The update you've been clamoring for ...

Hardly a day goes by without someone asking me, "Jim, what's King Rice up to these days?"

Well, I've found the answer: getting tossed out of Vanderbilt-Florida games.

Yep, apparently King is an assistant coach for the Commodores (to Bill Dauterive look-a-like Kevin Stallings) and was ejected in the second half of Wednesday night's game. According to The Tennessean, King's a bit mystified by the whole thing.

"I'm a 'cheerleader' coach. I didn't say one word to dude. I clapped and smiled."

That's a step up from last season, when King Rice hung around Chapel Hill to give Roy Williams another warm body in practice. If I'm not mistaken, Hubert Davis did the same. Of course, Roy has no depth issues this season.

And, did he really call the ref "dude"? Not even "the dude," just "dude"? Guess he's part of the Jim Rome generation.
