After each of the players had taken his trip up the ladder to cut down the nets, the basket was lowered. Leaning on his crutches, Ware finished the job. The reserve guard whose injury rallied his team and made national headlines was the last with the honors, which he didn't know was coming. "They kind of told me last minute, so I really was thankful for that," Ware said. "It meant everything, honestly. Not being able to play but still being able to cut down the nets, that was big." USA Today Sports Kurt Rambis: I can't believe Pitino ducked when the confetti cannon went off. #NCAAChamps. Twitter @KRambis Andre Iguodala: Pitino ain't been to the hood!!! He duckin shots!!

Juwan Howard, Jimmy King, Ray Jackson, and Jalen Rose are also in attendance. The Big Lead |

Q: Any thoughts on who will win the Final Four? Tristan Thompson: I'm going to go with Wichita State. I hope Wichita State wins, because we've got two Canadians on the team. (Nick Wiggins and Chadrack Lufile.) The Shockers. If not, Louisville. Q: Did you see Louisville's Kevin Ware break his leg, and what did you think when that happened? A: We were in the locker room when the game was on, so we saw it happen. Our reaction was what everyone else thinks. Some of us turned. You don't want to look at it. You're just praying for the kid. I actually know the kid. In high school, Adidas would run these basketball clinics and he was there. He played for the Atlanta Celtics. Cleveland Plain Dealer |

![]() Another strong candidate for the Rutgers job could be Detroit Pistons coach Lawrence Frank, sources told Yahoo! Sports. Pernetti expressed interest with Frank before the hiring of Rice four years ago, but he decided to stay on the NBA track. Frank had significant success as the coach of the New Jersey Nets for six-plus seasons, reaching the Eastern Conference semifinals three times. He also has a collegiate background as an assistant with Marquette and Tennessee. Yahoo! Sports Former Sacramento Kings and New Mexico State coach Reggie Theus will be the next coach at Cal State Northridge, multiple sources close to the situation told ESPN.com. Theus replaces Bobby Braswell at the Big West school. Theus has been trying to get back into college coaching the past two years. He was a finalist at his alma mater a year ago but was passed over by Dave Rice for the UNLV job. ESPN.com Dan Gelston: Mike Rice from his home in NJ: "There's no explanation for what's on those films. There is no excuse for it. I was wrong." Twitter @APgelston Dan Gelston: Mike Rice at NJ home: "I want to tell everybody who's believed in me that I'm deeply sorry for the pain and hardship that I've caused." Twitter @APgelston Ray Allen not only watched it prior to entering the Heat’s locker room Tuesday night, but he called over Heat teammates — such as Norris Cole, Udonis Haslem and Dwyane Wade — to watch. “I mean, it was just despicable,” Allen said. “Not only as a parent, but I think about where I went, the places I’ve gone in my career, my parents kind of lent me to all these other people. I’ve been raised not only by Mom and Dad, but by several coaches, AAU coaches, high school coaches and then my college coach, and all of them had a hand in getting me to who I am today. And not to mention the teachers that I grew up under, learning, so we trust in the people we lend our kids off to, to help them grow. And I only hope when I let my kids go, there’s somebody watching them and growing and making sure they do that.” Palm Beach Post Is the the physical stuff that crossed the line? “Verbal can cross the line and physical can cross the line. Both of them can cross the line because sometime verbal is sometimes as worse as physical. So it’s just all depends on what you say verbally. If you get to saying some of the stuff he was saying, I’m kinda used to that on the streets. If your homeboy on the streets is saying that, it’s cool. But if it’s somebody that’s not your homeboy, it’s a good chance something can go down. So from a coaching standpoint, if you didn’t recruit me like that, and I go to arena and you start coaching me like that, I’m going to have to take it somewhere else. You expect to go into a good environment and learn from a guy for four years, five years, however long you’re there. And some players want to be coaches, and that’s nothing you want to learn from.” New York Daily News |
