NASHVILLE -- There is nothing in the world more fun that this fortnight, this extended Championship Week. Days full of games, wave after wave of cheerleaders, pep bands, student sections and players' moms. Every two hours new ones come along come, a blurry time-smear of orange, red, green, blue, gold.
It's also the first March sighting of "Basketball Guys"... you know, those silver-haired dudes in jumpsuits who stand around in groups staying close to the game, talking about the old days when there was no 3-point line. Some of them are convinced that there's still one last D-I job left in them if they just make the right contact, even if they haven't coached anybody for over a decade.
Promised it yesterday, overnight delivery today. We've been here at the Atlantic Sun tournament for the past couple days, and thought it would fun to show our readers what kind of stuff goes into making this March magic. Here, then, is your exclusive behind-the-scenes backstage pass to the A-Sun.
