Zeigler/Zeiglers Out at CMU...

CMU has fired Ernie Zeigler as men's basketball coach.  He lost 20 games in straight seasons, and in one sense, I don't think it is a big surprise.

Now, in other sense, it kind of is.  That's because there was a package deal between Ernie Zeigler and his son Trey, who was a very highly recruited player and who came to CMU to play for his Dad.  Note those last four words, because there is no chance he is at CMU for any other reason.

Chances are good that when you get rid of one Zeigler, you get rid of them both.  In fact, Trey tweeted "its been real."  He will have plenty of options...

Coach will be paid in excess of $350,000 to buyout his deal.
