Former Cornell coach Scott Thompson is mentioned in the Register-Guard:When [Don] Monson was let go after the 1992 season, the [Oregon] Ducks looked widely for a replacement. Oregon’s first choice was former Arizona assistant Scott Thompson, a 38-year-old wunderkind who had rebuilt Rice from the dregs of college basketball to a pair of 20-win seasons. But with UO’s offer on the table, Thompson took more money from Wichita State.
How did that work out? After four losing seasons at Wichita State, Thompson was fired and went to Cornell of the Ivy League, where health problems forced him to resign after five seasons and a 45-60 record.
