Hartman to retire after 16 years as Wildcat coach
The Associated Press
MANHATTAN — Kansas State head coach Jack Hartman announced last night that he is stepping down as head of the Wildcats' basketball program after 16 years.
Hartman said at a news conference on the KSU campus that his resignation would be effective at the end of the school year.
"I'm a guy who's 60 years old and has been coaching for about 50 of them. Do you have to have a reason?" he said. "I think I'm satisfied. I've had enough."
"There was no good time to make the announcement," he said.
Hartman he reached his decision to quit last summer.
Hartman has a cumulative record of 202-162 at Kansas State. He has led the Wildcats to three regular-season Big Eight championships and two post-season tournament titles. They have had seven 20-win seasons under Hartman.
His overall college record, including eight seasons at Southern Illinois, is 436-256. He ranks 14th in victories among active coaches.
In 1981, Kansas State upsetset Oregon Francisco, second-reanked Oregon State and Illinois in the NCAA tournament, advancing to the final eight before losing in the West Regional Championship to North Carolina.
In 1977, the Wildcats, with a lineup of starters all under 6-foot-5, won the Big Eight title and post-season tour

HARTMAN PROFILE
Overall coaching record: 586-272 (30 seasons).
Family: wife, the former Pat Divall; three daughters, Jana, Davy and Jackie.
Age: 60
Education: Graduated from Oklahoma State in 1950.

nament. In the NCAA, they lost 67-66 in their second tournament game to Marquette, the eventual national champion.
This year, the Wildcats are 1-4 in the Big Eight and 13-7 overall.
Hartman missed the final 15 games of the 1984-85 season after suffering a heart attack Jan. 12, 1985, hours after a 56-55 loss to Oregon State in the 13th game of the season.
The veteran coach began feeling ill at his home and was taken to a Topeka hospital, where doctors performed a quadruple heart bypass operation the next day.
Assistant Coach Daryl Winston took over just before the start of the Big Eight schedule and finished out
the year. The Wildcats, who were 9-4 before Hartman was stricken, lost their first two games under Winston, won the next, then went into a six-game skid. They finished 14-14 overall and 5-9 in the Big Eight, good for a fifth-place tie.
Hartman, recovering rapidly from his surgery, began putting in brief appearances at practice and the players started to adjust. A victory over Nebraska broke the six-game losing streak, and then after a loss to powerful Kansas, the Wildcats closed out the regular season with victories over Colorado, Iowa State and Missouri. They lost to Missouri in their final game, at the Big Eight tournament.

Acting coach Jimmy Williams, replacing Jim Dutcher who resigned Saturday, stuck to fundamentals with his squad of nine players. Only two of the players had played regularly this season, and three were untested reserves added this week.
Two of those reserves, Tim Juneau, a tight end, and Roselle Richardson, a quarterback, were recruited from the football team.
Minnesota was playing its first game since the arrests of Mitch Lee, Kevin Smith and George Williams for the alleged rape of an 18-year-old Madison, Wis., woman one week ago. The three were charged with sexual assault and will appear Feb. 6 at a preliminary hearing in Madison.
The squad was further reduced Wednesday when Williams suspended two other players — guard Todd Alexander and forward Terence Woods — for violating team rules. Michigan 82, Northwestern 45
ANN ARBOR, Mich. — Antoine Joubert broke out of a shootgun slump with 19 points Thursday night to propel No. 8 Michigan to an 82-45 destruction of Big Ten foe Northwestern.
Michigan broke the game open early in the first half and then coasted the rest of the way to raise its record to 18-2 overall and 6-2 in the Big Ten.

Kempf said Kansas would be challenged by Scott McCadam, Cycle sprint swimmer, but that Jayhawk swimmers, Grant Seavall, Allan Chaney, Chris McCool and Chris Cook could stop McCadam.
"Iowa State women are dominating and have handled us well over the years," Gary Kempf, Kansas head swim coach, said Wednesday. "It should be a good dual meet. It will be tough to win."
Two Cyclone women swimmers, Beth Marris, spinter, and Lynn Campbell, distance freestyle, could pose a threat to the Jayhawks.
The women compete at 7 tonight, and the men will be competing at 2 in tomorrow.

If the Kansas Jayhawks are to win the Big Eight championship, they will need to avoid what happened Tuesday in their loss at Iowa State — a mental lapse.

Dreiling said yesterday as he and the Jayhawks prepared to face Kansas State tomorrow in Manhattan.
"We know people are going to be shooting at us this season and we have to be ready for that," he said.
Dreiling said the Jayhawk needed to enter their game in K-State's Ahearn Field House "ready to play."
Kansas is ranked fifth in the country at 19-3 (4-1 in the Big Eight) while
the Wildcats are 13.7 and have lost four games in the conference.
The Jayhawks have won the last five from the Wildcats, but whenever the two teams play, Dreiling said the record book might as well be thrown out.
"Whatever happened previously won't matter." Dreiling said. "It's Kansas and Kansas State and that's all it comes down to. We're going to try to get their crowd out of the game early."
In addition to the Wildcat crowd, the Jayhawks will have to contend with K-State's Norris Oleman, the 23-year-old freshman, who just completed a four-year stint in the Army.
Coleman, a 6-foot-8-inch forward,
has the best statistics of any freshman in the Big Eight averaging 21 points (nearly 30 in conference play) and eight rebounds a game. His front-line play has been compared to Wayman Tisdale's by Oklahoma head coach Billy Tubbs.

