Here's an interesting story that isn't making headlines in the US.
NBA All Star Steve Nash is in China "for a week with a handful of NBA players to appear on the finale of a Chinese basketball reality show and for a coaching clinic at a rural school where NBA players are helping build a new basketball court."
Nash put on a disguise and tried to join a pickup basketball game in China but his identity was recognized by his own Chinese fans...
Funny reading..........

Here's a Rivals writer who says Billy Gillispie's latest actions may have cost him a coaching job!
"Billy Gillispie probably cost himself a job"
http://rivals.yahoo.com/ncaa/basketball/blog/the_dagger/post/Billy-Gillispie-probably-cost-himself-a-job?urn=ncaab,185767
Oh - really??? his other DUI arrests and indiscretions didn't cost him the offer to coach at Kentucky, which was perhaps the top open coaching job in the nation!
And Indiana hiring Kelvin Sampson a couple years ago proves that anyone can get hired if there's hope he'll recruit 5-Star players and maybe win games.

The Hoopsreport.com continues with some pretty surprising preseason predictions..
http://www.thehoopsreport.com/articles.aspx
the latest silliness is they have Indiana at #33. Their predicted starting lineup will be 2 freshman and 2 sophs and one other complete newcomer.
Then this......"The best player to compare Muniru to is Dwight Howard. Muniru is just that ripped"
Muniru...by the way, has spent 6 years in high school and is 7-ft tall and at least 3-4 years older than the opponents he has faced in high school, and he still averaged only 5-10 ppg and about the same rebounds. Some games he was scoreless.
I don't think Dwight Howard had any such problem even tho he played high school ball when he was actually 16 and 17 years old, not 22 or 23.

One more note on NCAA discipline....
a D-II in Hawaii, BYU-Hawaii got nailed with 3 years of probation and other penalties for stuff that was pretty minor.
Seriously, a complex issue caused a kid to be ineligible and get this...
He failed to declare a major fast enough (the NCAA requires it be done before the kid's 3rd year).
Wow-- keep in mind, that this is essentially as severe as the penalty the NCAA gave Indiana for all the cheating that went on under Sampson.

lastly, just a funny thread....especially the jab at Wichita State coach Marshall...
