Guerrero Named Chair Of Division I Basketball Committee

Bumped. GO BRUINS. -N

The NCAA just released this statement:

Dan Guerrero, athletics director at the University of California, Los Angeles, has been appointed chair of the Division I Men’s Basketball Committee for the 2009-10 academic year."

“It is truly an honor to follow in the footsteps of my colleagues who have previously served the NCAA membership as chair of this prestigious committee,” said Guerrero. “Their extraordinary leadership has helped to ensure that this great sporting event remains at the pinnacle for generations of college basketball fans everywhere. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed my time on the committee and, as chair, will endeavor to listen, lead and embrace this wonderful opportunity.”

Hopefully this doesn't take away from any of his time at the helm of the best intercollegiate athletic program. Still, a great pick to lead the national committee...apparently, the same sentiments are shared by the EVP of the NCAA (ah, too many acronyms!)

“Dan is an excellent choice to chair the Division I Men’s Basketball Committee in 2009-10,” said Tom Jernstedt, executive vice president of the NCAA. “The NCAA has been fortunate to have had chairs of this committee who have had tremendous integrity and vision, and Dan certainly keeps that tradition alive. His leadership skills, energy level and passion for college basketball will serve the membership and the Division I men’s basketball championship well."

i have really

been quite impressed with Guerrero recently. It seems like only yesterday when everyone around me questioned his ability to pick out talent and select the leaders for UCLA’s athletic teams. Now it seems that his own leadership acumen is being recognized by the NCAA.

Anyone know if this may have implications for UCLA basketball, or more importantly, timmeh’s basketball program? Or is this primarily a tournament related position?

I was one who questioned DG

but that was when the football program was leaderless and it appeared that Mr. Guerrero was indifferent. That was obviously a misconception on my part.

He leads with “Listen.” LISTEN, of all things! What’s more, he will.

This is unheard of. Nobody listens these days. Lots of jabbering, posturing, and pontificating, but listening? Phttt. Please.

I’m really starting to like this Dan guy.

”...tremendous integrity and vision…”

That is from the NCAA. (Did the wind just change?)

One thing we can already expect

is all the conspiracy theorists to come out of woodwork if UCLA gets seeded out West (even if we deserve it).

Recusing oneself

DG has been on the seeding committee before, and must leave the room when his school is being discussed.

But Nestor is right – that won’t stop the conspiracy theorists.

He actually has to leave whenever any Pac 10 team is being discussed

He presents the case for the Pac 10 schools then recuses himself while the rest of the committee discusses it/

Very good to know

Didn’t realize that applied for all Pac-10 teams.
