Given Hewitt's disastrous four years at George Mason (record got worse every year he was there. 24-9 first year with Larranaga's roster, 9-22 in his fourth. No NCAA or NIT bids. School investigated by NCAA for improper recruiting benefits) and the fact he couldn't get hired anywhere else in...

guess Leonard must've told him he wasn't the coach in waiting at F$U. Good for him. Better for us, as I think it will be harder to convince Atlanta kids to play at Mizzou

Lasalle is a rough job, no doubt. Believe they are about to build new facilities for hoops. Not sure of timeline. Agree Dunphy is placeholder, perhaps tied to completion of new gym? Bring in me coach when facilities are better?

Wow..... Saturday in NOLA, the word was that Fran had no interest and Hobbs was the man. Reported concerns about Hobbs among prominent donors was said to be slowing down announcement. Guess they were still working Dunphy behind the scenes

If you like drama and intrigue, watch the Lasalle HC job search. Have been spurned by a couple of their top targets. Allegedly down to final two and think they have their guy, but a couple of very influential boosters aren't sold. Possible that a former UConn Husky with ties to GWU &...

Agree that I expected bigger things from Schrage. Not sure if it was COVID or having to compete for attention with the Big 4 or Peter principle. Moving up I-85 for a spot on Duke bench wouldn't be the worst move for him right now.

Had a chance to chat with Mike Young at NABC. Not over-burdened with personality, but the man clearly knows hoops. I hope he stays at VPI for a while. He will have them competitive most / every year and that's good for the conference. And he's not a raving *** like Uncle Fester Greenberg.

There's actually a You Tube video out there with hundreds of clips of him hopping, jumping and sliding around with no call. I know the NCAA refs have tried to adopt the NBA method of not calling anything, but last night he took seven steps on one move. If everyone gets away with it, so be...

Haven't heard Snyder's in trouble. He seems to be beloved by the Utah folks and I think finishing in the playoffs (6 seed currently, but could end up 5 or 7 easily) again will mean no change. They stayed with Jerry Sloan for 20+ years, some great and some not so good. When he took over...

Crap. There go Pastners best recruiting opportunities. Rumor at NABC has Wojo going to Utah Jazz as assistant and Mike Schrage moving up 85 to take Smith’s seat. Believe Jefferson slides over to take the other AC spot

Looking at various mock drafts, it’s possible Carolina returns everyone other than Manek, as none are projected as NBA players. Don we see another year of Bacot’s seven step, no dribble post moves or Love’s non stop chestthumping after shooting 5-27? Davis is a stud and Leaky holds it...

I'm in NOLA for the NABC conference this week. Walked past a bar called Hobnobbers on Carondelet. Their featured drink is the Grand Theft Alvarado. Woo hoo! Jose has a drink named after him (ok, it's not a drink, it's a happy hour promo, but still....)

In terms of draft position, increasing age hurts most guys far more than improved skills or stats help them. NBA teams would much rather draft an 18 year old who played ok but has load of potentials and the infamous "measurables" and then coach them up in the G League than draft a 22 year old...

Part of the restricted area rule is that if you jump and go completely vertical, it's not a foul. Problem is, as soon as you have contact, your arms naturally start to come down from vertical. (unless you have abs of steel!) Thus, it puts the officials in a miserable no-win call. Did he go...

I was in Vegas the last couple days. Had Duke, Arkansas and Houston, all getting points. Thought Tx Tech would slow it down so took the under and lost. Hope tomorrow turns out as nicely. (Miami, UNC and St Peters and the over in UNC -UCLA). Put $100 on St Peter’s to win the East. $15k...

KA was fun to watch. Biggest argument against some of the hyperbole is his record in ACC (8-6 and 6-8, I believe) and his head to head record against Duke and UnC. (1-4 against Hurley / Duke and 2-3 against King Rice / UNC) Best ACC PG I saw play live were John Lucas and Phil Ford. Best ACC...

Will never forget that one. Was watching my best friend. About a minute after the shot, his wife came into the room holding a pregnancy test and she was grinning ear to ear. 😀. They were both thrilled and I was really happy for them. A double win that day

@orientalnc I was in Denver in '90 also. That Vegas team was great. They beat us in a great game and then just steamrolled Duke in the finals. I've been fortunate to go to a ton of NCAA games over the years (thanks NCAA for putting the first round games close enough to drive!). Hard to...

UNC is actually still pretty highly ranked, though I don't know how it can be after their massive academic scandal.

At player intros for the ND-VPI game, the upper deck was empty and lower bowl was 10-20% full. Madison Sqyare Garden looked packed when I checked on my phone. ACCT tix are selling today for $10 and under. Big East is going for $200 and up NYC is a bad place for the ACCT. we will never be a...
