Sharman faces Utah restraining order in Lakers bid
Utah Stars coach Bill Sharman seeks Lakers job after guiding the Stars to an ABA title. Stars obtain a temporary restraining order and file a $5 million suit over his signing with Los Angeles, while Lakers GM Fred Schaus says Sharman is their top candidate if freed from the Stars contract. Lakers officials say Sharman would need to terminate the Utah deal, which the Stars dispute as valid despite owner Bill Daniels’s prior moves. Baylor UCLA coach John Wooden and Red Auerbach were also linked to the job.
