  • Geno Vs.Pat.Rtf
    Geno vs. Pat: The Matchup ATLANTA (AP) – Tennessee's Pat Summitt is the stern disciplinarian with an icy glare, yet her players consider her a surrogate mother. Connecticut's Geno Auriemma is the ultimate agitator, a wisecracking needler who enjoys zinging friend and foe alike. Who else would call Summitt's program the "Evil Empire?" Different personalities to be sure, but two intensely competitive coaches with the same goal. Their teams meet Tuesday night to decide the national championship in women's basketball, the latest installment of the sport's hottest rivalry. Tennessee (33-4) has six titles but none since 1998. Connecticut (36-1) has won two of the last three championships and three overall. "Strictly from good theater, you couldn't ask for a better matchup," Auriemma said. That theater extends to the coaching rivalry. Both insist they don't dislike each other. They even chatted for 15 minutes or so Monday when they crossed paths in the Georgia Dome. But friends? Hardly. Summitt invited Villanova coach Harry Perretta and his team – the only one to beat UConn this season – to her house for a cookout before the Mideast Regional in Knoxville. The East Tennessee mountains would turn into flatland before Auriemma secured such an invite. "We're not talking on the phone every week," Summitt said. "As a matter of fact, we don't talk on the phone. But I would just say that you have a great rivalry and certainly a coach that I respect tremendously." Auriemma caused a stir when he needled Perretta, one of his good friends, over his relationship with Summitt, saying the Villanova coach had "dumped me for the Evil Empire." Hey, Auriemma pleaded, lighten up.

Douglas was the 2000 and 2001 Big Ten Player of the Year, and was named the 2001 Big Ten Female Athlete of the Year. A two-time All-Big Ten pick, Douglas is one of six Purdue players under Curry to earn fi rst team all-conference honors. Shereka Wright, now an assistant on Curry’s staff at Tech, was the 2000 USA Today and Gatorade High School Player of the Year out of Copperas Cove, Texas, and fi nished her four-year career under Curry as Purdue’s second all-time leading scorer. Following her senior season, in which she led the Big Ten in scoring in conference games, Wright earned fi rst team honors on the inaugural Wooden Women’s All-America Team. Lubbock native Erika Valek, a four-year starting point guard for the Boilermakers, capped her career by winning the Frances Pomeroy Naismith Award as the nation’s top player under 5-foot-8. The on-court success of her teams has carried over into the classroom as well. Twenty-four times her student-athletes received Academic All-Big Ten distinction since 2000. Every Boilermaker who fi nished her playing career at Purdue during Curry’s tenure graduated. Curry began her coaching profession in her home state of Louisiana as she started at the prep level at Weston (1988-90) and Mansfi eld (1990-91) high schools.

    The Effect of Early Entry to the NBA An Examination of the 19-Year-Old Age Minimum and the Choice between On-The- Job Training and Schooling for NBA Prospects Nick Sugai Senior Honors Thesis Amherst College Thesis Advisor: Prof. Rivkin 2010 Sugai 2 Table Of Contents 1. Introduction 3 i. Issue and Historical Background 3 ii. Age Minimum Incentives 7 2. Literature Review 9 3. Choice Framework 12 4. Conceptual Framework 16 5. Empirical Model 22 6. Data 29 7. Results 35 8. Conclusion 47 Sugai 3 PART 1: INTRODUCTION I. Issue and Historical Background Several decades ago, players entering the NBA directly from high school were few and far between. Moses Malone famously made the jump from high school in 1974, and more recently Shawn Kemp experienced early success after joining the NBA in 1989 without college basketball experience. In 1995, however, Kevin Garnett was selected fifth overall in the NBA draft and sparked the modern trend of bypassing college. Part of the reason behind his selection directly from high school was the new NBA collective bargaining agreement that forced rookies to sign under a slotted pay scale for three years rather than negotiate contracts. As Groothuis, Hill, and Perri (2007) suggest, teams could now pay players beneath their marginal revenue product for their first few years in the league and recoup any costs spent for on-the-job training and development.1 Sports journalists jumped on Kevin Garnett’s success story, and standout high school players began to follow his lead after witnessing his immediate impact in the league.
