A Part of the Division of Student Services
SAN ANTONIO (AP) - The
San Antonio Spurs fired coach
Larry Brown at his own request
Tuesday, ending his 3 1/2 years
with a team that won two Mid
west Division championships
but struggled this season.
Brown's termination fol
lowed two road losses and two
stormy days of dealings with
owner Red McCombs in which
Brown reportedly was fired then
rehired before
being fired a sec
ond time.
It marks the
first time Brown
has been termi
nated in his 20
years of coach
ing basketball.
"Larry was
more and more feeling that I
didn't have the confidence in
him that he would have liked to
have had," McCombs said at a
hastily called news conference
Tuesday morning.
"He requested that he be ter
minated. I didn't expect that. It
certainly was not contemplat
ed," McCombs said. "It's a very
unusual situation to be asked to
be terminated."
Brown was not at the news
conference and did not return a
telephone call from The Associ
ated Press.
Brown will be replaced for
the rest of the season by Bob
Bass, Spurs vice president of bas
ketball operations, who has
coached the Spurs and other
teams in the past.
Bass, who last coached the
Spurs in the 1983-84 season after
Morris McHone was fired, was
to lead the team in Tuesday
night's home game against the
Los Angeles Clippers. The assis
tant coaching staff will remain
with the team the remainder of
the season, Bass said.
The Spurs
will begin a
search for a new
head coach for
next year.
Despite pub
lished reports
that McCombs
had fired then
rehired Brown
after a turbulent meeting Mon
day, the Spurs owner said he
considered Brown the head
coach until he didn't show up at
a Tuesday meeting and the
team's shoot-around.
"Larry has made a great con
tribution here," McCombs said.
"We are all the better for it. I
wish it was the kind of thing that
could have lasted forever."
Brown's record was 153-131
as Spurs coach. This season, San
Antonio has posted a 21-17
record so far.
Bass, McCombs and assistant
coach Gregg Popovich met with
Spurs players Tuesday to tell
of the cc
them
coaching decision.
McCombs, a Texas aluntj
has been friends with Pend
since the Longhorns coach camj
Austin in 1988. The two reguljj
have attended several of eacha
ers' games every season since.
Penders has been rumotl
AUSTIN (AP) — San Antonio
owner Red McCombs may not
have to look very far to replace
Larry Brown, fired Tuesday as the
Spurs' coach.
Texas Longhorns coach Tom
Penders has been mentioned be
fore as a possible
Spurs coach, and
as recently as last,
week McCombs
said Penders
would be a likely
coach to fill any
Spurs vacancy.
"As far as if I
think Tom Pen
ders can coach in
the NBA, the an
swer is yes. As far
as if I'd consider
him if I had a
coaching vacancy,
the answer is yes,"
McCombs said last
week in an inter
view.
During a
weekly Southwest
Conference coach
es conference call
with reporters
Tuesday, Penders
declined comment
on his interest in Tom Penders could be a viable
the job.
said he
been contacted by McCombs.
"Of course I got to know Red
when I first moved here," Penders
said. "He's a strong UT-ex and
very supportive of our program.
"I'm saddened to hear (about
Brown's firing)," he said.

nant team in football. It didn't
matter what kind of field they
were playing on, they were the
best — Case closed. Nothing will
change this Sunday.
Why?
They have better players.
They match up very well against
the Bills. They are an NFC team
— Three very good reasons.
Jim Kelly is a great quarter
back who is having a good year.
Mark Rypien is an average quar
terback having a great year. The
Bills offense has sputtered a little
bit this season. The Redskins
have been clicking on all cylin
ders.
The matchup to watch Sun
day will be the Redskins Posse,
their receiving corps of Art
Monk, Gary Clark and Ricky
Sanders. It will be interesting to
see how they fair against the sec
ondary of the Bills led by safeties
Mark Kelso and Leonard Smith
and cornerback Kirby Jackson.
The Redskin receivers should
have a field day against the Bill's
secondary.
The only person capable of
stopping the Redskins is Thur
man Thomas. The Bills running
back is the best at his position in
all of football. If the Bills decide
to give him the ball every play,
they have a chance to win the
game. That should about sum up
the Bills chance for victory.
The AFC is just plain weak.
An 8-8 team made the playoffs in
the AFC. The NFC team with the
worst record in the playoffs was
Dallas. They were 11-5 and also
won a playoff game.
The Bills are the best team in
the AFC. But is that really sucha
good thing? Try to name three
good teams in the AFC? Get
back to me when you have the
answer.
Last year's 20-19 New York
Giant win over the Bills was one
of the best Super Bowl's ever.
And a lot of people think that
this year's game could be that
same kind of good game.
Rypien will throw for 300 yards
and three touchdown passes and
the 'Skins will roll 35-17.
Last year it was the Giants,
