SAN DIEGO (AP) -In a June 1 obituary on former NBA executive Joe Axelson, The Associated Press reported erroneously that Oscar Robertson was traded after he squabbled with Cincinnati Royals coach Bob Cousy and asked to leave Cincinnati. Cousy and Robertson did not squabble, although their relationship was icy, and Robertson did not ask to leave Cincinnati, according to Michael O'Daniel of Robertson Media Ventures.Copyright © 2005 The Associated Press.
