Mid-week report

  • Keep it in the (coaching tree) family: Dick "Hoops" Wise says that Jonathan Huffman is transfering from PitinoVille to Kevin Willard's Iona (no Jeff Ruland there any more)... He also talks about Donovan's flirting with the Memphis/Vancouver Grizzlies and the soap opera that is Donovan's extension at Florida (now rumored at around $3m per year).
  • As you may recall Jonathan Huffman thought he was the next Kevin Garnett and wanted to play the "3" spot... And I want to dunk on the Moon!
  • Book Review!: TheCourtMaster.com reviews the book "Cinderella: Inside the Rise of Mid-Major College Basketball" by Michael Litos, chronicling the magic season of George Mason and the CAA in 2005-2006... More on the CAA at the "CAA Hoops blog. The Amazon page for said book here
  • The Calipari Experiment, a popular topic of most basketball writers is now getting some cyber-ink from Dick "Hoops" Weiss at FoxSports... But let's give Conference USA some more love: Gary Parrish at Sportsline looks at the new and improved UAB of 2007-2008. Remember he has three "BCS" transfers that will be eligible iin 2007-2008 after sitting out and practicing this season. (What is "this season" now anyways? This can get confusing...)

  • Miami's AD resigns a year from now. I'm glad some universities are good at long term planning :-)
  • The Jim O'Brien story just won't go away. His "sentence" is now reduced to two years.

  • Jay Bilas uses lawyer-speak to confuse us with the meaning of "underrated" and "overrated". (espn insider story)
