Hope Amaker stays. Shared the Ivy title, returns everyone, good incoming class. I was never a fan of Amaker -- Dukie, walked out on his top recruiting class at SHU, failed big time at Michigan. BUt he's done much better than I expected at Harvard.... and there's no place harder to turn around in Hoops than Harvard. I do hope he stays there a little longer and does well. If so, he'll have better jobs than Miami. And you guys will have more fun cheering on the Crimson!

sports.espn.go.com/ncb/news/story?id=6404067Princeton introduces Mitch HendersonExcerpts PRINCETON, N.J. -- Princeton introduced Mitch Henderson as its coach Thursday, handing the reins of its basketball program to a former Tigers point guard who played in three NCAA tournaments under Pete Carril and Bill Carmody.
The 1998 Princeton graduate replaces former teammate Sydney Johnson, who left for Fairfield. Henderson inherits a team that was co-Ivy League champion and nearly stunned Kentucky in the first round of this year's tournament.
Henderson believes he is prepared for his first head coaching job after spending the past 11 years as Carmody's assistant at Northwestern, noting this is a different situation than he entered with the Wildcats.
"When you inherit a program that's down you fight the culture of losing and that is just so difficult," Henderson said before a packed house in the football pressbox. "With inheriting a group [at Princeton] that really knows what they're doing, you must highlight the strengths of that team. That will be done. We're going to play the way that gives us the best chance to be successful."
Henderson, the fourth straight alumnus to be named coach, plans on doing that by combining Carril's highly regarded system with his own ideas.
Since Carril left in 1996, Carmody and former players John Thompson III, Joe Scott and Johnson have tweaked, but never completely abandoned, the offense that is predicated on sharp passing, backdoor cuts and 3-point shooting.

Perry had a really nice run at Tulane, thanx in no small part to his lead assistant, Todd Bozeman, currently at Morgan State but probably known more for his issues at Cal. Hope Perry does well.

I remember talking with Clark in Nashville at an AAU tournament. He said that he was from D.C. and he would love to coach at Georgetown. He was recruiting a young man name Randy Livingston who eventually played at LSU.

Randy Livingston was a tremendously great player in high school. He was one of the best, most dominant high school players I ever saw. Went to the same school as Payton and Eli Manning. His dad played for my dad in high school on one of my dad's state championship teams. Tragically, Livingston had a horrific knee accident before his freshman season at LSU, and was never the same. He was so good, though, that he still made the pros despite playing only a few games in college and only being a shell of himself.

George Washington should take a long look at Alabama (Football school) coach Anthony Grant. He is a young energetic coach that would work hard to make the program competitive.

Anthony Grant leaving Alabama to go to GW? I don't think there is enough space on the interwebs to explain the reasons why that wouldn't happen.
