Possible Successors Assistant coach Gordon Stauf fer and Norman Sloan, former Citadel coach now at Florida, are among those mentioned as possi ble successors to Stevens. "It was a hard decision to make," said Stevens, "but it is a case where you can't sacrifice sentiment for professional prog ress." The basketball coach had high praise for the teams he has coached in his three seasons here. "Every team was made up of fine young men - they made a superhuman performance on the court and were fine representa tives of the University wherever they went," he said.
