Ricky Stuart is one of 18 coaches who promised, and ultimately failed, to take Cronulla to the promised land.But should his replacement Shane Flanagan be the one to finally lead them there, if they topple Melbourne in Sundays NRL decider, then Stuart will only be glad for him.Rumours of bad blood between Stuart and Flanagan had circled in recent years, and it reached fever pitch when Stuart criticised the Sharks style of play a fortnight ago.But the newly crowned Dally M coach of the year rejected any suggestion of ill-feeling between the pair, and said any perceived animosity was made up by the media.Theres nothing in the relationship with Shane and I. Id love to see Shane win a competition and experience it as a young coach. I think itd be great for him, Stuart said.I have a soft spot for Cronulla in regards to their growth and development as a club. Im friends with (chairman) Damien Keogh and Im friends with their deputy chairman.Theres a relationship there with the club. I would love to see them win a grand final.However, Stuart admitted he had a foot in both camps for this years grand final, having also grown a strong friendship with Melbourne counterpart Craig Bellamy.In an association that stems from their playing days at Canberra, the duo are renowned for their post-game tradition of bringing a beer into the losers sheds after their teams clash.Stuart, who made the finals once in his four seasons in the Shire before dramatically leaving in 2010, said he was torn on who he wanted to see win on Sunday.I know what it means for the Cronulla supporters in being involved in the game this weekend. Its something that theyve hung for, for many years. Itd be lovely if it happened, he said.Lovely for Shane, Paul Gallen and Mick Ennis. Mick whos retiring and Paul who hasnt won a competition before.But for Craig Bellamy (too), whos my mate. I cant say it any more honestly. I havent got a team to win. I just know theres a great feeling and storyline there for either group of people.Swell Spectrum Collection .Y. - General manager Billy King says the Brooklyn Nets are looking to add a big man and confirmed the team worked out centre Jason Collins, who would become the first openly gay active NBA player if signed.

SWell Stone Collection Bottle .Y. -- Leading 3-0 with only 11:25 left, the Colorado Avalanche committed a seemingly meaningless penalty to give the New York Islanders a power play.

The thing we wanted to do the best was secure a series this year starting at home with a bona-fide NCAA tournament team. We were able to get that later than we wanted.Dayton returns the favor next season with a visit to the 3,500-seat home of the Gaels.For the Flyers, who are knocking on the door in the AP poll, the game could be meaningful, but Millers rotation is down two key players from an athletic frontcourt. That trusts even more of the burden on battle-tested backcourt mates Scoochie Smith and Charles Cooke.Flyers forwards Josh Cunningham and Kendall Pollard are sidelined indefinitely and Miller has used sophomore forward Sam Miller and junior guard Darrell Davis for increased minutes to stretch his rotation.The Gaels are fighting for the type of consistent national prominence Archie Miller and the Flyers -- whose senior class stands 17 wins shy of the school record for victories by one class -- have achieved. Randy Bennett, the all-time wins leader at Saint Marys College, has driven thhe program to consistent success even as Gonzaga lords over the West Coast Conference.ddddddddddddThe 2016-17 program is chasing an NCAA Tournament appearance after missing the field despite 29 wins last season. The engine at both ends of the court is point guard Emmett Naar. He controls the offense and dominates the ball for a club averaging only 6.0 turnovers per game. Saint Marys relies on balanced scoring and perimeter shooting. Keeping the tempo in their favor wont be easy against Daytons in-your-shirt pressing defense.Naar believes the difference in this years team is depth. Even in scoring 110 points to get to 2-0 on Wednesday night in pounding Prairie View A&M, Naar was focused on balance.I dont think anyone scored 20, which is pretty good, Naar added. Having a deep bench like that is amazing. For the other team its more guys to worry about, more guys to scout. It just adds a lot to our team.The only previous meeting between these teams was a Dayton win in 1957. But Bennett brought his 2013 team to this venue for the 2013 tournament play-in game.All youve got to do is look them up. Theyve had great success. (Bennett) does a great job. They return just about everybody from a team a year ago that won the regular-season WCC, said Archie Miller.Up next for SMC are games against San Jose State and UAB before the Nov. 30 visit to Pac-12 neighbor Stanford.Dayton plays Nebraska at 8:30 p.m. Thanksgiving night in the first round Wooden Legacy tournament in Anaheim, Calif.
