  • Siena women hire VMI men’s assistant

    14 May 2012 | 5:32 pm
    New Siena women’s basketball coach Ali Jaques said she wanted to think “outside the box” in hiring an assistant for her staff. She did that on Monday by bringing aboard Jack Castleberry, who spent the past four seasons as an assistant with the Virginia Military Institute men’s basketball team. The two knew each other because Jaques’ brother, Curtis, is an assistant men’s lacrosse coach at VMI. It’s the first time the Siena women have hired a Division I men’s assistant, according to school records. “I really wanted to bring someone over to…

    The Siena men’s basketball team has completed its 2012-13 schedule, nailing down a game against La Salle of the Atlantic 10 on Dec. 29 at Times Union Center. The teams had been talking for a while, but there was some question whether La Salle might have a scheduling conflict because of a televised game. That has been resolved. Siena would return the game to Philadelphia in the 2013-14 season. The Explorers went 21-13 and played in the National Invitation Tournament last season. They return four starters, including all-Atlantic 10 second team selection Ramon Galloway, a 6-3 guard, and…

    Jeff Eisenberg
    16 May 2012 | 11:01 am
    One of the feel-good stories in last year's Mountain West was Wyoming forward Leonard Washington putting his troubled tenure at USC behind him and making the most of his fresh start. That's why it's unfortunate to see the senior-to-be jeopardizing the good will he built up in Laramie last season because of recent off-the-court issues. Wyoming coach Larry Shyatt suspended Washington indefinitely April 4 for unspecified team rules violations. Then Tuesday, Washington was sentenced for battery and criminal entry as a result of an April 15 incident in which he allegedly entered a house party…

  • Amile Jefferson’s commitment is badly needed good news for Duke

    In the midst of a discouraging offseason featuring early defections, unfounded transfer rumors and a flurry of misses on high-profile recruits, Duke finally received some badly needed good news. The Blue Devils landed power forward Amile Jefferson, the lone unsigned consensus top 40 recruit in the class of 2012. Jefferson, a 6-foot-7 McDonald's All-American from Philadelphia, chose Duke over ACC rival NC State, Kentucky, Villanova and Ohio State. Duke made him a priority after the early signing period and put on a full-court press after fellow elite power forward Tony Parker chose UCLA over…

    For anyone either unable or unwilling to endure the 20 minutes of administrative blather that accompanied VCU's announcement it's headed to the Atlantic 10, here's the gist of school president Michael Rao's justification for the decision. He believes VCU has outgrown the CAA. He thinks VCU is prepared for a major step up in competition. And he expects the money generated by longterm success in the Atlantic 10 to outweigh the short-term costs of making the switch. Ultimately that's the gamble the Rams are taking by making the leap next fall to the league generally considered to be the nation's…

Certainly my friends in the ACC, Big Ten, Big 12, Pac 10 and SEC can all argue that with a few weak teams in the bottom few spots each of them were sometimes ranked higher overall, but as far as having the most top level players and teams, this run was unmatched.While I am excited about the additions of a Houston team that I believe is on the verge of going to the next level, and…

  • Table of JUCOs Value Add; with Jamail Jones gone there is an outside possibility of a big JUCO stepping in

    29 Apr 2012 | 4:01 am
    Marquette has recently lost some size with Aaron Durley going to TCU and Jamail Jones transferring out. This might leave open an outside chance Marquette would try to go to the JUCO ranks to attempt to get someone like Jameel McKay or even Keith Coleman. However, in general there is not a lot of value in the JUCO ranks. Of the top 100 JUCO transfers last year, only 51 had any Value Add. Certainly Buzz was masterful with JUCOs to quickly fill the void, but now that MU is deep there is not the need for a quick fix. It is certainly possible that JUCO player of the year could be a top 100 player…

  • Lockett could be a huge upgrade, particularly as Otule ranks as 18th best 2013 player 6'11 or taller and Nolan could be in the wings

    23 Apr 2012 | 12:00 am
    With Chris Otule coming back as the 18th best true big men in the country next year, the possibility that Trent Lockett might sign this week to fill the spot of the just released Aaron Durley would be a huge upgrade for MUs prospects in 2013. I do encourage people to do their own searches by clicking here on the database of all players, and when you punch in Durley and Lockett, here is what you get: Season RankPlayerTeamHtClassOffDefPG/PerValue AddYear 1497Durley, AaronMarquette6'9"1 Fr0.43-0.1900.632013 1048Lockett, TrentAvailable6'4"4 Sr1.29001.292013 1428Lockett, TrentArizona St.6'4"3…

  • Could Marquette have most balanced team in 2012-13; and another 3-seed?

    16 Apr 2012 | 12:37 am
    Since I ran the initial projections for next year's rankings hours after the national championship, a good number of things have settled out with high school players choosing colleges and college players deciding to go pro or stay. After Brew's excellent piece on the good job MU is doing to schedule to get a better shot at a high seed, I was thrilled to rerun the numbers and see Marquette shoot up to a 3-seed.In addition, several fans pointed out in the projections that the big problem was that a top recruit that was saddled on the bench for a year someplace like Kentucky should still project…

    15 May 2012 | 1:06 pm
    Here's a quick rundown of the happenings in the Pac-12 over the past week. --- It appears as if former UCLA great Bill Walton will call Pac-12 games on ESPN next season. --- Former Washington star Isaiah Thomas finished a distant seventh in the NBA Rookie of the Year race behind Cleveland's Kyrie Irving. Many believed Thomas, the Sacramento point guard, was among the top four rookies this season. It's no surprise Ricky Rubio and Kenneth Faried finished second and third respectively. Kawhi Leonard, Iman Shumpert and Klay Thompson, the former Washington State star, finished fourth, fifth and…

