Tennessee Titans quarterback Vince Young received a misdemeanor assault citation after getting into a fight at a Dallas strip club and leaving before authorities arrived early Sunday, police said.

Surveillance video footage released by police showed the former University of Texas star and several people talking in a small room before Young attacked someone in the room. Others tried to break up the fight.

Young wasn't at Club Onyx when police responded to a call about the fight, said Dallas police Lt. Andy Harvey.

Harvey said an investigation led to Young receiving a Class C assault citation, punishable by a fine up to $500.

Titans spokesman Robbie Bohren said the team was aware of the incident and had contacted Young. He said the team was still gathering information. NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said in a tweet that the league "will look into it."

Titans coach Jeff Fisher was holding his annual charity softball game Sunday night in Nashville. Young was not on the early list of players committed to appear in the game.

The Titans resume on-field sessions Monday.

Young, the No. 3 pick overall in 2006, got his starting job back last fall when Tennessee started 0-6 and owner Bud Adams put him back in the lineup. He helped the Titans win eight of their final 10 and heads into his fifth NFL season with a 26-13 record as a starter.

SAN FRANCISCO -- The San Francisco 49ers received overwhelming approval from voters Tuesday to begin construction of a 68,500-seat stadium in Santa Clara, Calif., about 35 miles south of antiquated Candlestick Park.

An estimated 25,000 registered voters in the hub of Silicon Valley voted yes for the 49ers-backed Measure J by 59.61 percent, giving the storied NFL franchise city funding and access to a parking lot adjacent to Great America theme park – a satellite lot that sits across from the team's headquarters and practice facility.

While backers of a new San Francisco stadium site at Hunters Point, led by former 49ers president Carmen Policy, vow to maintain their campaign to keep the 49ers in their namesake city, the team spent more than $4 million on a campaign that began in 2006 to win over voters in Santa Clara, and received the backing of the city's business and political leaders in doing so.

Final estimates indicate the 49ers may have doled out as much as $200 per voter to secure a new stadium site in the South Bay city of 110,000 residents, just north of San Jose.

The plan also received the approval of NFL commissioner Roger Goodell, who promised the 49ers would get top consideration for a future Super Bowl at the new stadium, which is scheduled to be ready for the 2014 season. Construction is set to begin in 2012.

By contrast, the stadium's opponents in Santa Clara spent about $20,000 in a futile effort to convince voters that the project would drain the city's already taxed general fund and end up a financial risk rather than a revenue generator.

After more than a decade of failed attempts to find a suitable site in San Francisco to replace aging Candlestick Park, the 49ers chose the Santa Clara location because of its freeway access, fewer roadblocks to construction and the fact that much of the team's season ticket base lives in Santa Clara County.

While the precinct results trickled in late Tuesday night, 49ers president and CEO Jed York -- the face of the Santa Clara stadium initiative -- talked about his door-to-door campaign efforts last weekend.

"The most common question was probably, 'Is the name still going to be the San Francisco 49ers?' and the answer is yes. We're the San Francisco 49ers," York said.

Measure J's approval was the boost the franchise needed to finally begin construction of a state-of-the-art stadium facility, in a state strangled by debt and high unemployment, and historically reluctant to contribute public funding for sports arenas.

"It makes it a lot easier to get a stadium built in Northern California," said York, who eagerly watched the vote count with campaign workers and fans at the American Legion hall in Santa Clara. "It's now full go-ahead in Santa Clara."

Under the terms of the deal, Santa Clara will contribute $114 million of taxpayer money to help fund the proposed $937 million stadium, a package that will include $42 million in redevelopment funds and a hotel guest tax.

A Santa Clara stadium authority is expected to contribute as much as $330 million by adding a ticket surcharge and selling bonds, naming rights, vendor rights and seat licenses.

The 49ers say they will fund the remaining $500 million for the project, and have promised Santa Clara residents through a fiercely negotiated "term sheet" that the franchise will be responsible for any construction cost overruns and revenue shortfalls if and when the stadium is built and opens for business.

Santa Clara also promised residents it would upgrade mass transit in the area to address traffic concerns, and that the city would work to control noise and possible rowdiness in neighborhoods that might result from NFL game day crowds.

Russian billionaire Mikhail Prokhorov has his first NBA coach in New Jersey: ESPN analyst Avery Johnson.

After breaking into the coaching business under Mark Cuban in Dallas and interviewing with New Orleans and Atlanta in recent weeks, Johnson on Wednesday struck a verbal agreement to coach Prokhorov's Nets.

