Coach Gene Ford resigns

[Da Coach]

Before anyone thinks we are trying to start unconfirmed rumors, lighten up.

This is not about Bradley's head coach Geno Ford. It is about his father, Gene Ford, who has been the head coach at Division III Muskingum University for the past 7 years.

"Gene Ford ... announced his retirement after seven years as Muskingum University head men's basketball coach.


"It's the right time," said Coach Ford.

Muskingum will conduct an immediate national search for its next men's basketball head coach."

Maybe it's *Gene*-etic <.<

In all fairness, he is retiring. Sure it was probably highly encouraged that he retire, but for someone who has devoted his life to coaching it is best to be remembered as pulling the plug himself.

I agree, and the title has been changed to reflect the new terminology.
