This classic line from Mike Epps in the movie How High illustrates the current trend amongst student athletes, the NCAA, and the sports agencies.

In a development that has shocked the sports world, OJ Mayo has been accused of accepting money and gifts, thus violating NCAA rules.

According to an Outside the Lines report, former Mayo "associate" Louis Johnson has blew the whistle (snitched, if you will), on the "alleged" operation between BDA Sports Management (who's roster includes Melo, Steve Nash, and Yao) and a person "representing" Mayo by the name of Rodney Guillory.

Yes, Louis Johnson was guilty of some of this too. He had a falling out with Guillory (i.e. Guillory was getting too greedy with the money he was getting and not wanting to share), which led him to be ESPN's source for most of the investigation.

If this is true (my warning for those crabs who always say BSO is quick to place guilt upon people) , it is not fair to blame Mayo for everything that has happened.

A new Hall of Fame class was announced this week. The NBA notables are Patrick Ewing, Hakeem Olajuwon, and Adrian Dantley. Ewing and Hakeen both had stellar careers at the college and pro levels, going to a combined six NCAA Final Fours and three NBA Finals (four if you count the Knicks trip in 1999 that Ewing missed due to injury). They were among the best centers in the league for most of their careers, and both have to be considered among the top dozen or so centers in NBA history. It was their first time on the ballot, and they both deserved to get in immediately.

Dantley taking this long to get in is an outrage; he is as much of a no-brainer as Ewing and Hakeem. Yet, it took him eight tries to finally get voted in. That is an absolute joke; Dantley had a stellar career at both levels and could have gotten in on the strength of either his college or pro career. Yet he was shut out for this long. Here's how good Dantley was:

College numbers: 25.8 points on 56 percent shooting and 9.8 rebounds per game in three seasons. Averaged 30.4 points and 10.2 rebounds in his second year at Notre Dame.

Pro numbers: career averages of 24.3 points and 5.7 rebounds over 15 seasons, along 21.3 points and 5.4 rebounds in six postseason appearances. Averaged over 25 points per game in seven different seasons, and 30 points per game four different times. Shot over 50 percent from the floor in 12 of his 15 seasons, and made the All-Star team six times. Finished in the top three in scoring average five different times, and won the scoring title twice.

Now how on earth can you exclude someone with those credentials from the Hall of Fame? Politics, maybe? That's got to be it, because there is no legitimate reason to have disqualified him. Yes, he never won a ring, but neither did a lot of other people. So what! Now, I'm sure that the voters who didn't want to pick him until now will have some stupid justification. Whatever! At least they got it right, finally. Congrats, AD! It's long overdue.

Before I even speak on anything here are the raw numbers:

• Pat Summit has been the coach of the University of Tennessee for 34 years.
• 18 Final Four Appearances
• 8 NCAA Championships
• 14 SEC Championships
• 7 time NCAA Coach of the Year
• 983 Wins
.
The crazy thing is she is only 55 years old. It is feasible that he can coach for another 20 years. Just image what type of numbers she will leave the game with. John Wooden had a great decade; Summit has had three great decades. Dean Smith and Bobby Knight won a lot of games but they can't boast to never missing a Sweet 16 ever!!!

The closest coach to compare her to in the current men's game is Coach K and, while his resume is impressive, he has only three titles and only one since 1992.

The common response from the biased mainstream media is to discredit Summit for coaching in the women's game. That is foolish talk. I don't see any one else in Women's Basketball putting up the numbers she has. I honestly believe she could step in and take over a Men's team and win a National Championship. She is that good a coach and it is about time she is recognized as the one of the greatest, if not the greatest, collegiate basketball coach of all time.

In the end, Memphis missing their free throws didn't just cost Memphis a chance at the National Championship but also cost our own Amber Fox a chance to win the BSO March Madness Pool. In the end, long time BSO reader Jason Ward makes an incredible comeback to the take the title and the bragging rights.

"Any commentator talking about our free throw shooting doesn't know anything about basketball"

Memphis Coach John Calipari.

One thing about making defiant quotes is you better be 100% sure you know what you are talking about because, if you are proven wrong, people will be reminding you for the rest of your life. John Calipari would tell anyone who would listen the entire year that people didn't know what they were talking about when they said that Memphis free- throw shooting would at some point bite them in the ass. To be honest he looked prophetic during the tournament when his team was sinking free throws like they were possessed by Steve Kerr. He smirked and chastised any and everyone who commented that it is easy to make free throws when you are up by 20 but asked what would happened in a close game?

Then it happened and it happened in the most important game of the year with everything on the line (no pun intended). Memphis on the verge of winning the National Championship with their best two players shooting a total of five free throws. If they make two out of five they are champions.

