(AP) — Lefty Driesell, the Hall of Fame coach whose folksy drawl belied a fiery on-court demeanor that put Maryland on the college basketball map and enabled him to rebuild several struggling programs, died Saturday. Driesell was inducted into the College Basketball Hall of Fame in 2007, but his entry into the Naismith shrine proved more elusive. He went 9-14 in his debut, one of only two times over an entire season in which he would finish with a losing record as a college coach. Congratulations.”After leaving Maryland, Driesell was hired in 1988 by James Madison, a small Virginia school that finished 10-18 in 1987. I figured it out pretty quickly.”___AP college basketball: https://apnews.com/hub/ap-top-25-college-basketball-poll and https://apnews.com/hub/college-basketball

(AP) — Before Gary Williams led Maryland to the 2002 NCAA championship, Lefty Driesell made the Terrapins relevant. “Coach Driesell is Maryland,” said Jeff Baxter, who played at Maryland from 1982-86. “When you think of Maryland Terrapins, you think of coach Driesell, and of course coach Williams winning the national championship that came about, but it never would have been written if it weren’t for coach Driesell.

"For me when I was coaching, we are looking at high school and maybe some junior college kids. — Three years ago, nearly 400,000 girls played high school basketball and only 1.3% went on to play Division I basketball according to the NCAA. — On average, there are roughly 1,400 Division I scholarships available each year and there were 1,200 players in the transfer portal this year. Her husband played at Miami, her daughter plays at Georgetown and her younger son is a top 100 prospect in high school. If School X signs someone from the transfer portal, that is one less available scholarship at that university.
