Just realized it’s after midnight.
Yeah, we all know it’s coming.
“You’ll know tomorrow,” Blair said. “That’s all I’m saying.”
Pitt coach Jamie Dixon met with Blair and his family Monday, but said today that Blair wasn’t ready to make an announcement. One source close to the Blair family, however, told the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review that Blair plans to announce his intentions at a Wednesday news conference.
The good news is that he won’t be hiring an agent.
Andy Katz at ESPN.com continues to pound the doubting angle.
A number of NBA personnel told ESPN.com they are skeptical about whether Blair can make the transition because he plays below the rim.
As much as I want him to stay, I have a hard time buying it. At the same time, it only reinforces why he has to look at going pro now. If the doubts and concerns are there and actually widespread, then coming back for another year gives them a chance to further pick him apart.
As far as Coach Jamie Dixon winning the Naismith Coach of they Year award, he deferred on taking much credit.
“It means we had a lot of good players,” Dixon said in a phone interview about the coaching award. “It’s a reflection of players individually and as a group … The players developed into better players than may thought (they) would become.”
According to ZagsBlog, Basketball Times put out its list of the top-100 coaches and assistants. Coach Dixon was ranked #12, and Tom Herrion was ranked #8 in assistants. There’s nothing on the BT website to see the whole list. It’s just a list, and seems more of a debate sparker than anything actually definitive.
Boeheim three Final Fours (all three times went to title game) including an NCAA title. 1 other Elite Eight. Every one of his 799 wins at Syracuse. 799-288, of a .7351 win pctg. 14 Sweet Sixteen appearances (including years he advanced beyond that).
Sorry, but it isn’t remotely close.
Huggins has 23 20 win seasons in 27 years.
Both of those are impressive. But Boeheim’s is the more impressive of the two.
11. Boeheim
12. Dixon
22. J Wright
I see the bottom two surpassing the top 2 in the near future
