by Kent Sterling VCU head coach Shaka Smart is going to be offered the UCLA job if he wants it. Duke assistant Chris Collins has reportedly interviewed for the Northwestern job. There will be dozens of jobs available this offseason – USC, Minnesota, Ball State, among the many others – and Brad Stevens will be […]
by Kent Sterling Twitter is a wonderful tool for communication. It’s immediate, capable of sending a tightly crafted message to millions, and can be as dangerous as it is helpful. Tonight, I saw this – “Parents take control of the recruiting process as early as 5th grade. Visit a college campus on ur own, plant […]
by Kent Sterling Weird on a day that saw the Indiana Hoosiers lose to Butler to write about what a great job Tom Crean is doing in Bloomington as the architect of a reclamation project that the programmers of HGTV wouldn’t touch with a ten foot support beam.

by Kent Sterling For seven weeks, I’ve been a St. Louisan as the program director of 101 ESPN – one of the best sportstalk radio stations in America. This is the first move my family has made in 18 years, and the first time as bona fide adults. There is a lot to know, and […]
