Army Releases Its Head Coach, and the Timing Couldn't Be Stranger

From GoArmySports.com, Army basketball releases seven year coach Jim Crews.

Seems like very strange timing given that Army took AU to the last minute last year in the semi-finals, and the team looked like it was going to be a contender this year. Sure Crews has never had a winning season in seven years and his winning percentage was only .302, but if you were going to let him go, why not let him go at the end of last season instead of a mere 40 days before this one starts. Bizarre.

Who knows how the Black Knights will respond to their new coach, whoever that ends up being.

Sure makes you happy that we have some stability in Jeff Jones, even though we never get a smile or wave out of the guy before the game starts and he doesn't acknowledge our "Jeff Jones" chants, and even though I end up yelling at Jeff Jones more during a given game (for yelling at our players) than I do the opposing coach, still makes me happy that we won't have to go looking for a new coach any time soon (God willing).

Anyway, short little check-in here. I'm waiting on some information before I give you another big post. Hoping to look at some of the other Patriot League teams' non-conference schedules for an upcoming entry.

Pro deo et patria and GO EAGLES!
