Katz was named Mid-Major Coach of the Year. Well deserved.

Harvey is leaving early.

Harvey is leaving early.

Has that been confirmed? Last I read he was just considering it and hadn't hired an agent yet.

Surprised we haven't heard any butthurt whining from the Griz crowd....

Aww, shucks. Back to mediocrity and irrelevancy for the Eags.

Need to find a guard or three and we'll be fine. Bigs are as good as anyone in the conference.

It's more amusing that all the Sac fans are like "no-one is more deserving " when they hated Katz & wanted him gone as recently as a year ago.

[SuperHornet]

"All" the Sac fans? You're sorely mistaken on THAT count, Venus....

It was two years ago, and it is well deserved. It took Katz longer than Hornet fans would have liked, but he got things turned around. I’m glad he proved the detractors (including me) wrong.

Congrats to Katz, well deserved!!!

Should have been Murphy.


Game, set, match NAU and Murphy over Katz.

The only presently open BB coaching job in the Big Sky has now been filled as Portland State hired Southern Oregon head coach Lynn Kennedy (who's a guy, incidentally) today. Kennedy went 208-105 in 10 years with the Raiders (DII of NAIA).

An interesting side note: Kennedy was the interim coach of Idaho State over the last month of the 2001-02 season following the player revolt that led to first-year HC Shirley Huyett's firing. He also was an assistant at EWU under Wendy Schuller's predecessor for a couple years before that.
