Ronny Thompson is stepping down after just one season as Ball State's men's basketball coach & his resignation in a sense comes across as disappointing, disheartening to say the least.
The next question is, who will take charge of the Cardinals for this coming season?
It's anyone's guess; for the moment, it's time to start moving ahead. Thompson's tenure was filled with more low points than high points, but I never held out hope for the man; he knew he & his staff loused up but this wasn't to say that his team couldn't better themselves & find ways to improve on their 9-22 record last season. (If only he could have improved his reputation by recruiting hoops players from right here in Indiana...another low point to think about.) I at least believed that the Cards could pick themselves up from rock bottom, somehow, someway.
But now Ronny's leaving, in light of the NCAA infractions & racist notes he & his staff received (see the other To Be Perfectly Honest posts for more details). Where the Cards will go from here remains to be seen but at this point the only way ahead is up. And the controversy still rages on.