Funny thing though, they only hit one. One out of five. Chris Douglas Roberts and Derrick Rose, hopefully, will be great pros, but similar to Chris Webber, there will always be that chapter when speaking on their careers. They will be remembered as the guys who choked away the Championship from the free throw line.

Mario Chalmers=Serial Killer nothing else to say about that.

Kansas played beautifully. They pounded it inside all night and simply killed Memphis. Brandon Rush did disappear offensively for stretches, but defensively he played his heart out against both Rose and Roberts. Being down 9 points with 2 minutes to go, they could have given up. But they kept fighting, kept clawing, kept coming and, to be honest, of the full 45 minutes of this game, they were the best team.

Definitely a game that will be remembered for a very long time! One that I will remember more for Memphis blowing the game than Kansas winning the game. But this should be a lesson for all those kids out there just practicing 3-pointers and dunks. Take a little more time at the foul line because you never know when it will be you on that line with a chance to win the game for your team. You don't have to be a basketball expert to know that.

The national championship game will be a contest against two great teams. Memphis and Kansas deserve to play Monday night. By the way, I'm picking Memphis. I expect the game to be a back and forth battle with with Calipari and crew having enough gas in the tank to defeat Kansas, even though Kansas played some of the best defense I have seen in the tourney in a minute.

My pick to win it all, as they have been since I was like 7, was the North Carolina Tar Heels. But, as we saw on Saturday night, the Tarheels got drilled/drugged/murked/beat down/(insert local slang here). That wont be happening this year. As I was driving through Atlanta traffic, dejected after the loss, my fanhood challenged me to figure out what happened.

One more reason I'm not a handicapper!

Seriously, if you ever see my name in an ad for an 800-betting-advice-number, call the FCC to report me for fraud. In every tournament bracket I filled out, I had Georgetown in the Final Four, Memphis losing early, and UNC vs. UCLA in the title game. Wrong, wrong, and wrong!

My only excuse is that I watch so much NBA that I didn't really check out much college ball until the conference tournaments. So I believed the bad hype on Memphis, drank the UNC/UCLA Kool-Aid, and made a homer-pick with the Hoyas. If I ever get into the sports betting business, take all my picks and go the other way. You'll be able to retire in a year! Now all that being said....

Memphis will win it!

There's no stopping those guys right now. They're running everyone out of the building, and I don't see anything from Kansas that suggests they'll be able to shut them down, either. If I had the first pick in the draft, I'd take Derrick Rose, even ahead of Beasley. The man is phenomenal.

No more NFL please!

Can we please allow the NFL to go away until the draft, and then stay away until training camp opens up? I love football as much as the next guy, but this is overkill. I don't need entire segments of sports radio taken up by speculation about possible trades or signings, draft pick talk, and lamenting about the Bengals legal troubles (unless you're pointing out just how much more criminality there is in the NFL as opposed to the NBA).

It is April, and we have real games/races to talk about in the NBA, March Madness, MLB, NHL and NASCAR. I don't need to hear whether or not the Dolphins are going to trade the first pick. It's not like anything they do in the draft is going to take them from 1-5 to the Super Bowl.

I admit it! I was wrong about Memphis. I guaranteed they wouldn't make it to the Final Four. I told you to mark the tape and, when I tell you to mark the tape, I am 99% sure of my prediction. I thought they would lose to Michigan State. They were up 50-20 at the half. I thought they would lose to Texas. They embarrassed the Longhorns in Houston no less.

They made it to the Final Four and I still wouldn't believe. My bracket from the beginning had UCLA winning the title and, unlike most sports media personalities, I am not a hypocrite or a flip-flopper. So, I put together "5 Reasons" UCLA would win the title. However, by my standards, the "5 Reasons" were admittedly weak. But I still had hope. Unfortunately UCLA was never in the game and Kevin "Justin Timberlake" Love became a poster (see video below).

So to all the Memphis fans, I have seen the error of my ways and I apologize for thinking your team that coasted through Conference USA, and shot free throws like Ben Wallace doing the regular season would slip up in the tournament. Obviously, I wasn't paying close enough attention to see this is a team that has the best athletes in the country playing on the floor.

This team can lock you down on defense and run you to death on offense. Derrick Rose already looks like a NBA Star. Chris Douglas Roberts aka CDR is a fearlessly passionate player. I'm sure every North Carolina fan wishes he played on their team. Joey Dorsey simply embarrassed Kevin Love and many UCLA guards who dared to drive to the hoop. It has been a long time since I have seen a team go through the tournament so dominantly.

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Fool me four times; well, lets just say I'm no fool.

Memphis 70

Thursday March 27th

• Xavier is a very resilient team. After they blew that 18 point lead to West Va there were so many times that I thought to myself the Mountaineers got this game in hand. Every time Xavier came back and finally West Va just wilted under the pressure. Xavier is a legit threat to be in the Final Four.
