Reports: Johnson reaches verbal agreement to coach LSU Trent Johnson is leaving Stanford after four seasons to become the new coach at LSU, according to reports in the Louisiana media and online. Johnson, who led Stanford to three NCAA tournaments and a trip to this year's Sweet 16, has reached a verbal agreement with the Tigers. Former coach John Brady was fired during the 2007-08 season. An announcement has not been scheduled. LSU recently hired Joe Alleva to replace Skip Bertman as athletic director. Alleva was Duke's AD since 1998. The development comes on the heels of Massachusetts coach Travis Ford saying he didn't want to be considered for the opening and another candidate, Tony Bennett Jr. of Washington State, announcing he would not leave his current job. Johnson, who had one year left on his contract, was 81-48 with the Cardinal after replacing Mike Montgomery as coach. Montgomery, who spent 18 seasons in Palo Alto, rejoined the Pac-10 last week when he was hired across the Bay by Cal. At Stanford, Johnson also lost of twins Brook and Robin Lopez. The sophomores announced March 31 that they would hire agents and thus forgo their remaining two years of college eligibility. Information from ESPN.com senior writer Andy Katz was used in this report.

Self looking for 'security' from Kansas after winning national title SAN ANTONIO -- Kansas coach Bill Self slept for less than an hour after the Jayhawks stunned Memphis in one of the more memorable finals in NCAA tournament history, wrapping up their first national title in 20 years. Wojciechowski: Don't do it Bill Self has a choice: Enjoy hoops heaven at Kansas or sell out and take Oklahoma State's money. Gene Wojciechowski lends some advice. Story The details of the Jayhawks' 75-68 overtime victory will soon be etched in Kansas lore. After Memphis missed a series of free throws, Kansas guard Mario Chalmers hit a 3-pointer with 2.1 seconds left to send the game to overtime, where the Jayhawks overwhelmed the Tigers. Now Kansas fans may begin losing sleep over whether their coach is headed for Oklahoma State. Less than 12 hours after cutting down the nets, a bleary-eyed Self returned to the Alamodome on Tuesday morning and faced questions about whether he's interested in the job at his alma mater, which parted ways with Sean Sutton on April 1. As he has for a week, Self said he plans to meet with Kansas officials soon about a contract extension. "What I'd like to have is like everybody'd like to have," Self said. "I'd like to have some security. I don't know what even Kansas would remotely be talking [about]. We haven't even talked about that. When I say security, I mean years, so hopefully that'll happen." Citing factors such as Kansas' rich hoops tradition, Self said, "I'm not looking for more than what Kansas provides on a daily basis." The school gave Self a five-year contract extension last season, increasing his annual compensation to more than $1.3 million with a chance to make another $350,000 each year if he meets incentives. But Self could likely command far more money from Oklahoma State, whose billionaire alumnus Boone Pickens gave $165 million to the school's athletic department. Self said he hasn't met Pickens and wasn't familiar with details about Oklahoma State's program. But he drew a chuckle from reporters when he said, "From the outside looking in, it appears that they have great resources." Kansas fans have become accustomed to a certain amount of anxiety over losing a talented coach. Roy Williams flirted with, and eventually left for his alma mater, North Carolina. Kansas followers exulted when their team defeated Williams and the Tar Heels in the national semifinals, but Williams turned up at the final wearing a Jayhawks sticker on his shirt. Self awoke Tuesday morning to a congratulatory call from President Bush, who invited the Jayhawks to visit the White House. "He said something that was pretty cool," Self said. "He said, 'You need to get here soon because you've got great seniors. If you don't get out here soon, then they won't get a chance to come because they'll all split and go different ways.'" The veteran-laden Jayhawks will likely lose junior Brandon Rush, who declared himself eligible for the NBA draft last year but returned to campus after injuring his knee. "I would anticipate losing five great seniors and possibly a couple more," Self said. Player turnover is common in college basketball. The bigger question is whether Self will be back. He said he hadn't heard from the Cowboys but would talk to them if they call. "I would answer the phone," Self said. "Good gosh, I know all those people. I'm not going to lie and say I'm not going to answer the phone. But I certainly wouldn't answer the phone unless everybody at Kansas knew exactly what was going on." Self said he's "positively not interested" in the Oklahoma State job but added that he wants to sit down with Kansas administrators. "I'm sure we'll meet and iron some things out," he said. Asked what he considers important when he evaluates a job, Self replied, "I've got the best job. I have tradition and history and I love the people I work with. It's a great place to recruit to and my family's happy. I've got the best job, so I'm not evaluating anything else. I'm really not." Ten days ago, Self had been considered one of the finer coaches who hadn't reached the Final Four. Then one desperation 3-pointer missed and another swished. In the regional final, Davidson missed the potential winning shot from beyond the arc, stamping the Jayhawks' ticket to San Antonio. On Monday night, Chalmers' shot fell and Self soon had a national title on his resume. Still, he said he didn't think of himself as a different coach. "I don't think just because a guy makes a guarded shot with 2.1 seconds left makes me any different than if he hadn't made the shot," Self said. Copyright 2008 by The Associated Press

Ozen still in the hunt!

