PHILADELPHIA - The Philadelphia Phillies have elevated
David Montgomery from president to chairman and named
Hall of Famer Pat Gillick team president.The move was
announced Wednesday, several months after Montgomery took
a leave to continue his recovery from jaw cancer.
Montgomery says hes healthy enough now to assume some of
his responsibilities.Gillick was the Phillies general
manager when they won the World Series in 2008. He had
served as a senior adviser since 2009.

title since 1990, moved two points behind Arsenal after
the leaders were stunned 6-3 at Manchester City on
Saturday. Defending champion Manchester United trails
Arsenal by 10 points after winning 3-0 at Aston Villa to
avoid a third successive league loss.

did over the past 2 1/2 years with the Washington

With the Canadiens leading by one to start the third
period, Price turned away 16 shots by the Panthers in the
final frame to give Montreal a 2-1 victory over Florida
on Monday night. The Panthers (16-21-6) outshot Montreal
16-10 in the final frame, but were repeatedly frustrated
by Price, who made 26 saves on the night.TSNs Jack
Armstrong offers his thoughts on the Spurs being back in
the mix, the bench strength of the Raptors, the Pacers
and Heat not being ready for prime time, the compete
level of Kemba Walker and the Warriors coaching
situation. 1. SAN ANTONIO SPURS: Have won 15 straight
games and suddenly here they are again in the mix
regarding the discussion of what teams can be in the
Finals in June. Dont beat you ever with flash but man, oh
man lots of substance when you talk about this team.
Wednesday night against Denver, they had five players in
double figures and had 30 assists on 43 field goals.
Thats quite impressive. The commitment to the team and
playing the game together is a principle that has served
them well over the years and will make them a tough out
in the playoffs. The sum is more important than the
parts. 2. RAPTORS BENCH: Its pretty evident that in spite
of the Raps being 6-5 in the absence of Patrick
Patterson, they miss his presence big-time in a variety
of ways. Hes a wonderful perimeter defender on screen and
roll sequences, gets after it on the glass, defends in
the post and can give you both scoring inside/out as well
as intelligent team play on offence. He and Greivis
Vasquez are the two major contributors off the bench and
when you look at the Boston game Wednesday night with
less than 10 points coming off the bench, its an area of
concern to say the least as you prepare for the playoffs.
Pattersons absence has clearly affected the defence as
well with teams putting the Raptors in screen and roll
scenarios and the nightly battles on the boards without
one of your sturdier post guys. John Salmons has
struggled of late and is a solid veteran player. When hes
going good, this team has another gear. Getting Patterson
back and healthy and an on-track Salmons will go a long
way towards getting this team ready for the playoffs.
Digging themselves early holes that they have to battle
back from are an issue that has to be corrected along
with tightening the screws again with the defence. They
do that and Im confident that they can compete quite well
in a first round series. 3. PACERS VS. HEAT: Watched the
game Wednesday night and I must say I was underwhelmed
with the quality of play. Yes, it had great playoff
intensity but it appeared to me that both of these teams
have needed a game like this for a while to get that next
gear back in their playing style. Both looked like they
need to work out some kinks in the final weeks with
offensive flow/execution to be ready to roll in mid/late
April. A long season combined with injuries, etc. have a
way of messing up your chemistry and neither looked as
fluid as when theyre at their best. The Raptors see both
of them next week with the Houston Rockets sandwiched in
between (what a week!) which will be a good test of their
playoff readiness as the Heat have been able to knock off
the Raptors this season three times while the Pacers are
2-1 and the Rockets won their game in Houston vs the
Raps. The good teams start to takke that next step here
in the final 10 games to get everything humming and in
sync.dddddddddddd Always fun to watch as teams gear up
for the second season. 4. KEMBA WALKER (Bobcats): Al
Jefferson (35 and 15) was awesome in the overtime win vs.
the Nets Wednesday night. Coach Steve Clifford has done a
terrific job with that team. Its about time the folks in
Charlotte get behind their team and support them for a
change; this is a team you can root for. Love Kemba -
what a gamer, scoring 20 points and five rebounds along
with 12 assists. There are certain guys that you just
throw out the stats some night because they just play so
hard and have amazing pride and competitive spirit and do
whatever it takes to win. From his days at UConn to now,
he personifies what it means to give it his all. Hes been
in a tough situation there with a poor roster, shaky
coaching and questionable management decisions and Im
happy for him that some of the proper decisions have been
made around him and things are coming together. This team
has become fun to watch and Walker is the heart and soul
of that. 5. BRIAN SCALABRINE (Warriors): Assistant coach
gets demoted to the D-League by head coach Mark Jackson.
This is right out of the book of Jason Kidd/Lawrence
Frank differences that took place early in the season.
Jackson was adamantly supportive of Kidds move in the
fall with Frank and now he does the same thing. Ive been
both an sssistant coach and a head coach and I always
felt that loyalty to the boss was #1 and if you disagree,
you do it behind closed doors and it never gets picked up
by the players, media, etc. At the same time, its vital
that the assistant coaches cant be Yes Men that have to
supress their opinion as opposed to express their
opinion. Healthy dialogue is important yet at the end of
the day, the head coach makes the call and we all march
together in unison. (Hes also got to be open to
suggestions and not have all the answers.) Jason Kidd got
past this controversy and has done a good job with the
Nets and it will be significant for Jackson to get past
this as well by the performance of the team. Expectations
are high in the Bay Area and results will be needed.
Never an easy situation for any coach to be in and I can
relate to the feeling of both. Jackson has a healthy ego
and high opinion of his coaching acumen which is good to
a degree, yet its time to get this team to the next level
and the playoffs will be a major stage for him and his
team to show that they can do it. Hes got major potential
to be an outstanding coach in this league for a long time
and this is another of the many tests young coaches go
through in their development. Youre paid to make the
tough calls and many times you have to be ruthless in
this results-oriented business because at the end of the
day, it all falls back on you and your record. Jackson is
nobodys fool and is as competitive as they come. Its his
show - plain and simple. Never easy or fair. In one word,
you have to produce.
