Fnally, Someone In The Media Speaks The Truth About John Wooden.

[hatvol96]

I'm a fan of Gregg Doyel's. He's a quality writer. I do disagree with him on certain sports figures, most notably Larry Brown and Tim Floyd, but at least he has the stones to say what he thinks. This column on John Wooden is the best thing I've seen written in sports in the last five years. www.cbssports.com/columns/story/11757857.

not saying anything any real college basketball fan out there doesn't know... but still nice to see a journalist go on record about Gilbert.

That's my point. I guess Rick Reilly will have to write another weepy column making Wooden out to be a combination of Christ, Ghandi, and Thoreau.

wow

"the more you know"

Someone needs to forward this to Tarkanian...

Interesting story

Good read. Wonder how many other "top" programs come under the NCAA's gun. Or whom the NCAA decides to give a look the other way.

 

[ukvols]

Good to see someone telling it like it is.

That definitely took some testicular fortitude.

You actually read Rick Reilly's columns? Who else do you read: Scoop Jackson?

Testicular fortitude indeed. I like it. And I am normally not a huge fan of Mr. Doyel's.

It definitely takes a set to write a column like that.

There are many interesting points brought up by this column that I had no clue about. Great post on this one hat!

It's so sad, that for a journalist, that is so true. I still think he rambles his way through his columns seemingly everytime, but I couldn't agree more with the thesis in this one.

Hat, do you see Carrol like Wooden? It just seems that you like Carrol much more.

LOL...Scoop Jackson. By far one of the worst sports journalists' I've ever read.
