Page 12 • The Battalion Sports Lewis, Gervin head Hall nominees □ Jerry Tarkanian and Jo Jo White area also collegiate nominees. SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (AP) — Jerry Tarkanian, who has the best won-loss record in col lege coaching history and a record of disputes almost as long with the NCAA, was nom inated for the Basketball Hall of Fame. Tarkanian, who came out of retirement to coach Fresno State, is one of five coaches, 14 players and one contributor whose names were submitted by a nominating committee for con sideration by the Hall of Fame’s Honors Committee. Election requires 18 votes from the 24-member committee. Also on the list announced to day were Texas-El Paso coach Don Haskins, Houston coach Guy Lewis, longtime college and professional coach Tex Winter, and Antonio Dias-Miguel, who coached Spain’s National Team for'27 years. Nominated as players were George Gervin, one of the game’s most prolific scorers; Jo Jo White, who helped boost the Celtics to two NBA titles after star- rixig at Kansas; de fensive ace Dennis Johnson and David Thompson, who led North Carolina State to the NCAA title in 1974 and then starred for Denver. Also nominated were Dick Barnett, who won two NBA championships with the New York Knicks; Roger Brown, who boosted Indiana to three ABA titles, and two men — Gail Goodrich and Jamaal Wilkes, who starred for UCLA a decade apart and then the Lakers. Also approved by the nomi nating committee were Larry Costello, who played for 12 years with Philadelphia and Syracuse before turning to coaching, and two big centers — Artis Gilmore a stand out at Jacksonville State before an 18- year pro career and the late Kresimir Cosic, an internation al star who played at Brigham Young. Nominated by the veterans committee were Arnie Risen, a rugged rebounder who helped boost Rochester to the 1951 NBA title and George Yardley, who in 1958 became the first player in NBA history to score 2,000 points in one season. Nancy Lieberman-Cline, an Olympic silver medal winner at age 17, led Old Dominion to two national collegiate champi onships and then became the first woman to play in a men’s professional league with the Springfield Fame of the United States Basketball League, was tabbed by the women’s nominat ing committee. Also nominated was Carol Eckman, who started the first national women’s colle giate championship tournament in 1969. Tarkanian leads college coaches with an 83.7 winning percentage over 24 seasons at Long Beach State where his teams were 116-17 and at the UNLV where he had a 509-105 record and the 1990 NCAA title. In 31 years of coaching at the major and junior college level he has never had a losing sea son. Controversy and NCAA in vestigations and allegations that he at last bent the rules have followed him from Long Beach to UNLV and now to Fresno. Wednesday • November 15 Buffin Continued from Page 1 ?d every Thursday before a game and chat with R.C. But the men can bring their wives one night of the year. Oh what a privilege. It is assumed that members of the Quarterback Club know that there are 11 players on the team, just because they are men. Demonstrations of forma tions and pertinent informa tion, such as the fact that the referee is the one who has a white hat on, are not discussed because, of course, men know these things. While I will admit that I did learn a few things that I did not already know about, there are a few men who I can think of who could have learned something new last night as well. I am sick and tired of be ing singled out as needing some extra assistance in learning about football just because I am a woman. When Slocum opened] floor to questions, the questio that the women asked were quite intelligent. It sou ed like they knew a thingJ two about football. F Can you imagine if they] a Chalk Talk fc*' men so tin they could learn about art of cleaning a bathroo Have Donna Reed come in i teach men how to clean a toil] and bathtub. Many men know how clean a bathroom and wouldi insulted if Reed showed the how to lift the seat befoi cleaning the toilet. All I’m saying is that if J are going to hold a ChalkTall invite anyone who wantsito- learn more about football. Dorif^ single out a specific gro/ol. and assume that they don^ know anything and therefor must be taught. ; Give women a little creditl We do know something abonilk, football and sports. If we war to learn more, then we don need to be taught like we 3^7 the biggest idiots in the world- world.
