Perhaps Jeff's heart problems in the past still weigh heavily on his mind. I know if I had been through that operation, I am not sure that I would go 100% all the time. Just saying.

RE: Greg Whittington - I didn't know Greg had two ACL injuries around the time of his GU years... anyway, glad he's smiling.

Pat, I know you really want to be a head coach, but that ownership situation is insane. Something to think on. Patrick has also voiced interest in returning to the Knicks. I don't believe that there is presently a more dysfunctional ownership/management relationship than that at Madison Square Garden. I don't think the Kings' issues would stop him from going there. I don't think you have a choice but to take what's offered in the NBA. He's been looking for an opportunity for a long time so can't afford to be real picky about what that is. I think NBA jobs are a difficult situation as so much is really dependent on the talent you get which you don't control. But I'd like him to get a job just to get over that hump. With college jobs at least the HC controls recruiting and coaching and has 100% control over the success.

Great story. Considering what a wonderful, caring person Deke turned out to be, Pops certainly can be proud of his part in that maturation.

That couldn't have been cheap.

That couldn't have been cheap. I'm sure he got the fully refundable ticket. Awesome story.

Interesting that DSR wasn't invited to the NBA draft combine...

If I recall, JT was actually scouting his teammate, who may have been a guard named John Robinson. Robinson was more highly regarded than Sleepy and ended up with Lefty at Maryland. Hoyas got stuck with the second choice!

Interesting that DSR wasn't invited to the NBA draft combine... You were expecting him to be? Considering some of the odd names on the list? Sure.
