8:30 P.M. — Laurel Basketball Coach Resigns

Gazette on Keith Coutreyer Heading to Hampton: http://www.gazette.net/stories/08072008/laurspo141448_32456.shtml

Congrats to Keith Coutreyer, who leaves after 13 seasons at Laurel to take an assistant position at Hampton University. I mean, really, how can you turn down a job when your friend Kevin Nickelberry offers you a job. Pretty much a done deal. I mean, Coutreyer already played for coach Nickelberry — he might as well work for Mr. Nickelberry too.

Coutreye will coach the guards and work in "academic coordination." One of those ambiguous, underpaid college assistant jobs. At least he'll be able to tutor some local products, as Hampton (who went 18-12 in the MEAC last season) already has Laurel alumni Chris Tolson and Milade Lola-Charles on the roster.
