"I believe the Kansas basket­ ball coach had the power to hold his athletics director in his hand like a dove," Bohl said after he was fired Wednesday. "And he had a choice to either crush me with his power At Ernst & Young, you will be given the best tools of influence or let me fly with to work with, such as the latest technology, my vision for a better, total program.

"On the basis of these con­ versations and my own evalua­ tion of the situation, I came to the conclusion a change of leadership was needed at this time," Hemenway said, adding that he made the decision while returning from the Final Four. But Hemenway took pains to say Williams never asked for Bohl's removal, a move he stressed was not necessarily intended to placate the basket­ ball coach - who is expected to receive an offer any day to return to North Carolina to coach at his alma matter. "This is not a Roy versus AI decision," Hemenway said. Bohl, however, said other­ wise. In an extraordinary news conference 30 minutes later at his home, Bohl blamed his fir­ ing squarely on Williams. "It is bad when a basketball coach can have the ability to hire and fire someone," Bohl said. Hired in 2001 to replace Williams' close friend and longtime Jayhawks athletic director Bob Frederick, Bohl clashed early and often with Williams. Bohl's dismissal has been viewed as an almost foregone conclusion since rumors sur­ faced in February that UCLA would pursue Williams, whose Jayhawks have won nine con­ ference championships and more than 400 games in 15 years and lost to Syracuse in the NCAA title game Monday night. But the speculation intensi­ fied after North Carolina coach Matt Doherty resigned before the Final Four, opening the position that Williams - a for­ mer North Carolina assistant and protege of Dean Smith - passed up three years ago. And now that Hemenway has acted, when will Williams?

BASEBALL Axford K's his way to 12th straight Irish win

By BRYAN KRONK Senior SraffWrirer

When the hitting got cold for the Irish. John Axford got hot. The sophomore right-hander struck out 12 batters, and some key defensive plays kept the Irish in the game before a late offensive rally boosted Notre Dame to a 7-1 victory over Western Michigan at Eck Stadium Wednesday night. "[Assistant coach David Grewe and II both thought that it was going to be a low-scoring game," head coach Paul Mainieri said. "That kid [Broncos' starter Keith] Perez is a good pitcher - he beat us in Kalamazoo a couple years ago. We just had the feeling it was going to be a low-scoring game." And it was a low scoring game for much of the duration. The Irish were able to manu­ facture single runs in the first and fifth innings, while a solo home run in the third for Western Michigan tied the game for a while. Not that either team didn't produce any opportunities. Two key scoring opportunities by the Broncos late in the game were thwarted by impressive defensive plays by the Irish. With a runner on second and two outs in the top of the seventh, a Western Michigan player singled to center field. The runner rounded third as center fielder Brennan Grogan fired his relay throw, which arrived in plenty of time for catcher Javi Sanchez to tag the runner out at home. "Grogan made a major league play throw­ ing the guy out at the plate," Mainieri said. "Perfect throw, hit the cutoff man on one bounce, great catch by Javi.
