The Holsworth family of St. Johns avoided getting involved in Adreian Payne’s decision last month to put off the NBA for a year and return to Michigan State for his senior season. “There was no pressure from us,” Matt Holsworth said. Well, the 7-year-old member of the family may have expressed her opinion. Lacey Holsworth, Matt’s daughter, did send a text to Payne, reminding him that she can’t hug a TV. And yes, they were all happy to hear Payne say on April 28 that he’ll be back — to help the Spartans chase a national title and to help Lacey in her continuing fight against cancer.

"When I first met her, Lacey couldn't walk and could barely hold herself up. I wanted to help because I love kids," Payne told the Bradenton Herald. "I think this is something more athletes should do, be a role model and help these kids get through rough times."

The Racine Journal Times reports an interesting new name to come out for the Nets head coaching position: "What is surprising, though, is that the Nets also have put Scott Skiles on their short list. Skiles was fired by the Bucks in January after four-plus tumultuous seasons in Milwaukee. Under Skiles, the Bucks had constant internal issues and qualified for the playoffs just once."

Former Michigan State center Derrick Nix follows only three people on Twitter, and one of them happens to be fellow big man Jared Berggren, who spent four years going up against Nix while at Wisconsin. A friendship between them might have been unlikely, but began to blossom after the two were roommates while playing on the same team last month in the Portsmouth Invitation Tournament, a showcase for departing seniors hoping to play professionally.

Michigan State likely will be the Big Ten favorite entering next basketball season, but its league schedule won’t be one of the reasons. Tom Izzo’s relationship with the Big Ten “scheduling computer” may be a bit more strained after “one plays” for the 2013-14 season were announced Tuesday. The Spartans will play Nebraska and Minnesota at home only, and Purdue and Wisconsin on the road only.

An adjustment to block-charge guidelines is the most significant rules tweak to emerge from this week’s NCAA Men’s Basketball Rules Committee meetings in Indianapolis. If it and other changes are approved, as expected, on June 18 and put into effect next season, a defender will have to be set earlier, before an offensive player begins his upward motion to shoot or pass — not before the offensive player is in the air, as in the past.
