Steven ⁤Pearl to Take Reins at Auburn, Continuing Family Legacy in College Basketball

Auburn announced Monday that Steven Pearl will serve as the⁤ program’s interim⁤ head coach for the 2024-25 ⁤season following the suspension⁣ of his father, Bruce Pearl, due to NCAA ⁢violations. This marks the latest father-son handoff in college basketball ⁢history, ‍echoing transitions seen at programs like Alabama-Birmingham and‍ Davidson.

The move comes after Bruce Pearl was suspended for two games and placed on probation ​for three years by the NCAA for violating recruiting rules and providing impermissible benefits. Steven Pearl, previously the associate head coach at Auburn, will now lead the ⁤team while his father fulfills his NCAA-mandated obligations. This isn’t the first time a pearl⁣ has⁤ stepped into a prominent coaching role, building on a⁤ family tradition within the sport.

Throughout college‌ basketball history, several programs have experienced a direct transition from father to son at⁣ the helm. One notable example is⁤ at Alabama-Birmingham (UAB), where Gene Bartow coached the​ Blazers from 1979-1996, compiling a record of 350-193. his​ son, Murry Bartow,‌ then took over​ from ⁤1996-2002, achieving a 103-83 record before⁢ resigning to pursue other coaching opportunities.

“After consultation over the ​last few days with many of my friends ⁣in the basketball community I felt‍ it was in my best interests to pursue other opportunities within the coaching profession,” Murry Bartow ⁤said in a 2002 statement.

More recently, Davidson college saw a similar transition. Bob‍ McKillop led the Wildcats for 33 ‍seasons (1989-2022), amassing a 634-380 record and coaching future NBA star Steph ‌Curry. Upon his retirement in june 2022, his son, Matt McKillop, assumed the head coaching position. As of​ september 2025, Matt McKillop holds a 48-49 overall record at Davidson, ‍having ‌previously served as an assistant coach under his father ‍for 14 seasons. the Wildcats finished 6-12 in the Atlantic 10 last season, reaching the second⁤ round of the conference tournament.

‘Married At First Sight‘ Star Lachlan Rofe dies Aged 47

Lachlan Rofe, who appeared on the Australian reality television show Married At First Sight, has died in New South Wales at​ the age ⁢of 47. NSW Police confirmed his death to the NZ Herald on Tuesday, ‌stating officers were called to a property in⁣ Razorback, south of Sydney, following⁣ reports of a concern for welfare.

Rofe gained public attention during his appearance​ on ​the 2018 season of the ‍show, where he ​was paired with Tamara Joy. Beyond the reality​ series,‍ Rofe’s life was marked by legal ‍issues‌ and controversial associations.In 2017, he was found guilty⁢ of sexually touching a woman without her consent, receiving a 12-month good behavior bond‍ which he‌ later successfully appealed, having the guilty verdict⁣ overturned. He stated⁤ after the appeal, “Being a man of principle, I chose to ⁢clear my name.” ‍he ⁣also expressed feeling targeted following the initial ruling, saying, “I’m to‌ scared to even go see women ‘cos I just feel with everything⁢ that’s happened, I just feel like I’m a target.”

Rofe’s family property was also the subject of an investigation regarding ​alleged illegal tree clearing, though the outcome of that investigation was never publicly released by the⁢ local council. Rofe​ claimed at the time⁢ that the scrutiny stemmed from jealousy, stating, “Everything has been cleared in line with legislation; peopel are just jealous of me as I’ve got fame.”

He was ⁣also linked to Natalie ⁣Cepenuik,‌ who gained​ notoriety in 2017 after⁤ an image she posted​ online depicting a decapitated joey in her mouth sparked widespread outrage and ‌an ‍RSPCA ⁣NSW investigation. Cepenuik had written alongside the photo, “I may have deep throated a joey’s neck”,‍ accompanied by laughing and beer emojis.

It is currently unknown whether Rofe⁢ was in a relationship at the‌ time of ‌his death.

Mexican Governors Sideline Alito Moreno as Sheinbaum Gains Popularity

by Chief editor of world-today-news.com
written by Chief editor of world-today-news.com

Mexico​ City – As ​Mexico’s 2027 intermediate elections loom, a notable shift is occurring within the country’s political landscape: governors from opposition parties ​are increasingly distancing ⁢themselves from PRI leader ⁤Alito Moreno and subtly aligning with the popularity of President claudia Sheinbaum.​ This trend, reported by El País, suggests a strategic calculation ⁤by‌ regional leaders ​seeking to insulate themselves from potential scrutiny from the United⁤ States and prioritize domestic political concerns.

