EDINBURG, Texas (AP)— Tim
Hicks, the first-year coach of the Pan
American women’s basketball team,
is a fiery competitor who hates to
lose.
So he was more than a little un
happy in talking about the Lads
Broncs. who were 7-17 in 1986-87,
0-27 last year, and 0-7 this season.
Pan American has lost 36 straight
■vwomen’s basketball games, which
ties two other schools — Utah State
and Coppin State — for the second
worst ever, and is only one game be
hind the current mark of 37 held by
Brooklyn College.
Hicks knew some of the- conse
quences of accepting his first head
coaching job at a school that had not
won a game in 19 months. Hicks had
been at Pan American in 1985 as a
E aduate assistant to men’s hasket-
II coach Lon Kruger. Kruger left
in 1986 to succeed Jack Hartman at
Kansas State, and Hicks went to Cof-
feyville Community College in Kan
sas.
“I knew something about the pro-
S ram from the time I spent here.
ut even though coaches are hired
into this type of situation all the
time, it was frustrating hetause 1
couldn't recruit."
Hicks was hired by Pan American
on Sept. 1, only two months before
the team traveled to Oklahoma for
its First game, and so was unable to
recruit the players that would fit his
basketball philosophy.
His first problem when he took
over was the loss of Pan American's
top two players — center Kelley
Crouch and forward Cheryl Boyle.
After suffering through the 0-27
season, both Boyle and Crouch de
cided to transfer to Austin Ckillege.
Boyle played the last 10 games of last
season with stitches in her right eye
and contusions in both legs.
“They both thought it was in their
best interest to leave the program,
although there is a chance Kellev will
he back," Hicks said.
Compounding Hicks' woes was
the academic ineligibility of two
other plavers.
At tne same time, the Lady Broncs
are playing the toughest schedule in
school history. Among the oppo
nents are Oklahoma. Alabama.
Texas A&M. Texas Christian and
Texas-EJ Paso, as well as conference
foes New Orleans and defending na
tional champion Louisiana Tech.
Pan American lost their first six
games this season by a combined to
tal of 296 points — an average loss of
49.3 points per contest. That’s a
slight improvement over last year,
when Pan American was outscored
by 51 points per contest.
“I’m not sure what the scheduling
rationale was," Hicks said. “Not only
are we in the American South, which
includes the defending national
champions, but we have to play
teams from the Big Eight and the
’Southwest Conference before enter
ing conference play.”
Hicks said the only way to get Pan
American’s women basketbidl pro
gram on the winning track “is to do
good recruiting and get players who
can compete at this level. We can be
competitive at this level, but not until
we get more scholarship players.” •
The Lady Broncs have no juniors
or seniors and no starters over 6 feet
tall.
“We have a good hall-handling
club, hut we donT have the kids that
can shoot from the perimeter."
Hicks said. “To us (the coaching
staff), getting better is a matter of re
cruiting four or five more players."
