The kid has mad game and swagger that says "you got no shot against me."He even slipped up and made the comment "that's what they pay me to do." Even he believes he should be playing professional basketball!Wall, and other kids coming out of high school, have the choice to either attend college, join the military or go out into society to earn a living. Every person is responsible for the success or failure of their decision. It is not for the NCAA to decide or enforce, at least not in basketball.Just look at the very best in the NBA over the last decade Kobe Bryant Tracy McGrady Kevin Garnett LeBron James Dwight Howard Josh Smith. Not to mention countless others who have earned enough money in their NBA careers to exceed what many of us "normal" people earn in a lifetime with our college degrees. A kid can also go to school on their own dime through summer school or after their playing days are over.The window as a professional athlete is short.

Why take away a year of earning potential and possiblyjeopardize injuryRight now John Wall should be a millionaire playing in the FedEx Forum for Memphis, as he was supposed to from the beginning.. The team has one win and nine losses to date.Bates, 63, will stay on with the team at least through the end of the season in a consulting role, breaking down film and assisting Morris on game day from the coaching box.Bates' previous stint with the Miami Dolphins was successful as he had a top 10 ranked defense in each of his four seasons with the Dolphins. Conversely, Bates' one year term with the Denver Broncos is a parallel to his time in Tampa Bay. In Denver, Bates was stripped of his play-calling duties and demoted after his defense struggled out of the gate. At the end of the 2007 season, Bates resigned.Buccaneers’ head coach Raheem Morris and general manager Mark Dominik met until late Monday to discuss the organizational shift, one day after the Bucs were routed by the unbeaten New Orleans Saints 38 7 which was one of the worst home defeats in club history.All defensive play-calling responsibilities have been taken over by first year head coach Raheem Morris. Morris is expected to immediately return the Bucs’ to their former Tampa Two scheme, which will allow their undersized defensive linemen to benefit fromtheir speed rather than reprimand them for a lack of physical size and bulk. The change in gap disciplines and corner coverages (from bump and run to cushioned zones) should help the Bucs’ personnel immensely.Bucs’ head coach Raheem Morris, 33, is the league's youngest head coach.

Morris has never officially handled defensive play calling duties in an NFL game before, but did serve as defensive coordinator throughout the 2006 season before accepting an offer to re-joinas a defensive backs coach in 2007.Morris has been more actively involved in the defense in recent weeks. Bates ran a 4 3, two gap scheme that required the cornerbacks to play less zone and more man to man coverage, but the Bucs have been playing more traditional Cover Two as the season has progressed, attempting to eliminate several big plays offenses have scored against them.

Huge relief for Raymond Domenech...'After his controversial handball set up William Gallas' undeserving extra-time winner in France's decisive second-leg World Cup qualifying knock-out match, Thierry Henry said he 'considered quitting' international football, after the FFF left him open to a barrage of invectives and vitriol in the international press and media.Out in a North African cauldron otherwise known as Omdurman, Antar Yahia's stunning 40th minute strike saw Algeria progress at the expense of their opponents, bitter rivals Egypt, under the watchful eye of a 15,000-strong heavily armed and armoured security force.Now that the dust begins to settle after the tempestuous final round of qualifiers, it is right to let bygones be bygones and focus on Soccer City, Johannesburg. For it is here, on Friday, 11 June, 2010, South Africa will play host to their first World Cup finals, having beaten off competition from Morocco to host the prestigious and lucrative tournament after much deliberation among FIFA officials.Since that glorious moment, back in Zurich on 15 May, 2004, there has been much negativity in the build-up to the tournament focusing on safety concerns and the country's inadequate infrastructure, resources, and footballing heritage.South African authorities will be hoping that these prove to be without foundation, and will look to the tournament as a demonstration and celebration of the country's motto 'Unity in Diversity' after many years of hardship and suppression brought about by racial tension and political corruption.In ten venues, over the course of one month, 32 national teams, largely a Who's Who of the most celebrated footballing names, with one or two surprise qualifiers thrown in for good measure, will compete for football's ultimate prize, the Jules Rimet Trophy.Let's focus our attention on which teams and players will light up the sparkling stadium and make the fans party into the balmy African night....
