 | Arizona State Manager Nakano Gets the Boot Monday, June 4th, 2012: A "difference of opinion" has cost Koto Nakano his job as manager of the Arizona State Sun Devils. Following a postgame meeting with front office officials and ownership, Nakano left the ballpark without addressing reporters. It was then revealed by the team's general manager that Nakano had been dismissed from the club. Few details are available on the firing at this time. "Basically, it just came down to a difference of philosophy between Koto and management," the general manager said. When reached for comment at his Arizona State home, Nakano refused to comment on the firing other than to say, "We just mutually parted ways. That's it." The club will begin a search for Nakano's successor immediately. Several interviews have already been set up, but team officials declined to say who is on their list of possible replacements. |   |
