UNCW fires coach McGrath
If this is to early. Mods feel free to do what you think best.
This is my hometown & my wife graduated from UNCW. My first thoughts are don't hire another coach with UNC on their resume. I think they are still paying for Buzz Peterson. I think most people here are resigned to occasionally catching a rising star like Kevin Keatts & Brad Brownell but you will not be able to hold on to them.. Also Jerry Wainright was here for 8 years and they won what I believe is their only NCAA tournament game in 2002.
I read some of the fan comments on Facebook and some suggested they should have done more to keep KK. I think State quadrupled his salary so that is unrealistic.

Beilein May Be Back in the Mix for College?
ESPN article out of Cleveland that John Beilein, long-time Michigan coach who just moved up the NBA, may not make it through a full season. Beilein, in addition to posting a 14-40 record, has struggled to adapt to the NBA game or even get along with Cav players.
Not a happy season in the Beilein family as his son got canned at Niagara for "personal issues."
Back to college for John Beilein? OTOH, with a five-year contract with Cleveland, he certainly has some options.
