    FBI arrests several NCAA basketball coaches

    The financial advisor was being investigated by FBI. He was trying to get a lesser penalty, so he started the ball rolling on Adidas and college athletics.

    Major Potential Shift In NCAA Transfer Rules

    players should have the same freedom of movement as coaches. If coaches are willing to sit out a year to move to a new school . . .

    Good read on where 5* recruits may end up. Although I don't agree with a couple of them.

    Key words: believe, probably, assume. If y'all get Shittu, he'll be a fan favorite. Really fun to watch his hustle.

    Zagoria: UK wants Shittu to visit

    I saw him play at Peach Jam as well--I loved watching him play.

    Steph Curry makes fun of Lebron; Kyrie laughs.

    My two cents: 1) defense is important in the NBA, but offense is more important. A team can live with a defensive liability who can take over a game offensively. I wish that were not true, but it is. 2) Irving is not one of the top handful of players night in/night out throughout the season...

    Marvin Bagley III, the country's No. 1 basketball recruit, could skip senior year to play for Duke o

    My only point is that Duke's fans are less concentrated in NC than are Carolina's or State's and extend pretty much everywhere, although the greatest concentration outside of NC is probably the Northeast. I travel a lot, and I wear Duke hats a lot, and you can find Duke fans all over. Lot harder...

    Marvin Bagley III, the country's No. 1 basketball recruit, could skip senior year to play for Duke o

    I've been a Duke fan since 1977, went to High School, College, and grad school in North Carolina, including one degree from Duke. Does that meet your criteria? The reactions to my post are interesting. I didn't say anything about Duke being great or anything bad about UNC, State, or UK. I was...

    Marvin Bagley III, the country's No. 1 basketball recruit, could skip senior year to play for Duke o

    It surely isn't NCSU. Not even close. 40 years ago the state was probably 50% UNC, 40% NCState, 10% Wake/Duke/whatever. Statewide, I'd say Duke may now be #2 in NC. State's popularity has become far more centered around Raleigh than it used to be. UNC is clearly bigger than Duke, but it is...

    Bagley considering reclassifying for this season

    Point. 5'-10" or so right now. Google his highlights.

    Bagley considering reclassifying for this season

    You must have been quick. I corrected that pretty fast.

    Bagley considering reclassifying for this season

    I'm at Peach Jam. I don't claim to be an expert evaluator. Bagley: big, physical specimen. I wasn't as impressed as I thought I would be. His dad is pretty domineering from the stands. Shittou: most impressive performances I've seen here. Inside strength, runs floor, can pass, great effort...

    What went wrong @ TT?

    Because Memphis is the obvious stepping stone to his ultimate goal: to be the head coach at UK.

    Its Murray Going Pro

    Did he have two caps on the table, one for UK and one for the NBA and started to put on the UK cap and then went for the NBA one?

    Anyone know what this is about?

    Question: (I like the rule, btw) Cal said the rule "hurts kids." I understand how it can hurt a program or a coach, but I can't figure how it hurts kids. What did he mean?

    Cal Says - "It's On Me"

    One of the great challenges of all coaches is to develop team chemistry and an effective system for this group of players. That's why all coaches, all things being equal, would prefer to have their starting 5 to be all juniors and seniors. Of course, all things aren't equal, and the best...
