Coach rebuilds shallow team after 4-7 record The Associated Press TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — He tried to ignore it, to set it aside the way Bear Bryant would have. But the boos that cascaded out of Bryant-Denny Stadium, the humbling losses to Kentucky and Louisiana Tech, the long December that included recruiting trips instead of bowl practices made that impossible. And finally, after a season of suffering and soul searching, Alabama coach Mike DuBose had to admit it — the Crimson Tide has found itself in the middle of an honest-to-goodness rebuilding project. Not the kind of rebuilding Bryant would have overseen when his empire was at its peak -- tinker with the offense here, recruit a few more tail- "A lot of negative things were written and a lot of negative things were said for good reason," DuBose said of last year's 4-7 season, Alabama's worst since 1957. "This year, it's critical that we stay positive. And it has got to start with me." vacks there. Those were easy compared to this. This is, by Alabama standards, like starting anew. But maybe DuBose got into this situation because he was too positive in his first season last year, when 4-7 records were troubles they worried about at places like Mississippi and Maryland, not at Alabama. Instead, the coach merely hinted at the problems. Everyone knew about the probation-related scholarship reductions. Former coach Gene Stallings never had used them as an excuse, had he? But the thin recruiting classes of the Stallings regime had turned into the upper-classmen of the DuBose tenure — and there weren't an awful "A lot of negative things were written and a lot of negative things were said for a good reason. This year, it's critical that we stay positive. And it has got to start with me." Mike DuBose lot of them. Alabama head football coach Before the season, DuBose recognized that and predicted that the team would need big contributions from as many as 15 newcomers. But he didn't fully explain what that could mean to a program. It took three painful months for everyone to find out. "It was hard," tailback Shaun Alexander said. "We've done everything we can in the off season to change things. This is not a team, or a program, that takes 4-7 very easily." DuBose fired three of Stallings' holdover assistants and one of his own, replacing them with coaches he thought he could trust. At offensive coordinator is DuBose's former college roommate, Neil Callaway. Callaway will work with new quarterbacks coach Charlie Stubbs, who came from Nevada-Las Vegas to install a passing offense like the one DuBose promised but never delivered last year. "It was a mistake not to stay committed to it last year," DuBose said. "But we've got to be committed to something. And if we're going to recruit the guys who want to catch the football, the offensive linemen who want to go to the NFL, we've got to make the commitment to an offense that fits those talents." The first piece of that puzzle was landing Birmingham-area quarterback Tyler Watts, one of the country's top recruits Some other pieces — such as freshmen wide receiver Freddie Milons and offensive tackle Bart Raulston — are there as well. DuBose's new recruiting chief, Ronnie Cottrell, also will play a key role. Cottrell came to Alabama after working as Bobby Bowden's recruiting coordinator at Florida State for eight years. He'll be in charge of assembling the 1999 class, the one DuBose calls the most important in the history of the school. "Our plan may not make us better right now," DuBose said. "But it will make us better in seven or eight weeks — or in a year, two years or three years down the road." He probably won't get much more time than that. As a Bryant-coached alumnus, DuBose knows as well as anyone — patience at Alabama is almost as foreign as rebuilding. NBA talks delay could push back season The Associated Press NEW YORK - It doesn't look like NBA owners and players will be back at the bargaining table until late September or early October. By then, it might be too late to start the season on schedule. The lockout-related schedule for the rest of the summer got thrown out of whack yesterday when arbitrator John Feerick scheduled three more days of hearings on the union's guaranteed contracts grievance. There will be a nine-day adjournment until the hearing resumes Sept. 3, 4 and 8, and each side may take a week after that to submit post-hearing briefs. Feerick then will have 30 days to render his decision. Because both sides say they don't expect to begin talking again until Feerick's verdict is in, they will lose a large chunk of time that could have been used to work out a new collective bargaining agreement and possibly start the season on time Nov. 4. Training camps are scheduled to open Oct. 6. "Our position hasn't changed. We want to litigate and resolve this issue as soon as possible on behalf of our players. We're looking forward to resuming the hearing." union director Billy Hunter said. No high-ranking league officials were willing to comment yesterday. The league said Sept. 3 was the next mutually agreeable date for the owners, players and arbitrator, but the union claimed commissioner David Stern's vacation plans and the start of the semester at Fordham University, where Feerick is a law school dean, necessitated the long break. The hearing was expected to last only two days, but having a longer-than-expected fight before Feerick is nothing new for Stern, deputy commissioner Russ Granik, Hunter and their lawyers. When Feerick held the Latrell Sprewell hearing last February, it was supposed to go four days but lasted nine. Union lawyer Ron Klempner was the only witness on the second day, and lawyers for each side also spent time arguing the admissibility of certain documents—including a contract containing unique lockout language signed by Sacramento Kings center Olden Polynice in 1994. The hearing concerns the "In baseball, that was a component of the owners' strategy. They began inserting lockout language into guaranteed contracts in 1988 and 1989 in anticipation of a work stoppage in1990." Eugene Orza General counsel for the Major League Baseball Players Association union's claim that owners should be liable to pay some $800 million worth of salaries due to 220 players who have guaranteed contracts for the upcoming season. Lawyers for the league contend employees never get paid during lockouts. The union says NBA owners should have protected themselves, as baseball owners do, with contract language making specific mention that players would not be paid during a lockout. "In baseball, that was a component of the owners' strategy. They began inserting lockout language into guaranteed contracts in 1988 and 1989 in anticipation of a work stoppage in 1990," said Eugene Orza, general counsel for the Major League Baseball Players Association.
