With a generally star-less Louisville team in the Final Four, how about some props for Rick Pitino?

As always, this Final Four is full of pathos and storylines. Bruce Weber's gritty Illini playing on after the coach lost his mother (and playing on with serious purpose and maturity). Roy Williams back home in Carolina trying to finally get the long-overdue national title.

Michigan State, the athletic, senior-laden darkhorse from a school that also has its women's team in the Final Four, trying to bring a UConn double to East Lansing. When Louisville's name comes up, it's in recognition of perimeter stars Francisco Garcia and Taquan Dean. It's as if Pitino is merely doing a cameo.

That's an injustice. Objectively speaking, Louisville has less talent than any of the Final Four teams, a credit to Pitino's unparalleled knack for getting maximum effort from his teams at the highest possible level. To much of America, Pitino is an East Coast dandy, a guy with good hair (not as good as it used to be), who bloomed early, made a lot of ... more.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
