by Kent Sterling Tom Crean came to Bloomington with his guns blazing and supreme work ethic careening around Monroe County at a frenzied pitch. He was like Yosemite Sam and the Tazmaniam Devil combined into one manic whirling dervish of recruiting zeal. There were hits and misses with kids and processes, but the one constant […]
by Kent Sterling Devin Davis – gone for pot possession. Hanner Mosquera-Perea – gone for whatever the hell he was doing when Davis got popped. Isaac Griffith – arrested for DUI just over a year after he nearly drowned while swimming in the Gulf of Mexico after drinking. Davis and Mosquera-Perea are now former basketball […]

by Kent Sterling Working in and around sports is not easy, and keeping the cash flowing through tough times is even more difficult. Below are the seven coaches/athletes whose future is the cloudiest as we enter the time of year without meaningful games and the odds each will survive in their positions through the next […]
