导出博客文章Geelong coach Chris Scott has dismissed suggestions Mitch Clarks future with the Cats has been put in jeopardy after he was involved in a dispute with teammate Mitch Duncan. Nike Zoom Clearance .The Age reported on Monday that Clark had made disparaging comments to Hawthorn-listed player Teia Miles about his sister, who is Duncans partner, during a VFL game last month.Scott confirmed the exchange had occurred, but said both players had moved on.Thats an extraordinary stretch to suggest that this would have any impact on his position on the list ... it would have almost no impact, Scott told Fox Footys AFL 360.Thats the significance of the issue - its very minor.Four weeks ago in a VFL game something was said that shouldnt have been said ... it wasnt a huge deal.Straight after the game the players, the relevant parties, spoke ... apologies were made and accepted and everyone moved on.Four weeks later the story has got out, so unfortunately for the people concerned its got to be regurgitated but in terms of player relations at Geelong things are very healthy.Clark, who has fought a public battle with mental health issues in recent years, played his first AFL game for the Cats last week since round nine last season after overcoming a serious calf injury.Scott said the incident was so minor that no penalty would be handed down.I didnt even know about it until (Monday), he said.And our senior administration didnt know about it because - as you would hope - when two guys have a bit of a disagreement they sit down, talk about it, shake hands and move on, which is what happened four weeks ago.Wed prefer it didnt happen obviously, but in the scheme of things I think its been handled well by the relevant people. Wholesale Nike Zoom . -- New England Revolution goalkeeper Matt Reis is retiring after a 16-year career to become the goalie coach for the Los Angeles Galaxy. Nike Zoom Buy Online . Robredo, ranked No. 16, bounced back from an upset loss to Leonardo Mayer in the second round of the Royal Guard Open in Chile last week to down Carreno Busta in 1 hour, 25 minutes.

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. -- No. 15 Purdue kept making No. 3 Villanova hold its breath Monday night.Josh Hart made sure the Wildcats followed the same old beat.The preseason All-America guard scored 24 points, made big shot after big shot and calmly sank the final four free throws of the game to help the defending national champions hang on for a 79-76 victory.Josh just said to me at the beginning of the second half that `we got this, Wildcats coach Jay Wright said. Thats the real strength of this team -- the leadership. I think thats what you saw the start of the second half.Villanova (2-0) has won eight straight games, including the six NCAA Tournament wins that led to last seasons national championship. And as far as early-season victories go, this was about as big as they come.Purdue had won nine straight on its home court and had only lost one previous November game since Matt Painter took over as coach in 2006-07.The difference was Villanova had Hart, who finished three points short of his career high, and the Boilermakers didnt have an answer.We had to do a better job on Josh Hart, Painter said. Their overall toughness is among the best in the country.Purdue sure didnt make it easy on the Wildcats, who made their first seven shots of the second half and charged to a 56-45 lead.The Boilermakers rallied behind Isaac Haas and Caleb Swanigan, who combined for five straight baskets during a flurry that pulled Purdue to 61-60. Haas scored 18 of his 22 points in the second half, and Swanigan had 20 points, eight rebounds and four assists.But with Harts shooting and the Wildcats stout defense, the Boilermakers never took the lead, never tied the score and couldnt make either 3-pointer that could have forced overtime in the waning seconds.This game was huge for us, playing a great team, a very disciplined team in that crazy environment, Hart said.Darryl Reynolds had 12 points and eeight rebounds for Villanova.

Now theyve got five games over the next 15 days, three more by Sunday, to get everything in sync.Purdue: This early test showed the Boilermakers can play with the big boys. Beating them might still be a challenge if they dont find more perimeter shooting.COUNT ITThe Boilermakers erased a 39-34 deficit in the final 40 seconds of the first half with a layup from Swanigan and after Vince Edwards scooped up a loose ball and got it to guard P.J. Thompson, who banked in a buzzer-beating 3 from midcourt to tie it. The crowd went wild long before a replay review confirmed the original call that it counted.RARE AIRPurdue is 12-14 when facing a defending national champ. But having one from outside the Big Ten visit West Lafayette is a rarity. Since hosting UCLA for the opening game on Dec. 2 1967, it had happened only one other time before Monday: Against Louisville on Jan. 18, 1987. UCLA won the first game 73-71, but the Boilermakers beat Louisville 88-73.POLL IMPLCATIONSVillanova: The Wildcats proved theyre worthy of a high ranking with a quality road victory but will be hard-pressed to move up unless No. 1 Duke or No. 2 Kentucky lose.Purdue: The Boilermakers arent likely to slide much, if at all, after coming within a basket or two of upsetting a top-5 team.UP NEXTVillanova: On Thursday, the Wildcats face Western Michigan in Charleston, South Carolina, as they begin chasing a fourth straight in-season tourney title.Purdue: Hosts Georgia State on Friday, marking the return of former IUPUI coach Ron Hunter.
