By now everyone has heard about Jeff Speedy leaving the U of R to coach his home province team at the University of New Brunswick. From a selfish perspective, I'll miss dealing with Jeff. He was very accessible, accomodating and an interesting interviewee.
From a basketball perspective, I suspect the Cougars will be fine. The U of R program has developed (especially under the guidance of Jeff and his predecessor Christine Stapleton) into one of the elite programs in the country.
I wish Jeff all the best. I guess sometimes it's possible to put family concerns first, without sacrificing your career goals. This looks to be one of those rare instances.
