Lambright said at a news con ference his problem was with one individual, not the school. He did not name the individual. In February, Lambright said he was unhappy about the severance package offered him and might bring a lawsuit over it. He said that after 30 years of service, he felt he deserved better than to be shown the door and handed a $276,000 severance deal. “This is my school,” he told The Seattle Times then. “I don’t want to be made out a bad guy at a school I lived and died for, but af ter six weeks it appears my only recourse is going to court.” Lambright was fired in Decem ber after six years as head coach — a period in which the Huskies won 60 percent of their games. He was replaced two weeks later by Rick Neuheisel, who is being paid $7 million over seven years. In all, Lambright spent 35 years with the Huskies as a player, as sistant coach and head coach. His severance package was, by con tract, one year of $176,000 in base salary plus a $100,000 retirement annuity. Lambright had refused to cash any of the checks he received, saying that would indicate he had accepted the terms. UW Athletic Director Barbara Hedges, who made the decision to fire Lambright, said her hands were tied on the matter of sever ance. “Certainly, I understand where Jim is coming from,” she told The Times. “The reality is we have a commitment both parties worked on for a long time. The contract is clear. The university won’t allow me to do any more because it is outside the contract. “We addressed 90 percent of Jim’s needs in the last negotia tions and the termination clause was never even discussed.” At his news conference Mon day, Lambright said he is taking a position as head of a charitable group called “A Better World,” a non-profit arm of the Seattle based Pacific Institute, which spe cializes in motivational speakers. Lambright was sued last week by former Washington quarter back Shane Fortney over Lam bright’s handling of Fortney’s 1996 knee injury. That lawsuit, filed Thursday in Snohomish County Superior Court in Everett, about 30 miles north, seeks unspecified dam ages. It contends Fortney’s pro football prospects were hurt by Lambright’s “reckless, malicious and unreasonable treatment” over the injury. Lambright, commenting on the lawsuit Monday, said whether a player plays is up to the medical staff, not the coach. Sammy not so super in early-season struggles By Rick Gano The Associated Press CHICAGO — Back home at Wrigley Field where his every move, gesture and smile is greeted with cheers and chants of his name, Sammy Sosa wanted des perately to please, to give every one who came what they wanted to see. Instead, his struggles at the plate continued. Not only didn’t he homer, he managed just one hit— a measly dribbler in the infield — as the Chicago Cubs lost their home opener to the Cincinnati Reds 7-2. The Reds had no power prob lems. Mike Cameron, who never fulfilled his potential on the other side of Chicago with the White Sox, hit two of Cincinnati’s four homers as the Reds gave the Cubs a fourth straight loss. “I wish I could have a hit or homer every time,” said Sosa, who went l-for-4, dropping him to 3 for-25 for the season with one homer. “Now the pitchers don’t want to give me anything to hit. I got to be patient and relaxed, keep rolling. We’re struggling, but it’s still early. A lot of people cheered me, and they know I’m in a slump and that we can play better. ” Sosa came to bat with two on and no outs in the eighth against reliever Scott Sullivan with the Cubs trailing 5-2. He flied out to shallow right, ending his frustrat ing day before a spirited crowd of 30,092. “I’m not swinging the way I’m supposed to be. I’ve been chasing bad pitches,” Sosa said. “I’ve got to to come and find out what’s the matter.” Steve Avery (1-1) got his first NL victory since 1996, and Barry Larkin and Eddie Taubensee also homered for the Reds. “I had a tough time here in Chicago last year. I put entirely too much pressure on myself,” said Cameron, who was traded away in the off-season by the White Sox. “I had to believe in myself before anybody else could. This was one of the best feelings I’ve ever had. ” The Cubs’ depleted pitching staff got another scare when Kevin Tapani (1-1), a 19-game winner last season, had to leave after three in- » nings with tightness in his right shoulder. He didn’t know after the game if he would miss his next start. The Cubs already are without NL rookie of the Year Kerry Wood, who will miss the season follow ing elbow surgery, and reliever Terry Adams is also on the DL with an elbow sprain. Tapani initially hurt the shoul der while batting last week in Houston and didn’t want to take a chance this early in the season. He’ll rest a couple days, do some exercises and taike medication. “It just grabbed on me,” Tapani said. “It’s a little sore. It’s muscle type stuff and I need to build up my strength. I’m not looking at it as a major thing. I just can’t let it alter the way I throw.” Avery, who took a no-hitter into the seventh inning of his first start against the Giants before losing, al lowed three hits in seven innings with five walks and five strikeouts. “I took a little while to get going with the cold,” Avery said of the sunny 49-degree day. “I know how to change speeds now, and eventually with my fast ball coming around, I will get more strikeouts. Once I get rid of the little blips like walks, things will be where I want. ” Larkin hit a two-run homer in the third — his third of the year— offTapani.
