AU Continues Takeover of NBA

I'm curious how many players have been drafted from PL schools (not neccessarily while they were in the league). All I can name are Robinson and Foyle. Anyone know?

University at Albany assistant basketball coach Frank Ross said Wednesday he is leaving to take a job as a scout with the Charlotte Bobcats, an NBA expansion team that begins play in 2004-05.

Ross said he is starting his new job Oct. 15.

When Ross played at American University from 1983 to 1987, he played for coach Ed Tapscott, now the Bobcats' executive vice president and chief operating officer.

'I think (Charlotte) is a great opportunity,' Ross said.

Ross will handle college and international scouting.

Ross spent the past two seasons at UAlbany. He was a fifth-round draft choice of the NBA's Philadelphia 76ers in 1987.

UAlbany head coach Will Brown said he would like to have a replacement for Ross by the time practice begins Oct. 18.  @ 4:02 PM
