A former army basketball player Norris Coleman might be ineligible to play the rest of this College season. But that did t deter voters on associated press newspapers from making him a first team All big eight Choice. Coleman who averaged More than 20 Points and eight rebounds per game for Kansas state was an easy Winner of one of the first team spots on the a 1985-86 All big eight squad. The 6-foot-8 freshman is a former Soldier who starred at Schweinfurt Germany in the Early 1980s. Last week an Mcaa committee ruled that Coleman 24, could not count ninth Grade work in figuring his High school Tran script.

There is a possibility however slim any one might think it is that the ruling could be overturned said Goering. What would we do then go Back and take another vote he was sure on my ballot As being among the top five players in the conference. It s hard to argue with his statistics and what he meant to Kansas there s no question said Harold be Chard sports editor of the Salina Kan journal that Coleman is not Only the Best freshman in the big eight but one of the Best freshmen in the country. He had a major Impact on Kansas state and on the big eight.
