One more and counting
The Bobcats fired Mike Dunlap after but one season in Charlotte. In fairness to Dunlap I’m really unsure what he could have done in only one season, this team is on life-support. Despite ownership change (Bob Johnson to Michael Jordan) the Bobcats have continued to flounder. In spite of changing coaches we can expect two continuum's annually, the cost of living will rise and a Bobcats representative will be seated at the NBA draft lottery.

“Once is not enough”
The above headline was the title of a 1973 novel written by Jacqueline Susan, it was later turned into a movie in 1975. I never read the book nor saw the movie but “Once is not enough” came to mind when I read the ESPN headline. Mike Brown was returning to Cleveland and to coach the Cavs. You might ask; “isn’t he the same guy owner Dan Gilbert fired?” My response would be in the affirmative, after being dumped by the Cavs Brown shows up in Los Angeles and coaches the Lakers almost two years. Of course we know what happened with the Lakers he was fired there as well. Why would Brown want to return to the grind of the NBA? He could have set back on his rear and collected a fat paycheck (Lakers) but for reasons only he knows he returns to the NBA.

You make the call on this one 
He’s 14-years old and has a profile on NBADraft.net. His name, Seventh (his actual name) Woods and he hails from Columbia South Carolina. He’s a 6-1 170 pound point guard about to complete his freshman year of high school. Check him in action on YouTube and draw your own conclusions.

We can only speculate for now
Andrew Wiggins the number one prospect in the Class of 2013 has cancelled visits. Wiggins has four schools remaining on his list Florida State, Kansas, North Carolina and Kentucky. He’s cancelled visits at his parents school Florida State; he also cancelled visits to Kansas and North Carolina. The only school left on his list is Kentucky, without researching I‘ve lost track of the number of Class of 2013 prospects headed to Lexington. Surely Wiggins can’t be headed to headed to Kentucky can he?

You don’t suppose
At some point the NCAA will resolve the Miami investigation. I’m tired of writing about this story and you are tired of reading me moan about it. Naturally as a Mizzou fan I‘m concerned about Coach Frank Haith’s name continuing to be mentioned in connection with the problems of Miami University. Allow me to clear this up first; I didn’t fall off the turnip truck yesterday. Its possible maybe likely Haith could have been aware of the impropriety. I claim no legal expertise; there is a statue of limitations on most crimes with the exception of murder. How is the NCAA allowed (even with its mistakes) to continue a case for this never ending length of time? This story first broke in August of 2011 and we are but four months short of two years. Haith has completed his second year as head coach and is headed into year three yet the cloud of suspension continues to hang over him. If there is evidence beyond the word of convicted felon Nevin Shapiro I would hope the NCAA would provide it.

Other than accusations against Haith (provided by Shapiro) the only proof offered so far are two photos, one taken at a dinner outing and the other in a bowling alley. The bowling alley photo Haith and other Miami staffers were in attendance to receive a check from Shapiro who at the time was a Miami booster. Anyone else caught in a questionable photo? How about former President Jimmy Carter’s wife Rosalyn, she was photographed with Peoples Temple leader Jim Jones. The photo was taken years prior to Jones criminal action. Is it safe to assume Ms Carter might have been embarrassed after the photos were circulated? Being photograph with someone should not be a basis for concluding all parties are guilty. Just yesterday I was photographed at a table with strangers at a fund raiser, what if later its reveled one of the persons at the table is wanted for murder or bank robbery? I’m don’t doubt Haith knew Shapiro but the question is did he know of Shapiro’s actions?
