Hmm. Usually you don't do the public announcement until the background check is over. For Masiello it seems really dumb. Was it really that hard to get jobs in college basketball because he hadn't actually gotten the B.A. that he needed to lie about it? I'd also be curious to see exactly what his resume said, and what his status was - he attended for 4 yrs. and a summer term. That would usually indicate he was just a credit or three from graduating, or maybe had enough raw credits but had not met all his distributionals or did not have enough credits in a major or some like that. It just seems a shame to watch a career go "puff" from such minor "puffery," but we live in an era where people seem to what to enhance their resume, life-story, etc. Maybe you should update his Wikipedia page for him, which says as of this moment that he "is" the coach at USF.

That is one reason I don't trust Wiki. :-)
USF didn't make a public announcement. Someone leaked it; I'm not sure if it was someone from Masiello's camp or from USF, or another source, but the twitterverse picked it up and ran with it. I'm hearing that Masiello hadn't officially resigned from Manhattan yet.
I'll be he ends up staying at Manhattan, and maybe doing whatever he needs to do to get his degree.
Do you know if most universities require a degree for their coaches? I wonder if the overriding issue was that he lied on his resume, or that he doesn't meet the qualifications for USF coach without a degree?
