Questions – lots of questions about college basketball – and for every question – an answer! Should Mike Krzyzewski and John Calipari leave Duke and UK, change their recruiting priorities, or keep thrashing with the best talent available? People tend to believe what they last saw, so basketball fans are losing their minds over Kentucky […]
Judging Duke’s Grayson Allen’s habitual tripping might be fun, but wrong
December 22, 2016
December 22, 2016
Today, I was happy my radio show didn’t start until 3p. Prior to that, I joined the chorus of those who chewed out Grayson Allen for his petulant boorishness in tripping an opponent as Duke beat Elon last night.

April 2, 2015
by Kent Sterling The road to this Final Four was paved in one of two ways. Kentucky coach John Calipari has developed a system to acquire as much talent as possible, enacting it immediately upon arrival in Lexington, while the other three either built or continued a culture of excellence that regenerates each year. Indiana […]

October 30, 2013
by Kent Sterling Thinking about basketball is something I can never been able to escape. Basketball is incredibly complicated and almost impossible to execute perfectly, and I love puzzles without a solution. The combination of athletic fluidity, potential for selfishness, and need for specific activity make coaching the game an act of near futility. Click […]
Big Ten Commish Jim Delany Calls for Student-Athlete Stipends
July 25, 2013
July 25, 2013
by Kent Sterling It sounds easy, giving student-athletes a little cash each week for expenses not covered by a scholarship. It sounds like the absolute right thing to do. Being an athlete in college is all consuming, and having a job in the dorm cafeteria isn’t possible because of the investment of time in the […]
