Football coach identified in fatal crash LUKE NOZICKA Daily Egyptian SIU assistant football coach Cory Lee Warren was identified as the driver killed in a fatal traffic crash June 10 on Cedar Creek Road in Jackson County. Warren, 26, of Marion, died after the vehicle, a universityowned minivan, ran off the road, hit a tree and caught fire. The fire had burned itself out when Warren was discovered in the 2012 Dodge minivan by the Jackson County

Sheriff’s Office. The sheriff’s office received a report at roughly 11 a.m. Tuesday of a burned vehicle, which was discovered down an embankment in rural Makanda. The time of the crash has not yet been determined, but is believed to have occurred overnight between Monday and Tuesday after the vehicle failed to negotiate a right hand curve and traveled off the road. Jackson County Corner Thomas Kupferer identified Warren in an autopsy Wednesday and an exact

cause of death is pending the final report from the forensic pathologist. The Jackson County Sheriff’s Office and the Jackson County Coroner’s Office, which is being assisted by the SIU Department of Public Safety, are conducting the investigation. Mario Moccia, director of athletics, said the entire athletics department is shocked by the incident. He said he is very confident something can and will be done to remember Warren during the season. “You never expect to get a call

like that with such a young person,” Moccia said. The 2013 season was Warren’s second season as a graduate assistant in charge of the team’s outside linebackers, according to his biography on the Salukis’ website. The website states Warren worked with outside linebacker Jayson DiManche in 2012, who earned second-team AllMissouri Valley Football Conference honors, tied for second-most sacks in conference at 8.0 and now plays for the Cincinnati Bengals. Victor Craven, an offensive tackle

who graduated with a bachelor’s degree in political science in 2013, said Warren was a wonderful person. “[The university] was blessed to have him,” Craven said. “He had a bright coaching career ahead of him.” Rae Goldsmith, chief marketing and communications officer, said the university is mourning. “Our thoughts are with his wife and his family and friends,” Goldsmith said.

Chili’s, Women’s Center team up for fundraising MARISSA NOVEL Daily Egyptian Today, ordering that extra margarita or post-dinner dessert will feel less guilty than usual. It’s that time again – time to grab some grub at Chili’s in support of the Women’s Center. The Chili’s Give Back Program, a fundraiser dedicated to raising money for not-for-profit community organizations, will be donating 15 percent of purchases, dine-in or to go, to the Women’s Center all day today with the presentation of a voucher. The vouchers can be found online on the

Women’s Center website. Bernie Page, Chili’s general manager, said the event is in its fourth year. He said it draws more people each year. “The great thing about this is it brings out people that wouldn’t normally come here,” he said. “You get people that want to support the cause, as well as regulars.” Out of the 125 locations, Page said the Carbondale Chili’s is good at getting people to come out to support different causes. He said the restaurant raises several hundred dollars for the Women’s Center each year. Chili’s previously donated 10 percent of its proceeds to the Women’s Center,

but chose to give 15 percent as the fundraiser gained popularity. Page said the program also works with high schools and university organizations, including the Saluki Bassers. “It’s all about a partnership,” Page said. Sandra Ursini, development specialist for the Women’s Center, said Chili’s is always generous during the fundraiser, an event that is usually put on once in the spring and again in the fall. “We really appreciate our supporters coming out to the different things that we do,” she said. The Women’s Center will be planning

other fundraising events throughout the summer, including a car wash and a yard sale. The Christmas Car Wash will be from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, and June 28 and July 19 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at AutoZone. All proceeds will benefit the Children’s Christmas Party Fund. The yard sale will be held from 7 a.m. to noon on July 12 at the Women’s Center. One of the bigger events will be The Little Black Dress Party on Sept. 12. The event will offer food and drinks, as well as live music from the St. Louisbased band Dr. Zhivegas. It will be held

at Rent One Park in Marion. Tickets will be available for purchase Aug. 1. Two pre-parties for the event will be held in August. On Aug. 12, Rustle Hill Winery in Cobden will host a concert; the second pre-party, a fashion show, will be at the Marion Dillard’s on Aug. 28.

