Devin Poole Wraps Season, Blames Everyone But Himself, Fires Overambitious Assistant, Declares Next Year Will Be His -
by centgent on January 1st, 2026
SHREVEPORT, LA — Centenary College of Louisiana head coach Devin Poole, who took over midseason under what he described as “chaotic but inevitable circumstances,” addressed the media following the end of a difficult season — and made it abundantly clear: nothing that went wrong this year was his fault.
“I got the job and then immediately had to coach games,” Poole said. “No ramp-up. No welcome packet. I think someone handed me a polo and a whiteboard and said, ‘Good luck.’”
Poole then turned his attention to the assistants, making headlines with a particularly pointed critique.
“One assistant was overambitious — tried to run plays I hadn’t approved, reorganized practice schedules mid-week, and somehow convinced half the team that layups were optional,” Poole said. “That overreach? That’s why he’s gone. Fired. Out. Effective immediately. Not my fault — just consequences meeting incompetence.”
He elaborated:
“The other assistant… well, he’s still learning that a 'pick and roll' is not some kind of new, trendy, sushi bar. Okay? That's what I've had to work with so far.”
When asked about the season’s record, Poole leaned back, completely unflappable.
“Record?” he said. “We lost. Yes. But context is everything. Did we expect miracles from a roster I didn’t recruit, a system I didn’t design, and assistants running their own agendas? No. Losses are just, frankly, logistical feedback for other people.”
Poole then unveiled his offseason vision, which sounded more like a personal manifesto than a plan:
“We will rebuild the roster. We will rebuild the staff. I will personally approve shoes, water bottles, practice lengths, locker room temperature, and motivational posters. Anyone who can’t survive that level of clarity — optional.”
He concluded with an air of inevitability.
“Next year will be different. My assistants will know their roles. The players will know theirs. If we lose again? That’s the universe failing to keep pace with my brilliance.”
Poole collected his notes, nodded once to the stunned room, and exited — reportedly heading straight to review potential candidates for an assistant who will finally understand that ambition is only useful when it’s properly channeled.
