Three To Go

Former Lipscomb basketball coach Don Meyer posted career win #900 Saturday.

If you don't know the story, read the articles from ESPN and Spots Illustrated. Buster Olney and Grant Wahl give the chase for Bob Knight's record the professional treatment it deserves, far better than I could.

So we're in the eleventh season since Lipscomb joined Division 1. Five years ago, I asked which would come first -- Lipscomb beats a BCS-conference team or Don Meyer breaks the all-time coaching wins record. On December 28th, Coach Meyer goes for win #901, one short of Bob Knight. That same day, Lipscomb plays at Indiana. And even better -- the senior point guard for Northern State is from Bloomington.

Weird.
