. - Charlotte Hornets forward Jeffery Taylor
pleaded guilty Wednesday to a domestic violence charge and admitted he pushed
his girlfriend at a hotel in Michigan.The news came just hours before the
Hornets were set to open the regular season against the Milwaukee Bucks.Taylor
pleaded guilty in East Lansing District Court to domestic abuse and malicious
destruction of property charges. He faces up to 93 days in jail, but prosecutors
say they wont oppose a diversion program that could clear Taylors record if he
complies with probation rules.In exchange for the plea, prosecutors dropped an
assault and battery charge involving an employee at a Marriot hotel in East
Lansing. Authorities have said that Taylor attacked his girlfriend and the
employee Sept. 25.In court Wednesday, Taylor acknowledged that he pushed his
girlfriend and damaged a wall at the hotel.Taylor is from Norrkoping, Sweden,
and lives in Charlotte, North Carolina.After his arrest, the Hornets banned
Taylor from all team-related activities. The team declined comment about the
plea Wednesday afternoon.Hornets general manager Rich Cho said in September that
the team would await the outcome of an NBA-led investigation before making a
decision on Taylors potential return to the team.Cho said on Sept. 29 that it
was appropriate for the organization to act decisively and swiftly in banning
Taylor from all team-related activities.We take domestic violence as a very
serious matter, Cho said at the time.Its unclear if Taylor will face any
punishment from the NBA.The Hornets went 43-39 last season and are hoping to
make a deeper run in the playoffs. Taylor figured into the teams rotation as a
backup.The 6-foot-7, 225-pound Taylor has been competing for the past two
seasons with Michael Kidd-Gilchrist for a starting spot at small forward. He
played in 26 games with eight starts last season before suffering his injury in
late December.As a rookie in 2012, he played in 77 games with 29 starts. He has
averaged 6.6 points and 2.0 rebounds for his career.

. After all, the No. 8 seed is chasing far loftier goals. Raonic, from
Thornhill, Ont., defeated American Jack Sock 6-3, 6-4, 6-4 in Wimbledons second
round on Thursday.The NHL insists the additional two-minute penalty assessed to
any player who purposely removes his helmet to fight has nothing to do with
curbing or decreasing fighting - and everything to do with limiting the
possibility of a player dying as a result of hitting his unprotected head on the
ice. As blunt as that sounds, thats the ultimate fear and the basis behind
offseason debate among competition committee members as to whether a minor
penalty would be enough to deter fighters from dumping their helmets. A
10-minute misconduct or game misconduct was suggested as a much stiffer form of
punishment for those who choose to ignore the leagues obvious safety concerns.
Sources say a cumulative formula was also discussed to address the repeat
offender of the newly formed buckets off rule. A stiffer punishment was not
supported. Instead, the competition committee opted for a softer touch. And on
Thursday night, the spirit of the rule was violated. According to reports, prior
to the second of three fights between Brett Gallant of the New York Islanders
and Krys Barch of the New Jersey Devils, both men consented in removing each
others helmets before exchanging blows. Now both the league and the Players
Association knew this was coming and critics of the minor penalty now have the
evidence to argue that the existing penalty is not a deterrent when both players
agree to break the rule. As it stands now, the penalty reads: (Rule 46.6) "No
player may remove his helmet prior to enggaging in a fight.

. If he should do so, he shall be assessed a
two minute minor penalty for unsportsmanlike conduct. Helmets that come off in
the course of and resulting from the altercation will not result in a penalty to
either player." The introduction of mandatory visors is also a huge factor in
the evolution of the helmet rule. The competition committee feared players would
be more inclined to remove their helmets rather than risk injury in punching a
visor. The code as NHL players refer to, is being redefined. However, players
need to decide whats acceptable and what the new code is. Krys Barch is among
those who are unsure - and while he says he prefers to fight with his helmet
on, as a veteran player he feels for guys like Brett Gallant who are simply
trying to compete for a job. "It should be freedom of choice," Barch told The
Dreger Report on Friday. That said, the NHL and the NHLPA are sensitive to the
role of the enforcer. Players still see a place for fighting in hockey, so its
understandable to see why players on the competition committee might oppose
anything stronger than a minor penalty.  But this is purely about safety - and
league sources say the players must embrace and understand the reasoning behind
the push for a more punitive message. Otherwise, change wont come soon and the
mockery of the rule - as another source described the Gallant-Barch showdown -
cant be stopped. Its not a quick or easy fix.
