Busy day…here’s a second edition of the DD…
Earlier today, I mentioned some names at High Point (HERE). I have been told by multiple sources that UConn assistant Luke Murray needs to be added to the list. He has been at UConn for the past two seasons, and also worked at Louisville, Xavier, URI, Towson, Wagner, Quinnipiac, and Arizona.
I have heard that on campus interviews are underway at Buffalo. One name I keep hearing here is Northwest Missouri head coach Ben McCollum. This past season, McCollum’s team went 31-3 before getting knocked out of the NCAA D2 tournament a few weeks ago. He has won 4 National Championships at Northwest, and holds an unreal record of 365-86 (.809) in 14-seasons.
It sounds like the final group at D2 Central Missouri includes two current D2 head coaches – both currently coaching in the Great American Conference. More on this one soon.
I have heard a few names at D2 Western Colorado including Colorado Mines assistant Brad Schick and a current JUCO head coach who used to be an assistant at the school. This one could be wrapped up shortly.
The first edition of the Daily Dirt from earlier today is HERE.
HoopDirt.com’s up-to-date list of college basketball coaching changes at the D1, D2, D3, NAIA, and JUCO levels can be found HERE.
