The 18-year-old shot and killed in today's shootout with police was arrested in early March on car theft charges. He was released on his own recognizance over the DA's office's objections, and was given reporting conditions. commercialappeal.com/story/news/loc…

COLUMN: More than 20 years ago, John Calipari was a big reason Memphis basketball’s longstanding series with Arkansas ended. It’s admittedly far-fetched, but he should restart it now that he’s in Fayetteville.

New Memphis DL coach Spence Nowinsky on leaving Ohio, where he was DC, for this job:

'It was, in a lot of ways, a no-brainer. And there's not a lot of times I can say that, in my career.'

Memphis is bringing back 3 of its top 4 WRs from last year in Roc Taylor, Koby Drake and Demeer Blankumsee. It'll probably be the best WR room Seth Henigan has had at Memphis.

And it's already paying dividends in recruiting.

It’s amazing, in retrospect, that within the same span of time in which UConn won 6 national titles in 25 years, it also finished 3rd, 5th, 6th, 5th, 8th, 9th and 5th in the league during 7 seasons as a member of the AAC.

PJ Haggerty is hungry for more. More exposure. More professional development.

But, most importantly, more wins.

“I'll do anything just to win.”

It’s after midnight at FedExForum. Marc Gasol, Tony Allen and Jason March are shooting the breeze about the good ol’ days while their kids play basketball where they once did.

It was a special night in Memphis.

Mike Conley said, for Marc Gasol's jersey retirement ceremony, he arrived in Memphis around 6pm today after playing for Minnesota in Phoenix last night. He'll fly out in the next hour or so in order to be in Los Angeles for tomorrow's shootaround ahead of the TWolves-Lakers game.

Caught up with Daryl Johnston before Showboats-Brahmas, and he was pretty blunt about the attendance numbers.

'It's not what we want it to be...We definitely need to take a long hard look at what's going on here in Memphis.'

After the initial shock wears off, this is probably best for both father and son.

Penny Hardaway, for the first time at Memphis, won’t have to make playing time decisions for one of his sons, and Ashton can develop away from the spotlight and scrutiny of being the coach’s son.
