Buzzer Beaters

With a three day break between Detroit's game seven and game one of the Finals, basketball news is tough to come by. But we dug some stuff up for you.

_ After Breaking Off Talks, Skiles Back with Bulls
Bulls coach Scotty Skiles signed a four year contract extension. No, seriously he did. After breaking off talks with the Bulls, Skils called owner Jerry Riensdorf and they finally got the deal done. While he didn't take the Baby Bulls from worst to first, he did take a team that finished last year with 19 wins into the playoffs this year. GM John Paxton didn't discuss terms, but did say Skiles will be paid in line with the top coaches in the league.

_ Coaches Need to Plan for Early Entry
Mike DeCourcy lays out a four point plan to help college coaches deal with the contingency of a player flying the coup for the greener pasteurs of the NBA.

_ Diogu Hasn't Decided Yet
Arizona State's Ike Diogu hasn't decided chosen to enter the NBA entry draft, but it's not out of the realm of possibilities. He has tried out for several teams, and College Hoops.net has him going 15 to New Jersey. But his stock could be on the rise.

And by the way, this site is going to get a makeover. But as Seth says, It's all about content.
