Beverley agent eyeing Europe, D-League.
Patrick Beverley’s agent says he’s working on lining up a team for the former Arkansas guard to join in Europe – and that Beverley could also end up in the NBA Development League.

“We’re just trying to look through a couple different options for him, European-wise,” said Bernie Lee, who represents Beverley.

Lee, of Lee Basketball Services, didn’t want to say who Beverley might sign with overseas. He said he might consider the NBA D-League as an option for his client. Beverley played two seasons at Arkansas. He would have been the team’s top returning scorer, but the school announced in August he wouldn’t be playing this season. The school didn’t say why.

Beverley started 33 games last season, averaging 12.1 points per game.

Southeast Missouri fires AD.

Southeast Missouri State has fired its athletic director and placed its men’s basketball coach on administrative leave three days after the NCAA notified the school of possible major violations.

The firing of Don Kaverman and discipline of Scott Edgar on Thursday came three months after the women’s basketball team forfeited 44 victories, and the women’s and men’s programs were placed on two years’ probation for major and secondary violations.

The school in Cape Girardeau, Mo., said in a release that Kaverman was placed on administrative leave until Feb. 7, 2009, when his contract will end. Associate athletic director Cindy Gannon was appointed as interim director. The school hopes to hire a replacement by Jan. 1.
