Frank Sullivan and Ibby Jaaber

The Boston Herald sheds a bit more light on the firing of Frank Sullivan this morning. Apparently, Sullivan was going to get his walking papers unless he "[cracked] the stranglehold of Penn and Princeton atop the Ivy League standings [this year]." Win the Ivy League with Harvard sans Cusworth, or get fired? Sullivan should have started packing his things in December.

Meanwhile, Brandon's post about Ibby and the NBA (I think it's the fourth post down) reminded me about something that happened last year. The athletic department held its "Dining with Dunphy" event at Hill House, and at the end there was a Q-and-A period with then-coach Dunphy. One guy asked about Ibby and the NBA. Dunphy responded favorably, adding that "people have likened him to Tony Parker." Here's the link, it's about three-quarters of the way into the clip.
