    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Retired Purdue basketball coach Gene Keady has accepted a position with the NBA's Toronto Raptors.

    "What my exact duties will be has yet to be determined," said Keady, who returned Tuesday from a Caribbean cruise with his wife, Pat.

    Keady will either join head coach Sam Mitchell's staff as a full-time bench coach or he will be a consultant/scout.

    "I talked with them Monday, and they had some of their people at the Jimmy V Classic, so we agreed to finalize things in a day or so," Keady said.

    Good to hear. Hopefully he will help Mitchell improve as a coach.

    Given the youth of the Barneys, I think this move makes great sense and I guess signals that Keady's wife was likely driving him batty in retirement

    The extra chromasome IS[ the "Fun Gene" my friends and explains man's ability to appreciate bathroom humour and the "Three Stooges". Anyone who is married on these boards will understand that, I'm sure

    Have fun...............

    I was thinking about this move this morning and I thought that rather than having a done slogan like "Fear the 'fro" we could now have something catchy like "Cower from the Comb-Over"

    It's growing on me, but not Gene

    Have fun.................

    Gene Keady has been hired an assistant coach for the Raptors this should help Sam become a better coach hopefully and lead to more wins.
