Miller says he's done with Olympics

Skiing
Even if he still is skiing World Cup in 2010, Bode Miller says he won't be skiing in another Olympics, not after his "terrible" experience in the last one. "It's highly doubtful that I'll be racing in 2010," America's top skier said in an interview yesterday, "and even if I am racing in World Cup, I wouldn't go [to the Olympics]. There's too much emphasis on winning," he said during an appearance at BodeFest in Bretton Woods, N.H., a charity ski event . . . Mike Morin resigned as US Ski Team men's slalom and giant slalom head coach and will be replaced by assistant Sasha Rearick.

College basketball

The NCAA reversed itself and threw out three violations and part of a fourth that occurred under former Ohio State basketball coach Jim O'Brien because the association's enforcement staff missed a deadline for filing charges. The university said penalties imposed because of the violations -- including NCAA probation and erasing all references to its 1999 Final Four appearance -- will stand. O'Brien was fired June 8, 2004, six weeks after he revealed to then-athletic director Andy Geiger that he lent $6,000 to recruit Aleksandar Radojevic in 1999. A subsequent investigation by Ohio State determined seven NCAA violations had occurred while O'Brien was coach.

Jeff Green and Roy Hibbert, the juniors who led Georgetown to the school's first Final Four appearance in 22 years, will submit their names for the NBA draft.
