Miss Weller, Coaching, And All That Jaz
An article on knoxnews.com brought back a lot of memories. With former University of Maryland Head Women’s Basketball Coach Chris Weller’s well-deserved induction into the Women’s Basketball Hall of Fame this Saturday, the article reflects on how past players, particularly Jasmina Perazic, find that they sound like their college coach.

What’s So Special About UConn? Nothing, Really.
The University of Connecticut Women’s Basketball team’s record now stands at 74-0 double-digit wins and counting. The amazing thing is that this sort of dominance isn’t unusual for the Huskies.

Nameless Jerseys Revisited
A little over three years ago I bemoaned the fact that Tennessee had elected to not have their player’s names on their jerseys.

We Commend Thee, Kay Yow (1942-2009)
NC State leader, Maryland nemesis, basketball icon, a cancer inspiration. There are so many ways to describe Kay Yow, who died early on January 24, 2009. Much will be written about her accomplishments, which I’ll not repeat. I do, however, have a few comments.
