No NBA for Coach K

Coach K's loyalty to Duke is admirable.

I like the way Mike Krzyzewski handled the situation when his name was mentioned among Los Angeles Lakers coaching rumors. He simply said that he was not going to the Lakers, he did not know how those rumors started and that he would never leave Duke until he got out of coaching. Story

ROUNDBALL CHATTER


	Patrick Patterson

One of the big winners before the NBA draft was the SEC. Think about how much stronger the league is with seven solid players pulling out of the draft and returning to school. No other conference was affected more with kids coming back. Think about it ... Patrick Patterson (Kentucky), Tyler Smith (Tennessee), Jarvis Varnado (Missisippi State), Devan Downey and Dominique Archie (South Carolina), Michael Washington (Arkansas) and Tasmin Mitchell (LSU). These guys could make up the All-SEC team, baby! More Chatter

	Sean Miller

Terry (Phoenix): What do you think of Sean Miller going to Arizona? Vitale: The money difference between Xavier and Arizona is incredible. Lute Olson built one of the elite programs over the years and you can't be surprised. Xavier has done a fantastic job with their program over the years but they have become like Miami-Ohio in football with the Cradle of Coaches. Miami put guys like Bo Schembechler and Ara Parseghian into head coaching jobs. They have developed some solid guys who have moved on, like Thad Matta, Pete Gillen, Skip Prosser, and now Miller. I think Sean will do a very good job in Tucson.
