Non-Falcon Note

Well, Mike O'Brien finally got his wish, and fired Stan Joplin as basketball coach, based on this report at The Blade.

He had one year left on his deal. I'm surprised, frankly. I don't think he's the greatest coach who ever lived...but I think he's better than he has been treated. Last year, he twisted in the wind most of the season before the AD had no choice but to keep him.

Far be it from me to feel sorry for a Rocket. But, I have actually met Coach Joplin, and he's good people.
