CLEVELAND (AP) Dennis Felton stood at a podium with Cleveland's burgeoning skyline serving as a fitting backdrop for his new basketball home.

"This isn't just any city," Felton said after being introduced Monday as Cleveland State's 15th coach. "This is a city that's on fire."

He meant that symbolically, of course, perhaps unaware of how sensitive locals can be after decades of jokes about the nearby Cuyahoga River, which caught fire in the 1970s.
