    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.

    Long ago, we got him to bow to us a few times with some cheering.

    One of the students photoshopped an O-Zone turtleneck onto a picture of him a couple years back, blew it up, printed it, and tried to get Charlie to sign it. He did so with a laugh and a smile.

    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.
    All models are wrong. Some of them are useful.

    A really good read.

    Wally Szczerbiak reflects on the death of longtime Miami (Ohio) coach Charlie Coles.
