Wright, 60, won two na- tional championships with the Wildcats, in 2016 and 2018, and made four Final Four appearances, including this past season, where they fell to Kansas in the semifinal. He was named Naismith Coach of the Year in 2006 and 2016, and was inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame in 2021. Ford- ham’s Kyle Neptune, who spent 10 years under Wright as a video coordinator and assistant coach, is expected to be named his successor, according to reports. FOOTBALL Lanning excited by Ducks’ recent signings of Josh Conerly Jr., Kyler Kasper — Oregon added Josh Conerly Jr. and Kyler Kasper to its 2022 recruiting class last week, marking the two most significant signings thus far of Dan Lanning’s tenure. The five-star offensive lineman and four- star receiver, who is reclassifying from the class of 2023, are the No. 1 and 4 signees in Oregon’s class, respectively, based on their rating by 247Sports. Conerly, the No. 15 overall prospect and No. 2 offensive lineman in this year’s class, ad- dresses a position of need for the Ducks both in the short- term, as he becomes one of 14 scholarship offensive linemen, and long-term, with UO set to lose at least four players after the upcoming season. Kasper, who committed and signed on Sunday, similarly fills a need the Ducks have in 2022 and be- yond. The 6-foot-5, 195-pound receiver adds another target to a room that has 10 scholarship players. BASEBALL Mariners manager Scott Servais out due to COVID-19 — Seattle Mariners manager Scott Servais and third base coach Manny Acta both tested positive for COVID-19 and were away from the team beginning with Wednesday’s game against the Texas Rangers. First base coach Kristopher Ne- grón will serve as the acting manager. Negrón managed Seattle’s Triple-A affiliate last season before joining the ma- jor league staff this year. Seattle added Tacoma coach Zach Vincej, hitting coordinator C.J. Gillman and special assign- ment coordinator Dan Wilson to the bench as assistants for Wednesday’s game. Negrón said Servais was in good spirits and participated in morning meetings via video conference. — Bulletin wire reports POWERBALL The numbers drawn Wednesday night are: 20 30 45 55 56 14 as listed at oregonlottery.org and individual lottery websites Prep sports NBA playoffs THURSDAY Baseball: Gladstone at Madras, 4:30 p.m.; Colton at Culver (DH), 3 p.m. Softball: Madras at Gladstone, 4:30 p.m.; Sisters at Philomath, 4:30 p.m.; Santiam at Culver, 4:30 p.m. Boy tennis: Mountain View at Caldera, 4 p.m.; Sum- mit at Bend, 4 p.m.; Woodburn at Madras, 4 p.m.; Sisters at North Marion, 4 p.m. Girls tennis: Caldera at Mountain View, 4 p.m.; Bend at Summit, 4 p.m.; Madras at Woodburn, 4 p.m.; North Marion at Sisters, 4 p.m. Boys golf: Madras Invitational at Crooked River Ranch, 1 p.m. FRIDAY Baseball: The Dalles at Ridgeview (DH), 3 p.m.; Crook County at Hood River Valley (DH), 3 p.m.; La Pine at Harrisburg (DH), 2 p.m. Softball: Ridgeview at The Dalles (DH), 3 p.m.; Hood River Valley at Crook County (DH), 3 p.m.; La Pine at Har- risburg (DH), 2 p.m. Boy tennis: Creswell at Sisters, 4 p.m. Girls tennis: Creswell at Sisters, 4 p.m. Track and field: Bend, Summit at Oregon Relays, Hayward Field, Eugene, TBD; Mountain View at John Oliver Invitational, Central High School, TBD; La Pine at Phoenix Invite, TBD.

It once held a PGA Championship (1977) and the precursor to the Tour Championship (1988). “This relationship with Peb- ble Beach, long considered a national treasure, is a historic step forward for golf,” said Mike Whan, the CEO of the USGA. “In addition to elevat- W L Pct GB 9 3 .750 — 8 4 .667 1 8 4 .667 1 9 5 .643 1 4 8 .333 5 Tuesday’s Late Games Colorado 6, Philadelphia 5 San Diego 6, Cincinnati 2 Atlanta 3, L.A.

