ESPN Cuts Tom Brennan

ESPN Cuts Tom Brennan

Unfortunate, because he was an affable on-air guy, but with one year remaining on his contract, The Juggernaut did not pick up the former terrific AM radio jockey's contract for next year. If you caught a decent amount of college ball on the weekends last season, you saw Doug Gottlieb and Brennan deliver some good give-and-take during halftime and highlight shows. This is all part of an announcement earlier in the ... Read More

Sean McManus, Part Two

Sean McManus, Part Two

Part two of CHJ's interview with Sean McManus focuses more on the college basketball and general sports-covering realm of his job. He opens up about Billy Packer, the choice of Clark Kellogg and his worries about ESPN's ambition to perhaps steal some early-round games away from CBS. (You can read part one here.) During the tournament, are you the one who is making the decisions and saying, for instance, 'OK, let's ... Read More

An Interview with CBS Sports President Sean McManus, Part One

An Interview with CBS Sports President Sean McManus, Part One

It's entirely possible you don't know much about Sean McManus. But the son of Jim McKay (yes, that one) was kind enough to give me an hour out of his ridiculously busy schedule.  McManus is in charge of CBS News and CBS Sports. The only other person to hold two such positions at once? Roone Arlidge. The interview was so long, I figured it would better suit the reader to ... Read More

Goins’ groin shot on Cousins

Goins’ groin shot on Cousins

Published On Saturday, March 13th 2010  

I get the feeling SEC coaches have purposefully gone after Cousins to try and get him to snap. That's not to say I think Bruce Pearl directly told Goins, "Hey, if you get a chance, throw a fist into DeMarcus' crotch," but I don't think coaches have shied away from telling their team that he's a hot head who will crack if you give him reason to.

Long-term, did Quinnipiac losing last night help Moore's chances down the road of going to UConn? If he and the Bobcats had won, would he be wooed by many a school in the next six weeks?

Another weak, only-verbal punishment, this time handed out by the WAC

Another weak, only-verbal punishment, this time handed out by the WAC

Published On Wednesday, March 10th 2010  

You know, I'm not saying we have to fine coaches every time or make them sit out a game, but now we're starting to see a bit of an unwanted pattern with coaches being "punished" by way of a short-but-sweet press release put out via said coach's conference Web site.
