Building a career as a college or professional basketball coach is tough – really tough. The combination of luck, timing, work ethic, and strategic acumen needed to get ahead is dizzying, and I don’t wish a career in that business on anyone. There is no more cited example of how young coaches make good than […]
One Indiana championship dream ended today as Kofi Cockburn swatted away a potential game-winning reverse layup by De’Ron Davis. Another began as the MMFAA (Make March Fun Again Association) Tourney Bracket was revealed. The Hoosiers narrowly missed their first ever Big 10 Tournament Championship this afternoon, losing 67-66 – the exact same score as the game Indiana lost […]

First of all, if you are one of those lunatics who insist this decade will end with after 2020, please stop reading. I cannot help you, and your thoughts on correct decade definition are bonkers.

Today we congratulate a couple of guys who do it right, and are being rewarded for it. Butler AD Barry Collier has earned a five-year extension, and Purdue’s Matt […]
Butler lost to Nebraska last night in the opening round of a tournament the Bulldogs never wanted to play in. Expectations are higher than that at Hinkle Fieldhouse. Butler is one of just a few teams to play in and win at least one game during the past four NCAA Tournaments, so a trip to […]
