Inane commentary on a game that deserves far better


Friday, March 26, 2004

Auburn coach Joe Ciampi has decided to retire after 25 years. Ciampi has had a somewhat rocky season that included the loss of two players due to academic ineligibility. His family encouraged him to hang it up.

Ciampi led Auburn to the NCAA title game three years in a row but lost each game. He leaves with 607 college wins, 10th most in history.

He probably isn't done with hoops for good. After a break, he's going to look into options with the WNBA or the WBCA, or a job on TV.
