Per Darren Wolfson, Steve has been released from his position as the Gophers' bb S&C Coach. I believe some players are seeing the beginning of the end for their careers at the 'U'. The new mantra for coach Pitino; 'In shape you play, out of shape you might want to look elsewhere to play basketball.'
According to Darren Wolfson per Mike Ellis, Villa 7 will meet in Minneapolis that weekend, with over 80 AD's and over 90 men and women assistants.
Tremendous PR for the Twin Cities and a sidebar plus for the U.
On ESPNU's Signing Day Special Dave Telep asks Rick Pitino. What Recruiting advice did you give Richard?
Rick: I found out thru the Celtics, you only win when you have great players, regardless of what system you run, how prepared you are. You have to get the same players as Michigan, Indiana...

From GL: "Here's the deadspin article that just was put up with his contract details:"...
Thought this would be a good thread to ruminate about all the possibilities.
1. Mark Lieberman- 16 years HS coach, spent last 2 years at Louisville. Last year as Dir. of Operations and 2010-11 assistant coach. Rick Pitino had some good things to say about him.

On Tru TV before the Wis. vs Mississippi game, Ryan when asked about Wisconsin's style of play as plodding or boring, compared to up tempo play. Ryan says

"Nettleton (Jonesboro, Ark.) High's Victor Dukes isn't listed in any Class of 2015 recruiting databases, but maybe he should be, since the 6-foot-3 sophomore can apparently explode so high off the court he looks down on the basket. Just ask the posterized Manila (Ark.) High defender who...

Don't know if any of you have noticed how on ESPN the Kentucky vs Texas A&M the shot clock is superimposed at the bottom of the painted section right next to the out of bounds. I thought it would be a great addition to BIG games. Any thoughts?
Wow, what a game between Butler and Gonzaga. Bulldogs win on last second steal and basket and then Cuse defeats Louisville. Mich St beats tOSU, Mizzou loses, Wichita St beats Creighton. What a day for basketball!!!!
