Let’s forget the green room for now & just enjoy the games

Posted Feb 1, 2016
Roy Williams’ rant about ESPN's "Green Room" feature touched on a concern I've had for several years. Too many people in the media put too much focus on the NBA when they are covering college basketball. I’m not saying there is no place at all for that discussion, but I firmly believe the time devoted to draft speculation is well out of proportion with the interest that college basketball fans have in the subject.
