    Tulane fires men's basketball coach Finney
    By Fred Robinson
    The Times-Picayune

    Tulane men's basketball coach Shawn Finney, who spent the past five seasons trying to restore the Green Wave's program, has been fired, two sources close to the program told The Times-Picayune.

    Tulane athletic director Rick Dickson is expected to announce Finney's dismissal in a written release Sunday evening, the sources said. Finney's firing comes five days after Dickson refused to comment about Finney's status.

    Finney, 42, was 60-86 during his tenure, had one winning season and never guided the Wave to post-season play.

    Duane Reboul will probably get the job, but I'd kill if they'd offer it to Pat Summit (yeah, I know it's a step down, but still...).

    He's from New Orleans. Tulane has lost touch with locals, it's the obvious choice.
