Memphis Hires New Coach, Raiford Is Back, Rhodes Welcomes Wallace

The University of Memphis has reached an agreement with assistant Josh Pastner to be the next men's basketball coach for the Tigers. This is not the splash everyone was expecting from a coaching standpoint, but Pastner does bring solid recruiting background. He will have to hire very good assistants to make up for his lack of head coaching experience.

Paula Raiford's new Downtown club opened over the weekend. Early reports indicate that the fog machine is working triple-time and everyone had a great time. The new club also brings new closing times. The new Raiford's will close at 6am on Friday and Saturday nights.

Chris Wallace, host of “FOX News Sunday,” will discuss “Obama’s First 100 Days” on April 20 at Rhodes College. The event is free and open to the public. It will begin at 7 p.m. in Hardie Auditorium on Rhodes campus.
