ORLANDO, Fla. Derrick Williams Jersey . -- Lydia Ko has split with instructor David Leadbetter after three years.Leadbetter confirmed Wednesday that he is no longer working with the top-ranked Ko, who hasnt commented on the decision.These things happen in the world of coaching, whether its Jurgen Klinsmann with the U.S. national soccer team or?Novak Djokovic, who just separated from his coach Boris Becker this week, Leadbetter said in a statement. This turnover is all part of the coaching business.Ko, 19, turned to Leadbetter when she shifted her base from New Zealand to the United States. Before that, she had worked with Guy Wilson since taking up golf as a 5-year-old. Ko won four LPGA Tour titles this season and has 14 career victories.We wish Lydia the very best for the future and know that, going forward, if she is able to withstand the many outside pressures associated with being No. 1 in the world, and if her team keep their expectations realistic, then she can go on to even bigger and better things, Leadbetter said.Ko also made a late-season caddie change, firing Jason Hamilton. He quickly landed with rival player Ha Na Jang. Stephon Marbury Jersey . -- Derrick Rose shook off poor shooting early to hit clutch shots late and Carlos Boozer had 20 points and 13 rebounds to lead the Chicago Bulls to a 104-95 preseason victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder on Wednesday night. Craig Smith Jersey . R.J. Umberger scored twice to lead the Blue Jackets to a franchise-record for consecutive wins with a 5-3 victory Tuesday night over the Los Angeles Kings. https://www.cheaptimberwolves.com/900j-k...mberwolves.html . PETERSBURG, Fla. DAVIE, Fla. -- University of Michigan alum Stephen Ross has the Wolverines fight song for his ring tone, and it went off as his other team -- the Miami Dolphins -- was about to take the field for the first training camp practice Friday morning.The Dolphins owner pulled his cellphone out of his pocket and answered the call.Hello, Jim? Ross said.Ross was joking, although he and Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh do talk often. And Harbaugh wont be the Dolphins next coach, Ross said, because it would be too awkward prying him away from Ann Arbor.Hes not coming here, Ross said. Ive got my name on too many building up there. But we dont have to worry -- we have a great guy.Thats to be determined, starting with Fridays practice. The Dolphins opened camp under Adam Gase, their ninth coach since 2004, and his assignment is to end an eight-year playoff drought.In July, even the Dolphins are optimistic.Everybody starts undefeated and with great expectations, Ross said. This year Im particularly excited. I think weve done a lot in the organization over the last year. Im excited as I can be.The Dolphins promoted Chris Grier to general manager in January, and he and executive vice president of football operations Mike Tannenbaum have brought in 45 new players for the new coaching staff.Gase began sorting it all out on a typically sweltering summer morning. The energy level was high, and sustaining that will be the challenge, Gase said.The first day of practice, everybodys excited to get back out there, Gase said. The telling parts going to be when were about six or seven days into this thing and in full pads. Where are we going to be then?Word of the first reinforcement came during practice, when the Dolphins learned defensive end Dion Jordan has been reinstated by the NFL after serving a suspension for 15 months foor his latest violation of the leagues substance abuse policy. Noah Vonleh Jersey. Jordan can participate in meetings and conditioning work immediately, and is expected to join practice soon.Miami began camp without five players who went on the active-physically unable to perform list, including four-time Pro Bowl running back Arian Foster, who is recovering from Achilles tendon surgery last season. Also put on PUP were cornerbacks Bobby McCain and Xavien Howard, running back Damien Williams and linebacker Zach Vigil.All are day to day, Gase said, which means they could join practice soon.The absences of McCain and Howard compound worries at cornerback, perhaps Miamis thinnest position. And theres little experience at running back without Foster, who signed a $1.5 million, one-year deal this month with Miami and is expected to compete for backup duty behind second-year pro Jay Ajayi.Despite the injuries, camp began with players confident the Dolphins are headed in the right direction under their new coach.The culture were building is good, quarterback Ryan Tannehill said. I think that guys have the right mindset as a team.Reviews of the squads condition were mixed. Among those making a positive impression was four-time Pro Bowl defensive end Cameron Wake, who is only nine months removed from Achilles tendon surgery.It doesnt surprise me, because the guy is a physical freak, Gase said.But when asked if everyone passed the conditioning test, Gase managed a weak smile.Maybe not, he said.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP-NFL---Follow Steven Wine on Twitter: http://twitter.com/Steve-Wine.
