Hoops: Dal assistant taking RMC's reins

RMC's looked down east for a saviour for its men's basketball team, with Scott James set to come aboard after five seasons as an assistant for the Dalhousie Tigers.

Having a coach who can recruit on the East Coast, where young people are typically more open to the notion of a career in the military, might help the Paladins become competitive again. The team is 1-65 in the OUA since the start of 2005-06; if James can get the program back in the playoffs, he'll probably be able to write his own ticket for another top job in a few seasons' time, not unlike former Paladins coach Craig Norman, who's now at McGill.

  4. While you're talking about coach swapping, I note Matt Skinn is leaving U of C and heading to SFX..
