Fassell, eh? Well, he was a good coach - took a lot of heat for things that weren't necessarily his fault. I figured it's only a matter of time before he returns to coaching, and doing so on the college level might not be such a terrible idea. Then again, does he have any experience at all working in the NCAA?

Well then, I can't see any reason for this not to happen. Good hire for the Bruins, IMO.
