<\/a>If you follow me on twitter (and if you don\u2019t, you can @jaredstillman), you will know that my current man crush is that of Florida Gulf Coast University Head Coach Andy Enfield. I love Andy Enfield. It\u2019s not because he\u2019s got his vastly underrated Atlantic Sun school into the Sweet 16. It isn\u2019t because he started a company worth over $100 million (his level of involvement fiscally is being debated, regardless, it\u2019s probably more money than I have). My reason for loving Andy Enfield is two-fold. First, he married a super model. While we all know that, what you may not know is that, according to NESN.com, Enfield and his wife\u2019s first date was to a Taco Bell. \u201cAre you kidding me? A Taco Bell<\/i> for a first date?\u201d you must be asking yourself. Yes, he took his wife to Taco Bell. Marry a super model, that\u2019s cool. Take her to Taco Bell on the first date? You\u2019re the man. Secondly, the level of respect Enfield\u2019s players have for him cannot be overstated. When they are all cheering around you on the court after the game and chanting your name, that\u2019s when you know you\u2019ve earned their respect and admiration. Working for someone you respect and appreciate will provide motivation that can\u2019t even be replicated with high levels of pay. Enfield has proven that he can get everyone to buy into him, whether it be a super model at Taco Bell or lowly recruited Division I athletes.<\/p>\n
Things I Hope My Child Never Does:<\/b><\/p>\n
I am drinking the Marshall Henderson Kool-Aid. For starters, I think he is an absolutely dynamic scorer. Those don\u2019t grow on trees. He put a rather pedestrian Ole Miss Rebels team on his back and came an eyelash away from getting them to the Sweet 16. His antics and off-the-court drama are a little much, but he provides the perfect character to a sport in which the stars are usually based upon sharply dressed sixty year-old men who have been yelling at officials and drawing on boards for decades. Marshall Henderson was a shot in the arm to the interest of a game, a great game (LaSalle-Ole Miss), that absolutely no one would have watched without him. That being said, I hope J-Bone Jr. is smart enough not to do the \u201cGator Chomp\u201d in the face of the only SEC team still alive.<\/p>\n
Would You Rather?<\/b><\/p>\n
The hypothetical game played in bars since the beginning of existence is \u201cWould you rather\u201d. Usually one subject poses a question to another by placing two extremely unlikely and undesirable situations together and requiring a definitive answer. My question is if you were a college basketball program, would you rather be a team like Wisconsin (first round exit\u2026shocker), who is always competitive yet never elite, or a team like Kentucky which followed up a National Championship with a season that concluded itself following an NIT loss to Robert Morris? I will take the latter. In pro sports, teams make trades to mortgage their franchise\u2019s futures for short-term gains (Doyle Alexander for John Smoltz anybody?) all the time. The benefits, both financially and from a satisfaction standpoint, that come from winning a title far outweigh dealing with being awful the next year. Give me the Wildcats situation, as painful as that is to say.<\/p>\n
Anyway that\u2019s all for now. Be sure to check out the show next week. Tweet in your mailbag questions and to win some prizes! Oh and New Hampsire Sports Night would like to wish Jeanne Lester a very happy birthday.<\/p>\n
Til then,<\/p>\n
