  • 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.

The Twins are closing in on 100 losses for only the second time in franchise history and have a chance to tie or pass the 102-loss 1982 team. Attendance is not expected to top 2 million for the first time in Target Field history. While the club announced that manager Paul Molitor will return for 2017, the same has not been said for any of the coaches. With all the coaches’ contracts set to expire Oct. 31, the expectation is that changes are coming. What’s not clear is who will make the changes.

  • Cincinnati Reds' Last Glory Year in 1990
    Cincinnati Reds Press Clippings April 4, 2016 THIS DAY IN REDS HISTORY 1988-The Reds win on Opening Day for the sixth consecutive season, 5-4, in 12 innings over the Cardinals MLB.COM Glimpse of budding talent as Phils visit Reds By Chad Thornburg / MLB.com | April 2nd, 2016 + 17 COMMENTS Throughout every rebuilding process, there comes a point when a franchise begins to see results. Young prospects break through to the Majors. The lineup starts clicking, the pitching staff finds its groove. Soon, the wins start to accumulate. The Phillies and Reds are hoping 2016 is that year. Both organizations have fallen out of contention in recent years but are in the midst of significant rebuilds. There are many reasons to be optimistic about each club's future, starting with an Opening Day contest in Cincinnati on Monday at 4:10 p.m. ET. Right-hander Jeremy Hellickson will get the start for the Phillies in the opener, while 26- year-old righty Raisel Iglesias goes for the Reds. The Phillies roster that will take the field at Great American Ball Park features some promising youth -- including third baseman Maikel Franco -- with more talent potentially on its way among the Minor League ranks. "This is the most talent we've had in the four years I've been here," said Phillies director of player development Joe Jordan. "We got to see all of our big prospects ... together in big league camp this year, and they all represented themselves very well. There are a lot of good things happening." Opening Day will be a first for new Phillies manager Pete Mackanin, who has managed only on an interim basis prior to this season.
