Coach K to the Nets?
After telling Rick Pitino thanks but no thanks the New Jersey Nets have apparently set their sites higher. The Nets new owner is determined to land a big name to coach the team next year and apparently has his eyes set on Durham, North Carolina.

Random College Basketball Thoughts
Being that I live in the heart of ACC country and the college hoops season is underway I have a few random thoughts rattling around as it pertains to the young season. I have not had a chance to watch too many games but I have seen a few, most of which have been ACC contests involving either Duke or UNC.

Is it Time to Abolish the NBA Age Limit?
As we head towards the NBA draft we are starting to hear the yearly chatter about how the NBA needs to abolish its age limit for entry into the draft. The main argument against the age limit is that guys like Kobe, LeBron, and Kevin Garnett did not need college ball to succeed at the NBA level. If these players have the talent to play in the NBA then we should let them. But, the problem being and a key argument for the age restriction, is that an overwhelming majority of these kids are not ready to play in the NBA straight out of high school.

Pitino Interested in Sacramento Job?
It is being reported that Louisville's head basketball coach has an interest in the Sacramento Kings' coaching gig. The one question I have for both is why?
