HOUSTON (AP) — Time sheets
submitted by city youth athletic
director Calvin Murphy, the long
time Houston Rocket and Hall of
Famer, are being investigated by
the city to ensure he worked all the
hours he claimed.
The city’s chief administrative
officer, A1 Haines, said the time
sheets were forwarded to the in
spector general’s office within the
police department two weeks ago.
Haines said questions regard
ing Murphy’s time sheets were
raised internally. Parks and Recre
ation Department spokesperson
Susan Christian said the investiga
tion was touched off by an open
records request for the time sheets
filed by KTRK-TV.
“We felt it important enough to
bring in the inspector’s general’s of
fice,” Christian said. She added that
Murphy has declined all interviews
regarding the allegations.
Murphy has been athletic di
rector for youth sports since July
1996. He is paid $32.06 an hour for
a 30-hour work week by All Temps
Personal Service Inc., a firm con
tracted by the city for temporary
employees.
Rockets spokesperson Angela
Blakeney said Murphy has a con
tract with the team to perform TV
color commentary and make pub
lic appearances.
Murphy first angered some at
City Hall two years ago when he
sought $600,000 in public money to
buy uniforms and musical instru
ments for the Houston Marching
Thunder, a citywide youth drill
team and marching band. Murphy
twirls a baton for the group.

Spurs look to advance past Phoei
SAN ANTONIO (AP) — The Phoenix Suns went
into their playoff series with San Antonio known as
the team with the better outside
shooting game.
The Spurs have damaged that
reputation and could ruin the Suns’
hopes of advancing in the playoffs
with a win Wednesday.
“Thank goodness we don’t have
to answer today, ‘Is this a must-
win?’We’ve pretty much answered
that,” Suns coach Danny Ainge
said Tuesday, displaying only a
slight smile.
If the Suns win Game 4, the best-
of-5 series returns to Phoenix for a decisive fifth game on
Sunday. The Spurs took a 2-1 series lead Monday with a
100-88 victory in the Alamodome.
Tim Duncan, named NBA Rookie of the Year ear
lier in the day, led the Spurs with 22 points and 14 re-

bounds. David Robinson added 17 pi
bounds and four blocks.

Grant Hill approves Gentry as Piston’s coi

AUBURN HILLS, Mich. (AP) —
With the backing of stars Grant Hill
and Joe Dumars, Alvin Gentry was
made the permanent coach of the
Detroit Pistons on Tuesday.
Gentry was the interim coach
the last three months after the Feb.
2 dismissal of Doug Collins.
Detroit missed the playoffs, fin
ishing 16-21 under Gentry and 37-
45 overall. But his players and
management liked the way he han
dled the team.
“I think it’s an incredible honor
for me,” Gentry said. “After what
happened last year and the close
losses we had down the stretch, I
think not only am I ready, I think
the players are ready to come back
and to show all the close games
that we lost we’ll have an opportu
nity to win those things.”
The Pistons were expected to of
fer Gentry at least $1 million a sea
son for two years with an option for
a third, The Detroit News and the

We are an equal opportunity employer.
Detroit Free Press reported Tuesday.
The hiring came after Gentry
met Monday with team owner Bill
Davidson and vice president of bas
ketball operations Rick Sund.
Sund said Gentry had a
stronger hold on the job than the
interim title implied.
“I told him you’re either good
enough to be the coach, or you’re
not.... If you’re not, we’re going to go
in another direction,” Sund said.
Dumars, who already an
nounced he will retire after next
season, said Gentry’s personality
meshes with the team.
“Guys respond to him,” he said.
“Guys play hard for him.”
Gentry said he was grateful for
the support of Hill and Dumars.
“Obviously, with Grant Hill sup
porting me, you feel good about it
regardless of the outcome,” he said.
“Obviously, I think it helped my
cause tremendously.”
