Gonzalez a no-show for awan The Associated Press ARLINGTON — Days after signing a record $45.45 million Mavs squeak by Minnesota The Associated Press DALLAS — Doug Smith scored five of his 20 points in overtime Tuesday night, includ ing a key tip-in with 31 seconds left, and the Dallas Mavericks de feated Minnesota 108-105, their fourth victory over the Timber- wolves this season.

The Bucks, blown out 115-94 on Saturday by Seattle, the team with the best record in the NBA, held their own with the Rockets, who own the second-best record, now at 33-12. Milwaukee, with a record of just 14-33, played its best game of the season in winning for just the sixth time in 23 home games. The Bucks led 73-68 after three quarters and used a 12-2 run, including five points from Ken Norman, to stretch their lead to 91-79 with 4:58 The Associated Press remaining. HOUSTON - The Houston Oilers on Tuesday hired Dick Coury as offensive coordinator to help diversify the team's run-and- shoot offense. The Oilers also announced that offensive coordinator Kevin Gilbride had been promoted to as sistant head coach on offense. The announcement of Coury's hiring had been planned for Mon day, but Gilbride did notretur from his Hawaii vacation in time: attend the news conference. "We feel like he's going to be; giant asset to us," said Oilers' ge: eral manager Floyd Reese. Houston still has yet to Mi defensive coordinator to replace Buddy Ryan, who left theOilersal ter one year to become head coad of the Phoenix Cardinals. Rivals Continued from Page 5 face and Patterson was knocked unconscious. A real KO. Patterson said he was trying to break up the fight between Barone and the other fans and he has pressed assault charges with the Texas Tech University Police. If it is true that Patterson was moving in to break up the fight then he should be commended for his bravery or questioned for his stupidity. Even a casual ob server who watches the fight on tape can see the intensity of the scuffle. Did Patterson really think he could get involved in the fight and come out unscathed? It's like my old Grandpappy used to say, "If you're going to try and break up a dog fight, you're going to get hurt." Of course, he also used to say he was the Queen of the Old West, so I don't know if Grand pappy is the best person to quote. Anyway, one s of the most ridiculous things surrounding this whole situation is accusations that Barone and the players helped to incite the incident by staying on the court and not go ing to the dressing room as soon as possible. All I saw (on the video tape, and without the bene fit of actually being there) was a bunch of loud-mouth Tech fans trying to exert their masculine su periority by fisticuffs. Barone said he stopped to help John Jungers, a junior forward for A&M. Jungers was pushed from behind and being verbally at tacked by a Tech fan. Even the Southwest Confer ence Commissioner Steve Hatch- ell said the SWC would probably not take any disciplinary action. But, steps are being taken. Texas Tech has "tightened court- side security" to try and prevent anymore of these unfortunate in cidents. Hey, what a novel idea. Why didn't they think of that in 1989 or 1990 when Texas guard Lance Blanks had verbal exchanges with fans and a Tech fan tried to con front Texas head coach Tom Pen ders? Tech will form a barricade to separate fans from players leav ing the court (hey, what rocket scientist came up with that one) and provide additional security personnel around the visiting team (must have been a Nobel Prize winner). The trouble with the whole sit uation is not court-side security or whether or not A&M stayed on the court too long celebrating their victory. The trouble lies with Texas Tech and its desper ate, almost pitiful, need of a big rival. Every time A&M plays them or Texas plays them, thev try to hype it as a big rival. Players for A&M and Texas approach games with the attitude, " Hey, it's just Tech." Tech is almOkt co-dependent 1 when it comes to these rivalries. I can almost hear them from here. "Please, please be our rival. Come on, we really hate you. Why can't you really hate us? You know, it'll be fun. You push and shove us, we'll push and shove you. Maybe have a few fights. Please. Pleeeeeease." I don't think so Tim. Basically they're not even worth the effort. A&M beats them every year any way. So the officials in Huntsville should get the chair ready. Mr. Scott Patterson has been assault ed and big, bad Joe Wilbert is the culprit. He can't get away with this, by God! Imagine trying to protect your coach and team mates. The nerve!
