Page 2B SPORTS East Oregonian Rodeo Wednesday, August 16, 2017 Basketball NBA addresses rest issue with 2017-18 schedule Furr’s on fire By TIM REYNOLDS Associated Press North Carolina bullfighter wins Farm-City BFO By TED HARBIN Bullfighters Only Media HERMISTON – Kris Furr made the most of a week of Bullfighters Only competition. After winning the champion- ship at BFO-Sidney, Iowa, the North Carolina man followed it in a dominating fashion, claiming the BFO-Hermiston championship through the two-day competition last week. He’s now No. 5 in the Pendleton Whisky World Standings. “It feels great to win both those events,” Furr said. “The one thing I wanted to do was be consistent. I don’t want to be just the middle of the pack. I want people to know I’m a competitor and that I’m there to win.” He did just that at the event held in association with the Farm-City Pro Rodeo. Furr won both go-rounds to walk away with the overall championship. In all, he walked away with $3,500 in Hermiston, which shot him up the standings. He won the first round with an 84-point fight against WAR Fighting Bulls’ War Party, then maneuvered around WAR’s Wolverine for 85 points to earn the second-round victory. “I’ve been dying to get in front of WAR’s bulls,” Furr said. “I’ve seen a bunch of videos of those bulls, and they just look fun to get around. I was glad I got a shot and came out on top.” In his few days off between Sidney and Hermiston, Furr found some time to work on his game. “I met (fellow bullfighter) Dayton Spiel in South Dakota, and we went to the gym while we were there,” he said. “I figured out what I was messing up on jumping those bulls in Sidney, and I fixed that.” It paid off. “My first bull was one bullfighters would love to have every day,” Furr said. “I had to drag all the points out of my second bull that I could, but it worked out for me. The goal is winning the BFO world championship, and while No. 1 man Weston Rutkowski has a big lead in the Pendleton Whisky World Standings, at least Furr has a shot. That’s all he can hope for as a first-year bullfighter in the BFO. ———— HERMISTON RESULTS First round: 1. Kris Furr, 84 points on WAR Fighting Bulls’ War Party; 2. Justin Josey, 74; 3.

His request to the NBA was not unique: Bird wanted the league to eliminate the dreaded stretches of four games in five days. What made Bird’s pitch memorable was that it didn’t just cite the demand of so many games in such a short amount of time, but also pointed out how the anxiousness caused by such tests can hurt a team before- hand and how the fatigue lingers long afterward. “What he said to me has been ringing in my head ever since,” said Tom Carelli, the NBA’s senior vice president for broadcasting. Carelli and the rest of the NBA schedule-making gurus were unable to make Bird’s request reality — until now. With an extra week of days to play with, along with some much deeper looks at arena availability and ways to try to help competitive balance, the NBA believes the schedule released Monday should be the most user- friendly in the league’s history. The four-games-in-five-days challenges? Eliminated for the first time in NBA history. Back-to-backs? Only 14.4 per team on average, an all-time low for the third straight year. Single-game road trips, average miles traveled and time zones crossed? All down a bit as well. “I think at this point, and frankly the minute we got the extra week, we could conclude the schedule This March 4, 2017, file photo shows Cleveland’s Kyrie Irving, left, LeBron James, cen- ter, and J.R. Smith, right, watching from the bench during a game in Miami. AP Photo/Lynne Sladky is really, undebatably, the best basketball schedule we’ve ever had,” said Evan Wasch, the NBA’s senior vice president for basketball strategy and analytics. “That’s what the week affords you, the opportunity to focus on all these different metrics.” The extra week, which allows the regular season to start Oct. 17 — the league’s earliest start since 1980 — was an obvious help. But schedule makers went further, taking a deeper-than-usual look at arena availability around the league and trying to minimize the nights where a weary team will face a well-rested opponent. In other words, NBA fans, meet FTE. The metric — an acronym for Fresh, Tired and Even — is a major part of the NBA schedule process. It’s a way the NBA has charted how tired one team will likely be when facing another. FTE has been part of the NBA’s internal charting for years, but wasn’t often discussed openly or with teams. “If a team plays the night before and its opponent didn’t, then one team is tired and its opponent is fresh,” Wasch said. “That fresh- tired ratio will be lower than ever. It’s hard to measure and track when you build a schedule manually, but it’s easy to track when building one with optimization software.” Instead of asking teams for 50 possible home dates for their respective buildings — the past standard — schedule makers like Carelli, Wasch, Chris Boghosian, Gene Li and Hao Meng instead checked every available date and tried a much broader look at how the puzzle might fit. Their work might be particularly noticed on ABC games this season. Last season, when stars like LeBron James, Kyrie Irving, Kevin Love, Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, Draymond Green and Andre Iguodala all were given nights off when the Cavaliers or Warriors were playing nationally televised games on ABC, there was no shortage of scorn. This