NOTES FROM ECU AND BEYOND...

Compiled from staff reports
and electronic dispatches
ECU's
Smith among 7 C-USA All-Americans
East Carolina senior
catcher Jake Smith has been named second team All-America by the National
Collegiate Baseball Writers Association. Three Conference USA players were
named first team All-Americans and three were named to the third team,
according to the league web site.
Houston junior
pitcher/designated hitter Brad Lincoln, Rice senior righthander Eddie
Degerman and Rice sophomore lefthander Cole St. Clair earned spots on the
first team.
Southern Mississippi
senior third baseman Marc Maddox, Rice sophomore utility player Joe Savery
and Southern Miss senior righthander Daniel Best earned third team status.
Smith, who is a
finalist for the Johnny Bench Award, led the Pirates in seven offensive
categories including average, hits, doubles, runs batted in, total bases and
slugging percentage, while ranking second in home runs with 13. The
Greensboro native, who had already been named to the Louisville Slugger
All-America team, finished his collegiate career with 29 home runs and 135
RBI's, which ranks in the top 12 on ECU's all-time charts.
Duke star Redick charged with drunk driving
The Durham Herald has
reported that Duke basketball star J.J. Redick was arrested early Tuesday on
charges of drunken driving. The Associated Press Player of the Year also was
charged with making an illegal U-turn.
Redick, who has a
Virginia driver's license, lost his driving privileges in North Carolina for
30 days, according to a police spokesman.
The 21-year-old Redick
was released on $1,000 bond shortly after being taken before a Durham County
magistrate. He is to appear in court July 17. The arresting officer wrote in
his report that Redick had "very glassy eyes, strong odor of alcohol coming
from breath."
Redick had a
blood-alcohol level of 0.11 percent. The legal limit for drivers in North
Carolina is 0.08.
"I regret what happened
last night and want to apologize to my family and the Duke community for the
incident," Redick said in a statement issued by the university.
Redick finished his
career as the leading scorer in Atlantic Coast Conference history. He is
expected to be a high first-round pick in the June 28 NBA draft.
UAB selects Shoop to guide baseball program
Brian Shoop, who
directed Birmingham-Southern to national prominence, has been named the head
baseball coach at UAB, according to the Blazers' athletic web site.
Shoop, BSC's all-time
winningest coach with 692 victories in 17 years, will become the fourth
coach in the 28-year history of the UAB program.
In his 17 seasons at
Birmingham-Southern, Shoop compiled a .693 winning percentage, including
nine seasons with more than 40 wins. He finished with at least 32 wins a
season in 16 of his 17 years, and had a remarkable 209 victories in
conference play.
Under Shoop, the
Panthers captured the Big South regular season championship in two of the
past three years (2004 and 2006). The 2004 squad earned a berth in the NCAA
Athens Regional. He was the recipient of the 2004 Big South Conference Coach
of the Year award and also the Alabama Baseball Coaches Association Coach of
the Year.
