Simply Basketball: "Mr. Get-it-done Zander Jimenez earned all-tournament honors at classicatdamien. His ability to affect the game without scoring the ball caught the eyes of the Classic committee."
Jimenez is a 6-foot-3 guard attending Salesian Prep who should be signed up by the United States military forces because he can negate opponents.

Bryan Rooney: (writing about his two children) "One of the best parts of coaching is sharing experiences with these two amazing humans. Also, one very important family rule = Mandatory dessert on the way home from any scouting or recruiting trips!"
Family is all!
We would love to see Marc J. Spears do a national feature on the Rooney family -- Bryan at Cal State East Bay (currently 9-2) and Brendan Rooney at Menlo College (currently 12-1). Quality people come from a quality family and produce quality children who become quality people.

WEEK 8: HoopDirt.com Coach of the Week presented by Just Play Solutions:
- NCAA D2: Bryan Rooney – Cal State East Bay
- Weekly record (overall): 1-0 (9-2)
- Past week’s results: 77-68 W at San Francisco State
Highlights: "Cal State East Bay downed San Francisco State on Sunday to push their winning streak to seven. The Pioneers are also a perfect 5-0 in California Collegiate Athletic Association, and sit alone atop the league in first place. What makes their undefeated league record even more impressive is that all five of the their CCAA wins have come on the road. This season, Rooney’s team has also defeated two Top 25 opponents, as they beat #4 Cal State San Bernardino, and #11 Point Loma."
