In a startling turn of events, college basketball has been swept by a wave of Microsoft's domination. No, not another software update monster, but the humble PowerPoint presentation. You read that right. The traditional playbook has been renounced by many, including the venerable Virginia coach Tony Bennett. Old-school hoops are being swapped out for high-tech slides. It's a whole new ball game, folks. In the 'good old days', the Bennett clan believed that classic leather-bound playbooks were protocol. Heck, Tony Bennett himself was raised on the cult of X's and O's. His father, Dick Bennett, a renowned Division III coach and a beacon of all things basketball in the 60's and 70's, carried his playbook chaplet everywhere. Fast forward to the present, and it looks like the reels have reversed. Tony, possibly influenced by his brief NBA stint, introduced his Bitter-Sweet Symphony in the form of PowerPoint presentations. He indeed redefines "slam dunk" in the meeting rooms. The switch raised more eyebrows than a Botox party in Beverly Hills. Was this cutting-edge methodology or merely an admission of an uncompromising generational gap? Furthermore, one of the popular reactions included an academically curious, "Will there be a pop quiz?" The Virginia coach has been unphased by the torrent of Sheldon Cooper level sarcasm raining down upon him. "We've moved beyond the days of chalk and blackboards. Even the game has changed," said Bennett, armed with a laser pointer. It is still unclear how the players are handling this trendy innovation, but one rookie anonymously claimed, "I never thought I would need an office suite to play basketball". Even in the highs and lows of an erratic season, Bennett has stayed committed to his computerized coaching methods. His practices include a unique blend of hoops and header animations. The father-son duo was known to take the Badgers to the Final Four with traditional playbooks; it remains to be seen whether the MS Office package will take the Cavaliers to unprecedented heights. Till then, let's just hope that the PowerPoint doesn't crash in the middle of a strategic breakdown. The horror of 'technical difficulties'. Surely, being swiped by an opponent mid-dribble seems less stressful now, doesn't it? As college basketball plunges into this unprecedented era of digital playbooks, only time will tell if the game's future lies in the three-pointer or the three-slide PowerPoint presentation. However, one thing is for certain, the echo of "New Slide or New Strategy?" will continue to reverberate in basketball courts and meeting rooms alike.
