i don't see it working.
too many egos in the locker room, not enough unselfish players on the court...

Nash doesn't play D. Fercrissakes

GRINNELL, Iowa -- As word spread throughout the Grinnell College campus and around town of what Jack Taylor
was doing Tuesday night, fans began filing into the team's gymnasium on 10th Avenue.

A day after the Grinnell sophomore set an NCAA all-divisions record by scoring 138 points in a game,
Taylor is still attracting attention, not just in town, but throughout the country, and even around the world.

"It kind of felt like I woke up in a different world, almost," Taylor said. "Before the game, I was just a regular
college basketball player. Now I'm getting tweets from NBA players and getting national and international coverage.
It's definitely crazy."

Since 1993, the [Grinnell] Pioneers have employed a frantic, all-out scoring system
that employs a 40-minute full-court press, hockey-like line shifts and rapid shooting,
with the intention of scoring as much and as quickly as possible.

David Arsenault Sr., the offense’s originator, said he wanted his players to take at least
30 more shots than their opponents. His teams have led all playing levels in scoring for
17 of the past 19 seasons, and Grinnell’s 126.2 points per game in 2003-4 ranks second
in history.

Spurs fined $250K for sitting players

Gregg Popovich sent his best players home, deciding they reached the end of the road
before the trip was finished.

For that, and for keeping it a secret, the San Antonio Spurs were fined $250,000 by the
NBA on Friday.

Commissioner David Stern said the Spurs "did a disservice to the league and our fans"
when they didn't bring Tim Duncan, Tony Parker, Manu Ginobili or Danny Green to Miami
for the final game of the six-game trip.

"The result here is dictated by the totality of the facts in this case," Stern said in a
statement. "The Spurs decided to make four of their top players unavailable for an
early-season game that was the team's only regular-season visit to Miami. The team also
did this without informing the Heat, the media, or the league office in a timely way.
Under these circumstances, I have concluded that the Spurs did a disservice to the league
and our fans."

Teams are required to report as soon as they know a player will not travel because of injury.

The league's statement said the Spurs were in violation of league policy reviewed with the
board of governors in April 2010 against resting players in a manner "contrary to the best
interests of the NBA."
