Brad Stevens might resemble a no-nonsense biology teacher or a member of the Geek Squad, but in the eyes of athletic directors these days he looks like a masterful coach. Stevens who is only 33-years-old led the Butler Bulldogs in the tournament past Hall of Famer Jim Boeheim, Frank “Gambino” Martin, legendary tourney coach Tom Izzo and damn near took down arguably the third best college basketball coach ever in Coach K. Stevens is 89-15 at Butler since taking over for Todd Lickliter and his potential seems limitless.
Oregon will be calling Mr. Stevens very soon if they haven’t already extended him or his agent a truckload of cash. Oregon has swung and missed on a lot of high caliber candidates already, but if they could land the young coach things would be on the up-and-up for the Ducks’ basketball program immediately. The one thing that might hold Stevens back would be the fact that if Gordon Hayward doesn’t go pro the Bulldogs’ would be returning five of its top six scorers and could make another run at the title next year. Decisions, decisions.
College basketball is now officially over so we change our focus to the NBA, MLB and NHL. Today we are going to roll with Major League Baseball. Good luck!

Today Major League Baseball kicks into high gear with 26 teams taking the field after the Red Sox defeated the Yankees last night 9-7 in a wild game. According to the USA TODAY the salaries of MLB players on opening-day rosters has decreased drastically by 17% since last year. This is the biggest dip in salaries since the survey began over 20 years ago in 1988. The main reason for the fall is directly correlated to the economy, but some teams decided to let high priced players sign with the usual suspects. The Boston Red Sox spared no cost boosting their payroll 33% percent over last year and the Evil Empire (Yankees) increased 2%. Believe it or not, the payroll for the Yankees’ has ballooned to six times that of the Pittsburgh Pirates and their starting infield will earn more than 16 teams in MLB. How can Bud Selig and all the other artifacts running baseball not realize this is a serious issue?
Oh yea, and PLAY BALL!
Reports are surfacing that the new owner of the New Jersey Nets is going to offer Mike Krzyzewski anywhere from $12-$15 million a year to become the head coach/GM. This won’t be the first time Coach K has been aggressively pursued by the NBA because six years ago he turned down a five-year $40 million offer from the Los Angeles Lakers. Krzyzewski openly admitted he thought long and hard about accepting the Lakers offer, but in the end it was too hard for him to leave Duke University. Would it be a little easier for Coach K to leave now if he wins his fourth National Championship tonight against Butler? Prokhorov is filthy rich and if he is willing to throw that sort of money at Krzyzewski isn’t it reasonable to think he will also make a huge play at LeBron James or other high profile free agents? I fully realize the Nets have only won 11 games this year, but this is not a bad job if you recognize what they actually have going for them. The Nets have a new billionaire owner, they are more than likely moving to Brooklyn, they have young stars in Devin Harris, Brook Lopez, Terrence Williams, and Courtney Lee plus they have three draft picks in this year’s draft. It will be extremely difficult to pull Mike Krzyzewski away from the dynasty he has created at Duke, but I think it’s reasonable to think if he was ever going to make the move this would be the best opportunity for him to make the jump.
The men’s NCAA Championship will be decided tonight in Indianapolis. While it has been an excellent run by the Butler Bulldogs tonight it comes to an end because Duke is playing at a very high level. Good luck!
