The Orlando paper is reporting that Billy Donovan has a huge offer from the Heat and is expected to take the job.
Teach us to write in a hurry. We meant the Magic.

The Paulus family is remarkably athletic. We tend to think of Greg first, and of course his brother Mike is starting football at UNC this fall. But now their youngest sibling, Sarah, will play basketball at Fairfield, making her the seventh member of the family to be a scholarship athlete, and making their parents, [...]

The NCAA, with shocking speed, has opted to grant Duke lacrosse players a fifth season. You’ll recall that the season was canceled in the wake of the lacrosse charges last spring.

We want to take a few minutes and expand on our earlier thoughts on John Feinstein. What bothers us is not that he is critical of Duke. That’s a positive and to be expected and indeed it’s a good thing to have critics. It makes you better.
