Former Spur seeks medical help for kidney infection
Agent rebuts worries about Elliot
Tuesd;
The Associated Press
AUBURN HILLS, Mich. -
The Houston Rockets balked at a
deal for Detroit forward Sean El
liott because of a kidney infection
the Piston developed last summer,
Elliott's agent said Monday.
Houston had 48
hours to cancel Friday's
deal that sent Robert
Horry and Matt Bullard
to the Pistons.
The Rockets did so
on Sunday because
Dobek declined to answer oth
er questions.
Billy McKinney, the Pistons' di
rector of player personnel, on
Monday said in a statement that
Elliott is in good health.
"As a result of examination
and treatments conducted by the
team doctors weren't
convinced Elliott's con
dition was acceptable,
agent Burt Kinerk said.
Elliott, a 6-foot-8 for
ward, was in Tucson,
"No doctor has ever told Sean that
this condition does or will prevent
him from playing in the NBA/'

of the Pistons, club spokesman
Matt Dobek said.
He didn't know how long El

day night's game with Atlanta. El
liott remains on the active roster.
Elliott's agent, Burt Kinerk,
said the infection isn't career
threatening.
"This condition has responded
to treatment, and it is much better
now than when he first arrived in
Detroit," Kinerk said. "No doctor
has ever told Sean that this condi
tion does or will prevent him from

Detroit Pistons' medical staff, we
are comfortable with Sean Elliott's
medical condition," McKinney
said. "While the situation does
cause slight concern, we believe
his ability to perform will not be
affected."
Kinerk said Elliott was diag
nosed in June with a kidney infec
tion while still with San Antonio.
He was traded to Detroit for Den
nis Rodman with the Pistons' full
knowledge of the kidney trouble,
Kinerk said.
"Sean passed the physical nec
essary for the trade to Detroit,"
Kinerk said. "He has followed the
course of treatment recommended

Toledo
Continued from Page 8
Homer Smith, who left to coach
at the University of Alabama.
UCLA went to the 1994 Rose
Bowl, losing to
University of Missouri.
"First of all. I'm excited to
have the opportunity to go back
to the Pac-10," Toledo said.
"That is where my parents and
my wife's parents live. It is a
chance to go home, to go back to
my roots."
Toledo returns to the Pac-10,
where he was known for his
wide-open passing style.
Toledo was assistant head
coach and quarterbacks coach at
the University of Oregon from
1983 to 1988.
Toledo takes the place of
Wisconsin.
Slocum fired
Toledo two
days after the
Aggies lost to
Notre Dame in
the 1994 Mobil
Cotton Bowl to
finish the sea
son at 10-2.
Toledo's of
fense scored an
A&M record
404 points.
During Toledo's five-year
tenure at A&M, the Aggies set
offensive records three times.
Toledo
The Aggie offense had
ceived criticism for its into:
tent passing as A&M emp:
sized rushing and defense.
"We were asked to bask;
be a power running
team," Toledo said when he#
dismissed from the A&Mci
ing staff. "I did what hi
asked to do.
" I thought we did a gK
job."
Toledo was born inSanJc
Calif, and was a second-1
All-American quarterbackatS
Francisco State in 1968.
He was a high school foott
coach for six years in Califoi
before become the Universi
Southern California'sseconi
coach in 1976.

sion and Austin newscasts.
Because I was released from
duty at 4:30 p.m., I missed the
men's game. But that didn't
stopi me from flicking through
the television in search of some
news about the Aggies.
"In a gamed marred by a
brawl between Tech fans and the
Aggies," the reporter said.
"Texas A&M's Chuck Hender
son poured in two free throws in
the closing seconds to keep the
Aggies in first place."
Doing my best Arsenio Hall
impression, I wildly cheered for
my buds. I could never do that
as a reporter. But the fight really
upset me. Heck, I took it per
sonally.
For all of you who don't
know these Aggies, let me share
some insights.
These are some level-headed
guys, not guys who would look
for trouble like that.
They probably wouldn't con
sider me a close friend, but I
have developed a professional
relationship that has given me
the chance to dwell into their
lives away from the court.
These guys have their priori
ties in order. Last week, while I
interviewed forward Tony
McGinnis, Dave Edwards and
Joe Wilbert came by and, in a
matter of seconds, we were all
laughing.
Although they all have a
great sense of humor, that is not
their greatest personalities trait.
These guys play ball, not for
future professional contracts, but
for their siblings, parents and
anybody who might be touched
by their successes.
McGinnis, Wilbert and Ed
wards have served as mentors to
select groups of children.
Whether in Bryan, Alabama or
New York, they are not afraid to
be role models - heck they
search for the opportunities.
Because family is important
to McGinnis and Edwards, who
are roommates, they share the
phone calls received by each oth
er's parents.
And Wilbert's commitment to
his troubled former high school
coach has led him to play as a
tribute to his coach.
Those Idiots in Lubbock
picked the wrong guys to mess
with.
These Aggies are family.
"We are Family" would be an
appropriate theme song at the
Holler House. And, like most
good sons would, some Aggies
defended their coach.
Wilbert has replaced Julio Ce
sar Chavez as my favorite ath
lete. Well, he'll have to share
that honor with Lady Aggie
point guard Lisa Branch.
Branch is another class act
who resides at the Holler House
She knows I was cheering foi
her and the rest of the
knock off Tech.
"What do you meanyouaR
not covering our game?'"
asked me last week. "Youal
ways cover our games.
I assured her that I wouldh

"Hey, at least I'll be abl

"You know that at press
can't cheer for A&M."
She just smiled. But hers©
was nothing compared to
one on my face on Sunday.
On Saturday, my Guardk:
dies laughed at me when Isa:
A&M would beat Tech, andt 1
Sunday it was my turn.
