Villanova HC Kevin Willard: "I'm gonna fire my staff."
Lauren Shehadi: "Not now."
Willard: "Yeah, I am. Because we've given up 8 points on underneath out-of-bounds defense. The only thing I'm gonna do is fire them and get a new staff." #MarchMadness
Maxx continues to be on track in his recovery and if anything is ahead of schedule according to his surgeon Dr Neal El Attrache. Maxx remains on track to return during the offseason program & will undoubtedly return as the dominant game wrecker he has been these past 7 seasons.
"I hate it, but I'll be the first to sign up for the 2028 Olympics and the next World Baseball Classic... I don't think I'm walking away. I guess I am, but I'll be back for the semifinals and finals to enjoy the moment with the guys." - Tarik Skubal

Chargers have requested Ravens defensive coordinator Zach Orr to interview for their vacant DC job, per source. Orr spent the past two seasons in charge of Baltimoreโs defense and previously worked alongside former Chargers DC Jesse Minter.
Now that the Ravens have hired Minter as their head coach, LA is looking to Baltimore for its potential next DC.

The #Ravens and long-time decorated head coach John Harbaugh are parting ways after days of discussion, per The Insiders.
Major decision in Baltimore.
Roquan Smith was extremely thoughtful and introspective at the Ravens postgame podium in Pittsburgh:
"Play in and play out, if your job is to do this, why can't you do this play in and play out? Including myself. That's something we have to do if we ever want to get over the hump. I don't truly know what it is and I'm searching for those answers as well. ... You can't keep saying the same thing year in and year out: 'Oh, use this as motivation for next year.' Next year's not promised. Tomorrow's not promised."
