Former Old Dominion and Fayetteville State coach Jeff Capel Jr. died Monday, less than two years after being diagnosed with ALS.
Capel coached at Old Dominion from 1994 to 2001, guiding the Monarchs to the NCAA Tournament twice.
He also spent one year at North Carolina A&T and four seasons at Division II Fayetteville State and assisted with the Charlotte Bobcats (2004 to 2011) and Philadelphia 76ers (2011 to 2013).

“soft tissue” injury to his right shoulder last weekend and could miss Saturday’s game against Fresno State, coach Craig Bohl said.
■ Hockey: At Toronto, NHL greats Dave Andreychuk, Mark Recchi, Teemu Selanne and Paul Kariya and Canadian women’s star Danielle Goyette were inducted into the Hall of Fame.
