Miami Hires B-Ball Coach

I find it funny that the national media has hardly said anything one way or the other about the basketball situation at  THE U.  While N C State was looking they were doing everything they could to discredit the search.  Miami has quietly been going about the business of hiring a coach and they have hired Jim Larranaga the former head coach at George Mason.

Despite what the media sells when they do their spin the N C State job is a top 30 job  and 40 years ago was a top 15 job.  Frank Haith leaving Miami which at best might be considered top 60 can't even get the media to yawn.

Miami has trouble getting five thousand to a conference game so their ability to pay a coach a multi year million dollar deal is out the door.  They get a sixty year old coach who knows how to win since he has proven he can coach a team to the final four.  I would not look for this to be a twenty year rein at Miami unless he can pull off a Joe Paterno.

Tonight will tell a lot about the Knicks and Celtic series. Boston has been lucky to win either game this week at home.  The only reason they did is the Knicks are not a team oriented and are easy to defense when it counts because you know who is going to get the ball, the ball hogs.

The Celtics sure do look old all of a sudden and Miami Heat just might be ready to pick the Celtics a part in round two.  Chicago has surprised me and you had better look out for Oklahoma City and Chicago in the finals. The TV Networks will die if that happens but the two best players in the NBA might be in the finals.  Kevin Durant and Derrick Rose.

We live in a dangerous world where it it getting to the point you can not go to a professional game with out risking your life against unruly fans.  They say that sports is just a snapshot of society, but if this is what we have become as a society we should be ashamed. 

Our country is on the verge of being  bankrupt.  In order to become solvent again we must cut government services.  When we start doing that then robbery and theft will sky rocket.  While all of this government cutting is going on we need to shake up the judicial system and start punishing criminals. As far as I am concern a good cut would be to cut off the air conditioning in prisons, TVs and stop paying those blue tractors you see on the highway cutting the grass.  Let's put the inmates back out there working wishing they were home with their family instead of getting three squares a day at our expense.
