Five prospects who raised their profiles during college basketball’s July recruiting period
When college basketball’s summer recruiting period ended, it was obvious no player had done more to help himself than Chicago’s Anthony Davis.

Arizona’s rebuilding faces another hurdle, but this one not as steep
Thursday, August 12, 2010
The area near the Arizona campus can be a lovely and appealing place to visit or reside, but it’s of little use to a coach searching for major-college basketball players.
Violations from the Lute Olsen era will make Arizona’s rebuilding job a little more difficult.
Sean Elliott came from Tucson. He is one of the great [...]
Brad Beal learning hard lessons along the way
Monday, July 26, 2010
ORLANDO — A team trailing by seven points in the final three minutes of a basketball game could do a lot worse than to turn loose Brad Beal and invite him to lead a comeback with a barrage of 3-point jumpers.

Monday, June 28, 2010
1. James McAdoo won’t enroll early at UNC — is that a good thing in the big picture?
DeCourcy: I think it’s a good thing for James. It was a tough decision to make, and he seems at peace now.
I spoke to him Wednesday by telephone; he is in San Antonio in training camp with [...]
Teams that pass on Cousins in draft will regret it
Monday, June 28, 2010
Sometime early in the NBA draft, sometime after the Washington Wizards make the obviously proper decision and choose Kentucky point guard John Wall with the initial pick, a group of basketball lifers seated comfortably around a conference table is going to discuss selecting big DeMarcus Cousins and come to this conclusion:
No. Too risky.

Legacy outweighs money in Izzo’s decision to stay in college
Saturday, June 19, 2010
It would be terribly difficult to find a college basketball coach who genuinely dislikes Tom Izzo, but not all that hard to find a few who would have loved to see him gone for good.
Tom Izzo turned down the NBA for the college game, probably for the last time.

Thursday, June 10, 2010
Sporting News college basketball columnist Mike DeCourcy addresses five topics currently in his sport’s headlines.
1. Kansas basketball in the Mountain West — is that the biggest crime that likely will result from this expected nationwide conference realignment?

Media revels in bashing of John Calipari
Thursday, June 3, 2010
Life would not be serene in the NBA. It’s obvious even flawed stars have more authority than all but the very best coaches. Most coaches must answer to both an owner and a general manager. And, honestly, John Calipari wouldn’t be able to escape the media if he were to accept a job coaching junior [...]
