CBS Sports Network: Brad Johansen, Pete Gillen
It's good to see Pete Gillen still involved in basketball. I rarely watch CBSSN (except when I visit a sports bar and have no other choice) and so don't see him often. Are there any other X fans who remember the great teams he had during the 9 years he coached at X? I remember that in 9 years he was in the dance 7 times and once in the NIT. He was especially good at recruiting point guards. After that he went to PC and began a long decline. He also coached in the ACC for a few years but again his coaching and recruiting abilities seemed to degrade. I am not sure what his final coaching job was after he was fired by Virginia. Perhaps that was his last hurrah. Brad Johansen who never played or coached basketball is a much superior sportscaster. He also left Cincinnati where he broadcast UC football but came back and has had a rebirth as a news anchor. I was not aware he still did sports broadcasts on weekends.
This post should be of no interest to anyone except X sports fans and perhaps not much to the younger ones either. At least it allows me to practice my keyboard skills.
