Turkey is a great place to visit. Phenomenal food.

I wouldn't

I have a good friend who's son played for Illinois and played several years in Turkey. He had a good experience and avoided taxes. Turkey may have some negative situations, but basketball there is big and they treat the American players well.

If you are an American citizen, you still have to pay income taxes to the US though I am pretty sure.

If he lives in the US in the offseason, probably. If he completely moves overseas (and spends 330 days there), then I believe he is exempt.

I’d pay taxes to avoid 330 days a year in Turkey.

Marcus scored 14 points as Armored Athlete advanced in the Tournament.

Not a great game from Marcus (10pts),but Armored Athlete survives and advances to the next round.

They move on to face the NE bracket #1 seed Syracuse alumni team this next Saturday at 1pm. I believe the games from here on are televised on ESPN network channels.

Interesting game ending method used in the Tournament called the "Elam Ending". Clock turns off at 1st deadball under the 4 minute mark. 1st team to reach the leading teams score + 7 wins. Eliminates the intentional fouls needed to stop the clock and every game ends on a made bucket.

Wow, he played 32 minutes but, yeah, he will want to shoot better next game. 2-9 from the three.

Everyone on the their team, with the exception of Julian Gamble, looked bad in the game. Marcus forced up a lot of low percentage shots.

Still have to pay no matter how long you are abroad, but your first 108k or so is exempt.

Burchfield signs on to join Lithuanian pro team BC Juventus

Tot signs with a Slovakian team.

Pretty darn good...three guys from last season's team, one not even a starter, have signed professional contracts.

The fact that 2 of the 3 don't count as "U.S." players helps.

Sean Sheldon now working for the Spurs as a video and player development intern.

Great chance to learn from a great coaching staff down there. Good for him.

Same top french Pro A league as Terry and his Le Mans team. That will make for an interesting matchup.
