Wolves: Scouting the NCAA stars Wolves President David Kahn jetted off to Milwaukee with coach Kurt Rambis shortly after this morning's unusually early practice, in order to watch Evan Turner and Derrick Favors play in the Ohio State-Georgia Tech game (they also caught John Wall and DeMarcus Cousins play for Kentucky in New Orleans on Saturday). [Regarding Darko Milicic's desire for guaranteed playing time,] Kahn said from Milwaukee that "it's premature" to consider whether the Wolves would make Milicic any promises, but "I'm pleased to hear he's enjoying it here."
Souhan: You're welcome, Chris Mack So Xavier whips the Gophers on Friday afternoon, and in the postgame press conference, the Xavier coach -- I believe his name is Whiny McBaldwimp -- thanks me for inspiring his players. Here's my response: You're welcome. I know that you don't have the force of personality or coaching chops to inspire your players by talking to them about, you know, playing in the NCAA tournament in front of millions of fans, trying to bring glory to your school and perhaps even improving your future career options. Nope, you need a guy writing about your opponent to rally your players.
