    MIAMI — If tennis and pickleball are adversaries as some say — the traditional racket sport vs. the upstart with the funny name — then mark Sunday as the first major battle in the war, with the volley of shots fired in South Florida.

Actually, it’s Malzahn’s self-described “right-hand man” SJ Tuohy, who last week announced he is leaving as Malzahn’s director of football operations and chief of staff to become the executive director of The Kingdom NIL — a fundraising collective ...
