My Favorite Articles of the Week

So apparently the college coaching carousel is beginning again. Just like when Roy Williams left Kansas for North Carolina. Then Bill Self left Illinois for Kansas. Then Bruce Weber left Southern Illinois for Illinois. And on and on again. This time it’s John Calipari leaving Memphis for Kentucky. Now Memphis has to find a new coach. Why doesn’t anybody want to stay in one place and build a national power instead of moving to an already established one. Wouldn’t it be more gratifying to build your own powerhouse instead of living off of what other coaches have built? I suppose these coaches have no sense of entrepreneurship or loyalty.

I didn’t find too many great articles this week in the personal finance blogosphere, but here are the ones that I found helpful and entertaining.

Jim at Bargaineering reviews a book about your credit score. Your credit score is one of the most important, if not the most important, aspects of your personal finance health.

The 2009 MLB season is so close I can taste it. All the starting pitchers are making their final starts of spring training. The weather is warming up, minus that bit of snow last weekend. Just a great time of year.
