November 7, 1990 The Battalion Page 9 Mays bop Knicks, 96-91 behind Blackman’s 20 NEW YORK (AP) — Rolando Blackman scored 20 points, includ ing a go-ahead layup with 37 sec onds remaining, as the Dallas Mav ericks rallied from a 16-point deficit Tuesday night and handed the New York Knicks their second straight home loss 96-91. The Knicks, who blew a 19-point lead in losing to Boston at Madison Square Garden on Saturday night, never trailed in the second half against the Mavericks until the final two minutes. Dallas, trailing 49-33 late in the second quarter, scored the final seven points of the half and tied the score eight times before taking the lead 90-89 on Blackman’s two free throws with 1:55 left. Charles Oakley’s rebound dunk gave the Knicks a one-point lead with 1:38 remaining but Blackman’s layup put Dallas ahead for good. Roy Tarpley led Dallas with 29 points. Patrick Ewing had 26 points and Oakley 18 rebounds for New York. Coogs. Continued from page 8 International coaches poll. “We don’t think you ought to break a rule and win the championship,” said Charlie Mc Clendon, executive director of the coaches association. “It’s unfair. You’re playing under a different set of rules.” McClendon said it made no dif ference that the crimes for which Houston was cited began in 1978, when quarterback David Klingler and running back Chuck Weath- erspoon were in grade school, play ing peewee football. “That was two coaches and one athletic director ago,” said Klingler, who has thrown for 34 touchdowns and 3,570 yards this season. ‘We don’t make the NCAA rules,” McClendon said. “We just follow them. If you’re on probation with them, then you’re on probation with us. They’re a non-program as far as we’re concerned.” Don James, coach of No. 2 Wash ington, agrees with McClendon. “You can always argue that it’s usually the team that played three or four years ago that got them in trou ble,” he said. “If you go out and cheat and you win games because of it, you do enjoy the visibility. It still does help. So from my standpoint, I would be strongly opposed to having a team on probation win a championship.” Darrell Christian, sports editor of the AP, explained the news agency’s position. “Probation and other sanc tions are imposed by the NCAA, not the AP, and none of those sanctions specify that a team cannot win a na tional championship,” he said. “If a team is allowed to play, and therefore be compared with others on the field, it logically follows that it should be allowed to be compared with others off the field. That’s the foundation of the AP poll — to de termine, according to the collective judgment of a select national panel of sports writers and broadcasters, the best teams in the country.” Houston has three games to play — on the road at Texas this week and then home to Eastern Washing ton before finishing with Arizona State in Tokyo Dec. 2. A sweep would mean an 11-0 season and pos sibly the first split national championship since 1978, when Ala bama finished first in the AP poll and Southern California topped the UPI vote. Twice before, teams on probation won the AP national championship. In 1974, Oklahoma began the year as No. 1 and won 11 straight games to finish No. 1. Auburn went 10-0 in 1957 and was crowned national champion while under NCAA sanc tions that kept them from the bowls. Jim Phillips was an All-American end on that Auburn team. “Back then, Auburn was a small town and there was no hype,” he said. “The people knew little about probation. All we knew was some thing had happened that we had nothing to do with. We felt it was un justified, that we were being pun ished for something some other coach had done and we didn’t know why.” Phillips said Auburn’s players did not realize the implications of the sanctions. “We were led to believe we might get off probation in time to be in a bowl game,” he said. “That was in the back of our minds, that the case would be reviewed and we’d still be invited. It didn’t happen.” And so, on Jan. 1, 1958, the bowl games were played and Auburn stayed home. “It was an empty feeling, sitting there knowing we were the best team but there was nothing we could do about it,” Phillips said. “It helped a great deal that we won the national championship. We got championship rings. I still have mine and it brings back great memories.” Barnes. Continued from page 7 ciated Press obtained through John M. Dowd, Barnes’ lawyer, the TAG official also said that a breach in the confidentiality of the tests was in vio lation of IAAF rules, casting “doubt on the procedures as a whole.” Dowd also said that Barnes had tested negative for drugs 12 days be fore and five days after the positive test was administered. Reynolds issued a statement from Washington, D.C., on Monday, also attributing the positive test result to “some fallacy in the drug testing sys tem.” Reynolds, who holds the world re cord at 400 meters, said that “people who know Butch Reynolds know that I have always been one of the strongest proponents of random year-round drug testing. ...” “Believe me,” he said, “the results ... are completely inconsistent with my history and, to my knowledge, cannot be supported medically.” Under IAAF rules, a two-year sus pension is mandatory for first-time steroid offenses, but TAG has rules allowing for a hearing on an appeal before it honors any suspension. Al though IAAF officials were not im mediately available on Tuesday in London, they were expected to await the result of the TAG appeals before deciding whether to impliment the suspensions. “According to the Operations Regulations of TAC-USA, an athlete who tests positive is entitled to apply for a stay and to a hearing on that stay before the news of the positive drug test can be announced to the media,” TAG president Frank Greenberg said in a statement. “While the IAAF is not bound by our rules, TAG is expected to ad here to the letter of its own laws. “Therefore, until the appropriate time under our rules, we will not comment on any positive tests.” TAG gave no indication of when it would set dates for appeals. Dowd accused the IAAF of “blind-siding” Barnes and was in censed that reputation-damaging in formation was leaked even before the second part of the drug test could be completed. “They assured me of confidential ity,” Dowd said. “You can’t condemn a man without a hearing, and that’s what they did yesterday. They smeared Randy Barnes without a hearing.” Holt denied in a letter to Dowd that any of the information on Bar nes had been leaked from the IAAF. In a letter to TAG, Dowd said Barnes should be granted a stay of the suspension since “the collection, transfer and testing of the urine samples attributed to Randy Barnes were wholly unreliable.” Barnes set the shot put record of 75 feet 10'A inches last May in Los Angeles. Reynolds set the 400-meter mark of 43.29 seconds in Zurich, Switzerland, two years ago. Dr. Arne Ljungqvist of Sweden, a member of the lAAF’s medical com mittee, said Barnes tested positive for the steroid methyltestosterone after an Aug. 7 meet in Malmo, Swe den. Reynolds tested positive for the steroid nandralone after an Aug. 12 meet in Monte Carlo. V. PLEASE PRESENT WHEN ORDERING.
