I actually generally like Mulkey, but I'm not "awarding" her 2nd best coach. She is certainly among the best and the 2nd most successful. She has every right to schedule to prepare her team and what works for her works for her. It probably doesn't work for most other teams and it definitely...

Thank you. I saw the mention of on-line availability. I actually get the actual magazine, the only "paper" subscription I have. I do get a number of magazines due to donations - National Trust, US Lighthouse Society, Colonial Williamsburg (I stopped donating to Williamsburg, but they keep...

I recycled the mag before I thought of posting. The gist was that people appreciate the scoring and not the hard work that goes into it. I tried to find it on line, but I'm not that adept at it. Sorry.

I follow family tradition by reading "Readers Digest" and Paige Bueckers was quoted in the quotable quotes section with a reference to the hard work that folks don't tend to see. Reading the WNBA Q&A in today's Athletic, Maya Moore got a mention as the writer's favorite all time WNBA player...

One has to also place all this against the back-drop of supposed changes as a result of the House settlement which actually already calls for NIL payments to meet fair market value standards. The direct funding from the colleges is in the form of (so called) revenue sharing, but it is capped...

While the job is not comparable on an "8-10 hour day" basis, I really think you are understating the amount of work it takes to be a high quality professional athlete. Training and publicity work are added to actual practice and travel time, etc. it is much more of a commitment than it seems...

Can't match all the production - but if you want to call education of a sort being productive - my wife and I are watching the documentaries of Ken Burns, more or less in order. Started with Brooklyn Bridge, and recently made it to "The War" (WWII). Every one was absolutely fascinating, many...

Yes. Vivian Stringer comes to mind as another coach well respected for her development of players with understanding, remembering plays, etc. And of course both sides of the ball, for that matter. While she didn't have offensive power-houses, you only need to look at the long careers of...

Nope - years ago when I was a bit younger, a few folks thought I should audition. I was always smart enough to say "no" - because I might do really well in some categories but alas, in others I am completely ignorant. A very well rounded deep knowledge is needed. "General" knowledge and a few...

I said it before, I'll say it again - what Pat Summitt said about defense is it wins games. She said rebounds win championships - but again, she's talking about the championship game and I'm not sure it is necessarily true, although winning teams in games most often do out-rebound the losing...

The anecdote is actually that offense sells tickets, defense wins games and rebounding wins championships. This is very true for some teams - especially those that rely for a portion of their offense on putbacks. Historically, UConn teams are almost always near the top of both offensive and...

I referenced this article in a post. Very informative. I "think" but am not sure that there was previous coverage of the ideas in a thread closer to the March time-frame when it was published.

Mostly with you on the ones I could answer easily. I did remember "The Eagle has Landed" - I hope correctly. Oddly enough, the 1st space shuttle name was a recent Jeopardy question - I agree it wasn't Enterprise, which was my guess when we were watching Jeopardy. Don't remember the answer...

Thank you, Big - back when I was in high school, the Advance Placement advisor took a small group of us to hear him speak at Newark - I think Rutgers Newark but am not sure. He was on a vitamin C kick. But due to that, I actually knew he did that.

That article that was posted at some point in the last year agrees that women's refs are perhaps underpaid, but it varies a lot by who the ref is. The numbers suggested were not all that bad for the higher level refs (in the abstract) although not anywhere near as good as men's refs, and...
