Lots of changes at Marist...and some other Northeast news
April 16th, 2008Well, today marks the beginning of the Spring Signing Period, and many fans are awaiting the decision of guard Tyreke Evans. The explosive prerimeter player is said to be leaning in the direction of Memphis, and that's who I'd expect him to sign with due to the departure of Derrick Rose. But the school with the most going on in recent days has to be Marist, who will any day be gaining a head coach, but they've already lost two players.
- Memphis assistant Jose "Chucky" Martin to be named Marist head coach.

Sutton Out at Oklahoma State
April 1st, 2008
By Shawn Siegel
Sean Sutton's two year stint as Oklahoma State head coach is reportedly coming to an end. Various outlets are saying Sutton is being "forced out" regardless of whether he ends up technically resigning or not.
Sutton's brief record is 39-29 over two seasons with two NIT losses. Making things worse for Sutton is the lack of talent on the horizon. The Cowboys have two players locked up for next year who are glorified high-major prospects, while rival Oklahoma is bringing in Top 20 recruit Willie Warren.

Coaching News: Change at UAPB and Other Tidbits
March 19th, 2008
By Shawn Siegel
A rundown of some of today's coaching news:
- UAPB head coach Van Holt resigned after six seasons at the helm. The Golden Lions finished 13-18 this year, and Holt's overall record was 50-124. This record might not look good but consider that UAPB was 4-51 in the two seasons before Holt took over.
- Besides the firing of Barry Hinson and Tim Welsh over the weekend, other relatively prominent firings in recent days include Toledo's Stan Joplin (just one season removed from being MAC Coach of the Year) and TCU's Neil Dougherty.

March 18th, 2008
By Shawn Siegel
Multiple sources are reporting that Arkansas State has hired former LSU coach John Brady. Brady replaces Dickey Nutt, who resigned after 13 years leading the Indians.
Brady was fired by LSU in the middle of the season, with the Tigers struggling to an 8-13 start. Known more for his recruiting prowess than in-game coaching skills, Brady did lead LSU to the Final Four just two years ago. There was some recent rumblings that Nolan Richardson, the long time Arkansas coach, would get the job.. but talks fell through.
Seven Day Stretch: Sutton Brothers Going Different Directions
February 15th, 2008
Three weeks ago I pegged Providence
College as the Seven Day Savior (team), and they have collapsed since then. Two
weeks ago, I put Seton Hall in the same category and they too, have fallen off
the radar since my selection. Even my choices of SDS individual awards have been
hit. Two weeks ago, it was Central Florida. Last week it was UNC-Asheville. Both
teams went from undefeated when I wrote about them to losing…in UCF’s case, more
than once. Last week I selected Drake and probably put a scare into those
Seven Day Stretch: The Week in College Hoops
February 8th, 2008
Okay, this may now become a curse…I
have written this column two times now and each time I’ve written about a savior
(team), that team, or teams, seems to flop the following week. This past week’s
victims are the teams from New Jersey, specifically Seton Hall and Rutgers who
were both 0-fer for the week in the Big East. It was an especially bad week for
the Hall as the Pirates had won a nice stretch of games to put themselves in
position for an NCAA Tournament bid and are now, at best, back on the bubble.
