6.)\u2014”I have no idea about this happening, but I do know that there are so many principals and administrators that know zero about athletics. Many high-end administrators, such as principals, want teachers and coaches to brown-nose them because possibly they might be insecure or just power junkies? I suggest there are so many good teachers and head coaches who are better educators and just want to be left alone, not wanting\/needing principals trying to butt into their programs\/classroom expertise. But they do try to think they know more than even the most talented teachers and coaches.”\u2014MVS commenter, “Sports Man”<\/p>\n

7.)\u2014Klay Thompson delivers overtime dagger as the Miami Heat beat the Clippers 117-116. The 3-pointer capped a 30-point night\u2014his first since 2024\u2014as Miami rallied from a big deficit.<\/p>\n

Gail Goodrich scored 31 points; Jim McMillian had 22 points and 13 rebounds; Wilt Chamberlain grabbed 25 rebounds (with 12 points).
