Interesting story out of Philadelphia where Girard College boys' basketball coach Tyrone Morris was apparently fired after only two games.

Morris coached Girard College to a state championship last season and his team features standout junior guard John Johnson, who already has made a verbal commitment to Pitt. Morris says he was fired after protesting a "no-foul" call in a recent game. The school says Morris resigned.
