  • A Good Article
    Coaching Articles : Eric Musselman File For Coaches Jackson makes Hall of Fame on principle By Roscoe Nance, USA TODAY Los Angeles Lakers coach Phil Jackson heads the 2007 Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame class, which will be inducted Saturday in Springfield, Mass. The group includes University of North Carolina men's coach Roy Williams, Louisiana State University women's coach Van Chancellor, the 1966 Texas Western University men's team, referee Marvin "Mendy" Rudolph and international coaches Pedro Ferrandiz of Spain and Mirko Novosel of Yugoslavia. Jackson, 61, has won nine NBA championships as a coach — six with the Chicago Bulls and three with the Lakers — tying Hall of Famer Red Auerbach's record. He has coached some of the NBA's greatest players, including Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen with the Bulls and Kobe Bryant and Shaquille O'Neal with the Lakers. Jackson gets players to buy into his coaching philosophy, which is influenced by Native American and Eastern beliefs. "The great thing about Phil is the way he has handled players," Hall of Famer Magic Johnson said. "He has a different style, too, that old Zen thing. I love him because he never gets too high and never gets too low and always wants to help the guys grow as men. He teaches them basketball and also teaches them outside the sport." One of his more renowned strategies is handing out books for players to read during road trips. "He's trying to get players to see that there's more to life than the NBA and your performance today," said NBA TV analyst Steve "Snapper" Jones.

  • Join the Team Fighting Cancer One Home Run at a Time! the Quest to Cure Cancer
    JUNE 11-21, 2009 VOLUME NO. 14 “ F RO M COA S T TO COA S T ” 14TH SEASON 1996-2009 Join the team FIGHTING CANCER one home run at a time! THE QUEST TO CURE CANCER Hall of Fame pitcher Nolan Ryan famously said, “A beautiful thing about baseball is that every once in a while, you come into a situation where you want to, and where you have to, reach down and prove something.” That’s the situation cancer researchers face every day—they want to prove that cancer can be beaten. Thanks in part to your support, they’re making great progress in doing just that. Since 1993, the Prostate Cancer Foundation has accelerated development of more effective treatments, expanded our understanding of how cells become cancerous, produced new insights into areas like nutrition, and raised awareness of preventive activities. Most importantly, fewer men are PCF dying—as much as 50% below projections made in the 1990s. Mike Milken - Founder & Chairman By raising nearly $400 million directly, and guiding another $10 billion in funding from others—industry, government, philanthropists, people like you—the PCF has “Kept Dad in the Game.” More than 80 percent of prostate-cancer research leaders have been supported by the PCF, and a majority of drugs currently in the pipeline have our imprint on them. But as more men live longer, more will be diagnosed—this year alone, 192,000 more. So we must continue to support these remarkable researchers. This is the PCF Home Run Challenge’s 14th season—a partnership with Major League Baseball (MLB), its players, managers Jonathan Simons - President and CEOPCF and teams, as well as prominent sponsors, who raise awareness about prostate cancer worldwide and generate millions of dollars for crucial research.
