Wow!! Clay is finally catching up to what I have been saying for two years.



A lot of focus on expanding the TV footprint into new states. A NC or VA school is more attractive then adding Clemson or FSU since the SEC is already in those states.

You have to wonder at what point does the SEC start kicking teams out. Why does the SEC want Vandy? Should they ditch USC and add Clemson? That kind of stuff is on its way as well.

Does this indicate that basing your team almost completely on Freshman is not a formula for success, no matter how talented?
Yes most definitely, also if It wasn't for the rule high schoolers can't go straight to league a lot of these guys wouldn't have even been at Kentucky.

NBA should change rule back to kids allowed to go pro straight after high school. Most of these one and done could careless about the college game.
 
March 20, 1954..................The inspiration for "Hoosiers"
The following account of the 1954 state championship game appeared in
The Indianapolis Star on Sunday, March 21, 1954.



By Bob Collins
"Bobby Plump drove a jump shot home with three seconds remaining and – just like that – the “Mighty Men” of Milan became high school champions of this state. Muncie Central was vanquished. The score was 32-30.

And the game well, it was one of the greatest this state tourney ever has seen and the Butler Fieldhouse was a madhouse as the final gun sounded last night.

What a night for Milan. Not only did this school, with an enrollment of 162 (73 boys) become the smallest school to win this title since Thorntown licked the field in 1915, it now is the only school ever to win and still get a mental attitude award recipient.

The Trester Medal kid was, of course, Plump—the mightiest Redskin of all. The award gave Robert a grip on just about everything but the fieldhouse doorknobs. He also was the best scorer in the semi-finals and finals with 81 points – the last two of which will not be forgotten in Indiana for years.

Milan called time with 18 seconds remaining and not one of the 15,000 souls in the fieldhouse doubted that Bobby was going to shoot. After Milan threw the ball in, Plump took it in midcourt and started the slow drag dribble, his face an inscrutable mask. With eight seconds remaining he cut to his right and headed for home. It was the tried and proven Plump formula. Three steps down, lean forward, fake pull back, jump and shoot. With a great deliberation, Plump jumped cocked his right arm and watched the ball sail through with just three seconds showing on the clock.

And Cinderella marched proudly off the floor her slippers intact and her coach – a shiny Cadillac – in no danger of turning into a pumpkin shell."

About 10 years ago, when my kid was ~5 I bought the GI Joe cartoon dvd complete box set to keep in the truck and put the Blue's Clues, etc. on a shelf in the garage because knowing is half the battle in this world...
This is some next-level dad-ing. Nice work.
