Tearful
Kerrigan:
'I'm only a
person'
during NBC
interview
The Associated Press
NEW YORK - A tearful Nancy
Kerrigan complained Tuesday about
"living in a fishbowl" and said she
never asked for fame.
The Olympic silver medalist
broke down several times while talk
ing to Jane Pauley on the NBC-TV
program "Dateline NBC."\
"I'm not somebody who has a
script," Kerrigan said. "I talk and feel
what's in my heart and in my head.
"It's not fair that they put me up
on that pedestal because I didn't
want to be there and I don't under
stand why the same people that put
me there want to take me down so
fast."
Talking about the intrusions in
her life, she said she sometimes
wished she had stopped skating
when she was 10 years old.
Kerrigan apologized for any ac
tions that might have besmirched her
image.
She aid she complained aboc
wearing her medal during a Dm
World parade because "1 was taugli
by my coach, if you wear it around
people will think you're bragging."
"I'm an athlete. I'm not perfeci
I'm not a Disney character. I'm a pa
son," sFie said.
"I never wanted to offend anyone
and if someone took it that way, lair
sorry. If they understood me, ther
maybe they would think different

for him by his predecessor, Ker-
mit Davis.
Davis and his staff had wined
and dined Syracuse transfer
Tony Scott and his illegal player
agent, Rob Johnson, successfully
luring Scott to A&M. Ironically,
Scott later blew the whistle on
Davis.
Davis and an assistant coach
were forced to submit resigna
tions, but Barone was the one left
holding the deflated program.
The coach would be limited to
seven scholarship players for his
first two seasons, the program
would suffer the elimination of
all-expense recruiting visits for
one year, and the '92-93 season
would he bereft of post-season
tournaments and live television
broadcasts.
Barone also had four verbal
commitments from players when
the sanctions were handed down
and was forced to cut loose two
of his recruits.
But the cruelest cut of all may
have been the Texas Higher Edu
cation Board denying A&M's
plans for the construction of a
new special events center, which
had helped draw Ilarone to
A&M. The 14,500-seat arena was
supposed to open for this season
and replace decrepit G. Rollie
White Coliseum, which houses -
when full - 7,800.
G. Rollie was renovated with
new seating, lighting and a new
floor, hut again Barone had to
settle for second-best, if that, in
his own arena.
The bottom line, however,
was that Barone was ultimately
responsible to go out and win
games. He had to win with a
team of seven scholarship and
six walk-on players.
Barone's first season was
dreadful. After the team's top
scorer Brooks Thompson trans
ferred to Oklahoma State and top
rebounder Shed rick Anderson
was suspended by Barone, the
team went 6-22, A&M's worst
record in 35 years.
Last season, Barone's team
went i 0-1 7 and, at times, ex
celled under pressure. While
A&M was only four games better
in the win column from the pre
vious season, the Aggies showed
flashes of character by nearly
beating teams with an iron-man
starting unit that fought through
fatigue to off-set the thin bench
of walk-on players.
A&M surprised opponents on
the enemy home courts, nearly
posting wins over the University
of Nevada-Las Vegas, New Mex
ico, Alabama, Southern
Methodist and Texas.
But the big story on the road
came when A&M denied Rice a
share of the Southwest Confer
ence championship in the final
game of the season.
At home nothing could have
been finer than blowing out a
team's arch-rival in front of a
rowdy crowd, and that's just
what A&M did as they torched
the Texas Longhorns 77-57 in
front of 3,704 at G. Rollie.
This season Barone and the
team have worked for the first
time sanction-free. Six new re-

Texas.
A&M again beat a Longhorn
team at home that was touted as
better-talented and more physi
cal. It boiled down to free throw
shooting: UT's B.J. Tyler missed
his; A&M's David Edwards
made his.
Unforeseen losses to SMU,
Baylor and Tech have cost A&M
the SWC crown, but there are
two things left for the team to ac
complish after the 1993-94 regu
lar season.
Win the SWC. tournament,
and roll some heads in the
NCA.A tournament.
Stranger things have hap
pened. Just look at 6-22 and 17-9
- and go from there.
