TYLER, Texas - Former ACU men's basketball player, head coach and ACU Sports Hall of Famer Dee Nutt passed away Wednesday. He was 84.

Funeral arrangements are still pending as of late Wednesday afternoon.

Nutt - one of the most influential figures in the history of ACU men's basketball - was inducted into the ACU Sports Hall of Fame as part of the 1987-88 class, the second class in the hall's history. An all-state high school player in Clifton, Ariz., Nutt was an all-conference guard for the Wildcats during his playing career, which spanned 1946-50. He later became the Wildcats' head coach, and in two separate stints covering 16 seasons he posted a record of 208-201 and led the Wildcats to seven conference championships.

ACU Hall of Famer Dr. David Wray played for Nutt from 1964-67 and was a central figure on two of the best teams in school history, and he said Nutt's impact on his life ? as well as on the lives of his teammates ? can't be overstated.

"He was a significant mentor in my life, and the lessons learned on the ACU campus and basketball court formed me for a lifetime of imitating the Godly principles and practices of his life," said Wray, who is currently Associate Dean of Spiritual Life and Co-curriculum and Associate Professor of Christian Education at ACU.

"Coach Nutt cared much more about character development and the well-being of his athletes than his won-loss record," Wray said. "It was not unusual for Coach Nutt to invite the team over to his house for a time of worship and prayer. During those worship times he instilled in us spiritual principles which have provided all of us former athletes with a moral compass throughout our lives. His behavior on and off the court served as an exemplar for the scores of us who played for him."

As a prep standout at Clifton (Ariz.) High School, Nutt was a 1946 all-state selection, along with future Arizona State football star Wilford "Whizzer" White.

Nutt, a 1950 graduate of Abilene Christian, was one of the school's all-time great men's basketball players. He was a three-time all-Texas Conference first team selection (1947-48, 1948-49 and 1949-50), and finished his career as the school's all-time leading scorer with 1,143 points in 89 games. He was the Texas Conference Most Valuable Player in 1947-48 after leading the the Wildcats to a 17-7 record and the conference title as a sophomore.

Nutt was named to the National Association of Intercollegiate Basketball all-America first team in 1950 after leading ACU to a 13-10 record and the third of what would eventually be four straight Texas Conference championships. The Wildcats were a combined 58-32 in Nutt's four seasons as a player.

After he finished playing for the Wildcats, Nutt played for the Artesia (N.M.) Travelers of the National Industrial Basketball League before he replaced legendary A.B. Morris as the Wildcats' head basketball coach in 1955.

During his first 14 seasons as the Wildcats' coach (1955-69), the Wildcats were 199-156 and won seven conference championships, four in the Texas Conference and three in the Southland Conference. Nutt directed the Wildcats to seven NCAA regional tournament appearances, including in 1965-66 when they won the regional championship and reached the national quarterfinals.

The Wildcats won Texas Conference titles in 1956-57, 1958-59, 1959-60 and 1961-62, and claimed Southland Conference titles in 1964-65, 1965-66 and 1967-68. The three ACU teams from 1963-66 are three of the best in Wildcat men's basketball history, compiling a combined record of 56-25 and three straight appearances in the regional tournament.

The Wildcats won the regional championship in 1965-66 and went on to the NCAA small-college national tournament where they lost 63-62 to a North Dakota squad led by future NBA head coach Phil Jackson. Wray remembers the aftermath of that loss as another teaching moment in Nutt's life.

"After losing that game, Coach Nutt used the post-game locker room talk for affirmation and encouragement of each player," Wray recalled. "He described ways in which he imagined each of us being leaders in our various professions, our congregations, and families. Coach was naturally disappointed with the loss, but he used that occasion ? and most situations ? to help us reflect on what really matters in life."

Nutt resigned in 1969 to become coach of the national team of Mexico for the 1971 Pan American Games in Cali, Columbia, and 1972 Olympic Games in Munich, West Germany. Before returning for another two-year stint as the ACU men's basketball coach in the late 1980s, Nutt served as superintendent and head basketball coach at Abilene Christian High School.

1978 ACHS content with TAPS affiliation, for the present

Abilene Christian High School, at least for the time being, is quite happy with the Texas Assn. of Private Schools (TAPS).

A pair of state basketball titles less than two weeks ago didn't hurt any.

Dee Nutt, the former ACU and Mexican Olympic basketball teams' coach who now directs Abilene Christian School in the capacity of superintendent, has worked to achieve some sort of affiliation for ACHS athletic teams.  TAPS seems to fill most of the bill.

The ideal affiliation in some instances would be the TCIL, once known as the Texas Catholic Interscholastic League, but now broadened to the Texas Christian Interscholastic League.

The TCIL offers all the way what Nutt would like, and that's not only a state organization but a regionalized district.  Two drawbacks preclude that route right now, he said.

One is travel.  The TCIL district in which ACHS would participate would require trips to Amarillo as well as Lubbock and Wichita Falls.  The Amarillo jaunt is pretty remote right now.

