  • Mega Conferences
    Non-revenue sports Football, of course, provides the impetus for any conference realignment. In men's basketball, coaches will lose the built-in recruiting tool of playing near home during conference play and then at Madison Square Garden for the Big East Tournament. But what about the rest of the sports? Here's a look at the potential Missouri Pittsburgh Syracuse Nebraska Ohio State Northwestern Minnesota Michigan St. Wisconsin Purdue State Penn Michigan Iowa Indiana Illinois future of the non-revenue sports at Rutgers if it joins the Big Ten: BASEBALL Now: Under longtime head coach Fred Hill Sr., the Scarlet Knights made the Rutgers NCAA Tournament four times last decade. The Big East Conference’s national clout was hurt by the defection of Miami in 2004. The last conference team to make the College World Series was Louisville in 2007. After: Rutgers could emerge as the class of the conference. You find the best baseball either down South or out West. The power conferences are the ACC, Pac-10 and SEC. A Big Ten team has not made the CWS since Michigan in 1984. MEN’S CROSS COUNTRY Now: At the Big East championships in October, Rutgers finished 12th out of 14 teams. Syracuse won the Big East title and finished 14th at nationals. Four other Big East schools made the Top 25. After: The conferences are similar. Wisconsin won the conference title and took seventh at nationals. Two other schools made the Top 25. MEN’S GOLF Now: The Scarlet Knights have made the NCAA Tournament twice since 1983.

  • The Father of Basketball Coaching. Indianapolis: Masters, 1996.223 Pp
    222 Aethlon XVI:1 / Fall 1998 Blair Kerkhoff. Phog Allen: The Father of Basketball Coaching. Indianapolis: Masters, 1996.223 pp. $19.95. "I am very glad to know of your interest in the University of Kansas, but as you know, we do not have any special scholarships of any kind for athletes here at the University." Thus opens the standard letter Phog Allen used in the 1930s and 40s to respond to inquiries from prospective basketball players. Gems such as Allen's letter underscore the vast changes in college athletics, basketball in particular, since the 1940s. They're what fascinated me in reading this biography penned by a sportswriter for The Kansas City Star At times I wished Kerkhoff would provide more commentary and analysis on Phog's life than he does, as Kerkhoff tends to leave Allen's comments and actions to interpret themselves. But Allen's colorful statements do provide many entertaining moments in the book. Of the AAU, which Allen regularly attacked for having too much control in amateur athletics, he snapped, "I like the AAU like a fellow likes garlic for dessert." Another time he claimed AAU stood for ''Asinine And Unfair." Even his own players were not spared. Of center B. H. Born, who helped lead Kansas to the championship game in 1953, Phog complained after one game, "He stood around like a Christmas tree, and out of season at that." Apparently, Allen was also willing to stretch the truth for a good yarn, especially to inspire his teams in pre-game and halftime talks.

  • Tim Jankovich – SMU Coaching U Live April 2017 (Dallas, Texas)
    Tim Jankovich – SMU Coaching U Live April 2017 (Dallas, Texas) -When I was young I thought it was all about X’s & O’s and would laugh when I heard older coaches talk about culture. -Will study teams in the offseason to try and get ideas. Will watch clinic videos to try to spark ideas. -Game is so infinite. It’s one of the most exciting things about basketball to me. -We are all products of what we’ve been able to experience. I’ve had the fortune to work for a collection of 9 fantastic coaches. It’s not about copying a coach. It’s thinking about what makes him great. Lon Kruger (current Oklahoma head coach; Jankovich worked for him at UT-Pan American): • Not afraid to be simple offensively. Sometimes as coaches we feel like we have to manufacture every basket. • Coach was so competitive and so smart • My biggest takeaway was actually that there was more than one way to skin a cat. I had played for an old school guy in Jack Hartman and I thought that was the way to do it. Jack Hartman (former Kansas State head coach where Jankovich played and worked for him): • Base of knowledge Bob Weltich (former Texas head coach where Jankovich worked for him) • “Motion Offense” acumen (Weltich coached under Bob Knight at Army). Motion is truly glorious – five guys running around trying not get in the other guys’ way while still being purposeful. Boyd Grant (former Colorado State head coach where Jankovich worked for him) • Coach Grant won with less unlike anyone I’ve ever seen.
