From the Dallas Morning News.

3/6 Bob Weiss, Clipper coach, after the loss to Houston: "Except
for offense, defense, rebounding, and turnovers, we had a good
game."

3/9 While admitting that officials made a mistake, NBA
commissioner David Stern turned down a protest files by Charlotte
last month following a 105-101 overtime loss to Cleveland.  Stern
acknowledged that officials misapplied "the away-from-the-play"
foul rule in the closing seconds but said the mistake didn't have
a clear impact on the outcome.
     The mistake occurred after Bobby Phills (Cle) was fouled by
Muggsy Bogues (Cha) with 6.4 seconds left in the game played
February 20.  The foul should have resulted in one free throw for
Cleveland plus possession of the ball.  The Cavs should have been
allowed to select any of their players on the floor to shoot the
free throw.  Instead, the officials gave Cleveland two free
throws and directed Phills to shoot.  He missed the first shot,
then made the second to put Cleveland ahead by 3 points. 
Cleveland then inbounded the ball and John Williams (Cle) was
fouled with 5.2 seconds left.  Williams made one of two free
throws to give Cleveland a 105-101 lead.

3/12 The LA Lakers extended coach Randy Pfund's contract by one
year, through the 1995-96 season.  However, it is uncertain
whether Pfund will continue as coach or obtain some other role
with the team.  Owner Jerry Buss said, "I consider Randy a Laker
person, and I want to offer him another year of service in some
capacity."

3/16 TNT signed Hubie Brown to a new 4 year contract and are
trying to do the same with Doug Collins.

3/20 Dale Ellis (SA) became the first player to ever make 1,000
3-pointers by making two 3-pointers in last night's game against
Sacramento.

3/20 Scott Skiles (Orl) after a loss to Chicago in which
Shaquille O'Neal and Anfernee Hardaway combined for 14 turnovers:
"We can't handle the pressure.  We haven't handled the pressure
all season.  We want to win big games, but we don't play well. 
We're soft.  We play like we have skirts on."

3/20 Manute Bol (Phi), who is on a 10-day contract with
Philadelphia and had been on Philadelphia's roster earlier in the
season, on the teams effort: "We were losing before, but not like
this.  Now, we have two or three guys trying hard, but not the
others."

3/20 Dan Majerle (Pho) on the Indiana Pacers' poor free throw
shooting and their second chance shots (they went 32-48 FT and
had 27 second chance points in the Pho-Ind game) : "They shoot
them so bad, sometimes you can't tell where they're going."

3/20 Chicago coach Phil Jackson needs to be a little more
specific.  Jackson wanted to insert Bill Wennington into the
first quarter of the Orlando game last week, but ended up with
Bill Cartwright.  "I called Bill and they're both named Bill, so
before I knew it, Cartwright was in the game.  I didn't want him
in the game," said Jackson.  Cartwright, who was activated from
IR earlier in the day, played just two minutes and didn't return.
