I don't think there's any doubt that he's one of the 15 top players in the history of the ACC.
I'd say Illinois, Michigan State and Indiana will probably be the top of the class. But one thing is this year, the league has a lot of balance. When I mention Illinois, Indiana and Michigan State, they are probably the best teams but they aren't going to dominate.
That just goes with the territory whenever you're a superstar and play for a great team. That's a compliment. That means you've made it.
I told him she isn't interested in selling yet.
It's not over. I'm confident they can do it. But it's not a closed case.
They have one of the blue chip coaches in America. Somehow, I think Tom will have his guys competing for a Big Ten Championship again.
It is time for everyone to sit down - the NCAA, the NBA, the players union and the coaching fraternity - and come up with suitable solutions to these problems.
Oh, it's a vital part of the game,
They can't continue to falter, but those wins are so strong over Illinois, Ohio State -- even Michigan. Those are strong, strong wins, but obviously they can't continue to lose at the rate they've been losing.
These guys are teachers, and you can see it watching any of their practices, much less their games. You can watch (the ESPN program) 'Knight School' and see that he still loves to be in a coaching situation. I know he gets a little frustrated with the losses sometimes, but he's still out there doing it.
You don't have to go to Harvard to figure out that the Big East is the best league in the country. You don't have to be a genius. A dummy like me can figure that out. When I look at my coach of the year candidates, Jamie Dixon is in my top five. Jamie has done a fantastic job. He has lost some heartbreakers on the road, but that's because winning on the road in the Big East is so difficult. They've been able to win at home. And that's the key when you play in a tough league. You better win your home games.
It is great to see that D.C. hoops are back in a big way with as many as four possible tournament teams. You have quality coaches who recruit quality kids and they keep the great local kids at home. Yep, college basketball in D.C. is as good as any other area in the country.
I went to church and Jim and his wife, Liz, went to see the home.
I think they are a very dangerous basketball team, a team that could create a lot of problems.
