Ex-star Allen says he is catfishing victim

Retired NBA star Ray Allen said he is a victim of “catfishing” and asked a court to throw out a case where he is accused of online stalking. Allen filed an emergency motion in Orange County, Fla., after Bryant Coleman told the court he’s being stalked by Allen. Allen said Coleman is doing the stalking.

“(He) pretended to be a number of attractive women interested in Ray Allen,” read Allen’s motion. “Ray believed he was speaking with these women.” His lawyer released a statement saying Allen took legal action in an effort to end threats against him and his family, and that Allen was the victim “of an online scheme to extract money and embarrass him.”

Tennis: A player who withdraws or performs below professional standards during a first-round singles match at a Grand Slam tournament could be fined under new rules.

NEWS AND NOTES

■ Louisville: The school said in an appeal that the NCAA’s Committee on Infractions imposed “grossly excessive” penalties in ordering the vacation of its 2013 men’s championship and tournament revenue for a sex scandal. The NCAA placed Louisville on four years’ probation and ordered that it vacate up to 123 victories, including the 2013 title and 2012 Final Four appearance. The appeal came after the school’s acknowledgement that it’s been investigated in a federal corruption inquiry into college basketball.
