Foyle looking for new job
The only former Patriot League player to play in the NBA is looking for a new job after having his contract bought out by the Golden State Warriors.

Adonal Foyle, who led Colgate to back-to-back league titles in 1995 and 1996, was Golden State's all-time leading shotblocker, but according to a report in the Examiner, his defensive style of play was a bad fit for the Don Nelson's up and down style of play. After averaging nearly 24 minutes per game in 2005-2006, Foyle's minutes dropped to under 10 per game last season.

Foyle, who was in the midst of a seven-year, $42 million contract signed prior to the 2004-05 season, becomes an unrestricted free agent. No word on how much of the approximately $18 million remaining on his contract he received in the buyout. He is expected to sign with another team, most likely one with a style that better suits Foyle's defensive skills.
