March 5: Eddy Root, Del Ned, and Dave Ank are all turning pro. No huge surprise and I thought more might go.
Eddy Root is still #2 on the Norton List, and Del Ned is #10.
13-15, 8-8, Iowa in the round of 8. We won by 19, 40.
March 10: 68-47. 18, 10 for Root, Ned had 12, 6, 4, 14, 9 for Flyn. 10, 38.
16-12, 10-6 Evanstown is in. We beat them by 34.
March 11: 92-64. 23, 12 for Root, all the other starters had 13 or 14. 8, 11, 3 for Ward. 6 TOs, 52 RBs.
Sixth place Michigan, 18-12, 8-8 for the title. We won by 28 and 17.
March 12: 88-49. 27, 13 for Root, 14, 5, 6, 8, 8 Kann, 9, 5 for Ward. 10, 46.
We should be #1 overall.
March 12: Here we go. #1 in the East.

19-15 Richmond in the round of 64.
March 16: 72-45. 26, 6, 6 for Ned, 16, 6, 4 for Kann, 6, 17 for Root, 8, 11 for Flyn. 13, 44.
21-10, 9-7 Alabama in the round of 32. Probably stronger inside than out.
March 18: 71-54. It was never close. 24, 8 for Root, 14, 7, 9 for Ned. 11, 38.
#14, 22-8, 11-5 Utah in the Sweet Sixteen. This is a good team but I don’t think they can match our talent level.
We’re 35-0.
March 23: 82-48. 26, 8 for Root, 14, 7, 4 for Ned, 12, 6, 8 for Witt. 8, 42.
We’re just so in control, really at the top of our game.
Del Ned stretched a calf muscle. He’ll play in our next but not at 100%.
#5 ranked, # 2 seed, 27-6, 12-4 Arizona in the round of 8. Their SG, who plays a lotta PG, averages 36.6, so the question is do we try to contain him, or let him go and stop everyone else. We’re figgerin’ it out. We should dominate at every other spot. This could be the toughest opponent left. All the other #1 seeds are gone except North Carolina in the West.
March 25: 79-63. We let the SG get 30 and stopped everybody else. 17, 15 for Root, 21, 6, 4 for Kann, 14, 3, 5 for Witt, who’s playing his best ball of the season, 9, 6, 5 for Ned. 10, 53.
And we’re in the Final Four.
We’ll play #11 ranked, #4 seed CT, and on the other side it’s #6 ranked, #2 seed Georgetown, vs. unranked, #6 seed LSU.
March 16: 72-45. 26, 6, 6 for Ned, 16, 6, 4 for Kann, 6, 17 for Root, 8, 11 for Flyn. 13, 44.
21-10, 9-7 Alabama in the round of 32. Probably stronger inside than out.

We beat UConn by 23 at our place in December. Very balanced attack.
Ned is 100%.
Lucy and the kids are here in Miami. The kids won’t be at the game but I wanted them along. They know all the guys and I thought the trip would be fun. We brought our “not nanny” along. She’ll be part of everything we do and will watch the kids during the game so Lucy can be at them.
April 1: 70-56. They played really well. 14 was our largest lead. For most of the game our lead was between 8-14 but they got it to 4 once and 5 a few times. In the end we were too strong. 21, 6 for Root, 15, 5 for Kann. 12, 34.
Going for our 2nd straight title and my 5th in 6 years.
It’s #6 ranked, #2 seed Georgetown, 31-7, 12-4. We beat them by 43 in December, which I’m hoping my kids will forget. It won’t be that easy. Their PF is their best player and he played 9 min. due to fouls. They’ve won their last 12. We need to stop them inside and turn them over. We are a 12 point favorite, and that worries me as well. Everyone on both sides is healthy.
April 3: 78-65 and another title! This wasn’t as close as the final score but it was close for 34 min. or so. We went on a run at that point and got the lead to 23, and that was that. I got to play everyone, which is always nice in the title game. Real balance, six guys had between 9 and 15.
We will really miss Root and Ned but no surprise that they’re going.
April 4: Awards: Eddy Root was Final Four MOP, Defensive POY, and 1st team all American. Del Ned was 2nd team. I was national Coach of the year.
In conf., Eddy was POY, Freshman POY, Def. POY, 1st team along with Ned, Flyn, Kann. Witt was 2nd team, and I was Coach of the year.
No interest in job offers, no vacancies for assistant coaches.
April 23: I ask for a facilities upgrade. No, but we’re still at A.
My numbers after 9 years: 278-52, .842, 5 national championships.
Off.- 59, Def.- 82, Recruit- 95, Scout- 90, Player Dev.- 73, Reputation- 95.
Team Prestige is 100, Conf. Prestige is 80, Budget- $474.075
Ready for another great season, #10.

