San Jose’s coach is paying for his outburst.
Sharks coach David Quinn has been fined $25,000 by the NHL for conduct demeaning to officials, according to a statement from the league. 
Quinn was ejected from Saturday’s game against the Capitals after losing his cool in front of the referees. 
San Jose’s coach launched into a wild NSFW tirade against referee Gord Dwyer following a hooking call against Sharks winger Kevin Labanc in the third period, resulting in an early end to his night on the bench. Dwyer issued Quinn a game misconduct for abuse of an official.

Jim Boeheim was relieved of his head coaching duties a few hours after the Syracuse men’s basketball team suffered defeat at the hands of a Wake Forest buzzer-beater in the ACC Tournament. After the game, Boeheim gave vague and opaque answers to questions about his future leading the program, and shortly after, the university announced he was being replaced by Adrian Autry. The unceremonious exit for Boeheim after 47 years as head coach leaves us with more questions than answers.

Russian and Belarusian players are now allowed to participate in the upcoming Wimbledon tournament following a ban imposed over Russian president Vladimir Putin’s war on Ukraine.
However, with the lifted ban comes several stipulations.
Announced Wednesday, the All England Club allowed Russian and Belarusian players to join this year’s tour after setting the ban last year as tempers ran high over the war in Ukraine. Wimbledon was the only major tournament to ban these groups.

Boeheim retired after nearly 50 years at the helm of the Orange.
Jim Boeheim’s decades-long tenure as the Syracuse men’s basketball coach came to an end on Wednesday following the Orange’s 77–74 defeat against Wake Forest in the ACC Tournament.
The nature of his departure was a bit bizarre, as the 78-year-old had told reporters after the loss that it was “up to the university” whether or not he’d remain at the helm. Hours later, it was announced that Adrian Autry would be replacing Boeheim.
