do you eat Nachos when watching sports?
Not really because the cheese and guacamole can drip all over my key board, which won’t be a pretty sight. I do enjoy popcorn, though.

What exactly happens at these Junior Days? Is it just a fancy meet/greet thing with the coaches?
The players meet with the coaching staff, are filled in on the academics of the school and get a campus tour, and a tour of the football facilities.

Whatever happened to Eyoseph Efseaff? This was the lineman from central California who could not play on Sundays due to his religion's tenets but ended his UCLA career getting kicked off the team for showing up drunk for a meeting before one of the Vegas Bowls.
Last I heard he graduated. He hasn’t been around the program, and I asked a few people and they were unsure of his whereabouts.

in the past you've criticized the BB team for its overall lack of "athleticism," something that could stand it the way of banner #12. What exactly do you mean?
To me, it is a lacking in agility when compared to a few of the other elite teams. I believe UCLA has the talent and athleticism to reach the Final Four, but against Memphis and North Carolina and perhaps Texas and Kansas the Bruins don’t have as much physical, naturally-gifted talent.

Rank the top 5 coaches in college basketball, in your opinion.
Yikes, that is hard because I don’t know about some guys at mid-major programs who may be stellar. Also, are you talking about within a game, or running a program? Big different. John Calipari can recruit better than nearly everyone, but I question his ability to match x’s and o’s in a game.
If you’re talking overall program, I will go with Roy Williams, Rick Pitino, Mike Krzyzewski, Billy Donovan and Jim Boeheim.

With R. Westbrook's stock surging this year, do you think he will return to UCLA next year, or do you think he will enter the NBA draft (and keep his name in)?
I think he comes back for another year, unless he has crazy NCAA Tournament. I know Ben Howland wants to play him at point next season, and there is a wide believe that is where Westbrook will play in the NBA, so it makes sense to come back for a year and learn that side of it.

I asked you earlier in the bb season if you thought that RWestrbook had legitimate NBA potential and, at the time you didnt think he was ready. Has your opinion changed?
I still don’t think he’s ready, but being ready andgoing to the NBA are two different things since the NBA drafts more on potential than readiness. He is inconsistent with his jump shot, and that will be a big problem during workouts.

How exactly do the 1-on-1 and 7-on-7 drills work? Do the players just get together somewhere and toss the ball around, following the plays in the playbook, since coaches can't attend? Do they set this up themselves?
They find a spot on campus and run through some plays, which are usually prescribed by the coaching staff. The quarterbacks usually set it up, but it happens a few times a week during the offseason.
