It was in this mornings Wisconsin State Journal.  It says 'Guentzel
said Monday he will remain as an assistant coach at the University of
Minnesota in hopes that some day he could be head coach there.'
 
It goes on to say that Serratore was a former Omaha Lancers coach and Kemp
was in Omaha to interview Tuesday and all three were to complete interviews
with the search committee by today.  Guentzel was a Lancers coach at one
time also.  Athletic director Don Leahy said a coach could be named as early
as Thursday for the new NCAA Division I program that will start for the
1997-98 season.
