And so is his wife, apparently.

I've been meaning to do an alumni report on former UNCG coaches, like Fran McCaffery, Ken Dempsey and Billy Taylor, and this is as good a time as any to update you McCaffery's whereabouts.

An alert reader emailed me the links to these two stories in the Albany Times-Union.

The first describes what happened in Siena's loss to Hofstra in which both McCaffery and his wife, Margaret, were ejected. The second interviews them in the aftermath.

A coach's wife getting ejected is certainly a story, but not necessarily that stunning if you knew Margaret McCaffery at all. Unlike some coach's wives, McCaffery knew the game very well, having played it in college. So from the start, she was always into game. And with her family's livelihood on the line, no other fan had as much at stake. Add in a fiery temper - which runs maybe neck and neck with Fran's - and you've got the recipe for something like this.

Needless to say, she was the most entertaining basketball spouse I've ever covered.

Siena, by the way, has won four of its last five conference games to reach 8-8 in the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference (MAAC) and 13-12 overall. That's an impressive improvement over last year's 6-24, 4-14 record.
