NOTES

FOOTBALL

GOLDBERG REINSTATED: Duke coach David Cutcliffe reinstated starting offensive tackle Cameron Goldberg on Thursday.

Goldberg, who immediately resumed off-season workouts, had been suspended for violating team rules on April 15 and was given a chance to earn his way back.

Missing that time working out with teammates was a big deal for Goldberg. Offensive linemen usually do all their football-related activity together to build chemistry and strengthen their communication.

BASKETBALL

UNC'S COPELAND TEARS ACL: North Carolina reserve Mike Copeland will need surgery after injuring his knee during a pickup basketball game last week.

The senior forward suffered a torn right anterior cruciate ligament. The surgery is scheduled next month once swelling goes down. Recovery time is typically six to eight months.

The Winston-Salem native scored 30 points in 25 games last season for the Tar Heels.

HUGGINS TRIPS IN AIRPORT: West Virginia officials say basketball coach Bob Huggins was taken to a hospital in Charlotte for precautionary reasons after tripping on an airport tarmac and hitting his head on the pavement.

Athletic director Ed Pastilong says Huggins had a bump on his head but never lost consciousness.

Pastilong said Huggins and other athletic department staff flew to Charlotte on Thursday morning for a Mountaineer Athletic Club event.
