directors and coaches

As the time approaches - just about 45 minutes from now - when IU and  U of K
take the floor - it came to me there is a strong connection between Movie
Directors and Basketball Coaches.

The actors in movies are often given so much credit for a movie.

And the basketball players are held up for their part in the game.


But if Movies and Basketball Games didn't have the Great Directors
and Great Coaches - where would the fans be then?

Now I realize that Great Movies and Great Teams need the Messengers.


But as game time grows near - these are the Names that come to mind for me:


Bob Knight

Mike Shashevsky : )

Rick Patino

Tubby Smith

Tom Izzo

and the guy from Connecticut whose name I can't recall but I remember
his face very well



and of course there are Others
