Lang: "And the Best Thing about France and Russia is that neither country has an extradition treaty with the United States!"

In the latest "Dear Diary" entry from USA U21 Basketball, we learn that Coach Joanne P. (Bite me!) McCallie gave each player a homework assignment! And, no, the assignment wasn't to study the playbook. Instead, she assigned the players to research the food and culture of the regions they'll be visiting and report back to the rest of the team. Of course, every class has a teacher's pet . . . Courtney Paris wanted to know if she could "do a Power Point presentation"!

The mystery-authored Diary entries make for good reading, especially Days 3 & 4, which include Q & As with four of the players, including Maryland's own Laura Harper.
