Friday links

Here's more on the next generation of Fluties. Nice touch by TOB to invite Billy's parents up to his office to make the offer. Eagle fans have often wondered how the somewhat charisma challenged O'Brien closes these kids. This confirms my belief -- he's good with parents.

Kenpom shoots holes in the home-court advantage myth. He uses the difference between the ACC and Big East as his springboard into the research. Basically it is tough to beat Duke because of Coach K and the five guys on the floor, not because of the Crazies.

My shilling for EverydayshouldbeSaturday continues with this link. This time they list their ACC All-Name team. Kiwi, Jazzmen and Tribble make the cut.
