Ragers to get free basketball tickets
|
Entering his third season at Michigan, basketball coach Tommy Amaker continues to embrace the student body. After an anonymous gift to the basketball program, the coach announced yesterday that he would give student season ticket holders a chance to renew their tickets at no charge. Last season's Maize Ragers have until Sept. 30 to claim their free seats.
The donor's name and the amount of the gift have not been released.
"Our students are a critical part of our program," Amaker said. "We cannot reach our goals without their support and spirit. We wanted to extend to our entire 'Maize Rage' section an opportunity to support us without any cost to them. Through this generous donation, we are thrilled to be able to do that."
Other students can still buy season tickets. If free bleacher seats remain unclaimed after the deadline, the students who buy season tickets this year will be entered into a lottery for those spots and a refund.
Prior to his first season, Amaker moved the student section down to the floor with the construction of a new bleacher section. Following 13 years at Duke, where the "Cameron Crazies" are king, Amaker has a deep understanding for the importance of student support. Now, he is the first coach in the Big Ten to help make free basketball tickets available to the student body.
His actions have not gone unnoticed.
"We're very grateful to the donor and to Tommy," said Peter Lund, a Maize Rager also known as Super Fan IV. "That money could have gone toward a lot of things. The relationship between the basketball office and the student body has never been better."
There are about 500 to 600 seats in the bleacher section. Lund estimated about 475 of those spots will be filled by returning Maize Ragers.
The basketball team will return nine players from a team that finished third-place in the conference, including Big Ten Freshman of the Year Daniel Horton and All-Big Ten third-team selection Bernard Robinson Jr. They will be joined by a stellar recruiting class, which includes Michigan's Mr. Basketball, Dion Harris.
The 2003-04 schedule includes a visit from North Carolina State of the Atlantic Coast Conference in early December and home games against Indiana and Michigan State late in the Big Ten season.
The Wolverines have been suspended from postseason play for the upcoming season. They are waiting on word from the NCAA on their appeal of that decision.Labels: basketball, free ticket, news, ticket |

NASCAR community gathers to mourn France Jr.
|
The NASCAR community will gather in Daytona Beach Thursday, not for a race, but to say farewell to former chairman and CEO Bill France Jr., who died Monday.
He was 74.
The funeral will be held at the Mary McLeod Bethune Performing Arts Center at Bethune-Cookman University in Daytona Beach.
Reigning champion Jimmie Johnson, who's scheduled to appear Thursday morning on "Live with Regis & Kelly," will make the appearance in New York and then head south for the ceremony.
He's not alone.
The service is open to the public and considering the tributes that have been made already - and France's contribution to the sporting world - there's no doubt the lines will be long to honor him.
"I loved that old man, he meant a lot to me," Darrell Waltrip said, teary-eyed, during Monday's race telecast on Fox. "I don't know what I'm going to do without him."
The somber mood set in place when word broke Monday that France had died will no doubt carry over into this weekend's event at the Pocono Raceway.
Flags at the speedway will remain at half-mast until the end of Sunday's race. And cars in all NASCAR touring series this weekend will carry a special decal honoring France this weekend.
"We have been associated since 1967," Pocono CEO Dr. Joseph Mattioli said in a statement. "Our families have been friends all that time and had it not been for Bill France, Pocono Raceway would not be here today. Many times over the years he has helped us through some difficult times and Bill France was very important to the success of Pocono Raceway."
It was a relationship that was more than just being business associates.Labels: baseball, basketball, news |

