SON OF A BI#&H you got me again. I tolerate women's college softball because we're currently pretty good at it (I mean, I hope we still are). But, I grew up watching men's fastpitch, and I loved it. My dad was a really good player, or so I was told by guys that played with/against him, playing...

Red Aeurbach would like a word. 9 NBA Championships as a coach, including 8 consecutive. 7 more NBA Championships as an executive. Gasso is a great coach, probably the best ever in women's softball. That said, softball is dominated by pitching, and she's had a lot of that. If she wins it again...

I've told this story before, but years ago (30?) I went with my dad to the ASA Men's Fastpitch Nationals (softball) in Decatur, IL. One of the teams brought in a guy from New Zealand, considered the top pitcher in the world. THEY tried to get by the first round with their regular starter, and...

Maybe Ward working with the team will also improve Shippy's understanding of hitting and how to apply it to various types of hitters. If she can absorb enough from Ward it would be great to have developed a first-rate coach from within the program. I'd love to see our home-grown talent reach the...

Exactly.

I'm reading all this Belichik/Jordan golf ball Wonder lick stuff, then notice it's on page 69. Try unseeing THAT.

This is exactly what we need for amateur basketball - more 8-year veterans of professional ball!

Interesting - wonder if these professional organizations with players under contract will ask US colleges for compensation if we want to borrow players for a few (hopefully) years.

So, like a deep dive in a shallow pool, it's a good way to hurt your head.
