Nashville Rhythm Hire New Coach

My sources tell me that the Nashville Rhythm (our semi-pro basketball franchise) have hired Jerry Meyer as head coach. Meyer played college ball at David Lipscomb University (where the Rhythm play home games), was formerly the head basketball coach at Montgomery Bell Academy, and has been working professionally as a scout. Meyer is also the son of Lipscomb basketball coaching legend Don Meyer.

Last year's head coach, Ashley McElhiney, left out of frustration with management. McElhiney, the first woman to coach a men's professional team, led the Rhythm to the playoffs, though team owners opted not to accept their playoff bid. (I can think of no comparable decision in all of professional or semi-professional sports.)
