They've got me really excited about the job." Hammel inherits a team that went 25-6 last season and earned a berth in the NCAA Tournament. But the Huskies will lose five key seniors for next season.

He was head coach for six years at his alma mater, Division II Bentley College in Waltham, where he was 91-70. Then he became an assistant for seven years under George Raveling, the first two years at Iowa and the last five at USC. He has been Raveling's top assistant the past two years. Raveling said Hammel "brings a wealth of experience to the NIU program. I'm happy as heck for him and, selfishly, sad for USC." Hammel, who played for the Milwaukee Bucks in 1976, is known for his tireless energy.

He ran in the Boston Marathon 1986. Huskies hire Brian Hammel DEKALB, 111. (AP) When Northern Illinois University's basketball team hits the court next season, Brian Hammel an assistant coach at the University of Southern California will be coaching from the sidelines. "I just think it's a tremendous opportunity to turn my dreams into reality and build on the foundation (former NIU head coach) Jim Molinari built here," Hammel said Tuesday. Hammel, 38, replaces Molinari, who resigned April 12 to become coach at Bradley University, Gerald O'Dell, NIU's athletic director, announced Tuesday.

"NIU is a growing institution with a growing basketball program," Hammel said.

I top 20 KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) The With Bird needs to By Sam Goldaper N.Y. TIMES NEWS SERVICE BOSTON On Dec. 15, 1988, needing to pick up a player because Larry Bird had undergone surgery on both of his feet, the Boston Celtics made what for them was an unusual move.

Unable to find a high-profile player who would step right in and take up the slack, they settled on a free agent, Kevin Gamble. "At the time, I really don't know if we knew what we were Gamble doing," Boston's General Manager Jan Volk said before Game 1 of the Celtics' four-of-seven-game Eastern Conference semifinal playoff series against the Detroit Pistons Tuesday night. "We knew he was a big guard who could score and was comfortable going to the basket. But we didn't know what to expect." Tuesday night, Gamble knew he would again have to be a major contributor because one hour before game time the Celtics learned that Bird would miss Game 1 because of back spasms. The 6-foot-5-inch Gamble, out of Iowa, was Portland's third-round draft choice in 1987 and had played a total of 1 8 minutes in nine games for the Trail Blazers before being cut.

The Philippines and the Quad-City Thunder of the Continental Basketball Association had been his other stops before donning the Celtic green. "I heard that several teams were interested in me," Gamble said Tuesday, looking back. "But when I heard it was the Celtics my eyes lit up." In his first two seasons with Boston, Gamble, playing limited stints as Dennis Johnson's backup at shooting guard, averaged only 4.3 points a game in 1988- 89 and 5.1 points in 1989- 90. "It was very hard on your confidence," the 25-year-old Gamble said. "There were times 4' -v CS i 1 I -vff mm if- 1 GOLF MONEY LEADERS Seniors PONTE VEDRA, Flo.

Assuming he would be positioned at big guard, Gamble took his seat on the Celtic bench next to Brian Shaw, the starting point guard, for the introductions. "After Brian went out," Gamble said, "when I heard the announcer say, 'Starting at I started running out to the floor. Then I heard Reggie Lewis's name called and I stopped. I was the forward. It was kind of embarrassing." In his first NBA start, Gamble scored 26 points and handed out 9 assists in 26 minutes.

He hasn't been out of the Celtics' starting lineup since. nba playoffs Trail Blazers 117, Jazz 97 PORTLAND, Ore. Clyde Drexler ignited a 24-5 second-half surge and Portland held Utah without a field goal for nearly seven minutes in a victory over the Jazz in their second-round playoff opener. Drexler had 20 points and a playoff career-high 15 rebounds as the Trail Blazers beat the Jazz for the fourth time in five tries this season. Terry Porter scored 19 points and Jerome Kersey had 17 points and 13 rebounds for Portland.

John Stockton had 23 points and 16 assists for Utah. Karl Ma-lone added 21 points and 16 rebounds, but scored only four in the second half and was 0-for-10 from the field in the third quarter. Portland extended a two-point lead to 92-71 with the 24-5 run that began after Drexler was slammed to the floor on a drive to the basket, but no foul was called. While Drexler was lying on the floor, Blue Edwards scored to cut Portland's lead to 68-66 with 5'j minutes left in the third quarter. Drexler stayed in the game and scored six of the next 10 Blazers points.

Portland stretched the lead to 82-69 after three quarters and capped the run with Walter Davis' 18-footer that made it 92-71 with 9'j minutes left.

But this season, with Chris Ford having replaced Jimmy Rodgers as coach, Gamble's fortunes changed, and the Celtics finally benefited from the chance they took in 1988. During the regular season, Gamble averaged 15.8 points a game and shot 59 percent from the field, third best in the National Basketball Association. Early in the season, looking for a fifth starter so that he could bring Kevin McHale off the bench as the sixth man, Ford, after trying out Michael Smith and Ed Pinckney, settled on Gamble but not in the backcourt. On Nov.

Lemieux set up Bob Errey's game-opening goal midway through the first period, then scored the clincher halfway through the third period. Boston, losing its second in a row in Pittsburgh, drew within 2-1 at 8:38 of the third period on Dave Christian's eighth playoff goal, but Lemieux scored less than two minutes later to short-circuit the comeback. Mark Recchi circled the net and fed Lemieux, who jammed the puck past Moog at 10:23 to restore Pittsburgh's two-goal lead. Kevin Stevens added a power-play goal with 2:38 remaining, the Penguins' first in their last 11 power-play chances.
