Colorado: Racism alleged with hiring Continued from Page 1B. Colorado spokesman David Grimn defended the school's affirmative action record in athletics and said Albino had been a leader in hiring minority coaches and administrators in her career. "Since 1900, (CU) has hired more black coaches than any other Division I school in the country," Grimm said. Two of those coaches have gone on to coach Division I football teams, he said. "For them to have attacked (Albino) on this issue is outrageous, Grimm) said. "She has pushed harder for this nationally than just about anybody in the business." Neuheisel and Simmons were among four in-house candidates considered to fill coach McCarthy's shoes after he shocked Colorado by resigning Nov. 19 after completing a 10-1 season. Also being considered The Rainbow Coalition letter repeated a report that McCartney — who won a national championship in 1900 — tagged Simmons as his choice for a successor. But McCartney said Monday he had recommended two coaches. "I recommended Elliot Uzelac and Bob Simmons. I made it clear to Bill (Marolt, Colorado's athletic director) that I felt either one was fully qualified to be the head coach," he said. In a press release dated Dec. 5, the Rainbow Coalition, led by Jackson, threatened "to discourage athletes from attending (Colorado)" as part of an "initiative to address the shortage of minority representation in athletics administration positions at NCAA institutions." Sooner is Big Eight player of the week The Associated Press KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Oklahoma forward Ryan Minor, who's averaged 27.7 points and 9 rebounds to lead the Sooners to a 3-0 record, has been named the Big Eight player of the week. Minor has connected on 66 percent of his field goals, including 61.5 percent from 3-point range in victories over Coppin State, Louisiana and California-Irvine. The junior also established a conference record for most consecutive field goals made in a half when he hit his first 10 shots against California-Irvine. Minor won the weekly award Monday in a split vote over Jacque Vaughn, the Kansas sophomore guard who's averaged 10 points and 11 assists in two games, including an 81-75 victory over top-ranked Massachusetts.
