awesome. I'm sure Campus Crusade is loving this
oh wait, they sure are
Quote : | "Athletes in Action, a ministry of Campus Crusade for Christ, works with athletes and coaches to use the unique platform of sport to help people around the world with questions of faith. The most famous aspect of Athletes in Action is probably its touring basketball teams. These teams are generally composed of former star players in college basketball who for various reasons were unable to hold a position on a team at a professional level, but some just see basketball as a way to minister to others." |

Obviously not a home run hire and our recruiting will likely struggle in the short term. Overall guy has more credentials than Smart, Cronin, Marshall, or Pastner. Hopefully he can keep the freshman from transferring. 4/5/2011 3:12:21 PM |

Well, I for one am glad this is over. This shitty bball program is lucky to get anyone to coach it. Yet, in 5 years when we fire this guy, everyone will still think that we have some great program and we should be able to pull in a great hire! Wake up! We fucking suck! We have sucked for 20+ years! We are a cellar dweller ACC team! That's reality 4/5/2011 3:15:24 PM |
