• I can confirm that former Grambling assistant Tae Norwood has accepted an assistant position on the staff at Northern Michigan. He has also been an assistant at Florida Gulf Coast and Georgia Southern.

• I have heard from two separate sources that Weber State assistant Tim Gardner is resigning to pursue business opportunities. Gardner had been on the Weber State staff for the past six seasons after spending seven seasons as the head boy’s basketball coach at Juan Diego High School in Draper, Utah.

• Greg Himes has resigned as the head men’s basketball coach a tSouthern State CC (OH). He was OCAC Co-Coach of the Year the last two years. Himes will be going into a basketball scouting and camp business and will pursue other coaching opportunities.
