Greg Hansen The Star's longtime columnist on why Name, Image and Likeness could prove to be a nightmare on Enke Drive, why a Salpointe football player could be the next big thing, and why Jay Wright's departure could be the start of a trend.
People are also reading… And yet five years since Heeke left his job as Central Michigan’s AD, it’s clear the Arizona athletic department not only survived the"Nightmare on Enke Drive" but is positioned for one of the school’s most positive and productive periods of the last 20 years.
Heeke has become one of the elder statesmen of the Pac-12. Since he arrived at Arizona, athletic directors at Utah, USC, UCLA, WSU and Cal have been replaced. The tenure of ADs in the league has changed significantly in the last 25 years. Cedric Dempsey turned Arizona into a top-10 athletic department, changed the school’s national reputation and wisely hired Lute Olson, Mike Candrea, Frank Busch and Dick Tomey.
What comes next? Probably another series of"Survival" seasons in which the key statistic may become:"Can my donors and boosters out-spend the boosters from USC and Oregon?" The lack of Black participation in Pac-12 baseball has been an issue forever. Of the 88 Arizona lettermen to reach the big leagues, only one, center fielder Dwight Taylor, 1980, is Black. That doesn’t include five-time MLB All-Star outfielder Kenny Lofton, who played in just two Arizona games in 1989.Other than Arizona’s Davis, the only other Black baseball player in the Pac-12 with star-level statistics this season is Oregon’s Jacob Walsh, who is hitting .323.
Josh Green plays postseason minutesNico Mannion has been unable to break into the starting lineup in the Italian EuroLeague this season, averaging 16 minutes and eight points for Virtus, the franchise in Siena, Italy. His backcourt partner at Arizona in 2019-20, Josh Green, has spent the entire season with the Dallas Mavericks, averaging just 4.8 points and failing to get off the bench in 15 regular-season games.
My two cents: Jay Wright's departure could be start of trendWhen Villanova basketball coach Jay Wright retired last week, stepping away at age 60, it sent a wave of caution through college basketball: Is this just the first elite coach who will retire in his prime, choosing not to deal with the transient nature of the game?
