Could Felton be Fired?

Coaching Chaos Continued...

((UPDATES AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS STORY))

It looks like the latest casualty in the College Coaching ranks may be upon us soon. The University of Georgia has called an 11am Thursday Press conference to "Speak about the state of the Basketball program".

You can read into it what you will, but with the 'Dogs sporting a 9-10 overall record along with no SEC Conference wins combined with a very evident lack of effort in most games, you can draw a pretty obvious conclusion. The 'Dogs lost last night to Florida 83-57.

We aren't saying that they are going to fire Coach Dennis Felton, because nothing has been made official...yet. But, he probably would have lost his job last season had the 'Dogs not pulled off one of the greatest miracles in College Tournament History by winning 3 games in 2 days at th SEC Tournament.
