Under the Carolina plan, there needs to be one person for the coaches to report to." "I feel my main concern at the present time is spring practice," Carlen said. "I don't think I should make any comments on the subject." BOTH SIDES of the dispute however, are enthusiastic that a solution can be reached soon, Gray said. According to Morris, the problem in reorganizing USC's athletic program can and will be worked out internally. "I believe we are very close to a solution," he said "The need for legal action can be avoided." Gray said Holderman also believes a solution to the problem is near. "Once we get this situation settled," Gray said, "we can go on with our program as if nothing had even happened." CARLEN'S CONTRACT, which was signed before Holderman's arrival at USC, has been the center of the controversy.
