Wise sprained his ankle in practice Thursday afternoon and won't be able to play at all Friday and right i.ow it even looks like he won't be in shape for Saturday night's A, msm?;.- :vj ! There was a time not tc long age when colleges 'and universities m the area felt they had to go to the ranks of the assistant coaches in replacing the head coaches of our athletic teams. There vas the obvious reason that the institutions of higher education felt they couldnt tempt the head coaches in the matter of sala-ry, and so had to settle for a younger nan who was using the job in the Intermountain area as a stepping stone to better things. Now, however, in seeking a successor to Jack Gardner, the liniversity of Utah obviously can have its pick of a number of head basketball coaches, who are eager to move to the mountains. n ll ; Utah has to be one of the top coaching opportunities in the country, Athletic Director Bud Jack said on his return from cross cdpntry meetings last week. ' Of course, we dont expect to lure John Wooden avlay from UCLA or Adolph Rupp away from Kentucky, Bud laughed, but youd be amazed at the nmes of some of the coaches who have passed the wbrd via the grapevine that they would be inter- 1 game.

The basketball interest, while perhaps not topping the hoop insanity of Kentucky, Ohio or Indiana, certainly carries plenty of impetus. Here we have tradition, facilities, interest, fans aoi money, what more could any coach ask? Even the lack of population is a factor; a num, ber of coaches have indicated over the years a prf-- e recce for the area of Utah, as contracted to the problems of some of the larger population centers. 'i No, the University doesnt have to stand in the hafway with its hat in hand, hoping someone will invite the selection committee into the parlor. ed . 1 i NEW YORK (AP) Frazier led a - Walt By Dick Rosetta Tribune Sports Writer Joe Ingersoll, a prolific Skyline High School athlete, stands weighs 240 pounds and is just a mighty conspicuous Ingersoll put the shot and heaved the discus 166-last spring in winning both events in the state track meet as a junior. Overwhelmed Coach His throws this spring In overevents both have whelmed both his coaches, Ken Schmidt and Craig Poole, and have even shaken the normally placid Ingersoll. But the mighty must fall. Most you.ig men who stand 4 and weigh 240 would fall a long way, but Joe just went down a couple of rungs. He broke the big toe on his right foot last Saturday. Ah, it was really nothing. They said it would be a month before I would throw the shot or discus, but I was out Monday and actually threw in a meet Tuesday. It hurts, but Ive made up my mind not to be thrown off schedule this spring. Coach Schmidt has me set up to break both record at state and I am going to maintain that Joe said. schedule, Who would want to argue? laEt-quart- charge that brought the New York Knicks from nine points ? behind to a victory over Atlanta Thursday night to win their National Basket-- b a 1 1 Association playoff 111-1Q- 6-- 4 series. 2 The Knicks closed out the best-of-- 7 game Eastern Con- ference semifinal series, four games to one, and Will meet a the winner of the ' set.

But then Frazier went to work, hitting nine of his 25 points to pull the Knicks within with 2:12 remaining. Baltimore-Philadelphi- 91-8- 2 6-- 102-10- 1 Two Schools of Thought '. In selecting a coach, a committee generally has two schools of thought to consider. The first involves hiring a young fellow who is anbager-l?eave- r and will hustle his way to a winner, mabe. hard-workin- 1 g - - abil-ityf- to Observation Ward i I- 1 - 76ers Cop Win BALTIMORE (UPI), - An errant pass skipped off Jack Marin's hand was five seconds left to enable the Philadelphia 76ers to edge the BalThurstimore Bullets, day night and remain alive in their NBA Eastern Division semifinal playoff series. Wes Unselds pass to Miran bounced into the crowd, allowing the 76ers to take over the ball and kill the clock, sending the series back to Philadelphia Saturday for a sixth game. The Ballets hold a set edge in the 104-10- The second involves hiring an established "rfcme, a'man who will sell the university, the basketball program, and season tickets. I There js a risk involved in hiring the established , coach. He may figure his days are over &n that recruiting is not his cup of tea. Then the university is no better off for making a change. $ However, in leaning to the established coach, the university is playing the percentages. t, A coach who has been a winner over the years shqtuld have his contacts established, his recruiting Iin of communication open and his future in the balance. f The winner isnt taking the job of necessity, because hes out of a job. And he comes into the new job with the knowledge that he will be expected to produce in due time, or be out of a job. ? And you cant overlook the fact a name will help sell tickets to the Special Events Center. This becomes very important in the face of the competi-tic- a offered by the Cougars, Aggies and Wildcats, with the new challengers in the Stars and Golden Eagles. iThe ability to win is a necessary asset; the field and coach colorful teams which will attract fan support is just as vital. And the percentage saws to go with the best you esn get, which, is what I think the Utes will do. When a coach finishes second he may resign or fired; when a politician winds up second, he may line an ambassador. t Shot, Discus Eagles Ingersoll Aims For Thinclad Records!

