Lakers fire Harris
L.A. coach departs after 4 1/2 seasons
INGLEWOOD, Calif. (AP) —
The Los Angeles Lakers, mired at
.500 12 games through the abbre
viated NBA season, fired coach Del
Harris today.
Jerry West, the team’s vice pres
ident of basketball operations, said
that one of two assistants — Kurt
Rambis or Larry Drew — will han
dle the coaching duties for the rest
of the season.
The team, which has lost three
straight games, made the an
nouncement as it was adding
Dennis Rodman to what on paper
is one of the more talented teams
in the league.
West said longtime assistant Bill
Bertka would handle the head
coaching duties Thursday night
against the winless Los Angeles
Clippers before a decision is made
on Drew or Rambis, both former
Laker players.
“Particularly for me, the thing
that makes it so awkward is that
Del has been a friend for many
years,” West said. “The direction of
a team is very important. We do
feel like we have the talent here.
“I just feel the last two games
we’ve played have not been ac
ceptable. We just felt like there was
a deterioration. I talked to (owner)
Jerry Buss this morning and we
just felt like the time was right
now. ”
The Lakers lost three games in
three days in three different cities.
The were beaten 92-89 Sunday
at Seattle; 117-113 in overtime at
Denver Monday night, and 93-83
at Vancouver Thesday night. Den
ver’s win was only its second in
10 games this season and the
Grizzlies had never beaten Los
Angeles in 12 previous games be
tween the teams.
The three losses left LA with a
disappointing 6-6 record.
Most of a team that reached the
Western Conference finals before
being swept by the Utah Jazz last
spring is back, but the Lakers have

Jones celebrates
10th anniversary
Cowboys owner reflects on past wins,
looks to future of'Team of the ’90s”
“We made positive
progress last year, and I
feel good about our
immediate future and
long-term future.”
Basketb

after fall
playe
IRVING (AP) — Jerry Jones will spend the decade
anniversary of his takeover of the Dallas Cowboys
on Thursday like he did the first day he bought the
franchise — planning and scheming ways to get his
team into the Super Bowl.
Under Jones’ ownership, the Cowboys have won
six NFC East titles, appeared in four NFC champi
onship games, won three Super Bowls and become
worth an estimated $400 million.
Yet, if the Denver Broncos win a third consecu
tive Super Bowl this upcoming season, Dallas might
lose the coveted title of “NFL team of the ’90s.”
Under former coach Tom Landry and former gen
eral manager Tex Schramm, both of whom were fired
by Jones, the Cowboys lost to Pittsburgh in the ’70s
and San Francisco in the ’80s as the team of the
decade.
Dallas won back-to-back Super Bowls under Jim
my Johnson, who exited the team because of a per
sonality conflict with Jones, and a third Super Bowl
under good buddy Barry Switzer, who finally wore
out his welcome.
The Cowboys just finished a 10-6 regular season
and first-round playoff loss to Arizona under Chan
Gailey.
“We were disappointed with the way the year
ended in the playoffs, but we are close to getting
where we want to be again,” Jones said. “We’re nev
er satisfied until we get to the Super Bowl. I think
we are very close to getting there next year.”
The owner’s rancor with Landry, Schramm and
Johnson has been well publicized. Jones has said he
handled the Landry dismissal poorly. He has never
been able to get on the same wave length with
Schramm, who is in the Professional Football Hall of
Fame in Canton but has yet to be put in the Cowboys
— JERRY JONES
COWBOYS OWNER
Ring of Honor.
“My relationship with the Cowboys hasn’t been
good,” Schramm, who still attends home games in
his Texas Stadium suite, said. “You have to admire
the way they brought in the talent to win the Super
Bowls. Getting Jimmy was a big key. If Tom had re
tired, Jimmy would have been one of my top picks.”
Under Johnson, Dallas was 44-36 with two Super
Bowl wins and a 7-1 postseason record.
Under former University of Oklahoma coach
Switzer, Dallas was 40-24, 5-2 in the postseason, and
a winner of the 1995 Super Bowl.
“It probably would have been best if I had en
couraged Barry to leave after we won the Super
Bowl,” Jones said, adding hindsight is 20-20. “But
he never got credit for the job he did.”
In this offseason, Jones plans to give contract
booster shots to Deion Sanders and quarterback Tfoy
Aikman and to try to find an impact free agent wide
receiver.
“We made positive progress last year, and 1 feel
good about our immediate future and long-term fu
ture,” he said. “We will make the moves we feel we
have to make to get to the level where we feel we
need to be. We’ll win again.”
Jones does not spend much time celebrating an
niversaries. Denver’s late dominance in the 1990s
threatens to take some of the luster off a decade of
overall excellence for the Cowboys.
“We have established a track record of being at
the highest competitive level year in and year out,”
he said. “I see some very unique things that are
cause for confidence in the future.”
