(ia The Dm ks (18 10 overall) had the typo of season nobody i ould make any qualms about They rose above all the exportation* except the ones they plans) u|>on themselves as they lieat three nationally ranked teams during the regular season and held a 4 H record against teams that re< oivod fmrths into the tourna merit And coming down the stretch, the women gave the hometown crowd a taste of what's in store for next year's team as they destroyed the opposition in their final four home games Simply said, the season was another major step in the right direr tion during the Jody Runge era "We have a lot of players who will lie a year older, and I think that can’t ne anything hut better." Oregon head r oach Jody Runge said "1 hope we take it 'the first round loss) as a positive and an experience that will make us all the better." for many of the Ducks, the game against Ixuiisvilic was their first taste of tournament at tior.

So we put together this package for him. and we're awfully glad that he t ame to Out decision he did,” The total package Oregon will enter the contract with Green inc ludes a base salary of $100,000 with an additional $140,000 generated by a combina tion of hi* Nike and Oregon Sports Network con tracts The perpetual contract is a roll-over clause, whic h means Green will always have a four-year c ontrai t enforc ed for as long as his performanc e and the way he manages the Oregon program is to everyone's satisfaction There a re no other special provisions in the contrac t. and the length of the contract has no relation to further compensation "We were sufficiently encouraged by what we've seen happen over the last three years to know that this University can have one of the strongest men's basketball programs in the coun try, Williams said "We're going to do all we can to make that happen ” Tart of doing everything the athletic department i an is in undergoing renovations to Me Arthur Court, currently the oldest on-campus fac ility in collegiate athletics "We have promised to do that because we think it is not only good for our men's program but will also play an important role in the sue c ess of our women's program and will give our new i ewe h in volleyball an added advantage.” Williams said "So the entire department is going to benefit from this sort of adjustment A plan has been in the works for over a month, but a lot of what is done will lie affec tied by what the department determines the first priorities to be However, the athletic department will trv to get enough renovations done before the next basket ball seasons so the public will know it is commit ted to making Mac Court a liettur plat« I wouldn't expec 1 what we want to do will lw< done in one year." Williams s.mi “There are no plans that we have now for replac ing Mac Court, but as I said, I think if there is going to lie a new basketball pavilion that we play in, it will he a i ommuniU facility financed by the University and the county JJ We were sufficiently encouraged by what we've seen happen over the last three years to know that this University can have one of the strongest men s basketball programs in the court try - DAN WILLIAMS Oregon Dir eel or of Athletics —-// "in fin- short term, it's muc h wiser for us to invest in making Mac Court n better place. We ll make an investment that will justify staving in Me Arthur Court for another 10 or 12 years.” The upc omiug step in the renovation process is for the athletic department to establish a user group of the volleyball and both basketball pro grams and seek ideas of the* c hanges and improve ments required from their point of view Separate from Green’s c ontrac tual pac kage, Ore gon has also given permission for a group of local supporters to pure.base and put together an annu itv Details of the- annuity have yet to la* solidified. Williams said, licit it would lie structured along the lines of what is ' standard in the industry ” It's very common in the coac hing profession these days to inc lude in their pac kages either by the institution or separata from the institution — the purc hase of an insurance police at a fixed rate that in some future time when that conc h nears retirement, the polic y would work toward making -i supplementary payment for the balance* of their lives Williams said Acc ording to Williams, an annuity provides an incentive for a c ouc h to remain at a program for a fixed period of time ! u ln-c ..hgihle lor part or nil of the annuity.
