Puttin a whompin' on UW-Madison.

Also a good shot of Doc Rivers shootin' a free throw vs. Louisville.

Nice story.

Visionary.

"He looks at me and says, 'I have no idea what I'm going to do with it,' " Ben Koller said of his father. "And I was livid. We can't make payroll. What do you mean, you don't know what you're going to do with it?

"And he leans forward and he says: 'I have a vision: this floor isn't just a basketball floor, it isn't just a work of art. It's an idea that represents taking risks and thinking big and going after your dreams.' "

It's a good thing that floor isn't used anymore, I can imagine how Al-Qeada would view sports played on the Mecca floor.
