I’ve always liked orange more than green.

Five Fingers Form a Fist
Last night, Coach K broke Bob Knight’s Division I men’s basketball win record by notching number 903. I’m a Duke fan, so I might be a bit biased, but I believe Coach K is the greatest coach in the history of college basketball. I often remember the following quote from his book Five-Point Play: Duke’s Journey to the 2001 National Championship.
There are five fundamental points that can help make a team great: communication, trust, collective responsibility, caring, and pride. I like to think of each as a separate finger on THE FIST. Any one individually is important. But all of them together are formidable.
If you strike someone with an open hand, it may sting. Combine all five fingers to make a fist and you can do some damage.
The Prebow
Hansbrough was the basketball equivalent to Tim Tebow, but he arrived a year earlier. He prepared us for Tebow. He was the pre-Tebow. He was the Prebow.
Quoted from The 50 Greatest College Basketball Players of All Time.
Really good article. I enjoyed the comparison of two of my least favorite college athletes in history.
GO BLUE!
The state of Michigan is split today as Michigan and Michigan State square off in college football. My neighbor shows her support for Michigan with a flag, a globe, and some flowers.

Wearing my Michigan football polo shirt today. They played a great game yesterday. The score doesn’t reflect how much they dominated the game because of a few turnovers at the goal line.
Michigan Basketball Will Rise
With John Beilein coming to coach the University of Michigan, maybe we can get excited about something other than football again. He did a great job at West Virginia.
