Rod Barnes Fired, Will not coach in CAA Tourney

Georgia State Men's Basketball Coach Rod Barnes was fired today and will not coach the Panthers in the CAA Tournament beginning on Friday in Richmond.  Assistant Coach Paul Graham will assume the helm and will lead our team vs. UNC-Wilmington and any further should we win.

This move has received national attention on ESPN and Fox Sports.  At one point, yesterday afternoon Rod Barnes was a trending topic on Twitter.

Per our guy Ken at the AJC, we will buyout the last year of Barnes' contract which is estimated at $267,000.

What is truly amazing to me is both local and national writers who have not seen us play a single game are smashing us.  It's time to get serious about basketball again.

Coach Bill Curry on Twitter

As many of you know, Coach Curry is on Twitter  several times a week.  This week is particularly interesting as he is walking down memory lane a little with the conclusion of our first year ending in a place he used to coach.

I'd encourage you to jump on board and check out CBC's Tweets @ CoachBillCurry.

Tuesday Quick Hitters - 9.21.10

Tuesday practice has just wrapped up and I'm interested to hear CBC's comments on how the team has responded.  Let's hit the Links shall we...

Associate Head Coach/WR Coach/Recruiting Coordinator George Pugh pinch hit for CBC yesterday on his call in show.  He did a great job impressing that with experience, we will continue to learn how to respond to tougher competition.  Mark Hogan came on in the last segment and as CBC and Dave mention often, he doesn't like the spot light.  Had a whale of a game on Saturday though.  Check out my Twitter page for complete run down.

Not a joke. The Bert Show responded to me after thanking him for his support on his show and this season.  His response:  U got me 100%. 

I encourage everyone to email the show, follow Bert on Twitter @TheBertShowBert (your boy is on there as well, follow me @GStateBen, just sayin') or call the show and give them a shout.

They even have a special page dedicated to it and has the replays of the interviews.  You can find it here: Q100.

From my previous work in radio at a sports radio station in town, Bert has always been a stand up guy and has been nice to wife and I.  I really want to thank him for the invaluable coverage that he's given us.  Big ups to the Bert Show!