season, teams playing in those marquee ABC games will have a day off both before and after those contests. “The more information we got, the easier it was to reduce back-to- backs,” Carelli said. The changes aren’t only to benefit players and teams. The league this year will be labeling the schedule by week — Week 1, Week 2, so on, from Monday to Sunday. It’s essentially a idea at presenting fans, and fantasy players, with a schedule that’s broken down into smaller bites. “It’s progress. It’s all part of a larger basket of progress,” Carelli said. There will undoubtedly be some schedule griping. No one is claiming perfection. Improvement, for now, is enough, and that extra week of room being built into the season is already making an impact — even though the first real games are still two months away. “We don’t get scored,” Carelli said. “We don’t necessarily win or lose, which is nice. The bottom line is that our primary, secondary, whatever goal it is, our goal is about the game. Our goal is about doing the best we can to create the most competitively balanced schedule we can for all the teams.” NFL Carroll supports Bennett but thinks Seahawks should stand By TIM BOOTH Associated PRess RENTON, Wash. — Seattle Seahawks coach Pete Carroll said Tuesday that he supported Michael Bennett’s decision to sit during the national anthem while also saying he believes players should stand for “The Star-Spangled Banner.” Bennett’s actions were a primary topic of conversation for Carroll two days after Bennett sat on the bench during the anthem before the preseason opener against the Los Angeles Chargers. Bennett didn’t inform Carroll or his teammates of his decision to sit while the rest of the Seahawks stood locked arm-in-arm on the sideline Sunday. “It’s easy for me to support him in his issues. But I think we should all be standing up when we’re playing the national anthem,” Carroll said. Bennett said after the game that the violence in Charlottesville, Virginia, including the death of a woman who was struck by a car deliberately driven into a group of counter-protesters, solidified his decision. “I can appreciate a man that no matter what the circumstances are, no matter what people are going to think, no matter what people are going to say, his morals and what he thinks is right to him, he’s going to stand up for it,” teammate Cliff Avril said. Carroll said he’s met with Bennett on a couple of occasions since Sunday to talk about Carroll his actions. “We’ve talked a lot about all that is going to come to him and listened very carefully to people’s perspective and stay very true and stay very much in the middle so he doesn’t get captured one way or the other by somebody else’s concerns, somebody else’s issues,” Carroll said. “I’ll continue to support him and help in every way. We’ll visit regularly and hopefully all make sense of the things that come his way.” Bennett was at least the third prominent NFL player to protest during the anthem in the first full week of preseason games. Oakland Raiders running back Marshawn Lynch, a former teammate of Bennett’s in Seattle, also sat. Los Angeles Rams defensive end Robert Quinn raised his right fist, continuing his approach from last season following then-San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick’s decision to kneel during the anthem. Kaepernick is a free agent, and the fallout from his protest has not abated, even as he remains unsigned. Bennett B e n n e t t ’s action was receiving strong support from team- mates and his brother Martellus, a tight end for Green Bay. “I support Michael in everything he does. He’s very well-educated on what it is he wants to happen in the world and what he’s trying to communicate, and I think he does an awesome job,” Martellus Bennett said Tuesday. “I love him to death, and I think he’s very courageous in the position he’s in and the things that he says, and I’m very proud to be his brother and to see him make the impact that he does — not just with stances like that but the work that he does in the community, the type of father that he is.” Doug Baldwin was another player supporting Bennett. Baldwin spoke out on a number of issues a year ago when Kaepernick was kneeling during the anthem. Baldwin became emotional Tuesday when pointing out the topic of discussion compared to the ongoing issues of race in the country. “He made himself vulnerable. Now he’s put himself out there and I know what that’s like and sometimes it’s a scary position to be in and to me it is very brave,” Baldwin said. “Especially about a topic that he feels so deeply about, that I feel so deeply about. Injustice and inequality, whether you agree with it or not — that’s irrelevant. Somebody believes something, so I definitely think the way that he approached it was excellent, very methodical but also very brave.” NOTES: LB K.J. Wright was not with the team Tuesday because he was having a lingering knee issue examined, Carroll said. Surgery doesn’t appear necessary at this point. “He’s going through a little process to help his knee,” Carroll said. ... WR Paul Richardson was on the field for the light workout after leaving Sunday’s game with a sprained AC joint in his shoulder. Richardson likely won’t play Friday vs. Minnesota but is expected to be ready for Week 1. ... WRs Amara Darboah (sternum) and Baldwin (ankle) both returned to practice. ———— AP Sports Writer Genaro C. Armas in Green Bay, Wisconsin, contributed to this report.
