My alma mater’s basketball team made it to the NCAA Tournament Final Four this year. Although they have been to the tournament a couple of times before, they have always lost in the first round, i.e., one game and out. So this has been a big deal for the school and the surrounding community. They are having a parade through the city and the campus tomorrow, followed by a post-tournament pep rally. They finished the season ranked Eighth in the USA Today/ESPN Coaches Poll. This is the fist time ever they have been ranked in the top 25.The downside to all of this is that the coach, who has been here for nine years, has now attracted the attention of some of the more well-known schools. He has already been approached by one fairly well-known school and there are rumors that others are also interested in talking to him about becoming their basketball coach.
