ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — Isaac Avilucea, a former New Mexico sports journalist who now covers crime and jurisprudence for a newspaper in New Jersey, took time out from his day job earlier this week to write an opinion piece about UNM men’s basketball coach Craig “Noodles” Neal.
Noodles, Avilucea wrote, is “an impasta.”
Rim shot!
For the record, it must be noted that, while pasta is a kind of noodle, noodles are not a kind of pasta.
But what kind of head coach is Noodles? The record’s not great, so far, if not quite that of an impasta – uh, impostor.
