Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 03:48:54 GMT

Lyon’s players will have to refocus their minds quickly for the home game against Metz in the French league on Sunday after their team bus was attacked in Marseille by fans throwing projectiles last weekend, injuring their coach and causing that match to be called off. The bus attack was the lowest point yet for a club that has struggled badly this season, and is the only team in the league yet without a win. The seven-time French champion is last in the standings and now has to recover from the trauma of last week’s incident as well if it wants to avoid relegation at the end of the season. The Lyon team bus was hit by thrown objects on the way to Stade Velodrome, shattering some windows. Lyon coach Fabio Grosso was injured by falling shards of glass and needed medical treatment with his face bleeding profusely. “What happened on Sunday evening could have been a tragedy, and it certainly was for the sport and all those who love it,” Grosso wrote on his Instagram account....

Innovative motion offense a trademark of Bob Knight’s legacy

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 03:48:54 GMT

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Dusty May started his student manager career doing Indiana’s dirty work.Between wiping up sweat, filling water bottles and grabbing rebounds, he took enough mental notes to stake a coaching career on what he learned working for Bob Knight. After taking Florida Atlantic to its first Final Four in 2023, May, like Knight once was, is considered one of America’s top young coaches.The secret to May’s success is using the same fundamentals he learned during a four-year apprenticeship with Knight.No, it’s not the same motion offense Knight popularized in the 1970s, but May didn’t just chuck out a playbook and start over. He took the one created by the Hall of Fame coach who won three national championships and 902 games and added his own touch.“The principles on offense of playing your man and on defense playing the ball, that’s essentially our philosophy as well,” the 46-year-old May said after the 2023 NCAA Tournament wrapped up. “We inco...

2034 World Cup would bring together FIFA’s president and Saudi Arabia’s Prince Mohammed

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 03:48:54 GMT

GENEVA (AP) — The near certainty that Saudi Arabia will host the 2034 men’s World Cup unites two of the most influential men in world sports: the leader of soccer’s governing body and the kingdom’s crown prince.Under its President Gianni Infantino, FIFA has become increasingly involved in Persian Gulf nations looking to make their mark in global soccer. Critics call that involvement part of a hunger for money that risks the sport’s integrity. FIFA also has a stated commitment to protect human rights that critics say risks being violated.Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, for his part, has been spearheading a massive Saudi investment in athletics, including soccer and golf, in a push that critics call sportswashing — using athletics to clean an image. In the case of Saudi Arabia, U.S.-based journalist Jamal Khashoggi was slain inside the Saudi Consulate in Istanbul in 2018. Prince Mohammed likely approved the killing, according to U.S. intelligence agencies, th...
