU
viewed for the job by Athletic Direc
tor Frank Windegger.
“Jim Killingsworth said he would
be the best coach in the Southwest
Conference if we could get him,”
Windegger said. “I gave those re
marks a lot of consideration.”
Windegger called Coaches Dean
Smith of North Carolina and the
University of Texas-El Paso’s Don
Haskins for recommendations.
“He would be an asset to any pro
gram in the country,” Smith told
Windegger.
“Haskins thinks Moe hung the
moon,” Windegger said. “He said his
youngsters always think the world of
him.”
Nebraska Athletic Director Bob
Devaney told Windegger: “I think
the world of him. He did a tremen
dous job of coaching at Nebraska.”
Windegger added “I couldn’t find
anything bad about him. That al
ways bothers you.”
Davis looks to future,
puts past behind him
KISSIMMEE, Fla. (AP) — Hous
ton first-baseman Glenn Davis has
no time to think about the past,
whether it be his troubled youth or a
bitter contract battle with Astros
General Manager Dick Wagner.
Davis isn’t even taking time to
think about his 1986 All-Star season
in which he hit 31 homers, drove in
101 runs and finished second to
Philadelphia’s Mike Schmidt as the
National League Most Valuable
Player.
“I can’t do my talking on the tele
phone or in negotiations; I’ve got to
do it out there on the field,” Davis
said. “I told Mr. Wagner I won’t let
this stuff hamper me or bother me.”
Davis, who earned $120,000 last
season, thought he had done
enough to merit a larger salary than
Wagner offered.
But when it came to contract time,
Davis found himself caught in a
league-wide cost cutting phase. Da
vis said the only thing worse than the
contract offer was Wagner’s attitude.
Davis signed a contract that will
pay him $215,000 plus another
$25,000 if he makes the All-Star
team. Davis sought $240,000.
“I went in and had a talk with Mr.
Wagner and I told him if I’d caused
any problems I’d like to ask for his
forgiveness,” Davis said.
Davis also says he’s over the de
pression of an unhappy youth.
There was a time, he said, “when I
didn’t care if I survived at all.”
Now Davis has a sparkling new ca
reer, a family of his own, and a
bright future.
“Probably talking about the whole
situation last year was one of the best
things that happened to me,” Davis
said.
Davis will start this season with
one year, 145 days of major league
experience. He still won’t be eligible
for salary arbitration as a 3-year vet
eran when his current contract ex
pires.
“When that time comes, I’ll han
dle it the way I think it should be
handled,” Davis said. “I’m not
looking to hammer anybody or get
back at anyone. That’s a long time
off.
“I don’t even know if I’ll be here
tomorrow.”
Davis blossomed into the long-
awaited power hitter the Astros have
been seeking in recent years.
In addition to his 31 homers, Da
vis led the team with 16 game win
ning hits and tied Mets catcher Gary
Carter for the league lead.
playe
nom<
Davis became only the third
^er in league history get hit a
lome run in his first playoff at bat.
“To me last year is history,” he
said. “I’m not concerned any more
about last year.”
Davis has eased tension in his own
mind about his contract by taking a
“whatever will be, will be” attitude.
“If I was supposed to make what I
was asking for, I feel I’ll make it up
one way or another,” he said. “I’ll get
what’s due me, in time.”
Davis isn’t awed by the great ex
pectations the Astros have of him.
“I try to think the opposite, that
I’m not a star,” Davis said. “I don’t
think of myself that way. I’m just a
ball player and I realize this is hard
work.
“If you thought about that kind of
talk, I supposed it could be a prob
lem. We are all human and have hu
man tendencies.”

Iba said he will consider assistant
Coach Charlie Fenske as a possible
assistant on his staff.
“I’ll look into that,” Iba said.
TCU has five scholarships next
year and Iba said, “We’ll just have to
see who is available. We’re looking
for quality athletes.”
Iba asked Killingsworth what he
needed for next year and Kill
ingsworth told him “guards, for
wards and centers. I guess that
ought to cover it.”
Iba said he considers the SWC,
which placed three teams in the
1987 NCAA tournament, one of the
best basketball leagues in the coun
try.
“I was on teams that played
against Coach Dave Bliss at SMU,
Coach (Shelby) Metcalf at Texas
A&M and Gerald Myers at Texas
Tech and they were good,” Iba said.
Iba, the son of 76/-game winning
legendary Oklahoma State Coach
Hank Iba and a cousin of Baylor
Coach Gene Iba, had a 106-71 re
cord in five seasons at Nebraska be
fore he resigned a year ago.
Asked how he would feel going
against his cousin, Iba replied,
“We’re good friends, hut it won’t
bother me.”
Iba resigned immediately after
Nebraska lost to Western Keii|
67-59 in the first round oil

Bid
Mavs' Aguirre to dpologize| n p
for lost Saturday's ejection
PHIL
DALLAS (AP) — Mavericks
forward Mark Aguirre, called a
quitter and a coward by Dallas
Coach Dick Motta after he was
ejected from an NBA game, was
given only the standard fine for
an ejection.
Aguirre, who was thrown out
before halftime in the Mavericks'
122-118 victory over Detroit on
Saturday at Reunion Arena, said
he would apologize to the team
“at the earliest convenience.”
Aguirre, who was starting for
the Mavericks Monday at Phila
delphia, was shoved by teammate
Derek Harper in the earlier
game. He was contrite later.
“I think an apology is needed,”
Aguirre said after the contest.
He had 11 points on 4-of-14
shooting at the time of his ejec
tion and Dallas had a nine-point
lead. Detroit closed to within 67-
62 by halftime.
Aguirre was given the usual
$250 fine for an ejection. One
team member said Aguirre acted
normally on the plane ride from
Dallas, adding that Aguirre has
not apologized to teammates.
Referee Jack Nies had to offi
ciate the Detroit game by himself
after referee Bill Saar was caught
in a scuffle between Mavericks
center James Donaldson and Pis
tons center Bill Laimbeer in the
first minute of the game. Saar
suffered a hyper-extended knee
and couldn’t continue.
Nies ejected Aguirre 20 sec
onds before halftime after
Aguirre complained he was being
roughed up without fouls being
called.