    Why do we get to a point where we get embarrassed about things? Where we can’t laugh at ourselves? Remember when you were a kid and you wore whatever you wanted and acted however you wanted? By acted, I mean you didn’t care what people thought of you. Early grade school. Those were the days. I want to get back to that point. I want to be myself without thinking what other people think. I feel like worrying about those things has also hurt my creativity in some ways. I think I’m slowly getting there. I’m hoping my YouTube page can be that outlet. I want to be myself. I…

I want to post a new video at least once every two weeks. I’ve been scared to take risks on it for several reasons. The main one being I’m scared of failure. But why? Who cares. The videos I already have on there are of me making fun of myself anyways and being goofy. That’s who I am. So what changed? Why am I scared to create and make more videos? It’s not hard. Am I…

    2013 Paul VI Catholic guard Stanford Robinson made his first trip to Bloomington on Monday. He left with nothing but positive things to say about the overall experience. “We got to see a lot of the campus, the Student Union, Assembly Hall, the practice facility,” Robinson told Inside the Hall on Tuesday night. “We played open gym and saw the dorms. It was a good experience. The coaches were real friendly. I could see myself having a great relationship with the coaches. And then I had one of my former coaches down there, Coach (Kenny) Johnson.” The 6-foot-4 guard, rated…

    After watching his two older brothers go through it, former IU and current New Orleans Hornets guard Eric Gordon believes the recruiting process will be easier for Eron Gordon to navigate. The 14-year old Gordon, who will play at North Central High School next winter, already has offers from Indiana and Purdue and interest from several Big Ten schools. “It should be an easier process for him since I was the first son,” Eric Gordon said at the adidas May Classic on Saturday. “He’ll be aware of it and it’s going to be his choice and he’ll have fun with…

    Matchups for the 14th annual Big Ten-ACC Challenge were announced today and Indiana, projected by many as a top three preseason team, will host North Carolina on Tuesday, Nov. 27. The Challenge, won by the Big Ten the previous three seasons, will be played on Nov. 27 and Wednesday, Nov. 28. The Hoosiers won their Big Ten-ACC Challenge game last season at North Carolina State. It was the program’s first win in the event since beating Georgia Tech in 2007. Start times and broadcast information will be released at a later date. North Carolina is the fifth confirmed non-conference opponent…

  • 2012 Euroleague Final: Olympiacos Tops CSKA in a Game for the Ages

    Carl Berman
    14 May 2012 | 12:50 pm
    Amazing doesn’t begin to describe Olympiacos’ unbelievable run at the 2011-2012 Euroleague championship. Down 19 points to CSKA Moscow with a little over 12 minutes remaining, the Greek club then went on a furious 28-8 run to win it on a Georgios Printezis floater with 0.7 seconds remaining. It was a comeback of such historical proportions by the Oly that I’m admittedly personally incapable of finding words to describe the feelings of those watching on that moment the game ended. So I won’t try. This is the Reds’ second Euroleague title in club history. After so many years of…

    The 2011-12 Turkish Airlines Euroleague season champion will be crowned on Sunday in Istanbul in a showdown between CSKA Moscow and Olympiacos Piraeus, who won their respective semifinals on Friday. CSKA Moscow survived one of the greatest semifinal games in Euroleague history to edge mighty Panathinaikos 66-64. The game went down to the wire and the Greens had a chance to tie it – or win it – on the last possession, but CSKA’s rock-solid defense denied the Greek champs even a shot. Andrei Kirilenko led the winners with 17 points, 9 rebounds and 4 blocked shots. Alexey Shved added 15…

    The other semifinal features Regal FC Barcelona and Olympiacos Piraeus. That’s a rematch from the championship game of two years ago. While Barça remains an elite class squad, although no longer a dominant force on a level of their own, Oly has changed a lot. A couple of years ago Olympiacos was a team filled with high profile commodities such as Teodosic, Theo Papaloukas, Linas Kleiza, Josh Childress, Ioannis Bouroussis and Sofoklis Schortsanitis. The owners are no longer rich enough to afford talent at that price range and how they made it to the Final Four this year is one great story…

    This past weekend there was a coaching clinic in Las Vegas, Nevada that attracted high school and middle school coaches from all over the country. Like most similar clinics this one ran for a few hours Friday night, all day Saturday, and part of the day on Sunday. To attend this clinic a coach would have had to pay airfare (approximately $300), registration fee ($150), hotel accommodations (approximately another $300 if he stayed at the host hotel), and meals ($100) for a total of $850. If he parked his car at his home airport or needed any ground transportation while in Vegas, his expenses…

    Besides conducting practices, helping their players improve their skill sets, scheduling games, scouting opponents, and managing games, coaches have certain legal responsibilities that they must follow. Most “school” coaches are instructed and trained in these responsibilities but many “club” coaches are not.

Keep a body-ball-defender relationship when dribbling the ball near an opponent. Cross over, or switch dribbling hands, after dribbling past an opponent to protect the ball Stay in the middle areas of the court and away from the corners when dribbling to avoid getting trapped   Dribbling Don’ts Don’t automatically put the ball on the floor and begin dribbling immediately after receiving the ball…

Does it describe you or any of your teammates? “In last week’s column I discussed the differences in the attitudes of winners and losers. This week I will point out some more major differences. One is paramount: Winners work. Failures I have found don’t work very hard. Many of them will talk a good job and will be happy to tell you how hard they work and how much they do. But the sad fact is that they do very little. They tend to be clock watchers. If 5…
