These were the staples of the exhilarating Denver Nuggets' NBA franchise-record 57-win regular season. George Karl kept with that theme Wednesday, sharing the credit far and wide after being named the league's Coach of the Year for the first time in his quarter century as an NBA head coach.

LOUIS (AP) — Just days removed from the start of fall practice in 2011-12, Rick Majerus needed an assistant coach — fast. Jim Crews had 24 hours to decide. "He said, 'I think we're going to win a lot of games, we're going to eat well and we're going to laugh a lot,'" Crews remembered. "A great trifecta." Saint Louis hired Crews on Friday, stripping hi...

(AP) — Saint Louis is carrying on the memory of Rick Majerus the best way it knows how: by advancing in the NCAA tournament.

Some things are bigger than basketball, and Crews' respect for Majerus is one of them. Still, he sees his predecessor's imprints on all the little things his veteran players did right in beating VCU in the Atlantic 10 title game. Th...
