Hasse is a detriment
Kansas should find new shooting guard
All season long I have been waiting for the poor shooting and terrible decision making of Jerod Hasse to cost the Jayhawks a victory. The loss to Syracuse was just one example of how overrated he is as a basketball player. He only hits about 29% of his three pointers, does not know when to pass and can't
run a fast break to save his life. I hope that for next season we have a new shooting guard coming in to replace Hasse in the starting lineup. The great players such as Jacque Vaughn and Rael LaFrentz don't deserve to have someone like Hasse coming in and contributing big to losses.

Chiefs tackle free agents
Team's roster will look familiar to fans
The Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — With the exception of the kicker who went zero for three in the playoff loss, the 1996 Kansas City Chiefs may look a lot like the 1995 bunch.
On Tuesday, linebacker Tracy Rogers became the seventh veteran free agent to re-sign with the AFC West champions, who led the NFL with 13 regular season wins. Altogether, the Chiefs have 43 of last year's 53 active-roster players under contract, and are confident of resigning running back Marcus Allen and defensive back Dale Carter.
After the Chiefs lost to Indianapolis by three points in the playoffs, Allen said he might not be back for a 15th season. But the future Hall-of-Fame back has since indicated he would
like to play one more year.
"I had conversations with he and his agent as recent as last night," Peterson said. "I'm hopeful we will consummate that, and basically, the 1996 Kansas City Chiefs will be pretty much the same team as 1995."
Already re-signed were Pro Bowl fullback Kimble Anders, backup quarterback Rich Gannon, defensive back Martin Bayless, cornerback Darren Anderson, defensive end Pellom McDaniels and linebacker Greg Manusky.
The Chiefs to this point have lost two free agents — Willie Davis and Darren Mickel.
The Chiefs have first refusal rights on Carter, their best defensive back.
"We are negotiating with Dale and his agent now," Peterson said. "Dale has not received an offer sheet from any other team. I'm anticipating Dale will be with us for a number of years if we can come up with a multi-year contract."
Heavyweight champ accused of battery
Tyson faces an accusation of sexual battery after year of probation on rape charge
The Associated Press
CHICAGO — Mike Tyson, still on probation 13 months after serving three years in prison for rape, has been accused by an Indiana woman of sexual battery in a Chicago nightclub.
A club manager said Tuesday, however, that the heavyweight champion was never alone with the woman Sunday night, when the alleged incident occurred.
Chicago police are investigating the allegations against the World Boxing Council champion, who has not been charged.
"We'll investigate it and do what we expeditiously and professionally and see what we come up with," Chicago police spokesman Paul Jenkins said.
Tyson, once the undisputed world heavyweight champion, was released from an Indiana prison in March 1995. He is serving four years of probation.
The 25-year-old Indiana woman accused Tyson of "sexual battery" after an incident Sunday night at The Clique, a South Side nightclub, said her lawyer, Jerry Lee Peteet of Garv. Ind.
Jenkins said there is no charge known as "sexual battery" in Illinois. Peteet said he was referring to the accusation by its Indiana term and said he believed the comparable Illinois offense would be sexual assault.
Peteet said the woman went to the club with friends and had never met Tyson before. He said she was treated at a Chicago-area hospital after the incident, released early Monday and told to see a doctor this week.
He would not identify the woman except to say she was a Gary beautician and co-owner of a business. He would not say which hospital treated her, and he would not specify what the woman claims Tyson did.
The woman called police on Monday and then followed up by filing a complaint at a police station Tuesday, Peteet said.
Peteet plans to pursue a criminal and civil case. "She's scared, upset, angry, hurt."
A security guard who answered the phone Tuesday night at Tyson's residence in Southington, Ohio, said there would be no comment from the boxer.
Mike Tvson
Chicago radio station WBBM-AM reported that Moody Andrews, a manager at The Clique, said Tyson did not harm the woman.
"She was never alone with Mike," Andrews said. "She was in an open space with Mike. Mike had two security guards that he didn't hire — that we hired to protect and watch over him."
Andrews declined to elaborate when contacted by The Associated Press.
Muhammad Siddeeq, a spiritual adviser to Tyson while the boxer was in prison, said he had heard nothing about the allegation.
"I know one thing. Every time Mike turns or moves there's people out there who want to do their thing." Siddeeq said.
In 1986, at age 20, Tyson became the youngest heavyweight champion ever. He regained the WBC heavyweight title last month with a third-round victory against Frank Bruno.
His next bout is likely to be against WBA champion Bruce Seldon on July 13 in Las Vegas. A victory would leave Tyson needing only the International Boxing Federation crown to regain the undisputed heavyweight title.
Tyson was convicted in 1992 of raping Desiree Washington, a college student from Coventry, R.I., who was competing in the Miss Black America pageant. Tyson contends she consented to sex.
Tyson's police record dates back to 1978, when he was picked up for pursue snatching at age 12. He later discovered boxing in reform school.
NBA to help women play
Women's professional league gets an assist from commissioner
The Associated Press
"If we get involved, we would get involved in a substantial way," Stern said.
PARIS — The NBA took a step closer to involvement in a potential professional women's basketball league yesterday when commissioner David Stern said it would examine whether the time was right to give the league another chance.
"We are going to air thoroughly the issue of a professional women's basketball league and see whether there exists the right circumstances for its launching," said Stern.
Stern is in Paris for the European Final Four of men's club champions.
"Women's basketball in the United States is not as advanced as it is in Europe in support," Stern said.
"This is a subject that deserves a great deal of attention because it will bring numerous people to basketball and we encourage growth in our sport."
Stern said he had no qualms about the NBA being involved, even though a try at a national women's league failed some years ago.
"We obviously don't feel it's a bad risk at all," Stern said.
"There has been a level of participation that previously didn't exist in women's sports. Circumstances have changed."
