The Big East released their basketball schedule.
Holy Cross went with the guy their ex-coach was pushing in hiring nine-year Notre Dame assistant Sean Kearney. Kearney got the job instead of a coach that was 81-40 in his previous stint at Charleston and who’s been Jamie Dixon’s top guy at Pitt for the last few years.
Tom Herrion will probably end up with a better job than Holy Cross in the future, but I still find the choice interesting particularly when one of the qualifications being looked for was a guy with head coaching experience.
I always find it odd — if in fact it happened this way — when AD’s are swayed to listen to people who’ve made a choice to leave their institution when considering that person’s replacement.
It’s a good day for Pitt basketball, not to mention Sean Kearney.
For Tom Herrion… a better day’s coming.
