Hornets' move to New Orleans approved by the NBA committee
NEW ORLEANS — The Charlotte Hornets' proposed move to New Orleans was unanimously supported by the NBA's Relocation Committee yesterday.
The Associated Press
Owners of the league's 29 teams will decide May 10 whether the team can move, with 15 votes needed for final approval.
The recommendation, announced in New York, came as Hornets officials in New Orleans reached an agreement in principle with state officials on a 10-year contract for the NBA team to play in the New Orleans Arena.
The arena was built next to the Louisiana Superdome in the 1990s in hopes of attracting an NBA team.
The Hornets, losing money and fans in Charlotte, would be the NBA's second team to relocate in two years after the league had gone 16 seasons without a move. The Grizzlies moved from Vancouver to Memphis last year.
Charlotte beat the Orlando Magic 102-85 Tuesday night to reach the second round of the playoffs
The Hornets led the league in attendance a decade ago,but the relationship among the fans,the owners and local politicians soured to such a degree that the team was last in the NBA in attendance this season.
and will play the New Jersey Nets or Indiana Pacers next.
The Hornets were offered a lucrative package by Louisiana.
"The support shown by the fans, civic leaders and the business community in the city of New Orleans and the state of Louisiana has been quite impressive," committee chairman and Phoenix Suns owner Jerry Colangelo said.
"We think the Hornets have laid the necessary groundwork for the successful operation of the team in New Orleans."
The team lost $15 million in Charlotte last season and could lose $20 million this season, Hornets owner Ray Woolridge said.
"We did everything we could do in Charlotte to remain there," he said last month. "The leadership of Charlotte did not do what was necessary for us to be able to stay there."
Coach resigns after resumé error
The Associated Press
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Tom Collen declined the offer to become the women's basketball coach at Vanderbilt yesterday, less than 24 hours after accepting the job, because of questions concerning his education.
"Although I am certainly devastated by what has happened, I walk away from the opportunity at Vanderbilt knowing that the discrepancy on my resumé submitted to Colorado State in 1997 was an honest mistake and not one of deception," Collen said in a statement.
Collen's biography in the Colorado State media guide listed him with two master's degrees from Miami of Ohio.
Vanderbilt had been set to announce Collen as coach on Monday, until they checked his academic credentials and found that he one master's
Collen sent copies of his transcripts and diplomas by fax to Vanderbilt officials, and his resume correctly showed he had one master's degree. He said Colorado State misunderstood his credentials when he filled out a questionnaire for the sports information department.
degree with a dual major.
Vanderbilt Athletics Director Todd Turner said Vanderbilt felt comfortable with Collen once the information was verified, and on Wednesday announced him as the new coach.
Collen sent Turner a letter yesterday turning down the job.
"I have great respect for the character and integrity of Vanderbilt University and would not want my presence to detract from that in any way. Please know how deeply I regret the misunderstanding that has occurred and any embarrassment this may have caused to you," Collen wrote.
Mighty Ducks' coach earns upgrade
The Associated Press
ANAHEIM, Calif.—Bryan Murray stepped down as coach of the Anaheim Mighty Ducks yesterday to become the team's senior vice president and general manager.
He replaces Pierre Gauthier, who was fired as GM on April 19.
The Mighty Ducks will begin a search for a new coach immediately.

ager from 1994-01, and coached the team during the 1997-98 season. After joining the Panthers in August 1994, he put together a team that made the Stanley Cup finals in just its third year in the NHL.
Murray was the Florida Panthers' general man-
He was Detroit's GM from 1990-94, and served as the Red Wings' coach for his first three seasons with the team. Taking over a Detroit team that went 28-34-14 the previous season, he helped the Red Wings go 170-121-37 during his four years as the GM, with the club making the playoffs each of the four seasons
Gauthier was in charge of both the business and hockey sides of the Mighty Ducks.
The team's owner, The Walt Disney Co., recently hired Douglas Moss as a senior vice president responsible for the Mighty Ducks' business operations.

BASEBALL Lou Gehrig's speech to be recited at games
NEW YORK—Lou Gehrig's famous farewell speech, in which he called himself "the luckiest man on the face of the earth," will be repeated by celebrities in 15 major league parks before games on June 1.
The unique promotion was created by major league baseball and Project ALS to call attention to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, the disease that took the Hall of Fame baseball player's life and now is commonly known as "Lou Gehrig's disease."
Genrig took himself out of the Yankees lineup 63 years ago yesterday, ending his consecutive games streak at 2,130,and delivered his speech July 4. He died on June 2, 1941.
In ceremonies before games on June 1, James Gandolfini of "The Sopranos" will recite the speech at Yankee Stadium, Luke Perry of "Beverly Hills 90210" fame will do it at Cincinnati, actor Billy Baldwin at Texas, and former "ER" star Julianna Margulies at Baltimore. Other participants will be announced later.
The celebrities signed on to support theater producer Jennifer Estess, who launched Project ALS after she was diagnosed with the disease five years ago.
CYCLING Former Tour de France champ unsuccessful
PARIS — Former champion Marco Pantani and 12-time stage winner Mario Cipollini failed to win wild-card places in the Tour de France yesterday.
Race officials handed out the five remaining spots in the 2002 race to four French teams and one Italian team.
The wild cards in the July 6 to 28 race were given to Italy's Saeco and French squads Bonjour, Credit Agricole, La Franceais des Jeux and AG2R Prevoyance.
Tour organizers had already named 16 squads, including Lance Armstrong's U.S. Postal Service team, based on results for the 2001 season.
Pantani, the 1988 Tour champion, was left out of the Tour for the second straight year. Pantani's Mercatone Uno team is ranked 30th in the UCI's world standings.
Tour director Jean-Marie Leblanc said that Pantani and his team might be given a place in the Tour if the rider performs well at this year's Giro d'Italia, which begins May 11.
"If Marco Pantani reappears at the top level, for example in the Giro, we will look at the situation," Leblanc said.
Leblanc also said Cipollini's Acqua e Sapone team was a top contender for the place that went to AG2R, but was left out because the Italian star "had indicated a preference for the Giro and the Tour of Spain."
Cipollini won the Milan-San Remo race earlier this year and is fourth in the World Cup standings.
The 2002 tour starts in Luxembourg and takes riders through Germany, northern France, the Pyrenees mountains, the southeastern Provence region and the Alps.
The race finishes with the traditional ride down the Champs-Elysees in Paris.
