    We really should have beaten UCLA. If we miss the tourney that will be the one we look back at and kick ourselves.

    One thing I have learned in a long life: that all our science, measured against reality, is primitive and childlike -- and yet it is the most precious thing we have.

    --Albert Einstein

    The fact that life evolved out of nearly nothing, some 10 billion years after the universe evolved out of literally nothing, is a fact so staggering that I would be mad to attempt words to do it justice.

    It will go down in history as the timo. The stab in the back.

    Bad decision. But no 1-point loss can be blamed on a single play. We never should have been in that position at the end of the game. I think the platooning of starters was a bigger mistake, and I bet we'll see a different rotation tonight.

There is little of all that we do which the eye of man can see. But we smooth out difficulties; we relieve stress; we correct mistakes; we take up other men's burdens and by our efforts we make possible the peaceful life of men in a peaceful state.”

    Speaking of which I thought of you Saturday. Seth Davis was discussing the end of overtime in the DePaul Butler game. One team got a rebound with less than 10 seconds, pushed the ball upcourt and scored the winning basket as time expired. Seth said "I want to commend the coach who did not call time out. That is what you do; you never call time out in that situation, and most coaches do it anyway. So congrats to the coach." (I cant remember which team was which.)

    Ha! That's nice of you but it's common sense. Pat has also been pissed about Kodiak's timeouts in those situations--which seem never to work out. End of game, your team rebounds the ball or steals it, and the margin is one score, it's just one of those terrifying times in life where you have to cede control and hope for the best to maximize the chance for success. It's every parent's biggest anxiety, but ultimately a great coach and a great parent makes him or herself irrelevant.
