OSU’s Anderson tries to get struggling team on track
PORTLAND. Ore. (AP) — Oregon Slate
coach Jim Anderson admits he's frustrat
ed hy hi* team's disappointing basketball
season, but he insists he isn't worrying
about his job future.
"I've been with three very, very tough
coaches, and I've learned through the
process that you can only do your very
best.” ho said Monday "Whatever else
happens you don't have control over, so
I'm not going to waste my time, energy
and mood on it."
Anderson, whose contract expires after
the 1993-fM season, has heard the boos in
(nil Coliseum as his team struggled to an
H-tl record.
The senior-dominated Heavers were
picked before the season as a possible
contender for the Par-10 title, but an
inconsistent offense has doomed them to
mediocrity. *.
Oregon Stale is shooting from the
field. If that figure holds to the end of the
season, it would be the Beavers' lowest
since 1966-67
"Every coach has lo have high expecta
tions because that is sometimes what
motivates players." Anderson said in a
telephone interview from his (.orvallis
office. "You have to have a dream
•‘The only problem that comes with
those kind of expectations is. if you don't
realize them, and people don t under
stand the reasons why. people can
become very critical of your players, your
team and everyone around here ”
Athletic director Dutch Baughman said
Anderson's performance will lie reviewed
after the season, as is routine Any deci
sion to get rid of the coach would be a dif
ficult one.
Anderson. 55. is ns personable a coach
as can be found in major-college basket
ball. and he bleeds Beaver orange. He
played three seasons for Oregon State and
was an assistant coach there for 26 sea
sons When Ralph Miller retired in 1969.
Anderson finally moved up to the head
coaching job
Hi* first team, led by Gary Payton,
shared the Pac-10 title. But since then,
the Beavers are 40-ai and are virtually
certain to miss the NCAA tournament for
the third straight year
Anderson trac es the inconsistency to
players' weaknesses.
"Sometimes if you're not a real com
plete player in ail phases, your weak
nesses come I>ack to haunt you." he said.
"It's like the old saying: You're only as
strong as your weakest jink."
Sometimes it's hard to tell which play
er will do the best job. Anderson said.
"You think one player is playing well,
then all of a sudden he has six turnovers
and can't defend anybody." he said
Scott Haskin. the Beavers' 6-foot-ll all
conference center, is having an up-and
down season He's scored as many as 32
points, against Oregon, and as few as two,
against Southern Cal.

loi. hut sometime* he misses some easv
shots. And he gets frustrated sometimes
by foul problems." Anderson said.
Sagging defenses also have hampered
Haskin s effectiveness, the coach said.
Brent Barry. Oregon State's sophomore
point guard, also has been erratic, some
times making a sensational play and oth
or times throwing the ball into the fourth
row of seats Barry, son of former NBA
great Rick Barry, is still learning what it
means to be a plavmaker. Anderson said.
Backup Fat Strickland has a bettor feel
for the position, but he is not a good
shooter and has trouble seeing over
defensive players because he's only 5-9.
Anderson insists the team has not giv
en up as it prepares to play fourth-ranked
Arizona Thursday night in Tucson.
1 really like this team." he said. "They
work hard. They've got great intentions.
They try to do tilings the right way.”
