Committee hasn't ruled on Coleman's eligibility
United Press International
MISSION — The NCAA eligibility committee failed to rule yesterday on whether Kansas State forward Norris Coleman may play next season and whether any penalties should be levied against him.
strong case:
Coleman's attorney, Jeff Schemmel of Topeka, said the problem was one of interpretation, not cheating.
Kansas State Athletic Director Larry Travis said the university, Coleman's attorney and the eligibility committee held a telephone conference yesterday morning. However, Travis said that by yesterday evening he had not been informed of the committee's ruling.
"The core of the problem is the interpretation of a rule," Schemmel said. "Kansas State interpreted it one way and the NCAA administrative committee interpreted it another."
"We feel that the circumstances surrounding this case are different than any other they've ever had." I think we have a strong case."
"When Kansas State was informed of the NCAA's interpretation, the university declared Norris ineligible for the remaining two games of the season and was forced to forfeit all four of the Big Eight victories."
Schemmel said the best thing that could happen for Kansas State, Coleman and the NCAA was for Coleman to be declared completely
"The best thing that could happen from everyone's standpoint is for Norris to keep playing college basketball at Kansas State and working toward a degree," Schemmel said.

Duane Dapron, sports information director at Kansas State, said the five-man eligibility committee could order Coleman to sit out the number of games he played while ineligible. That number is 28.
Last week, the NCAA executive council sustained a ruling of the administrative committee that Coleman was academically imminent for the 1985-86 season because he did not have the 2.0 GPA required at the
Coleman was the country's highest-scoring first-year player in Division I last season.

SEOUL, South Korea — The Secretary General of the Seoul Olympic Organizing Committee again rejected North Korea as a co-host of the 1988 Summer Games yesterday and he promised the competition will be run "under the safest conditions ever."

He Lae-hwo told reporters at the general assembly of the Association of National Olympic Committees that the North Korean plan to share the host role "is contrary to the IOC's position and the position of National Olympic Committees around the world."
While South Korea objects to be only a co-host, it has hinted it may be willing to schedule some Olympic events in North Korea.
