top dollar?
-- Bernie Miklasz of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch suggests St. Louis University bring in Anthony Bonner to coach the Billikens' big men. Here's thinking Brad Soderberg could use all the help he could get. Particularly after SLU's top scorer (a contradiction in terms), senior guard Reggie Bryant, decided to leave the team to take care of a family emergency.-- Another nomination for professor of the year: Duke's Stephen Nowicki. Several degrees don't stop Nowicki from playing in the Blue Devils' band and charging the Cameron Indoor floor after home victories.
-- The AP's Tim Dahlberg writes that Andrew Bogut is the year's best kept secret. But Bogut is more the "Awesome Aussie" that the "Big Aussie." Come on, Tim. Get with the program.
-- Ted Miller of the Seattle Post-Intelligencer reports an assistant to Lorenzo Romar at Washington -- maybe former UCLA star Cameron Dollar -- will soon be offered a head coaching gig. Methinks it is a little too early for Dollar to cash in (pun intended) on Romar's success. But Miller makes a persuasive case.
