allen. allen. that's a tough shot. kept around. had a clans at it. [buzzer] >> mike: that will be the end of the first half. in boston and northeastern washing up tres condrey everetting at a 60%. 52% overall from the field. they're shooting better from three-point range. outrebounding george mason 14- 12 and chaisson allen leading the way with 14 points leading all scorers here in tonight's game. we're going to talk to the head coach now of the george mason patriots, jim larranaga. coach, allen and janning just knocking down tres. what can you do to try to stop it? >> we made a it a point of emphasis before the game. those two players of late at a very high level right now and our defense is just not contesting their three-pointers well enough. we let them get started early. that's the way they've played at home. we need to do a better job in the second half. >> coach, i think ryan pearson -- >> mark: coach, i think ryan pearson has it going in the poa. he's starting to settle for the jump shots. in the second harvetion do you think you'll try to gi

allen, the floater. count it for two. >> mark: that was a good move by allen to penetrate the lane and pull up in a tough area. that's the toughest shot to hit in college basketball and did he that with ease. >> mike: you talk about recruit you go. they're also playing to the players' strengths. i watched william & mary last night, and that team, theircoaching staff, they do a great job playing to the strengths of those players. they do a lot of pick and rolls, a lot of backdoor cuts. they shoot good shots. you don't look at them as being the best of all athletes, but they get it done. [ whistle ] >> mike: offensive foul. let's take a look here. this isth play by hancock here first off. >> mark: hancock saw lane and took the lane. he finished it very strong and then did an excellent job penetrating and getting wide open shots for allen to come down to pull up a teardropper in the paint. >> mike: foul on hancock. it's his first for george mason. >> mark: coming -- >> mike: coming up on 12:00 to go in the

allen against baptiste.llen so fluid, draws the foul and we will go to the free-throw free-throw. >> steve: tough match-up for baptiste there because lavoy allen has pretty good feet. he can put the ball on the floor and get to the basket. baptiste has to move his feet a little faster than that. he is a high school guy used playing in the low post and not used gartding somebody off the -- guarding somebody off the dribble like that. >> tom: baptiste is a good-sized kid. he was a let get as they say in college basketball for phil martelli. he will evolve into a good inside player. >> steve: he has to work on his offense a little bit. he doesn't have the confident. the more experience these guys get, the better they are going to be. >> tom: 15-point lead. allen trying to extend the lead. he does. 49-33 the score. under 11 minutes to play now in the second half. govens covered by ramone moore. two philadelphia kids going at it. govens is from chester but it is a suburb of philadelphia. govens, former player of

had been through, to take allen?> i remember thinking at the time, you know, it is a risk. yet, yet i know from talking to coach it wasn't as much of a risk as for some places. it wasn't as big a risk for a state system. private schools have the support. >> once your dad made a judgment -- this was a young man we were willing to give an opportunity to and to have a say in his development, we were prepare to take on that challenge. >> to see him sign at georgetown and go play basketball for coach thompson was one of the most happiest days of my life. because i knew then that he would be okay. >> what adjustment did you have to make from a coaching standpoint, coaching someone like allen iverson? >> i had to consider his well- being a person, how he played as a basketball player. because allen is a guy who is so talented you got to give him the opportunity to express his ability. >> he put me in a position to be on the basketball court, you know, before then talk t gewn eingbig ma hoola ow, ing tel cess hat em. so obvi

allen kept it there. find a streaking ojougboh for the nice, easy one-handed jam. >> mike: ojougboh. he has eight points, seven rebounds for the huskies here tonight. >> mark: i'm sure coach larranaga is not very pleased with how his team is performing tonight especially on the defensive end. i spoke with him earlier this morning at shoot around. i was talking they seemed like they were making a turn around once they had that big time loss against -- that was a wakeup call to them. i thought they would get to turning the corner and they had two imprelsive wins. tonight, is a letdown on the defensive end. >> mike: ojougboh a-fifth year senior, six career double- doubles from scottsdale, arizona. one year at texas, stone yoa. he did well on the west coast swing for northeastern as they started their run as they won five games in a row. in that five games on the west coast, starting off with a couple of those losses. he was 25-33 from the field. that's 75%. you get your big guys shooting like that, the score

allen with three. and we get a foul on florida state. and this one is on ryan reid, his first. >> larry: all the times i've seen jeff allen play, this is my opinion about him. i think he loves to challenge bigger players. i mean he's really an undersized guy, playing inside. but he sees somebody 6'8", 6'9", all the way up to 7'1", i think he relishes going in there and battling these guys. >> bob: you look at his pedigree, to hargrave, he's gone up against the best in his particular age group. and now a tough challenge each and every night in the acc. >> larry: and the fact that there's so many bigs in the acc this year, he's better in rebounding in the atlantic coast conference. >> bob: delaney backs it out. to the corner, and this will hit the glass from hudson. 3-2, florida state. dulkys, nice-looking stroke. >> larry: one of the things about shooters you've got to recognize is when they catch the ball, they square the shoulders in the feet immediately. he did that and it was a great follow-through and a good result. >> bob: dulkys dr

