PISCATAWAY, N. http:///...an-nationals-jersey/ .J. -- Embattled incoming athletic director Julie Hermann plans to visit Rutgers this week, a university spokesman said Monday. The details of her itinerary have not been set. The selection of Hermann to run the universitys sports department has been under fire since it was revealed a little more than a week ago that players on the University of Tennessee volleyball team she coached in 1997 complained she had been verbally and emotionally abusive. They said in a letter at the time that she called them "whores, alcoholics and learning disabled." The allegations come in the aftermath of the uproar that left Rutgers searching for a new athletic director. Predecessor Tim Pernetti was forced to resign in early April, days after mens basketball coach Mike Rice was fired for physically and verbally abusing his players during his three-year tenure. Hermann, who is scheduled to start at Rutgers on June 17, has denied the allegations. She said that she had not heard of the letter until last week. University President Robert Barchi has said Hermann remains his choice to lead Rutgers into the Big Ten Conference in 2014. While state politicians have called for Hermann to step aside, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie has said he will not micromanage Rutgers, adding he has complete confidence in Barchi. Opponents of Hermann said she was not vetted properly. Some members of the selection committee said they had little or no say in the choice until they were informed that Hermann and Sean Frazier, the deputy athletic director at Wisconsin, were the finalists. Hermann had spent the previous 16 years as the No. 2 athletic administrator at Louisville. The universitys board of governors has the right to replace Hermann, but the school would probably owe her $2.25 million based on her five-year, $450,000 contract. Hermann was chosen May 15 as the Scarlet Knights first female athletic director. Rutgers problems started in December when Rice was suspended three games and fined $75,000 by the school after a video of his conduct at practices was given to Pernetti by Eric Murdock, a former assistant coach. The video showed numerous clips of Rice firing basketballs at players, hitting them in the back, legs, feet and shoulders. It also showed him grabbing players by their jerseys and yanking them around the court. Rice can be heard yelling obscenities and using anti-gay slurs. The controversy went public in April when ESPN aired the videos and Barchi admitted he didnt view them in the fall. Rice was fired and Pernetti, assistant coach Jimmy Martelli and interim senior vice-president and university counsel John Wolf resigned. http:///...on-nationals-jersey/ .

Numbers Game examines the deal that sees Michael Del Zotto and Kevin Klein switch places. The Predators Get: D Michael Del Zotto.DALLAS -- The Dallas Mavericks have made their biggest free agent play in a busy off-season, adding shooting guard Monta Ellis to a backcourt thats still crowded even after a couple of setbacks. Mavericks owner Mark Cuban said in an email Saturday that Ellis has agreed to a contract. It is reportedly a three-year deal valued between $25 million and $30 million. The deal with Ellis was reached after first-round pick Shane Larkin broke his right ankle in summer league practice Friday. Dallas also reportedly is backing out of a three-year, $9 million deal with Devin Harris because of a toe injury. Ellis figures to start alongside point guard Jose Calderon, another free agent who signed a four-year, $29 million deal. The 27-year-old Ellis averaged 19.2 points with Milwaukee last season but had the lowest 3-point shooting percentage among eligible players at 28.7 per cent. Calderon had the highest at 46.1 per cent. Ellis began his career with Golden State and was on the team that shocked the 67-win Mavericks in the first round of the 2007 playoffs. He started five of the six games against Dallas but came off the bench in all five games of a second-round loss to Utah. Ellis didnt return to the playooffs until last season with the Bucks, who were swept by Miami in the first round. http:///...er-nationals-jersey/. The Warriors traded him to Milwaukee late in the 2011-12 season, and he declined an $11 million option to return to the Bucks. The Mavericks still have a glaring need at centre after Dwight Howard chose Houston and Andrew Bynum went to Cleveland. Dallas figures to sign a centre from a dwindling list of alternatives topped by Samuel Dalembert. Even without Larkin and Harris, who started his career in Dallas as a No. 5 pick nine years ago, the Mavericks will open camp with at least five newcomers at guard after deciding they werent happy with the one-year experiment of Darren Collison and O.J. Mayo last season. The Mavericks added another free agent in Gal Mekel, the second Israeli-born player in the NBA. He played professionally in his home country after a two-season stint at Wichita State that ended in 2008. Dallas took two guards in last months draft. The Mavericks traded down twice and ended up with Larkin, the son of Hall of Fame shortstop Barry Larkin, at No. 18. In another trade for the 43rd pick, they got Ricky Ledo, who sat out his only season at Providence for academic reasons.
