Boston College recently fired Jim Christian as its men’s basketball coach. Now BC is transitioning to a hiring search for the program. Peter Caliguri, Patrick Toppin, and Arthur Bailin share our thoughts on the firing and what’s next for the program.
- Not to rehash, but was firing Jim Christian at this point in the season the right move?
Peter: Long overdue.
Patrick: Would there be any advantages to keeping him? Coaches aren’t going to look at the firing and think BC is being hasty (lord knows that Christian had plenty of time), and I haven’t heard any rumblings of Gianni Thompson de-committing.
