Forward will not be traded N.J. Nets say
NBA
The Associated Press
NEW VORK — The New Jersey Nets have no intention of agreeing to Derrick Coleman's request that
he be traded,
The New York
T i m e s
reported yesterday.
Coleman is to be paid $7.5 million annually for the next four years, and Willis Reed, general manager, said the club expected the star forward to live up to his end of the contract.

"Derrick said last year that he wanted to be here and that he was committed to helping the Nets win a championship." Reed told the Times, "The Nets have stepped forward and made a tremendous commitment to him. Now, it's time for him to honor that, to do his job, to be the leader that we expect him to be."
Last week, Coleman's agent said the forward wanted to be traded.
"I've gotten some nibbles but not-
major, believe me," Reed said.
If Coleman holds out when camp opens Oct. 6, Reed or suspend him. He said he would try to speak with Coleman this week.
Suns star expects to play
The Associated Press
PHOENIX — Charles Barkley says he'll be back with the Phoenix Suns for another run at an NBA championship, The Arizona Republic reported.
Barkley tore cartilage in his left knee in May when the Suns lost to Houston 115-114 in the seventh game of the Western Conference semifinals. He had arthroscopic surgery to repair the damage to his knee, and he hedged about deciding whether to return this season.
He said Wednesday that the decision had been made, thanks to support from Phoenix coach Paul Westphal, members of the team and fans.
It was the second summer of rehabilitation for the 6-foot-6, 252-pound forward. In 1994, after talking about retiring when the Suns failed to win the championship, Barkley went through a special program to strengthen his damaged back and then played a third season with the Suns, his 11th overall.
Barkley told the Republic
Barkley said he had delayed his decision to rid himself of last season's frustration and to make sure he was healthy enough for another season.
"Paul has been really good during this whole thing," Barkley said of Westphal. "He brought me in at the end of last season, and he said, 'I don't care what anybody else says or does, I want you to know that I
want you back because you're still a great player.' It's something that drove me all summer. That's when I decided I was going to try to do it."
Teammate Danny Manning, who is expected to miss most of the season with a left knee injury that also required corrective surgery, pressed Barkley to come back as well.
"He kept calling me all summer and telling me I have to play," Barkley said. "He wants to play with me, and I want to play with him. The problem is, Danny won't be back until January."
"I've had a lot of fans here in Phoenix and across the country asking me to keep playing. Sometimes, you don't realize how many people really love what you do."
Knicks resign NBA's best sixth man
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — Anthony Mason, whose professional basketball career began in Turkey and culminated with the NBA's Sixth Man Award last season, signed a new contract today to remain with the New York Knicks.
Negotiations with Mason, a 6-foot-7, 250-pound forward, began almost immediately after the NBA's 2 1/2-month lockout was lifted Monday. They intensified Wednesday when Mason and agent Don Cronson met with Knicks gen-
er manager Ernie Grunfeld for several hours at a New York hotel.
Mason, 28, who was suspended in each of the last two seasons after disputes with former New York coach Pat Riley, started only 11 of the 77 games he played last season. He averaged 9.9 points, a career-high 8.4 rebounds and 3.1 assists. He led the Knicks in shooting at 57 percent (287 of 507).
A native of Queens, Mason was drafted by Portland in the third round of the 1988 draft out of Tennessee State before playing a season in Turkey.
He sandwiched brief stints with New Jersey and Denver around time in the Continental Basketball Association and United States Basketball League before hooking up with the Knicks in 1991.
In four seasons, he's averaged 8.1
points and 6.9 rebounds.
Mason hinted after New York's playoff loss to Indiana in May that he would not play for the Knicks again.
"I love the fans, I love New York, but ... you don't want to be in one spot and stay there all the time," Mason said.
Nebraska does business as usual
The Associated Press
Nebraska coach Tom Osborne isn't doing things differently than he did before the 1994 national championship season, the secondary coach told those attending the weekly Big Red Booster Breakfast.
OMAHA, Neb. — Nebraska football assistant coach George Darlington said yesterday that despite bad publicity regarding players breaking the law, Cornhusker football remains on a steady foundation.
"As much as the national news media would like to make us out as the Miami of the plains, the program is being run as it's always been run," said Darlington, who
has been an assistant coach on Osborne's staff since 1973. "The intent of the program is to do everything by the book.
"Tom Osborne hasn't suddenly become Barry Switzer and Jackie Sherrill rolled into one," Darlington said, referring to coaches whose former programs at Oklahoma and Texas A&M were placed on NCAA probation. "We aren't suddenly trying to figure out how to cheat in every way, shape or form."
Darlington said Nebraska still had "a program you can be proud of."
"The program still has the same direction," Darlington said. "We are naive if we don't think any program is not going to have problems,
because societal problems don't stop at the door when they get off Interstate 80 and come to Lincoln."
Darlington said the Huskers had successfully blocked out recent distractions, headed by the suspension of star I-back Lawrence Phillips. Nebraska proved its concentration in Saturday's 77-28 drilling of Arizona State.
"That game was quite shocking for us," Darlington said. "It was a game that, quite frankly, we thought would go well into the fourth quarter. Never in our wildest dreams did we think we would play 100 kids last week."
Preparing for Pacific this week hasn't been a problem either. Although the Tigers are 1-2 and coming off a 56-24 loss to Fresno
State, Darlington said the No.2 Cornhuskers have been businesslike in preparations.
"Pacific obviously is not as talented as we are," Darlington said. "I will make an honest statement that if we lose Saturday, we have no excuses because we have practiced extremely well this week.
Darlington also said his players in the secondary had played well despite giving up four big pass plays and 290 yards through the air against Arizona State.
Nebraska manhandled Arizona State, especially on its offensive blocking, he said.
"I think that's the greatest number of offensive knockdowns of defensive players in the history of our school," Darlington said.