allen is good and everybody else chips in.e. >> tom: for them, they are going to run a little time off working against garrett williamson. off the screen by lavoy allen. nice hedge by o'brien. bounce pass down, low to a cutting lavoy allen and he is fouled. i don't know if you could design it any better than that. >> steve: no. that is as good as it get and there's no doubt fran dunphy made a point. they trapped the pick-and-roll and now they have to rotate and have different people running at the wrong guys and that is what happens. good play by the temple kids to get the ball to the basket like that. there's no doubt coming into this game, he was looking to get the ball inside more by getting it to eric and now to lavoy allen, who didn't start the game. >> tom: lavoy allen goes to the free-throw line as crosgile checks in for st. joseph with 6 seconds to play. lavoy allen 63% free-throw shooter. he didn't play the first 7 minutes of this ballgame. he now has 5 points and temple has a 10-point lead. largest lead of the half f

not a typical jeff allen night. he's a much better player than what we have witnessed. >> bob: he had only six points in the name here last season. 53-45. the clock is now becoming a big enemy for the hokies. they're content, larry, to stay in the zone. >> larry: i think they've got to come out of this. they're down eight right now, they've got to come out and get some shots. >> bob: the shot clock under ten now. kitchen and an illegal screen as singleton threw the elbow out, trying to pick off dorenzo hudson and singleton's got four personals.

bruce allen with the press conference at 12:30. i leave we will have it live here on fox 5. >> thank you for the late breaking investigation. are we from from -- we are not far from i should say. we are far from the latest on the jim zorn in 10 minutes we will go back out and audiocassette about it about more on what could be next for the redskins. >>> big day for the two wizards players involved in the gun scandal making headline. are expected to speak with the u.s. attorney's office and police for the first time today. both are accused of pulling ones on each other right before christmas. reportedly over a card game and gambling debt. the nba is also conducting its own investigation. >>> we are following a developing story out of yemen where the u.s. closed its embassy because of st. louis threats. white house officials say the terror group is actively planning an attack and they don't want to risk the diplomat maths over weekend. >>> that attempted bombing meaning new rules for international paysages. one congressman, if you to

chaisson allen with four three- pointers. matt janning with two. we'll come whack and -- back and show you the stats of this one here at the half. huskies lead by 12 over the patriots >> mike: the 2010 caa men's basketball championship march 5- 8 at the richmond coliseum. >> mike: halftime from northeastern. huskies with a 12-point advantage over the george mason patriots. thank you for being with us tonight for the caa matchup. george mason trying to stay undefeated. they have work to in the second half to see if they can stay that way. they're 3-0 in league play huskies on their tail. >> mark: they have work to do. it has to start on the defensive enend. it's not danger zone here. you need to -- they need to take care of the ball, but they need to push northeastern from the three-point line because they're shooting well from the three-point line and they have nine turnovers. you look at the three- pointdifference thearks where the lead is right there. >> mike: you heard coach jim larranaga talk about it when we talked to him before the beginning

their uncle served air force and army and allen was proud of them. he truly believed in the united states fought in a war was on the side of good. after all, the country fought fascism in world war ii after only despicable sneak attacks by turtle officious and evil enemies. now we were under attack by new enemies, and if we didn't all fight the economy is over there of a fight with end up here. but it didn't make sense to alan a guy like ronnie with a busted hand should even be in the army let alone the imam, so he started reading about vietnam and had taken a sociology course in college and by the time ronnie got to the delta earlier that year allen already felt the whole thing was bullshit. nevertheless it felt strange romney was fighting somewhere now and alan wasn't getting his back to a lesson he learned early when he got a whopping from his father when the then kids. walking back from selling an elementary school a decade before, a kid had run up to romney and told him he wanted to fight. radhi handed alan his books and told him to take them ho

allen says my fault to juan fernandez. >> steve: that's where fernandez was the last time, when allen the ball, a lot of times you slice down and get closer to the wing. that's what happens when. you sit on the bench for a long period of time. right nowallen and fernandez not on the same page. >> matt: a time-out as this place has just erupted. charlotte has an 8-point lied with 1:35 left to go. charlotte looking for their 15th win on the season, their 8th win at home, and looking to improve to 5-1 in a-10 play. if they pick up the win tonight, they'll be in a three- way tie with xavier and temple for first place. two guys that have led the way tonight, fill jones and chris braswell. braswell, i think that braswell has the softest hands. he's able to pick up that errant pass and lay it in. obviously he is an offensive threat, but really i think charlotte is in this game, winning this game with their defense here in the second half. >> steve: phil jones with 8 points, braswell with 13. charlotte 3, time-outs remaining. temple with just one. as we take a look at phil joan's numbers, wel

