What to talk about this week?  The Indianapolis Colts will select Andrew Luck as the first pick, and if you didn't know that, you were living under a rock.  The Indiana Pacers are riding a seven game win streak and just announced George Hill as the starter and Darren Collison will be coming off the bench.  Interesting side note there.  NHL Playoffs are in full force.  And we'll finish up with a peek at the baseball standings.

Larry Brown Back to Coaching for the what time?

No Job Offer Yet

I saw the headlines about Larry Brown possibly coaching SMU, and it gets me thinking one thing: WHY!??! I do he's a great coach and all of that.  The only coach to win a NBA Championship and a NCAA Championship, so that's definitely worth mentioning and that says something about this ability.  But this guy retires after every job he takes it feels like.  So what's the point of coaching here at SMU?  Brown could probably walk into any job he wanted to, and he's picking this to come back for coaching 

I do think he's a better coach for the college game because I feel like he does love that aspect of working with those guys.  The NBA is tough since this is men who are probably making more money than you, so it's not always easy to get their respect.  I know he was a good coach in the NBA, but ultimately if he's coming back, it would be at the college.

If he's able to get SMU relevant in any sense, then he's done the job right, and he'll probably walk away from it.  What's the over under on what you think he'll last? I'm going with a season if that. I just can't see Brown sticking with this job for that long. If he goes longer, then I was proven wrong, and he's a lifer as they say.
