'Hawks and Chiefs can win if they'll just take this advice
The underdors really know how to screw up a guy's bracket. But all of the No. 1 seeds are still around. If they all make it to the Final Four, it will be the first time in history it has happened.
- Kansas is a lock to win the national championship if:
1. Paul Pierce doesn't get into foul trouble.
2. Billy Thomas keeps the hot hand he had in the team's win against Purdue.
3. Scot Pollard doesn't injure his hand in some kind of horrible fingernail-polishing accident.
Let the onslaught of Elvis jokes begin.
4. Syracuse doesn't sneak into the tournament disguised as Providence or Chattanooga.
i wonder how people would be responding to the Chiefs' acquisition of quarterback Elvis Grbac if the Steve Bono experiment had not gone up in a ball of flame. Granted, Grbac would not have been my first choice, but he has size and can throw deep, two things Sonny, er, Steve seemed to be lacking. But I'm not sure poor quarterbacking has been the
SPORTS REPORTER
Grbac will be the third ex-49er quarterback the Chiefs have signed. The first two were Joe Montana and Steve Bono, who had solid careers in San Francisco before coming to Kansas City and suffering a significant drop-off in their level of play.
Chiefs' problem.
Some have said the reason for that is the absence of Jerry Rice, but that is oversimplifying things. The 48ers haven't had a running game as strong as Kansas City's, so that alone should balance out the Rice factor.
It all comes down to play-calling. In that area the Chiefs have been as predictable as the steam whistle; run, swing pass, run, run. In the one game of the year they were creative with their run-pass mix, they handily defeated the Super Bowl Champion Green Bay Packers. In that game, the Chiefs lined up Hill (the fastest guy on the team) in the slot and stretched the field. And it worked. So they didn't do it anymore.
Mike Shannahan and Mike Holmgren are masters at calling plays, and their records show it. Shannahan called the shots for the best offensive team ever, the 1995 Niners, and has built a powerful offense as the head coach in Denver. Holmgren watched Brett Favre slowly mature, learn the complex plays and take the team to a Super Bowl.
Instead of placing all the blame for last season
on Bono, some of it should be given to offensive coordinator Paul Hackett. Maybe that's where the Chiefs should be looking for a replacement. But, unlike their play-calling, that would make sense.
Speaking of play-calling, I'm looking forward to watching Kansas football after reading Adam Herchman's interview with new coach Terry Allen last week in the Kansan. Allen said he intended to have a wide-open offense that should be fun to watch. It will be a far cry from last season's "guess which way Henley will run" offense.
A bitter Missouri basketball fan, who is used to having nothing to do at this time of year, wrote to The Kansas City Star last week claiming that if California fell off of the map, Kansas wouldn't have a basketball team. While Tiger fans are making speculations that have no basis in reality, I have a few questions about their team:
1. Is there a law that all the really talented players from Missouri (i.e. Ryan Robertson) must go to other schools, or does it just work out that wav?
2. If a shark stops swimming, it can't breathe and will die. If Jason Sutherland stopped fouling, could he breathe or would he die?
3. Is it true that Norm Stewart was one of the people booing Sutherland during the Big 12 Tournament?
4. If Missouri hadn't scraped out a lucky overtime win over Kansas, would anyone have noticed that they had a basketball team this season?
Knight accused of abusing players
Guard says coach forced him to leave
The Associated Press
INDIANAPOLIS — Neil Reed is accusing Indiana coach Bob Knight of verbally and physically abusing him and pressuring him to leave the basketball program.
"If the choice were mine, I would have returned to Indiana University," the junior guard said in a statement Tuesday. "But the choice was not mine. Coach Knight has made it clear that in making those decisions about my future, he is accountable to no one."
Reed's statement also included vague references to Knight verbally and physically abusing coaches and players, although he
did not elaborate. Reed said he was made the focal point of the coach's abuse.
"Coach Knight has continued his longstanding tradition of verbal attacks and physical assaults on his players and his coaches," Reed said. "I have personally been at the forefront of those focused attacks during my time at IU."
Reed's comments were part of a statement announcing that he would leave the basketball program at Knight's request.
Knight released a statement through the university Tuesday night, denying Reed's allegations that he had abused players and coaches.
Reed would not elaborate on how he was abused, but he said university officials were aware of what he alleged had happened.
"I only have the truth as my defense," Reed told WTHR-TV in reference to the allegations.
Earlier, Knight told Indianapolis television stations that he met with juniors Reed, Andre Patterson, Richard Mandeville and Robbie Eggers to discuss their futures. He said all four players were told what was expected of them next season, and each was given the option to play elsewhere.
Knight said Eggers, Mandeville and Patterson indicated they wanted to complete their careers at Indiana, which lost to Colorado 80-62 last week in the first round of the NCAA tournament.
"What I want is for this to work out for these kids the best way possible," Knight said. "I've told them in each case what I think, and they've thought it over and have told us what they would like to do,
and we'll just take that and go from there."
Knight criticized Reed, Patterson, Eggers, Mandeville and Charlie Miller for inconsistent play this season and questioned their dedication to the program.
After Indiana's loss to Colorado, which ended a disappointing 22-11 season for the Hoosiers, Reed said Knight met with him and two other juniors.
"Coach Knight told us, 'I think you guys should transfer because you are not going to play here next year.'" Reed said.
Reed's departure follows a rocky season for Indiana, which went 9-9.
During the regular season, Reed had career high averages in points (12.9) and rebounds (3.0). He also led the Big Ten in free-throw percentage this season, shooting 85.2 percent.
