Floyd, the former Iowa State
coach, will be director of basket-
ball operations until the end of the
NBA lockout. Then, Jackson will
have one last chance to come
back as coach for a run at a sev-
enth championship. Jackson s
agent, however, immediately
squelched that idea, saying: "He’s
not coming back.”
Floyd will be responsible tor a
variety of tasks, including those
handled by the head coach dur-
ing the summer.
NEW YORK (AP) — The
NBA players union filed an un-

seeking to end the three-week-old
lockout because it was imposed
improperly. The union alleges the
NBA imposed the lockout with-
out having bargained to an im-
passe as required under the Na-
tional Labor Relations Act.
The NLRB played a major role
in bringing the baseball strike to
an end in 1995, finding that own-
ers had not bargained in good
faith up until the point when the
players went on strike. The
NLRB asked a federal judge to
grant an injunction restoring base-
ball's old work rules, and the
strike ended March 31, 1995,
when the injunction was granted.
If the board agrees with the
union, it can ask a federal judge
to issue an injunction restoring
terms of the old collective bar-
gaining agreement.
ROME (AP) — Instead of the
NBA players that originally com-
prised the team for the World
Championships, coach Rudy
Tomjanovich made the final cuts
and finished with a team of 12
players consisting of collegians,
CBA players and Americans who
play professionally in Europe.
Among the dozen who survived
the final cut were Big Ten player
of the year Mateen Cleaves of
Michigan State, and Jimmy King,
who played for Michigan teams
that reached two NCAA champi-
onship games.
NORTH READING, Mass.
(AP) _ A California arbitrator
has upheld Converse’s termina-
tion of Latrell Sprewell as an en-
dorser and spokesman. Converse
fired Sprewell in December after
the Golden State Warriors guard
attacked his coach, P.J. Carlesi-
mo. Sprewell filed suit against
Converse on Dec. 29, 1997,
claiming the company did not
have the right to fire him.
