Bob Kane "shot for the moon" once and got Ned Harkness.

Wasn't Harkness woefully underpaid at RPI in the 1960s, something like $10,000 ($75,000 today) at the time?

Isn't this a truism? You're talking about one of the best, perhaps the best, college coaches in history. Name one other coach who put up record-breaking, undefeated seasons in two different sports. By definition, Ned Harkness was woefully underpaid.

What do you expect? Administration doesn't prioritize athletics. Facilities are woeful. Andy will be lucky to find a good one.

Zach Spiker off the board, he is hired as the new coach at Drexel.

Wow...you are able to name one shoot for the moon and it wasn't Noel's hire. Look at his hire's during his tenure, they basically suck! He takes the easy way out as much as possible and hires assistant coaches OR kids like Archer.

Wonder why he got canned? Did a great job at Dayton and finally looked like he was turning Tech around...he'll get a much better job than Cornell.

The non-NCAA tournaments are not meaningful but still... Columbia beat Norfolk State, Ball State and NJIT in the CollegeInsider.com Tournament and will face UC-Irvine in the finals.

I had a friend who was a serious Duke and UVa fan. She called the NIT the National Losers' Tournament.

Columbia won. And their coach promptly left to take over at San Fransisco.

Former Cornell assistant and current Penn assistant Nat Graham will be interviewed in Houston by Andy Noel.

The Cornell Basketball Blog has been pushing for Nat so hard, you have to wonder if he gets a cut of his first year salary. Nat may well prove to be a great coach, but hiring him feels a lot like trying to live in the past. A happy, warm past, but the past nonetheless.
