UCLA reinstates assistant coach arrested on suspicion of burglary
UCLA reinstated assistant football coach Eric Scott, who'd been on administrative leave after an arrest on suspicion of residential burglary last month.
Scott, who was not charged in the burglary, met with head coach Karl Dorrell and UCLA administrators Friday, and Dorrell told the team after Saturday's practice that Scott would be returning.

Landis crashes, but finishes second in Leadville Trail 100
Floyd Landis finished second in a mountain bike race despite a crash that left last year's disgraced Tour de France champion with a bloody right leg.
Landis, unable to defend his 2006 Tour title because of a positive drug test, was runner-up to five-time winner Dave Wiens in the Leadville Trail 100 Mountain Bike Race at Leadville, Colo.
Landis, riding on a surgically repaired hip, had scrapes on his elbows and forearms and bandages on three fingers. His leg was wrapped in blood-soaked gauze from just above his knee to his hip.
BEACH VOLLEYBALL
Walsh, May-Treanor capture Manhattan Beach Open title
Kerri Walsh and Misty May-Treanor rallied from a one-set deficit in the semifinals and final to win the Manhattan Beach Open for a record-tying fourth time.
In the final, they beat Elaine Youngs and Nicole Branagh, 15-21, 14-7 (forfeit), 15-12.
The men play their semifinals and final today.
Walsh and May-Treanor, the top-ranked team in the world and the reigning Olympic gold medalists, tied the women's team record for most Manhattan Beach titles. The record was originally set by Nina Grouwinkel Matthies and Linda Robertson Hanley from 1980 to 1986.
Walsh and May-Treanor also won their 10th straight AVP Tour event. The only time they failed to win an event they entered was the season opener at Miami, when Youngs and Branagh prevailed.
On Saturday, the momentum changed in the second set. Trailing 14-7, Youngs crumpled to the sand with a cramp to her right leg. And since they had already burned their two time-outs, Youngs and Branagh were forced to forfeit the set.