Another drawback is the TCIL's transfer rules, which is the same as UIL.  This prevents a boy or girl transfering into a school from participating in organized athletics for a year, unless he or she is a senior.

"Many of our families move regularly," Nutt said.  "and it's really hard to make (the children) ineligible."

Though Nutt likes the way TAPS does things, he won't rule out the TCIL sometime down the road.

"I'm not saying we won't make that move.  We may, even with the transfer rule.  But for now, we'll wait."

Joining TCIL would mean a two-year probationary period when ACHS couldn't participate in state championship meets.

With the girls' and boys' basketball teams sweeping state championships, ACHS will try for track and field titles at Bryan Mat 4-5, and will have a tennis team.

Next fall, the football team will try to make the state tournament in a manner in which the basketball teams employed -- by record.  Most district alignments are concentrated in Dallas-Fort Worth and Houston areas.

Abilene Christian already is set as the site for the state basketball tournaments next February.

TAPS, which has a membership of approximately 36 schools, has volleyball, golf and cross country state championships as well.

1978 MMA Eyes Berth In TAPS Tourney

By Charlie Goslin

Sports Writer

The 1977-78 school year could be the year of champions for the Marine Military Academy of Harlingen.

The Leathernecks, who swpt the 1977 Texas Association of PRivate Schools state football championship, are setting their sights on the TAPS state basketball championship tournament.

MMA basketball coach Ken Green, who has led the team to an enviable 13-0 record, said Wednesday he felt certain they would be invited to the eight-team tournament.

"I called the TAPS people about the tournament today, and it's my personal opinion that we'll get invited," said Green.

The tournament, scheduled Feb. 16-18 at either Lubbock Christian Academy or Fort Worth Christian, will consist of eight teams selected from the 30 currently playing under the TAPS banner.  Selection of the tournament field will be made the first week in February with the teams picked according to won-loss record and difficulty of schedule.

Hugh Seale, president of TAPS and the coordinator of the state tournament, said that any team the caliber of MMA would have to be a definite consideration for the tournament.

"We'll know within the next two weeks whether the (MMA) will go or not," said Seale.  "MMA could just about play .500 ball from here on out and they'd still be invited."

When asked whether any other teams in the TAPS league had undefeated records, Seale said, "Not that I know of.  But I think any team that goes undefeated like MMA, even playing tiddlywink schools, well, they've got to have some talent."

MMA has played a schedule of 10 District 32-2A tems, one independent and one Class-A school, plus a District 28-4A team.

According to Green the toughest competition the Leathernecks have faced this season was Sharyland, which is favored to win the District 32-2A basketball title with a 20-2, 7-0 record.

"If MMA continues plyaing the way they are," said Seale.  "They can be rest assured that they'll be one of the teams going to the tournament."

1978 MMA Won't Play In State Tourney

HARLINGEN, Texas (AP) - In 13 years of athletic competition no one ever complained about Marine Military Academy's use of "preps" - until the Leathernecks recently won the state private school football title.

Now, with the MMA Basketball team having completed a 22-1 season, Texas Association of Private Schools (TAPS) members have forced the 'Necks to stay home during this weekend's state playoffs in Dallas.

The preps are students that completed high school elsewhere and came here to earn credits needed to enter the U.S. Naval Academy.  The basketball team has four preps, according to Coach Ken Green.  The football team had six.

Officials of TAPS, a loose confederation of about 45 private schools, invited MMA to the state playoffs.  But the Harlingen military school would have had to leave its preps - including its top scorer - at home.

"We talked about it but it wouldn't be fair to go up there without them.  They carried us this far," a disappointed Green said.

TAPS spokesman Hugh Seale of Bryan acknowledged that TAPS has no rule barring preps from competition.  In fact, TAPS has no rules at all.

But Seale said no rule was needed.

"It was based on the fact that we wouldn't have had the playoffs.  I'd rather sacrifice one team than the tournament," Seale said.

Rpresentatives from TAPS schools will be in Dallas during the tournament to draft a constitution.  The rules, Seale speculated, will include a ban on prep players and overage athletics.

Mike Beane, athletic director at tournament host Trinity Christian, said complaints about the MMA preps began coming in after the gridiron season.  Trinity Christian dropped a 35-6 football playoff game to the Leathernecks.

"We enjoyed the competition but felt it was unfair for our undergraduates to play them," Beane said.

Green said he understood the rival coaches' concerns.  What he doesn't understand is why no one complained last year when his team compiled an 8-10 record.

Seale thinks he knows why.

"No one will holler at you when you are losing," he said.

Beane said MMA would be replaced in the playoffs by Evangel Temple of Grand Prairie.  Garland Christian, Dallas Christian and Abilene Christian High School also have been invited.

1907 Gridiron Race In San Antonio

Much Interest in the Interscholastic League with the St. Anthony College Team in the Field

Only two weeks remain for the opening of the football championship series of the San Antonio Interscholastic Athletic League, and all of the four teams are down to work for the fray.

