No surprise with the way my summer went that it doesn't look promising that I'll get to the Annual Fall Clinic put on by Florida assistant Larry Shyatt, UCLA assistant Scott Duncan and a few others down in Gainesville.

I'm still holding out hope, but it doesn't look promising with tropical storm Fay likely to stick around Florida for a few days.

The clinic was an opportunity for me to soak in as much X's and O's as possible and hear from guys like NBA coaches (Doc Rivers and Kevin Eastman of the Celtics, Stan Van Gundy of the Orlando Magic and Memphis Grizzlies assistant Kevin O'Neill).

College guys scheduled to talk included Billy Donovan, Niagara's Joe Mihalich, Bradley's Jim Les, Ken McDonald (Western Kentucky), Randy Peele (Winthrop), Mike Young (Wofford), Travis Ford (Oklahoma State) and Florida AD Jeremy Foley.

The clinic commonly has about 30-40 coaches and all they do is talk basketball for nearly two straight days. It was honestly the event I was looking forward to more than anything else this summer.
