Hey, there's Greg Paulus!

The Duke coaching tree -- which is composed entirely of former Mike Krzyzewski players and assistant coaches -- hasn't fared well recent years. Quin Snyder was once the posterboy, but that took a drastic turn for the worse. Tommy Amaker never got Michigan on track. Jeff Capel appeared ascendant at Oklahoma -- Blake Griffin was really good --�only to resign and return to Duke amidst the wreckage of two ugly seasons and an ongoing NCAA investigation into the program. At this point, Mike Brey is the most successful branch on the Coach K oak, and none have come anywhere close to their mentor's success at the collegiate levels.

Alas, coaching hope springs eternal in the careers of young men. And yes, I'm talking about Greg Paulus, the 2009 Duke graduate, point guard and former Syracuse quarterback, who entertained dreams of a career in professional football before returning to the college game as an assistant coach at Navy last August. After a year coaching up the Midshipmen, Paulus has taken a new gig: video coordinator for the Ohio State men's basketball team.

Paulus isn't exactly in line to take over at a high-major program anytime soon, but at 24, the former point guard is already making a sturdy climb up the college coaching ranks. So, hey, maybe Paulus is the next great member of the Duke coaching tree? There's a long way to go before Brey status becomes reachable, but the mantle is always up for grabs.

Has the BMW 6 Series Gran Coupe been revealed?


Last year, at the Beijing Auto Show, BMW unveiled the Gran Coupe concept, an elegant 4-door vehicle that previewed the company?s future Mercedes-Benz CLS competitor. Shortly after, the company announced it would be followed by a production version sometime in the first quarter of 2012. Now, a series of patent images have been revealed that illustrate what the production version may look like. Yes, you guessed it, it’s actually very similar to the concept.

The new BMW 6-Series Gran Coupe will be placed between the current 5 and 7-Series and will keep some of the features that made the concept so attractive at the Beijing Auto Show earlier this year, including the frameless windows and B-pillar. We expect to see the same range of turbocharged six- and eight-cylinder engines, but an ActiveHybrid is also in the works.

If these rumors are correct, we should expect a production version at the beginning of 2012, most likely at the Geneva Motor Show.

BMW M3 GTRS3 Candy Cane by Vorsteiner


We have seen lots of tuning updates for the BMW M3, but this is without a doubt the sweetest interpretation of the sports car. Tuning firm, Vorsteiner, threw a little sugar on the M3 and calls it the "GTRS3 Candy Cane" because of its pure white exterior combined with striking red elements, including red side mirrors, wheels, bits of the bonnet, and the BMW logo. It’s not every day we see a red BMW logo, but we think the company will forgive the color swapping for this ride.

Adding to the exterior look of the M3 is the new aerodynamic package. Vorsteiner strapped on a carbon fiber wide body conversion, a vented carbon fiber race hood, and a VRS carbon fiber boot lid. The lightweight titanium exhaust system and the new set of red V-309 Forged 5 Spoke wheels size 20" combined with Michelin PS2 Sport Tires 285/25/20 325/25/20 complete the look. A KW V3 EDC Coil over suspension system was also thrown in to absorb the bumps through CandyLand.

As for the engine, Vorsteiner has created two different stages to boost power, but specifics have yet to be revealed. What we do know is that Stage II is ready to pump out up to 620 HP, which is a good 200 HP over the standard version.

Charge circle becomes official

The move to a restricted area in college hoops has been in the works for years. Infamously, two years ago, the NCAA decided that an invisible restricted area under the rim -- something the referees would simply have to establish and police themselves -- was the best way to alleviate collisions and difficult block-charge calls near the goal. This was silly, of course, but because the NCAA didn't think member institutions had enough time to apply a simple semicircle of paint on their floors -- I'm still not sure why -- the creation of a real, actual NBA-style semicircle was delayed.

No more. This week, the NCAA Playing Rules Oversight Panel approved the implementation of a restricted area semicircle in Division I men's and women's hoops. Imaginations no longer required.

