White still uncertain of reason for firing
By ED GROM
Staff Reporter
It has been 11 days since Jo Jo White was fired as assistant coach of the KU basketball team, and he still cannot put his finger on the exact reason why Head Coach Mark Foster
"He told me I was fired because of philosophical reasons, and that's the only reason he gave me," White said yesterday in an interview at his home. It could mean many things, but he also gave me any more reason than that."
BROWN FIRED WHITE last Monday but did not officially release the book.
The move came less than four months after Brown, who was hired to replace Ted Owens as head coach, had White and Bob Hill as assistant coaches.
"I was as shocked as everybody else." White said. "I hurt a lot.
"I cried for six days, but not any man; I can't do anything about it now. never."
White, a former collegiate standout at KU and an All-Pro while in the NBA with the Boston Celtics, said that he and
Brown had a disagreement on "what was right and what was wrong" and that that may have been a reason for the firing.
"I WOULD RATHER not go further" than that." White said. "The matter is out of my hands now, and I'd rather leave it alone.
One of the first moves White made after his firing was to contact some of the players on the KU team. White said that he called forward Kerry Boagni Tuesday morning, the day after Brown fired him, and told him to stay at KU.
"I know what is right and what is wrong about certain things, and I still believe that I am right. I stood up for them," he said. "I was right, and look where it got me."
"Sure, I was worried about the players, especially Kerry," White said. "I'm sure that packing up and getting on the field was easy, and I told him to stick it out and play ball."
"It was in his best interest and all the players' interest to stay. He is in a good position."

EVEN THOUGH HE will not be a direct part of the 1983-94 Jayhawks, White said that his feelings remained with the team.
ance for the upcoming season, but I am worried about the kids," White said. "They were just starting to identify well with each other at the end of last season. They showed what they could do when they put their minds and talents to it.
"I can't predict about their perform-
"They were stunned when Ted was fired, and when the situation was just starting to settle down, they had to deal with my fireing. It is a lot to cope with."
"I hope that they can get everything out of their minds by the time the season rolls around. They have been doing it all wrong for years, but make any quick and rush decisions."
Looking back at the job at KU, White said, "All I know is that I gave all my efforts in my coaching job. I gave my all when I played in high school, in college and in the pros. Why should I stop there?
"I CARE FOR the kids, and I try to help them in any way I can. They came first. I was always around when they needed help, and I will be here if they need help in the future. I was close to the players, and I feel for them right now."
As for his future, White said that he did not know where a new job would take him, but he said that he would like to coach and stay in the area.
"Kansas is my home," he said. "I don't want to go anywhere else."
"If there is a job out there where I feel comfortable and where I feel I can make a positive contribution, I would consider it. Lawrence is such a good city and the people so friendly, I would hate to leave."
Justice keeps NCAA contract alive
By United Press International
WASHINGTON — Supreme Court Justice Bryon White yesterday kept alive the National Collegiate Athletic Association's multi-million dollar television deal to broadcast college football this fall.
White, a former All-America half-back, blocked, at least for three months, lower court rulings invalidating the association's arrangements with ABC and CBS, saying "the merits (of the case) are with the NCAA" and the outcome would have "a major impact countrywide."
On July 16, White granted a temporary stay to give challengers — the University of Oklahoma and the University of Georgia — a chance to

respond to the NCAA's Supreme Court appeal.
Oklahoma spokeman Mike Treps said yesterday school officials were disappointed and surprised by the fall of the program, television bids for the 1983 season.
BUT BIG TEN COMMISSIONER WAYNE Duke said "all叫 a but few selfish institutions are best served by Justice White's decision, which hopefully will permit the orderly presentation of football on television this season."

White said Oklahoma and Georgia "might do better for themselves during the 1983 season if they were free to go their own way," but without his stay, "it would appear that the networks' contracts would be void under the outstanding judgment and could not be enforced."
White's order delays the effect of a federal court ruling that the NCAA's arrangement with the networks is anti-competitive because it reduces the
number of college football games available to TV viewers.
White said he would vote "with confidence" to hear the NCAA's full appeal, to be filed with the high court by late September.
IF THE COURT AGREES to take the case, a ruling not be likely until 1884. If the justices refuse to hear it, their action — leaving the lower court ruling intact — would not come any earlier than mid-October, when the football season is already well under way.

The NCAA, a non-profit association, adopts policies governing how football is played by its 785 member colleges and 100 athletic conferences.
Contracts with ABC and CBS allow the telecast of 14 games each fall, and a contract with Turner Broadcasting provides for telecasting 19 games.
Oklahoma and Georgia complained the deal limited how many times a college could appear on television.
