Clippers decide on Del Negro

Basketball Betting Lines

07/07/2010 - Los Angeles, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Los Angeles Clippers have decided to hire Vinny Del Negro as their next head coach.

Del Negro and Dallas Mavericks assistant coach Dwane Casey were finalists for the position and both had interviews on Monday. The Clippers released a statement Tuesday night saying they had reached an agreement in principle with Del Negro. The team said additional information will be made available on Wednesday,

The 43-year-old Del Negro had one season and about $2 million remaining on his contract with the Bulls when he was fired. He compiled an 82-82 regular season record to go with a 4-8 postseason record over two turbulent years with the team. The Bulls finished with a 41-41 mark in each season and were ousted by the Cleveland Cavaliers in the first round of this year's playoffs.

Prior to his coaching stint with Chicago, Del Negro spent 13 seasons in the NBA with Sacramento, San Antonio, Milwaukee, Phoenix and Golden State, averaging 9.1 points and 3.2 assists in 771 career regular season games. He also spent parts of three seasons playing in Italy.

The Clippers needed a replacement for interim head coach Kim Hughes, who was relieved of his duties following this past season. Hughes, who took over behind the bench after the resignation of Mike Dunleavy on February 4, finished the season with an 8-25 record as the Clippers went 29-53 and landed third in the Pacific Division.

The Clippers have not recorded a winning season since going 47-35 in 2005-06, which was the last time the club advanced to the postseason. That year, LA topped Denver in five games before falling in a seven-game Western semifinal against Phoenix.

Terrell Owens could return for Cowboys next game
A bye week will allow Terrell Owens broken hand to recover just in time for the next game the Dallas Cowboys are slated to play, according to reports. MySportsbook.com, an football sportsbook, has posted football betting lines on TO playing.

Owens broke the bone leading to his right ring finger Sunday night and had a plate surgically attached to it Monday. Although Owens' hand was swollen and aching Wednesday, Dallas Cowboys coach Bill Parcells said he's optimistic the receiver will be back at work next week and catching passes a week from Sunday against the Tennessee Titans.

MySportsbook.com online sportsbook listed Terrell Owens with odds of 7-2 (or $7 paid out for every $2 bet) to return back for the game against Tennessee.

"I certainly wouldn't rule it out now," Parcells said, referring to Terrell Owens immediate return. "Maybe five days from now I might, but I wouldn't rule it out now. ... I know we're looking to try to get him moving around pretty good in the next day or so. So we'll see where we are."

Owens did not speak with reporters Wednesday, but said Sunday he'd be out two to four weeks. A return against the Titans would be 13 days after the surgery. The Cowboys were listed as an early -7 1/2 favorite vs. the Tennessee Titans for Week 4 at MySportsbook.com
