Boston College men’s hockey coach Jerry York is retiring after a 50-year career in which he won five NCAA championships and became the sport’s winningest coach ever.

York, 76, finishes with a record of 1,123-682-128. He spent the last 28 seasons at his alma mater, Boston College, and led the Eagles to national titles in 2004, 2011, 2014 and 2018. He also won an NCAA championship during his 15 seasons at Bowling Green from 1979-94. He started his head coaching career at Clarkson in 1972.

York was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame last year as part of the Class of 2020.

MEN’S BASKETBALL

NORTH CAROLINA: Armando Bacot is returning for his senior season after the Tar Heels fell a game short of winning an improbable national championship.

He announced his decision in a social-media video, nine days after the Tar Heels lost to Kansas in the NCAA title game in New Orleans.

Considered a potential second-round NBA draft prospect, the 6-foot-10 junior’s post presence was critical to the eighth-seeded Tar Heels reaching a record 21st Final Four in coach Hubert Davis’ debut season.

He averaged a team-high 16.3 points and ranked third nationally in rebounding (13.1). And he became the first player with six double-doubles in a single NCAA Tournament.

FOOTBALL

WEST VIRGINIA: Former Georgia quarterback JT Daniels announced he is transferring to West Virginia.

Daniels made the announcement on Instagram following a weekend visit to West Virginia’s campus. Daniels also had visited Missouri and Oregon State in recent weeks. He is wrapping up undergraduate classes at Georgia and will be a graduate transfer for the Mountaineers.

In two seasons at Georgia after starting his collegiate career at USC, Daniels completed 69% of his passes for 1,953 yards and 17 touchdowns with five interceptions. He went 7-0 as a starter for the Bulldogs, but was hampered by injuries and was replaced by Stetson Bennett, who led Georgia to the national championship.
