((HT: WBNG-TV/Binghamton, NY))
Too much freedom and not enough oversight, it appears that was the culture permitted in the Binghamton University Men's Basketball program under Athletic Director Joel Thirer.
And it's that culture that has Thirer out of a job.
University President Lois DeFleur announced Thirer's resignation at a hastily called press conference late this afternoon.
The announcement comes less than a week after starting point guard Emmanuel "Tiki" Mayben was arrested for selling crack cocaine and subsequently kicked off the team.
A day later, five more members of the team were released for reasons that have yet to be made public.
DeFleur says she has had extensive meetings with Head Coach Kevin Broadus and has ordered him to develop a detailed recruitment and supervision plan for the basketball program.
But for now, his job appears to be safe.
For now...
Justin Horowitz from WBNG-TV in Binghamton got to chase the "pride' of the America East Conference to see where they go from here...
Those of us at OSG HQ think Thirer was the trendsetting example for Paul Krebs at New Mexico when all the Mike Locksley stuff gets settled...
But that's us and that whole "logic" thing...