Three states set to perform executions JIM SALTER Associated Press ST. LOU I S ( A P ) — Convicted killers in three states were facing executions within a 24-hour period starting Tuesday night, potentially the first lethal injections in the nation since a botched execution in Oklahoma seven weeks ago. All the states planning executions — Florida, Georgia and Missouri — refuse to say where they get their drugs, or if they are tested. Lawyers for two of the condemned inmates have challenged the secretive process used by some states to obtain lethal injection drugs from unidentified, loosely regulated compounding pharmacies. Nine executions nationwide have been stayed or postponed since late April, when Oklahoma prison officials halted the execution of Clayton Lockett after noting that the lethal injection drugs weren’t being administered into his vein properly. Lockett’s punishment was halted and he died of a heart attack several minutes later. “I think after Clayton Lockett’s execution everyone is going to be watching very closely,” Fordham University School of Law professor Deborah Denno, a death penalty expert, said of this week’s executions. “The scrutiny is going to be even closer.” Marcus Wellons is set to die Tuesday night in Georgia, followed six hours later by John Winfield, who faces execution at 12:01 a.m. Wednesday in Missouri. John Ruthell Henry’s execution is scheduled for 6 p.m. Wednesday in Florida. Georgia and Missouri both use the single drug pentobarbital, a sedative. Florida uses a three-drug combination of midazol-

am hydrochloride, vecuronium bromide and potassium chloride. Despite concerns about the drugs and how they are obtained, death-penalty supporters say all three convicted killers are getting what they deserve. Wellons was convicted in the 1989 rape and murder of India Roberts, his 15-yearold neighbor in suburban Atlanta. Soon after the girl left for school, another neighbor heard muffled screams from the apartment where Wellons was living. Later that day, a man told police he saw a man carrying what appeared to be a body in a sheet. Police found the girl’s body in a wooded area. She had been strangled and raped. The Georgia State Board of Pardons and Paroles on Monday denied clemency to Wellons, leaving his fate in the hands of the courts. In Missouri, Winfield had been dating Carmelita Donald on and off for several years and fathered two of her children. Donald began dating another man. One night in 1996, in a jealous rage, Winfield showed up outside Donald’s apartment in St. Louis County and confronted her, along with two friends of hers. Winfield shot all three women in the head. Arthea Sanders and Shawnee Murphy died. Donald survived but was blinded. Symone Winfield, the daughter of Donald and John Winfield, is among those asking Gov. Jay Nixon for clemency. A federal judge granted a stay of execution last week on a claim that a prison worker dropped plans to write a letter in support of clemency due to intimidation from staff. A three-judge panel of the 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals late Monday upheld the stay, and the state appealed for a hearing before the full 8th Circuit.

Meanwhile, the U.S. Supreme Court is considering Winfield’s argument that Missouri’s lethal injection drug, obtained from an unnamed source with no acknowledgement of how it is tested, poses a risk of pain and suffering for the inmate. A similar appeal on behalf of Wellons was before the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. In Florida, the state is moving ahead with the execution despite claims that Henry is mentally ill and intellectually disabled. The state claims anyone with an IQ of at least 70 is not mentally disabled; testing has shown Henry’s IQ at 78, though his lawyers say it should be re-evaluated. Henry stabbed his estranged wife, Suzanne Henry, to death a few days before Christmas in 1985. Hours later, he killed her 5-year-old son from a previous relationship. Henry had previously pleaded no contest to second-degree murder for fatally stabbing his common-law wife, Patricia Roddy, in 1976, and was on parole when Suzanne Henry and the boy were killed. Asked Tuesday if he had discussed with the Department of Corrections what happened in Oklahoma and if any changes were needed in Florida, Gov. Rick Scott said, “I focus on making sure that we do things the right way here.” Florida and Missouri trail only Texas as the most active death penalty states. Texas has carried out seven executions. Florida has executed five men in 2014 and Missouri has executed four. Combined, the three states have performed 16 of the 20 executions this year. Wellons would be the first Georgia inmate executed since February 2013 and just the second since 2011.

