Well, actually, my day will be spend in the Las Vegas suburb of Henderson, where myself and lots and lots of famous college basketball coaches will watch the 11-game schedule during the Grassroots Basketball Organization of America (GBOA . . . naturally) Challenge of Champions at Henderson International School.
Nearly every high-profile college coach -- including Ben Howland (UCLA), Roy Williams (North Carolina), Bill Self (Kansas), Mike Krzyzewski (Duke), Tom Izzo (Michigan State), Jay Wright (Villanova) and John Calipari (Kentucky) -- is expected to be in the building for large portions of the 9 a.m. to (give or take) 11 p.m. schedule.
Traveling teams from the west scheduled to participate are: Inland (vs. Illinois Bobcats/9 a.m.), Team Odom (vs. N.J. Playaz/10:15), Portland's I-5 Elite vs. North Carolina's D1 Sports (2 p.m.), California Supreme vs. D.C. Assault (3:15), Compton Magic vs. SYF Players of Indiana (5:45), Seattle Rotary Select vs. Memphis Magic (7), Belmont Shore vs. Grassroots Canada (8:15).
Be sure to check up my blog updates, as well as my Twitter postings (FrankieBur) and, of, my notebooks in the Press-Telegram (print and on-line versions).
