Long before he began recruiting future NBA No. 2 draft pick Michael Beasley for Kansas State, Dalonte Hill said he grasped something important about the player's personality. Beasley, Hill noticed, wasn't responding well to college coaches' incessant pitches — to all the phone calls and letters certain to find their way to young basketball prodigies such as Beasley. "People didn't know this about his recruitment, but if you pressure him, he goes into a shell," said Hill, a former coach in the D.C. Assault summer-league program in which Beasley starred.

So where do all the accusations and counter-accusations between sports agent  Joel Bell and basketball player Michael Beasley leave Maryland assistant coach Dalonte Hill? Does it change anything for Hill at all? I'm told Maryland has been pleased with Hill and continues  to feel that way. You all know by now that Beasley has accused Bell in a civil action of teaming with Curtis Malone  -- co-founder of the DC Assault summer  basketball program - to ultimately secure for  Bell the right to represent Beasley.

It's all over — oh, right, it never started — in Minnesota, where scorned Timberwolves general manager David Kahn gave away Al Jefferson, whereupon coach Kurt Rambis began yo-yoing Kevin Love. Or it's just starting, one or the other. Love just played long enough to average 21 points and 17 rebounds over six games, including his 31-31 against the Knicks. Meanwhile Michael Beasley, stolen from the Heat for two No. 2 picks, averaged 30 points.

WASHINGTON - - Ernice Beasley answered the phone at her Northwest Washington home Monday afternoon to the terrified screams of her 14-year-old daughter. "Mommy, I'm dying! Mommy, the train just crashed!" Lanice Beasley shouted as she lay covered with debris, unable to feel her legs. Lanice, who is being treated for her injuries in the intensive care unit of a Washington hospital, was among the more than 70 passengers injured in Monday afternoon's Metro train crash in Washington that killed nine people - the transit system's deadliest accident in its 33-year history.

Heat rookie Beasley fined $50,000 pro basketball Miami Heat rookie Michael Beasley was fined $50,000 by the NBA yesterday for his involvement in an incident at the Rookie Transition Program this month. The NBA also said Beasley failed to cooperate with a league investigation of the matter, which also involved the Heat's Mario Chalmers and the Memphis Grizzlies' Darrell Arthur. Arthur and Chalmers, former Kansas teammates, were fined $20,000 apiece last week after being banished from the rookie symposium.

For the first time in NBA history, three freshmen were taken with the first three picks of the draft Thursday night. If Derrick Rose, Michael Beasley and O.J. Mayo turn into All-Stars, it will be a memorable day for the league. And it will be yet another sad day to look back on for the NCAA. Rose, Beasley and Mayo should have been in the NBA a year ago. But the league's new age restrictions forced them to spend a year on a college campus, biding their time until they could become eligible for the draft.

Meredith Smith had the basketball program at Baltimore's old Southern High rolling in the early 1990s, when the Bulldogs won three state titles in four seasons. "Smitty" also saw to the academics of his players, as Corey Beasley (Boston College), Kwame Evans (George Washington), Johnny Hemsley (Miami), Melvin Scott (North Carolina) and other Bulldogs didn't need prep school to be eligible as freshmen. Smith will lean on that background as he attempts to revive the dormant program at UMES, where he was named interim coach in March.
