Holy Cross tabs Kearney to replace Willard
NCAA Basketball Betting Lines
07/02/2009 -
Worcester, MA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Holy Cross named Sean Kearney its new head
men's basketball coach on Thursday.
Kearney, who becomes the 15th head coach in the history of the program,
replaces Ralph Willard who resigned last month. Willard, who compiled a
192-117 record at Holy Cross over the previous 10 years, left to join Rick
Pitino's staff at Louisville.
That opened a spot for Kearney, who gained his first collegiate head coaching
position. Kearney comes to Holy Cross from Notre Dame, where he served as
associate head coach for the last nine years under Mike Brey.
"I have been extremely fortunate to have worked with some great head coaches
in my career and none more important than Mike Brey in these last 14 seasons,"
said Kearney. "I am especially proud of both my work at Notre Dame and the
relationships that I have built there. It is a special place and my family
and I have invested quite a bit in that community. I look forward to taking
over the reins of the Crusader program from coach Ralph Willard and am well
aware of his team's successes over his tenure."

As cup crazy fans prepare to place their bets, one online sportsbook ,MySportsbook.com, is offering hockey betting lines on the 2007/2007 Stanley Cup , who will bring it home this upcoming season.
Despite a poor showing in last season's playoffs and the loss of Steve Yzerman to retirement, the Detroit Red Wings are early favourites at this online sportsbook with wagering odds of 6-1. The Wings will look to offensive powerhouse Pavel Datsyuk and newly appointed captain Nicklas Lidstrom to lead one of the league's most prominent franchises.
