Brock is quick and fast and can stay in front of his man. The problems arise if he gets caught in that 10-20 feet where a good taller shooter can just shoot. Fortunately, we also have a good help and rim defender. Brock is going to be a major asset.

Yet sports media generally still treats them like a blue blood. At the end of the season, with another season under their belt, the experts will seem befuddled why all those great recruits did play better. Simple answer: NEBRASKA SUCKS

That Dr. Davis wasn't going to change. How'd that change work out?

In the pre portal, NIL and early draft options Iowa would have had some fantastic teams with it's freshmen classes developing.

Harding will always have a height problem but he's very quick, and usually knew where he was going. We haven't seen his court vision at Iowa since Ronnie Lester. Brock adds a reliable 3 point shot and he's going to be hard to guard, will require defensive adjustments when he's got the ball...

They used to call fouls as fouls were seen, albeit with a liberal allowance for physical play. I saw two triple OT finals games. The first, in 76 I think, Celtics vs. Suns. The teams were mostly down to the deep bench. In the 90s MJ was playing Chuck and the Suns. I think no one of...

Right on. Saw him get into an actual boxing style punches thrown fight with Cliff Ray. No one joined and the officials let the guys punch themselves into a position where the respective teams could kind of tackle their fighters and drag them to the bench. There was some controversy about the...

Indeed. A few guys got tips from Rick Barry, Wilt among them. There was a big center on that 75 Warriors championship that shot underhanded. It didn't help him. Overhand or underhand the guy was literally stuck out in my memory as the worst FT shooter I've ever seen. I think his family name...

The head coaches usually have insulated themselves using agents and other negotiating entities.

No, I just started in November of 2021. When I got out of politics and the kids were gone I picked up an MFA in military history. So, I can pompously say Bulldog, MA(Econ), MFA (military history), Doctor of Jurisprudence and Doctor of Philosophy (Econ). I love to learn new things of interest...

Last Friday was my last day. Sixty days to social security when I turn 65 on July 15. I plan to finish my doctorate in econ, maybe teach history to these growing home school modules (I never wanted to be a lawyer-only thing my parents ever made me do of any importance whatsoever, I wanted to...

Wilt's Achillies' Heel. He never learned to shoot free throws because he simply went to half court ran, jumped with feet just before the line and then dunked 'em. Once that rule was changed, to specifically keep Wilt from dunking free throws, he tried everything. Psychiatrists, special...

Much of the interest is school loyalty. I mean, be true to your school like you would to your girl, right. Unlike the pros most of college sports is meant for the people that aren't ND, tOSU and Alabama fans, but all the people that support their alma maters and/or the locals. A few schools...

If people care enough to bitch, bitch to the WNBA. They are obviously allowing really dirty plays against this shining rookie group.

I think Bill Russell, Nate Thurmond, Bill Walton, Willis Reed, Walt Bellamy, Dave Cowens, a talented big center from KC whose name escapes me, Jack Sikma, Wes Unseld, the great Elvin Hayes and even Jerry Lucas might all disagree with you. They were all big, the NBA was much rougher and more...

Talk about biting the hand that feeds you. This WNBA class, very much lead by CC, has the early aura of the 1960 draft. That draft brought a big world of new and exciting players. Very important in making the NBA a more national sport. The childish attacks by veterans wreak of jealousy...

Ryan might well be one of those guys that kind of will victory. Doesn't happen often but it does happen. Good bloodlines and a good mentor for a smart ball player that can overcome athleticism with brainy play and an accurate arm.

I couldn't agree more. Of course there will be cheating on a massive scale. These kids may be huge and talented, but they are still immature and juvenile high school kids. Many from poor backgrounds will be influenced by parents or family members that plan to benefit from the money. The...

More or less the same things. In either part of Wilt's career. Once Wilt won the title with the 76ers he transitioned into a mostly defensive player, kind of like a goalkeeper. Once he joined the Lakers with Jerry West, Gail Goodrich, Happy Hariston (sp) and Elgin Baylor. Goodrich, one of...

Dave Cowens, Wilt's second Celtic enemy. In like 73ish the Celtics had a huge regular season and were number 1 Eastern seed. Eastern finals were NY with Willis Reed and the Celtics. The Lakers ran through the Western Conference playoffs. Wilt said he didn't want to chase Cowens around the court.
