According to the Houston Roundball Review, the Houston Comets are going to have a press conference on Wednesday, January 31, to announce that the proposed sale of the franchise to Hilton Koch has been approved and will go through. The Women’s Hoops blog has more on this.
According to HRR, the timing of this announcement (which has apparently been delayed twice) is important because free agent signings begin February 1. The Comets also can’t hire their new coach until the sale has been completed. In other words, it’s time to get this done and move on. Stay tuned.
OT: I heard today Molly Ivins was hospitalized (in Austin, I think) in her fight against breast cancer. Charles, if you have any Austin contacts who can find out if she can receive messages & flowers, would you publish and pass on the info?
Thanks.
