The Associated Press SAN FRANCISCO A fed- eral appeals court upheld the dismissal of antitrust claims in a lawsuit by the city of San Jose against Ma- jor League Baseball, which accused the sport of ille- gally blocking a proposed move of the Oakland Ath- letics to the area. A three-judge panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled unani- mously Thursday that the claims were barred by baseball's antitrust exemp- tion, established by the U.S. Supreme Court in 1922 and upheld in 1953 and 1972. San Jose sued MLB in June 2013 for conspir- ing to block the relocation. San Jose is in Santa Clara County,partoftheSanFran- cisco Giants' territory under MLB's constitution. The city said the territory rules vio- lated federal antitrust laws. U.S. District Judge Ron- ald M. Whyte dismissed most of San Jose's claims in October 2013 but ruled the city could move forward with its count that MLB il- legally interfered with an option agreement between the city and the A's for land. "The city of San Jose steps up to the plate to challenge the baseball in- dustry's 92-year old ex- emption from the antitrust laws," Judge Alex Kozinski wrote. "It joins the long line of litigants that have sought to overturn one of federal law's most endur- ing anomalies." Kozinski said only Con- gress or the Supreme Court could determine the fate of the exemption. In conclud- ing, Kozinski gave a nod to Ernest Thayer's poem "Casey at the Bat." "Like Casey, San Jose has struck out here," the judge wrote. Judges Barry G. Silver- man and Richard R. Clif- ton also sat on the panel, which heard oral argu- ments in August. San Jose Mayor Sam Liccardo said the city "has nothing but upside to con- tinue to pursue this to the Supreme Court."

On the air Warriors coach Steve Kerr has called Green the team's heartbeat, vo- cal leader and just about every other sports cliche that the former TNT broad- caster typically avoids. He has simply run out of ways to describe Green, whom Kerr first became enam- ored with while watching a Warriors game on tele- vision. "It came right through the screen," Kerr said. "He was the heart and soul of the team." In his first two years with the Warriors, Green provided key minutes off the bench and became a favorite of former coach Mark Jackson. But it wasn't until two-time All- Star power forward David Lee missed 24 of the first 25 games this season with a strained left hamstring that Green got a chance to win the starting job. Green enters Friday night's game at Oklahoma City averaging 11.8 points, eight rebounds and 3.8 as- sists. The 6-foot-7, 230-pound forward has played big- ger than his size, giving Golden State the defensive force it has been missing alongside center Andrew Bogut. He has stretched the floor with an improved 3-point shot, and those around him rave about in- tangibles that don't show up on stat sheets. Green's game is gener- ated by the same method that helped him win two state titles at Saginaw High School (Saginaw, Michi- gan), reach two Final Fours at Michigan State and take home Big Ten Player of the Year honors as a senior. It's the same blueprint that has made him a contender for the NBA's Most Improved Player award and All-De- fensive team. Green just outworks people — and lets them know about it. He has jawed with LeB- ron James, exchanged words with Kevin Garnett and mixed it up with Blake Griffin. His scrappy play and feisty attitude can be so jarring, teammates say, that some opponents don't like to play against him. "There've been numer- ous guys that say their strengths are the post game, but they don't want to post him up. They end up floating to the perime- ter, or vice versa, because he's just annoying defen- sively," Bogut said. Green FROM PAGE 1 comes to the 49ers' Levi's Stadium. "This franchise has quite a few (champion- ships). Yeah, I've got it. Tough act to follow," Tom- sula said. "I fully under- stand that. Anything short of that, we didn't achieve what we were expected to achieve." CEO Jed York has stressed since Harbaugh's exit that the 49ers needed a coach who'll win with class. Asked what that means to him, Tomsula said: "The difference between confi- dence and arrogance is ig- norance. There's a fine line from crossing from confi- dence to arrogance." Tomsula was the 49ers' interim coach when they also ended the 2010 sea- son by beating the Cardi- nals. His only other head- coaching role came in the now-defunct NFL Europe, with the 2006 Rhein Fire. Tomsula wouldn't re- veal who he is eying as the 49ers' new coordinators, nor would he comment on who's left or who's arriv- ing on staff. Baalke said he's helping formulate "our staff" but ultimately Tomsula would decide its makeup. Greg Roman has left to become the Buffalo Bills' offensive coordinator, and Vic Fangio was released from his contract Wednes- day night as defensive co- ordinator, along with sec- ondary coach Ed Donatell, linebackers coach Jim Leavitt and several other assistants. Since arriving with Har- baugh in 2011, Fangio has had autonomy over a de- fense that's perennially ranked in the top five in yards allowed and top 10 in scoring. York declined to comment on why Fangio or any other candidates were passed over in favor of Tomsula, whose familiar- ity was not the only factor in his hiring, York added. Tomsula was inter- viewed twice before York informed him Wednes- day morning he was their choice as the 19th coach in franchise history. At least eight other candidates were interviewed during the 17-day search. "It was always honest," Tomsula said. "I can't say there was a lot of commu- nication. There were meet- ings and I knew they were on the road. I didn't ask where and they didn't tell me where." With all wearing red ties and suits, Tomsula sat be- tween Baalke and York at a table inside Levi's Sta- dium's auditorium with nearly 100 media present. Among those expected to be retained on staff are quarterbacks coach Geep Chryst, running backs coach Tom Rathman and offensive assistants Mick Lombardi and Ejiro Evero. 49ers FROM PAGE 1 is to win championships." The Raiders interviewed at least seven candidates but only Del Rio got a for- mal second interview. He emerged as the favorite af- ter Denver's season ended Sunday with a playoff loss to Indianapolis and he got the job a few days later. This marks the second straight time the Raiders hired a Denver defensive coordinator as their coach. Allen spent one year run- ning the Broncos defense before being hired by gen- eral manager Reggie McK- enzie in 2012. He went 8-28 before getting fired last season. Del Rio grew up in the East Bay, went to Raiders games as a kid and even played a high school cham- pionship game at the Coli- seum. His parents are still season-ticket holders and now will get the chance to watch their son coach their favorite team. Del Rio has been defen- sive coordinator in Denver for the past three seasons, helping the Broncos win three straight AFC West titles. Denver ranked third in total defense and tied for 16th in scoring defense this past season. The Bron- cos were third in total de- fense and 10th in scoring defense in Del Rio's three years with the team. Before that, he was head coach in Jacksonville for nine seasons. Del Rio had a 68-71 regular-season re- cord with the Jaguars and made the playoffs in 2005 and 2007, winning one playoff game in his second postseason trip. He was fired with five games re- maining in the 2011 season. "Jack Del Rio brings a strong leadership pres- ence to this organization," McKenzie said. "He has de- veloped an excellent repu- tation as a coach in this league and we are happy that he is a Raider." Del Rio's tenure in Jack- sonville was marked by the inability to find a top- flight quarterback or pass rusher. The Jaguars had eight starting quarter- backs during that time and only once did one throw at least 20 TD passes in a sea- son — David Garrard had 23 in 2010. He also never had a player record more than 10 sacks. Those two positions are the bright spots on the Raiders with rookies Khalil Mack and Derek Carr look- ing like building blocks for the franchise. Mack, the fifth overall pick last year, was one of the top outside linebackers in the league last season and had 52 quarterback pressures, according to Pro Football Focus.
