yeah, we will never find a coach that didn’t cheat on his wife like Ernie Kent.

NIT runs should not be placed as an accomplishment, sorry.

What’s next, applying for a CBI invite? Oh wait they did this year? And got denied? Ouch!

For me, the good memories far outweigh the bad ones. All I can say is, thanks for the memories Ernie. Oregon probably will find a better coach than Big Ern, but I don’t think they’ll ever find a coach that is a better person.

Thanks for the memories Big Ern.

To go with your Pac10 champion stat. I think just as interesting is that from ’61-’08 (47yrs), only 7 were won by teams other then the ‘big 3′. One was Kent’s, and three consecutive were from an OSU run in the ’70s. Just one is impressive though in Kent’s tenure.

Rough that they didn’t get any postseason tourny invite. I heard that this year there are 4 of em. Something like this:

NCAA
NIT
CBIT
CIT

Never heard of the last 2 til this morning. can’t imagine there are many good teams playing in those. Too bad cause like you said, he is a good tourny coach.
