As TCTornado pointed out Colangelo has had a large hand in the development of the GCU program. I wouldn't be surprised if Colangelo was involved in getting Finke to commit as well. He might have a connection to Tim's father as fellow alums.

I really wish that the athletic department took more care in choosing the charity that proceeds from tonight's game will be donated to. I've read a lot about the Red Cross' response to hurricanes and it certainly seems lacking. Would have liked to see them donate to local charities (preferably...

I believe 10 days is known as a Scaramucci.

This is one thing that can help us with Mark Smith. Obviously many of us think that he should have been rated higher by the recruiting services, but his late arrival on the scene kept his ranking depressed. This could have a benefit for us down the road if he does succeed at Illinois and makes...

I don't think you need to do that. If Smith is going to be making his decision next week and Moore isn't going to be making his for over a month (after he's done with the semester at Cal, as he has previously noted) then if you get Smith he'd probably be less interested in Illinois. In that...

I happened to play bball with Roger Powell at Ubben the night that Bill Self was packing up his office after announcing that he was leaving for Kansas. Needless to say, Roger explicitly was talking about transferring and that others on the team were talking that way as well. He didn't mention...

I understand your argument that different standards aren't fair, but practically speaking asking a coach to sit out a year isn't possible. How could you ever hire a coach from another program if they had to sit out a year? Hire an interim that knows they have no chance of keeping the job and...

Really wish someone would have asked Roy Williams how his players felt after the loss and then followed up by asking what he would tell the players who lost to his teams full of ineligible players.
