The Arizona Wildcats women's basketball team has added another connection to the University of Tennessee on Monday. Coach Niya Butts has hired Alysiah Bond as director of basketball operations.

Bond held the same position at Tennessee from 1998 to 2001. Butts played there from 1996 to 2000.

Last season, Bond served as an assistant coach at Central Florida. She also was an assistant for a season at Murray State and two seasons at Tennessee State. She played point guard at Ohio State.

"I always admired the way she was professional, worked very hard, did her job well, but at the same time was connected and could relate to the players," Butts said.

Bond joins Brandy Manning, the recruiting coordinator, on Arizona's staff. Manning also spent last season at Central Florida.

DENVER — Athletes who bust out their "Free Tibet" T-shirts or raise their fists in a show of solidarity on the medal stand will be breaking the rules at the Beijing Olympics.

The IOC clarified its protest rules, saying that athletes' external appearance, clothing and gestures would be scrutinized. The IOC sent a six-point letter to the national Olympic federations in response to their request for interpretations of Rule 51.3 of the Olympic charter, which states that demonstrations are not allowed.

The letter expanded on the rule, saying: "The conduct of participants at all sites, areas and venues includes all actions, reactions, attitudes or manifestations of any kind by a person or group of persons, including but not limited to their look, external appearance, clothing, gestures, and written or oral statements."

CHICAGO — Pittsburgh Steelers first-round draft pick Rashard Mendenhall was robbed at gunpoint along the Chicago lakefront, his mother and agent said.

The former running back was not hurt in the robbery, during which two people stole Mendenhall's wallet and cellular telephone, his mother, Sybil Mendenhall, told the Chicago Tribune.

"He didn't get hit or anything, he didn't get hurt or anything," Sybil Mendenhall said. "He's fine."

● Chicago Bears running back Cedric Benson believes officers used excessive force against him and plans to fight charges he operated a boat while intoxicated and resisted arrest on a Texas lake over the weekend.

"He denies that he was intoxicated," attorney Brian Carney said Monday. "He denies that he resisted arrest."

Benson is scheduled to appear in Travis County Court on May 19.

CONCORD, N.C. — Just when Denny Hamlin thought things couldn't get any worse, he hurt his left hip playing basketball and could hardly walk when he arrived for testing at Lowe's Motor Speedway.

"I'd like to say I was going up for a dunk, but I think everybody knows that ain't true," Hamlin said.

The injury came roughly 24 hours after Hamlin led a record 381 of the first 382 laps at Richmond International Raceway, only to lose when he cut his right front tire.
