The New Jersey Nets recalled rookie point guard Ben Uzoh from Springfield of the NBA Development League. Uzoh, who signed with the Nets as a free agent out of Tulsa, appeared in four games with the Armor, averaging 16 points, 8 rebounds and 5.8 assists. In 32 games with the Nets this season, Uzoh is averaging 3.4 points and 1.4 assists.

Air Force pilots who participated in a flyover before an Iowa football game were disciplined for flying much too low and too fast, and the flight leader is giving up his right to fly military aircraft, the Air Force said. The four Talon T-38 Trainer jets were at an altitude just 16 feet above the stadium’s press box when they wowed 70,000 fans inside Kinnick Stadium before Iowa hosted Ohio State on Nov. 20, the Air Force said.

The jets cleared the scoreboard by 58 feet, and their altitude of 176 feet above ground level was far lower than the 1,000-foot minimum elevation required for flights above a populated area such as a stadium, the Air Force investigation concluded. The jets also approached speeds of 400 knots, above the limit of 300, during both the flyover and practice runs the day before, the investigation found.

A University of Iowa investigative committee said the school should scrap an intense workout that left 13 football players hospitalized, conceding that whatever triggered their injuries remains a mystery.

The five-member panel’s report clears the players, trainers and coaches of any wrongdoing, saying similar workouts have been done in the past without any injuries. The January workout, however, led to the 13 football players being diagnosed with rhabdomyolysis, which breaks down muscle cells and discolors urine.

Former NFL coach Marty Schottenheimer has been hired as head coach and general manager of the Virginia Destroyers of the UFL.
