I wish him the best in the NBA. I started rewatching NBA games because of him! It was great to talk with him before the Central Mich game this year, and be apart of starting the "Ja-son Preston!" chant at that game.

I would feel more your pain if the article had been written in Ohio. I'm also not dismissing that the writer may have referenced University of Ohio in front of Preston "so you end up at the University of Ohio..." who didn't bother to correct him, but properly referenced the university when he spoke, "When I was at Ohio, Saul...." -- in which case the writer will just roll.

You're reinforcing my point. Yes, it's totally understandable that the reporter would make the mistake. That it either was missed by copy editors and fact checkers (to the extent that they still exist after all the cutbacks at the LA Times) says a lot about the state of journalism in this country. This is supposedly a "newspaper of record" and they can't staff up enough to get the basics right. It's a trivial error in a minor story but it symbolizes a lot more.

Well, at Marshall we called WVU, the University of Southern Pennsylvania! On a more serious note, I wonder how many times Indiana University gets referred to as the University of Indiana, and how Hoosier fan boards react in such situations.

And yes, I'm a dinosaur still getting the paper delivered each day, perhaps the last one in all of Licking County. Just a few examples (not even including the grammar/spelling/factual errors) in the past month or so: 1. While reading page 3 in the front section on March 23 I started experiencing deja vu. Thinking I already read the four articles plus the summary of other stories, I pulled out page 3 in the front section on March 22. True enough, the two pages had the same stories and headlines in the same layout on consecutive days. 2. A headline running across the top of page 3, front section, on April 10: "More civilians flee east Ukraine after deadly strain tation strike". Strain tation? 3. April 14 edition included the Dispatch's first page of its front section. The second page in the same front section? A page from the sports section of the Detroit Free Press. I'm a graduate of Ohio University's school of journalism although I switched to a career in education 30 years ago. I still enjoy the work the Columbus Dispatch does, being a watchdog of local government, big corporations, politicians, etc. . . I understand the dynamics that have eroded print media over the past few decades. But, like Recovering Journalist, I find it unsettling to see the lack of professionalism coming from newsrooms.

When Clear Channel bought up a bunch of Columbus radio stations, the "local" programming aired from Cleveland and even Pittsburgh. Made me say "I hate iHeartRadio." Anyway, back to the Preston article, his vision on the court is one thing we sorely missed this past season. Sears was good at the mechanics of running the point but Preston's ability to see things before they happen is something you just can't teach. We will get by. We will get by. We will get by. We will survive.
