Brian Kennedy resigned from NJIT the same way that Nathan Davis did from Bucknell.
The causes were clearly the same, but Kennedy and/or NJIT arranged to portray it as Kennedy's action.
True, but a number of news sources used the word “fired” when reporting on Kennedy’s departure. As for ND, Bucknell didn’t use the word “fired” either:
“ Bucknell director of athletics & recreation Jermaine Truax announced on Thursday that Nathan Davis will be pursuing other opportunities after eight seasons as head coach of the men's basketball program.”
