LAFAYETTE, La. - Former Ragin’ Cajuns head women’s basketball coach J. Kelley Hall, 51, suddenly passed away on Thursday afternoon after suffering a heart attack at his home in Myrtle Beach, S.C.

Hall, born January 13, 1959, is the winningest coach in program history, turning around a program that had amassed just 45 wins in the 1990’s to 86 wins over his five seasons. UL finished either first or second in the Sun Belt West division four straight seasons under Hall. The Cajuns program was 21-34 in his first two seasons, but posted a mark of 65-28 (.699) in his final three seasons.

“We are deeply saddened to hear of Coach Hall’s passing,” Ragin’ Cajuns athletics director David Walker said. “He was well liked by everyone. Our sympathies and prayers go out to Meredith and their children.”

The 2005 Sun Belt Conference Coach of the Year transformed Louisiana into a Sun Belt-power, finishing the 2006-07 season with a 25-9 record. The Cajuns were Sun Belt West Division Champions, Sun Belt Tournament Runner-Up and accepted a rare mid-major at-large berth in the NCAA Women's Basketball Tournament. It was the first-ever NCAA Tournament invitation in UL history.

Hall, a master of the match-up zone, was regarded as one of the finest defensive coaches in the women's college game. In his career at UL, the Cajuns held the opposition to 58.7ppg on 36.3 percent shooting.

Hall's Cajuns set eight individual and 12 team records, including most victories in a season (25, 2006-07), most home wins in a season (13, 2004-05), most consecutive home wins in a season (13, 2004-05) and most consecutive home wins overall, notching 22-straight wins from February 5, 2004 through January 5, 2006. Over his five seasons, Hall coached five 1,000-point scorers, one Sun Belt Conference Player of the Year, two Sun Belt Conference Newcomers of the Year and eight All-Sun Belt performers.

One of Hall’s many highlights came when the Ragin' Cajuns traveled to the University of South Carolina's Thanksgiving Tournament in 2006 and won the championship, defeating the Gamecocks by 15 on the SEC team's home hardwood. Later that same season, UL went to SBC-power Western Kentucky and defeated the Hilltoppers 77-64 in E.A. Diddle Arena.

Hall was hired to be the Cajuns 10th head coach in school history on April 5, 2002. He had coaching stops at Louisville, as Associate Head Coach & Recruiting Coordinator (2000-02), and Assistant Coach/Recruiting Coordinator positions at Auburn (1996-2000), Cal State Fullerton (1994-96), Mississippi State (1992-94), the University of Alabama (1983-84) and Troy (1982-83). He left the Cajuns to serve as head coach at the University of Cincinnati from 2007-09.

The Selma, Alabama native honed his X's and O's as a head coach in the highly competitive junior college ranks. Hall averaged 26 wins per year during a seven-year stint as the head coach at Truett-McConnell Junior College, while also capturing three state championships and four second-place finishes. In 1984-85, Hall helped start the women's basketball program at Gordon Junior College where he led the team to a first-year record of 19-7.

Hall and his wife Meredith were married on May 19, 2001. They are the proud parents of daughters Brynley Michele and Jordyn Kelley and son Aubrey Oneal. ]]> Where are they now? fiveONEthree http://forums.bearcatnews.com/showthread.php?t=9212 Trent Cole Injured http://forums.bearcatnews.com/showthread.php?t=9182&goto=newpost Mon, 30 Aug 2010 01:02:58 GMT http://news.cincinnati.com/article/2...-injures-ankle

Most notably, they have severed ties with linebacker Troy Evans, the team's special-teams captain in 2008 and 2009.

Evans, an eight-year veteran, appeared in every game last season, starting twice. They were the first two starts of his career.

"Decisions like these are never easy to make," G.M. Mickey Loomis said in a team-issued released. "Troy Evans was an instrumental part of the Saints' Super Bowl XLIV Championship in 2009 and we are truly thankful for his hard work and dedication. We know that the fans of our team will be grateful for Troy's contributions and the way he contributed to our success both on and off the football field. "

"It's always difficult when you have to make decisions such as releasing players that have contributed as much to the Saints as Troy has," coach Sean Payton said. "Troy was our special-teams captain the past two seasons and provided us with tremendous depth at the outside linebacker position the past three seasons."

Also released were receiver Mark Bradley, receiver Rod Harper, guard Tim Duckworth, and cornerback Danny Gorrer.

Lance Stephenson, Indiana Pacers NBA player, arrested for pushing his girlfriend down the stairs

Behrman/APFormer Cincinnati guard Lance Stephenson. Related NewsConey Island basketball star Lance Stephenson - a second-round Indiana Pacers pick in the June NBA draft - was busted Sunday for pushing his girlfriend down a flight of stairs, cops said.

Stephenson, 19, a legendary player at Brooklyn's Abraham Lincoln High School, roughed up Jasmine Williams, 21, in the stairwell of her Brooklyn apartment building about 5 a.m., according to police.

The 6-foot-5 rookie point guard's blows sent Williams tumbling head-first down 10 steps, requiring her to be treated at a hospital for injuries to her head and neck, cops said.

Stephenson, who played one year at Cincinnati before getting drafted 40th overall by the Pacers, was hit with a charge of third-degree assault. He was awaiting arraignment last night.

He had been considered a first-round talent but dropped to the second round due to off-the-court issues, including a 2008 bust for sexually abusing a 17-year-old girl inside of Lincoln High School.
