Football coaches tell their players they have to score just once and keep the other team from scoring to win. It is a coach's last option, and yesterday, West Roxbury coach Leo Sybertz had to settle for that.

Our position is: NBA commissioner sent a necessary message to the players that their behavior was unacceptable. NBA Commissioner David Stern has handed the Indiana Pacers a severe but warranted penalty for

If there's one person who can relate to what Philadelphia 76ers president Billy King is going through these days, it's Indiana boss Donnie Walsh. Last year, right around this time, Ron Artest decided he wanted to be traded, and went public. Soon thereafter, Artest was told to go home and the Pacers would try to accommodate him. Five weeks later ...

It&#39;s almost certainly too little too late, although after what took place here on Saturday afternoon the rope reserved for the head coach has been put aside for the time being.

The firing of Jeff Bzdelik by the Nuggets, with assistant Michael Cooper taking the reins as interim head coach, reminds me of when I became coach of the SuperSonics.

In the end, it doesn&#39;t matter exactly what Ron Artest did to get himself booted by his coach. It doesn&#39;t matter if it was a disagreement over touches, a hygiene issue or some strange request to take a month

Of course, he conceded that it was his fault, but Bill Belichick couldn't get much work done the other day. Not with the line he had outside his office. Practice was over, the guys were free to go where they wanted, but many of them remained at Gillette Stadium. They wanted a word with Belichick, whose coaching decisions in last ...

Far be it from me to question Doc Rivers's coaching at this point of the young season, but was anyone else watching the Wizards-Celtics game last Wednesday -- I know you're out there, it's OK to admit it -- and wondering why Al Jefferson was not sent into the game when Raef LaFrentz fouled out?

Seattle - Jeff Bzdelik said he wanted his team to &quot;paint a win&quot; in Seattle by establishing dominance in both of the KeyArena&#39;s lanes.

The fact that Tomjanovich took no flight before the contest and actually was in Staples Center may have been lost on the Laker coach.

Jeff Bzdelik won't recruit a player who can't knock down the 3. Those players who were at Air Force before Bzdelik's arrival at the academy last year quickly realized they had to start sinking 3-pointers themselves to earn any playing time, and that included big man John Frye, a 6-foot-10 senior center who had attempted just one 3-pointer in his life.

Ron Artest warned the Indiana Pacers. The volatile forward told them he was burned out. He needed a rest. He needed vacation time, comp time, sick days, whatever they could spare.

Add Peter Forsberg to the swelling list of superstars who deserted Philadelphia without a championship. Instead of winning a Stanley Cup, all the Flyers got out of their high-priced free agent was 100 games, no real solution to his lingering foot woes and no commitment to the future.

With nothing to play for this week, it would have been very easy for New England head coach Bill Belichick to employ the same tactics of Philadelphia Eagles
