Witherspoon went 4-20 this past season.

Huh???? Apparently the Bulls get about as much attention downstate as UA gets in Cow-town.

I still think it was a mistake to fire Witherspoon. Hurley has about as much coaching experience as anybody on ZN.O

I have Dan Patrick on as I work during the day and just noticed Bobby Hurley is going to be on the show today. I tweeted at the show during the Zips streak asking for an interview with KD but nothing and now Hurley will be on the show after doing nothing. Apparently Hurley is doing what they'd hoped he would and garner them attention.

++ I'm looking forward to seeing where Reggie emerges. He could become another life-long assistant, but he's been a HC since his JC days, and I hope he gets picked up somewhere. He has a HC's temperment.

On Bobby Hurley, this may be misinterpreted, but I wish him and the Bulls the best (I suppose Reggie created a good vibe, similar to Charlie Coles in Oxford). I had a friend who was a D-2 coach in Hawaii, and left to be an AD in CA. His first act was to name the just-graduated UCLA PG Cameron Dollar as his head BB coach. It was a successful choice. although Dollar only stayed a couple years, it brought needed publicity. Bobby Hurley? Instant recognition!
