From Staff and Wire Reports
Bill Foster, USC's head men's basketball tl
coach, said he wants to get back to work and ^
may be on the bench tomorrow when the ^
Gamecocks play Holy Cross.
Foster, who had coronary bypass surgery p
two months ago after USC, upset Purdue, a
said he won't make a big deal out of it when i
he returns.
"I don't want to create a carnival atmosphere,"
the 52-year-old coach said. "I
don't plan to make any kind of special entrance,
like dropping out of the rafters in a 8
parachute." J
Foster has been going to his office and
attending practice sessions, and he watched
USC lose to Clemson on television Saturday. /
He said watching the Clemson game was a *
lot tougner on mm emotionally than waiting ?
until the game was over to learn the outcome.
]
He said he was also nervous.
"I was constantly going back to the
refrigerator for something to snack on," he
said. "At least if I'm on the bench I won't be
eating all the time." ii
