LDS Basketball player part of UC Irvine's plans this year (Irvine Ready to Make Big Statement)
Los Angeles Times 25Oct99 S2
By Chris Foster

Coming off a 6-20 season last year, UC Irvine's basketball program has gotten a big boost with the addition of two big men to shore up their center. One of the two is LDS player Greg Ethington, a 6-8 freshman from Arizona. Ethington averaged 14 points and nine rebounds at Gilbert High last year.

Ethington had originally signed with Pepperdine, but switched when Pepperdine coach Lorenzo Romar left the school. Irvine Coach Pat Douglass is pleased to have Ethington, even if it is only for one year. Ethington plans to serve an LDS mission, and hasn't decided if he will return to Irvine or not. "We will actively recruit him while he is here," said coach Douglass.
