Retire

September 13, 2012 – Kevin Burke Everything comes to an end. Nothing is forever. Nothing. The writing has been on the wall for a while, and it was finally announced Wednesday that hall of famer Jim Calhoun will retire as UConn head basketball coach. I spent four of the greatest years of my life roaming the [...]

November 17, 2011 – The Hoop Doctors Remember a few years ago when the Knicks traded for Cuttino Mobley (as part of Donnie Walsh’s plan to make room for LeBron), but he never ended playing a game for the Knicks, before retiring amid the new discovery of a rare heart condition he had? Well, Mobley [...]

May 6, 2011 – The Hoop Doctors Some head coaches are synonymous with the schools in which they coach. Jim Calhoun and UConn, Coach K and Duke, Tom Izzo and Michigan State, Jim Boeheim and Syracuse, and Gary Williams and Maryland come to mind. After 22 seasons in College Park, Williams has decided to remove [...]

October 7, 2010 – Allen Moll It’s almost painful to watch as the man, the myth, the legend, once known as “T-Mac” struggled to return to form last season in New York. Now armed with another off-season of rehab and more than a full year from his last knee surgery in February of ‘09, the [...]

July 23rd, 2008 – Dr. Anklesnap WNBA Catfight Last night I was out for drinks with a couple friends and was simultaneously trying to monitor the WNBA melee that broke out in the final seconds of the match-up between the heated rivals Detroit Shock and LA Sparks. The last basketball brawl this exciting to watch [...]

July 14th, 2008 – Dr. Dime Today I’ve been thinking about Stephon Marbury. Don’t ask me why, I have a pretty sick mind I guess. I’m far from an old timer as I can still ball with the best of them at the local Y, but I’m also long enough in the tooth to remember [...]
