Bennett in Indianapolis? That’s a load of corn
What you think are those annoying rumors Indianapolis Tony Bennett? Not a chance.
“Last year was even worse,” said Tony’s dad, Dick Bennett. “It was all over the place. It was Iowa, it was Michigan, Minnesota, it was, and then a few others. ‘S So he used to that.”
Indiana could do a lot worse. Bennett, 38, was the national coach of the year in 2006-07 after Wazzu leading to a 26-8 record in his first year. Not only that, he’s got street cred, having put in two-plus seasons playing for the Charlotte Hornets in the early’90s.
“He’s a very good coach now, and he’s getting better with experience,” said Dick Bennett. “Composure is his greatest strength, has always been. Even when he was a little kid and as a player, he just does not rattle. His ability to recruit is also a great strength, and that he’s had to use every ounce of ability to Pullman .
So, if the Hoosiers come calling, Tony would listen?
“I’ll be surprised if they do,” said Bennett. “But one thing I stayed away from what is telling him to do. He talks about some being an assistant at the NBA level. I think he’d be a great assistant because he’s a great teacher….
More fodder for those rumors Bennett in Indianapolis: His sister, Kathy, Indiana coached the women’s team to a Big Ten championships before sustaining a broken neck in a car accident. . . .
A quick look at Bennett’s NBA career, which is only appropriate since it was, well, quick: He made the Hornets’ roster after being selected with the 35th pick in the 1992 draft. In two seasons as a backup point guard, he averaged 3.7 and 3.4 points a game. He played a handful of games the next season before taking his game overseas. . . .
So, anyway, I’m thinking 19 first-half points were what Notre Dame coach Mike Brey had in mind for his 49th birthday present. . . .
The all-Ex-NBA at The team during the Can subregional: Len Elmore, doing color analysis for CBS, at center; Golden Domers Bill Hanzlik and at forward LaPhonso Ellis, and Bennett and former guard at nugget Mo Martin. The coach of this washed-up outfit? Warriors former coach-turned-analyst Mike Montgomery. . . .
But then, Martin all but lives at the Pepsi Center. He’s on the crew switches that out from the playing surfaces hoops to hockey. . . .
How much were going outside for tickets Can The Saturday afternoon? “Five bucks each,” the nice person told me scalper. Five bucks? No, it was not giving people a break because of the economy. In this cop standing a few feet away. . . .
March Madness? You walked away mad, all right, if you wanted to see close games at the Pepsi Center. The average margin of victory was 19.8 points for the first five games.
Then you have the band Wazzu. Or, more specifically, the four dudes in the band who, contrary to rumor, did not cut their hair that way after losing a bet. We are talking with Mohawk Dyed hair that’s supposed to be crimson, one of the school colors. “It started out kind of blond, then went pink, and now it’s this,” said James tuba player Marth. “We call our gamecock it because it’s almost like a rooster’s head.” . . .
Marth and two of his bandmates went with the new look during the Pac-10 Tournament, then it talked into another after arriving in Denver. “It’s a kind of superstition thing now,” he said. “It seems like it’s working, so, from now on, we’ll shave our heads to every game before.” . . .
The happiest in Our Town on this weekend? Dave Keefe would have to be on the short list. Keefe is the proprietor of Brooklyn’s, Tiger Woods a sand wedge from the Pepsi Center Atrium. “We had our biggest ever day on Thursday,” said Keefe. “It was bigger than Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Finals in’01. We are closed tomorrow, and that’s good. We can relax and get ready for six events next week.” . . .
Assuming the woman in question’s favorite color is green, Matt Phipps is a chick magnet in that Notre Dame leprechaun of his outfit. We’re talking green knickerbockers, a green coat and green. But Matt, how can a guy named Phipps be a leprechaun? “Phipps is English, but my mother’s name was Keating.
