NWAkron Posted April 1, 2018 Report Posted April 1, 2018 Found this today on SB Nation: "Sources close to Bobcat athletic director Jim Schaus tell us that the increasingly angry Ohio University donors and alumni are calling for Saul Phillips ouster as head coach of the men's basketball program. While Phillips still has a year on his contract, major donors ramped up their calls to fire Phillips as they watched Buffalo, UMBC, and Loyola make March Madness runs similar to Ohio's success during the John Groce era. Sources further confirmed that Schaus is in San Antonio this weekend and met with two recently fired coaches: Connecticut's Kevin Ollie and Texas-Arlington's Scott Cross. Both Cross and Ollie are still negotiating with their former schools regarding the terms of their departure and refused to comment for this story. Phillips, for his part, said only last week that he is committed to Bobcat basketball and had Schaus' full support." Quote
zippy5 Posted April 2, 2018 Report Posted April 2, 2018 (edited) Both would be great hires. Doubt Ollie would take the job.. As for Cross, I never want to see him again Edited April 2, 2018 by zippy5 1 Quote
Let'sGoZips94 Posted April 2, 2018 Report Posted April 2, 2018 Someone should post this on BobcatAttack and watch them implode with a similar Dambrot/Groce Civil-War-like debate. Quote

Sergeant Zip Posted April 2, 2018 Report Posted April 2, 2018 Apparently the joke may be rooted in some "truth" 1 Quote
NWAkron Posted April 2, 2018 Author Report Posted April 2, 2018 Must really hurt to be a Kitten and watch Jerron Simmons play for the national championship when he completely choked in his last game at OU (dribbling out the clock against PCCC in the MAC semis). Quote

kreed5120 Posted January 21, 2020 Report Posted January 21, 2020 If anyone is curious what Saul is up to these days, apparently he spent his Friday evening rescuing a women in labor who was trapped in a snowstorm. http://www.startribune.com/former-ndsu-coach-saul-phillips-helps-rescue-woman-in-labor-trapped-in-blizzard/567158672/ Quote
