Indiana's next act, on its seventh coach this century? Looking like a college basketball program again. A peek inside the start of the Darian DeVries era for @TheAthletic... nytimes.com/athletic/64861…

Fans and media have voiced their displeasure with the idea of March Madness expansion. But what do college basketball coaches think? The Athletic surveyed 35 of them for their thoughts — and the results were split.

RIP Ozzy. Tonight we all bite the head off a bat in your memory.

This Open Championship was the final confirmation that Scottie Scheffler is not just the current best player in the world. He’s the type of supreme conqueror any given sport might find once every few decades, writes @BrodyAMiller. nytimes.com/athletic/65072…

Tuesday, Scottie Scheffler was exactly what everyone wishes for superstars to be: honest, vulnerable, human. His reward? A weeklong hyper-analysis of his entire psyche — and come Sunday, another dominant major win.

Only Tiger Woods, Jack Nicklaus and Gary Player have won the Open, Masters and PGA Championship before age 30. On Sunday, Scottie Scheffler joined them. @gabbyherzig has more on his dominant Open performance ⤵️ nytimes.com/athletic/65051…

The final men’s golf major of the year is here, and it might be the most beautiful one yet. Who are best suited to win this week at Royal Portrush? Our big board ⤵️

A totally different vibe with Kershaw, worked to perfection

Applaud the idea of mic-ing up the battery. Could be a cool thing. Unfortunately in practice it's basically like mic-ing up Charlie Brown's teacher.

I am thrilled to join the team of tremendous sports journalists at @TheAthletic, the best of the best. First day, first column on my 40-year adventure in the biz: tinyurl.com/52f9dkk9

In college basketball, most coaches are judged by their success in March and April. It’s a slightly flawed way to judge because of the one-and-done tournament setup. So who are men’s college basketball’s top 25 coaches of the 2000s?

Who are the top 25 men’s college basketball players of the last 25 years? Some of the most impactful players were one-and-done; others stayed the full four years. How do you compare the two?

Let’s take the best sporting event in America and expand it despite no discernible benefit for the tournament itself. The NCAA men’s basketball tournament found perfection at 64 teams, yet there’s been this need to mess with it, and now it might actually get messed up.
