Very interesting. I doubt we will ever know what went down, but one thing is for sure. Losing destroys all and winning cures all within programs. WVU seems like a big mess right now because we suck in both football and basketball with no real hope for the immediate future in sight. Winning is the only thing that will fix it no matter what they do.

Not everybody can be John Wooden, who won in 1964, 1965, 1967, 1968, 1969, 1970, 1971, 1972, 1973, 1975.

But Wooden didn’t even make title game in 1966 and 1974. Guess that makes Wooden a “failure,” too, by the standards of some on here.

just using logic..what whould be cause for a firing with a season in progress?..who knows?..it would have to have been some type of incident... granted it's speculation, but something happened..the AD just didn't go..I don't like the way he coaches..Baker isn't a basketball coach he wouldn't do that...I don't know what happened but it wasn't good...not saying he did anything like this, but Jim Leavitt never fully recovered for slapping a player in the face at S Florida and that was years ago

Could be physical. Or it could be intoxicated on the job. Could be numerous things.

But if it were physical or anything like harassment, it would be disclosed. So that leads me to something that involved only Harrison and nobody else.

CFE is clueless.

good point..I didn't think of the alcohol...state employees are required to submit to a breath or blood test if suspected of that..the state has a zero tolerance policy

Never thought of alcohol either. With the way they have been playing would drive many to drink.
