DON McDERMOTT / PVT The Main Event, one of several basketball tournaments being contested in Greater Las Vegas-area gymnasiums, drew coaches from almost every college and university in the nation, inlcuding this group watching the Main Event at Durango High School Sunday. Matt Doherty (blue shirt, red shorts) takes notes; he is the head coach at Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas, after working previously at Notre Dame, North Carolina and Florida Atlantic. The kid drinking the soda is not a coach; he is one of the ball boys. For instance, the Main Event was played at 13 high school, community and sports complex gyms; at the same time, the Big Time and adidas Super 64 tournaments were being contested at numerous other locations throughout the Las Vegas valley. Downtown, Team USA workouts were going on at the Cox Pavilion, under the supervision of Jerry Colangelo, managing director for USA basketball. A complete report on basketball in Las Vegas will be published in the Friday Times.
