Knight to be treated like any other candidate
Lubbock, Texas Texas Tech officials could offer Bob Knight their head coaching job on the spot when he visits Thursday.
But a school spokeswoman said Tuesday they have no plans to bend a university policy requiring that the job remain open for 10 working days, a period that ends March 23 at 5 p.m.
"There are provisions where you could get around it, but we are not going to get around it," spokeswoman Cindy Rugeley said. "There's no good reason to get around it. We've never done it and we're not going to do it in this instance."
Meanwhile Tuesday, Red Raiders athletic director Gerald Myers said he developed a list of about 10 potential candidates, though Knight is the only one who has been invited to the campus.
Williams in, Boozer out for first-round game
Durham, N.C. Jason Williams is in and Carlos Boozer is out of Duke's opening-round NCAA Tournament game.
Williams, the team's All-America point guard and leading scorer, went through a light practice Tuesday for the first time since spraining his left ankle in Duke's 26-point victory over North Carolina on Sunday.
The top-seeded Blue Devils (29-4) play Monmouth on Thursday night at the Greensboro Coliseum.
Boozer started 28 games at center before breaking a bone in his right foot Feb. 27 against Maryland. He was ruled out of this weekend's NCAA action, but is off crutches and began walking on a treadmill and shooting free throws Monday.