Spurs shut down James
|
What's ABC's matchup to watch in Game 2 of the NBA Finals, Tim Duncan vs. Anderson Varejao?
Game 1's ballyhooed matchup of Duncan vs. LeBron James wasn't exactly one for the ages. Duncan was Duncan, scoring 24 points with 13 rebounds and five blocks. James laid an egg big enough to hatch an elephant, scoring 14 points, missing 12 of 16 shots with six turnovers as the Spurs cruised to an 85-76 win over his Cleveland Cavaliers on Thursday night.
James missed his first seven shots before making one with 7:15 left in the third quarter. He didn't reach double figures until the last 6:54, with the Spurs, who had been up 18 points, coasting in.
"I didn't play extremely well," definitely," said James, unfazed, not to mention understated, as ever. Not just shooting the ball, but the six turnovers was uncharacteristic of me in the postseason."
That's what the Cavaliers are hoping, anyway, but they're not in the Eastern Conference anymore.
Before Thursday, their postseason foes were the 41-win Washington Wizards, the 41-win New Jersey Nets and the aging, bickering 53-win Detroit Pistons.
These were the Spurs, who won 58 games in the Wild West, going on a late 21-3 spurt before rolling through the first three rounds of the Western draw at 12-4.
The Spurs are used to defending against high-powered teams such as the Phoenix Suns, who have scoring threats spread out all over the court.
So guarding James without having to worry unduly about anyone else didn't represent the challenge of their lives.
"Stars carry teams," Duncan said. " … It helps a little bit to have somebody like Bruce [Bowen.]"
This was the standard, formidable Spurs defense, the one they throw against the Lakers' Kobe Bryant with Bowen crowding James, trying to make him drive into their big players, backing him up.
Of course, this is nothing new for James, who has been drawing more attention all postseason.
"They're doing what Detroit tried to do to us," Cleveland Coach Mike Brown said. "They're selling out on LeBron.
"When he has the basketball, he plays pick-and-roll, they're putting two guys [on] him. And they're pulling a third guy over.
"And if he gets into the paint, they've got three guys around him. So what they're doing is saying, 'Hey, somebody else beat us.' "
And who would that be?
James, the most heralded teenager ever and a coming star, opened eyes with a 48-point breakout in Game 5 of the East finals. Unfortunately, if he rarely shoots that well from the outside, it just dialed up the hype that follows him everywhere to heights even he hadn't seen before.
Nevertheless, with no teammate likely to beat anyone, as opposed to making some shots, they're deep in the playoffs to trying to beat anyone one-on-five.
The Cavaliers actually got good contributions from supporting players. Daniel Gibson, a rookie second-round pick who has emerged this postseason like a rabbit from a magician's hat, came off the bench to make seven of nine shots, leading them with 16 points.
The problem was in their stars. James was awful. Duncan squashed gawky Zydrunas Ilguaskas, who missed seven of eight shots and scored two points. Larry Hughes, who's lost trying to play point guard and doesn't have an outside shot to complement James, missed four of his five and scored two points.
Rusty after a nine-day layoff, the Spurs were as ugly as the Cavaliers, who led, 25-22, midway through the second quarter.
Yes, this was some classic, all right.
"We didn't play for a long time," said Spurs guard Tony Parker. "The first half, we were just trying to get our wind back."
Parker got enough back to lead all scorers with 27 points, most of them on his trademark drives.
"Tony gets to the rim all the time and that's no knock on anyone, the Cavs or anyone else," said Duncan. "But with his quickness, his ability to finish in the lane, he gets in there almost at will."
That's another adjustment Brown said the Cavaliers have to make. With all the adjustments they need, it's a good thing they have two days before Sunday's Game 2 but it may not be enough.Labels: baseball, basketball, news |

