So, that happened. Heading out of town, taking and making phone calls to confirm the Joe DeForest/Keith Patterson swap and — POW — there goes the front passenger tire. Note the gash at the top of the tire.

Fun!

We’re now live from the Consol Energy Center, where I was standing in a hallway making another phone call, when WVU assistant coach and former Duquesne coach Ron Everhart walked silently down the hall, a few paces behind Bob Huggins, a few paces in front of assistants Larry Harrison and Erik Martin.

Everhart said not a word and went straight to work. He’ll say no words, either. Fired last spring, Everhart has has politely declined invitations to talk about his reunion tonight.

Step into my office …
