(What this had to do with college basketball I was never able to figure out). At the end of the piece, Al made a statement to the effect of he was sure every women in America would like to live like the wife in this tale for at least one or two days. I don't know if NBC's switch-board lit-up, but I was sure offended by this obviously sexist statement. I think Mr. Maguier should stick to commenting on basketball. At least he knows a little, if not much, about that. As far as knowing the secret desires of the entire female population of this country, I will look for other sources rather than an ex-coach. But then again, what can one expect from someone who later in the game called a player a Michalangelo for having the smarts to call a time-out when he was laying on the floor and would have been called for a travel if he had moved. *** REPLACE THIS LINE WITH YOUR MESSAGE ***
