Women hoopsters land prep, juco recruits
Kansas women's basketball coach Marian Washington announced yesterday that Shanell Law, a 5-foot-9 guard from Los Angeles, has signed with the Jahlawks.
Law averaged 26 points, eight rebounds, four assists and four steals while at Washington Prep High School last season. Law was named the league's co-MVP and was named All-City and All-Southern California.
"I am happy to have Shannon become a Jawahar," Washington said. "She is an outstanding young athlete and player and has exceptional shooting skills."
Law is the third recruit for the Jayhawks, joining junior college transfers forward Dalcon Brown from Independence Community College and guard/forward Femenda Bosi from Western Nebraska Junior College.

Volleyball assistant takes youth program position
Kansas assistant volleyball coach Jan Madlock resigned to accept a position with the Kansas Youth Advocate Program, school officials announced yesterday.
Madlock, who served four years at Kansas assisting former coach Karen Schonewise and current coach Ray Bechard, will serve as a house parent to four teenagers who are currently in foster care or detention. Her primary role will be to assist the teenagers in all aspects of their lives as they prepare for more independent living.
"I had a great experience at Kansas, Madlock said. "It's always difficult to leave a place where I will leave such great memories behind, but this was the right opportunity for me."
Madlock came to Kansas from Iowa, where she served as an assistant coach for a year and a half. Prior to her stint with the Hawkeyes, Madlock was an assistant at her alma mater, Illinois State. As a standout player at Illinois State, Madlock helped lead the team to three conference championships.
"We wish her well, yet she will certainly be missed," Beard said. "We appreciate the tremendous effort that she put forth during her tenure here."

Reed's allegation that Knight choked him during a 1997 practice. The videotape obtained by CNN/SI, and first aired Tuesday night, shows Knight grab bing a player by the neck, pushing him backward. The player's head appeared to snap backward.
Reed, who left Indiana in 1997, said he is the player on the videotape after watching it for the first time Tuesday.
Indiana president Myles Brand last month appointed John D. Walda, the president of the board of trustees, and Frederick F. Eichhorn, a trustee and former president of the Indiana State Bar Association, to investigate whether Knight physically abused team members.
The two flew to Atlanta on Tuesday to view the tape.
Connecticut star named top collegiate woman
NEW YORK — Shea Ralph, the most valuable player of the NCAA women's Final Four after leading Connecticut to the title, has been chosen the top woman collegiate basketball player for the 1999-2000 season.
Her selection was the result of balloting among NCAA member schools. Ralph had 15 points, seven assists, six steals and one blocked shot in the Huskies' title game victory against Tennessee. During the season, she averaged 14.3 points per game and led the team in assists 19 times and in rebounding 15 times.

Ripken completes deal to own basketball team
BALTIMORE—Cal Ripken Jr. now is the sole owner of a professional basketball team.
The first-year International Basketball League said yesterday that the Baltimore Orioles' third baseman had purchased the final 90 percent of the Baltimore BayRunners. Ripken bought 10 percent of the team in October.

The BayRunners have the worst record (13-40) in the eight team league and now the most recognizable owner.
