Warriors’ trade of Jordan Poole ‘tore something out of his heart,’ former coach says

Published Mon, 16 Dec 2024 22:46:51 GMT

Jordan Poole has hardly spoken of The Punch, but someone who knows him well believes the former Warrior is still struggling with the fallout.Jim Gosz, who coached Poole in high school and remains in regular contact with him, also said being traded by the Warriors rocked the 24-year-old.“When Jordan left San Francisco, I think that really tore something out of his heart,” Gosz said by phone last week.As Poole prepares to lead the Washington Wizards (4-22) into Chase Center for a Friday night clash against his former team, much of the basketball world has wondered what has gone wrong for the youngster in the nation’s capital.Poole remains an enigma, someone the franchise wants to build around but someone who continues to find himself in the news for unflattering incidents. Among them: forgetting that the game clock starts on an inbounds pass; disengaging from a team huddle while Coach Wes Unseld Jr. drew up a play; showboating on a layup that then was blocked; or most recently, commit...

A serial killer set Detroit on edge. Police missteps over 15 years allowed him to roam free

Published Mon, 16 Dec 2024 22:46:51 GMT

DETROIT (AP) — The serial killer lured women one by one into vacant homes to be murdered, posing their nude or partially clothed corpses amid cheap booze pints, crumbling sheetrock and hypodermic needles.The slayings set Detroit on edge, prompting authorities to dispatch crews on overtime to scour the city’s decrepit stock of abandoned properties for more bodies. When the killer was charged in 2019, the police chief at the time told reporters that his department had been “very diligent, relentless” in solving the crimes.But now, a year after DeAngelo Martin was sent to prison for committing four murders and two rapes, it’s clear that police were hardly diligent or relentless.Over 15 years, Detroit police failed to follow up on leads or take investigative steps that may have averted the eventual killing spree, despite having received repeated warnings that Martin was a violent predator, an Associated Press investigation has found.“It’s astonishing,” said Jim Trainum, a retired Washin...
