During her tenure, Boyd has gone out to lunch with recruits, helped her teammates get in some extra shots and offered to do anything to improve the team. Henrickson understands and truly appreciates everything that Boyd has done in building the program.

"She's going to do a lot of special things in her life, just by how she's handled herself here," Henrickson said. "And what hasn't been easy, she's watched young kids come in and play in front of her, she's always helped tutor those kids and help mentor those kids and I will always have great respect for that."

Boyd admits that the end doesn't quite feel real and that her four years have flown by and dragged on at the same time. Still, the 2004 Iowa Miss Basketball doesn't have any regrets.

"I've had a good run and there's probably not much I'd change," Boyd said. "I just want everyone to know, my team-mates, my coaches and the fans, how much they all mean to me."
been a role model on the court and in the classroom for the last four years.
"The word on the street was she wasn't going to work hard and she wasn't going to compete," Henrickson said. "I tell her I don't know who was trying to pay off, but we've never had that. She has always busted her tail to do things right."
McIntosh said she hasn't really thought about life after basketball, but said it will definitely be "weird" to not be around her teammates every day. She will graduate this spring as a prepharmacy major and hopes to begin working towards a graduate degree next fall upon acceptance into pharmacy school.
McIntosh said she hopes to end her career in Allen Fieldhouse with a win over the Jayhawk's in-state rivals, but regardless of the result she doesn't have any regrets about her decision to come to Lawrence four years ago.
"I was recruited by a couple other schools but once I got recruited by KU it was like 'I have to go there,'" McIntosh said.

Hawpe signs contract with Rockies
ASSOCIATED PRESS
TUCSON, Ariz. — Brad Hawpe and Colorado agreed Tuesday to a $17,425,000, three-year contract, making the right fielder the fourth key Rockies player to receive a long-term deal after the team's first World Series appearance last October.
The deal, which includes a club option for 2011, replaces the $3,925,000, one-year contract that had been agreed to in January.
The 28-year-old Hawpe hit.291
"I think the Rockies have made a good commitment to the players and I think the players have worked hard to build up the franchise," Hawpe said. "I think there's a good thing going on here, not just the players and the front office, but everyone involved all the way through the minor league system."
last year with 29 homers and 116RBIs. He slumped against left-handed pitching for much of the summer, giving Ryan Spilborghs more playing time, although he finished strong against lefties down the stretch.
Hawpe hit .377 with runners in scoring position with two outs. He went 9-for-20 with the bases loaded, including his first career grand slam.
Colorado also recently agreed to long-term deals with right-hander Aaron Cook ($34.5 million over four years), shortstop Troy Tulowitzki ($31 million over six years) and closer Manny Corpas ($8,025,000 over four years).
Left fielder Matt Holliday agreed to a $23 million, two-year deal, covering his arbitration eligibility. The next candidate for a multiyear deal could be third baseman Garrett Atkins.

Golfers complain about slow Tour play
ASSOCIATED PRESS
PALM HARBOR, Fla. — Complaints about slow play on the PGA Tour have been around forever, which is about how long it has been since anyone was given a one-stroke penalty for taking too long to hit a shot.
KU Independent Study
"It was in Dallas," Dillard Prutt said Tuesday. "For two bad times in a round, I got a one-stroke penalty, a $1,000 fine and I had to play in the last group the next two weeks as long as it wasn't an invitational. That one stroke cost me $9,600 official money. The fact I can still remember that tells you something."

The policy hasn't changed much over the years.
Once a group falls out of position and is put on the clock, the first player to hit is allowed 60 seconds; the others get 40 seconds. There is no penalty for the first bad time. The second bad time carries a one-stroke penalty, the third offense is a two-stroke penalty, and a fourth bad time is disqualification.
Actually, it was 16 years ago at the Byron Nelson Classic. And the victim of that one-stroke penalty is now a rules official who carries a stop watch.
As slow as it can get on the PGA Tour, why has no one been assessed a one-stroke penalty in 16 years?
"We're more intelligent than people think we are," the ever-sarcastic Paul Goydos said.

compared this to a state trooper who pulls over a motorist for going 100 mph. Instead of writing a ticket, the trooper says he will follow the driver for the next five miles to make sure he doesn't speed.
Tiger Woods was the latest to gripe about the pace of play. Given his stature in golf, his complaint figures to be the loudest.
In his monthly newsletter, Woods talked about his victory in the Accenture Match Play Championship, seeing his new sports drink on grocery shelves and having Van Halen play at his benefit concert this year. Then out of the blue came this.
"You have to be crazy to get two bad times," chief rules official Mark Russell said. "People don't get one bad time."
In the meantime, the tortoise is transforming into a snail.
"Before I go," he wrote, "I would like to talk about slow play. It's been an ongoing problem on the PGA Tour for a long time. I honestly believe the pace of play is faster in Europe and Japan. It has been suggested offenders be penalized with strokes. The problem is, you may get one guy that slows down a group for playing at a snail's pace and gets them all put on the clock, which isn't
fair. I know this is a complicated issue. Hopefully, it can be addressed in the near future."
"People play way,way too slow" he said.
Adam Scott was a little more succinct.
Maybe it's just a coincidence, but Woods' comment came a week after the Match Play, where he played J.B. Holmes in the first round. Holmes already has a reputation as among the tortoises on tour, although not quite to the level of Ben Crane.
He visualizes each shot. He makes quick, repeating practice strokes with every club.
"A lot of old habits kick in when you're under pressure," Holmes said. "You're playing for $1 million. If somebody thinks I'm slow, or taking long, I don't care. Personally, I don't want to take that long. I'm working on that. I would rather be slow and win than rush something, hit a bad shot and not win."
And he makes few apologies.
One of the legends about Ben Hogan is the time a U.S. Open rules official warned him for slow play.
"If you're going to penalize me, do it now so I know where I stand." Hogan replied. "I'm not playing any faster."
