FREEMAN Of The Associated Press Battalion file photo 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 That’s about all I knew howtodo, Metcalf hasn’t been back to Rollie White Coliseum to see gies play, but has caught somegm on television and the radio, He follows with interest the ports about who will replace him Asked about Idaho coach Kei; Davis, Metcalf said, “1 Ico o against his dad at Mississippi Si, He and his dad are both pie.

GC TUX ^gTUDENT RNMENT AfcM UNIVERSITY) By RICHARD TIJERINA Of The Battalion Staff 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. Rockets ship Chievous off to Cavs Spark Some Interest! (Jse the Battalion Classifieds.
