Sam Mitchell, a survivor

Apologies for a brief non-hockey entry, but I just wanted to point out Mike Grange's excellent profile of Toronto Raptors head coach Sam Mitchell from today's paper. Definitely worth a read if you're even only moderately interested in the team.

(And speaking of the 'does preseason matter' musings we've had in hockey, you have to wonder what the NBA team's 7-1 exhibition record means for the Raptors' chances this season.)
