Sources confirming (even to CAPS LOCK CARL himself!) that Virginia hires itself a new basketball coach, 39-year old Tony Bennett of Washington State, breaking news at about 5pm on Monday. CAPS LOCK CARL, whilst perusing the web late in the afternoon to waste the last few hours of my servitude here, reporting on the news with an assist from VLookup Vince. You heard it here second, or maybe third.Also in the news today that apparently Memphis coach John Calipari is pondering the Kentucky job and has met with officials up in Lexington.
