Cal U promotes Kingdom

California University of Pa. president Dr. Angelo Armenti Jr. announced the promotion of former U.S. Olympic gold medallist Roger Kingdom to head coach of the men’s and women’s track & field and cross country teams.

Kingdom assumed the responsibilities as the interim coach in March 2005.

Bucks sign Bogut

MILWAUKEE (AP) – The Milwaukee Bucks signed No. 1 overall pick Andrew Bogut to a multiyear contract Friday.

Terms of the contract weren’t disclosed, but Bogut’s agent, David Bauman, previously said he expected the 7-foot center to get around $4.2 million in his first year.

The 20-year-old Australian, who earned college player of the year awards at Utah, will participate in the Bucks’ summer camp workouts and play in the Minnesota Summer League July 15-19, general manager Larry Harris said.

“This is a dream come true for me,” Bogut said. “I’ve worked extremely hard to get to this point and I’m honored to be a member of the Milwaukee Bucks organization.”

Harris said the team expects “a long and promising career for him with the Bucks.”

Bogut joins a team coming off its worst record (30-52) in nearly a decade.

Harris now will focus on re-signing top scorer Michael Redd and other free agents, and hiring a replacement for coach Terry Porter, who was fired last week.
