Generally speaking, it's been my experience when someone is fired in the middle of a season, it has been conflict between administration and the staff. I'd say administration thinks they should be winning more, and over values THEIR knowledge of the game more than the coaches' knowledge and skills. I think (not a dig on Middlesboro) that what happened in Middlesboro with their coach is a prime example of that. They had a good one. I don't know this one well at all. But anyway, that's what I've seen over the years. I've not heard anything "bad" about Russell, so I tend to think this was just administration thinking they know better when they don't.