Divisions II and III will make the same change in 2012-13, apparently because those schools need more time to "plan and place the restricted-area arc in their home arenas." (Again, how hard is it to draw a semicircle in paint? Is it a money thing? Can someone explain this to me? I remain confused.) But the point is the rule is changing, the arc is going to be three feet in diameter, the low-post collision rate should drop and the game should open up as a result.

More than anything, though, referees tasked with making one of the toughest calls in all of sports -- the split-second block-charge -- will now have another tool for doing so. This is a good thing.

Meanwhile, the women's 3-point line is backing up a foot to 20 feet, nine inches, the same length as the current men's line, which was similarly extended a few years back. You may not care about that, but the data formed during the rules committee's research on the change is actually kind of interesting:
Last season, the committee asked teams to track the number of 3-point field goal attempts taken behind the 20-foot, 9-inch line and the current 19-foot, 9-inch line during exhibition games and 40-minute game-like scrimmages.

Data from 194 institutions (100 in Division I, 57 in Division II and 34 in Division III) showed that most of the attempts and makes came from behind the 20-foot, 9-inch line.

Of the shots tracked, teams were 1,046 of 3,203 (33 percent) from behind the 20-foot, 9-inch line. The data also revealed that teams were 546 for 1,823 (30 percent) between 19 feet, 9 inches and 20 feet, 9 inches.

It'd be fascinating to see similar data on the men's game. How does 3-point distance affect certain teams and certain shooters? Or does it matter at all? What have the changes in the men's game done since 2008? What would further lengthening do?

Bored statistics majors, unite: You have been called to action. Cancel your Memorial Day plans. I expect a report first thing Tuesday morning.

But place a Formula One race car on a wide-open track-say, Turkey's Istanbul Park, for example-and it doesn't look or feel like it's going nearly as fast as the same car does along the tight, winding streets of Monte Carlo.

  • Laker trainer Gary Vitti tells Lakers.com's Mike Trudell about Kobe Bryant's right knee, which sounds like it's due for a busy offseason: "His is an articulating cartilage problem. The way I describe that to people is that if you look at the end of chicken bone where it’s nice and white, well, that’s not bone, it’s cartilage. Sort of like a Teflon surface that when two bones come together, that cartilage is there so that bones don’t rub on each other. Now, the fact that it’s nice and white tells you it doesn’t have a good blood flow to it, and that means it cannot heal or regenerate. So, over time, as that cartilage wears away, you end up with osteoarthritis. Kobe doesn’t have an arthritic knee, but he has a knee that has some joint degeneration to it. His issues and his age are such that it eliminates some procedures, like microfracture and that type of things. But he is a candidate for certain other things, and we know all the procedures all around the world that are available to him, and the appropriate decisions will be made, he’ll have the best care."
  • Convincing evidence that coaching matters more on defense than offense (Insider).
  • The Rockets have reportedly offered their head coaching position to Kevin McHale. One factor: those who played for him as the Timberwolves' coach generally rave.
  • Good call. Zach Lowe of the Point Forward on the Mavericks guarding the Heat:� "This might be the moment they finally miss Caron Butler."
  • Russ Bengtson: "It’s not a hard and fast rule or anything, but if the best photo of you they can find for your basketball card is you getting boxed out, you’re probably not going to have a very long NBA career. Happy birthday, Stuart Gray."
  • Locked out NBA players could be kept from their national teams because of insurance blah blah blah. Players want to play and fans want to watch. Selfish of NBA owners to shut that down to protect their investments. 'Cause they're not investments, they're humans and ... basketball players.� As if, you know, playing basketball is something you could reasonably expect a basketball player not to do -- while you're not paying him, no less.
  • The Chris Bosh vs. Carlos Boozer matchup mattered.
  • Vegas says Heat, but Monte Carlo says Mavericks.
  • Ted Leonsis remembers his first job. I appreciate the line of conversation, but it has just a hint of walking uphill both ways to school.
  • Jason Terry's tattoo is really glad the Mavericks made the Finals.
  • Derrick Rose is a special dude. Honestly, just hats off to that guy. He spews love of the game, love of his team, and doing things the right way with just about every breath. Classy. We're lucky that we'll be watching him for a long time.
  • On HoopSpeak, Ethan Sherwood Strauss does not believe in giving Bulls fans some time to grieve, and is serving up a quick and pointed post-mortem: "Despite all the bricks, turnovers and crunch time gaffes, Rose was failing correctly. He was screwing up actively, dominating the ball. We tend to respect the guy who takes shots and D-Rose lobbed an average of 24 of them. Of course, all that chucking compounds the '35 percent from the field' issue. The superstar might well have better helped his team as a passive 'role player,' only shooting when absolutely necessary. But I wonder: Would media members be making excuses for Rose had he hurt his team less by taking far fewer shots? Or would they rip him for not 'going down swinging'? A year ago, LeBron James suffered an infamous failure versus the Boston Celtics. His 'Game 5' was a tepid 14 field goal attempt, 15 point absence of a performance. Though James added seven assists and six rebounds, his passivity stoked outrage. Though James had a much better series than Derrick Rose just had, we won’t remember it that way. He failed incorrectly, leading to a dreaded 'quitter' tag. I wonder, would James have been judged less severely had he taken 30 shot attempts in that blowout?"
  • The Thunder's ten-best 2011 playoff moments.
  • A strong case that, for the sake of his reputation, Mike Brown would have been better off taking the Warriors job. I get the argument, and think it makes all kinds of sense, but to me the bigger point is that if your thing is coaching in the NBA, coaching the Lakers is a good gig. The risks are intensified, but in this job, you live for that, right?
  • High payroll teams make the Finals.
  • What the Bulls should have done in crunch time, in video.
  • Matt McHale of Bulls by the Horns: "Seven seconds later, LeBron tied the game with a step-back 3. It was contested. It was -- to be completely fair and honest -- a bad shot. But it went in. This is where I point out that Miami started 3-for-12 from downtown … then James and Wade went 3-for-3 from beyond the arc in less than a minute."

