lull brings back
A&M memories
| I am here. I have finally hit the
I big time. A sports columnist for the
Batt. Wow.
i But where do I start? I want to
shed my insightful ideas onto the
sporting world. The only problem
is, there is absolutely nothing of any
real ..iteresi going on in the the
world of jocks right now, especiallj 7 j
locally.
The Houston Rockets? Say what
I you will about this year being their
best chance for a championship, or
j about Hakeem being the MVP of the
I league. I can still step outside and
hear a loud choking sound coming
from the direction of the city of
i Houston. II you ask me, it will be a
’sign of the Apocalypse when a pro-
Ifessional sports franchise from
Houston wins a championship,
i Name something else going on.
Major League “Basebrawl?” The
1 last time I checked, there was not a
baseball team in Arlington. Just a
ballpark, (if I wrote “stadium,”
George W. Bush would have sen: his
1 baseball establishment police to cor
rect me) a first baseman and a cou-
) pie of rookies who actually try. As
I for the Astros? See the last sen-
I tence of the preceding paragraph.
I realize World Cup soccer is less
i than a month away. The most pop
ular sport in the world is coming to
! the United States. All those in fa-
1 vor of saying “so what,” please stand
up and be counted. I thought so.
j So, as you can see, it is pretty
j quiet in “sportsland.” Especially in
Aggieland. Wasn’t it around this

team was kicking Yale’s butt 13-1 at

Rockets one game away
from finals
HOUSTON (AP) — The mood was relaxed at
the Houston Rockets’ practice on Monday, which
is about what would be expected from a team
that got what it wanted — at least one victory
— from its four-day trip to Utah.
The Rockets salvaged Game 4 of the best-of-7
series Sunday by hanging on despite their mis
takes and a amekeeper’s error near the end of
an 80-78 victory that gave them a 3-1 lead.
A victory Tuesday would put the Rockets in
the finals for the first time since 1986.
If there was one overriding theme in inter
views with the coaches and players, it was that
the defense the Rockets played in Game 4 had
to carry over to Game 5.
Houston held Utah to 21 points in the first
quarter, 10 in the second and 19 in the third to
carry a 10-point lead into the fourth quarter.
The defensive effort was especially important
because Hakeem Olajuwon struggled through
his worst offensive game of the playoffs, scoring
16 points on 6-of-l8 shooting.
“If we play the same type of defense as we did
out there, and we’ll be playing at home instead
of on the road, that’s going to be dinner at
home,” Otis Thorpe said.
The Rockets led by at least six in the final,
quarter until the last two minutes when Utah
capitalized on Houston’s mistakes and made a
charge that almost sent the game into overtime.
First, Olajuwon attempted a layup with
about 20 seconds left when he probably should
have passed so Houston could run down the
clock. He missed the shot, Utah rebounded and
John Stockton made a 3-pointer to draw th(
Jazz within two.
Then Sam Cassell got called for an offensive
foul as Houston tried to inbound although re
plays appeared to show Stockton puiling Cassell
down but making it look like Cassell pushed off.
“I don’t think that should have been the call,”
Cassell said Monday. “It should have been a no-
Monday’s Game:
Game 4, Eastern Conference Championship
Pacers 83, Knicks 77
Please see Sports Briefs, Page 4
call. They should let the players decide the out
come of the game.”
Utah had 13.5 seconds to try to tie it or go
ahead, only the clock operator forgot to start the
clock, giving Utah an extra eight seconds.
“We’ve played defense for 24 seconds before,
we just had to do it again in that case,” Kenny
Smith said. “If I had a choice, I’d rather be on
defense and ahead by one than on offense and
down by one.”
Tom Chambers eventually missed a 4-footer,
Houston got the loose ball and the clock ran out.
“It was a scary situation, and I’m thankful it
didn’t cause overtime or a loss because we
would have had to go through some controver
sy,” Tomjanovich said.
The Rockets weren’t dwelling on the clock is
sue much, though, preferring to look ahead to
Game 5.
“Defense is the biggest key. If we can hold
them to 78 points there, we should be able to do
it here,” Tomjanovich said.
One of the key moves defensively in Game 4
was putting Olajuwon on Karl Malone. Olaju
won had five blocked shots, and Malone scored
only four of his 25 points on field goals when he
was guarded by Olajuwon.
In Game 5, Tomjanovich said, the Rockets
can expect some similar type of curveball from
the Jazz.
“They might press, they’ve got to be jumpy
with their defense, but we know what they’ll do
offensively,” the coach said.
“There’s so much confidence in our locker-
room that you can feel it,” Robert Horry said.
The Associated Press
Phoenix’s Oliver Miller grabs a rebound as the Rocket’s Otis
Thorpe (top) and Carl Herrera look on. The Rockets prevailed n
the Phoenix series four games to three and lead Utah 3-1.
“We feel in out hearts and minds that we will win it.”
“The main thing is to get this one out of the way. They know
that we’re looking to close things out,” Thorpe said.
Wanted: Lady Aggies basketball coach - inquire within
By Brian Coats
The Battalion
If you happened to be looking
through this week’s edition of “NCAA
News,” you might notice that one of the
want ads hits home. That’s because
Texas A&M is searching for a new head
coach for the Lady Aggie basketball
team.
Hickey resigned as head coach to be
come senior associate athletic director
after guiding A&M to a spot in the
“sweet-sixteen” round of the NCA 4
tournament and a 23-8 record last year.
A committee has been formed and is
accepting applications for the position.
Associate Athletic Director Penny
King is chair of the committee. She
said they have not reviewed any appli
cations yet.
“We are still in the application
process right now,” King said. “We are
basically gathering information.”
King said the committee is looking
for someone wdth coaching experience at
the college level. However, Athletic Di
rector Wally Groff said he would prefer
someone with head coaching experience.
“Our primary criterion is someone
with four to five years of head coaching
experience at a successful Division I
program,” Groff said.
Both Groff and King said that famil
iarity with compliance issues, recruiting
skills and commitment to academics
were also important qualities the com
mittee will be looking for.
Groff said whoever becomes the
coach will inherit an excellent situation.
“A&M is a progressive institution
committed to women’s athletics,” he
said. “This is a successful basketball
team with players who are ready to step
in and play.”
King went even further in praising
tb women’s basketball program.
“I expect our program to be top ten
and in the final four every year ... well,
maybe not every year,” she said.
The deadline for applications is June
3. The committee will then begin re
viewing the applications and shorten
the list, Groff said. Gr^ ff and Hickey
' 11 ultimately choose the new coach.
