I would be perfectly fine with this being the result as well because I agree with you. The ref should be able to tell if they are going for the steal versus just smacking someone. If they think its an attempt at the steal, than its a normal foul. If its just a smack, its intentional and should be treated with a technical. I believe two technical's and you are out of the game, so that would also discourage coaches from having players get technical fouls even if they only have 1 personal foul in the game so far.

I like this idea much better than my three free throws. It makes more sense and would be much more cleanly done. Ball should automatically advance to the front court in this kind of situation.

I got to go to see Manchester United play Arsenal the 2005 FA Cup final at Millennium Stadium. That place was insane, and the game went the full 90 minutes without a score and then the entire 30 minutes of Extra time as well. It was the first time in like 100 years that an FA final had been a scoreless draw decided by penalty kicks. Arsenal pulled it out but Man U should have scored at least a half dozen goals in that game. Wayne Rooney had at least three chances that were essentially one on ones with the keeper and couldn't finish it.

I was denied financial aid because my parents "made too much money"... Fortunately, my dad was able to find loans through the AARP at an awesome interest rate (Around 2% fixed)

I hadn't because his name hadn't come up but I will give him a look and let you know what I think.

I can't see your graphic and probably won't be able to load the other thread. Have you considered U of Albany's coach? Hearing a lot about that team living hear in the area; they have had some success last few years. Team plays with passion.

I listened to what Feinstein said and it sounded really third party or more to me. If he was directly talking to these guys I might put more stock in it, but he didn't even know Whit's name, and he intimated that Whit is using Mick Cronin as a pseudo basketball consultant, and that Mick and Buzz Williams are friends. It really sounded as if he was talking to a few other reporters/sports analysts that are passing along the information.

I worry that a coach getting paid $2.8 million a year being unhappy with the administration could be another Greenberg situation in the making, not necessarily the way it was handled but just the back and forth between coach and other employees.

Buzz Williams has been very successful as a coach though, making the NCAA every year until this season in a loaded Big East environment. The weird thing is that this season with a lot less competition in the new Big East, his team had a mediocre 17-11 (9-6) record.

I wouldn't be opposed to the hire but Whit would have to realize that he is dealing with a Giant Ego and all that goes with it. And his sideline antics are notorious. Just do an image search for Buzz Williams and see how few are him in a professional looking head shot versus him jumping up and down on the sideline. He is a sports photographers dream.