  • Before going any further, read all of this brilliant post by Rob Mahoney on the Mavericks' locker room following Game 5: "Nothing has changed…in a sense. Dallas believes in their championship hopes as much now as they did on Media Day. Yet to ignore the fundamental difference in the atmosphere both on the floor and within the belly of the American Airlines Center is foolish. There is a discernible difference, even if it exists most obviously in the cosmetics of media prevalence. The players don’t just talk of big games, but have lived them. We all dispense of hypotheticals, because in a most improbable scenario, the Dallas Mavericks are the first team in the NBA Finals. Things aren’t the same. They can’t be, and never will be again. There is a fundamental difference between today and yesterday, between the playoffs and the regular season, between this Mavericks team and the one we saw over 82 games. It may not be drastic, but this is more than just a step in a process for those same Mavs that started the season so full of hope."
  • In case you were wondering, Shawn Bradley is a part-time cowboy at a livestock ranch.
  • As always, Kevin Arnovitz and Tom Haberstroh provide a must-read 5 things to watch in Game 5. Chief among them: What's up with Wade?
  • New, potentially heartening information on Sacramento's stadium crisis (via Sactown Royalty)
  • Tom Thibodeau says the Bulls are keeping their focus on the little things facing a big hole against Miami: "All you can think about is this game. That's it. First quarter, that's all we're thinking about. Be ready to play. And then the next step will be the second quarter. That's all I want our guys thinking about."
  • John Krolik on the mercurial play of Mario Chalmers: "Here's the thing: For all his flaws, the Heat need Chalmers, both in the short term and the long term. His nearly flawless performances off the bench in Games 3 and 4 were key to the team's victories. And if the Heat want to get the five additional wins they need for a title, they will need Chalmers' active defense, his physicality, his outside shooting, his ability to create off the dribble and his fearlessness, even if some crazy mistakes accompany those attributes."
  • Don't expect to Dallas to be blown out by either of its potential opponents.
  • Translating Andrea Bargnani's translated quotation about wanting to leave Toronto
  • Jason Friedman on the Mavs' super-clutch crunchtime offense: "When the going gets tough, Dirk does not become a black hole but rather the sun of the Mavs’ magnificent solar system." Extending the metaphor: if Dirk implodes in the Finals, the Mavericks' solar system would be in big trouble.
  • Believe it or not, there's a whole series of great posts devoted to the New Jersey Nets' greatest playoff moments.
  • After playing so well for almost the entire game, The Thunder's lack of hustle and execution sealed their fate.
  • After 2007 the Mavericks were to be forgotten. This was the Thunder or Lakers' year, until it wasn't. The awkward but compelling narrative of Nowitzki and the Mavericks.

