I was sure Steve Robinson was gone. I mean, the Tar Heel basketball program had already lost seven players and their radio color man (Mick Mixon to the Carolina Panthers). Surely an assistant coach would jump at a shot at being a head coach elsewhere. Nope. Steve Robinson will stay at North Carolina and not…

It’s been pretty quiet at Dave Sez this week. Just doesn’t seem to be much happening of interest in the world o’ sports. At least not much stuff I’m interested in. Or maybe it’s just post-NCAA Tourney burnout. Anyway, I’m back – and with something a little different. I don’t normally post too much about…

I haven’t linked to Chris Chase’s site in a while, but he has a nice post today about Juan Dixon’s incredible game for the Wizards last night. Dixon came out of nowhere (relatively speaking) to explode for 35 points. ESPN showed a graphic saying he was just the fourth player in NBA history to go…

Ken Pomeroy has an outstanding post out now, summarizing college basketball season statistics and trends back to the late 40s. He did such a nice job here that I’m not going to soil the sheets adding analysis to his analysis. Just go to Ken’s post and read it for yourself.

You’ve probably seen the story – Oklahoma baseball coach Larry Cochell was fired yesterday for twice using a racial epithet about one of his own players. One interesting angle about this story was brought up by The Sports Frog and echoed over at the ACC BasketBlog. That point is that the national media is doing…

Last night, the Phoenix Suns finished their predictable sweep of the crumbing Memphis Grizzlies. No real story there. The interesting stuff actually happened after the game when wanna-be gangsta Jason Williams – excuse me, White Chocolate or is it just J-Will – pounced on a reporter who had dared write a negative article about him…

This is a great story. Apparently rasslin’ star Ric Flair’s teenage son is a real wrestler. Unfortunately, his opponents all know who he is. After he was beaten in a match in February, his opponent taunted him by lampooning his dad. Little Flair (Reid Fliehr) body slammed the boy, knocking him out. The article doesn’t…

McSweeney’s is not a site I read regularly, but whenever I’m sent there, I’m amazed at how good and funny the writing is. I found an article there yesterday (via the Sports Frog) about the last 25 years of the Washington Wizards. Pure genius. Check this quote: As part of a seven-player trade with the…

In news that sure to surprise everyone (OK, no one), the Atlanta Journal-Constitution says that Jarrett Jack will enter the NBA Draft. The AJC reports that, like Eric Williams, Jack won’t hire an agent, leaving open the possibility that he will return. I wouldn’t count on him coming back. I think he’ll go in the…

After Monday’s announcement that Shelden Williams will stay at Duke one more year, Caulton Tudor, like a lot of people, is ready to declare Duke the ACC favorites in 2006. He goes on to rank all twelve teams. It’s hard to quibble with his picks too much, as there are still a few unanswered personnel…
