– When the Knights do hire a new head coach, though, they’ll be tasked with meeting sky-high expectations right out of the gate, which is obviously daunting. [The Athletic]
– Everyone makes fun of teams that fail to make the playoffs for relegating to playing golf all summer. Well, the Knights are playing golf, but for a pretty good cause.
