Broadway Porter Moser

The opening paragraphs of CBS' profile of Loyola-Chicago coach Porter Moser is a scene that could have been lifted right out of Broadway Danny Rose. Woody Allen as Danny, talent agent, serves TV dinner turkey to his eccentric "talent" on Thanksgiving. "It's just as good as the real thing," says the stuttering ventriloquist. Here's CBS:

The eight of them gathered in Porter Moser's spacious suite at the Westin on Wednesday night. Among this motley crew of coaches were middle-aged men you might have never heard of: John Gallagher from Hartford, Mike Martin from Brown, Chris Harriman from New Mexico, Dave Pauley from the University of Sciences in Philly.

A clan of coaching eccentrics from around the country, none of whom has found the kind of mainstream success that college basketball and the month of March sometimes afford for the more fortunate but not always the more deserving.
