Did not see that coming? Why?

I'm guessing WOOD TV reporters don't report rumors.

Its official and i'm as stunned as anyone

The full statement per mlive:

"Hope College and Matt Neil, head men's basketball coach and assistant professor of kinesiology, have mutually agreed to part ways. Hope will immediately begin a search for a successor as head men's basketball coach. The College will not comment further on this matter."

Two observations:
1. It's a total separation - not just the coaching job
2. Just over 20% (by words) of the statement is used to say the college will not comment further.

Very strange.

What?!?

A random visit to the site to see if anything is happening and....

Obviously the biggest domino to fall will be who is the next coach, but I'm wondering does this have any impact on Hope's incoming freshman class/players for this fall.  At the DIII level no one signs a binding letter of intent to go to a school so realistically any player, even current team players as well as new recruits, is welcome to leave the program without any penalty of sitting out a season.

Will there be any "free agent" players as a fallout of this news?

Pretty shocking.

Once again, I was asked by the person who's post was quoted.  Take it up with management.

quoting the email sent to me
"I have already removed my posts. However, I am wondering if you would also be willing to remove
any posts that quoted my post... or at least my quote from it... specifically

I was going to let Pat handle it but it was late last night so I did it myself.  Sorry stuff like this causes so much consternation among the populous.  But every now and then I'm not the bad guy you want me to be.

So who do people think will be in the running for the job at Hope? 

Will it be a member of the current staff?  Davelaar, Carlson
Will it be a former player?  Elliott, Mitchell, Bosma, Bray (and I am sure there are plenty more)
Will they go outside the local area?  Van Haaften from BVU

My first phone call...Clayton Bates at WMU, just to see if he would be interested...