Although the sides might need the rest of the week to finalize what sources close to the situation say will be a three-year contract, Johnson confirmed the agreement in a Wednesday afternoon interview with ESPN's Hannah Storm.

"We're excited about it," Johnson told Storm. "We've come to a verbal agreement and hopefully the Nets will have an official announcement tomorrow. But, yes, I am headed to New Jersey."

Prokhorov understandably wanted to make the biggest possible splash with his first hire and ultimately sanctioned the selection of Johnson, who is completing his second season at ESPN after posting the highest winning percentage (.735) in NBA coaching history in three-plus seasons in Dallas. Johnson was fired by the Mavericks in May 2008, in spite of his 194-70 record, after consecutive first-round playoff defeats.

Taking the Nets' job takes Johnson out of the running in Atlanta after three face-to-face interviews with the Hawks, which followed a contentious end to Johnson's candidacy with the Hornets after the New Orleans native was initially presumed to be the favorite with his hometown team.

The Hawks met with Johnson as recently as Saturday, when general manager Rick Sund came to his house in Houston. But Atlanta, according to NBA coaching sources, is now expected to choose by week's end between Dallas Mavericks assistant Dwane Casey, holdover Hawks assistant Larry Drew and ESPN/ABC's Mark Jackson.

Although Casey is widely regarded as the favorite, largely because of his longstanding relationship with Sund dating to their days together in Seattle, sources say Drew has made a late charge.

Sources told ESPN.com this week that there is some sentiment in the organization that Drew might be "the next Alvin Gentry," referring to the Phoenix coach who was passed over by the Suns when Mike D'Antoni left the team in May 2008. Gentry eventually landed the job halfway through the 2008-09 season and helped lead unheralded Phoenix to the Western Conference finals this season.

In New Jersey, Johnson will take over a team that flirted with the league's worst all-time record before finishing 12-70. Yet it can be argued that the Nets' job was the most attractive on the board, after factoring in Prokhorov's presumed willingness to spend, New Jersey's salary-cap space this summer to sign top top-tier free agents and its possession of the No. 3 overall pick in the draft later this month to pair with promising young center Brook Lopez and point guard Devin Harris.

ESPN.com reported in early April that Harris was making a hard internal push for his former coach in Dallas, despite the fact that the ever-demanding Johnson rode Harris hard as he was learning the nuances of NBA point guard play.

"You look at a team that won 12 games, so the sky's the limit," Johnson said of the Nets' future during his ESPN interview. "... There's so many great possibilities and so much potential here."

Prokhorov's impending arrival immediately prompted speculation that New Jersey would try to lure Mike Krzyzewski to the pros with an offer of $12 million to $15 million annually, but Krzyzewski made it clear that he has no interest in leaving Duke for the NBA. The Nets likewise had strong interest in ESPN/ABC analyst Jeff Van Gundy, but Van Gundy told team president Rod Thorn that he wanted to stay in television for at least one more season. ESPN.com also reported recently that New Jersey made back-channel inquiries to determine if it had any shot of convincing Nets alumnus Phil Jackson to consider a return to the Nets should he leave the Lakers at season's end.

Johnson was the only coach from the Nets' initial wish list to formally interview. Although the Nets did have conversations with Boston Celtics assistant coach Tom Thibodeau before Thibodeau agreed Saturday to coach the Chicago Bulls, Johnson was the only known candidate to have a face-to-face interview with Thorn.

"It's exciting," Johnson said of the Nets' long-term outlook. "I'm glad to have the opportunity."

Johnson was the NBA's Coach of the Year in 2005 and took the Mavs to the NBA Finals in 2006, before the back-to-back early playoff exits to Golden State and New Orleans and rising tensions in the Mavericks' locker room brought an end to his tenure just one year into a lucrative four-year contract extension he received from Cuban.

Thorn, though, was apparently drawn to Johnson's forceful nature, hoping that the Li'l General -- as Johnson was known during his playing days in San Antonio -- can be a steadying force for such a young team.

How dramatically New Jersey's roster changes in free agency remains to be seen. During a recent analyst appearance, Johnson insisted that the best option for Cleveland's LeBron James is signing with the Nets, but he was careful to avoid any potential tampering violations when Storm asked him about James.

"No comment now," Johnson said, laughing. "Who are you talking about?"

Pressed on free agency in general, Johnson added: "If I'm a free agent, New Jersey would be the place that I would want to go."

Storm then asked Johnson, 45, if he can deliver the championship Prokhorov says he hopes to win with the Nets in five years or less.

"Yes," Johnson said. "That's why I took the job."
