Owens Quits as Oral Roberts Basketball Coach

Oral Roberts basketball Coach Ted Owens announced his resignation Thursday.

Owens was in his second season with the Oral Roberts but was under pressure since March when evangelists Oral and Richard Roberts brought back former coach Ken Trickey.

Sources say Trickey will likely be appointed coach. He was 118-23 from 1969-1974 with Oral Roberts, while Owens was 21-35 at Oral Roberts.
