Thunder Dan To Grand Canyon University

Canyon Crazies... Meet Thunder Dan... (thanks, gculopes.com)
So, this is what happens when you go from the NAIA to the WAC...

The same thing happened to Paul Westphal as a first step to coaching when he took over the NAIA school a long time ago. And you all know where the coaching track after that...

Now, with Jerry Colangelo the Special Assistant to the President at GCU- effective March 8th, Dan Majerle gets to work on his coaching chops and, probably, make sure that he doesn't stray far from the Colangelo Way...

The HQ questions Grand Canyon's move to the WAC with the heat of a thousand suns...
Pun unintentional...

But we get it...
Get hammered in some sports, and make sure you can compete in others that could be big money-makers for the school...

Majerle takes over for Russ Pennell who resigned all of three days ago...
And don't be surprised if the Antelopes find a way to play in a larger barn than the 2,000 seat gym they play in now- that Colangelo has a say in as to the location... and, maybe, even a past relationship...

Here's the announcement...
