I don't know what new personal issues he may have, but there's no excuse for toying with the poor school and the kids like he did. I hope they find a way to recoup some of that salary.

granted this is a bad way to leave but look at all he has done for the school

Zona's kinda been a mess the last two seasons with this saga. Though I don't think that'll be his legacy. His '97 championship team and their incredible run will be my lasting impression.

He is/was a fantastic coach, the last few years won't hurt his legacy.
