The big sports story on NewsOK today was actually posted yesterday afternoon.

The breaking news story was overshadowed yesterday by the weather explosion we were about to see in the skies above central Oklahoma. Nevertheless, the story about former OU assistant basketball coach Oronde Taliaferro quickly became one of our most-viewed stories on the site.

I point this story out today for one simple purpose: Sometimes, we must pause and applaud good journalists doing good work.
