With all the Super Bowl brouhaha over, thankfully, we turn our attention to basketball and tournament season.  Although still a couple to a few weeks away, teams are nonetheless already scrambling for higher seeds.  In high school hoops, tournament basketball is arguably the most exciting event of the year.  The air becomes thick with fan anticipation as the regular season winds down.  Must-win games are being contested seemingly every night.  Coaches are secretly planning for their teams’ first round match-ups.  The odds of winning it all are remote for all but a few, yet soon thousands upon thousands of prep players will be sitting in darkened classrooms watching the DVD of Gene Hackman’s gray Chevy glide across Indiana farmlands in the opening scenes of Hoosiers as coaches reach deeply for added motivation.  College teams are gearing up for their March Madness run, the one they must put together over the season’s final month to be eligible for post season play.  Practices pick up in intensity.  Coaches bark a little louder.  Players shoot a few more shots after practices are completed.  Coaches return to their offices after lunch to find players watching tape on their own.  It’s almost tournament time and none of us can bare the wait.
