SIU will lose their AD...
Mario Moccia will be named the new Athletic Director of New Mexico State University...
Obviously Moccia must have impressed - as he beat out dozens and dozens of really good candidates for this job...but you'd never know it if you go back just a couple years and read all the hateful things the SIU fans had to say about Moccia...
They blamed him largely for their severe basketball demised - especially piling onto Moccia for giving Chris Lowery such a huge and long term contract before he'd ever won with any of his own players - then locking the Saluki fans into four miserable years under Lowery from 2008-2012 (5th, 9th, 8th, & 9th in MVC)Comment

not basketball but football related..
an interesting story about fired Nebraska football coach Bo Pelini..
seems he doesn't think much of the folks who fired him and he says so...definitely doesn't take the high road...
speaking of coaches saying the wrong thing...
the Northern Michigan women's basketball coach is suspended for publicly saying one of their rivals cheated

"You have a lot of people that enjoy the high-end areas, the clubs and things
like that, and I think they want to see the athletic director and have a
relationship with him and the staff. We may not be built any longer to have
an introvert as an AD. I think you'll have to have somebody who's
comfortable with people."
"I just hope it's somebody that cares about SIU...."
