Buzz Peterson named Coastal Carolina Coach

Well since Coastal Carolina is the local college here, thought I should comment on this. Great news for Coastal really, snagging a well-known coach instead of some no-name assistant from South Carolina or Miami as would have happened without Peterson showing interest. Should only help in recruiting. A bit surprised Peterson couldn't get a higher profile job-but then perhaps he needed a break after the follies at Tennessee. He's inheriting a team that hasn't had a winning season in about eight years or so (and this playing in the non-competitive Big South where only Winthrop has a quality program), but does have the current Big South Player of the year and Rookie of the Year on the roster. And there is a push to move them into more respected Southern League. They also play in an arena that's isn't any better than a big name high school arena. Though there are plans being floated for a new arena if they get the financing. Which they must have because just this morning a minor league hockey team is moving here next year to play in said non-existent arena. That 1.4 mil buyout probably is why he won't mind the $120,000 or so he'll make at Coastal. Should certainly be a lot of interest in the basketball program come next season here, hope Peterson can lead the Chanticleers to the promised land. |

That can't be right. I am the coach at Coastal Carolina. Led them to the tourney last season. Where - ironically - we lost to Tennessee.

Ha. Good luck with Peterson. I felt he got a bit of a bum rap at UT.
