Air Force fires basketball coach Reynolds

NCAA Basketball Betting Lines

02/08/2012 - Colorado Springs, CO (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Air Force men's basketball coach Jeff Reynolds was fired Wednesday with the team in the midst of a six-game losing streak.

Athletic director Dr. Hans Mueh made the announcement. Associate head coach Dave Pilipovich will take over as head coach for the remainder of this season.

Reynolds was in his fifth season as head coach of the Falcons. He led them to a 16-16 record last season and their first berth in a postseason tournament in four years.

The Falcons lost in the second round of the CollegeInsider.com tournament and are 11-10 this season, including a 1-6 mark in the Mountain West Conference.

Reynolds went 63-82 for Air Force and is 145-116 in eight-plus season as a college head coach. He has also coached at North Carolina Wesleyan and Wingate College.

He was an assistant for two years under Jeff Bzdelik and was promoted in April 2007 after Bzdelik left to coach Colorado.

The Falcons haven't won a game since January 14 at Boise State. They took then-No. 12 UNLV to overtime two weeks ago before losing, 65-63.

Afterward, UNLV coach Dave Rice said he was impressed by the pace of the Air Force offense.

"We had a hard time guarding them and that's a credit to Air Force," Rice said. "I think it's always frustrating when you play against a team that is very methodical and has a different style, but that's a part of becoming a very good team."

After the same game, Reynolds said he couldn't fault his players' effort.

"I thought they played their hearts out," he said. "We're a good basketball team. We've got to continue to believe in what we're doing and at some point we'll be in a position to at least get a shot at it."

Air Force will play its first game without Reynolds on Saturday against Boise State at home.

With the field of 64/65 set, MySportsbook.com has the Florida Gators as the 4-1 favorite to successfully defend their National Championship.  Men’s Division-1 College Basketball has not seen a team repeat as National Champions since Duke won back to back championships in ’91 & ‘92.  After losing three out of four late in the season, the Gators are full of momentum as they won their last four games by an average of 18 points.  Not surprisingly, right behind the Gators are the other three top seeds: Kansas 5-1, UNC 6-1, and Ohio State 7-1.  Many consider Kansas to be the hottest team in the country, having won 11 straight. With Kansas, it is hard to ignore all of the early exits from the “dance” in recent years.  With an impressive ACC Tournament, UNC ensured themselves the other top seed.  UNC has about as much talent as any other team in the tournament but with a team that’s best players are primarily freshman and sophomores, could youth be a concern.  Behind freshman sensation, Greg Oden, OSU will look to do what their football team failed to do just a few months earlier.  OSU seems to have peeked at the right time, as they currently have a 17 game winning streak.  Since the tournament field was expanded in 1985, there has never been an instance where all four #1 seeds advanced to the Final Four.  It is obvious that each of the top seeds have the talent to make it through to Atlanta.  But as everyone knows, when makes the NCAA Tournament so special are all of the spoilers and “Cinderella” stories that knock off the favorites on a daily basis.
