Spent many summer mornings as a kid reading the Washington Post sports section on trips to Fairfax, VA to visit my grandparents. John Feinstein’s books/stories were go-tos for me as a young writer. Sad to see what has happened today and sad for all of those impacted.

Joined writers who covered 2001 76ers during pregame at 25th anniversary celebration. Covered many games that season for Trenton Times and AP. Sat next to the late, great Jack Scheuer for most so made sure to stand next to his son Bob.

In Villanova’s 71-66 win over DePaul Wednesday, coach Kevin Willard switched to a 2-3 zone with the Wildcats trailing by 10 points with 11 minutes left. DePaul was giving Villanova problems with its high ball screen action.
I asked Willard about it:
“We had to take that away.”
