When is a retread hire not a retread hire?
When the Cleveland Cavaliers hire Mike Brown.
The Cavaliers made it official Wednesday morning, bringing back Brown as coach after a three-year absence. He will receive a reported $20 million over five years and should have a heavy hand in a rebuilding project that already is well under way.
Saturday played host to the Final Four and NBA players were spectators just like everyone else.
The ninth seeded Wichita State Shockers played against the number one overall seed Louisville Cardinals in the early game.
