During the ABC telecast of the Warriors’ first-round opener against New Orleans on Saturday, Jackson said he believed new Warriors head coach Steve Kerr should win the NBA’s Coach of the Year for improving the team from 51 to 67 victories. When he returned to Oracle Arena on Jan. 9, he dismissed the importance of a rim-protector and said the Warriors’ defense got better when center Andrew Bogut was on the sideline. Later in that telecast, he spouted a seemingly rehearsed line referring to Kerr improving on the job Jackson believes he started with Golden State. People are going to ask what he thinks, especially with his ties to the Warriors’ organization and myself, specifically. 'Superfan’ sighting: NBA celebrity fan Jimmy Goldstein, who is recognized by his leather outfits and, by his estimation, attends about 35 to 40 playoff games every season, started his 2015 odyssey in Oakland. Goldstein, a multimillionaire who likes to keep the source of his wealth secret (though it is believed to come through Los Angeles real-estate deals), is usually courtside at Staples Center. Kerr and Monty Williams are both linked to Gregg Popovich’s coaching tree, but Williams said Kerr “took the fruit, and I took the bark.” Visiting teams get to choose their opening basket, and New Orleans is one of a handful that chose to shoot in front of the Warriors’ bench during the first half. The Warriors recalled center Ognjen Kuzmic, who helped their NBA Development League team in Santa Cruz take a one-game lead in the Western Conference finals against Austin on Friday.

    Colorado head football coach Deion Sanders during the CU Spring football game on April 27, 2024.(Cliff Grassmick/Staff Photographer) Rain made for a soggy Colorado spring football game on Saturday, but it certainly didn’t dampen the mood among the recruits who were visiting. On Sunday, three recruits who visited the Boulder campus this weekend announced their verbal commitments to the Buffs, including brothers Brandon and Colton Hood and offensive line transfer Zack Owens from Clemson. All three were once teammates at Eagles Landing Christian Academy in McDonough, Ga., and now will be teammates at CU, where they’ll play for head coach Deion Sanders. Colton Hood is a cornerback who will join the Buffs as a transfer from Auburn.

    Denver Post, Sunday - 04/28/2024 - 12:25 PM

    The Broncos may or may not have a shot at drafting CU’s Shedeur Sanders in 2025. But they are bringing one of the most celebrated college quarterbacks in the state over to Dove Valley for a closer look. Mines QB John Matocha, the NCAA’s all-time leader in total touchdowns, received an invite to the Broncos’ rookie mini-camp next month, his former school announced in a news release Sunday morning. The 5-foot-11, 180-pound Matocha, winner of the Harlon Hill Award — Division II football’s Heisman — in 2022, led the Orediggers to the NCAA Division II national championship game each of the last two seasons, throwing for 162 touchdowns and running for 28 more as a four-year starter.
