Despite not being an advocate of expanding the dance - I'm all about more post season tournaments.
Why? It's watered down, right? It makes no money, isn't worth putting on TV, etc. etc. etc.
Guess what: It's not about the money - it's not about the TV contracts - it's about the Players.
Coach Kerry Keating at Santa Clara said it best when lobbying to have his Broncos - along with conference player of the year John Bryant - play in one of the lower tier post-season tournaments: A kid of that talent deserves to play a little more basketball.
It's not about the lights. It's about getting some refs, a scoreboard, and playing in a game as a team. One last shot to play together and one last shot for a kid like John Bryant to experience post season play.
Keating knows a little about post season play. He was a guard for PJ Carlisimo's Seton Hall teams from 1989-1993. That has no real bearing on the story - just a fun fact.
