Ah, the NBA. Only in that league does Billy Knight get to be a GM, Donald Sterling gets to keep owning a team, Vinny Del Negro gets multiple jobs as a head coach, and a pissy Deron Williams gets to run off a legend like Jerry Sloan before being traded ...

I need a second...(thinking happy thoughts, thinking happy thoughts...). OK, I'm good.

Secretary of Education Arne Duncan opined on NCAA basketball teams' graduation rates and the achievement gap between black and white players last week, and I must confess myself (and this isn't the first time with Secretary Duncan) disappointed.
At least he has the balls to take on a major issue, though ...

As you loyal Rumors and Rants readers are all too familiar with by now, we’re a bunch of Indiana University graduates. Which means a few things:
1. We apparently weren’t smart enough to get into our No. 1 college choice (Northwestern in my case).

Gonna keep this one short and sweet because I'm doing a celebratory dance as I type this. Kelvin Sampson's appeal of the NCAA's restrictions on him has been denied. DENIED, I tell you.
You suck, assholeface. Go fuck yourself for screwing IU's basketball program up, for making the fans believe for ...

Tim Floyd sure knows how to make an exit. Very quietly, and out the backdoor to boot.
By now you know the story. Floyd resigned his position as head basketball coach at USC on Tuesday, stepping down amid an investigation by the NCAA into whether (or how much) money changed hands ...

A couple of weeks ago we told you that Kelvin Sampson cursed the Milwaukee Bucks with his mere presence. Maybe you were a skeptic and didn't believe us. You think curses are kid stuff for silly people.
But Bango believes.
Who is Bango?

Today could be a nightmare.
Usually there are few things better for the writers of this blog than a little Indiana-Purdue rivalry, especially this time of year. That's because basketball season is the time where Hoosiers get revenge for a normally embarrassing football loss.
Not so this year.

When Scott Skiles decided to hire Kelvin Sampson to be his assistant coach in Milwaukee prior to this season, he probably didn't think it was much of a risk. Sure, Ole Assholeface may have been cast out of the collegiate game for his transgressions at Oklahoma and Indiana, but he ...