The ‍dynamic is fueled by the Sheinbaum administration’s firm stance against drug trafficking – a key distinction ‌from her predecessor, Andrés Manuel ‍López Obrador.Experts like political analyst Martínez suggest the U.S. government’s recent cancellation of ⁣the visa for the Morena governor of Baja California and her husband signals a willingness⁤ to target corruption ⁢networks, creating incentives for ⁣governors to‌ align ​with federal policies. “The governors are sighted by the United States government…This generates incentives to align with federal government policies,” ‍Martínez stated.

This leaves Alito Moreno, head ‍of the​ PRI, increasingly isolated. While he has remained publicly silent, he has engaged in actions‍ contrasting Sheinbaum’s policies, such as a recent meeting with Peruvian President Dina Boluarte amidst a dispute​ where the Peruvian Congress initiated​ steps to declare Sheinbaum persona non grata ​for⁢ her support of former Peruvian President ‌Pedro Castillo.Simultaneously occurring, Sheinbaum benefits from support from state leaders, offering a boost as her party, Morena, navigates internal challenges related to accusations of drug trafficking and austerity concerns surrounding figures like⁤ Adam Augusto López, Fernández Noroña, and Andy López ⁣Beltrán.

Political analyst Espejel notes the appeal of Sheinbaum’s high approval ratings for governors, contrasting it with López Obrador’s⁢ position at a similar point in his presidency. “Any governor would want a little of the high levels [de aceptación] that Sheinbaum has,‌ who⁢ neither at the time had López ⁤Obrador,” Espejel said, pointing to the potential ⁤motivations of figures like Villegas as⁤ they consider future gubernatorial elections.

Gaza Under Fire: One Million Ordered too Evacuate as Attacks Intensify

Gaza City ‍- The Israeli ⁢military has⁢ dramatically escalated attacks across​ the Gaza Strip, wiht a particular focus on Gaza ​City, resulting ​in numerous palestinian deaths ⁣and injuries, including notable numbers of women ⁢and children. Simultaneously, approximately one million ‌Palestinians⁣ have⁤ been ordered ​to evacuate southwards, creating a humanitarian crisis ‍as‍ displaced civilians navigate streets littered with rubble.

Reports from Arab media outlets, including Wafa and Al Jazeera,⁣ detail​ relentless⁤ air strikes targeting densely populated residential areas. Continuous ‍bombing campaigns ​have ⁢persisted for days, ⁣and last night, residents​ of ⁣western Gaza City reported suffering illness due​ to the deployment of heavy smoke bombs, according ‍to Wafa.Israeli forces have conducted raids in ​the Sabra district south of Gaza⁣ City,alongside drone surveillance in the Sheikh⁢ Radwan district. The Zeitoun district,⁤ east of Gaza ⁢City, ⁤is currently surrounded by Israeli troops. Further north,in jabalia al-Nazla,reports allege ‍the use of remotely operated robots equipped with explosives to⁢ demolish civilian homes.

The violence‍ isn’t​ limited ‍to‌ Gaza City. Machine gun fire was ‌reported by sources towards the ⁣eastern ​part of Deir Al-Balah in the Central Gaza Strip, and a‍ house⁤ in the Al-Karama area, northwest of Gaza City, was bombed, tragically killing a mother and her son and injuring others. Bombings have also been recorded in the refugee⁢ camps of Al Nuseirat and ⁣Khan Younis, and even in the ​Mawasi area of Rafah – the designated zone ‍for displaced persons.

The Al-Awda hospital in Gaza city ⁣confirmed receiving eight fatalities in ‍the last 24 hours, including three children, and treating 40 ‌injuries, nine of ‌whom were women. This influx of casualties followed an⁢ attack during⁣ the distribution of humanitarian aid ‍in the ‍Central Gaza Strip.

The​ escalating conflict is placing immense​ strain on already ​limited resources and raising serious concerns about ⁣the safety and well-being ⁣of⁢ civilians trapped within the Gaza strip. The mass⁤ evacuation order‌ and ongoing bombardment are ‍creating a deepening humanitarian ​catastrophe.

Keywords: Gaza, ​Israel, Palestine, Conflict, Evacuation, Humanitarian Crisis, Bombing, Gaza City, Al-awda Hospital, Wafa, Al jazeera.
