No games, but plenty of news

Anybody else jonesing for college ball to start? I thought so.

It's always fascinated me, the way some athletes go on from an ACL injury like nothing ever happened, while it ends the careers of others. In talking to Seimone Augustus for this piece, that moment of mental recovery is explored. Very interesting.

In other WNBA news, viewership was up for the Finals this year by 10 percent.

College:

UConn Coach Geno Auriemma will receive the John R. Wooden Legends of Coaching Award.

San Diego State will have an open practice this Friday afternoon.

Cal will have an open practice Saturday morning.

USA Basketball:

Teresa Edwards will carry the Pan American Games flag in the opening ceremonies of those games this Friday.

Recruiting:

This past weekend was a big viewing period for college coaches. ESPN was busy trying to cover it all.
