| MAIL BAG:
The casual fan will see him as a player with
limited offensive ability. Right now he doesn’t
have a great feel for the offensive game. He is
still learning the game, but he is a very bright
young man and he really has a good sense of things
beyond the game. He is very in tune politically
with what is going on his country of Tanzania...

INSULTING COACHES

David
Adelman looks at how promoting only certain
coaches is an insult to coaches around the
country and how programs end up getting the
wrong guy, rather than just hiring the right
coach like Duquesne did when it hired Ron

Bilas was very critical of the fact
that Seth Greenberg advanced to the Fashionable 4.
He thought it

| The Unlawful
Internet Gambling Enforcement Act (UIGEA) is a law
that ends the use of financial institutions to
transfer money to an Internet gaming site. In
essence, you can’t use your credit card to wager
bets. You also can’t use your bank to wire money
to the sites, thus ending the banks ability to
charge additional fees. President Bush signed the
UIGEA into law in 2006. Almost immediately,
publicly held sites stopped taking US customers.

| Many coaches were
not concerned that they weren't included in the
Bachelor list. More will say that they didn't care
if they got beat on the Runway, but anyone who says
that they don't care about making this list is
lying. Let's be honest guys, you are pretty happy if
you made College Basketball's 50 Sexiest. If
you didn't, some part of you wishes you had... |

It created quite a buzz in
2003. 50 coaches, including 13 female coaches made the
list of College Basketball's 50 Most Eligible.
"That was a a lot of fun," said current Texas-Pan
American head coach Tom Schuberth. It gave everyone in
the coaching profession something to fun with. It was
done in good taste and everyone enjoyed it. Some more
than others...

1-ON-1 WITH
ESPN'S JAY BILAS
by Dave Magarity, Army
 DAVE
MAGARITY: I am going to go out on a limb here and
say that I think you could probably beat any of
the other college basketball analysts in a game of
one-on-one.
JAY BILAS: I'm pretty sure Len Elmore wouldn't
sweat me in the post. Otherwise, I feel confident
I could dominate the rest of those
“guard-oriented” analysts... |

  A
while back I wrote a brief column about then-Arizona
head coach Lute Olson. In light of his recent
departure from the game, I wanted to share some thoughts
again… Over the years Coach Olson has taken the time to
eloquently write about legends of the game like Al
McGuire and Ralph Miller and he expressed the sentiments
of all of us with his collegeinsider.com column in the
aftermath of September 11th. Every feature he has ever
written has been just like the man himself -- first
class! Like many, I have always admired him from afar.
His teams were always fun to watch. They played at a
fast pace, but they played with so much discipline. I
don't think fans can appreciate just how difficult that
is to do. Everyone has heard the expression, "in life
not everyone is going to like you." Well, I don't think
that applies to Coach Olson. He personifies class and
dignity. The guy is about as good as it gets as a human
being. Like every guy in this business I have a
basketball mentor. Coach Calipari is my mentor, but so
is Coach Olson. Lute Olson is everybody's mentor. -

BO RYAN: A lot of guys fall into that category.
One guy that I really admire is Charlie Manual. He
