North Carolina State basketball coach Jim Valvano's status is unlikely to be resolved until next week, despite pressure from trustees for quick action.
The N.C. State Board of Trustees voted 9-3 this week to sever ties with the coach.But while Bill Burns, vice-chairman of the trustees, said he had hoped for a resolution this week, negotiators said that was extremely unlikely.
"At this point we see nothing imminent to comment on," said Alan Sanders, a colleague of Valvano's agent, Art Kaminsky. "Art will have no comment until further notice."
Asked how long it might be until negotiators have something to announced, Sanders said, "At least a number of days."
Kaminsky said via telephone from New York that he has retained Woody Webb, a former deputy attorney general, as co-counsel.
