Q: I'm watching the Bulls-Celts game -- can I nominate Vinny Del Negro for a new Pantheon Face? It's the Shooter from "Hoosiers," "I can't believe I haven't had a drink for 12 hours, and I'm a head coach" face.
-- Ryan, Weymouth, Mass.SG: Done and done! I had been watching Vinny for two weeks, trying to figure out where I'd seen that glazed, slightly terrified, I-might-pee-my-pants look on the sidelines, and you're right -- it's Shooter in "Hoosiers" right after Gene Hackman gets ejected and hands him the clipboard for the first time. Bingo. I demand we call him Vinny "Shooter" Del Negro from now on. The real shame is Derrick Rose has exceeded all expectations and looks like a potential franchise guy ... and he's being coached by "Shooter" instead of Mike D'Antoni. I can't get over that.

I really like Bill S., especially in doses this small.
What Bill doesn’t go into is how Reinsdorf the genius was pulling strings the whole time to get his man, the unknown but talented Vinnie del Negro, while sending the no-defense-having D’Antoni to Bulls’ archnemesis the Knicks.
You know Vinnie walked in and said, “I’ll coach defense, and I’ll also coach fast-break offense, and I’ll be really supportive with the kids…”
And Reinsdorf said in a soft, emotional voice, “Stop, please… You had me at ‘defense’…”
