Athletic director, basketball coach out at Grambling

GRAMBLING, Louisiana --New Grambling interim president Cynthia Warrick didn't take long to leave her mark on the university.

"In her first official day as Grambling's leader, Warrick made significant changes across the board, relieving athletic director Aaron James and men's basketball coach Joseph Price of their duties.

Warrick took over Tuesday, a day after former president Frank Pogue wrapped up his tenure.

"I didn't foresee it coming, but I do understand when you change president's — I've been in the system long enough — a lot of times the president's have the people they want to bring into different positions, and I do understand that," James told The News-Star on Tuesday.

James, who was the athletic director for the past three years, said he received a letter from the president's office Tuesday morning indicating he had been reassigned. James previously served as a kinesiology professor.
