That conference was cited by Crow as the reason for the reassignment. “The situation as a whole was han dled wrong,” Novak said. Several students seemed to expect and even welcome the coaching change. “He’s a good guy, but he’s been around too long and a change had to be made,” Kiko Rendon, a senior civil engineering major, said. Sam Noble, a senior psychology major, said the recent events com bined with the Aggies’ mediocre re cords in 1988 and 1989 combined to make the change inevitable. “It was to be expected after Satur day,” he said. “The Aggies’ overall record was not exactly the best in the Southwest Conference the last few years.” Jim Howard, a freshman business major, said that although Metcalf was a good coach, the time had come to say goodbye. “He has gained respect over the past 26 years, but he wasn’t getting the job done, so it was time to let him go,” he said. Glenn Frost, a freshman business major, was more direct. “It should have happened a long time ago,” he said. “He’s past his pri me.” Jimmie Martin, a senior industrial distribution major, had an opinion that nicely summed up many opin ions. “Shelby has been around a long time and has done a good job,” he said, “but I think he has lost touch with the times, and he’s had trouble recruiting. I’m glad to see some young blood come in to get us to be the power we should be. We’re a power in football, we’re a power in baseball, we’re a power in track, and we need to be a power in basketball, too.” Conference (Continued from page 1) several graduate schools Friday dur ing the career fair.