Aston Martin Rapide S


The spy photographers are out again and they’ve caught a special Aston Martin Rapide testing at the Nurburgring. Initial rumors on this vehicle suggested it was a facelift version of the luxury sedan, but it seems the news is even better. The company is preparing an even more powerful version of the Rapide that will drop the current 470 HP 6.0 Liter V12 in favor of the engine used in the DBS. This means we will get 40 HP more with the new S version. With the new 510 HP, the Rapide S will sprint faster than the current model which does the 0 to 60 mph sprint in 5.1 seconds.

Next to the engine improvement, the Rapide S will feature an even more aggressive front and rear fascia, a lower front bumper with an additional air intake and deep scoops, a more prominent boot lip spoiler and a reprofiled bumper.

The new Aston Martin Rapide S will go on sale in late 2012 and will be priced at about �200,000 or about $325,000 at the current exchange rates.

NC State guard will end up at Kentucky

When NC State coach Mark Gottfried and former freshman point guard Ryan Harrow announced their "mutual" decision to part ways through a transfer, the decision was analyzed largely from the school's side. Losing one of the best players from Sidney Lowe's best recruiting class? Just another challenge for the new Wolfpack coach to overcome. The coach recovered well in recent weeks, landing a commitment North Carolina native Torian Graham, the No. 45-ranked player in the class of 2012, and one Gottfried hopes will lead to further recruiting successes in the months to come.

But what about Harrow? Where would the point guard's new, wide-open future take him? Turns out, Kentucky.

According to the Associated Press, Harrow announced his decision via Twitter Thursday, writing "I am a Kentucky Wildcat!"

It's a big get for Kentucky, akin to landing a high-profile point guard recruit for the class of 2012. Harrow will have to sit a year before he'll be eligible to play, per NCAA transfer rules, but when he does get on the court he could be the next in a line of successful Kentucky point guards.

Sure, Harrow doesn't come with the same accolades or talent as Derrick Rose, Tyreke Evans, John Wall, Brandon Knight and 2011's promising Wildcat-to-be Marquis Teague. But he was the No. 8-ranked point guard in the class of 2010, and even if Kentucky does land another top-flight guard, Harrow will have the benefit of one year of college hoops experience and three years of college-level weight training and practice regimes. It will be interesting to see what that time -- plus the tutelage of a proven developer of point guards in John Calipari -- will do for Harrow's ability to make an impact at this level.

BMW bringing four models to Frankfurt


BMW is rather busy preparing their lineup for the Frankfurt Motor Show this September. Apparently, they are showing up with no less than four world premiers: the M5, the M3 GTS sedan, the redesigned 1-Series, and the i3. So, if you plan on taking a trip to Germany during that period, you should definitely make a stop in Fankfurt to soak up all of the automotive goodness scheduled to appear.

While the first three models in the line-up are no surprise, the i3 will definitely steal the show. Unfortunately, it will not be a production version, but it will give us a good idea for what to expect in 2013. According to BMW, the i3 will be the world?s first volume-produced vehicle with a passenger cell made from carbon. It will feature an electric motor with an output of about 150 HP and a top speed of 100 mph. It is rumored that the i3 will have an autonomy of 160 miles.

Kevin Durant knows all about how the Oklahoma City Thunder have been tabbed as the NBA's team of the future during a meteoric rise from league laughingstock to title contender. All through this season, he didn't want to think about the prospect of success down the road. He wanted it now. "I think the pieces are here.
