Returning to coach one's alma mater is a romantic notion that actually doesn't occur very often in basketball and football, but in college hockey, it happens all the time. Nearly half of the current Division I coaches (43%) attended the school they now coach, including Michigan's Red Berenson and North Dakota's Dave Hakstol, whose teams face each other Thursday in the Frozen Four national semifinals.
By comparison, the figure is 14% in major-college football and just 9% in Division I basketball. Those sports are heavily populated by coaches who worked their way up from the countless lower-division programs. Forty-five of

It's a common practice while watching a college football bowl game or an NCAA basketball tournament game to wonder how good some of the players are, how high they will go in the upcoming draft. Just who's a first-round pick?
When the NCAA hockey tournament's West Regional begins Friday at Scottrade Center, you won't need to wonder how many first-round picks are out there. The answer is three: Jaden Schwartz of Colorado College plus Kevin Hayes and Chris Kreider of Boston College. How many players are second-round picks? Eight.
We know that because in college hockey, you're eligible to be

Is Cowboys DB McCann subject to NFL conduct policy during lockout?

Posted by congcong on 21/03/2011 at 22:30

 

The arrest of Bryan McCann on a charge of public intoxication this weekend raised an interesting question: Can the Dallas Cowboys cornerback be punished if he was found to have violated the terms of the NFL's personal conduct policy while a lockout is in effect?
The league tackled that question last week and the answer is yes. However, any disciplinary action won't take place until normal business operations resume.
"While players won't be able to get the benefit of our evaluation and counseling program during the work stoppage, the personal conduct of players and employees is an integrity-of-the-game issue," NFL

Springfield Armor shift from cruise control to 106-105 loss to Fort Wayne Mad Ants

Posted by congcong on 18/03/2011 at 3:48

 

With five minutes to go in their NBA D-League game Thursday night, the Springfield Armor were cruising. Or so it appeared. 
Two 3-pointers by Lance Hurdle and a basket by New Jersey Net prospect Ben Uzoh had sparked the Armor to an eight-point run and given them a 94-87 lead. The crowd of 2,377 at Allen County Memorial Coliseum was silenced. Mad Ants coach Joey Meyer was mad enough, shaking his head and calling for a timeout. 
Then, as it has happened so many times this season for the Armor, their lead evaporated, this time into a 106-105 loss on

Spartans' Summers warms up at right time

Posted by congcong on 10/03/2011 at 23:59

 

INDIANAPOLIS -- Tom Izzo sent in a sub for Durrell Summers with 15 minutes and 21 seconds left in the game Thursday. When Summers reached the Michigan State sideline, he looked longingly for a chair at the end of the bench. 
No vacancy. He was going to have to take the only open seat -- right next to his exasperated head coach. 
The two had done this dance too many times throughout this miserable season. Summers would play poorly. Izzo would bench him. He’d admonish, instruct, cajole, yell, plead … anything to get through to his talented senior guard.
