Name Game

Tom Izzo and Bruce Weber are having a free throw contest before tonight's game. This is a really fun idea and I can't wait to see it (provided my satellite dish with its 20 inches of snow piled on top of it comes through with a signal), and will really test Izzo's reputation as being a solid free throw shooter. I'm sure Weber is probably pretty good too, since he laid down the challenge, and the crowd will definitely make it hard on Izzo. It will be fun to watch!

So in honor of the "battle of the coaches" tonight, today's name game focuses on college basketball coaches. How many can you name with the schools they coach at? These are all coaches that are recognizable at the national level or in the Big Ten (no pictures of Stetson University's head coach).

1. John Callipari - Kentucky
2. Mark Few - Zaga
3. Bruce Weber - Ill
4. No idea
5. Looks like a typical a-hole college b-ball coach
6. Forget his name, but I know it's Nova's coach because he's one of the best dressed coaches
7. Gary _____ - Maryland
8. Butler's coach?
9. Gillespie?
10. John Thompson III - Georgetown

I think I did ok. I hate John Callipari (even though I can't point him out in a crowd) because he basically overthrew the Kentucky program. He didn't honor the scholarship players they had and essentially kicked them out the door. I think he is a stereotypical crooked college b-ball coach.

I think most people would agree with you.

I got Bill Self and Bruce Weber.

I recognized the school for Painter, Wright, and Thompson, but couldn't remember the names.
