Doc's Morning Line: Please tell us John Brannen actually did something worthy of dismissal

As far as we know, John Cunningham fired John Brannen for (1) an unapproved workout and (2) an unspecified special benefit given to an unnamed player. There’s more to it than that, right?

UC couldn’t possibly have canned its basketball coach just for making players run “timed runs’’ for missing free throws in practice. Every coach in America has done something similar.

When I wrestled in high school, the consequences for a sloppy practice were running what we called “shuttles’’ in the gym. Quarter-court and back, half-court and back etc.
