Friar Fans: Go watch the Sox

PROVIDENCE -- All Providence College basketball fans hungry for a press conference to announce the next coach can rest easy today. Go watch the Red Sox' Opening Day game.

First off, no New England school in its right mind would ever announce anything on Opening Day. This is a true Holy Day for the majority of sports fans in the region.

More importantly, PC isn't closing in on a new coach. Bob Driscoll is set to fly home from San Antonio today. No candidate has met with Fr. Brian Shanley, which clearly must happen before anyone gets hired. In theory, that could occur in the next 2-3 days but we've learned not to hold our breath during this search. We think a search that's already taken plenty of twists and turns has more twisting and turning ahead.

Larry Brown? We hear he's listened to Driscoll in San Antonio. Would he really come here? You can find some long odds somewhere on that one but it sure would make things interesting in Friar Town.

By the way, PC's Driscoll is NOT attending the Frozen Four in Denver this week. He's on the NCAA Hockey committee but has cancelled do to the basketball situation.

If they don't get a Larry Brown-type in here, after losing Robinson and a rejection from Larranaga, any move they make will be a bust. Who else is out there?

I understand that Karl Hobbs from GW is very interested in the PC coaching job. He would definitly bring deversity to the program.
