Would Brad Stevens leave the Celtics? 78, If I was Brad, I would stay put. The college game has changed a great deal since he left it. Although, he certainly has learned how to acquire and pay professionals so, maybe it’s not such a stretch. 😁 More importantly, he could win an NBA championship this...

My question is, what is so great about Calipari lately? The guy has done nothing in recent years, with basically an unlimited support system. I guess his overall history still gives him clout, it'll be interesting to see what his contract pays him. Crazy! draft picks? Haven't followed him that clos...

Imagine having an NBA point guard on your roster and playing him off the ball so a sub 30% shooter could jack up 6 a game. One of the many things that makes DH a great coach is he understands the importance of line of authority within the team concept. DH is in charge and everyone falls in line und...

Imagine having an NBA point guard on your roster and playing him off the ball so a sub 30% shooter could jack up 6 a game. That all stemmed from the deal to make Cox the coach in waiting.

I saw DH hug PMurphy in the handshake line , I forget was Murphy an assistant for DH @ Rhody ? Yes. 3 former Rhody assistants in that game. Preston, Luke, and Tom Moore.

Somebody suggested college teams need GMs now. I think they're right. Might as well add a separate department for scouting, scouts who can go around the country looking at players during the season when the assistants are busy actually coaching. Might as well create some new positions. It's basical...

A good thing about the portal is if you don’t get your guy now, there’s a good chance you will get another crack at landing him later. In the words of Gordon Gekko, recruiting never sleeps. Or, did he say it was money ? :D Greed is good. That phrase is etched above the entrance to the NCAA offices....

"Archie Miller connected with Ben Hammond right away, they are the same player, short, smart, hard nosed, tough guard at NC State. Ben Hammond is the exact same way" Lot of talk about him and about the Archie connection. He's short - no matter how he does, those P5 schools aren't taking f...

Why would anyone think the NCAA could enforce a salary cap with a number any better than they used to when the cap number was zero?

If Georgetown wanted KJ, it seems bizarre to me that they wouldn't just get it done by now and have him in the fold. Like at this point, he's missed a couple weeks of recruiting. Why wait until after the Final Four to hire someone unless it is an assistant on one of the remaining teams? Providence'...

If a player like Joseph commands 500k we are screwed. I seriously doubt that number though. 100k tops. It's like everyone has a price tag attached to them. It's gotten beyond ridiculous. Everyone has a price tag. With (very) rare exception though...no one knows what's written on that price tag

Hearing that Bassy is high on Fordham’s radar. That would be perfect. He can go there, average 20 a game, and the team will win 10 games a year - but two of those will be against us when he goes off for 40 each time. It would be the absolutely perfect storm of frustration for us. No, that's second ...
