Analysis

Shelby Metcalf said he’s waiting for some nice weather to
go fishing. He’s also been keeping up with A&M basketball.
DALLAS (AP) — Shelby Metcalf
— remember him? — spends his
days taking care of two cats and a
dog and reading a shoe box full of
mail.
He recently beat what he called
“flu from bell” and has watched nu
merous basketball games on tele
vision “trying to figure out how I
fouled up.”
Metcalf may be down, but you
couldn’t kill his sense of humor with
liquid edger.
“I’m just waiting for the weather
to get nice so I can get after the fish
on Lake Gig ’Em,” he said.
“I’d probably make a pretty good
fishing guide except I don’t like fish
ing when the weather is bad.”
Metcalf, as the British wovdd say,
is keeping a stiff upper lip.
T he job of his lire as Texas A&M
University basketball coach was over
as suddenly as a game when the op
ponent hits a winning three-point
shot at the buzzer.
On Monday, Jan. 23, the 59-year-
old Metcalf was given the gate after
27 years as head basketball coach.
The combination of the sudden
firing by Athletic Director John Da
vid Crow and lingering influenza
put Metcalf in his own personal twi
light zone.
He had nowhere to go, nothing to
do.
“I’d been coaching since 1955 and
then it was over just like that," H,
calf said. “Coaching and fislj

The Texas A&M men’s tennis team hosts Southwest
Texas State Thursday at the Omar Smith Tennis Cen
ter, weather permitting.
Ironically, the match is being played Thursday be
cause it was rescheduled after it was postponed Feb. 9
because of rainy weather. Bryan-College Station was hit
with hard rain Wednesday, and whether Thursday’s
tennis match will he able to be played remains unclear.
One thing that’s clearly evident is the strong start the
Aggies (3-1) are making in the 1990 season.
Behind the play of senior Shaun O’Donovan, the Ag
gies advanced to the championship round of last week
end’s Indiana Indoor Team Tournament. A&M fell to
Indiana in the final round, hut won its first three
matches to reach it.
O’Donovan improved his season singles record to 4-0
last weekend, including an upset of Michigan’s David
Kass, the nation’s 18th-ranked plaver.
“I really would like to stress now well O’Donovan
played,” A&M coach David Kent said. “Two of the wins
lie had this weekend were as big as anybody has had at
Texas A&M since 1985. It was really a great trip.”
A&M and SWT met last October when the two
schools competed in the A&M 4-Way Tournament.
The schools matched up eight times in the open tourna
ment, and the Aggies won six of the matches. A&M won
three of five singles matches and all three doubles meet-
in & s - . . , .
Kent has moved to within four victories of the 400-
victory mark. With his wins last weekend, Kent’s career
record stands at 396-170 for a winning percentage of
.699. He’s tied with Michigan coach Brian Eisner for
fifth on the list of winningest active coaches.
