Ben Braun

In case you have not heard, Ben Braun from Cal has been fired after 12 years of coaching Cal. The link below has the information about it. The article sites that due to the lack of ncaa tournament appearances was the reason for the firing. This should be interesting to see whether Ryan Anderson will go pro or stay for another year.

Thought it would be interesting to share with everyone.

Braun's tenure

has been a lot like EKs, in that he was always on the hotseat and he got to five NCAAs in 12 seasons. The difference is that the highs were not nearly what EK has accomplished--no elite eights, no Pac-10 regular season or tournament titles. And Braun was consistently unable to recruit elite level talent despite being in the bay area and having a newly renovated arena.

I actually think that Montgomery probably ends up there, which is not a really good thing for us.
