I'm back from the 2005 Northern Trust Institutional Client Conference in Chicago, where I spoke on Friday about "Current Trends in Securities Litigation and Enforcement."  For the record, Coach K was not present at this conference, which I guess is understandable since he can't be expected to speak at every securities-related conference, and since I'm sure he is busily preparing for his keynote address at the upcoming Sarbanes-Oxley Conference & Exposition. 

He'd better be, because the conference's promoters are now sending out these breathless fliers proclaiming "Coach K Has Built Some Of The Most Effective Teams In History--Now Imagine What He Could Do For You And Your Team..."

Imagine! (Cue John Lennon piano music....)

You may say I'm a dreamer,
but I'm not the only one,
I hope some day you'll accept Coach K's Sarbanes-Oxley wisdom,
And your company, will be well run.
