Here are some things that I’ve heard…

  • According to the guys at WestCoastHoops, Pearl River CC (MS) assistant coach Scott Sommer will become the Director of Basketball Operations at Cal State Northridge. He will replace former DBO Victoria Sun on Reggie Theus’ staff.
  • Barry University (FL) assistant coach Cody Stephens has departed the staff and will become a full-time assistant at Palm Beach State. He started his playing career at PBS before transferring to Averett. Last season was his first at Barry.
  • Mansfield (PA) has hired an assistant who will start next week. The new assistant has PSAC experience and was hired from a pool of over 100 resumes. I’ll post the hiring once it’s made official.
  • Names at Hartwick are starting to trickle in. I have heard that phone interviews for the vacant head coach position will take place Friday and Monday. It sounds like 10-12 guys will be interviewed. I have a bunch of the names – will go with them in the next day or so.
  • David Kaplan has been named as an assistant at Centenary College (La). Kaplan is a former high school coach from Northern Virginia. An official announcement is expected shortly.
  • Regis College (MA) has hired Rob Nelson as an assistant coach. He had been an assistant at Pine Manor College (MA) for the past two seasons.
