Captain Obvious was in the Little Apple Monday and he witnessed the release of college basketball’s worst kept secret. Kansas State freshman Michael Beasley will enter the NBA Draft. This isn’t groundbreaking news. Beasley, the Big 12 player of the year, never declared a major and he could’ve been drafted after high school. But the NBA closes the draft to high school players until one year after graduation.

Ah. Another NCAA tournament final and yet another brewing situation about the departure of a championship coach. The nation’s best sports spectacle wouldn’t feel right if there wasn’t the extra drama, so it seems.

What happened to the days where coaches were, well, just coaches: the generals guiding their athletic children to prominence? No longer. The Final Four is a coach’s networking dream. And Monday’s announcement of Bill Self being offered an extremely higher paying position at Oklahoma State is not only a disgraceful act (almost comparable to A-Rod announcing he won’t be back with the Yankees during the World Series), but it puts a damper on the championship game.
