The decision by the administration of George Washington University over the weekend to relieve Mike Lonergan of his head coaching duties just 13 days prior to the start of practice does more than just dampen the image of this program.
It also dampens any real chance the Colonials had of having a successful season.
It's hard enough to win in college basketball when outside variables aren't intervening with everything that's going on with your program and George Washington's bizarre parting with Lonergan ensures that there's a minimal chance of normalcy existing in the Colonials' immediate future.
