I realize that you may be reading the website at work or some other environment where you might not want people to know what you’re up to. With that in mind, I have taken a cue from CBS March Madness online and NBC’s Olympics coverage by …
Commotion has exploded around the UCLA basketball scene today amidst reports that DePaul University has thrown major bucks at current Bruins coach Ben Howland. DePaul is making it known that they’re willing to pay for a high-quality coach. The …

Kelvin Sampson was fired unceremoniously by Indiana two years ago for committing several recruiting violations, the same issue that got him into trouble at Oklahoma. The Hoosiers started out the ’05-’06 season promisingly, going 17-1 and …
