For The Record

Announced
That he will remain at Florida, basketball coach Billy Donovan, three days after the Gators won their second straight national championship. Donovan was rumored to be considering the opening at Kentucky, where he was an assistant under Rick Pitino. (The job went to Texas A&M coach Billy Gillispie after Donovan's announcement.) Donovan has gone 261--103 in 11 years at Florida and built a hoops powerhouse at what was once predominantly a football school. He'll try to continue that success next season without juniors Corey Brewer, Taurean Green, Al Horford (above) and Joakim Noah, all of whom said last week that they will leave school early and declare for this summer's NBA draft.

Jumped
To West Virginia after a season as Kansas State's basketball coach, Bob Huggins. The 53-year-old Huggins grew up in Morgantown, W.Va., played for the Mountaineers from 1975 to '77 and began his coaching career as a graduate assistant there. He sat out the 2005--06 season after being fired by Cincinnati, and was given a six-year contract by Kansas State last year. (He must pay the Wildcats $100,000 for breaking the deal.) "I wanted to be here since I was a little kid," Huggins said at his introductory press conference. "Thanks for letting me come home."

Pleaded Guilty
To bank fraud and conspiracy to commit bank fraud, Olympic gold medalist Tim Montgomery. The sprinter, 32, who won 4 � 100-meter gold at the 2000 Games, was one of 11 people charged in New York in April '06 for allegedly depositing or possessing $5 million in stolen or counterfeit checks over a three-year period. Montgomery originally pleaded not guilty, but on Monday he reached a deal with prosecutors. He faces between 37 and 46 months in prison.

Swum
By 52-year-old Martin Strel, the entire length of the Amazon. Strel's unprecedented 3,375-mile voyage down the world's second-longest river took 66 days. The Slovenian (below)—who was also the first to swim the Yangtze, the Danube and the Mississippi—had to navigate waters that contained piranhas and bloodsucking fish. He suffered from several stomach ailments, which kept him from talking to reporters after he finished. "My dad's lying in his room," Strel's 26-year-old son, Borut, said. "He's O.K.; he's a tough guy."

Died
Of multiple stab wounds after an altercation at a bar in College Station, Texas, last Thursday, walk-on Rice guard Jonathan Bailey. Bailey, 22, and his twin brother, Janson, were involved in a fight in the bar; after the brawlers were asked to leave, the fight continued outside, where both Bailey brothers were stabbed. (Janson survived and was released from the hospital on Monday.) Police arrested Ronald Andrew Johnson Jr., 23, of College Station, on a murder charge. Said Rice coach Willis Wilson, "This is one of those life events you can never explain."

Suspended
For two weeks for making racist comments about the Rutgers women's basketball team, nationally syndicated radio host Don Imus. On April 4, the day after the Scarlet Knights were beaten by Tennessee in the national championship game, Imus referred to the mostly black team as "rough girls" and a collection of "nappy-headed hos." The remarks prompted calls for Imus's firing from the NAACP and the Reverend Al Sharpton; a spokesperson for CBS Radio, which owns the show, said the company was "disappointed" and that the comments were "completely inappropriate." Last Friday, Imus apologized on his show and did so again Monday on Sharpton's radio show. Later that day CBS announced Imus's show would be pulled from the air for two weeks beginning on April 16.

Declined
To renew the contract of coach Micheal Ray Richardson, the Albany Patroons of the Continental Basketball Association. After a March 27 playoff game Richardson insulted a fan with a gay slur and then made several insensitive comments during an interview with the Albany Times-Union, saying that he had "big-time Jew lawyers" working for him and that Jews are "hated all over the world, so they've got to be crafty." Richardson later apologized and said the remarks were not anti-Semitic: "I was giving compliments," he said. "It's like saying the NBA is 85 percent black." Said Patroons G.M. Jim Coyne, "I think he learned a lot of lessons, tough lessons. It doesn't mean he shouldn't coach again."

Ordered
By a panel of Swiss judges to reopen the doping case of tennis player Guillermo Canas, the Court of Arbitration for Sport in Lausanne. Canas, who beat Roger Federer twice last month, received a 15-month suspension from the CAS in 2005 after testing positive for a banned masking agent. (Canas, who maintains that he never knowingly took anything illegal, ingested the agent through medicine supplied by a tournament doctor. He returned to the ATP Tour last September.) Canas (left) appealed to the Swiss Federal Tribunal, which has jurisdiction over the CAS, and he is the first athlete to successfully challenge the court in its 23-year history. Canas will likely seek damages from the ATP but, said his agent Cedric Aguet, "our first ambition is to try to clear his name."