‘Love thy neighbor’? Nuns sue nearby strip club Associated Press STON E PA R K , Il l. (AP) — A convent of nuns in suburban Chicago has filed a lawsuit against a neighbor, a strip club they say plays throbbing music while the nuns try to pray. The Sisters of St. Charles named Club Allure Chicago and the village of Stone Park in their lawsuit filed Friday in Cook County Circuit Court. They claim the club violates Illinois zoning laws, which require a 1,000-foot buffer between adult entertainment facilities and places of worship. The sisters’ property in Melrose Park includes three chapels. The strip club opened in the neighboring village of Stone Park in September. The sisters have seen “public violence, drunkenness and litter, including empty whiskey and beer bottles, discarded con-

traceptive packages and products and even used condoms,” according to the lawsuit, which also mentions the “pulsating and rhythmic staccato-beat noise and flashing neon and or strobe lights” that disturb the nuns. “Our sisters’ sacred space has been invaded,” Sister Noemia Silva told the Chicago Sun-Times. “At night now they hear the music when they’re praying. That’s uncalled for.” The nuns have a right to pray and work peacefully without interference, said attorney Peter Breen of the Thomas More Society, a Chicago-based public-interest law firm representing the convent. Stone Park Village Attorney Dean Krone said the village has acted legally and reasonably. Club representatives said they aren’t a nuisance to the nuns and the lawsuit’s claims aren’t backed up

by police reports. While the Bible says, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself,” the manager of the club said the nuns are not being very neighborly. “We spent an awful lot of money to make sure that this kind of thing would not occur,” Club Allure manager Robert Itzkow told WMAQ-TV. “The whole thing is just a question of ‘we don’t like you; you don’t conform to our religious beliefs.’” Itzkow said the club’s dancers “aren’t monsters. They’re daughters; they’re mothers and some of them are Catholics too.” The village of Melrose Park and three of its residents joined the nuns in the lawsuit. “We are violated,” neighbor Patricia Zito told WMAQ-TV. “We have a new generation of young families who should not put up with this.”

Campus Beach Obama to order expansion of ocean santuary in Pacific face-lift begins NEELA BANERJEE Tribune Washington Bureau

MARCUS GRUWELL Daily Egyptian As the summer begins, so has the updated landscaping around Campus Lake, including new plants and land formations, as well as promised updates for the former beach area. A nature trail is planned around the Campus Lake beach after roughly three years of renovation. While there is no official completion date, the trail is estimated to be finished sometime in 2015. Before construction began, Campus Beach had a volleyball court and a concession stand for students. Plants and foliage now grow where the former concession stand and shower rooms once stood. Davidson Smith, a senior studying journalism from Chicago, said he’s only been to the lake a few times, and has never seen the beach without the fences. “I rarely go to the lake and only see fences around the Campus Lake, but I hope they come down soon,” Smith said. Jeff Goelz, assistant director of Aquatics and Outdoor Pursuits, said the new part of the lake would serve as an observatory for nature for students to explore. “We mostly just want to create a new experience for people who walk around the lake … and it will be a nice addition to the lake as well,” Goelz said. Goelz said the time has slowed down on construction due to cost related issues dealing with construction of the lake. “We’ve slowed down a little due to money issues, but now that construction has picked up, we’ll finish the project here soon,” Goelz said. Kyle Hogendorp, a 2008 SIU alumnus with a degree in sociology, said he didn’t know many people who were aware of Campus Beach before it was closed. “I always thought that Campus Lake is one of the prettiest parts that SIU has to offer,” Hogendorp said. “I feel that students just forget we have a beach. It’s somewhat sad it’s not an option anymore.” Marcus Gruwell can be reached at 217-622-3601 or at marcus.gruwell@dailyegyptian.com

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama announced a series of measures Tuesday to protect parts of the world’s oceans, including the creation of a marine sanctuary that would close a large swath of the central Pacific to fishing and energy development. The plan would require federal agencies to take multiple initiatives to address pollution, overfishing and acidification of ocean water, which is driven by climate change. “Rising levels of carbon dioxide are causing our oceans to acidify. Pollution endangers marine life. Overfishing threatens whole species,” Obama said in televised statement to an international conference on ocean policy hosted by the State Department in Washington. “If we ignore these problems, if we drain our oceans of their resources, we won’t just be squandering one of humanity’s greatest treasures. We’ll be cutting off one of the world’s major sources of food and economic growth, including for the United States.” The announcement provides further evidence of Obama’s willingness to use his executive authority to advance priorities in the face of congressional stalemate,