Interest in this season's race is centered in the possibilities of the St. Anthony college team, which has been admitted to the league.  This team is an unknown quantity in a league race, although is has played about every team in the leage.

Like the San Antonio Academy team was last season, the St. Anthony players are short on beef, the average weight of the players not being over 140 pounds, but they are a griftty bunch and this goes a long way and sometimes brings unexpected results.

Like last season, the team of Peacock Military School will be composed of excellent football timber and bids fair to be in the thick of the fight for the championship.

The Peacocks' most formidable rivals will probably be the high school squad, which won the championship and the Gazette cup last year.

The fight will likely be between the Peacocks and the high chools, while the San Antonio Academy and the St. Anthony College will have an interesting struggle between themselves as to who will bring up the rear end of the procesion.  These teams will be the lightweights of the league and when they get together some fast work can be looked for.

The fact that the excellent team of the West Texas Military Academy will not be in the league will not interfere with the gridiron work of the boys in gray.  They will be kepy busy fighting for honors with the big uns.  Arrangements are pending for games in the near future with the teams of the University of Texas, the Agriculutural and Mechanical College, Baylor University, St. Edward's College and the University of Tulane.  All of these will be big events and they will be watched with a great deal of interest.

1969 San Antonio Central Catholic alum McCann signs with NY Giants

Big Boy Takes A Giant Step

Tim McCann of Bronxville, a big boy from a big family, hopes to make it big with the New York football Giants this season.

"I'd sure like to make this club," said the 6-5, 256-pound Princeton University graudate during a "meet the draftees-free agents" luncheon staged by the Giants at Leone's Friday afternoon.

"I never gave professional football a thought until I entered Princeton four years ago," stated McCann.  "But ever since then, I've thought about a pro career, particularly one with the New York Giants.  They are wonderful people."

McCann, a first strong defensive tackle for the Tigers for two seasons, isn't quite sure just what position he'd like to play with the Giants.

"Anywhere, as long as it's on the defensive line.  I love defensive football," smiled McCann.

McCann is one of 11 children, eight boys and three girls, who moved to Bronxville from California a few months ago.  "I guess I'm the only member of the family who likes it here," he smiled yesterday.  "My seven brother sure miss California."

Born in Santa Fe, California, Tim graduated from Central Catholic High School in Texas.  In addition to football, he also earned varsity letters as a hammer thrower at Princeton.

A political science major, McCann is one of two Princetonians signed as free agents by the Giants.  The other is 6-3, 225-pound linebacker Richard Sandler of Levittown.

1952 SAL Formation

Top O' Morn, by Buster Haas

Eugene Linse, an ambitious young man who masterminds Concordia's athletic program, both high school and junior college, looked to the future Tuesday and smiled at what he saw.

Linse is president of the Southwest Academic League of Texas, a full-fledged statewide band of private schools, and he was speaking of a subject dear to his heart.

"Within 10 years," Linse said. "I wouldn't be at all surprised to see every private school in the state joined in this conference."

It's a modest endeavor as of now but the league, split by two regions and three districts, blankets the state, if somewhat thinly.

Region 2 is composed of schools from Dallas, Fort Worth, Gainesville and Texarkana, while Region 1 encompasses schools from San Antonio, Taylor, San Marcos and Austin.

Notable, by absence, for the present, are Houston schools, bu Linse has a word for that, too.

"In September I've been invited to appear before a meeting of Houston privte schools to discuss our plans," Linse continued, "and we will offer them a complete district, as San Antonio has, for 1953."

That would increase te districts by one and possibly cause a re-shuffle of regions, Houston and San Antonio schools being in one region, while schools from Central Texas would move over to the other region.

The new league formation has adopted exactly the same rules of the University Interscholastic League, with one exception -- the transfer rule.

But the semester rules, age limit and the rest are included in the league's constitution.

There will be no spring football training and no fall practice until Sept. 1, no basketball practice before Nov. 15, no track practice before Feb. 15, and no baseball workouts before March 15.

Briefly, the new league setuip is almost a carbon copy of the University Interscholastic League.

Even to the same trophies presented UIL champions.

"This gives the private school boys a new incentive," Linse said.  "Having a state champion will really mean something to the boys."

Winners of Districts 1 and 2 will play for the regional championship, the winner to play the Region 2 champion for the state football title on Dec. 5.

The state track and field meet will be Feb. 27-28, and tennis, golf and swimming will be decided in a tournament May 9.

The state baseball tournament will be May 16.

There will be no post-season games, Linse added.

In the event an ambitious school outside the conference questions the state champion, that school will be told to joi up, or to put it bluntly, shut up.

In the event you wonder where Central Catholic's perennially powerful Buttons are, why they are in San Antonio, league orphans.

Cental Catholic won championships in football, basketball and track during the latest seasons with an enrollment of 600 students.

Peacock, for example, has never won any type of athletic contest from the Buttons.

So the league restricts participation to schools with 350 male students or less.

In the case of Concordia, much less.  The little Lutheran school, who always made a good showing against the superior masses of Central Catholic, has a total enrollment of less than 80 students.
