While it has been seriously slow in the news department, this piece by my friend Tom Scharpling for The Classical<\/a> re-imagining every 2012 NCAA Tournament coach (including John Thompson III) as a movie villain was too excellent to not share.<\/p>\n I was saddened and surprised to read in the latest Princeton Alumni Weekly about the passing of Gib Kirwin '58<\/a>. A supporter of this site and a contributor to the listerv that preceded it, I was always glad to hear from him. My condolences to his family and friends.<\/p>\n If you play MLB 2K12 and want to add a Will Venable<\/a> cyberface, this creepy link should do the trick. The real life Venable finished spring training batting .349 with nine stolen bases<\/a>.<\/p>\n Jimmy Tillette<\/a>, who was \"the first outsider to infiltrate Princeton's inner circle [of coaches]\" per this 2003 Sports Illustrated<\/a> feature and then served as the head coach at Samford for 15 seasons, was fired.<\/p>\n Both Northwestern's John Shurna and Georgetown's Henry Sims had good accountings of themselves at the Reese's College All-Star Game<\/a> in New Orleans.<\/p>\n Freshman Adam Jones is leaving Fairfield<\/a>.<\/p>\n Oh, and Pitt won the CBI<\/a> by beating Washington State in the decisive game three of their finals series.<\/p>\n\n\n
