Duane Ticknor To Be New Fort Wayne Mad Ants Head Coach

in D-League Coaching News
The Fort Wayne Mad Ants decided to open up their head coaching job following a less-than-stellar season and, despite interviewing interim coach Steve Gansey for the position, Jeff Potter decided to add a bit more experience to the sideline.
It would have been great to see what Gansey could have done with a full offseason, but new hire Duane Ticknor certainly shouldn't hurt the program. He's been one of the premier minor league coaches for quite some time, dating back to his days with the Black Hills Posse of the IBA, and has plenty of experience in the D-League as a former head coach of the Dakota Wizards and Sioux Falls Skyforce.
This is Hank E. Franklin. He's apparently a Texas Legends prospect and one of my newest Twitter followers. Might be a story to keep an eye on for next year -- and if anyone wants to sponsor him for us, Ridiculous Upside will allow you to use our likeness (pending a talk with our lawyer).
Next Stop For Rashad McCants: Philippines Basketball Association, But For How Long?
by Wendell Maxey on May 6, 2012 7:44 AM EDT
The 2002 McDonald's All-American basketball game roster was filled with a number of players destined for the NBA, some of whom are now keeping their teams' championship hopes alive this postseason.
Carmelo Anthony, Amar'e Stoudemire, Chris Bosh and J.J. Redick have all come a long way since then. These days they are trying to make it beyond the first round of the NBA playoffs in the Eastern Conference.
And then there is Rashad McCants.
He was part of that 2002 squad. That's about the extent of his common bond with Anthony, Stoudemire, Bosh and Redick these days.
Dumars, Pistons On Summer League Recruiting Trail In Spain With Singler
by Wendell Maxey on May 4, 2012 7:00 AM EDT
After the way Kyle Singler played on Thursday night, Joe Dumars might be reconsidering being initially upset about the Detroit Pistons draftee opting to finish out the season in Spain.
Instead of Singler putting up numbers for Real Madrid like he did early last month against Unicaja Malaga when the 6-foot-8 forward went for a well-rounded 13 points and 6 rebounds in 23 minutes, the 2011 second-round pick fell into early foul trouble against Regal Barcelona and pretty much disappeared from there.
Not only did Real Madrid lose to Real, 86-83, but Singler only finished with three points.
Dumars had to feel like he was back in Detroit watching his own team struggle.

Will Winning A EuroChallenge Title Lead Pops Mensah-Bonsu To Another NBA Shot?
by Wendell Maxey on Apr 29, 2012 7:00 AM EDT
Pops Mensah-Bonsu has had an on-off again relationship with the NBA and sticking around the league.
But if he keeps playing like he has this season for Besiktas Milangaz in the Turkish Basketball League and even today at the EuroChallenge 2012 Final Four Final, the 6-foot-9 forward just might end up back on the radar of some front offices in the NBA this offseason.
At this point in his career and 28-years old, it could be his last shot to make it count in the NBA.
The alternative?
Keep handling his business overseas like he has this season in Istanbul, Turkey.
