Ole Miss basketball is currently in need of a head coach for both the men’s and women’s teams. That’s both a blessing and a curse, because while it affords athletics director Ross Bjork a fairly variegated smorgasbord of options to lead the programs forward, nevertheless it also places those programs in the unenviable position of having to work through a coaching search and Year 1 scenario next season. Very fun.
No matter, though, because the Rebs’ particular blip on the national college basketball conversation’s collective radar shines out rather faintly for writers and fans alike, what with Oxford not the most desirable landing spot for hoops headmen, and the very real fact that Ole Miss knifed a head men’s basketball coach that in the end had no business getting a pink slip.