K-State enters the game after suffering its fourth conference loss Wednesday against Oklahoma State 86-70.
"When I looked at our schedule I knew we would have the toughest month a team could have in January," he said. "I felt it was the most difficult time we could face, but looking back I think we handled it well."
"K-State is a big game for us home or away," Brown said. "I think both teams have a lot to prove after our loss at Iowa State and I'm sure Coach (K-State's Jack Hartman) is a little down after their game against OSU."
The 77-74 loss at Iowa State capped what was Kansas' most hectic month in January. Brown said that the Jayhawk schedule would become a little easier in February and that the

Jayhawks look to rebound against OU

Kansas head women's basketball coach Marian Washington said Tuesday that a win over Colorado Wednesday night would have given her team the needed confidence boost for Saturday's showdown with No. 14 and Big Eight Conference leader Oklahoma.
A different Marian Washington stood outside Kansas' locker room after Colorado ruined her plans by taking advantage of Jayhawk mistakes and holding off a late Kansas rally to win 56-49.
"We went out to play basketball. Colorado went out to win," she said yesterday. "We beat ourselves."
The Jayhawks, who shot only 29 percent from the floor, dropped to 12-6 overall and into a tie with Missouri for second place in the Big Eight at 3-2.
A half-hour after the loss, Washington had her team back on the floor practicing and trying to eliminate the rebounding problems, among others, that had plagued them Wednesday night and throughout the

season. Colorado outrebounded Kansas. 52-43.
Washington said the Jayhawks responded well to the practice, which they thought was necessary.
Now Kansas faces its biggest game to date at 1 p.m. tomorrow against what Washington said was an "explosive and deep" Oklahoma club. The Sooners are 16-2 overall and 41-
Although the Sooners boast a balanced scoring attack, with all starters returning from last year and averaging in double figures, Washington said Kansas would concentrate on containing Oklahoma's backcourt duo of Vickie Green and Viki Streets. Green averages 12.8 points per game and Streets 10.7.
Washington said Green and Streets, whom she considered to be the best guards in the conference, were effective in controlling the powerful Oklahoma fast break. The Sooners' team offense leads the Big Eight and is No. 11 nationally with an 82.6 scoring average.
Washington also said she hoped the Colorado loss would motivate the Jayhawks to avoid the same mistakes against an Oklahoma offense that could capitalize on them
"It's always disappointing when we don't give our best." Washington said after the Colorado game.

Jayhawks invited to Missouri track meet
Two women to miss meet for Javhawks

The women's indoor track team will be without junior Rosie Wadman and sophomore Ann O'Connor tomorrow at the Missouri Invitational in Columbia.
Wadman, a paddlethate, has had tendinitis in her knees since fall, and assistant track coach Cliff Rovelto said yesterday that she needed some more rest.
Rovelto said O'Connor had not been jumping well lately and would use the time to work on her technique.
"Ann is in a rut," Roveil said. "She is going to take a week off and concentrate on jumping."
O'Connor said she was in a slump and that the week off would give her an opportunity to improve her jumps.
The Jayhawks will be competing against Kansas State, Iowa State, Oklahoma State, Arizona State and Georgetown at the invitational.
"This is not a scored meet, so the emphasis will be on the individual performances." Rovello said.

Senior Kim Jones is ranked among the top five or six long jumpers in the conference. Rovelto said.
Denise Buchanan prepares to hurl the shot-put during track practice. She worked out yesterday afternoon at Anschutz Sports Pavilion in preparation for the Missouri Invitational tomorrow at Columbia.
On Saturday, Jones will jump against Missouri rival Lorenda Richardson.
At the Big Eight Outdoor Track Championship last year, Richardson beat Jones by half an inch.
Sophomore Denise Buchanan probably is the best shot-putter and disc thrower in the conference, Rovelto said.
He also said the women would be competing in different events tomorrow to give them the opportunity to participate in them.

The Kansas men's track team will meet Big Eight Conference competition for the first time this season as it faces four conference schools tomorrow at the Missouri Invitational in Columbia.

Kansas will go against Big Eight foes Iowa State, Kansas State, Oklahoma State and Missouri. The Baylor Bears also will compete.
Baylor is sending three National Collegiate Athletic Association outdoor finalists in the pole vault in what Timmons called the first real test for the Jayhawks' pole vaulters.
"The only real powerful team not there is Nebraska," men's head coach Bob Timmons said yesterday. "It'll be a very, very tough meet for us, and I think it'll show us where we are."
As far as the conference competition goes, Timmons said preseason indoor favorite Iowa State would cause Kansas the most problems.
The Jayhawks are fresh from their first indoor win of the year. Kansas opened the season Saturday with a victory in the Kansas Invitational.
Three Jayhawks freshmen, David Bond (triple jump), Ornette Gaines (60-yard dash) and Courtney Hawkins (60-yard hurdles) placed first in the meet.
"I'm pleased with our team so far," Timmons said. "But we know we have a long way to go, and I think we'll find out this weekend just what we're up against."