who stays in the bruce allen area? >> i think shanahan brings in his own guys. simmer is a guy who has been a defensive coordinator. they tell me mitchell has accepted the head coaches job down in baton rouge. going back home to our hometown. >> that's right. >> and i think they will be out looking for a lot of jobs. when the head coach goes normally the whole staff goes. with mike i think it will be different. >> all right. let's hope so. >>> and within minutes of the story breaking fans began powing comments on our facebook page. here are a few of the comments. sharon wrote, will a new coach really make a difference? roy says how many more coaching changes will the redskins go through before they get the right one? and paulette. says he was not the man for our team. we don't need nice, but we need tough and strong. the firing of jim zoran, we want to know who you want to see. you can find out our poll and more coverage at wusa9.com. let us hear from you. and of course we'll have more on the firings coming up throughout the day and after the break. stay with us

. >> allen, should we be more accommodating? >> accommodating? look, i kind of see where they are coming from. i mean we all know where the real terrorists. they are in the u.s. senate holding healthcare hostage, greg. why are these guys in mosques? there is tea parties. these people are angry and scary. >> somebody's rocking the talking points. >> greg: he is. chris, should the muslim community shop whining and just get it together and help our country more? >> that is exactly what i'm saying. i have yet to see rick levinthal put a barbecuing a n somebody's face and say thank you so much for turning in this terrorist. i have got to see one of these, some of these muslims come out and say i turned in this terrorist. >> greg: i would like to see rick levinthal out there in shorts down at the beach. >> that is bill keating's job. he wears the sandals in this country. >> to make the approach a little better and nicer they should make the burkas red, white and blue. >> you would welcome fbi scrutiny because that would mean people would actually care

they did release a statement, allen did, saying the status quo just not acceptable. the word is, right now, that mike shanahan is going to be, or likely to be, the next head coach. the redskins have been negotiating with the former broncos' head coach for months now. they are working on a deal that will likely make him the highest paid head coach in the nfl. shanahan, the minute that he returns to the league, he was the head coach of the broncos for 14 seasons before being let go and replaced there by young josh maniel, a former assistant with the patriots. shanahan, 14 seasons with the denver broncos. once he comes back, he will be the second most decorated head coach in the league. bill belichick, the only coach who has won more super bowls. shanahan did very well with the broncos when he had john elway. however, after elway left, mike shanahan won exactly one playoff game. if he were to be hired here by the redskins, he would likely be the primary decision maker, have a role very similar to what joe gibbs had when he was here. so i would say that it's safe to expe

and this time, it's on jeff allen. the first on the washington d.c. junior. i don't think it's surprising to any florida state fans, they're trying to go inside against this smaller virginia tech squad. and something that september greenberg can ill-afford is foul problems. >> larry: not nearly as deep as florida state. >> bob: ryan reid to the foul line. he's come in through in big games in conference play. you referenced that georgia tech win. one of the reasons that florida state won that game was the play of ryan reid. he went to atlanta and posted a career-best 17. really tough guy. >> larry: the only senior on this florida state squad. >> bob: dulkys rips it out of there. >> larry: great effort by dulkys

let's bring in allen may. i watch to talk about alex semin.what a run this kid has been on. 19 points in the last 11 games. what do you attribute that to? is it the juggling of the lines that bruce has done? >> i think he has finally found some great chemistry with someone other than ovechkin and backstrom, and i think now that he has his contract under control, he doesn't have to worry. he knows where he's at, and i think that's an important thing. >> there are a few people who are saying as well, he's put up his stats since his best friend has been given this the c. >> i don't think there's any pressure there. i think he just got on a roll and the team said it doesn't matter what anyone thinks, the coach is is establishing the lines. they've. playing very well with each other, all the four lines. >> these are two team toes that don't see each other very often. in fact, the last time they faced each other was in anaheim. a 6-4 washington capital win, and alex ovechkin picked up four points that night. how do you scout a team like this in are

it felt a bit like woody allen's psychiatrist which is no this is what i do for a living.i get paid for this. but it was the great lesson of journalism as one of the reasons we have merited stories is that people like to tell and like to work out the moral lessons and everything else through the stories. when i was working on the times i tried to prove myself every now and then i would pick a city, a town, village at random in louisiana and just show up and say i'm going to find a story. at one point i went to louisiana in the sugarcane country and did a series of stories on the sugarcane workers and i realized what a rich there to tell it was. at this point i was still a last in my writer's days and i had read james once too often so i felt the stories read a little too much with literary pretensions but they were useful in getting the next stage of my life. i had gone to college and read somebody's book to ensure you have up front right now and is still a friend of mine, harry evans. he was then the young crusading editor of the sunday times of london. some of you know h
