Ohio State chooses new football coach
COLUMBUS, Ohio — Ohio State apparently has settled on a coach Jim Tranuel and the college.
Jim Tressel — and the college
didn't have to travel far to find him. Tresel, who guided Youngstown State to four IAA national championships in 14 seasons, will be
introduced today as the Buckeyes' new coach, according to several media reports. WTVN-AM
and WBNS-TV quoted unidentified sources in the Ohio State athletic department as confirming Tressel's selection, and The Columbus Dispatch's Web site also reported that the 48-year-old Tressel would replace the fired John Cooper.
The Web site also said the Buckeyes were expected to hold a news conference today.
Tressel returned to Youngstown State yesterday, less than 200 miles from Columbus, and told his players of his interest in the Buckeyes.
By late afternoon, Tressel had left and a school representative said he did not know where the coach was headed.
NBA
Camby, Ferry fined suspended for punch
NEW YORK — Knicks center Marcus Camby was suspended for five games and fined $25,000 by the NBA yesterday for trying to sucker punch San Antonio's Danny Ferry.
Ferry, who had poked Camby in the eye, was suspended for one game and fined $7,500.
Camby's wild, roundhouse punch did not strike Ferry because Knicks coach Jeff Van Gundy stepped between them at the last moment.
Camby's outburst occurred after Ferry hit him in the eye while he and Ferry jostled for rebounding position in the fourth quarter of New York's 104-82 victory on Monday.
After being restrained by one referee and speaking with another, Camby dabbed at his eye, saw blood and bolted toward Ferry near the scorer's table.
If Van Gundy hadn't stepped in the way, the punch might have connected and Camby might have faced an even longer suspension.
Keep is averaging 5.3 points and 2.8 rebounds per game.

"We were like 'Gee Whiz, we go ranked,' said Missouri coach Quin Snyder. "I kind of felt this coming. We have a pretty good team, but there is a false sense."
"We had our chances to get back into it," said Colorado coach Ricardo Patton, whose team dropped to 11-6 and 1-3. "I think they were just a better team. They have an NBA-quality point guard leading them, and that makes them extremely tough."
