My brother is 41 now, a successful doctor with two kids. And here he was, still talking about his Division III college basketball team. You know those stories about a wise coach who inspires a group of plucky overachievers to overcome the odds and win state, or whatever? This is not one of those stories. In the beginning—before the run at the record, the national media and the fellatio strike—there was just a college basketball team and a coach.
In the fall of 1990, they huddled in a locker room in Rochester, N.Y. Dan Greenstone, the team’s skinny sixth man, raised his hand. Inside each of those young men, something stirred. Thirty minutes later, the Fords took the floor. By losing by 70 points. Dan Greenstone, Haverford’s sixth man in 1990-91, was like many of his teammates that season: he possessed the desire but not always the skill to beat the more-talented teams the Fords played.

McDonough/Sports Illustrated (floor) The fans in the Providence Civic Center on St. Patrick’s Day in 1989 got more than their money’s worth in a first-round game for the ages.

Seven seconds remained in that first round 1989 NCAA tournament game between Princeton and Georgetown when Scrabis, the Tigers’ captain and lone senior, raised up to shoot the basketball. Yet Carril’s 16th-seeded Princeton Tigers trailed the Hoyas, the most dominant and polarizing brand in college hoops, by a single point, 50-49, when Scrabis dribbled off a screen from his center, Kit Mueller, near the top of the key. “Look how far away he is,” Scrabis says, rewatching the moment on video today. I got it, Scrabis thought. “But 6’10” guys aren’t hiding in the hedges.” Manny Millan/Sports Illustrated Mourning pounced from the foul line to swat Scrabis’ shot away. But 25 years ago some underdogs risked extinction. Ivy League - Postgame: WBB vs. Yale - 2/27/15.
NFHS announces high school basketball rule changes for 2014-15 season - MaxWire National Blog. Photo by Mike Braca Long sleeves like those worn here by Orhan Cecunjamin of Bridgeport Central (Conn.) are permissible under new NFHS rules.
To those hoping for a nationwide shot clock mandate or a March Madness-style postseason tournament featuring state champions, prepare to be disappointed. The National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS) Basketball Rules Committee announced several minor rules changes Monday to be implemented for the 2014-15 season. No mention of shot clocks or national postseason tournaments. The most noticeable change will occur during free throws.
Here's a look at the other changes: * Taking a page from last season's emphasis at the college level, placing two hands or an extended arm bar on a ball-handler will be considered a foul. . * Expansion of the definition of an intentional foul, which is now defined as "excessive contact with an opponent while the ball is live or until an airborne shooter returns to the floor.
