Dana Altman, introduced as Arkansas' new basketball coach on Monday, changed his mind less than 24 hours later and announced on Tuesday night that he is returning to Creighton, where he has coached the Bluejays the past 13 seasons.

The coach apologized to Razorbacks fans "with deep regret" and said returning to Creighton was in his family's best interest

Lib, I've forgotten--where was Bobby going to go before he ran back to Georgia Tech?

[Libertine]

He was going to South Carolina, his "beloved" alma mater.

And how ironic was it that after Greg (who?) Marshall "pulled a Bobby Cremins" the fallback option for College of Charleston
was.............................................................................................................................................................................

Tah Dah!!!!

And the perfect time to do it would be after the player introductions when the PA announcer says "And the Eagles are coached by Greg Marshall, assisted by so and so and so and so."

And former College of Charleston coach John Kresse once left CofC to become the coach at Davidson, only to come right back within the week...so CofC has been involved in quite a few of these 'flip-flops'.

The other bit of Irony is that SC may be the school that finally lands Gregg Marshall...for more than 1 day that is.

Oh, what would Winthrop fans do then?

Go see Winthrop play or go see the Gamecocks play -- which is where they were going anyway?
