I checked out games from about 9:45 a.m. to 10 p.m. in the Reebok- and adidas-sponsored high school hoops tournaments in and about (Henderson) Las Vegas today.

You name 'em, I pretty much saw 'em today when in comes to high profile college basketball coaches, including Ben Howland, Tim Floyd, Roy Williams, Billy Donovan, Lute Olson, Bill Self and John Calipari.

If you're scratching your head as to the schools those gentlemen coach for, you're not much of a college basketball fan, are you?

As for the best individual performances, the names that come immediately to mind are guards Brandon Knight and Kenny Boynton (Team Breakdown of Florida), John Henson (Franchize All-Stars of Texas) and John Wall (D-One All-Stars of North Carolina).

Check out my detailed story in Wednesday's Press-Telegram. As for now, time to get something to eat with my buddy Joel Francisco.
