Cyrez used to be the board's Mod back on the other site. When there were like 5 people posting. He held it together.

BWCD, thanks for that. Muggsy, was from Baltimore and a teammate at Dunbar HS of David Wingate, Reggie Lewis and Reggie Williams. Not a half-bad HS team! They went 60-0 in his junior and senior years back in the early 80s.

OGH, I watched Chris Lykes (sometimes in person) during his HS career at Gonzaga HS in the District. And, I've often held up DC-Baltimore HS hoops as being played at a level far greater than South Florida HS ball is. So, if you'd think I'm a Lykes superfan with a biased rooting interest, you'd...

That's part of my problem with Lykes as a ballhandler. He does play like Bob Cousy with the behind the back stuff, trying to take the ball inside so it can easily be rejected, etc. But, I did take your point that the position has evolved to where the old expectations of not turning the ball...

Not surprising without a true PG.

You can definitely win without top HS recruits. Gonzaga, Butler and Wichita State are just the three latest examples of coaches winning the opposite way that the one and done schools do, i.e., with 3 and 4 year players.

Fred Hoiberg was fired today by the Bulls. If the timing was right, that's the kind of coach I'd like to get. Has NBA cred and, more importantly, his teams at Iowa State (that he played on and coached) played baseline to baseline. Fast break basketball like UNC, which recruits prefer a lot more...

If I were the AD and interviewing HC candidates after Coach L steps down, my "knock out" question would be "What kind of offense do you favor?" Since we;'ve never had Schools have already tried that and he's not interested. Loving the inland Pacific Northwest, got a feeling Miami would be last...

So was the hoops program at UF, Arizona, Butler, UConn, Gonzaga and 20 other schools ... until they weren't.

Story I recall reading somewhere (thinking it miight have been The Herald) was FBI showed up at his home, causing him to leave the plane (or maybe it was the airport) to return to his house. I'm sure that was voluntary on his part but wouldn't you do the same if the FBI showed up at your place?

FBI should be ashamed of themselves for pulling him off a plane (on which he was about to depart on a recruiting trip) when this nationwide scandal broke. Anyone wanna bet he got so much as a simple apology at any time since?
