STOCK WATCH: Fast-Glance Week in Review
Feb. 25, 2008 | Dick's Stock Watch provides a fast-glance review of the past week in the world of sports, charting whose stock is up and whose is down.
STOCK UP
•Tennessee will be the new number one in men's college basketball after upsetting previously-unbeaten Memphis.
•Tiger Woods showed why he is the dominant force in golf by winning the Accenture Match Play event, beating Stewart Cink in the final.
•Red Sox manager Terry Francona was given a contract extension. He truly deserved it after leading the Red Sox to the world championship.
•Texas A&M women's coach Gary Blair earned his 500th career win. John Calipari of Memphis got career victory number 400 while Michigan State's Tom Izzo reached the 300-win mark.
•The Rockets and Lakers have been hot lately.
STOCK DOWN
•The Kelvin Sampson situation has finally reached a conclusion as he accepted a buyout from Indiana. My friends, I once again ask why Sampson had to use any illegal phone calls to get kids to play at Indiana.
•The Miami Heat have lost 11 straight games.
•The Philadelphia Flyers have 10 straight Ls on the resume.
•The Detroit Red Wings have just one win in their last nine games.
