For The Record

Died
Of pancreatic cancer, Jack Donohue, 70, the former coach of Canada's national basketball team. A Canadian—James A. Naismith—invented basketball, but a New Yorker, Donohue, put Canadian basketball in the big leagues. After coaching Lew Alcindor at Manhattan's Power Memorial high in the early 1960s, Donohue took over at Holy Cross College in Worcester, Mass., in '65, then became Canada's coach in '72. The Total Loss from Holy Cross, as Donohue called himself, led the previously moribund Canadian team to surprising fourth-place finishes at the 1976 and 1984 Olympics and a shocking gold medal at the '83 World University Games. Donohue was an even better raconteur than coach and became a popular motivational speaker after retiring from basketball in '88. He had been living outside Ottawa.

?Of undetermined causes, six-time NCAA track champion David Kimani, a senior at Alabama. The 25-year-old Kenyan collapsed while eating lunch in the school's dining hall last Wednesday and was taken to a hospital, where he died an hour later. Kimani, who came to the U.S. from Nairobi in 1997, won titles in the indoor 3,000, indoor 5,000 and outdoor 5,000. Last year he led the Tide to second place at the NCAA indoor championships. He is survived by his wife, Chamis.

Signed
By the Brooklyn Kings of the USBL, Kwame James, one of the American Airlines passengers who subdued would-be shoe bomber Richard Reid on a flight from Paris to Miami on Dec. 22, 2001. A Canadian citizen born in Trinidad, James, 25, played hoops at the University of Evansville from 1997-98 to 2000-01 and averaged 6.3 points and 3.7 rebounds in 115 games as a 6'8" power forward. He has lived in the U.S. since a brief stint with the NBA Developmental League, which cut him last year, and with his visa due to expire at the end of this month, James was in danger of being deported. He had four points and four rebounds in the Kings' season-opening 99-89 loss to Adirondack last Saturday. "He adds maturity and stability," says Kings coach Kenny Charles. "He's so unassuming—half of our squad doesn't even know what he did."

Rattled
By the exposed breasts of a female spectator, three players on the Norton Hill Rangers, an English soccer team. When the Morland Challenge Cup final between the Rangers and Wookey FC ended in a 0-0 tie, the teams went to a best-of-five penalty-kick shootout. Each time a Norton Hill player stepped up to take a shot, he was flashed by a 25-year-old Wookey fan standing behind the goal. Three kicks sailed over the bar—one landed in the parking lot—and Wookey won 3-2. "It definitely got to the lads," said Rangers captain Lee Baverstock.

Wounded
During the war in Iraq, Army lieutenants John Fernandez, 25, and Nick Bilotta, 24, captains of the West Point lacrosse teams in 2001 and '02, respectively. Fernandez (left), who played attack for the Cadets, was injured when his artillery platoon came under mortar fire about 30 miles southwest of Baghdad in the early morning hours of April 3. Doctors at Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington, D.C., amputated both his feet. Bilotta (right), who played defensive middie, took shrapnel in both legs. His father relayed news of Bilotta's injury to Army coach Jack Emmer last Thursday morning, and Emmer informed the team before practice. "It put a damper on everyone's day," says Mike Kamon, a co-captain of the 16th-ranked Black Knights, who expects to be sent to the Middle East after graduating in May (SI, April 14). "We try not to focus on it. A lot of guys are good friends with both of them, but we still have games to play. You have to keep going."
