UNO basketball coach Tommy Joe Eagles died from an enlarged
heart, probably the result of a virus, said K.D. Kilpatrick of
Kilpatrick Funeral Home in Ruston.

An autopsy was performed Sunday in Salt Lake City.

Eagles, hired by UNO on May 31, collapsed Saturday at the Salt
Lake City Community College. Eagles was visiting his former
college coach, Scotty Robertson, and three players whom Eagles
coached.

Funeral services will be held at 3 p.m. Tuesday at Temple
Baptist Church in Ruston. Visitation will be from 3-9 p.m. today
and from 8 a.m.-1 p.m. Tuesday at Kilpatrick Funeral Home.

Meanwhile, UNO athletic director Ron Maestri said he won't begin
thinking about Eagles' replacement until later this week.
