Rockets fire Don Chaney
Baylor hosts Aggies, again
HOUSTON (AP) - Don
Chaney, NBA coach of the year in
1991 but whose team was
struggling this season, was fired
by the Houston Rockets on
Tuesday.
Assistant Rudy Tomjanovich,
who played 11 seasons for the
Rockets and is one of two
Houston players to have his
number retired, was named
interim head coach.

had to we got after them and won
the games."
Johnson said there were some
flaws in the Aggies' two-win
performance.
"I was really disappointed
that we didn't come out as ready
as we wanted," he said. "We
made so many mistakes in the
first game it was embarrassing.
But we won two games, and that
is something to start with, and it
is good to be back home again."
Johnson also said his club had
improved in the first ten games,
which was something they
needed to do before this
"You can't fire the team and
something had to be done,"
owner Charlie Thomas said.
"Once you see that things are
deteriorating, you have to do
something. I'm not blaming Don
Chaney. Everyone is accountable
and that includes me."
Chaney, 45, became the
Rockets' eighth coach in the
franchise's 24-year history June
13,1988.
weekend's series with the
University of Houston.
"I think we're a lot closer than
we were to being ready to play
the conference teams, and the
more work we get from our
pitchers, the more comfortable
they feel.
The big inning rallies the
Aggies have been capitalizing on,
Johnson said, have the A&M
coaching staff concerned about
the lack of consistency at the
plate.
"We haven't been scoring
consistently, and that concerns
me," Johnson said. "We've just
got a lot of guys who aren't
hitting well right now and they
will get back in their groove."
Continued from Page 5
pitals. Four were sent to Dallas
for further treatment and were
released two days later.
A&M head coach Tony
Barone, who himself was
hospitalized briefly in Waco,
said that the bizarre incident
affected the players at first, but
now they have recovered and
are ready to play.
"Once the seriousness of the
roblem became evident, the
ids and our coaching staff were
able to deal with it in a positive
way," Barone said. "The initial
reporting on the problem didn't
indicate how serious it was and
what had happened. Once it
did, it brought back bad
memories for our kids.
"But we can't worry about
the past, and we can't use it as
an excuse. The kids have
bounced back, and I don't think
it is an issue with us."
The Aggies, 4-16, are
suffering their worst season
since 1954-55. They have yet to
win a Southwest Conference
game this season in eight tries.
A&M won its last game over
Texas Southern last Thursday,
75-67, which ended its 12-game
losing streak. The Aggies' last
SWC regular season win was
against Baylor, 66-61, at the
Ferrell Center on February 20,
1991.
The Bears, 3-6 in SWC action
and 11-11 overall, have lost their
last three games. Their last loss
was to Texas Tech in Lubbock
on Saturday, 84-79.
The Bears' ace is guard
David Wesley, who leads the
conference in scoring with a 25.3
average. Baylor's starting
forwards, Kelvin Chalmers and
Willie Sublett, are averaging
13.6 and 9.2 points a game,
respectively.

haven't had that much time.
A&M coach Mark Johnson said
the shortened fall practice has
had an effect on his team.
A&M also has a young
pitching staff. Of the 17 pitchers
on the A&M roster, nine of them
are making their first major
college appearances.
"Inexperience is always a
disadvantage," Johnson said of
the Aggies' pitching. "We're
playing quite a few guys that
don't have experience. The
problem you have with
inexperience is that you have all
kinds of growth patterns."
The only way the Aggie
pitching staff will grow is by
getting to pitch some innings.
That will happen in time.
Pitching might not have to
be the strength of the Aggies
this season. The bats of the
Aggies could be sticking it to
opponents all season.
A&M's returns a veteran
infield with first baseman
Conrad Colby, second baseman
Jason Marshall, shortstop Mike
Hickey and third baseman
Travis Williams. All four of
those players can hit and
combined with outfielder Brian
Thomas, should form a
formidable veteran corps of
hitters.
And there are also some new
players who can hit. Freshman
outfielder Scott Smith and junior
Eric Gonzalez have proven early
on that they will be fine
additions to the Aggies lineup.
The only thing the Aggies
have to worry about during the
early part of the season is their
confidence.
The losses to Rice and
Arizona shouldn't faze the team.
Rice was the Aggies' first
opponent this season and
Arizona is the No.14 team in the
nation. Losses are going to
happen in baseball. Even the
immortal 1989 team lost seven
times.
"That's the scary thing about
starting the season this early,"
Johnson said. "You don't want
to get that confidence level
shaken in any way. And that's
dangerous when that happens.
You don't know how guys are
going to respond."
A few wins this weekend
against conference rival
Houston should have the
Aggies back in form.
Something tells me that the
Aggies will be able to respond
to the early season losses and
push all the right buttons when
the stretch run starts.
Continued from Page 5
the Lady Aggies if they wanted to
finish near the top in the
conference race.
"If we even want a chance to
finish higher than fifth in the
conference we've got to win, no
if's, and's or huts about it,"
Hickey said. "This is a have-to
win, and if we play like we are
capable of playing, we should be
all right. But we can't walk in
there thinking Baylor is going to
be an easy win."
The earlier game time, Hickey
said, could have some negative
affects on the Lady Aggies'
performance, since it would alter
their regular pre-game
preparation.
"We're not going to be able to
have a team shoot-around, and
some of the kids are going to have
to miss classes," she said. "A lot
of things are going to disrupt our
pre-game preparation.
There are a lot of factors that
are going to test our concentration
going into this game, including
the men playing after us, so we
need to stay focused."
The Lady Aggies, 13-10 overall
and 5-5 in conference play,
defeated Baylor earlier this season
73-64 in G. Rollie White Coliseum.
A&M disrupted Baylor's
gameplan with full-court
pressure, and Hickey said she and
her staff plan on using pressure
defense again since the Bears had
trouble with it.
"We're going to have to stay in
more man-defense than we had
last time," she said. "But we are
going to use the full court
pressure quite a bit, because even
though they shoot so well from
the three-point line, we think we
might take some chances by
putting pressure on their ball
handlers."
Baylor fought back to make
the game close in the first contest,
mainly by switching zone
defenses, Hickey said her team
had trouble making the
adjustment to the defense.
"We've had trouble all year
with our halfcourt offense playing
against zone defenses, and I think
the key to countering that is that
we have a good shooting night,"
she said. "Our last two outings
we shot about 35 percent from the
floor, so we need to shoot well
and do a good job on the boards."
The biggest key to beating the
Bears, Hickey said, was
containing top scorer LaNita
Luckey. Luckey scored 24 points
in the first meeting between the
two teams, and is averaging 18.1
points per game.
"Luckey is one of the top
scorers in the conference," she
said. "She's about 5'11" and can
play inside as well as shoot the
three-point shot. She's just a real
good player who plays more like
a power forward than a center."
