I have been asked several times by foreign journalists why there are so few American writers here. (There are only five of us from the mainstream media: Brian Mahoney of AP, Pete Thamel of the New York Times, John Schuhmann of NBA.com, Chris Tomasson of Fanhouse, and myself. But I would be remiss if I did not mention the presence of industrious Syracuse senior Nick Gibson, who is blowing off his first two weeks of school to build his brand.) My stock response is that there are more of us here than there were four years ago in Japan, when ESPN.com, the AP, the Akron Beacon-Journal and the Houston Chronicle were the only U.S. news outlets to cover the entire tournament -- although Commissioner Ryan parachuted in f0r the medal round.

Hey, hey, hey!!! Look at you, Nick!! That's fantastic!!! If you're majoring in journalism, you're making some pretty good connections! Don't forget about your InterBasket friends when you're big and famous, writing for the New York Times!!
Yes, Sheriden is a good writer. I like his commentary quite a bit."I really like the attitudes of eagles. They never give up. When they grab a fish or something else, they never let it go. It doesn't matter. In a book, they write they find a skeleton of [an] eagle and there is no fish. It means that the fish beat him and killed him, but he didn't let go." -- Donatas Motiejunas
