Syracuse's Warrick named Big East player of the year
NEW YORK (AP) -- Hakim Warrick, the second-leading scorer and fourth-leading rebounder in the Big East this season, was selected the conference player of the year on Tuesday.
The 6-foot-8 senior forward, a preseason All-America, was chosen in a vote of the league's coaches.
Al Skinner, who led Boston College to a share of the regular-season title with Connecticut in the Eagles' last season in the Big East, was chosen the coach of the year.
Warrick led the Orange, who finished third in the league, with averages of 22.1 points and 7.6 rebounds. One of the country's best dunkers, he is shooting 55.3 percent from the field and has scored in double figures in 57 straight games.
He is the third Syracuse player to win the honor, joining Derrick Coleman in 1990 and Billy Owens in 1991.
It is the second time Skinner has been chosen coach of the year. The other was in 2000-01 when the Eagles also went 13-3 in the league. Boston College, a charter member of the Big East, leaves for the Atlantic Coast Conference next season.
Sophomore Josh Boone of Connecticut was chosen the defensive player of the year, the third straight season a Husky won the award. Emeka Okafor was the defensive player of the year the last two seasons.
Rudy Gay of Connecticut and Jeff Green of Georgetown were chosen co-rookies of the year, while Jared Dudley of Boston College and Marcus Williams of Connecticut shared Most Improved Player honors.
Senior Josh Pace of Syracuse won the Sportsmanship Award.
700 wins
Coach Jim Boeheim secured his 700th win on senior day as Syracuse beat Providence 91-66. Hakim Warrick, Josh Pace, and Craig Forth were honored as they played their last game in front of 30,000+ Carrier Dome fans. Warrick scored a career high 36 points to lead the 'Cuse to victory.
Boeheim became the 18th Division I coach to record 700 career victories and the fifth fastest, trailing only Adolph Rupp, Jerry Tarkanian, Dean Smith and Phog Allen.
Coach K offered Lakers job
Will he take it?
Krzyzewski has a 621-179 record in 24 seasons at Duke, leading the Blue Devils to NCAA championships in 1991, 1992 and 2001. Under Krzyzewski, the Blue Devils have 10 Final Four appearances, eight Atlantic Coast Conference tournament championships and 10 conference regular-season titles.
He has accomplished everything he can at the college level. We wouldn't call it leaving early if he were to jump to the pros.
I say, take the job!
Syracuse Wins Lacrosse Title
BALTIMORE - Syracuse won its ninth NCAA (news - web sites) lacrosse championship, getting five assists from Mike Powell and overcoming a gritty effort by Navy in a 14-13 victory Monday.
In a game that featured 10 ties and five lead changes, Syracuse (15-2) used a three-goal run late in the fourth quarter to go up 14-12. Ian Dingman scored for Navy with 40 seconds left, but the Orange held on to earn their third title in five years.

Hakim Warrick coming back to SU
It's always been his dream to play in the NBA, but Orangemen star Hakim Warrick says he's staying at SU for one more year.
Warrick announced his decision Thursday afternoon at Manley Field House. He says Coach Boeheim and his mother helped him make the decision to stay and that he looks forward to finsihing out his career at SU and helping his team win a Championship next season.
Warrick wants to polish his perimeter skills, which remain a work in progress. He has played primarily as a power forward and only occasionally has been able to move to the wing. He did not make a 3-point shot in either of the past two seasons, having attempted only seven.
"This is the best decision for me — just being able to have one more year, graduate, have a chance to win another national championship," Warrick said. "There aren't too many people that have two national championships, and that's definitely something I wanted."
A second-team All-America selection by Sporting News, Warrick averaged 19.8 points and 8.5 rebounds as a junior. The Orangemen finished the season 23-8 with a loss to Alabama in the NCAA tournament Sweet 16, one year after claiming the school's first national championship. Warrick's biggest moment as a Syracuse player remains his block of a 3-point attempt by Kansas guard Michael Lee, a rejection that preserved SU's victory.

It's funny. Now that SU has lost, I don't care at all about the tourney. Good luck St Joe's, UCONN, and Duke!

Weekend
Man, It has been so nice outside the past few days it makes it so hard to concentrate on what's going on inside. Tonight i'm going to Beardslee Castle in Little Falls to see REZI and I'm looking forward to that. It's going to be sweet, here is a picture of the place from their site. 
I somehow misplaced my cell phone charger last weekend, no clue, so I broke down yesterday and bought a car charger for it. The damn thing was dead so it hadn't worked for a few days, but now its up and running with 2 out of 3 bars of juice. Tonight I'll be able to juice it all the way with this drive to LF. Looking forward. Will also be watching the Syracuse basketball game. Peace