Court of King James breathes new life into the NBA
|
It is the match-up basketball has been eagerly awaiting for four years: the best player in the world versus the best team in the world. LeBron James has remarkably dragged his Cleveland Cavaliers to the NBA finals for the first time in their history, and San Antonio Spurs supporters aside, America hopes he triumphs when the series starts in Texas tomorrow night so that the sport can acclaim its new hero.
'King James' has been touted as the natural heir to 'His Airness' Michael Jordan's throne since he was a 15-year-old schoolboy phenomenon. Unlike in European football, where individuality has been overwhelmed in favour of the team ethic, the emphasis in American sports is still very much heaped on the single player who can win or lose the game: in the NFL, the quarterback is the controlling presence on the pitch; in baseball, a pitcher is officially credited with the victory or defeat; and with only five basketball players on court for a team at any one time, the strength of that side is often measured by the ability of its star player. James's recent displays suggest he could be the most stellar of them all.
Excluding the 2004 Detroit Pistons, each of the last 27 NBA champion teams have featured one of these eight all-time greats: Tim Duncan, Shaquille O'Neal, Jordan, Hakeem Olajuwon, Isiah Thomas, Magic Johnson, Larry Bird and Julius Erving. Tellingly, these players had an average age of 27 when they won their first championship - James is just 22. Only Johnson was younger when he won his first title, but he had the benefit of lining up alongside the legendary Kareem Abdul-Jabbar for the LA Lakers; James's team-mates, by comparison, are a willing but very limited bunch.
James's age is slightly misleading in that he has followed a different path to all of the above, skipping college to pick up the NBA's dollar and a $90m sponsorship deal with Nike on leaving high school as an 18-year-old, when the Cavaliers drafted him as the first pick in 2003. But he has still transformed the unfashionable Cleveland outfit - the season before James joined, they had a torrid 17-65 record - into contenders three years quicker than Jordan, who didn't haul the Chicago Bulls to the finals until his seventh season when he was 28. In fairness, though, that was the first of six titles in eight attempts for Jordan and the Bulls.
The Eastern Conference finals, in which the Cavaliers became only the third team to come back from a two-game deficit to triumph and where they beat the Pistons 4-2, were evidence of James's once-in-a-generation gifts. After being criticised for passing in the dying seconds of Game One rather than taking a shot himself, James responded with one of the greatest individual performances in basketball history in the pivotal Game Five. Assuming total responsibility on his considerable 6ft 8in frame, he led the Cavaliers to a transcendent double-overtime win with 48 points, including all of Cleveland's last 25. Then, when the Pistons defense double- and at times triple-teamed him in the series decider, he showed that his only concern is for the Cavaliers rather than for himself - a startling contrast to the selfishness of Kobe Bryant, for example - by consistently laying the ball off to his unheralded rookie team-mate Daniel Gibson, who ended with a career-high tally of 31 points.
Unsurprisingly Cleveland, a city that hasn't claimed a national sports championship since the Browns won an NFL title in 1964, is abuzz with excitement. Yet standing in their way are the dominant Spurs, who are gunning for their fourth championship in nine years and who have their very own idol in Duncan, the power forward who has been arguably the most effective player in the league for the past decade. San Antonio are a strong defensive team constructed with the intention of winning, not pleasing. Indeed, theirs is a model Cleveland have aspired to since they took on former Spurs employees Mike Brown and Danny Ferry as coach and general manager respectively in 2005.
Duncan is ably guarded by Tony Parker, Eva Longoria's French fiancé, and Manu Ginobili, the Argentinian who is the NBA's answer to Arjen Robben; but the most important Spur in this series will be Bruce Bowen, their best defender who is tasked with stopping James. Should Bowen succeed, the Cavaliers have no chance of proving wrong the bookies who have them as 4-1 outsiders. However, the veteran Pistons tried to deny James a free ride by hassling and harrying him - as they did with their Jordan Rules in the 1990s - and failed, and James has already shown his dynamism can trouble the Spurs' defense by scoring 35 points when the Cavaliers won in San Antonio in November. Indeed, the ultimate fairytale walk-off could be scripted, with James's girlfriend expecting their second child on June 17, the night of what could be the championship-clinching Game Five.
Even if James is denied his Hollywood ending, the NBA, not to mention the TV companies and sponsors, are set to reap the rewards from what is an unexpected, yet now much-anticipated season-climax. "This is something I felt was needed for the league, was needed for Cleveland, was needed for LeBron," said Jordan, and he should know. Best of all for basketball is that there are many years of this budding legend to come.Labels: basketball, news |

