Coaching great Pete Newell dies...http://rivals.yahoo.com/ncaa/basketball/news?slug=ap-obit-newell&prov=ap&type=lgns

BERKELEY, Calif. (AP)—Pete Newell, the Hall of Fame basketball coach who won an NCAA championship and Olympic gold medal and later tutored some of the game’s greatest big men, died Monday. He was 93.

His death was confirmed by the University of California, the school Newell coached to a national title in 1959. Newell, who had been living near San Diego, had a serious lung operation in 2005.

Newell coached for 14 years at San Francisco, Michigan State and California before doctors advised him to give it up because of the emotional toll. His final coaching job came in the 1960 Olympics, when he took a U.S. team led by Oscar Robertson, Jerry West and Jerry Lucas to a gold medal in Rome.

Newell later returned to prominence with his famous “big men” camps. He instructed some of the game’s greatest stars, including Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Bill Walton, Shaquille O’Neal and Ralph Sampson.

"Michigan’s win over the Bruins was its first against a top five team since 1997, and was the team’s first over a ranked opponent under Beilein."

Indiana AD wont admit it, but firing Bob Knight has been the biggest mistake that AD has ever made on behalf of that school.
