BG to Face Interim Coach Saturday
Yesterday, Fordham announced that it has fired Head Basketball Coach Dereck Whittenburg. Assistant Julian Grasso will serve as interim coach.
A mid-season firing is very rare in college basketball, and especially one this early in the season. On the other hand, Fordham is 1-4 this year and was 3-25 last year, one of the worst teams in D1 hoops.
This should add an interesting counterpoint to the game on Saturday.
Whittenburg, of course, was on that NC State team that shocked Phi Slamma Jamma and had Jim Valvano running around the floor like a crazy man.
