    Think about all the athletic facilities in the SEC (stadiums, arenas, ball parks, fields and training centers) carrying the names of coaches/players whose careers flourished in the era of segregation in the South. Neyland Stadium comes immediately to mind. Bryant-Denney Stadium. Jordan-Hare...

    Good article: Vandegrift’s Greg Brown III eyes a one-and-done college stay, but where?

    Good analogy. Because the highest rated medical schools, who seek to recruit the highest rated students of course, are currently admitting kids with elite-level talent right out of high school. Typically, the students will have already demonstrated their knowledge and skills through AP...

    Time for a more up tempo style of play

    Pressing teams typically go 8-9-10 players deep to avoid fatigue and fouling out.