May 1: Buying the usual reports.
June 5: We’re looking at a couple of transfers.
June 9: Got one. Tad Yard. 4 ½ to 5 star Soph C.
Finished. We need guards and there aren’t really any here.
June 26: Eddy Root went #3 in the draft and Del Ned #4. Dave Ank, who we red shirted, went #9.
We have 3 to offer. Going for guards. Looking at 7, 4 PG, 3 SG.
Aug. 7: SG Duke Kann is #6 on the Norton List, SF Cam Flyn is #7, PF Mike Chad is #8, PG L. B. Witt #14, PF/C Greg Bray #18.
Aug. 21: We offer to 2 PGs and an SG.
Sept. 11: Home visits.
Sept. 18: Got 2, SG Troy Snow, #5, PG Kris Wall, #19.
We have a schedule. Going to the Hawaiian Shootout. VERY strong schedule.
Sept.25: Got the last one, SG Shep Daniels, #18.
Oct. 2: First day of practice. Pre-season #1 and I think we can live up to it. We’ll play 7 guys and they are all players!
Nov. 2: The Montessori folks brought in a math professor from here at Michigan State to speak with our 5 ½ year old daughter. It seems they spoke for almost two hours. He asked to meet with Lucy and me. In short, Professor Vinson told us Mandy is a math prodigy.
“She ‘sees’ math in ways that only the world’s very top mathematicians see it. She makes intuitive leaps. Obviously she’s too young for some of the most complex types of math but in other ways she sort of already understands all of that stuff. She has the potential to do some incredible things. I’ve had the honor of working with a few math prodigies- never one this young, but some as young as 8 or 9. I said, ‘never one this young.’ I must also say, never one at this high level. I would love the opportunity of working with her. I could come to the school two or three times each week to do that if I have your approval.”
We asked for a little time to think about it and speak about it.
“Of course, but I wonder why you would hesitate.”
“… Professor, Mandy is such a serious child. We worry that she’s missing out on being a little girl. That’s something Lucy and I speak of often.”
“I don’t pretend to be a psychologist but that seems like a separate issue. I respect your feelings about that, and I suppose I’d feel the same way. On the other hand she is who she is. She’s going to hold onto and pursue this fascination with math unless you forbid it so-”
“No, Professor, we would never do that. The worst thing is to try to force a child into something, or to stop the child from being what she is, doing what she wants to do.”
“I’m pleased to hear you say that, Mrs. Jones.”
“Give us just a little time, Professor. I think the idea of speaking with a child psychologist is a good one. Don’t you agree, Mack?”
“I do.”
Lucy did some homework and found Prof. Grace Maltby, again, here at Mich. ST. The Prof. has a wonderful reputation. She’s considered to be at or near the top of her field. We met with her and loved her. She strongly encouraged us to have Mandy pursue the opportunity with Prof. Vinson. She also encouraged us to do a few other things to bring out Mandy’s “kid side.” It was a very helpful meeting. We will have her meet Ray as well.
Nov. 6: Exhibition games. Ready to defend and go for that threepeat!
