OU’s Tubbs considering Lamar move
TULSA, Okla. (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

sons and eight consecutive appear

Hogs’ Richardson

DALLAS (AP) — When the fi

had beaten Texas for a berth in
the Final Four, Nolan Richard

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

UTEP’s Haskins joins OU’s Tubbs in Lamar hunt

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.
Chronic laryngitis forced Haskins, |
59, to miss most of last season. Assis

for the final three months and led
