A couple features today:
- Changing of a guard: Finally clean and sober, Herren ready to embrace his post-basketball life. The 33-year-old’s hopes of returning to the NBA or playing pro basketball anywhere in world are now basically dead. With his Massachusetts driver’s license expected to be suspended soon, the Fall River hoop legend had to give up his job repossessing cars recently and is seeking employment in tough economic times. And the ex-Celtics point guard also has a wife and three kids to support. [Globe]
- Arizona prospect is hot stuff: there is one stellar prospect in their realm still trying to make a name for himself: Arizona forward Jordan Hill. Hill didn’t start playing organized basketball until the ninth grade and didn’t play in the 11th grade because of issues with his grades. The 6-foot-10-inch, 235-pounder signed with Arizona late in the recruiting game in 2006 after impressing coach Lute Olson at an AAU tournament. [Globe]
- Celtics earn solid Pat on back: When model organizations are mentioned, it still may be a Patriots universe, but the Celtics walked off with a galaxy or two last week when they were named the 2009 Professional Sports Team of the Year by the SportsBusiness Journal and SportsBusiness Daily. [Herald]
- Note to referees: NBA games are not about you: Dick Bavetta and Joey Crawford are among the biggest names in the NBA playoffs. But they are officiating the games, not playing in them. [Miami Herald]
