(AP) — Oklahoma basketball coach Billy Tubbs, who has said over the years that he always listens to an offer, met with Lamar University officials last week, accord ing to Tubbs’ wife and the school’s chancellor. Lamar, which fired Tony Branch as head coach, flourished under Tubbs in the late 1970s. The Cardi nals had back-to-back 20-win seasons and NCAA tournament appear ances in Tubbs’ final two years at the Beaumont school. Chancellor George McLaughlin told the Tulsa World that he met with Tubbs on Friday and he “did not turn us down.” McLaughlin indi cated that Lamar expected a deci sion from Tubbs this week. Tubbs’ wife, Pat, said he was out of town Tuesday but confirmed that he met with Lamar officials last week. “He has talked to them. He went there last week, but that’s all I can say,” Mrs. Tubbs told The Tulsa Tri bune. Tubbs left Lamar in 1980 to re place Dave Bliss at Oklahoma. Since a 9-18 record in Tubbs’ first year in Norman, the Sooners have put to gether nine consecutive 20-win sea sons and eight consecutive appear ances in the NCAA tournament.

Sports Focus: NCAA Final Four TOY, AGONY OF VICTOR? Hogs’ Richardson remembers daughter DALLAS (AP) — When the fi nal horn sounded and Arkansas had beaten Texas for a berth in the Final Four, Nolan Richard son's thoughts were elsewhere. “I’ve got a young girl I wish was here. That was my first She’s the reason I’m still around coaching. To me, whether or not she’s with me here, I know she’s here in spirit.” —Nolan Richardson, Arkansas coach Photo by Phelan M. Ebenhack Arkansas coach Nolan Richardson, who leads the Razorbacks against Duke Saturday, still grieves for his daughter. thought,” Richardson said after Saturday’s 88-85 victory over his Southwest Conference rivals. “Yvonne, we got one for you, baby, and we’re gonna get some more.” Yvonne Richardson died of leukemia in 1987. Richardson has spoken often about how difficult it was for him to leave his daugh ter at the hospital to return to Fayetteville, Ark., to coach. “She’s the reason I’m still around coaching,” he said. “To me, whether or not she’s with me here, I know she’s here in spirit. Somehow she’s sitting back and smiling down, saying ‘I told you, dad, if you do what you say you’re gonna do, you’ll be there some day.’ ” The seventh-ranked Razor- backs will take a 30-4 record to the Final Four against Duke, win ner of the East Regional. The last time Arkansas won that many games was 1978, when it last made it to what Richardson calls “the big dance.” He will take a team that is loaded with talented young play- ei s, but has outstanding senior leadership in players like Lenzic Howell and Mario Credit. Howell was named most valu able player of the Midwest Re gional after scoring 25 points against North Carolina in the semifinals and 21 against Texas on Saturdav. Sixteen of hispoims against Texas came in the firs.. minutes of the game. "Lenzie Howell has come toh hometown time and time again and proven he is probably one of the best players in the countrs, Richardson said. “Not in thel Southwest Conference — in tht country.

The two earlier losses to Arkansas w'ere by scores of 109-100 and 103-96, in overtime. “That’s the reason I think Ar kansas has a great chance to go all the way — they’re so hard to match up with,” Penders said. “They’re an excellent basketball learn.” R; PGR UTEP’s Haskins joins OU’s Tubbs in Lamar hunt Hike p l//le,f He I with tl EL PASO (AP) — Texas-El Paso basketball coach Don Haskins has talked with Lamar University offi cials about their vacant head coach ing position, the El Paso Times re ported. Haskins, who discussed the open ing with Lamar officials on Sunday, is among the leading candidates for the job, Lamar Chancellor George McLaughlin said. “We’re very high on Don Haskins. Yes, I have spoken to him,” Mc Laughlin told the newspaper. The position opened this month when Tony Branch was fired after the Cardinals went 7-21, the school’s worst season ever. Lamar is an NCAA Division I school and a mem ber of the American South Confer ence. It is located in Beaumont. Television station KJAC in Port Arthur said Haskins was frustrated with UTEP’s athletic department ad ministration. Haskins, who has coached at UTEP for 29 years, did not return phone calls.
