Note about Solo and the refs at the exhibition:
One of his late fouls came on defense in the paint where the offensive player kind of jumped into him to initiate the contact. He didn't appear to reach, just got the shooter with his body I think. After the call he looked exasperated, but later, during one of the timeouts, he sought out the ref and had a good 20-30 second conversation with him to get clarification. From where I sat he didn't appear to be complaining, rather trying to understand so he can avoid similar calls and improve. This was a guy I recognize as a regular P12 ref but I don't know his name. They were smiling the whole time, and he ended it with a pat on the refs butt.
So that seems like a big step forward for Solo IMO. I don't recall seeing him do that before and I typically watch for those types of things between whistles.

cal's new chancellor nicholas dirks (better known as nicky d to his crew) is reviewing an exploratory academic iniative whereby all cal student athletes would need to successfully pass an advanced course in twerking as a mandatory requirement for graduation
the course would be taught by former diamond bar hs & cal grad dr. alex morgan
this mandatory class is in response to feedback from wall street hedge fund managers & silicon valley high tech venture capitalists that listing twerking as a skill on the resumes of recent graduates is considered a major bonus

gregg gottlieb told me "not sure exactly who will be our first "big" off the bench at this point...i think our strategy will focus more on putting our best players on the floor regardless of position...so you may see us susbstitute a perimeter player and go small if needed"
part of my signficant enjoyment of cal bb is that the bears staff are not "locked" into any formulaic systems, they operate like a crafty wile e coyote

We now come to the Acme Spring-Powered Shoes. The remains of a pair of these purchased by Mr. Coyote on June 23rd are Plaintiff's Exhibit D. Selected fragments have been shipped to the metallurgical laboratories of the University of California at Santa Barbara for analysis, but to date no explanation has been found for this product's sudden and extreme malfunction. As advertised by Defendant, this product is simplicity itself: two wood-and-metal sandals, each attached to milled-steel springs of high tensile strength and compressed in a tightly coiled position by a cocking device with a lanyard release. Mr. Coyote believed that this product would enable him to pounce upon his prey in the initial moments of his chase, when swift reflexes are at a premium.
To increase the shoes' thrusting power still further, Mr. Coyote affixed them by their bottoms to the side of a large boulder. Adjacent to the boulder was a path which Mr. Coyote's prey was known to frequent. Mr. Coyote put his hind feet in the wood-and-metal sandals and crouched in readiness, his right forepaw holding firmly to the lanyard release. Within a short time Mr. Coyote's prey did indeed appear on the path coming toward him. Unsuspecting, the prey stopped near Mr. Coyote, well within range of the springs at full extension. Mr. Coyote gauged the distance with care and proceeded to pull the lanyard release.
At this point, Defendant's product should have thrust Mr. Coyote forward and away from the boulder. Instead, for reasons yet unknown, the Acme Spring-Powered Shoes thrust the boulder away from Mr. Coyote. As the intended prey looked on unharmed, Mr. Coyote hung suspended in air. Then the twin springs recoiled, bringing Mr. Coyote to a violent feet-first collision with the boulder, the full weight of his head of forequarters falling upon his lower extremities.
The force of this impact then caused the springs to rebound, whereupon Mr. Coyote was thrust skyward. A second recoil and collision followed. The boulder, meanwhile, which was roughly ovoid in shape, had begun to bounce down a hillside, the coiling and recoiling of the springs adding to its velocity. At each bounce, Mr. Coyote came into contact with the boulder, or the boulder came into contact with Mr. Coyote, or both came into contact with the ground. As the grade was a long one, this process continued for some time.
The sequence of collisions resulted in systemic physical damage to Mr. Coyote, viz., flattening of the cranium, sideways displacement of the tongue, reduction of length of legs and upper body, and compression of vertebrae from base of tail to head. Repetition of blows along a vertical axis produced a series of regular horizontal folds in Mr. Coyote's body tissues---a rare and painful condition which caused Mr. Coyote to expand upward and contract downward alternately as he walked, and to emit an off-key, accordion-like wheezing with every step. The distracting and embarrassing nature of this symptom has been a major impediment to Mr. Coyote's pursuit of a normal social life.

