Reece Gaines takes over as acting head coach at Eastern Kentucky.

Gaines was drafted by the Orlando Magic in the first round (15th overall) of the 2003 NBA draft and signed with the club on July 18, 2003. He spent one season on the bench in Orlando (1.8 points, 1.0 rebounds, 1.1 assists in 38 games) before being traded to the Houston Rockets (along with Tracy McGrady, Juwan Howard and Tyronn Lue) in exchange for Steve Francis, Cuttino Mobley and Kelvin Cato.[5].

It was the one thing about basketball that got me excited! Nobody has moves anymore. Its only crossovers and long 3s.

I absolutely think Nicholson is an NBA player. It's not even like he's a "relic." He has an outside shot. He has his struggles moving his feet defensively, but his interior defense had actually become pretty good. He was good at defending straight up without fouling. Very strange to me that he was cast off like he was. At least he's getting his money.

Not all coaches are good for their students athletes, so I don’t think you can draw this conclusion by only the information provided.

*cough*

In case my point was lost on you; in the (paraphrased) words of the great Tracy Jordan:

“Superman does good. Our former first round picks are doing well.”
