Sad day for area college basketball fans, Charlie Coles has retired from Miami!:(
Always a class act. He gave the most amusing press conferences in the business. I'm a graduate of two schools that have long standing rivalries with Miami but I still love Charlie Coles.

Probably for the best, given his medical troubles.
While an undergrad, I remember him coming to UD and amiably talking trash with the first rows of the student section on multiple occasions. He dished it out pretty well.
He sure did. I he loved coming to the Convo, or at least he seemed to.Quote:

Rest in peace, Charlie.
Behind a little bit of madness was a lot of genius. And a good man to boot.
I, and many UC alumni and fans, greatly respect Charlie. Sorry for the loss, we will miss having him around.
I'm an OU alumnus and a big fan of the Bobcats. As much a we hate Miami, we loved Charlie. We're gonna miss you, Coach.
A really good read.
