UCLA fired Steve Alford on Monday, Dec. 31, 2018. Ninety-seven days later, they still don’t have a head coach. Last week, it appeared Jamie Dixon would end a long process that saw a pitiful offer to John Calipari and whiffs on several other big names. Nope, Dixon is out.

Second, the FBI is visiting Baton Rouge to investigate Wade’s alleged recruiting violations (i.e. "strong-ass offer"). And third, federal prosecutors don’t want the defense to call college coaches like Wade and Sean Miller.

Long Shot

Thoughts on Long Shot, the movie with Charlize Theron and Seth Rogen set to hit theaters in early May? There’s a new trailer, and I think it’s worth a little attention:
