Maybe the fourth coach will be the charm.
FIU athletic director Pete Garcia on Monday introduced Jeremy Ballard as the Panthers’ new men’s basketball coach. Ballard is FIU’s ninth coach and the fourth under Garcia, who has yet to find a way to stabilize the basketball program.
“We were looking for a system,” Garcia said. “We want to press 48 minutes.”
Garcia, of course, meant 40 minutes, the length of a regulation college basketball game. But, that minor speech miscue aside, you get the point of what the Panthers desire.
