Former Auburn (and Clemson) basketball coach Cliff Ellis will be coaching again for the first time in three years. Ellis was recently named the new coach at Coastal Carolina – just down the road from Bobby Cremins at the College of Charleston. If we ever see Nolan Richardson surface at the Citadel, we can then say with some certainty that the Southern Conference has become the recycling center of college basketball.

For SEC fans, that means a new announcing crew coming to Lincoln Financial regional broadcasts. Ellis will now be luring high school prospects with promises of "sharing the candy" and plenty of trips to the "bonus-sphere".
