SPORTS BRIEFS
WICHTI — Hours after resigning as Rice's coach Monday evening, Scott Thompson started work as Wichita State's basketball coach yesterday.
Thompson yesterday fielded dozes of phone calls from well wishers and other coaches, met a few people in the athletic department's administrative offices and talked with players.
"It been very, very busy getting organized the first day, but we're very excited about the future." he said.
Thompson replaces Mike Cohen, who resigned last month. Cohen posted a 32-56 record in three seasons, losing 20 games this season — a school single-season record.
Thompson got asked the big question right away Monday night.
"Are we going to beat KU?" one of more than 200 students and boosters shouted from the spectator seating.
"I tell you what, that's going to be a big goal of ours," Thompson said, apparently already aware of the intense cross-state rivalry with the nationally ranked Kansas Javawicks.
Rice was 20-11 this season, the school's first 20-victory season since 1953-54, though the Owls fail to earn
a post-season bid.
Thompson and Wichita State Provost Rex Cottie, who led the search committee that selected the coach, refused to discuss the terms of Thompson's contract. Broadcast reports said the deal was for five years and worth more than $1.5 million.
