Baseball is portrayed as a thinking man's game but only 4% of active MLB players earned college diplomas. Unless you habitually pore over the content at baseballlibrary.com, baseballreference.com and nationalpastime.com, following is an April 24 calendar focusing on such versatile MLB athletes:

APRIL 24

• San Diego Padres SS Bill Almon (averaged 2.5 ppg in half a season for Brown's 1972-73 basketball team ending school's streak of 12 straight losing records) contributed four hits for the second time in four days in 1978.

Former Memphis coach Josh Pastner had difficulty defeating ranked opponents but expected more positive results upon linking with the Lawson sons. There was every indication a new colossal clan would be added to the "First Families of Hoops" in the next few years. Keelon Lawson, who averaged 14.6 ppg and 10.9 rpg for Memphis-based LeMoyne-Owen in 1991-92 and 1992-93, steered two prominent sons - K.J. (H.S. class of '15) and Dedric ('16) - to the Tigers with a third - Chandler ('19) - on the way after the Tigers hired him as an assistant coach. Keelon coached his two oldest sons for a Memphis high school before all of the siblings were slated to attend a prep school in Jacksonville, Fla.

Pastner successor Tubby Smith promptly encountered a dilemma on how to handle the Lawsons while assembling his first staff and roster at Memphis. How he deals with fragile egos (including restoring one of his sons to assistant status) likely will influence a normally strong local recruiting pipeline and how soon he becomes the first coach guiding six different universities to the NCAA playoffs. Ethical questions are raised when hiring the coach of a prize high school prospect but the Lawson "My Three Sons" represent nothing new when it comes to high school reunions.

Package deals have been a relatively common practice over the years. Josh Hart, perhaps the top pro prospect from Villanova's NCAA titlist aligned with the Wildcats during a period when his AAU coach (Doug Martin) departed after a short stint as Nova assistant coach because of resume fabrication. In 1989, Michigan was the 10th different school in a 20-year span to reach the Final Four with the help of a "coattail" franchise (assistant coach Perry Watson/starting guard Jalen Rose). There also were 10 first- and second-team consensus All-Americans in that stretch stemming from such high school reunions.

There have also been some other unique recruiting cases over the years. For instance, consensus first-team All-American Danny Manning was recruited by Kansas' Larry Brown, who brought in Manning's father as an assistant in the mid-1980s although Ed Manning had been working as a truck driver. Similarly, standout guard Dajuan Wagner went from New Jersey to Memphis, where his father, former NBA guard Milt Wagner, was working under Tigers coach John Calipari. Elsewhere, Daniel Hackett played for USC under Tim Floyd when his former Syracuse All-American father Rudy Hackett was hired as strength and conditioning manager.

Michael Porter Sr., taking care of his entire family including both genders, became an assistant for women's team at Missouri with two daughters before accepting a similar position at Washington, where he is slated to be joined in the next couple of years by two sons (Michael Jr. and Jontay). The elder Porter eschewed moving over to men's staff at Mizzou and rejected a similar job offer from Texas A&M.

Australian Ben Simmons, the nation's premier prep prospect last year, joined his godfather (former LSU assistant David Patrick) with the Tigers. Prior to AAU posses, high school reunions were routine recruiting ploys. There are usually more than a dozen active Division I head coaches who got their start as a college assistant by tagging along directly or being reunited with one of their prize high school prospects. Following is an alphabetical list of NCAA Division I schools featuring star players whose high school coach was reunited with that standout as a college assistant:

AKRON: Lannis Timmons joined Dan Hipsher's staff directly with Darryl Peterson in 2001. Peterson was the Zips' second-leading scorer (13.1 ppg) and rebounder (5 rpg) as a freshman and third-leading scorer (13.8 ppg) and second-leading rebounder (4.4 rpg) as a sophomore. . . .

*Perfect game.

Kentucky and North Carolina continue to rank 1-2 for most All-American honorees over the years. Duke isn't far behind UK (total of 71) and UNC (71) although none of the Blue Devils' All-Americans came from the state of North Carolina (19 different states plus District of Columbia).

Illinois, Notre Dame and Purdue never have won an NCAA championship despite all three schools ranking among the top 10 in supplying the most All-Americans. Following is a list of the top 10 universities boasting the most All-Americans since 1928-29 (AP, Converse, NABC, UPI and USBWA).

Extra! Extra! Read all about memorable major league baseball achievements, moments and transactions involving former college basketball players! Numerous ex-college hoopsters had front-row seats to many of the most notable games and dates in MLB history.

Baseball is portrayed as a thinking man's game but only 4% of active MLB players earned college diplomas. Unless you habitually pore over the content at baseballlibrary.com, baseballreference.com and nationalpastime.com, following is an April 20 calendar focusing on such versatile MLB athletes:

APRIL 20

• Cincinnati Reds LF Joe Adcock (Louisiana State's leading basketball scorer in 1945-46) jacked two homers against the Pittsburgh Pirates in the nightcap of a 1952 twinbill.

