Men’s hoops: A possible coaching search after all?
By Scott Wright
Could Oklahoma be looking for a new basketball coach after all?
An assistant basketball coach, that is.
With the news that Texas Christian has hired Jim Christian — how confusing is that going to be??? — away from Kent State, the rumor mill has begun to crank out names of possible coaches at Kent State.
One name to pop up so far is Oklahoma assistant Oronde Taliaferro, according to this story from the Associated Press.
Taliaferro just finished his first season with OU. He spent one season at Kent State under Stan Heath in 2002. Then he followed Heath to Arkansas, where he spent four seasons.
Taliaferro is originally from Detroit, Mich., which is just across Lake Ontario from Kent, Ohio. (And we all know how important it is to coaches to get back close to home, right Jeff Capel, wink-wink, nudge-nudge.)

TRSoules: Thanks for pointing that out. Poor map reading on my part, but if you check out the map I used, you can see how I got confused… http://www.mapquest.com/maps/Detroit+MI/Kent+OH/
See, if you flew from Detroit to Kent, you would fly over Ontario — the province, not the lake. I’ll brush up on my map-reading skills before attempting any geographic descriptions again, though.
Thanks,

Scott… you may be good at sports but you need to brush up on your geography.. Detroit is across Lake Erie from Kent… not Lake Ontario
