Corie Blount: Former UC Bearcats players at least deserved head coach interviews

Another former Cincinnati Bearcats player shared his thoughts Tuesday on social media about the search that resulted in former NKU Norse head coach John Brannen becoming UC's new head coach.

Corie Blount, a forward/center on the Bob Huggins-led teams that reached the Final Four in 1992 and Elite Eight in 1993, tweeted that two former players at least deserved to be interviewed for the Bearcats' head coaching vacancy.

Blount was a teammate of Nick Van Exel, an assistant for the NBA's Memphis Grizzlies who reportedly expressed interest in the position.
