The transfer rules for the coaches should be the same as for the players and vice versa.

Well, once again I agree. Not only do I not know where NBA players played collegiately, I couldn’t name you fifteen players in the whole league. I also agree about San Antonio. I hope they win because what little of the playoffs I’ve seen of them, they actually do basketball things like run plays, set screens and pass impeccably. Not surprising that they are an old ABA team. Ah, the ABA–now that was fun to watch.

I can’t help it if some of my readers are so provincial.

David, LOL. I kept reading looking for a mention of the NBA; at least some prognostications about where Gorgui or Peyton would be going. At least…

As usual C.D. is right (he loves it when I say that). I stopped reading when he got to soccer.

Knowing that Pitino keeps stats on EVERYTHING, I would love to know the conversion percentage of the Siva high ball screen/clearout in terms of drawing a foul or converting a basket. We haven’t done the Sosa long ball since Edgar left. For the high ball screen, there is never enough time for a second option. If the guard waits for 6 seconds, it’s down to five once he goes into motion and there is no chance for anything but a forced layup. A pass leads to a fumble or a late shot. i’m sure they have a stat for % conversion of a two point basket.

Pitino has no end of game or end of half play. I watched for years at UK and here. The guy with the ball stands out front and pounds the ball until about five seconds left and either throws it up and drives to the hoop while everyone else stands around. There is no play !