Win free Lobos basketball season tickets
|
George Malone arrived at The Tribune Tuesday wearing a Lobos T-shirt and a Lobos hat with his hand out ready to grasp onto free Lobos season tickets.
Malone won The Tribune's online giveaway - but barely. His was the third name chosen randomly. The first two failed to reply within 24 hours and, according to contest rules, lost their chance.
Good thing for Malone, who counts himself among the Lobos biggest fans.Labels: basketball, free ticket |

Cavs-Pistons Game 6 delayed by malfunction
|
The Eastern Conference finals took a bizarre turn when a shot-clock malfunction created a 21-minute delay between the first and second quarters Saturday night, giving the Cleveland Cavaliers and Detroit Pistons a long and awkward break during Game 6.
Cavs star LeBron James found a comfortable spot to wait it out, sitting on the court with his back resting on a basket support.
After a solution could not be reached with the shot clocks, the officials asked the public-address announcer, Olivier Sedra, to let the players know when there was 10 seconds on the clock and to count down from 5 seconds to 1.
Sedra also frequently announced the score because it was only visible on the videoboards above the court.
The problems were fixed at halftime, with the shot clocks working properly above both baskets along with the scoreboards throughout the arena.
The Cavaliers had a similar problem with their shot clocks at one home game during the regular season.
After sitting and standing early in the delay, both teams used the break to warm up for the second quarter. James, playing the role of a polite host, took two basketballs off the rack and threw them to the Pistons at the other end of the court.Labels: basketball, news |

National Basketball Association: A Brief History
It is widely believed that James Naismith invented the game of Basketball in 1891 while working at the YMCA College in Springfield, MA. Triangle magazine in Springfield, MA first established the rules for basketball in 1892 and 18 basketball students from the Springfield YMCA played the first official basketball game in 1893. The University of Chicago played its first college basketball game in 1894, defeating the Chicago YMCA team 19-11.
The first college basketball game was played in 1895 as Minnesota State School of farming overcame the Porkers of Hamline College, 9-3. In 1896, the first five person college basketball game was played in Iowa City, Iowa. The University of Chicago beat the University of Iowa by a score of 15-12. Intercollegiate basketball was played for the first time when Wesleyan University beat Yale 4-3 in New Haven, Connecticut.

THAT’S THE TICKET TICKET
|
GOT pulled over the other day. Wasn’t wearing a seat belt. Cop peers in the window, looks at my driver’s license, smiles.
“You the guy who works at The Post?”
The heart always skips a beat here. You sense a sliver of an opportunity. You smell freedom. You seize it.
“I am, yes.”
“I like your columns. I read them every day.”
“That’s nice of you to say, officer,” I reply, kind smile fixed to my face, heart rat-a-tat-tatting now, knowing I am seconds away from being warned and sent on my way.
“I need your registration and insurance, too.”
And right there, in that spirit-crushing moment of pure clarity, I understood what must have gone through LeBron James’ mind at the end of Game 2 in Detroit the other night. Right there, in the five minutes it took for the constable to walk back to his car, return to mine, and make me $46 lighter, I understood something.
That’s how it should be. In sports. In life.
Really, all we ask is that we judge everybody with an equal scoring system. Was LeBron really fouled in those dying seconds of Game 2? Maybe he was, maybe he wasn’t. Nine times out of 10, maybe 98 times out of 100, officials are reluctant to make that call on anyone late in a pro basketball game, especially late in a pro basketball playoff game.
The shock, of course, is that we’ve come to expect players like LeBron to be granted the benefit of every doubt, as if by papal proclamation. This is especially prevalent in the NBA, of course, whose star system has been in place for decades, sometimes to extraordinarily ridiculous lengths.
If a feather fell from the top of Chicago Stadium in the early ’90s, Michael Jordan was going to the foul line, no matter how close the game was to the final buzzer. Tim Duncan, for all his incessant complaining, only has to wince late in a game and he’s going to be shooting free throws. And let’s not even begin to discuss all the gentlemanly treatment Dwyane Wade received last year from the men in gray who served as his co-conspirators on the path toward the NBA title.Labels: basketball, ticket |
