NBA: Brown Is The Latest in a Long Line of Basketball Geniuses
Philadelphia Daily News/By Rich Hofman
The lineage has always fascinated me. I
wrote about it in 1999, during one
particular blowup between Larry Brown
and Allen Iverson, and I'm writing
about it again today. I can't help it. If
you were in that hotel ballroom
yesterday, when Brown received the
NBA Coach of the Year award along
with a special surprise, you'll
understand why...

NBA: Carter Should Be Applauded For Graduating
ESPN.com/By Adrian Wojnarowski
PHILADELPHIA -- When it was over, there was a sad, strange smile on Vince Carter's
face, a final, failed flick of his wrist bringing with it the resignation of summer vacation.
This was the final act of a magnificent Toronto-Philadelphia series, one shot, one
moment with millions preparing to play judge, jury and executioner missing the virtue
of a most virtuous act...
NBA: Graduation Vinsanity
ESPN.com/By Dan Patrick
Well, the worst thing you can say about Vince Carter is that he flunked diplomacy. In his desire to attend his college graduation and play in the seventh game of the Eastern Conference semifinals, he set himself up to be criticized. No matter how it turned out, there were going to be whispers. He was not going to please everybody. And that's fine, because he wasn't looking to please anyone in the first place...

NBA: Carter Dunks Degree, Jets To Game
Raleigh News & Observer/By Barry Svrluga
Michelle Carter's head was turned, poised, a big pink hat
perched atop her head, a bright pink suit shielding her
body from an occasional raindrop. No controversy for her
right then. Just a mother, one of many mothers seated in
Kenan Stadium's Section 120 on Sunday morning,
waiting for her baby to appear, cap and gown and all,
and graduate from the University of North Carolina...

NBA: High Degree of Difficulty Here
Boston Globe/By Dan Shaughnessy
Vince Carter. Hero. His season is over. He missed the last shot of the
game, the last shot of the year, the shot that would have won it.
He clanged one off the iron at the buzzer. But he's still a hero...
NBA: Brown Lauds Carter
Toronto Sun/By Bill Harris
PHILADELPHIA -- How could Larry Brown feel anything but joy?...

NBA: Looking Back With Brad Daugherty
Durham Herald-Sun/By Frank Dascenzo
The truth is Brad Daugherty always seemed so young. So very young.
In 1983, he donned a North Carolina basketball uniform and started for the defending NCAA champion Tar Heels at the tender age of 16. No kidding -- 16. Four seasons later, Cleveland made him the No. 1 pick in the 1986 NBA Draft and, at 20, Daugherty was wearing a jersey with Cavaliers across the chest. So young.

MBB: Diploma Will Be Carter's Top Prize
The Washington Times/By John N. Mitchell
Vince Carter really wants Toronto to wrap up the

has another motive: He doesn't want to miss graduation...

When it comes to the annual ACC Baseball Tournament, scheduled to begin today in Fort
Mill, S.C., Coach George Greer of Wake Forest knows that, realistically, his Deacons can't

NBA: True-Blue Buck
Raleigh News & Observer/By Viv Bernstein

exams. Turn pro. And so it was. Forte, North
