Pat Summitt Should Be The Next Coach Of The Knicks

We congratulate the Tennessee Volunteers — we never like calling women's college teams the "Lady" somethings — for their national championship last night. For some reason, it's a little more touching when the elderly mother of the winning coach comes down on the court when the coach is a woman. We're not sure why. More »

You may not care about women's basketball, but don't say that around Michigan coach Kevin Borseth. He's, um, into the game.

Hey, At Least SOMEONE Was Calling In

We remember the old days, back when we were dorfing around at the Daily Illini, of media conference calls with Big Ten coaches.

As The Old Joke Goes, She's Out With A Womb

Considering we don't, you know, pay all the collegiate athletes who bring in so much money for their universities, an athletic scholarship is the holy grail, the precious, the one benefit to spending so much time training and sweating. So one can't lose it, lest the whole matter go to waste. More »

You Have No Idea How Hard It Is Not To Make A "Pokey" Joke

This, friends, is Pokey Chatman, who, until about 16 hours ago, was one of the most successful young coaches in women's college basketball, leading her LSU Tigers into the NCAA tournament and earning the respect of her peers. Now, though, she's decidedly less than that: Now she's a disgraced former coach who might have been sleeping with more than one of her players. More »
