Yes, Balado has rough edges. He is not shy about dropping F-bombs – a sin some people in Jonesboro find as egregious as kicking puppies and skipping church. His early teams were a mess (he’ll tell you that some guys no longer rostered just didn’t buy into the program). Many people believe that five years was too slow to turn the program around – as if the program hasn’t underperformed for thirty years. He’s a Floridian who speaks with a Bronx accent (at least to my Southern ears), and his temper flareups are unseemly to a righteous fanbase who see Hugh Freeze has the Christian epitome of leadership.

The last three Red Wolves opponents have shot 32%, 37% and 36.7%.
Because the Red Wolves are, for the second consecutive season, without a football bowl berth, my appetite for hoops has increased significantly.
A game after playing tough against #25 Texas Tech, the Red Wolves made the Air Force Falcons look like chickadees.
