Zagoria Column: College, Pro Career of Maryland’s Len In Doubt
By Adam Zagoria of ZagsBlog Mark Turgeon’s near-term prospects as the head coach at Maryland — as well as the order of the 2012 NBA Draft — could hang on what the NCAA decides about a 7-foot-1, 225-pound man from the Ukraine. Olexiy “Alex” Len enrolled at Maryland in August and then made an impressive 10-minute appearance during Maryland’s March Madness Oct. 14. But at midnight that night, his 45-day window for practicing with the team expired and he is now waiting for the NCAA to rule on

Both sides made it clear last night that dealmaking time has arrived, and they were scheduled to try to tackle the thorny issue of the BRI (basketball-related income) split first thing in the morning.
