SPORTS Evans is the right move for UCO games under .500 doesn't seem cause for alarm, but the program in general has seemed tired the last few years and Seward was right to pull the plug.

A stellar 4-year stint at Midwest City brought Evans much acclaim along with two High School Coach of the Year Awards. His 100-11 record dominated class 6A sending the Bombers to three state titles. Now high school success does not necessarily precedent college wins, but Evans has also been apart of winning college programs before. From 1989-1993, Evans played with the run and gun style of legendary OU coach Billy Tubbs. More recently Evans held the job of Director of Operations for OU during the Sooners' 31-5 run that ended at the NCAA Tournament Final Four. Time will only tell if Evans can rebuild the UCO program back to the powerhouse it should be, but in this case, the saying rings true: Change is a good thing. •
