Went to write about @IndStBasketball coach Josh Schertz’s offense. Asked him about playing tennis as a child. He ended up telling me a story even his best friends in the sport do not know. Honored to tell it. theathletic.com/5238989/2024/0…

CJMooreHoops's tweet card. Josh Schertz has Indiana State headed toward its best season since Larry Bird was a Sycamore. He took a unique path to this moment.

Half the coaches we spoke to want expansion: “Double the tournament and it will double the revenue.” The other half are staunchly against it: “Before too long, we’re just gonna let everybody in.” More here from me, @BrendanRMarks & @CJMooreHoops: nytimes.com/athletic/65074…