Dogs outlasts Jags in 22-4A baseball The Port Arthur News NEDERLAND — The Central Jaguars scored three runs with two outs in the bottom of the seventh inning to give the Nederland Bulldogs a scare on Tuesday night. The Dogs’ Ryan Sampere came into close the game out and Nederland held on for a 5-4 victory. With the win, Nederland impvoes to 5-4 in District 22-4A and will travel to Port Neches to square off with the Indians on Friday night. That game is scheduled to start at 7 p.m. Against Central, Nederland seemed to be in control having scored runs in the second fifth and sixth inning to take a 5-1 lead. The Jags did not score a run until the sixth inning when they managed one run to cut the score to 2-1. Nederland added three runs in the bottom of the sixth. Kirby Bellow picked up the win. He went 5.2 innings, struck out nine and allowed four hits. Reagan Stanley went 2-for-3 with a triple and a double for the Dogs. Aaron McFarland also went 2-for-3. He had two singles. No hit proved to be more important than Jude Vidrine’s single in the sixth inning. With two outs, Vidrine knocked in two runs. Central scored its three runs in the seventh off five walks and two hits.

Lopez breezes to singles finals By Tom Halliburton The Port Arthur News VIDOR -- Grant Lopez has earned the right to feel a bit more tired of processing those pleasant tennis-court requests from his dad, Jorge Lopez. But the rest of Nederland's tennis squad probably has heard every bit as much barking from their Bulldogs tennis coach as this freshman sensation has. A determined and successful taskmaster throughout two decades of coaching Nederland's racket men and women, the older Lopez has found a serve that's even hard for him to handle. The former Lamar University standout in the 1970s, Jorge knows his way around a tennis court, but he imparts as much of that knowledge as possible to his 15-year-old who bangs serves at speeds over 100 miles an hour. Grant Lopez (22-3 in this school year) has already successfully navigated his way into USTA junior competition. That can tend to turn his walk through the District 22-4A boys singles seem like a piece of cake, so to speak. The top-seeded Lopez will meet junior teammate Aaron Elizondo in an all-Nederland final today on Vidor's courts at 1 p.m. NHS also will completely both ends of the boys doubles final at 1 when top-seeded Cody Mays and Ben Wiedenfeld will meet second-seeded Nick Duplan and Jimmy Hoang. It will be an upset if Nederland will bring home the girls singles crown today at 1 p.m. Second-seeded Rachel Binagia will meet top-seeded Lumberton standout Jessica Brown. An unseeded NHS duo of Jordan Chandler and Kayla Ferguson will be underdogs today in the girls doubles final at 1 against Lumberton's top-seeded team of Laura Chapman and Brittany Guyton. The lone bracket champion crowned on this opening day turned out to be the Little Cypress-Mauriceville tandem of sophomore Corey Guilbeaux and senior Emily Walker. The LC-M pair weathered 85-degree temperatures on Court 1 to down Nederland's Holly Hodge and Adam Weaver, 6-4, 6-3. Two representatives from each of the five brackets will advance to Huntsville for the Class 4A Region III tournament on Apr. 24-25. Due to the extremely difficult competition level in Greater Houston, that regional event has turned into an all-too-brief outing for Golden Triangle racket swingers. Lopez just might change that depressing trend before long. Unlike his shorter dad, Grant nears 5-9 and arguably gets his height from his grandfather. He started getting a half-hour lesson from dad about three times a week when he was seven. It all changed from casual to a more serious endeavor by age 11 or 12. His athletic ability is such that Grant competes in powerlifting and track, working on his upper body strength as well as speed and quickness. "He's better than I was because he has more athletic ability," the older Lopez said. "He doesn't have to try for things. He doesn't have to practice that much." Oh sure, Grant can improve his volleys and develop more quickness but his nuts-and-bolts tennis can place his future in an ideal position. He will turn 16 in June. He's a dominant leader on arguably the best boys tennis squad that his father ever has coached at Nederland. With seniors such as Nick Duplan, Ben Wiedenfeld, Adam Weaver, and Jimmy Hoang, the Dogs are better than ever on the boys side but Grant's game can serve as icing on the cake... when Dad doesn't lick off the icing. "I try to let him go and have some fun but it's hard to coach your own kid," the NHS tennis coach said. "I think I started going on the court with dad when I was 6 or 7," the younger Lopez said. "I really don't remember that much... We're pretty close, I guess."