and it quickly drew criticism from congressional Republicans, who contend the administration overregulates natural resources industries and that the president has overreached his constitutional powers. “This is yet another example of how an imperial president is intent on taking unilateral action, behind closed doors, to impose new regulations and layers of restrictive red-tape,” said House Natural Resources Committee Chairman Doc Hastings, R-Wash. “Oceans, like our federal lands, are intended to be multiple-use and open for a wide range of economic activities that includes fishing, recreation, conservation, and energy production.” Among the ocean plan’s most ambitious and controversial steps would be expansion of the Pacific Remote Islands Marine National Monument southwest of Hawaii. In January 2009, President George W. Bush gave monument status to nearly 87,000 square miles around Howland, Baker, and Jarvis Islands; Johnston, Wake, and Palmyra Atolls; and Kingman Reef. The islands are uninhabited, and the area is one the few pristine stretches of marine environment in the world and home to thousands of migratory birds, fish and mammals. The Obama plan envisions

extending monument protection from the current limit of 50 nautical miles around the islands to 200 miles, thereby limiting fishing and energy development over a far larger expanse of ocean. The proposal could more than double the area of ocean protected by the United States, environmental groups said. The expanded protections, which under federal law the president can order without congressional approval, could go into effect this year after a public comment period. Joshua S. Reichert, executive vice president of the Pew Charitable Trusts, said he expected considerable resistance to the expansion plan from the domestic tuna industry. But he said Pew estimates that about 1 percent to 3 percent of the U.S. annual tuna catch would be affected by the plan if it went forward. “The importance of these uninhabited islands is far greater than the value of the fish there,” Reichert said. The proposed protection zone holds some of the world’s “richest marine life and least disturbed areas. It’s immensely valuable to science and home to vast numbers of ocean species, he added, “the importance of keeping these places intact far transcends the short-term value of what can be extracted for commercial gain.”

‘Chef ’ sizzles with delicious passion KARSTEN BURGSTAHLER For the Daily Egyptian

It’d be easy to say Jon Favreau’s new film looks great because of the gratuitous images of deliciouslooking food. Favreau certainly could have relied on the food in “Chef ” (Rated R; 114 Min.) to propel him forward without a solid story. Some critics have actually referred to the film as “food porn.” But it’s so much more than that, shown through the passion that Favreau’s character, Chef Carl Casper, puts into his cooking shows, along with Favreau the filmmaker’s directing style. Not just for the food, but also for his players. Like many of Casper’s creations, “Chef ” contains a smattering of familiar elements jazzed up with good dialogue and actors with great chemistry delivering it. Casper is exhusband to Inez (Sofia Vergara, never better) and absent father to Percy (Emjay Anthony). The early scenes in Casper’s restaurant are just the appetizer to the film’s main course: After Casper gets into it with a food critic (who calls him out for being set in his ways) and the video ends up on YouTube, he takes some time off with his son and goes to Miami. While there he begins to reinvent himself by purchasing a food truck. We, as the audience, get to accompany him on the next step in the evolution of Chef Carl Casper. And what an honor it is. What’s so refreshing about “Chef,” at least in today’s Hollywood, is that none of the actors seem to be going through the motions. The movie could have been a rehash of the road trip 101 movie. That’s because Favreau mixed together actors who mesh well. Perhaps it’s an exaggeration to suggest Favreau and Anthony are the best pair since peanut butter and

PROVIDED PHOTO

jelly. Perhaps not. We don’t get much screen time with the actors beyond Favreau, Anthony and Casper’s sous chef Martin (John Leguizamo). But the supporting cast functions in their own quirky way. Dustin Hoffman adds a dash of salt as Casper’s boss Riva. Oliver Platt hams up the pretentious food critic Ramsey Michel (also to the credit of Favreau, who gave him some great barbs to trade with Casper). Scarlett Johansson plays Casper’s hostess and potential love interest. And Robert Downey Jr. stops by to help his “Iron Man” director Favreau as a sleazy salesman who’s letting his secretary think he got her pregnant. It’s an

eclectic cast of characters. It works. So sure, it wouldn’t be hard for Favreau to take some shots of the mouth-watering food and call it a day. But he’s not just a director making a movie about food. He’s a foodie with an appreciation that flares up in every scene. Listening to Favreau describe a beignet will make you buy a train ticket to New Orleans just to hit up Café du Monde. That’s just the sort of passion that’s been missing from the movies so far this year — summer is full of junk food, satisfying at first but ultimately empty. Look at “Chef ” as your first step toward a healthy diet.

