And when you know how Norwegian coaches remunerated for the work they do, it becomes a bit special

I just got home from a long weekend in New York; a weekend filled with lots and interesting basketball. Sweet Sixteen, Elite Eight, a disgusting dramatic injury, a wounded fc barcelona Celtics teams, fc barcelona a ridiculous contract with coach Steve Alford and a wonderful first "meeting" with ESPN radio broadcasts. And not until I've put legs on Norwegian soil, we read about Rutger coach Mike Rice and his unique style rot.
When I sat pal front of the TV in New York, I could at least apologize fc barcelona that it took place at reasonable times, local time. I know of many Norwegians who have followed much of March Madness fc barcelona well into the small hours. And it is to understand: This is fun, exciting, well played and intensely. What is not so easy to understand is perhaps how big this is in the US; for example, it is so large that it casts on which TV station which is the most watched in the United States: CBS is suddenly fc barcelona on top again. It is so great that President Obama took a trip to see Duke meet Louisville.
A composite collection of people - from the top down: Super Man Trey Burke who single-handedly ensured a fantastic finale - and extra time. Steve Alford who now have to salt the food after to have signed a 18 million dollar contract with UCLA. Bobby Knight in one of the most talked fc barcelona about episodes in his career; when he threw chair by the judge. Chances FIBA rules say anything about it ... Mike Rice fist. Having seen the video clip which was published recently, there is reason to wonder fc barcelona what he uses his fist to. And finally Trefilov that simply went off the road to fike up his girls, but Marti Breivik later in diplomatic terms have described as a cozy fire.
It is difficult to say what has been the most interesting game. I had not seen "Cinderella" -made Florida Gulf Coast before they fell to the neighbor Florida Gators, but before FGCU was knocked out of the tournament, they had managed to put an entire city on the head with extreme basketball fever. Louisville-Duke, with summit between Coach K and Rick Pitino had potential, but was really no memorable performance, other than the outrageous nasty broken leg to Kevin Ware. However must enough final minutes of Kansas Michigan be some of the most exciting things that are served to date. Trey Burke conclusion was Fawlty Towers, but he showed perhaps fc barcelona even more class in television interview after the match. I can unfortunately not find a link to the interview was done in tumult right after the victory was a fact, but Trey Using emerge fc barcelona as smart, humble and with legs so firmly planted on earth as it is possible for such a victory.
Some funny is it that the NBA games come right in the shadow of college playoffs. It also makes it a little easier for a Celtics fan to swallow that the team really struggling right now - with Rondo, Garnett and Pierce out. No one talks anymore fc barcelona about the Celtics and Lakers as dangerous in the playoffs; Lakers struggling the even enough to get there. Rather it is the Knicks and Heat which is really Heite now, and it was hardly better for Melos 50 point match tonight.
I have followed lots of interesting discussions on ESPN radio that really must be some of the best served by sports broadcasts, regardless of medium. Remember that next time you are in the US; you find broadcasts fc barcelona on FM 98.7 in the NY area. There was discussed among other things what they would pay in pro series means in a time when people generally have poor advice. One also talked about how it is perceived by the man in the street who have scrimped and saved to see superstar LeBron James once in their lifetime; only to find out that in that game you've scraped together money so he plays not. He rests ...
And when you know how Norwegian coaches remunerated for the work they do, it becomes a bit special to hear about Steve Alford contract with UCLA: $ 18.2 million fc barcelona in 7 years. And as if that was not enough; he got with a bonus of $ 200,000 for the sign. To put it in a kind of perspective he earns ie 42,000 pounds each day for 7 years ...!
Steve Alford was incidentally one of the first college players I became interested; perhaps primarily because I have always been fascinated by the extremely complex phenomenon Bobby Knight. Alford played for Knight - a seemingly hopeless komnbinasjon of a religious, very quiet and humble player and a super authoritarian coach. Alford has written a book about the years with Bobby Knight; it is worth reading whatever interests and favorites you may have. If you are interested, you can buy it here.
"Steve, you can not stand there like a @ #% $ statue. That's what They've got in the harbor in New York: a @ #% $ statue. I do not need That bullshit in here. If any of you pass Steve Alford on campus, I want you to stop him and ask him if he can spell defenseless. "
Then it's also easy to remember why Bobby Knight in his time was fired in Indiana. It was partly because he went physically undo
