Is that your final Answer?

When Allen Iverson signed a one-year, $3.5 million contract with the Memphis Grizzlies just before the season began, no one expected him to turn back the clock and play like the All-Star he once was, or to lead the team out of its perpetual troubles. But surely most people thought the ill-formed marriage would last longer than this: after just three games, the former Hoya guard skipped the Grizzlies’ game last Saturday against the Clippers to fly back to his home in Atlanta for “personal reasons.” Iverson had to handle a family matter, but now he is taking an indefinite leave of absence. He isn’t injured, sick, or unfit to play—he just doesn’t want to come off the bench.

The Sports Sermon: Check the schedule

To call the schedule that John Thompson III has arranged for this basketball season difficult would be an understatement. In addition to the conference-prescribed and always challenging Big East slate, which includes two matchups with Villanova and a trip to West Virginia, Thompson has also chosen of his own volition to play teams such as Butler, Washington, Duke, and Savannah State. One of those non-conference opponents is not like the other. The first three were all ranked in top fifteen of the major preseason polls. Savannah State only started playing in Division I in 2002, and is best known for not winning a game in the 2004-2005 season.
