I’ve arrived at the main gym for the Adidas Super 64. In line trying to get a pass was Memphis Coach John Calipari.

I’m expecting to see UCLA Coach Ben Howland, because several recruits he’s after are set to play at Rancho High here in Las Vegas.

I ran into UC Santa Barbara Coach Bob Williams, who loves the scene of four tournaments taking place around Vegas.

‘It’s phenomenal value,’ Williams said.
