NOTES FROM ECU AND BEYOND...
Previous Day Nuggets...
Next Day Nuggets...
Compiled from staff reports
and electronic dispatches
1070 airing Purple-Gold Game
programming
WNCT-AM Talk 1070 will air a spring
game preview Saturday afternoon at 1:00 PM. The show will broadcast live
from outside the Murphy Center and will lead into the Pirate Sports
Network’s coverage of East Carolina's Purple-Gold Game beginning at 2:45.
Patrick Johnson of Talk 1070 and
Bonesville.net columnist and Pirates’ Chest editor Denny O'Brien will
co-host the program. The tandem has co-hosted Talk 1070's football pre-game
show the last two seasons.
East Carolina football coach Skip
Holtz, offensive coordinator Skip Shankweiler, and defensive coordinator
Greg Hudson are among the guests scheduled to stop by for live on-air
interviews. Several former East Carolina standouts also are expected to
appear.
SMU dismisses Tubbs
The Dallas Morning News reported that
Southern Methodist basketball coach Jimmy Tubbs was fired Thursday
afternoon.
Tubbs had completed only two seasons of
a four-year contract signed in March 2004.
Tubbs, 57, declined comment.
Retiring athletic director Jim Copeland
made the decision to fire Tubbs and said in a statement, "SMU holds its
coaches accountable for high standards of compliance with NCAA rules and
university procedures in all areas of their programs."
The Dallas paper reported that Tubbs
would be paid for the remainder of his contract. Tubbs was 27-20 with the
Mustangs, including 13-16 this past season. SMU reported itself for NCAA
violations while Tubbs was running the program.
Tulane hoops star invited to Portsmouth event
Tulane basketball standout Quincy Davis
has been selected to compete in the Portsmouth Invitational Tournament, a
four-day postseason event which begins on today in Portsmouth, Va.
"I am hoping to get exposure and to get
my name out there," Davis said. "It is really exciting for me to have this
opportunity. I am hoping to do well and get the opportunity to continue my
basketball career, whether it's in the U.S. or in Europe."
In its 55th year of existence, the
Portsmouth Invitational Tournament includes 64 college seniors broken up
into eight teams of eight players each. They play 11 games over the four-day
period with approximately 200 NBA representatives, as well as many
international scouts, in attendance.
Other prominent names included on this
year's rosters, according to the C-USA website, are Carl Krauser
(Pittsburgh), Eric Hicks (Cincinnati), Chris Quinn (Notre Dame), Curtis
Withers (Charlotte), Jeff Horner (Iowa), Sean Dockery (Duke), Darrel
Mitchell (LSU), Steve Novak (Marquette) and David Noel (North Carolina).
Colorado College becomes C-USA affiliate
The Colorado College women's soccer
team has accepted an invitation to compete as a temporary affiliate member
of Conference USA, starting with the 2006 season, the league and school
jointly announced today.
The Tigers will fill a spot vacated by
Tulane University, which dropped women's soccer and seven other varsity
sports for an indefinite period of time after Hurricane Katrina.
"This is a great fit for us," said
Geoff Bennett, who heads into his third season as head coach at Colorado
College. "We truly are honored that Conference USA viewed our program as one
that will help them become a better soccer conference. We have worked hard
these last two years to establish our program as an up-and-coming commodity
and we now will try to become one of the upper echelon teams in Conference
USA."
Conference USA is comprised of 12
member schools in women's soccer. Colorado College joins East Carolina,
Houston, Marshall, Memphis, Rice, Southern Methodist, Southern Mississippi,
Tulsa, UAB, Central Florida and Texas-El Paso in completing the list. Three
of those teams — regular-season champion SMU, along with playoff champ Rice
and UTEP — earned bids to the 2005 NCAA playoffs.
