The Day That Was: June 5, 2007

We here at Hit Some Dingers took a long weekend, because we've been waiting by the phone wondering if Billy Donovan's going to come coach our 3-on-3 team. That being said...

We couldn't have said it better:

"What I called is that you're going to see more black faces, but there ain't no English going to be coming out. ... [It's about] being able to tell [Latin players] what to do -- being able to control them. Where I'm from, you can't control us."
