ASU Men’s Basketball head coach Herb Sendek talks like a pipsqueak girl. It’s unsettling, really. But the former North Carolina State head man definitely has cojones. After leading the Wolfpack to five straight NCAA tourneys, Sendek left his lofty perch in the college-basketball stratosphere called the Atlantic Coast Conference to take the reins of the ever-troubled Sun Devils program. Dumb move? Many thought so until a few weeks ago, when Sendek’s squeaky-clean Devils broke through with a jackstomping of then-17th-ranked Xavier. All good, but we’ll see if Herb’s boys can pass the real test when they open Pac-10 play against the Oregon Ducks.
