UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
Tennessee hires former Jayhawk assistant
Coach hopes to bring Kansas style to job
the Associated Press
KNOVXILLE, Tenn. — Tennessee's new basketball coach took a familiar, circuitous route from North Carolina to Kansas to Oregon.
Oregon coach Jerry Green was the third former assistant to Kansas coach Roy Williams that the Volunteers considered seriously. Green accepted the Tennessee job Tuesday.
"He has the credentials to bring the North Carolina-Kansas influence into this program," Tennessee athletic director Doug Dickey said, referring to Williams' start as an assistant to Dean Smith at North Carolina. "He has the maturity and has proven he can do it."
In five years, Green, 53, rebuilt a dying Oregon program into a consistent winner in the Pacific 10 Conference.
He was born in South Carolina, attended college in North Carolina and coached UNC-
Asheville for nine seasons before going to Kansas with Williams in 1989.
He agreed to a five-year contract that will
"I didn't come here because of the talent," Green said. "I came here because of the University of Tennessee. I've always been around it."
Jerry Green
pay him $550,000 a year, with more income possible through summer camps. Green said he intended to make Tennessee his last stop.
Green said he was not looking for another job and had even removed his name from consideration at LSU, but was interested immediately when Dickey approached him in Indianapolis during the Final Four.
how college basketball operates — but I'm not going to pick another one to rebuild," he said.
"The University of Tennessee has everything it needs, except maybe a little tradition the last 10 or 12 years, to be a national program," he said. "There is no reason this university cannot play basketball at the top level, and I do know what it's like to play at that level."
Green had success in his five seasons at Oregon. He took the Ducks to their first NCAA tournament in 34 years in 1995, and strung together three winning seasons for the first time in 19 years. Oregon won its first 10 games this season and was ranked as high as 17th before finishing 17-11 with a loss in the first round of the NIT.
"We truly feel he did a great job here at
Oregon," Oregon athletic director Bill Moos said. "We appreciate what he has done. Our men's basketball program is in far better shape than when he arrived."
Green replaces Kevin O'Neill, who left Tennessee for Northwestern on March 11. Green was not Dickey's first choice, a situation both he and Dickey dismissed.
Dickey talked to Clemson's Rick Barnes and Wake Forest's Dave Odom, among others, and offered the job to Kevin Stallings of Illinois State and Tim Floyd of Iowa State.
Stallings and Steve Robinson of Tulsa, to whom Dickey also talked, were the other Williams assistants in the cast.
Asked if it bothered him not to be the first choice, Green said, "No. I'm the right choice."
O'Neill was 36-47 in three years at Tennessee after the Volunteers were 5-22 the season before he arrived. The Vols finished 11-16 this season and started four freshmen in the Southeastern Conference tournament.
"The first thing we're going to do is solidify this team as good as we possibly can. They're the most important people," Green said. "The second thing we're going to do is see the recruits who have committed to UT."
One of those recruits is prized point guard Tony Harris of Memphis, who has said he would consider his options once Tennessee hired its new coach.
"I will be going to Memphis within the next 24 hours," Green said.
The players seemed open to Green's hiring.
"I like it," guard Brandon Wharton said. "There was never any doubt in my mind we would get a good coach. It's a relief to finally have one."
All-SEC freshman forward C.J. Black said,
"As a team, we haven't really talked to him.
We're going to give him a chance, no matter what."
Green's overall head coaching record in 14 seasons is 222-178. He also coached high school for six years.
Capitals may not get to take traditional dive
Hockey team usually loses early in playoffs
The Associated Press
LANDOVER, Md. — The Washington Capitals might not get a chance to perform their annual playoff collapse. This season they might not make the playoffs at all.
The Capitals have built a reputation for getting to the playoffs and hanging around just long enough to get bumped out in some unorthodox fashion.
Last year, they won their first two games in the first round against Pjttsburgh and then dropped four straight, including one that went to quadruple-overtime.
This season, Washington is in danger of missing the postseason for the first time in 15 years. The Capitals are tied with Hartford for the eighth and final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference, but the Whalers have two games in hand.
With five games left in the regular
season, the Capitals are already in playoff mode. Unfortunately, they're also without three key injured players: Chris Simon, Joe Juneau and Michal Pivonka.
"Every game has to mean more to us than it does to our opponent," coach Jim Schoenfeld said. "I don't think we can just match our opponent's effort, especially with the people we have out of the lineup."
The stretch run begins today in Ottawa. That is followed by home games against Florida, Montreal and the New York Islanders before the season finale in Buffalo on April 13. The Capitals need to score at least seven points in those five games.
"It's pretty obvious to me and to the players that we've got to win 3 1/2, maybe four of those games," Schoenefeld said.
Playing without three of its best scorers, Washington fell nine games below. 500 Tuesday with a 1-0 loss to New Jersey. The Capitals managed 25 shots, few of which tested the Devils' goalie, Martin Brodeur.
"Every game has to mean more to us than it does
to our
opponent."
Jim Schoenfeld Washington Capitals coach
"We're just having a problem with our offense," defenseman Sylvain Cote said. "Until we get some goals, it's going to be tough for us to win some games."
The lone goal came after New Jersey's Brian Rolston broke free behind the Washington net and whipped a pass to an open John MacLean. MacLean put the puck into the net for a 1-0 first-period lead.
Capitals goalie Bill Ranford stopped every other shot that came his way, but that one play proved to be the difference.
"Everything is magnified now," Schoenfeld said. "There are no insignificant plays for the remainder of the season. Everything you do will have a consequence. It could be a negative consequence or a positive one."
Injuries have been a key to the team's decline, and the Capitals expect to be without Juneau (41 points), Simon (22) and Pivonka (23) for at least the next two games.
The Capitals haven't been nine games under .500 since the 1981-82 season — the last time they missed the playoffs.
"It's easy to make excuses, but we have to forget about that," Cote said. "We have five games left to get points to get into the playoffs, and I don't think those guys will be back. So we have to do it with the players that we have. I don't know how we can create some offense, but we've got to do something."
Boston College coach joins Ohio State basketball team
The Associated Press
COLUMBUS, Ohio — Jim O'Brien, who coached Boston College for 11 years, was hired yesterday to take control of a struggling Ohio State basketball team. Two other candidates rejected the job.
O'Brien signed a five-year contract. He succeeds Randy Ayers, who was fired March 10. O'Brien inherits a team that finished 10-17 the last two years and was ninth in the Big Ten last season.
The deal includes a base salary of $150,000 a year. The Boston Herald reported that the total package, including outside endorsements and radio-TV contracts, to be worth about $650,000 a year.
athletic director Andy Geiger also interviewed Illinois State coach Kevin Stallings on Tuesday.
Geiger said O'Brien convinced him he really wanted to come to Ohio State and was not dissatisfied with Boston College.
"It was really important to me that we not be romance on the rebound," Geiger said. "He was ready for change, and this is a change he feels very, very good about."
O'Brien briefly met with his former players yesterday in Boston to tell them he was leaving.
O'Brien must rebuild a team that has had four straight losing seasons, a first in school history.
Ayers was fired a day after the Buckeyes finished this season.
