Sunday's WAC basketball world

Brian McInnis serves up a UH basketball recruiting update.

Rainbow Warrior hoops and football related, it's truly amazing what Miah Ostrowski accomplished this sports year. Stephen Tsai reports that the young man is already a starter in spring practice at the slotback position and this soon after coming in during the basketball season and earning the job at the point. The point, not shooting guard or wing but running Gib Arnold's offense.

Daniel Lyght reports that Rodney Terry's mantra for his players will be 'D up' -- that or else.

Marek Warszawski covers questions about Rodney Terry's hire. PTW will take this exception: Coach Reggie got an interview at UNLV because of his connection and that of Jerry Tarkanian's to Vegas basketball. It's not like a number of ADs have him on any short list. Plus, Ernie Kent wasn't successful enough in order to remain at Oregon (with all the funding available there) so why should it be deemed he would/could win in Fresno? Mike Dunlap is the most intriguing of this trio but it's beginning to seem that like he going to be a career assistant, albeit a highly respected one. Each search is simply an apples and oranges matter.

Joey Hislop notes that 6-foot-9 Utah State commit Casey Oliverson has receive yet another honor: 2011 Herald Journal All-Valley Player of the Year.

Joe Nocera, who usually covers economic matters for the New York Times, doesn't understand the logic -- or lack thereof -- displayed by the NCAA.

We don't mean to be glib but Joe has plenty of knowledge and experience in the real world -- it's he who has the gold, rules.
