NC State junior forward Manny Bates will miss the rest of the season after suffering a right shoulder dislocation in the Wolfpack's win over Bucknell on Tuesday.

Blake James out as athletic director of Miami Hurricanes​


Miami athletic director Blake James is out with the school, two days after the Hurricanes' football team lost at Florida State. The school, which described James' departure as a mutual agreement to part ways, said in a statement that a national search for the next AD would begin immediately. The move comes about six weeks after school president Julio Frenk released a letter to the university community insisting he would increase his involvement with athletics and saying that "we are fully committed to building championship-caliber teams at The U." Football -- the biggest part of Miami's athletic brand -- has struggled again this season. Miami is 19-15 in coach Manny Diaz's three seasons, including 5-5 this season. The Hurricanes wasted an eight-point lead in the final minutes of a 31-28 loss to Florida State on Saturday. James was part of the decision-making group that hired Diaz in 2018, luring him away from a job at Temple that he'd held for less than a month. Diaz had been Miami's defensive coordinator under Mark Richt, and when Richt resigned on Dec. 30, 2018, the Hurricanes needed only a few hours before completing a deal with Diaz.
