Look at this. Michael dell sad dough gets the perfect set up and drills the game winner. The flyers win threetwo. The bruins won today so the flyers remain four points back of the wild card spot. The sixers made a ton of trades continuing to tank. Thats the one thing general manager sam hinkie is actually getting right. The team is still losing. Late in the game theres stale chance former sixer with the low down. He had 31 points and 14 boards. Any former sixers who leaves ends up doing worse. They lose. Theyre Third Straight loss. Howard eskin is live in clearwater, florida tonight. Howard the sixers organization clearly doesnt want to win. What do you think of all the moves hinkie made this week . Well its obvious they didnt want to win from day one. However, i spoke to three general managers this week and all of them not only dont understand they think its crazy to do what sam hinkie is doing with this basketball team. Basically they set the reset button and starting over again. I dont know how many times you can do that. But when you trade players you know what you have and im not a big Michael Carter williams fan he would have been a nice player, but when you trade you dont know what youre going to get in the draft. Youre trading away what you know for what you dont know. Theres not nitron believe its going get better. If the sixers and the fans expect to get free agents, what free agents will come to the sixers when all theyre going to have for years is a bunch of Young Players with little if no chance to get anywhere deep in the nba playoffs. So what theyve done is start over again. They backed it up another couple of years. All right. Well talk some baseball. Im here at phillies spring training. I sat down with mike schmidt.

No trades yet although i know the phillies from what i was told talking specifically to one team but ruben amaro says ryan howard will be our starting first baseman come opening night. Well see. Also Darren Dalton stopped by today. Good news from him. The doctor told him his mri showed he is cancer free. Mike schmidt is obviously a hall of famer the best third baseman that ever played the game and hes now a coach for the entire spring training which has not happened before. He will be here for the whole run. All right. So i sat down with mike schmidt and i said mike, how do you like it so far . I feel right now probably more connected in a good way to phillies than ive ever been. Do you like teaching, number one, and do you like teaching offense, the hitting part of it or the fielding part of it . I like teaching tremendously. I love it. Actually so far this spring ive had i would say four days of coaching guys individually, coaching speaking to guys in groups three or four, five. I love when i connect with somebody. I love when i see somebody go, man, that feels good or you could tell when a hitter is enjoying a particular mechanic that i may have shared with him or asked him to try. You can also tell when it doesnt feel good to them. You know with me and i dont want to sound like im bragging when i say this but with me i got to kind of get over that hurdle of the guys being a little nervous or a little afraid to approach me. You know what i mean . Get over that and thats challenging for me as well. Is it easier to teach young kids or the veterans . Oh, much easier to teach the young kids. As it was much easier to teach young kids when i played than it was to teach me. I was almost unapproachable. Chase is a little bit of sort of me when i played. He likes to go off on his own and he likes to, you know, take his time and hit at his own speed and go somewhere its kind of right. He doesnt like a lot of people around. I call eight session. Base hit to left field. Can Dominic Brown throw he wont get a chance. Is it hard for to you watch team whether you call it in transition rebuild or a team thats just not good enough right now . Not at all. Much of the same from a coachs perspective. I think its very challenging and fun and interesting to come to camp like this where coaches are needed, you know . Were needed. I mean, you know, we can truly affect the out come of the phillies season this year. Im not making any predictions. Championships are build one bat at a time. One game at a time. One day at a time. Players being healthy. Stranger things have happened in sports. Im not predicting championships by any means but im predicting a good young team that will start opening day and play hard. Well they need a lot more Young Players that are good players. Thats what they need. All right. Tomorrow the veterans everybody is due to report, however the first workout for everybody is not until tuesday. Tomorrow are physicals. Ryan howard is scheduled to be here. Should be here. But well see when he talks to the media to talk about all the things that have been going on and ruben amaro the a one point saying ryan, youre better off somewhere else. Chase utley well hear from chase utley and hell talk to us tomorrow and well have that tomorrow on the news at 5 00, 6 00 and 10 00 oclock. All right, sean, back to you. Im in my short sleeves. It was only about 79 degrees today here in clearwater. Dont do that. Dont say that to me. All right. Thats heartbreaking. Thanks howard. A lot going on national until sports.

To college after winning seven straight temple stumbled against 21st first smu them looked to bounce back against tulsa and get their 20th win on the season. First half the owls drive to the basket and get out of here. He saves the rock. Starts the fast break and Markell Curtis finishes witness easy dunk. Temple falls for the second game in a row 5539. Lasalle in overtime against st. Louis. The he gets the rock in the corner right here. And he hits the tray ball. St. Louis is a fivepoint lead at that point and it was their largest in the entire game. The explorers fall skate64. Theyre now 1512 on the season. Despite that loss the explorers are starting to play consistent basketball. Thats largely because of the play of jordan price. Auburn transfer has already become the leader and go to player for a resurgent lasalle team. Price for three. Jordan price starting to put the explorers on his back. Price averaging over 17 a game and has exploded over the last seven. This is registered sophomores first year witness squad and hes doing whatever it takes to get lasalle to the next level. Whatever my coaches need me to do thats my mentality. I just want to win basically. Whatever the winner plays ill do it for my coaches and my team. Life has a lot of disappointments and jordan came here very motivated not to disappoint anyone and to do his part and the biggest compliment i could give him hes done everything that he said he would, and i think thats a lot. Price transferred from auburn to lasalle because perfect fit. He said the school immediately felt like home and last year only helped him grow. Now hes their stop scoring go to guy in the clutch. Maybe thats why he likely to he knows what we keep it simple. Jordan if youre open please shoot the ball f you want to tack the basket attack the basket. If you draw two people we have a saying once two people guard you your job is done. Get the ball to the open guy innocents how simple we want to play. Lasalle starting to play consistent basketball. The only chance they had get to the inform caa tournament to make a big run in the atlantic 10 tournament. Jordan leadership and new found comfort might be lasalles fighting chance. Everything wants to make it to the tournament. We cant look past any teams. Every game will be a gritty game. We definitely can make a run. I felt that sin the beginning of the year. But now its becoming a little more realistic because our guys are more comfortable and playing better and i think jordan is leading that movement.