Amazon about to jump into smartphones MAE ANDERSON RYAN NAKASHIMA Associated Press N EW YO R K — Amazon, a company of seemingly boundless ambition, appears to be venturing into yet another market: smartphones. The corporate juggernaut that started out with books and soon moved into music, video, cloud computing and Kindle e-readers is hosting a launch event Wednesday in Seattle, and media reports indicate the product will be an Amazon phone — perhaps one with multiple cameras that can produce 3-D photos. Amazon declined to comment, but analysts said the goal is almost certainly a device designed to get customers to buy more things from Amazon. It might include an Amazon shopping app or other features tied in tightly to the products the company sells. “It’s Amazon. That says to me the core value proposition is going to be about shopping,” said Ramon Llamas of the research firm International Data Corp. Amazon’s phone comes at a time when the nation’s largest e-commerce company is at a crossroads. Its stock, which surged for years

despite narrow profits, has dropped 18 percent in 2014 to about $326, in part because investors have been losing patience with its habit of plowing revenue back into new ventures. Analysts said the move into smartphones is a bit of a head-scratcher, since the company is a late entrant into the highly competitive market. For all its success with other products, Amazon will be hard-pressed to compete with Samsung and Apple, the No. 1 and 2 mobile phone companies in the world. Globally, Samsung led mobile phone manufacturers with 31 percent of the 288 million units shipped in the first quarter, followed by Apple at 15 percent. In the U.S., Apple dominates with more than 37 percent of the 34 million units shipped, with Samsung at close to 29 percent. Some analysts have speculated that the 3-D feature might tie into an Amazon shopping app. Shoppers might be able to use the phone to take a 3-D picture of a product in a store, then search for the object on Amazon and buy it online. Analysts said the phone could also come with a data plan that could let owners use Amazon services without using up any data. “Anything that generates more

repeat orders and more frequent purchases is probably part of what they intend to do with this,” said R.W. Baird analyst Colin Sebastian. To compete, Amazon needs more than an expected 3-D viewing feature, which has been tried before by smartphone makers like HTC and LG, Llamas said. Competing on price won’t help if it leaves people with the impression that the device is cheaply built, and getting customers to buy a phone without being about to touch it first could prove difficult, he said. “If they sell it only online, as Amazon sells many of its goods and products, that could be a challenge,” Llamas said. Here’s a look at the impact Amazon has had in music, video and other markets: BOOKS Amazon.com Inc. started as an online bookstore in 1995 in CEO Jeff Bezos’ garage in Bellevue, Washington. As more and more bookstores have closed, Amazon is now believed to be the nation’s largest bookseller, with an estimated 30 percent of a total book market that PricewaterhouseCoopers estimates hit $34.9 billion in 2013, and 60 percent of an e-book market

that PwC pegged at $7.9 billion. Mike Shatzkin, founder and CEO of book industry consultancy The Idea Logical Co., said book publishers view Amazon with “a mixture of dependence and fear.” “They can’t live without Amazon’s sales, and they can’t live with Amazon’s market power,” he said. MUSIC Amazon is a major player in music. It has sold compact discs by mail since 1998 and digital downloads since 2007. Russ Crupnick, managing partner of consulting company MusicWatch, pegs Amazon’s share at 18 percent of the $2.8 billion digital download market in the U.S. last year and 23 percent of the $2.1 billion market for CDs. In comparison, Apple’s iTunes commands about 67 percent of digital downloads and doesn’t sell CDs. Amazon is the only competitor to Apple of any real size. Amazon last week launched a music streaming service that makes more than 1 million tracks available to members of its $99-a-year Amazon Prime subscription plan. TABLETS Amazon took over the e-book market soon after Kindle was launched in 2007.

