Harrick Isn’t Drawing Any Sympathy, Either

First Jim Harrick gets the jitters when Larry Smith gets fired, and maybe he should. Then, after the loss to Arizona, he says: “The Pac-10 champion will lose four or five games this year.” What is his IQ? Doesn’t he remember Smith’s compromising remarks about USC’s logo? If he is willing to give up four or five games at the beginning of the season, his standards are just not high enough.
