Stewart assistants won't return
The Associated Press
COLUMBIA, Mo. — Longtime Norm Stewart assistants Kim Anderson and Rich Daly will not have jobs with new coach Quin Snyder at Missouri.
Anderson, who had applied for the head coaching job after Stewart resigned April 1, and Daly each said the news was expected.
"Ithink (athletic director) Mike Alden did what he thought was best," Anderson said. "In no way could I criticize what he did, nor is there any reason to be bitter."
Anderson had been at Missouri for
15 years as a player and a coach. Daly had been Stewart's chief recruiter for 16 years.
"I think they hired the right
Snyder, the top assistant to Mike Krzyzewski at Duke, was named to succeed Stewart on Wednesday.
guy" Daly said. "I really do. I think they did a good job. I do know the players are very, very happy with the guy they hired. They can relate."
Stewart stepped down after 32 years as coach, but will continue as a special assistant to Missouri Chancellor Richard Wallace.
Anderson said he knew that Stewart would resign when the coach asked him to pick him up at the airport March 30.
Anderson and Daly each said they had no immediate plans.
"I knew then what was going on," Anderson said. "I think his mind was pretty much made up. He leaving affected me more emotionally probably than我 not getting the job. To spend that much time with a girl, you get to know him and you get pretty close to him."
Detroit Tigers begin stadium's last season
The Associated Press
DETROIT — There once was an old hay market at the corner of Michigan and Trumbull.
That old hay market gave way to Bennett Park, which opened in 1896. That gave way to Navin Field, which opened in 1912 and later became Briggs Stadium and later Tiger Stadium.
When the Tigers play the Minnesota Twins today, it will mark the last home opener in Tiger Stadium. The team will move a few blocks away to Comerica Park to start the 2002 season.
"Oh, it's going to be awful hard on me, because I've spent every year of my adult life at Briggs Stadium and Tiger Stadium." Hall of Famer A Kaline said.
Ernie Harwell, an announcer who has been broadcasting from the corner since 1960, has been in the radio booth for two World Series championships at the ballpark.
Sparky Anderson came in 1979 and managed the Tigers for the next 16 seasons. With Anderson, the Tigers won two division titles and a World Series championship
The current manager, Larry Parrish, remembers the
night when Sparky — who never once played the outfield — robbed him of a home run. It happened while Parrish, then playing for Texas, was facing Jack Morris.
"Jack threw me a fastball away and I hit it pretty good to right field," Parrish said. "It went out of the ball-park. I ran around the bases."
Then Sparky stepped out of the dugout, arguing the ball went foul before leaving the stadium.
"He actually put the home plate umpire to overrule the first base umpire, and call it a foul ball," Parrish said. "I had to go back up there and hit."
He said that he u caught it, and he was sitting two rows inside the foul pole, in fair territory," Parrish said. "So, Sparky got a home run taken away from me."
The Tigers have played in the World Series nine times, winning four. Detroit also has held three All-Star games, including the one in 1971 in which Reggie Jackson homered into the light tower on the right-field roof.
"There is so much history in that place," Anderson said. "It went all the way back to basically when Cobb played ... Gehrig and Ruth, all of them."
Lakers overlook Rodman's erratic behavior
The Associated Press
INGLEWOOD, Calif. — Dennis Rodman has certainly lived up to his reputation as weird and distracting 20 games into his Los Angeles Lakers career.
It's enough to make Jerry West soirm.
The team wanted his rebounding and defense. But he's done plenty to disrupt, too — arriving late, not showing up at all, taking a leave of absence, refusing to go into games, getting ejected and ripping his teammates for their lack of effort.
During their walk on the wild side, the players are still making excuses for the pierced, tattooed and dyed wonder known as the Worm.
In one of city's worst-kept secrets, the team's executive vice president — and classiest Laker of all — did not want the seven-time NBA rebounding champion, but freewheeling owner Jerry Buss insisted.
"He hasn't been negative that much," said Shaquille O'Neal, who openly campaigned to get Rodman. "The stuff that he does or did, we all knew it was coming and we all
were prepared for it."
Well, maybe not for all of Rodman's antics. He put the Lakers on hold for three weeks before signing, angering part-owner Magic
Johnson, who spoke for many when he said,
"He's driving me crazy."
Rodman disappeared two weeks after joining the Lakers, missing four games while he contemplated his basketball future and gambled in Las Vegas.
Rodman: Lakers are 17-4 with him in lineup.
He got paid during the absence,
but said he was fined $100 a day for
delaying his return.
What have the Lakers gotten in return? A 17-4 record with him in the lineup and 11.6 rebounds in 29 minutes a game. Without Rodman, they are 8-9 and the rebounding falls to O'Neal.
"I play basketball and I understand the game," said Rodman.
That is why his teammates excuse him.
"A lot of guys in the league and coaches say things about him, but they'd all kill to have a guy as dedicated as Dennis," forward J.R. Reid said. "He brings a lot to our team."
Certainly not camaraderie.
Rodman dresses — itself a fascinating adventure — separately from his teammates and doesn't talk to them much. When he's not in the game, he's rarely on the bench. Instead, he rides an exercise bike to stay loose.
The fans don't seem to mind. "Rodman Rules" and "Dennis the Menace" were signs held up at the Forum recently. His name is welcomed as loudly as that of O'Neal or Kobe Brant during introductions.
Twice, Rodman has refused coach Kurt Rambis' requests to enter games, saying he had been out too long and his muscles were tight. He wasn't punished.
Rodman's fourth-quarter ejection after a second technical foul against Golden State April 3 was cheered, even though the Lakers trailed by four at the time and lost by five.