It took a big step by introducing its fullcolor Kindle Fire tablet in 2011, with a price starting at $199 and a screen just 7 inches diagonally. “At the time, none of the other vendors had something similar,” said Jitesh Ubrani, an IDC analyst. But since then, others have matched the size and price, especially Samsung, which has made big gains. Amazon’s share of global shipments has slid from more than 7 percent in 2012 to 2 percent in the first quarter of the year. MOVIES AND TV SHOWS Amazon is a large retailer of DVDs and Blu-ray discs and also offers online rentals and purchases of digital video products. Amazon has 15 percent of the $1.8 billion U.S. market for movie and TV show rentals and downloads, trailing Apple’s 58 percent, according to Dan Cryan, an analyst with market research firm IHS. As for subscription video streaming, Cryan estimates Amazon accounted for 15 percent of the 43.6 million active U.S. subscribers of streaming video plans through its Prime Instant Video service. Netflix accounted for 73 percent of active streaming subscribers, while Hulu Plus had 12 percent.

USA scores early, late to beat Ghana, 2-1 KEVIN BAXTER Los Angeles Times N ATA L , Br a z i l — It’s all starting to come together. The U.S. team’s route out of pool play in this World Cup, which looked muddled and confused Monday morning, became as clean as Michael Bradley’s bald head by Monday evening following the Americans’ physical 2-1 win over Ghana in Natal and Germany’s 4-0 pummeling of Portugal in Manaus. The U.S. goals came from Clint Dempsey in the opening 30 seconds, the fastest goal by an American in World Cup history, and from John Brooks in the 86th minute, the first score by an American substitute in World Cup history. Brooks scored just four minutes after Ghana had tied it on a goal by Andre Ayew. “It’s a great start, a very difficult start against a very strong Ghana team,” U.S. coach Juergen Klinsmann said. “And now we have to work even harder.” But it was also a costly start for

the U.S., with two players going out with injuries and another going to the sideline after taking a shot to his face. Striker Jozy Altidore, who finally appeared to have rediscovered his form, was the first to leave, suffering a hamstring injury midway through the first half. He was stretchered off to the locker room in tears and will be examined Tuesday in Sao Paulo. But considering that Altidore has injured the same hamstring three times in the last four years, he may be out for the rest of the tournament, leaving the U.S. short at forward. Dempsey went down next, with a bloody nose after taking a shot from Ghana defender John Boye’s lower left leg. After being treated, Dempsey stayed in the game, but afterward he said he thought his nose was broken. And when the second half began it did so without central defender Matt Besler, who limped off with a tight right hamstring, giving way to the unproven Brooks. That move would prove decisive when Brooks headed in the

winning goal. “We could see in every training session that (he’s) a very, very good talent,” Klinsmann said of the 21-year-old Brooks. “No problem for me at all to make (that) decision.” Dempsey’s goal got the U.S. off to its fastest start in World Cup history. In fact only four other teams have scored in the first 30 seconds of a World Cup game. Just after the opening whistle Dempsey got the ball from Jermaine Jones off the left wing, put a brilliant move on Boye to get deep into the penalty area, then left-footed a low shot that bent across the front of the goal and banked in off the far post. But Ghana, after pressing the whole second half, finally got the equalizer when Ayew split Brooks and fellow defender Geoff Cameron and came in alone on U.S. keeper Tim Howard, beating him easily with a left-footed shot to tie it eight minutes from the end of regulation. The tie wouldn’t last long. “I was still convinced we were going to win this game even after the

equalizer,” Klinsmann said. “I had the feeling that another two, three opportunities would come. And we just need to use one of those, which then happened.” And it was Brooks, one of the three “Klinsergartners” — players 21 or younger who have played five or fewer games for the U.S. — who got it back on a set piece four minutes before stoppage time. Graham Zusi sent a corner kick to the front of the net that apparently was aimed at Cameron. It was just a hair too long, but the 6-foot-4 Brooks, charging in behind Cameron, got his head on it and bounced the ball past keeper Adam Larsen Kwarasey from outside the six-yard box to give the U.S. its first win over Ghana in three World Cups. “It’s a great moment for me,” Brooks said. “Unbelievable. I had a dream (two days ago). I told some teammates ‘I dreamed I scored in the 80th minute and we win the game.’ “And now it was the 86th minute and we won.” Injuries, bloody noses and dreams

