CHARLESTON, S.C. (AP) – College of Charleston President Glenn McConnell says he and school officials did the right thing by taking deliberate steps before firing men’s basketball coach Doug Wojcik, and then employing a careful approach took to finding his replacement.
The latest step came Friday, with McConnell introducing Earl Grant to replace Wojcik. The announcement came more than two months after McConnell took over leadership and was hit with complaints from players and athletic staffers who said that Wojcik was verbally abusive.
McConnell says the team came to him his first day on the job. He said he would conduct a thorough investigation, then on Aug. 5 he fired Wojcik and formed a search committee.
McConnell would not say if he thought Wojcik would sue for the remaining $1.2 million on his contract.
