RANDY MOSS SIGNS UP WITH THE USBL!!!!!!!
BETHLEHEM, Pa. (Reuters) - Minnesota Vikings receiver Randy Moss has
signed
a contract to play with the Pennsylvania ValleyDawgs of the United
States
Basketball League, the team announced on Tuesday. The ValleyDawgs
said Moss
was expected to join the team for Wednesday's practice and compete in
Thursday's game against the Long Island Surf at Stabler Arena.
Moss, who was twice named high school basketball player of the year
in West
Virginia, set a school record by scoring 1,713 points.
Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
With the Vikings, All-Pro receiver Moss has caught 43 touchdown
passes in
three seasons, including 15 TD catches last season when he had 77
receptions for 1,437 yards.
``I hear Randy has some serious game,'' ValleyDawgs head coach Darryl
``Chocolate Thunder'' Dawkins said in a statement. ''If he likes to
run, he
will like my style.'' Dawkins, who played 14 years in the NBA, said
he thought the 24-year-old
Moss would fit right in with the offensive-minded ValleyDawgs, who
are
averaging about 120 points per game.
``I encourage the fast break,'' he said, ``And I tell my guards to
throw
the alley-oop whenever it's there. Hopefully, Randy will be on the
receiving end of a couple Thursday night.''
Moss will become the second big-name athlete from another sport to
play in
the USBL. Light heavyweight boxing champion Roy Jones Jr. plays for
the
Lakeland Blue Ducks.
``This will be fun for our fans,'' said ValleyDawgs vice president
Sam
Unera. ``But at the same time, Randy is very serious about basketball
, and
so are we. We really think he can help our team win games.''
The ValleyDawgs are first in the Northern Division at 9-4.
The two most renowned two-sport athletes are Deion Sanders and Bo
Jackson,
both of whom have played in the NFL and Major Leagues Baseball.
Sanders is
currently with the Cincinnati Reds after completing the 2000 football
season with the Washington Redskins.
Other notable two-sport athletes include former television
personality
Chuck Connors, Dave DeBusschere and Gene Conley, all of whom played
in the
major leagues and NBA. The USBL regular season runs from late April
to the end of June. The ValleyDawgs have six games between Thursday
and June 4, the start of Vikings' mini camp. A Vikings spokesman
would not comment on Moss's basketball venture and said he expected
``everyone'' at both of the team's mini-camps from June 4-7 and June
11-13. Reporting day for training camp is July 29.
SURF'S UP -- CHARLES WANG FUNDS LONG ISLAND
Charles Wang, owner of the New York Islanders (NHL) and New York
Dragons
(AFL), has provided the necessary funding for the USBL's Long Island
Surf
to continue operations on Long Island. The League will continue to
own and
operate the franchise while Wang maintains a two-year option to take
an
ownership position in the franchise.

USBL 16th SEASON IMPLEMENTS NBA RULE CHANGES
The United States Basketball League has implemented the new NBA rules
for
its 2001 season.
The USBL has consistently played its games under NBA rules and will
employ
the new rule changes recently adopted by the NBA:
* A team will have 8 seconds rather than 10 seconds to advance the
ball
over the mid-court line.
* Zone defense will be allowed, but there will be a defensive 3
-second
rule.
* Incidental contact that does not impede a player with the ball will
be
permitted.
This will give the USBL fans and media who attend USBL games the
opportunity to see first hand how the rules may effect a professional
basketball game.

THE UNITED STATES BASKETBALL LEAGUE,
THE LEAGUE OF OPPORTUNITY
The USBL has provided an opportunity for players to improve and
showcase
their skills for the National Basketball Association and
International
clubs around the world. This league has been the springboard of many
of NBA
careers. The USBL season runs from late-April (to allow players who
have
concluded their collegiate careers and either have been drafted by
the USBL
or want to attend mini-camp) until mid-July (before the start of NBA
rookie
and free agent camps.) The USBL's rules are identical to the NBA's,
with
the added stipulation that each team carry at least three rookies on
its
twelve-player roster.
In addition to player development, the USBL offers excellent
opportunities
for coaches, referees and front office administrative personnel
seeking to
further their respective careers. Franchises also become more
involved with
their community by providing a professional sports team, which
becomes an
active vehicle for pleasure, community service and profit.
An emphasis on sound operations, proven business methods and a
commitment
to its players, coaches, owners and fans translates into winning a
successful formula for the USBL and everyone involved with "The
League of
Opportunity".
