son, who was fired by the Warriors on May 6 after a 51-win season and back-to- back playoff appearances in large part because of his sour relationship with team management. Warriors general man- ager Bob Myers said the team identified Kerr and former Miami Heat and Orlando Magic coach Stan Van Gundy at the begin- ning of their search. He said Kerr already was too deep in talks with the Knicks, where Phil Jackson took over as team president in March. "We were really just hop- ing to get an interview with Steve. And he rebuffed us in a very polite way," Myers said, chuckling. Then Van Gundy agreed to a $35 million, five-year deal with Detroit last week to coach the Pistons and oversee basketball opera- tions. Shortly thereafter, Kerr's agent, Mike Tan- nenbaum, called the War- riors and asked for a meet- ing. Myers, Warriors co- owner Joe Lacob, assis- tant GM Kirk Lacob, and director of player person- nel Travis Schlenk met with Kerr for more than three hours last Tuesday in Oklahoma City, where Kerr was calling the Thun- der-Clippers game. Myers and Lacob said the team's biggest questions were about Kerr's lack of coach- ing experience, which he outlined during a Power- Point presentation. "He blew our socks off," Lacob said. "Steve Kerr and Bob Myers together is my dream team. That is a dream team." Kerr FROMPAGE1 "Right out of the gate, they were like, 'Don't go to the Raiders. I know you want to follow your heart but, we've got a spot for you here.' But I know without a doubt this is the spot for me." Father and son knew this was a distinct possibility as the fifth round of the draft ended and no team had called. With two rounds remaining, they believed it might be better if the younger Atkinson wasn't drafted so he could make sure he could sign with the Raiders. While some sons might prefer to blaze their own trail in an organization with no connection to their fa- ther, the younger Atkinson had been waiting to put on a Raiders uniform ever since he was a kid. "I've looked up to this organization and this club for a long time and there was no part of that go- ing on with me," he said. "I've looked up to my dad and wanted to follow in his footsteps but also lead my own trail at the same time. You've got to find that bal- ance and that's what I'm trying to do right now." The elder Atkinson is a beloved member of the or- ganization for his hard-hit- ting play that epitomized Oakland's style of play in the 1970s. He had 30 career interceptions and helped Oakland win its first Su- per Bowl following the 1976 season. He was most famous for his hits on Swann, which led former Steelers coach Chuck Noll to refer to him as part of the "criminal ele- ment" in football. He is now a broadcaster fortheteambutmadeapoint of staying away from rookie minicamp last weekend. "He doesn't need that added pressure," the elder Atkinson said. "He's learn- ing a new game altogether. The pro ranks are a little bit different from high school and college. He needs time to focus on getting adjusted to the NFL. I don't need to be around. It's his time. I don't want to be a distrac- tion to him and the team." The opportunity to play with the Raiders took out much of the sting of going undrafted after skipping his senior season at Notre Dame. Atkinson FROM PAGE 1 by Hailee Nicholls and Molly Murphy. With the bases loaded Stefanie Brunello singled to plate two and push Red Bluff to the 8-4 lead. The Lady Spartans of- fense was as consistent as their 22-game winning streak, as Red Bluff scored in all but one inning off of Foothill pitcher Jessica Seely. Tayler Zazueta opened up the bottom of the first inning for Red Bluff with a walk. She moved over on a Sam Jones bunt single and then scored on a heads up base running play following a Foothill error. Jones would add a second run on a passed ball for an early 2-0 lead. Red Bluff tacked on an- other run in their second inning when Grannes got a rally going with a walk. She worked her way over to third base and scored on a Jones bunt. Foothill erased the def- icit in the top of the third inning, striking for three runs. Red Bluff came back to take the lead in their half of the third. Hethcoat singled to open the inning and three bat- ters later Brunello singled in a run, the first of her three RBIs, for a 4-3 Red Bluff lead. RedBluffgotwhatturned out to be the game winner in the fourth inning. Zazueta had a 1-out dou- ble then moved to third on another Jones bunt single. She came in to score on a wild pitch to make it 5-3. The only inning Red Bluff didn't score was the fifth in- ning when Allyson Drury got stranded on third fol- lowing a two-out triple. Foothill would only get one run back during their last three at bats despite plenty of opportunities. It leaves Red Bluff with the opportunity they've wanted since early April, another crack at Enter- prise and a chance for a sec- ond section title for the se- nior class. Finals FROM PAGE 1 By Brian Mahoney The Associated Press NEWYORK The Cleveland Cav- aliers continued their remark- able lottery luck Tuesday, win- ning the No. 1 pick in the NBA draft for the second straight year. It's the third time in four years the Cavs will be atop the draft after moving up from the ninth spot. They had just a 1.7 percent chance of winning the top selection. They drafted Kyrie Irving first in 2011 and will hope to do better with this win than last year, when they took Anthony Bennett, who had a forgettable rookie season. Even changing up their lot- tery representative couldn't change the Cavs' luck. Nick Gil- bert, the son of Cleveland owner Dan Gilbert, was on the podium for the previous two wins, but general manager David Griffin was there this time. Griffin was carrying one of Nick Gilbert's bowties, and it was as lucky in his breast pocket as it was with Nick wearing it. The Cavs can now choose among the likes of Andrew Wig- gins and Joel Embiid of Kansas, Duke's Jabari Parker, or an- other player from what's con- sidered a deep draft.
