I read on a blog somewhere that Misty May’s butt single-handedly (no pun intended!) saved NBC’s ratings at the ’04 Olympics. She and Kerri Walsh are preparing for this year’s Olympics by playing on the AVP beach volleyball tour.
Here are a few highlights from the Sydney Olympics to get you ready:
You are not going to believe what the leading scorer at Buffalo posted on his facebook account. Read the following:
The junior guard, who averaged 13.4 points per game, posted a message on Facebook last week that looked like this:
“I am paying anybody who have read the book `there are no children here’ by Alex Kotlowitz $30-40 which in some classes you have to read at UB (even more money if you have to read the book a little more!!) to write a 3-4 page paper, on a couple questions which was assigned.”
No wonder he was begging for help.
Another student found the ad and told the school’s student newspaper, the Spectrum.
Suspended, he should be expelled for being so blatantly dumb. Come on guy!
Former Indiana Head Coach Kelvin Sampson appears to be headed for an assistant position with Scott Skiles and the Milwaukee Bucks. I think it is a great move for him. His ego is such he will become a very good NBA coach. More importantly, now the NCAA can go after someone else’s phone records. Mark my words Sampson will be a head coach in the NBA in less than 5 years.
Glad to see him land on his feet.
Stanford Still Looking: AD Bob Bowlsby was in Philly this week to offer the job to Larry Brown. Brown rejected him as he wants a job that will not keep him from relocating and also give him a chance at a national championship. Can you understand why Jay Wright’s name has been mentioned as a future coach in the NBA.
Others on the list are Doug Wojcik. He has done a solid job at Tulsa, but certainly has underachieved by that program’s standards over the years. Oh, he did win the CBI. I know what is that?
Larry Krystowiak, who was just fired by the Bucks, is the latest name to be thrown out there.
My money is on Wojcik. The former assistant at Michigan State has one of the hardest working guys in the business pulling for him, Tom Izzo.
The Suns and Mavs head home, down 2-0, for crucial Game 3’s, while the upstart Sixers host the Pistons with the series tied, 1-1. If Phoenix and Dallas can pull of wins tonight, it’s going to set up two great Game 4’s on Sunday. If they lose… well, it’s pretty much over.
Detroit and Philly square off at 7 PM ET on ESPN2, and the Mavs/Hornets kick off ESPN’s double-header at 8 PM ET.
Naismith POY Tyler Hansbrough has decided to return to North Carolina for his senior year.
However, sophomores Ty Lawson and Wayne Ellington will declare for the NBA draft, but will not hire agents — leaving open the possibility of their return.
Hansbrough, a 6-foot-9 forward, averaged 22.6 points and 10.2 rebounds. He led the Tar Heels (36-3) to the winningest season in school history and the Final Four while sweeping the major national player of the year awards. He already has qualified to become the eighth player in school history to have his jersey retired.
Hansbrough’s return wasn’t a big surprise considering he has long talked about his determination to win a national championship before he leaves school.
This isn’t a shock considering he isn’t playing basketball just to make a lot of money someday. It probably won’t hurt his draft stock much as scouts have had three years to pick him apart and they aren’t going to find much more to complain about if he stays in school another year. Obviously, his return makes North Carolina the favorite to win the ACC again. Duke should be better, but the Tar Heels still look like the class of the conference.
