2017 NIT: UCF Coach Johnny Dawkins Gets An Apology

Well better late than never: Orlando Sentinel columnist Mike Bianchi apologized to Johnny Dawkins for calling his hiring “uninspired.”

All Dawkins has done is lead his first Central Florida team to a 24-11 defense as of Monday (there is at least one more game, and possibly two, let to play in the NIT)