The Heat were the only team since James’ big playoff night against the Nets in 2014 that hadn’t had a player score 45 points in a game since. But- ler changed that, emphatically, while sticking to his credo of just doing “whatever it takes to help this team win.” Butler is unapologetically and manically driven, almost always grating on opponents and sometimes even grating on teammates — people are still talking about the dustup Butler had with Spoelstra and Udonis Haslem during an in- game huddle a month ago. But nights such as Tuesday remind the Heat of the level that But- ler can reach at this time of year, when a championship is all that matters. “I think you have to have that dark side, kind of that demeanor that you need to push other people to be bet- ter,” Heat point guard Kyle Lowry said. “But you also have to have the talent and work ethic to do it, right? You can talk about it, but if you’re not about it and you don’t show it, it’s different. He shows it. He shows it when he plays, he shows it when he comes to work. He’s always here. He’s on time and ready to do his thing and go out there and go to battle.” Butler’s statistical averages through the first two games of this playoff run for the top- seeded Heat: 33 points, 5.5 rebounds and 4.5 assists per game, on 60% shooting from the field and — most surpris- ingly — 56% from the 3-point line, an area that hasn’t ex- actly been a strength of his throughout this season. He’s gotten to the foul line more than any three of his Heat teammates have combined in the series, plus has committed only two fouls in 72 minutes of play. Again, though, he insists that this isn’t Bubble Jimmy. “We’re a different team and I’m a different player,” Butler said. “We’re better this way.” There is a work-life balance, even at this time of year for Butler. After Miami’s Game 1 win on Sunday afternoon, Butler talked about getting out of the arena quickly to spend time with his daughter before she went to sleep that night. Then, and only then, would he turn his attention toward Game 2. And in the hours before Game 2, he had his non-bas- ketball habits as well. He lis- tened to the Backstreet Boys. (“I’m a huge fan,” Butler said.) He had lots of his BigFace brand of coffee. (“Need it,” he said.) He played spades for a while. (“Rituals,” he said.) Then he showed up at the arena and dropped 45 on the Hawks, going on a personal 7-0 run in the final moments to clinch the win. Bubble Jimmy, Playoff Jimmy, whoever it was, the Heat just hope to see a lot more of him over the next few weeks. “A guy like Jimmy, he can play defense, he can play of- fense,” Lowry said. “He hasn’t had an opportunity to get to his championship yet, but that’s the goal. His ultimate goal is to win a championship and I think he will do what- ever it takes and be whatever type of player he needs to be to get that.” ing our Open championships, the USGA and Pebble Bach are committed to working together to ensure a more di- verse, welcoming and accessi- ble game.” Spyglass Hill, regarded as the toughest of the Pebble Beach courses in relatively calm conditions, will host the U.S. Senior Women’s Open and the U.S. Senior Open in consecutive weeks in 2030. As part of the commitment, the USGA and Pebble Beach plan to create internships and other career opportunities in golf, along with research into turf grass and water conser- vation. “Supporting youth educa- tion is a pillar of our commu- nity outreach and this part- nership will greatly expand opportunities for young peo- ple to pursue a career in this industry,” said David Stivers, CEO of Pebble Beach Co. The U.S. Open now has only 10 open slots through 2051, with the next available year in 2028. Of the current anchor sites, Oakmont has hosted the U.S. Open nine times, the most of any club, and the U.S. Open returns to the Pittsburgh-area course in 2025, 2033, 2042 and 2049. Pinehurst No. 2 in North Carolina is the newcomer, first holding the U.S. Open in 1999 and returning in 2005 and 2014. It has the U.S. Open in 2024, 2029, 2035, 2041 and 2047. Pinehurst also was cho- sen as a secondary headquar- ters for the USGA. The USGA still could have a fourth anchor site. Among the clubs said to be under consideration are Shinnecock Hills and Winged Foot, both in New York. Shinnecock Hills is hosting its sixth U.S. Open in 2026. Bodenhamer spoke only of multi-year commitments the USGA has. Oakland Hills outside Detroit recently was awarded U.S. Opens in 2034 and 2051, while Merion out- side Philadelphia has 2030 and 2050. “There so many exciting things to come down the road,” he said. “Every one of these long-term relationships are different. You’ll see more.” Continued from A5 “However you want to de- scribe it, who cares? He knows how to win. He knows how to help teams win. The game is played on both sides of the floor. It’s played with IQ. It’s played with toughness. It’s played with making plays in those winning moments. It’s not necessarily what every- body thinks it is.” It wasn’t Bubble Jimmy, either. Butler himself shot down that comparison. That moniker comes from when Butler was Miami’s best player at the NBA’s season-re- start bubble at Walt Disney World two years ago, when he carried the Heat on an improbable run to the NBA Finals. He’s still Miami’s best player, but this is a new version, he insists. “I’m a different player now than I was then and I’m OK with that,” Butler said. “I just always want to play basketball the right way and do whatever it takes to help this team, this organization win. That’s why they brought me here.” The previous time a Heat player scored at least 45 points in a game, before Tuesday, was nearly eight years ago — May 12, 2014, when LeBron James scored a team playoff record 49 for Miami in a win at Brooklyn. The previous time it hap- pened at home was March 3, West Los Angeles Colorado San Francisco San Diego Arizona lynne sladky/ap Miami Heat’s Jimmy Butler (22) goes to the basket and is fouled by Atlanta Hawks’ John Collins (20) during Game 2 of a first- round playoff series Tuesday night in Miami.
