(AP) — Lefty Driesell, the Hall of Fame coach whose folksy drawl belied a fiery on-court demeanor that put Maryland on the college basketball map and enabled him to rebuild several struggling programs, died Saturday. Driesell was inducted into the College Basketball Hall of Fame in 2007, but his entry into the Naismith shrine proved more elusive. He went 9-14 in his debut, one of only two times over an entire season in which he would finish with a losing record as a college coach. Congratulations.”After leaving Maryland, Driesell was hired in 1988 by James Madison, a small Virginia school that finished 10-18 in 1987. I figured it out pretty quickly.”___AP college basketball: https://apnews.com/hub/ap-top-25-college-basketball-poll and https://apnews.com/hub/college-basketball

Dirk Nowitzki went into the Basketball Hall of Fame, and now his homeland stands atop the men’s international basketball world. Dennis Schroder scored 28 points, Franz Wagner added 19 and Germany capped off an unbeaten run through the World Cup by holding off Serbia 83-77 in the final on Sunday night. It was Germany’s first World Cup title; before now, its top showing in the event was a bronze at Indianapolis in 2002. Germany went 8-0 in the tournament, becoming the fifth consecutive champion to go unbeaten. But Serbia went on a surprise run, fueled by inspiration the team took from the loss of reserve forward Borisa Simanic.

Directorul general al OMS, spune că distribuirea vaccinurilor către țările sărace a fost „doar o scurgere, care este depășită de variante”, după ce datele arată că varianta Delta este prezentă acum în cel puțin 98 de țări. Avertismentul său vine după ce Dame Sarah Gilbert, profesorul de la Oxford care a condus echipa din spatele vaccinului Oxford/AstraZeneca, a cerut prudență cu privire la propunerile de vaccinare a copiilor din Marea Britanie. „Varianta Delta este periculoasă și continuă să evolueze, ceea ce necesită o evaluare constantă și o ajustare atentă a răspunsului la sănătatea publică”, a spus Ghebreyesus. „Delta a fost detectată în cel puțin 98 de țări și se răspândește rapid în țările cu acoperire de vaccinare scăzută și ridicată”. Acest punct a fost susținut de profesorul James Naismith, directorul Institutului Rosalind Franklin, Oxford.
