CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. -- Earl Grant didn't intend to pull the wrong color suit out of his closet on Monday, but walking out to the court for Boston College's season opener against The Citadel revealed an incidental error in his wardrobe judgment. His golf shirts and casual wear didn't force him to consider color schemes, but moving back to a more formal sideline attire last season brought his suit game to the forefront of a conversation once reserved for the dapper head coaches like Villanova's Jay Wright.
He didn't even notice his jacket color when he peeled back the garment bag, but as he walked out of the tunnel, the former Citadel assistant coach heard the good-natured catcall towards his attire.
