The Tenne·ssee coach broke Dean Smith's career victory record Tuesday night, getting No. 880 in the Lady Vols '. 7554 win over Purdue in the second round · of the NCAA tournament. · Summitt tied Smith at 879 with an easy win over Western Carolina in the first round Sunday night and passed the former North Carolina men 's coach with another convincing victory. Summitt improved to 88017 I, while Smith was 879254 when he retired in 1997 after 36 years with the Tar Heels. ·"Obviously, to be in the c0 mpany with Coach Smith, to think about all the people that were a part of these wins, I never thought I'd live this long," Summitt said. · Top-seeded Tennessee (28- 4). seeking its seventh national title u d e r Summitt, advanced to face fourthseeded Texas Tech in the semifinal s of t h e Philadelphia Regional on Pat Summitt Sunday. · Ninth-seeded Purdue (I 713) tried its best to stall Summitt's chase, hanging tough with the Lady Vols in the first half. But Tennessee's defense was too much for Purdue in the · second half. The Boilermakers didn't have a field goal in the first 6:35 of the second half, while the Lady Vols pushed their lead to 20 with a I9-6 run. Tye'sha·Fiuker tied a career high with I8 points and had 10 rebounds while Shyra Ely added I 6 points, Shanna Zolman I 5 and Nicky Anosike I I. · n · Sharika Webb had 16 points and I0 rebounds and Katie Gear Ids added I 3 for the Boilermakers, who made only four .tield goals in the second half. .

And many of her tournament runs have started in Knoxville, where the Lady Vols improved to 46-0 in NCAA games. An amazingly chunk of Summitt's wins have come against ranked teams.

When· asked to whom he was referring, Bonds looked at the reporters around him and said calmly, "You, you, you , you, you , you the media, everybody. You finally got there." Later, Bonds said, "I'm tired of my kids ,crying. You wanted me to jump off a bridge, I finally did. You finally brought me and OJY family down .... So now go pick a. different person."

Come gametime Thursday night, though, the WisconsinMilwaukee coach knows ihe reception will be as' hostile as any he 's ever 'seen. It's been 16 years since Pearl gave the NCAA a secretly recorded tape thai he said was proof Illinois was cheating. He moved on a long time ago, and no one connected to the incident is left at Illinois. But for illinois fans,Jhe bitterness toward Peart' remains as fresh as it was the day sanctions were imposed. Instead of another step Pearl kept chasing Thomas, toward the Final Four, the though. Convinced Illinois lllini's game against the was up to something shady, 12th-seeded Panthers in the Pearl secretly tape-reco.rded Chicago Regional on one phone call in which Th\lrsday night has become a Thomas seemed to cdnfirm chance to finally avenge past that lllini assistant Jimmy Collins had offered him wrongs. "Regardless of wl:lo takes $80,000 and a Ciievroiet the floor against Illinois, do Blazer. To this day, Thomas you think that team's going denies Illinois did anything to be cheered?"

"''m it's wrong." The tape touched off a 16month investigation by the NCAA. Though Illinois was cleared of the allegations involving Thomas · and Pearl's tape, other infractions were found and Illinois was barred from postseason play in 199 I. T)10mas went on to become Illinois ' all-time leading scorer, but he says his ability to -trust people was forever · shaken. Both · Pearl and Collins saw once-promising careers derailed. The only job Pearl co\)id · get was . at Division II Southern Indiana. "It's a tough situation." said Illinois coach Bruce Weber, who was an assistant at Purdue at the time . "You've got two coaches involved, it's their livelihood. Maybe one guy went a little too far. I don't know. That's not my call. It wasn't good for either person, to be honest. But you've got to go on with life." Pearl maintains he did nothing wrong, and says he would do the same thing again. "That's the only thing that he has," said Thomas, who . never talked to Pearl again after that phone call. "If he admits that he did something wrong, who would trust him' Who would even think about having him work for their university?" · Though Pearl knows his presence adds intrigue to the matchup, he doesn't want it overshadowing Thursday's game. The Panthers (26-5) have enough to worry about, playing the top-seeded lilini (34-1 ). UWM used its vaunt.ed press to stun Alabama and Boston College last week- end, but Illinois is better equipped to handle it with its three standout guanls. The Panthers know they're not going to sneak up on anyone again, either,. Illinois knows all about Ed McCants and Joah Tucker, sharpshooters whom Weber called two of the be'sl players left in the tournament. ·"They obviously have the mental edge and have the capacity to bring it every game,'' McCants said. ''I don't think that's going to change. They're going to bring it hard." And: not because Pearl will be on the other sideline. , The players were barely in grade school back when Pearl turned in Illinois. The brouhaha has as much meaning for them as short shorts and canvas sneakers . Knight's wife adds perspective to coaching BY BETSl: BLANEY Associated Press LUBBOCK, Texas When Bob Knight coaches in the round of 16 for the first · time in more than a decade Thursday night , one of his most trusted advisers won't be on the Texas Tech bench: his wife. Knight brings a seasoned staff, 39 years of coaching, 854 victories and 27 NCAA tournament appearanc_e s into the game against West Virginia. He als1'r1 relies on Karen Knight, a former top high school coach- but her sharp perspective comes from the stands. . " It's a different set of eyes with a really good m.i,nd, 1is what we' re talking al'\out," Knight said .. "It's been great for me to have som~hody right there all' the time ." Karen Knight made a rare public appearance - and offered a glimpse of her Hall of Fame husband 's softer side - · after Tech upset Gonzaga on Saturday. The coach brought her down from · the stands, and she hugged him through'?ut a nationally teley1sed mter~iew, tears streaming down her face. But Kare.n Knight offers mu.c h more than emotional suJ>port . In fact, . the Oklahoma Girls' Basketball Hall of Fame member' has been a key part of the brain trutt that has helped turn around the Tech program. Karen Knight, who has been married to Bob Knight aioce 1988, is the coach's hoops sounding board. Her huaband says she's the bet· ter coach of the two Kniahts, and she sunests defensive strateay and helps ' • players with technique during practice. "The first time I ever talked to her about (basketbali); · I · understood how much she knew," Bob Knight said. "I k:new that immediately.'' The marriage is Knight's second.

