RIP Coach Spoon, a great Missourian.

I have heard that Jim Whitesell, former Loyola HC, will be an Asst.

That's not entirely accurate. Women's basketball gets 15 scholarships whereas the men get 13. It's somewhat easier for the dominant teams to stay dominant since they get to keep more of the best HS players. Not taking anything away form them, but it's a reason as to why the women's game is so top heavy year in and year out.

11/23 - vs Tennesse St http://www.tsutigers.com/SportSelect.dbml?...amp;SPSID=92735

Hill has an injury. If the game wasn't in St Louis he probably wouldn't have played at all. He sat out the first exhibition, tried to play in the second but could only go for 2-3 minutes.

Perhaps there is more to the Ellis not being cleared saga than a simple pass/fail HS class?

Ft Smith doesn't have a football team. I visited their campus last month for a building project they have going on, very very pretty campus.

As of this morning he isn't listed in the SLU 'People Finder' on the website, all of the other Freshmen on the team are listed.

So, how is this not an NCAA violation? Semo loses a scholarship because a coach drives a player from Cape to Memphis to see his newborn baby, the coach doesn't ask the player to reimburse him mileage or gas money -- and the NCAA says it is a violation. The player traveled on the coach's dime basically. Vanderbilt's coach buys international plane tickets, hotel expenses and meals for his entire team and this is ok? I don't get it.

I'm not positive, but I thought the current offices were in the Richmond neighborhood (ie Port Richmond) of Philly. Richmond is a large Polish/Lithuanian area of Philly.

Not sure that anything Self did per se is the reason for this, but kansas's basketball program has been on probation with a loss of scholarships for the past two years. http://rivals.yahoo.com/ncaa/basketball/ne...t&type=lgns

Excerpts from a rivals story today, from the North Carolina site: Duke and North Carolina are newcomers in a recruitment that is just starting to take off. When asked about the schools he's considering, Beal mentioned Kansas, Florida, Illinois, Purdue, Missouri, Minnesota, Texas, Ohio State, and Wake Forest. there were rumors that Beal was close to verbally committing to Florida in the coming weeks. "I'm not sure what I'm going to do," he said. "Yeah, I keep in touch with everybody really, but they (Florida) are not the only school that I'm close to. I'm hoping to make it (my decision) sometime at the end of the summer." The rest of the article talks about how if UNC offered he might consider them.

Ward has an offer from Semo and is getting some looks from similar schools including Siu-E. Ealy is definitely going to play football, he may try to play both, but he will absolutely play football (if he has the grades and rumors are he does)

Semo's arena is larger than five A-10 schools' -- GW, Duquesne, Fordham, St Bonaventure & LaSalle all play in smaller arenas, Rhode Island's holds about 500 more. I can't think of any good reason why SLU would ever play at Semo though, or any other OVC school.
