Ruland to UDC

[DFW HOYA]

With the declining resources of the Washington Post sports section, your team either needs to start with "Maryland" or end with "Redskins" to get any coverage these days. So consider UDC, who is announcing that former Bullets All-Star Jeff Ruland is becoming its new head basketball coach. It got two sentences in the Post. Two.

Over at the NY Post, they seem a lot more optimistic, writing that Ruland "will oversee a dramatic transformation in the university's program from the Division II to the Division I level."

I'm not sure Division I is reachable for UDC given its financial condition, but maybe we'll find out more.

Ah, Jeff Ruland.
Does anybody remember the 1986 Sixers trade of Moses Malone, Terry Catledge and TWO first round draft choices to Washington for Jeff Ruland and Cliff Robinson.

A true franchise wrecker of a transaction.
