Gene Sapakoff, who covers Charleston Cougars basketball for the Post and Courier, answered a few questions for us with quick reactions to Boston College’s hire of Earl Grant as its next men’s basketball head coach.
1) Many BC fans were surprised by this hire as Grant’s name hadn’t really come up on many of the coaching carousel articles. Was Grant known to be in the running for a move out of Charleston or did this come as a surprise on your end, too?
Gene Sapakoff: A surprise that he left the South, I guess.
