Kent a finalist
for Coach of the Year
Oregon men’s basketball coach
Ernie Kent has been named one of
20 finalists for the 2002 Naismith
College Basketball Coach of the
Year, Executive Director of the At
lanta Tipoff Club Jackie Bradford
announced Wednesday.
Kent, who has guided the 15 th
ranked Ducks to an 18-7 record this
season and has his team tied for
first in the Pac-10, is in his fifth sea
son at Oregon and has the Ducks on
track for their third postseason bid
in the last four years.
In his fifth year with the Ducks,
Kent has an 86-56 overall record. His
11-year coaching record is 176-136.
The Naismith College Coach of
the Year will be announced April 5
in Atlanta.
Another starter
leaves Oregon State
For the second time this week, a
starter from the Oregon State men’s
basketball team has left the program.
It was announced Wednesday
that junior forward Brian Jackson
had left the team. Junior Jimmie
Haywood, a starting guard, left Ore
gon State on Sunday.
Jackson was the team’s second
leading scorer (11.7) and rebounder
(3.9). He was also second on the team
for field goal attempts per minutes
played and for overall field goal at
tempts per game. Jackson ranked
among the Pac-10 Conference lead
ers for field goal percentage (.551)
and free throw percentage (.802).
“Brian indicated to me that he
was leaving because he felt there
was too much pressure being put
on him by our fans, and he desired
more of a heightened role in our of
fensive scheme,” Oregon State
head coach Ritchie McKay said.
“We certainly wish Brian the best
in his future endeavors.”
Jackson started 70 of 76 career
games he appeared in at Oregon
State. He missed three games this
season due to an abdominal strain
injury, did not play five contests his
freshman season with a bruised
knee, and was limited in other
games due to various ailments over
his more than two-year career. Foul
problems were continually an issue
for Jackson as well, as he was dis
qualified 17 times in 52 games over
the last two seasons.
Jackson arrived on the OSU cam
pus in the fall of 1999 from Knappa
High School in Knappa, Ore., where
he led the Loggers to a pair of state
( 2A titles. Jackson was a three-time
all-state selection and the 2A Play
er of the Year twice. He left Knappa
as the state’s second all-time leading
scorer with 2,515 points.
Women’s tennis hosts
Nevada today
The Oregon women’s tennis team
looks to continue a hot start to its sea
son today with a 5 p.m. match against
Nevada at the Student Tennis Center.
Coming off consecutive losses to
No. 7 Arizona State and No. 43 Ari
zona last weekend, 59th-ranked
Ducks head into today’s match with
a 6-3 overall record.
Nevada (2-3 overall) is 1-1 on the
road this season, including a 4-3
win over Santa Clara and a 6-1 loss
to No. 14 California. The Wolf Pack
are led by senior Tjasa Jezernik,
who is 4-1 in singles play this year.
The Ducks swept the doubles
matches against Arizona and Ari
zona State last weekend before fal
tering in singles play.
Oregon jumps back into Pacific-10
Conference play this weekend, hosting
No. 12 Washington on Saturday and
No. 29 Washington State on Sunday.

continued from page 9
action in 26 of 28 games as a junior.
This season, though, he’s averaging
just over nine minutes per game in
15 appearances.
“As a player, you can’t be contept
with not playing, because if you’re
that way then you probably don’t
deserve to be there,” Lindquist
said. “But we’re in a great position
right now as a team and I don’t un
derstand how anyone can com
plain about it.”
Lindquist cites his marriage as
one of the main reasons for the pos
itive attitude he’s kept.
“If I wasn’t married and in this
same situation, I might not handle
it the same way,” he said. “It’s
helped me be more unselfish. You
have to realize that there’s two peo
ple in your marriage and you have
to give up some of yourself. That’s
closely related to basketball. You
have to think about the other guys
and the goals of the team.”
Oregon head coach Ernie Kent
has noticed the sacrifices that both
Lindquist and Michaelis have had
to take. Kent credits them with
adding “character balance” to the
Ducks and values their leadership
and team-first mentality.
“Because of their backgrounds
and that they’re married, it has ma
tured them beyond their years,” Kent
said. “They’re going to be extremely
successful in life. It’s extremely
tough for anybody to sit on the bench
and it’s tough for a coach to look
down there and see them sitting.
“But they may still have the op
portunity to help us win some
games and get into that postseason
tournament, which is a reward for
everybody.”
Lindquist remembers well the
feeling of being a part of Oregon’s
2000 NCAA Tournament team.
Michaelis also has fond memories
of that team, but he wasn’t able to
participate as he was sitting out the
mandatory one year after transfer
ring from Brigham Young.
Now, they’d love to end their
careers as Pac-10 champs and
have their final games come in the
Big Dance.
“This is an exciting time,”
Lindquist said. “All I care about is
getting that big fat ring for the con
ference championship.”
When the season does come to
an end, both Michaelis and
Lindquist will gracefully move into
the next phase of their lives.
Michaelis and Amanda aren’t sure
where they’ll end up, but they
wouldn’t mind staying in Oregon.
“We just love Eugene,” said
Amanda, who works for a local ac
counting firm. “My favorite part is
all the support this community has
for the team.”
Lindquist hopes to land an in
ternship with Nike in Portland, but
foresees that he and Joy may move
back to their hometown of St.
George, Utah, where they met
while in high school.
“I look back on my time here and
I’ve certainly come a long ways, not
just basketball-wise, but off the
court,” Lindquist said. “I’ll always
cherish these years and have a great
deal of appreciation for it.”
Said Michaelis: “It’s been an hon
or to play here.”
And they both feel fortunate to
have had their partners in life along
for the ride.