Aaron Gordon’s athleticism, defense make him certain lottery pick JOSH ROBBINS Orlando Sentinel Tim Kennedy will never forget his first extended conversation with Aaron Gordon. It occurred in 2009 before Gordon’s freshman basketball season at Archbishop Mitty High School in San Jose, Calif. Kennedy, the coach, wanted to have a giveand-take about their expectations for the year. “I just want to let you know that all I’m here to do is to win and get better,” Gordon told his new coach. For many teenagers, that statement might have been insincere. But not for Gordon, a 6-foot-9 forward. Over his four years at Mitty and his lone year at the University of Arizona, he took more delight in defending and rebounding than in his array of spectacular highlightreel-quality dunks. “All he cared about was winning,” Kennedy said. Gordon is considered one of the 2014 NBA Draft’s best power-forward prospects, along with two other one-anddone players, Kentucky’s Julius Randle and Indiana’s Noah Vonleh. Randle ranks as the most physical player in the trio while Vonleh possesses the best wingspan and shooting range. But Gordon is more athletic than Randle and Vonleh, and also is a better defender. “I love defense just as much as I love scoring,” Gordon said. “It’s really fun for me to make sure that guy can’t score, and I love playing both ends of the floor. I think that’s what makes a true great basketball player: playing both ends.” Gordon’s athleticism and versatility propelled Mitty to consecutive state titles in 2011 and 2012 and sent Arizona to the

Elite Eight this year. Gordon could guard players at any position, and Arizona coach Sean Miller routinely had Gordon switch off on screens even if it meant that Gordon had to defend point guards. “I think initially when he enters the NBA he’s ahead of the curve for a rookie with his ability to defend because he can defend multiple players and he’s a great defensive rebounder,” Miller said. “That’s what he brings to the table early. As he continues to mature and grow as a player and get older, his scoring will continue to rise. His shooting will continue to improve, and I think at that point, when all of that comes together, then you’re going to have an elite NBA player.” Gordon won’t turn 19 until September, and there’s one element to his game that remains especially raw: his shooting. He struggled to knock down midrange jumpers at Arizona, and he made just 42.2 percent of his free-throw attempts. He spent the last few months attempting to improve his shooting stroke — a stroke that even he acknowledges lacked consistency. Now, he says, his freethrow shot, his midrange jumper and his 3-pointers resemble each other. “I have blisters all over my fingers just from shooting so much,” Gordon said, a smile crossing his face. Gordon hails from a family of high achievers.

— Sean Miller Arizona coach His mom directs a business unit at a Silicon Valley company. His dad, who played college basketball at San Diego State, is a middle-school teacher. His brother played basketball at UCLA and New Mexico and has played professionally in Italy. And his sister recently graduated from Harvard; she’ll live with Aaron during his rookie season and work for the same agency, BDA Sports Management, that represents him. Gordon exudes confidence, but he recoils a bit when he’s asked whether he envisions himself more as a power forward or more as a small forward in the NBA. Gordon has to add some bulk to his frame. At the NBA scouting combine, he weighed just 220 pounds, almost 30 pounds less than Randle and 25 pounds less than Vonleh. What he lacks in size — for now, at least — he makes up for in athleticism and versatility. Because of his emphatic dunks and 39-inch vertical leap, he routinely draws comparisons to Los Angeles Clippers power forward Blake Griffin. In fact, Gordon’s first basketball hero was Magic Johnson, who excelled at point guard even though he had the build of a forward. “I see myself capable of playing multiple positions,” Gordon said. “It is OK to play multiple positions. It’s not like you have to be locked into one.”

aside, Klinsmann’s team looks to be headed in the right direction. To advance out of its four-team group — something the U.S. has accomplished in three of the last five World Cups — the Americans need at least a win and a tie in their three first-round games. They got one of those Monday and now appear to have a good chance at the other when they meet an even more bruised and battered Portugal on Sunday in the Amazon city of Manaus. That’s because Portugal lost more than just a game Monday, it also lost three starters — one to a red card and two to injury. Pepe, Portugal’s best defender, was sent off in the 37th minute for a head butt and will be ineligible for the U.S. game. Minutes earlier, striker Hugo Almeida had limped to the sideline with an injury, and then in the second half defender Fabio Coentrao was helped off after suffering an apparent groin injury. Their status for Sunday, as with Besler, is uncertain. “It’s just a good feeling to have the first three points,” Klinsmann said.