• Chicago Cubs 3B Davey Lopes (NAIA All-District 15 selection for Iowa Wesleyan averaged 16.9 ppg as freshman in 1964-65 and 12.1 ppg as sophomore in 1965-66) went 5-for-5 and walked twice in a 17-inning game against the Pittsburgh Pirates in 1986.

• A single by Kansas City Royals RF Jerry Martin (Furman's second-leading scorer in 1969-70 and third-leading scorer in 1970-71) was the only hit Detroit Tigers P Milt Wilcox surrendered in an 8-0 shutout in 1982.

• In 1981, Philadelphia Phillies RF Bake McBride (averaged 12.7 ppg and 8.1 rpg in 21 games for Westminster MO in 1968-69 and 1969-70) provided his third two-double outing in a six-game span.

The hoop lowdown might not rise to the level of aggressive African-American commentary on presidential prospects of Donald Trump or present POTUS lecturing Christians rather than unprincipled marauders, but it could be time to proclaim white players matter. Many white-privilege provocateurs seem to care as much about the basketball topic, however, as far-left zealots are outraged about Muslim terrorists murdering saints and believers.

A milestone didn't trigger White History Month several seasons ago, but 2013 marked the first time in 34 years at least half of the list of NCAA consensus first- and second-team All-Americans were white players. From 1980 through 2012, less than one-fifth of the NCAA consensus first- and second-team All-Americans were Caucasian. RevAl may consider this racist research but he probably should be more concerned about paying his fair share of taxes on filing deadline day.

Gonzaga (Dan Dickau, Blake Stepp, Adam Morrison, Kelly Olynyk and Kyle Wiltjer) boasts the most white consensus All-Americans thus far this century with five. The only other school posting as many as four different white consensus All-Americans in the 21st Century is Duke. Grayson Allen is projected to become the fifth Duke player in this category next season.

It might not reign purple important as a photograph of Prince in a junior high basketball uniform but we could be in the midst of a modest resurgence for the white player represented by at least two individuals each year thus far this century. After all, Duke was the nation's only school to supply a white first-team All-American in a nine-year span from 1987-88 through 1995-96 (Danny Ferry in 1989, Christian Laettner in 1992 and Bobby Hurley in 1993). For those keeping track of such demographics or who might be a dues-paying member of another NAACP (National Association for Advancement of Caucasian Players), following is a list of white NCAA consensus first- and second-team All-Americans since Indiana State's Larry Bird was unanimous national player of the year in 1979:

Extra! Extra! Read all about memorable major league baseball achievements, moments and transactions involving former college basketball players! Numerous ex-college hoopsters had front-row seats to many of the most notable games and dates in MLB history.

Baseball is portrayed as a thinking man's game but only 4% of active MLB players earned college diplomas. Unless you habitually pore over the content at baseballlibrary.com, baseballreference.com and nationalpastime.com, following is an April 17 calendar focusing on such versatile MLB athletes:

SMU bench boss Larry Brown began his nomadic head coaching career by resigning following only a couple of months at Davidson's helm in 1969. Brown reportedly departed primarily because the Wildcats didn't increase their recruiting budget and lower high academic requirements for prospective recruits. He was also annoyed about the school's summer basketball camp and receiving bills for his temporary residence and carpeting he ordered for his office.

Reducing academic standards has triggered an abundance of exceptions - scholastically challenged "prize prospects" who don't meet a school's usual admission standards but gain entry because of their special athletic talent. In other words, a classless institution of lower learning "looks the other way" when being more attracted to someone adept at throwing a no-look pass than exhibiting a citadel of higher learning focusing more on authentic students infinitely more capable of passing a genuine college class.

But Brown Out has competition for the most unusual tale for walking away from a new coaching position. Chris Beard, after a mere couple of weeks coaching UNLV's eroding program, departed Sin City to return to Texas Tech, where he previously served as an assistant for more than a decade.

A tragic tale unfolded in Evansville's initial season at the NCAA Division I level in 1977-78 when coach Bobby Watson and 13 members of his Purple Aces squad perished in a plane crash moments after taking off en route to their fifth game of the season. Watson, a Vietnam veteran with five Purple Hearts, was hired after former UE All-American Jerry Sloan, who went on to a distinguished coaching career with the NBA's Utah Jazz, had been named coach of the Purple Aces before abruptly changing his mind.

