FOOTBALL |

Stunningly new era at hand |
|
 As
head football coach at his alma
mater, Ruffin McNeill avoided
treating the position as though he
were Chief Executive Officer of a
business. McNeill favored a family
model. He was daddy. The players
were his sons. The assistant coaches
and coordinators were uncles.
McNeill's abrupt dismissal Friday after an injury-plagued 5-7 season was
a reminder that big-time college athletics is indeed a business.

CHARLESTON, SC — East
Carolina outscored host College of Charleston 52-40 in the second half
but it was too little, too late, in a 77-73 loss to the Cougars on
Monday night.
ECU trailed by 18 points
early in the second half but pulled within 71-69 on a 3-pointer by
B.J. Tyson with 1:05 to go.
"We ended up having to
play small and that was our best offense," said Pirates coach Jeff
Lebo.
Kentrell Barkley, a
6-foot, 5-inch freshman, had 22 points, 10 rebounds, five assists,
two steals and one block for ECU (5-4), which had a three-game
winning streak stopped.
Canyon Barry, a son of
NBA Hall of Famer Rick Barry, led the Cougars (6-2) with 27 points,
including 13 of 14 at the free throw line.
Barry
shoots underhanded from the line as his dad
did.
Foul shots were a
determining factor as College of Charleston made 22 of 29 while the
Pirates dropped just 10 of 22.
ECU fell behind 12-1 at
the outset before rallying within 21-17. The Cougars spurted again
to lead 37-21 at the half.
Tyson had 17 points and
eight rebounds. Caleb White had 12 points.
Kanu Aja had nine points
and eight rebounds in 21 minutes as the Pirates played without
frontcourt performers Michel Nzege and Deng Riak due to injuries.
Prince Williams had six
points and seven assists for ECU.
The Pirates will resume
practice Thursday after an exam break for a home game at 2 p.m.
Sunday against North Carolina A&T (4-7), which has won its last four.
