Williams said Wednesday that there is no timetable to fill what would be two openings on his staff. First-year assistant Mike Lonergan already was named Vermont's new head coach. He replaced Tom Brennan, who retired after the season.
• CYCLING: A former personal assistant to Lance Armstrong filed court papers in Austin yesterday alleging that he discovered a banned substance in the six-time Tour de France winner's apartment early last year.
Mike Anderson, who is involved in a legal fight with Armstrong over alleged promises the cyclist made to help Anderson start a bike shop, made the claim in a brief filed in state district court. The brief does not say whether Anderson saw Armstrong take any banned substances.
Armstrong's attorney, Timothy Herman, called the allegation false and "absurd."
Anderson, who says he had a key to Armstrong's apartment in Girona, Spain, alleges he was cleaning the bathroom in "early 2004" when he found a white box labeled "like any other prescription drug" but that it did not have a doctor's prescription attached.
Written on the box was the trademark name "Androstenine, or something very close to this," Anderson said.
"He went to the computer, looked it up on the WADA or USADA Web site(s), and confirmed that what he had found was an androgen, a listed banned substance," Anderson's court brief states.
