Re: National Champions to Meet the President
Are they going to play a little pickup on the white house court? Nolan would light Obama up, and a Reggie vs Zoubeck matchup would be fun to watch

Re: National Champions to Meet the President
Doubtful. If you remember when the President played pickup with the light blue people down the road, a guy with nice hair that you've never heard of guarded Obama. It would be fun to see Reggie v. a Plumlee or Zoub....Jesus_hurley wrote:Are they going to play a little pickup on the white house court?

Re: National Champions to Meet the President
Same article as linked on the front page:

But I wanted to add some of the quotes:
http://www.wralsportsfan.com/duke/story/7679080/
But I wanted to add some of the quotes:
"You know, when I woke up this morning and I saw a few hundred students camping out on my lawn, I remembered that today is Duke day."
"I know that all of you remember last year when I filled out my bracket, I picked North Carolina to win it all. It wasn't anything personal, just trying to win some money....I was right," Obama said in front of a laughing audience at the White House Rose Garden. "Coach K wasn't too happy. He basically told me to stick it....or stick to my day job.
"And this year he went out with all these guys and he won so he could come to the White House and crow about it. Payback is sweet."

Re: National Champions to Meet the President
Did I miss something? I didn't hear him (the Prez) mention Collins among the coaches. Pretty big goof if I'm right. And I had hoped to see Reggie.

Re: National Champions to Meet the President
From the transcript of the President'ts speech:
I also want to congratulate the assistant coaches –-
Chris Collins, Nate James, and Steve Wojciechowski –- I’ll
just call him “Wojo” like everybody else –- all of whom
were once captains on Coach K’s teams, as well.

Re: National Champions to Meet the President
Reggie seems to have scooted in and out before the remarks were made. I found that to be strange. I thought he would have played a more visible role.
