I've followed the mbb program closely since I entered OU (yes, Administration, that's the name of the school ... nothing wrong with Ohio U.) in '91 and, I'm sorry, the program officially died on 4/1/11.
Christian, who was too good for Kent State, is now coming to Athens. He QUIT his latest job because he was about to be fired. Or, he was SCARED of competing with the big boys of the Big 12 and decided to exit stage left.
The idea of taking a someone like that, a guy who is sloppy seconds from Kent, is beyond pathetic.
I'm hoping Cooper & Co. either go pro (i.e. Europe) or transfer out IMMEDIATELY. There is no reason, none, to play for a joker like this. A few of the guys may be close to graduating but, if it was me, I'd take the academic hit and play D2 ball at Ashland at this point.
And, I can't wait to see Ford & Boals get head coaching gigs (maybe even in Oxford) and prove the current administration wrong.
Ohio Men's Basketball ... RIP
Is this a parody of what the most over the top, wrong-headed reaction would look like? If so, well done.
I remember when basketball fans in Indiana were furious about the Indiana Pacers passing over the in-state favorite Steve Alford in the first round of the NBA Draft to pick the unacceptable, unathletic, funny-looking, worthless, franchise-ruining waste of a pick Reggie Miller. Your post reminds of those fans.