the following press release was issued by stanford hc johnny dawkins:
"i would like to thank ad muir for his transparent & much appreciated support of my current employment as the head basketball coach of stanford university"
"as for the decision to move our preseason games to south park hs to better reflect demand for stanford basketball tickets, i'm proud to be associated with this move and appreciate the tangible support from our new fans stan, kyle, eric, kenny and butters...we are growing stanford bb in a very methodical way, one real fan at a time"
"but make no mistake about, i'm a realist too...with a 39-51 pac 12 record it's pretty obvious to me that i'm being clownpunked by opposing pac 12 head coaches on almost a nightly basis"
"therefore, change must happen...instead of my current 30 second humiliating one sided speeches at centercourt that i do after every substitution, i'm going to increase the length of these orations to a full minute...while some of you have communicated to me that these public whippings seem rather taliban like with the dazed players silently stewing with dead eyes and mechancially shaking their heads in agreement with me, i feel strongly that these interactions not only improve their basketball skills but also prepare our student athletes for marriage"
"stanford fans, i am also pleased to announce that i 100% guarantee that our stanford basketball program will be going to the ncaa tournament this year!"
"in fact, i have already completed a contractual rental agreement for the usage of several buses from south park hs to transport our coaches, players & staff to watch this year's western regionals!"
"go cardinals!"

is tw interested in going away to college or does he want to stay home in la?
can tw envision his potential role in alford's 5 wild wings offense with no pg?
in watching ucla's practices, does he really think bryce alford is a legit d1 pg?
do the ucla players truly like each other in the same way that the cal bb players have bonded with one another as a family?
how deep is tw's trust & respect for gregg gottlieb, the 1st coach from a bigtime program to offer & encourage his continued development?
how important is monty's track record of developing big men with his 2 post offensive scheme that is run thru the bigs?
is it acceptable to the welsh family that it is a documented fact that alford protected/enabled a convicted rapist in order to win a few more games and then offered an insincere forced apology (as required by a besieged ucla ad) more than a decade later?
is tw comfortable that cal bb's coaching staff will be in good hands, travis decuire most likely, should monty step down sometime in the future? (it should be noted that montgomery has never indicated any indication he plans to retire, that myth is perpetuated by competing coaches that have been repeatedly clownpunked by monty's xxx's & ooo's)
does thomas really want to study economics (ucla & stanford do not offer an undergraduate biz major) or does he want to potentially earn his degree at the #2 nationally ranked haas business school thereby saving him the expense & time of completing a cal, stanford or ivy league mba program down the road?

the following press release was issued by the stanford ad bernard muir:
"after considerable analysis in conjunction with the stanford economic department (we do not have an undergraduate business major) it is clear after reviewing supply (an overabundance of empty seats) vs demand (declining) that the men's basketball team's home game revenues are not being optimized at this point"
"therefore effective immediately all preseason stanford basketball games will be played at south park hs (seating capacity 392) in an effort to create a cozy, loud home court advantage"
"while it is undeniably true that playing the pac 12 slate at a predominantly empty maples pavilion will create a home court advantage for visiting pac 12 institutions, the fiscal impact and influx of capital generated by predominantly affluent and good looking cal fans cannot be ignored and its signficant impact upon the palo alto economic footprint"
"i would also like to take this opportunity to 100% reaffirm my support for johnny dawkins...there will be no further comment from this office regarding coach dawkins and his contractual employment with this department until the cardinals are once again mathematically eliminated from the ncaa field of 65 teams tournament"

some teams are more fun to watch than others
early indications are that the 2013 golden bears will be one of those special teams that captivate fans
the bears played relentlessly uptempo tonight yet unselfishly (perhaps too much at times) in sharing the ball with their teammates...the staggering 23 assists to only 7 turnovers tells the story
really enjoyed meeting vandalus at the game, he ran track at cal & has some pretty entertaining stories about cal fb & bb players along with also seeing sixto rodriguez of 'searching for sugar man" at the coachella music festival...the cal band playing one of my favorite songs, m83's "midnight city" was a musical highlight
the wbb game with brittney boyd pushing tempo & gennifer brandon returning to the court was exciting as coach gottlieb's squad must also find a solution for the 1st big off the bench if they are to return to the final four
started the day with a 2 hr fog delay in flying from scottsdale to the bay area but still was able to tee it up with sango & coach desimone at peninsula cc (a faithfully restored donald ross design with absolutely treacherous greens on a tight, sloping parcel of land)...coach des told me that his team has the talent & experience to compete again for a national championship (alabama will be the major competition) but that the bears fortunes will be impacted by last season's college golf's #1 ranked player michael kim trying out for 2nd stage pga tour qualifying school later this month
coach des also told me that monty's wife sarah (who plays 4 times a week at orinda cc) is the best golfer in the family
