Former Canes also voiced their reactions to Golden’s ejection.
Excluding Swasey I'm not sure there is a more respected coach by the players than Coach Scott. Excited to see what he can do.

For the record, I like Al Golden and wish him God's blessings. He was always receptive to and treated me well. He's a decent and good man!

Nothing but respect for Coach Larry Scott. One of the best coaches I've ever been around.