Davidson was also shunned by Dartmouth's Gary Walters in 1976. Following is an alphabetical list of coaches such as Beard who had a change of heart and reneged on deals for a variety of reasons:

Coach	Shunned School/Team (Year)	Subsequent Hire
Creighton's Dana Altman	Arkansas (2007)	John Pelphrey
Wisconsin-Eau Claire's Ken Anderson	Wisconsin (1982)	Steve Yoder
UNLV's Chris Beard	UNLV (2016)	Marvin Menzies
Oakland Oaks (ABA) guard Larry Brown	Davidson (1969)	Terry Holland
Capital's Vince Chickerella	Cincinnati (1972)	Gale Catlett
Capital's Vince Chickerella	Kent State (1978)	Ed Douma
Georgia Tech's Bobby Cremins	South Carolina (1993)	Eddie Fogler
Bowling Green's Dan Dakich	West Virginia (2002)	John Beilein
Florida's Billy Donovan	NBA's Orlando Magic (2007)	Stan Van Gundy
North Carolina assistant Bill Guthridge	Penn State (1978)	Dick Harter
Texas-El Paso's Don Haskins	Detroit (1969)	Jim Harding
Kansas State's Jack Hartman	Oklahoma State (1977)	Jim Killingsworth
ESPN analyst Rick Majerus	Southern California (2005)	Tim Floyd
Winthrop's Gregg Marshall	College of Charleston (2006)	Bobby Cremins
Appalachian State's Buzz Peterson	Southwest Missouri State (1999)	Barry Hinson
Chicago Bulls scout Jerry Sloan	Evansville (1977)	Bobby Watson
Dartmouth's Gary Walters	Davidson (1976)	Dave Pritchett

Don't believe everything you hear. Complicating the high-expectations transition for freshmen phenoms are misguided rush-to-judgment comments from experts such as Dick Vitale who hype recruits beyond reason during their senior season in high school. According to the effervescent ESPN analyst, Delray Brooks (Indiana/Providence) was going to be the next Oscar Robertson, Tito Horford (Louisiana State/Miami FL) was going to be the next Hakeem Olajuwon, Jeff Lebo (North Carolina) was going to be the next Jerry West, ad nauseam. Brooks, Horford and Lebo went on to become fine college players, but the only historical basketball byproduct they had in common with the Big O, the Dream and Mr. Clutch was they played in the same half century.

Freshmen played varsity college basketball in wartime years during the 1940s and early '50s because of manpower shortages, and at earlier times when eligibility requirements were lax. But for the most part prior to the 1972-73 campaign, colleges fielded freshman teams requiring extra scholarships and operating expenses. Consequently, the introduction of freshman eligibility trimmed costs and, of course, gave eager coaches instant access to high school phenoms who are immediately placed under the glare of the spotlight to help keep elite programs on a pedestal or possibly give struggling teams a chance to climb the ladder of success.

Former Marquette coach Al McGuire coined the phrase: "The best thing about freshmen is that they become sophomores." But McGuire's clever message came before the "one-and-done" era. Brandon Ingram (Duke) and Ben Simmons (LSU) are slated to go 1-2 in the 2016 NBA draft despite failing to boost their college teams to any significant success. Following is a list of acclaimed freshmen such as Ingram and Simmons losing at least 10 games in their inaugural campaign while failing to guide their schools to better record than they compiled the previous season:

Guard Cane Broome, who finished eighth in the nation in scoring with 23.1 points per game as a sophomore with Sacred Heart, transferred to Cincinnati. But due to the Bearcats' style of play, it is unlikely the Northeast Conference MVP will come anywhere close to continuing such prolific point production after sitting out the next campaign. Broome probably will be a transfer similar to guard Antoine Mason, the runner-up to unanimous national player of the year Doug McDermott (Creighton) in scoring (25.6 ppg with Niagara in 2013-14) who switched to Auburn for his final season of eligibility and scored a modest 14.4 ppg.

Thus Broome is expected to be like Mason and fail to join the following chronological list of mid-major players, including three straight in the mid-1970s, transferring from one four-year school to another and subsequently pacing NCAA Division I in scoring:

NCAA's Top Scorer	School	Season(s) Led Nation in Scoring	Original University
Frank Burgess	Gonzaga	32.4 ppg in 1960-61	Arkansas-Pine Bluff
Larry Fogle	Canisius	33.4 ppg in 1973-74	Southwestern Louisiana
Bob McCurdy	Richmond	32.9 ppg in 1974-75	Virginia
Marshall Rogers	Pan American	36.8 ppg in 1975-76	Kansas
Greg "Bo" Kimble	Loyola Marymount	35.3 ppg in 1989-90	Southern California
Kevin Bradshaw	U.S. International	37.6 ppg in 1990-91	Bethune-Cookman
Greg Guy	Texas-Pan American	29.3 ppg in 1992-93	Fresno State
Charles Jones	Long Island	30.1 ppg in 1996-97 and 29 ppg in 1997-98	Rutgers
Courtney Alexander	Fresno State	24.8 ppg in 1999-00	Virginia
Ruben Douglas	New Mexico	28 ppg in 2002-03	Arizona

NOTE: Burgess and Bradshaw served in U.S. military.
