A/N: What's up people? This is my attempt at some YGO fanfiction, combined with something else I enjoy, college basketball. I know there will probably be some skeptics out there about this idea, but hey, it could be the first of its kind as far as YGO goes here on Well…here's the prologue…please review and let me know what you think about it.
Disclaimer: I don't own Yu-gi-oh, the NCAA or any of its member institutions. I think that should cover enough ground.

Kansas Assistant Colby accepts coaching job at Domino City.
In college basketball news today, Kansas assistant Nathan Colby accepted a job offer from Domino City University to become its new head men's basketball coach. One couldn't ask for a tougher assignment for his first head coaching job. Colby must attempt to rebuild a program that has seen only one conference championship and an NCAA Tournament appearance in twenty years. In the last five seasons, the Saints have gone 13-58, one of the worst marks in college basketball.
Nathan walked around the arena, getting a feel for his new "home". The gym was on the small side, seating around only 5,000, but was in beautiful shape. Much of the stadium was covered in the school's blue and grey colors. Nathan looked up at a banner up near the ceiling. It had the following inscription on it:
Domino City Saints
1985 Metro-8 Conference Champions
NCAA Tournament Appearance
24-9 Record
Coach: Kelly Taylor
"Kelly Taylor? That name sounds familiar." He thought to himself. "Isn't one of the old assistants named Taylor?" These thoughts were cut short by a visitor.
"Coach Colby?"
The black-haired man turned to see a young woman who appeared to be about the age of a college student. "Yes, can I help you?"
"Mr. Pegasus would like to meet with you, he said it's about your team's schedule." Nathan couldn't help but gaze over the woman, who had long black hair and sapphire eyes.
"Of course, could you direct me to his office? I'm still getting used to this place."
The woman smiled. "I guess you're not in Kansas anymore, are you?"
Nathan smiled back. "No, I'm not."
Deep down inside, he knew he finally had a place to call his own. Domino City was his home now, and this empty arena would be his sanctuary. That's how he wanted it. And that's how he hoped it would stay.
