Give Coach Cal credit, Kentucky deserved the title

Congratulations to Kentucky for the team’s convincing win over Kansas in the NCAA title game.

Coach John Calipari catches a lot of flack about his recruiting practices, but it was nice to see him win with a team filled with unselfish players, most notably freshmen sensation Anthony Davis and ready-made NBA swingman Michael Kidd-Gilchrist.

For those who missed it, here is “One Shining Moment,” which is the tournament’s wrap-up video from CBS.

CAUGHT IN THE MIDDLE - Being a sideline reporter is never easy.

Check out NBC reporter Pierre McGuire, who was caught in the middle of a screaming match between Philadelphia Flyers coach Peter Laviolette and Pittsburgh Penguins coach Dan Bylsma during a brawl between the teams late in the game.

The brawl should set up an interesting potential first-round playoff series between the teams.