Wise, who usually handles the best offensive player on the opposition, had to be helped off the floor. Willie underwent an operation on both ankles last year for bone chips and even this season he is in pain most of the time. And his absence will certainly not help the Stars in this series with Texas. The Chaps are led by possibly tne best guard in the ABA, Donnie Freeman, a former Utah Star who w'as traded to Texas m January along with Wayne Hightower for Glen Combs and Ron Boone. Freeman, whose specialty is lumpers from around the key, was a first-teaABA this year and averaged nearly 24 points per game. Wise pointed out Thursday afternoon that Freeman W'as one reason he wouldnt like to see the Tex 'ns beat Derver. "Hes going to come in here ready to roll right over us, Willie said. You can bet he d Vcne really want to beat us bad. Although the Stars defeated Die Chaps 11 times this season and lost only once, there is something to say for Texas. 115-10- three major universities Utah and all three have about same the programs. I just dent know where Im going to sr',ool just now. I do know iimt my grades in high school havent been the greatest, but Im really going to hit it in college, Joe laughed. After whipping state Ingersoll, Salt Lake Tribune Class AA football team last fall and a member of two Skyline state champion teams, subscribes to no magic formula for his field event success. Most shot putters have about 'he same form, but I like Randy Matson's style. Hes the world record holder so I guess he's okay to copy, Joe drawled. How about the discus? L. n All-Sta- Lakers Rip Bulls ANGELES (AP) -Gail Goodrich scored 33 points and had 11 assists Thursday night as the Los Angeles Lakers drubbed the Chicago Bulls to take a lead in National their Basketball Association playoff sei les. Although they led only at ths half, the Lakers spurted in the third quarter as Goodrich and his former UCLA teammate Keith Erickson hit from the outside. LOS 2 best-of-sev- J.

He (Joe Sr.) threw about 150 feet at Utah State 20 years or so back and that wasn't bad at the time," Ingersoll mused. Joe's dad commutes each week to Las Vegas where he He's in Salt is a dentist.

We had a spirited football Ingersoll game last fall, so we expect a good said, tussle Friday because as you know, they are favored to win the track championship. The state shot mark is and the discus mark is 170-So far this spring, Ingersoll has thrown 63 feet and 175 feet, respectively. Given a good big toe, Joe Ingersoll could send those marks into oblivion come May 4 15. Nothing New In ABA Draft Dcl There were no further dein the issue velopments involving Jim McDaniels, the Carolina Cougars and Utah Stars Thursday except that the Cougars and Stars were shoring up a case for a potentially explosive legal battle. Carolina the signed Western Ken tucky to an estimated $3 million contract Tuesday. The only problem is that the Stars I'wn the draft rights to No the ABA, since qualifying that with McDaniels apparently does not want to play ball in Utah it is better for him to go to Carolina! and stay in the ABA.

In other games Friday, the Memphis Pros are at Indiana, the New York Nets are at Virginia and the Floridians are at Kentucky. The Chaps have absolutely on them n this series. Nobody exppets 'hem to win. But everybody expects the Siars to vv in and that means the pressure is on Utah. the Stars What's more, were in a similar position to Texas last year. They barely qualified for the playoffs and they came into them confident they had nothing to lose; as it turned out they almost won the whole thing.
