UMBC coach extends stay

“He has done an outstanding job and is deserving of this contract extension”

UMBC's best NCAA Division I basketball season earned coach Randy Monroe a six-year contract extension through the 2013-14 season, the school announced yesterday.

'The message I get is that Randy Monroe and UMBC go hand-in-hand,' Monroe said.

Don't get too optimistic about Barrel-Chested Pat. His teams at Iona, Florida State & DePaul all underachieved. He may be a great recruiter, but his coaching leaves a lot to be desired.

I'm just hoping that Jimmy Patsos & his Loyola Greyhounds finally make it to the NCAA Tournament.
