Graham Criticized for Lack of Motivation
A recent article in the Idaho Statesman rips into Boise State Head Coach Greg Graham for his lack of motivation – both in the community and with his team. This is crazy – it would be one thing if his team was struggling – but they’re not! Currently the Broncos are 16-7 (6-4 WAC) and
Firehobbs.com
Came across this blog this morning and found it pretty interesting: http://firehobbs.blogspot.com/… Obviously George Washington fans are not happy about the state of the program. The Colonials are currently 7-14 (1-8 A-10) with their only A-10 win coming against Fordham (3-18, 1-8). Hobbs has had some good seasons at GW – 27-3 in 05-06 as
Wainwright’s Days Numbered at DePaul?
Jerry Wainwright’s Blue Demon’s fell to 0-11 in the Big East (8-16 overall) this past weekend. With 7 games left, tonight’s match-up with Seton Hall is a big one. The Blue Demon’s have remaining games with Louisville, Pitt, Georgetown, Villanova, St. John’s, and West Virginia. Tonight’s game, and the 2/28 game vs. St. John’s seem
AD backs Lebo at Auburn (sort of….)
Jeff Lebo, who has been on the hot seat all year at Auburn (14-9, 3-5 SEC), got a vote of support from AD Jay Jacobs on Friday. It was not exactly a resounding voice of support however – Jacobs declined an interview and issued this statement: "Jeff Lebo and his team have my full support

AD Yow Supports Williams
Maryland AD Deb You has given her public support to Gary Williams. It looks like his job is safe – not only this year, but until he is ready to call it quits. Good for him. Williams is a great coach who has struggled a bit since winning the 2002 National Championship. I hope they
Players Rally Around Roberts
Rumors have been swirling about the future of St. John’s head coach Norm Roberts. With a 60-76 (23-52 Big East) overall record in four and 1/2 seasons and a 3-6 Big east record this year, critics have been calling for his dismissal. Apparently the players have gotten wind of this and have stepped up to
Kennedy Arrest Caught on Tape
The video from the December 18th arrest of Ole Miss basketball coach Andy Kennedy was made public by WLTW TV 5 in Cincinnati. It’s very interesting to watch as Kennedy begs officers to let him go – claiming it will be an "international" incident if he’s arrested. The best quote from the video comes from
Knight interested in Georgia?
Rumor has it that Bob Knight is interested in vacancy at Georgia. The 68 year old Knight, who is the all-time winningest coach in college basketball history with 902 wins, has said that if the right situation comes along, he would be interested. Is Georgia the right situation? It may be. Knight would be coaching
Press Conference Notes…..
Ok, the press conference just finished and here are my initial thoughts…. Pete Hermann will take over as the interim coach. He was David Robinson’s coach at Navy and brings a lot of experience to the job. He has no chance to keep the job beyond this season. Damon Evans didn’t give specifics on why
