... And This Is What College Basketball In Kentucky Will Be Like


I live here and that's about it. I don't care for Kentucky or Louisville. So hearing all the bickering going on (while my beloved Tar Heels sit as defending champions) can give a man a headache.

Lost in all the news of Rick Pitino's infedelity, John Calipari's burned bridges and Billy Gillispie's DUI is actual basketball news. So here comes the slime.

Pitino just hired Shabaka Lands as an assistant to the head coach at Louisville. Lands has ties with top recruit Marquis Teague. Lands is an assistant coach on the high school team Teague plays for. Nice.

Oh, and Teague just had his official visit to rival Kentucky.

Teague, from Indianapolis, is the brother of Jeff Teague, an All-ACC guard at Wake Forest last year (Wake is also on the younger Teague's list). Their father played for Pitino when he was the head guy at Boston University.

I wonder if Calipari will now try to hire Teague's dad as a special assistant to the coach or something now.
