Free Advice
Yea, I know what they say about free advice…it’s worth what you pay for it. But in any event, here a few thoughts for Lee Fowler and the search committee to consider as they move forward in their quest to find the best possible basketball coach for NC State. 1) The best coach for NC […]
Memphis Could Have Avoided This Mess
In most cases if John Calipari were to stay quiet for this long, someone might want to shove a cell phone under his nose to see if he showed any signs of life. This is different. There can be only two reasons why he has maintained public silence for such a long period: 1) He’s […]
