A female acquaintance recently asked me why I followed sports. Initially flustered by the elementary nature of the question, I replied with a measure of desperation, “Well, why do you read?”

To say the position of NBA head coach is in a state of flux would be like calling Kobe’s shot selection a bit excessive.