"And not the least of it is her understanding about the whole thing, about how difficult this is, and how hard losing is. She has experienced all. that."

Wrong) We lo11e majQrs and hate minors ... when we are aiming for a ~ame Contract Why h•ve to win 11 tricks when 10 will do? (True, If we are going for slam, we are happy with a minor suit as trumps because we have to win 12 or 13 tricks, \ whalever the strain chosen.) So, our first priorily is to toy to lin~ an eight-<:ard or better major-suit Iii. II we succeed. then it (almost always) becomes purel y a matter of how high we go up the bidding ladde' in that suit. If we fa il to find a major-suit lit, we steer full bO re toward th ree no-trump.

So, South, after opening one diamond and hearing" partner responCI one heart (four-card sulls up the line), rebids one spade. (It he incorre<::tly rebids two diamond s, 1hat would end lhe aucti on.) Titan, when North raises to two spades, South goes for game in lhat suit. Ignore dummy's heart king.

Fifteen-game winner Jeriome. Robertson was relaxing . at his California . home, neari'ng the end of what should have been an enjoyable offseason, When the phone ning. . . Houston Astros manager Jimy Williams was on the line, and that wasn't a good sign. Managers don't usually call players at home in ·January unless something significant is going on usually, something bad. , This was bad. ' "! remember it like it was yesterday," said Robertson, who can repll every detail from that January 2004 conversation. "Basically I was told I wasn't going to be in the rotation." Robertson, 27, has been trying to get back ever · since. The left-bander bounced from Houston to Triple-A Buffalo to Cleveland and then to Montreal's Triple-A team in Edmonton last year, a slippery slope that left him without a job in the · offseason. The Cincinnati Reds had a couple of openings in their rotation, and offered him a chance to compete on a· minor league contract. He got the locker vacated b)' team captain Barry Larkin, who retired in the offseason. He got a promise that the Reds would give him a close look. With a dozeri days left before the season opener, Robertson is trying not to think too much aboui whether he'll be playing in Cincinnati or Triple -A Louisville next month. "Nothing's been said," he said. "If you start reading. into stuff too much, it doesn't do you ·any good as a player." The rotation has three fixtures: opening day starter Paul Wilson, left-bander Eric Milton and right-hander Ramon Ortiz.

Harang has a 4.08 ERA in five games, while · Robertson is at 4.09 'after five games. It has come down to the last two weeks of spring training, something that's second nature for Robertson. This time of the year is always a fight·. . He and Tim Redding were competing for the final spot in the Astros ' rotation in 2003, until Houston got rid of Shane Reynolds and kept them both . Robertson had a 15-9· breakout season - (the most wins by any rookie in Astros history) and a 5. I 0 ERA in 31 starts and one relief appearance. He gave up ' 23 homers and 180 hits in 160 2-3 innings. The 15 wins were nice, but the Astros were determined to do better - much better: They brought , in Andy Pettitte and Roger Clemens in the offseason, prompting that unforgettable January phone call to Robertson. ' • "Basically I was told I wasn't going to be in lhe rotation because of Pettine and Clemens," Robertson said. "It was rough to handle after having a year in the big le\lgues .." It kept· ·getting rougher. The Astros traded him to Cleveland, which sent him to the minors. He appeared in eight games for the Indians as · a reliever - an· unaccustomed role - and got hit hard. Then, he was dealt to Montreal. Now, he 's just looking for a chance to get back into a major league rotation and show that his rookie season - the one that went into the Astros' record book - . wasn't a lluke. He'll have his answer in a few more days. "You guys come up to us asking where we stand," he said.
