HOUSTON (AP) — It’s been a
season of adjustment for the Hous
ton Rockets’Joe Barry Carroll.
Carroll started the first 14 games
of the NBA season with the Golden
State Warriors, where he was booed
and carried the uncomplimentary
nickname of “Joe Barely Cares.”
Since coming to the Rockets Dec.
12 with Sleepy Floyd in exchange for
Ralph Sampson, Carroll has shown
that his stoic demeanor on the court
doesn’t reflect his desire.
Carroll’s latest gem was Tuesday
night when he scored 21 points,
grabbed 12 rebounds, and blocked
five shots in Houston’s 109-99 vic
tory oyer Phoenix.
Carroll has had to adjust to his
new role as a bench player and as a
Rocket, and he must face the basket
more in relief of Jim Petersen.
“When I came in (to Houston) I
had to accept that I would be facing
the basket more and playing against
smaller guys,” Carroll said. “It takes
me out of my offense a little more
because I have to shoot from differ
ent places.”
But Carroll is learning.
He scored 16 points and got six
rebounds in Friday’s 108-92 victory
over Midwest division-leading Dal
las. His high for the year was 25
points and 13 rebounds against De
troit on Dec. 29.
“The past month has been like
training camp for me,” Carroll said.
“I’ve had to get in a different kind of
condition and coming off the bench
has compounded the adjustment.”
Carroll is slowly uncrating his
jump shot.
“The adjustment is ongoing but
we’re getting better,” he said. “I got
in a few good jumpers from outside
and I was passing the ball good.”
Carroll hit seven straight points
late in the fourth quarter after the
Suns had pulled within one point of
the Rockets.
“He did a great job on the offen
sive boards and got some good de
fensive rebounds,” Houston Coach
Bill Fitch said. “He played hard to
night. I’m glad he’s on our team.”
Carroll has played so well that
Fitch has been questioned about not
starting Caroll ahead of Petersen,
who went one for six against the
Suns and scored four points.
“Who starts is a coaching deci
sion,” Carroll said. “It’s my job to ad
just and contribute. There’s no con
troversy between Pete and me.”
The Rockets host New Jersey
Thursday as Houston tries to gain
ground on the Mavericks.
S Former Browns’ coach
named to lead Packers
GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — Lindy
Infante, the offensive coordinator
who helped the Cleveland Browns to
consecutive appearances in the AFC
championship game, took over
Wednesday as head coach of the
Green Bay Packers.
“I didn’t take this job to be here
two or three years and be a loser,”
Infante told a news conference.
“We’ll work our tails off. We’ll be
a winner.
Infante, 47, signed a five-year
contract, the details of which were
not released.
Tom Braatz, Packers executive
vice president of football operations,
said Infante’s expertise on offense is
what made him attractive.
“Over the last four or five years . .
. he’s been highly regarded as one of
the best offensive coordinators in
the NFL,” Braatz said.
Infante said he would call the
plays next season, and did not ex
pect to name an offensive coordina
tor.
Green Bay struggled on offense
last season when it finished 5-9-1,
but Infante said that didn’t worry
him.
“We’ll be as multiple an offense as
the players allow us to be once we get
a system installed,” he said. “I be
lieve a wide variety of things on of
fense will get the job done.”
Infante was the Packers’ second
choice to replace Forrest Gregg, who
resigned last month after four years
to become head coach at Southern
Methodist University.
Michigan State Coach George
Perles last week turned down a re
ported five-year contract worth
$2.25 million.
Before he joined the Browns in
February of 1986, Infante was head
coach of the Jacksonville Bulls of the
United States Football League in
1984 and 1985. He compiled a re
cord of 15-21.
Infante was named the Cincinnati
Bengals’ offensive coordinator in
1982 and for two years before that
was the team’s quarterbacks and re
ceivers coach.
The Packers have had only four
winning seasons since they won two
straight Super Bowl championships
in 1967 and 1968. There have been
four coaches since Vince Lombardi
resigned in 1968, and none have
brought the Packers to a
championship game.
Mackovic named
coach for Illinois
CHAMPAIGN, Ill. (AP) — John
Mackovic, who previously coached
Wake Forest and the Kansas City
Chiefs, was named head football
coach at the University of Illinois on
Wednesday.
He said the Illini offense will be
patterned on the pro-style drop back
passing attack.
His goal, he said, was eventually to
make Illinois the national champion.
Mackovic was described as man of
exceptionally high integrity and
honesty by Chancellor Morton Weir,
as he introduced the new coach at a
news conference.
“Try as we did, we could not find
a single person who would question
his record in that regard,” said Weir.
Mackovic, 44, replaces eight-year
veteran Coach Mike White, who re
signed Jan. 18 after charges of re
cruiting violations by the NCAA and
the university. Illinois’ football pro
gram was placed on probation in
1984 for a long list of infractions.
“No doubt there have been disap
pointments and frustrations and
that’s why I am here,” said Mackovic,
who has been out of football since
his dismissal by,the Chiefs a year
ago. “We will operate, accordingly,
within the rules.”
Illini defensive coordinator How
ard Tippett had campaigned hard
for the job and said he had support
from players, staff members and
high school coaches around Illinois.
Ohio State assistant Jim Colletto and
former Northwestern Coach Dennis
Green also interviewed, the Champ-
aign-Urbana News-Gazette re
ported.
“I’d like this to be the best athletic
program in the United States,” said
Mackovic, who stressed a balance be
tween academics and athletics. “We
want to play; we want to win; but, we
also want our fellows to graduate.”
He said he would stress to his staff
that each assistant coach shares re
sponsibility with him for abiding by
the rules, and “if there is any ques
tion (about a recruiting activity),
don’t do it.”
Ex-WTSU coach files suit
to prevent hiring of new one
CANYON (AP) — Fired West
Texas State football coach Bill Kelly
has filed suit to delay the hiring of a
new coach until he can appeal his
dismissal to the university, his attor
ney said Wednesday.
District Judge David Gleason is
sued a restraining order Tuesday af
ter the lawsuit was filed requesting
the university to hold off hiring a
new coach for 10 days, attorney Jim
Bob Brown said.
Also named in the suit were
WTSU President Ed D. Roach and
Athletic Director Bruce Grimes.
Brown said the suit was filed after
rumors circulated that WTSU was
close to naming a replacement for
Kelly, fired Friday.
It a new coach were named, “we
would be denied our right to go
through the university process on
Coach Kelly’s tiring,” Brown said.
Such an appeal would be based on
the fact that Kelly’s three-year con
tract was terminated with two years
remaining and the coach had abided
by its terms, Brown said.
Kelly had an 18-13-1 record in
three years with the Buffaloes, and
suffered his first losing season in 15
years with a 5-6 record last season.
In announcing Kelly’s firing,
Grimes cited major philosophical
differences between Kelly and the
university.
Grimes declined comment on the
suit Tuesday night because the mat
ter is the subject of pending liti
gation.
Grimes and Roach met Tuesday
morning discussing the avenues
available concerning West Texas’ va
cated footballjob.
