Clan-Members » who eliminated the Hornets from last year

Senior bureaucrat Praveen Mahajan became the first woman president of the All India Tennis Association (AITA), replacing Anil Khanna?on Thursday.Mahajan, a former IRS officer, was appointed after the Executive Committee of AITA unanimously chose her for the post until the election is conducted.Mahajan was the first woman chief of the Central Board of Excise and Customs (CBEC), the apex policy-making body for indirect taxes, and is now posted in Jodhpur as an administrative member of the Central Administrative Tribunal (CAT).The Ministry had asked Khanna to quit, arguing that his election as president in 2012 was against the Sports Code that bars officials from re-election after serving two consecutive terms of four years. A cooling off period of four years is required before being eligible for the post again.After offering to quit, Khanna was re-elected AITA president recently for a four-year term till 2020, but refused to take it up until the issue was resolved. Eventually he decided to quit the position.AITA then held an Executive Committee meeting and as per its Constitution elevated Mahajan, one of the 10 vice presidents.AITA will hold a Special General Meeting by March 31, 2017 to allow the members to elect the president for the remaining period, ending in 2020.Apart from Mahajan, only two other Vice Presidents, including Chintan Parikh (from Gujarat) and Aneil Mahajan (from Madhya Pradesh), were eligible for the post of President as per the age and tenure conditions of the Sports Code.Mahajans standing is much better and much higher. Since she herself has worked with the government, she knows how to deal with the government and no one can say we have chose someone from inside, said Hironmoy Chatterjee, AITA Secretary General.

After opening the season with two wins on the road, the second a dramatic come-from-behind victory at Miami on Friday night, the Charlotte Hornets can make franchise history when they open their home season against the Boston Celtics on Saturday night.The franchise -- the Bobcats/Hornets -- has never started a season with three straight wins.It didnt look like theyd get a chance to do that this season, either, when they trailed the Heat 65-46 in the third quarter on Friday night in Miami. But Kemba Walker and Jeremy Lamb -- the UConn connection, if you will -- led the charge and the Hornets, who won at Milwaukee on Wednesday, made it 2-0.We could have given up, but we didnt, Walker said. We kept wanting it.The Hornets went on a 51-26 run to leave Miamis home crowd stunned in silence.Right now, early in the year, frankly, these first few games youre just trying to find out what your teams about, and I do like the way we fight back -- thats the good sign, Hornets coach Steve Clifford told reporters after Friday nights win.Miami coach Erik Spoelstra aid, Theyre a well-coached, veteran team. They werent punch-drunk or anything when we went up. ... We knew going in we would have to play a complete game against them and we werent able to do that.The Hornets won both games without Frank Kaminsky, still out with an ankle sprain, and Roy Hibbert played only the first half because of a sore knee, reducing his role to one of a cheerleader.Clifford said Hibbert, who had the knee drained before the opener, told him he has this problem early in seasons. We dont want to mess around with it, Clifford said.As far as Hibbert playing Saturday nighht, the coach said he wouldnt know until tomorrow afternoon, I would think.ddddddddddddalker, who had 17 points in the opener, was limited to one field goal in the first half but came on and finished with 24 points to lead six players in double figures. Lamb scored 16 points, including a dazzling reverse layup late in the charge.The win was only the second in Charlottes last 14 games in Miami -- and it was the Heat who eliminated the Hornets from last years playoffs, in seven games.The Celtics, playing without injured Marcus Smart (ankle) and Kelly Olynyk (shoulder), blew most of a 23-point third-quarter lead and hung on to beat the Brooklyn Nets in their opener on Wednesday night in Boston. They then went to Chicago and charged from behind before losing to the Bulls.Boston was outrebounded 55-36 by the Bulls in a chippy game.They got 24 more shots than us. We only turned it over (12) times, Celtics coach Brad Stevens said after the 105-99 loss. So thats the obvious place theyre getting their possessions, on the glass. Thats going to be the No. 1 thing, that has been the No. 1 thing. Its something weve talked about. We have to get better at it.Saturday nights game features a matchup of the Zellers -- Tyler starting the second half and playing well Thursday night, and Cody scored 15 points in 14 minutes in the Charlotte opener and then 10 points in 23 minutes on Friday night -- after missing the preseason with a knee injury.Cody Zeller had to start the second half on Friday because of Hibberts injury.
