And I'm playing with the things here.

We're having fun on a Wednesday, February 25th.

Greg, you put a column on the board,

or you put a post on the Inside Carolina Premium Basketball

message board about ACC Coach of the Year.

And I find it an interesting discussion that we're going to have today, but just as we were

just talking off the air, there's so many names that if you don't follow it closely, you don't

know who they are.

And that's such a

difference in the ACC over the last several years when you had just some of the icons of the

sport and now you have up-and-comers sort of trying to make names for themselves. An interesting

discussion on that point before we get into the coach of the year, just the new blood in the ACC is looking

like it could be impressive. I agree with you, Tommy. And one of the things that we've talked about

for the last couple years is how the quality of ACC play had diminished. Now, part of that is

because you're adding so many teams with 18 teams,

I mean, you're bound to have some bad teams and that ultimately brings down or can bring

down the conference at large. Last year was a great example. I mean, it was really Duke and

everybody else. And because of that, we saw the fewest number of teams that the ACC got in in a long time.
